Tang San suppressed the anger and confusion in his heart, then looked at Xiao Wu and said:
"Xiao Wu Jie, I actually have Twin Martial Souls. One is Blue Silver Grass, and the other is the Clear Sky Hammer."
As he spoke, he spread his hands open, grass in his left hand and a hammer in his right.
Xiao Wu immediately added:
"Actually, I'm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Charming Rabbit who took human form, just like your mother."
Tang San's face filled with shock at her words. Then he recalled the two times Xiao Wu had vanished in the Soul Hunting Forest.
He suddenly understood.
Lu Duzhou spoke:
"Alright, now we've truly been honest with each other. We all know one another's greatest secrets."
"We are siblings. Our safety and survival are tied together, so we must protect each other's secrets."
"You must always remember one thing: from now on, your lives don't belong to yourselves alone. They also belong to us, your family."
"When you do anything, you must consider everyone. Don't act recklessly. Tell me first if something happens, and don't make decisions on your own."
Tang San nodded.
"Big Brother, I know what matters."
Xiao Wu wrapped her arms around Lu Duzhou's neck and said:
"Ge! I'll listen to everything you say!"
Lu Duzhou flicked her nose.
"This time, I obtained quite a bit of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber at sea. I'll give half of it to you two. Work hard to refine and absorb it."
"My Third Soul Ring is at the Ten Thousand Years level. Xiao San, I hope your Third Soul Ring will be at least at the Five Thousand Years level."
"You need to work even harder!"
"I know you've spent a great deal of effort on cultivating Self-Created Soul Skills and making Hidden Weapons, but no matter what, this is a world of Soul Masters. Soul Power Level is the foundation of strength."
"Don't disappoint me!"
When Tang San heard that Lu Duzhou had actually absorbed a Ten-Thousand-Year Third Ring, he felt somewhat ashamed.
After all, Lu Duzhou had only half a level of Innate Soul Power, while he himself possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. Yet now, Lu Duzhou's Soul Power Level was higher than his, and his Soul Ring configuration was even more terrifying.
He really had wasted too much time.
"Big Brother, I understand. From now on, I won't do anything else. I'll focus only on physical training and raising my Soul Power!"
Lu Duzhou nodded in satisfaction, then glared at Xiao Wu, whose little hands were being mischievous.
"So you think I was only talking about him, not you?"
"You're a dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast rebuilding yourself in human form, yet your Soul Power is increasing this slowly. All you do every day is play."
"I didn't say much when you were little, but you've grown up now. You must cultivate properly. Before you're Twelve Years Old, condense your Third Soul Ring!"
Xiao Wu twisted her body and coquettishly protested:
"No! I'm still just a Little Rabbit!"
Lu Duzhou directly punished her again. Xiao Wu cried out in pain, while Tang San watched from the side with a foolish chuckle.
The next day, the three of them went to Notting Academy to complete their graduation procedures. Lu Duzhou found Paul, the gatekeeper, and left him one hundred Gold Soul Coins, repaying the favor from before.
After leaving Notting City, they took a carriage to Pano City.
Dugu Bo had bought a house here as a meeting gift. At the moment, he, Dugu Yan, and the others were living there.
"Xiao Zhou Didi, you're here!"
When Dugu Yan saw Lu Duzhou, she enthusiastically stepped forward and pulled him into her arms.
That gesture made Xiao Wu's heart tighten. She subconsciously took two steps forward, moving a little closer to Lu Duzhou.
Lu Duzhou lightly patted Dugu Yan's back twice before pushing her away.
"Yanyan Jie, let me introduce them. This is my Second Sister, Xiao Wu, and my Third Brother, Tang San."
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, this is Senior Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. This is Aunt Ye Yurou and Ye Lingling."
Dugu Yan was very generous as she stepped forward.
"Younger Sister Xiao Wu, Younger Brother Tang San, hello."
