After Qian Renyu got his hands on Tang San's Soul Tools, he rummaged through them and, sure enough, found a huge stash of Hidden Weapons: Hidden Sleeve Arrows, Zhuge Repeating Crossbows, Flying Claws, and blueprints for all sorts of Hidden Weapons, including the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, the Pear Blossom Needle in Rainstorm, and Guanyin Tear. He really couldn't understand how Tang San could be so arrogant as to keep all this stuff in his Soul Tool.
Qian Renyu took the blueprints back to Spirit City. The power of these Hidden Weapons in this world was comparable to that of nuclear weapons.
Qian Renyu went to the Worship Hall and said to Qian Daoliu, "Grandpa, I want to bring the Blacksmith Association under Spirit Hall."
"The Blacksmith Association? Spirit Hall has its own blacksmiths. What do you need them for?"
"Because I want them to make a weapon of mass destruction."
"A weapon of mass destruction?"
"That's right. A weapon that can threaten a Titled Douluo."
What could threaten a Titled Douluo? Qian Daoliu was puzzled, but he understood that his grandson wouldn't make such a suggestion without good reason.
"If that's the case, then go ahead."
With Qian Daoliu's approval, Qian Renyu immediately sent Demon Bear Douluo to Gengxin City to recruit the Blacksmith Association.
But since the Blacksmith Association might not agree to join Spirit Hall, Qian Renyu made it clear: if the association couldn't be brought under his control, then it absolutely couldn't be allowed to serve anyone else.
For this, Demon Bear Douluo brought along three Soul Douluos and ten Soul Saints.
When they arrived in Gengxin City, the Blacksmith Association's president, Lou Gao, heard that Spirit Hall had sent people to invite them to join. He refused without even meeting them.
So that was how little they thought of me, Demon Bear.
Demon Bear Douluo immediately ordered his men to surround the Blacksmith Association.
When Lou Gao saw the scene, he was furious. Not only was he the president of the Blacksmith Association, he was also a Soul Douluo. He stormed outside in a rage.
"I'd like to see which blind fool dares to cause trouble at my Blacksmith Association!"
"President, it's Spirit Hall."
"So what if it's Spirit Hall? I, Lou Gao, am a mighty Soul Douluo. I'd like to see which fool dares to come here!"
"And just because it's Spirit Hall, that means it can do whatever it wants? That it can bully the Blacksmith Association whenever it pleases? That it can—"
Lou Gao hadn't finished—or, more accurately, he didn't dare continue after seeing the nine Soul Rings around Demon Bear Douluo.
Demon Bear Douluo simply watched Lou Gao, thinking, You're just