"You're Xiao Zhou's younger siblings, which makes you my younger siblings as well."
"Tang San, especially you. You're my grandfather's student, so we should be even closer."
Unwilling to be outdone, Xiao Wu took the initiative to extend her hand and clasp Dugu Yan's.
"Yanyan Jie, hello."
Tang San quickly bowed to Dugu Bo.
"Student Tang San pays respects to Teacher!"
Then he turned and said:
"Older Sister Dugu Yan, hello."
Dugu Bo gave a slight nod.
"Tang San, this is the Poison Scripture I've compiled over the years. It contains all kinds of poisonous flowers and herbs from Douluo Continent, as well as some methods of using poison."
"Also, there's a Spatial Soul Tool here. It has five cubic meters of storage space, and there are some poisonous herbs inside. Take it as a meeting gift!"
"Thank you, Teacher."
Tang San said respectfully.
Although he had already learned that his mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and his father was a Title Douluo, his mother was dead, while his irresponsible father had vanished without a trace.
Now, the three siblings needed someone powerful to rely on, and this Title Douluo was the best choice.
After Tang San acknowledged his teacher, Lu Duzhou brought him and Xiao Wu to Plant Academy to meet Fourth Sister Aimi and visit Dean Ailin.
Aimi got along very well with Xiao Wu, her rabbit Second Sister. In less than half a day, the two had become extremely close.
Afterward, they found Yao Zi and Mu Yunteng, and the group began shopping around Pano City.
The next day, they saw off Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, as well as Ye Lingling and her mother.
After staying in Pano City for three days and becoming familiar with the surroundings, Ailin took them to Heaven Dou City for sightseeing.
At the same time, she was showing Tang San and the others around. The group stayed at Dugu Bo's estate.
Dugu Yan took them sightseeing around Heaven Dou City.
During that time, through introductions from Dugu Bo and Ailin, Lu Duzhou met Zhi Lin, a Committee Member of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The Zhi Lin Family's inherited Martial Soul, the Heavenly Azure Vine, was one of the strongest known Plant-type Martial Souls on the entire Douluo Continent, second only to Chrysanthemum Douluo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
He had a young grandson named Zhi Bo, who was seven years old and possessed level six Innate Soul Power.
Zhi Bo planted his Martial Soul within Lu Duzhou's Land Martial Soul. Since its innate origin was not particularly strong, it did not increase Lu Duzhou's Cultivation Speed by much.
However, the new Soul Skill it produced was excellent.
Heavenly Azure Prison. Heavenly Azure Vines covered a vast area, with vine after vine shooting into the sky and linking together into an enormous green cage. Within the cage, it absorbed environmental Soul Power, preventing Soul Masters from drawing upon external Soul Power. At the same time, it absorbed the Soul Power released by Soul Masters, greatly reducing their Soul Skill Power.
At the same level, the Soul Skill Power of all Soul Masters was weakened by fifty percent. They could not recover Soul Power, and once trapped by the Heavenly Azure Vines, they could not escape. They could only wait to die inside the cage.
This was a rare domain-type skill that could directly shape the environment into a battlefield favorable to its user.
After stacking it with Lu Duzhou's Land Martial Soul, its effects were amplified. The Soul Skill Power of Soul Masters at the same level would be directly weakened by eighty percent, making them no threat at all.
Even Soul Masters two major levels above Lu Duzhou would have their Soul Skill Power weakened by at least twenty percent.
At the same time, the power of his various Soul Skills, such as Thousand Leaves Dance and Vine Dragon, was also enhanced.
This also tied the Zhi Lin Family to his warship, further increasing Lu Duzhou's personal influence.
That day, Lu Duzhou followed the girls back to Dugu Bo's estate after shopping, only to have his path blocked at the entrance.
Yu Tianheng glanced at Lu Duzhou, then looked at Dugu Yan and asked:
"Yanyan, you broke up with me because of him?"
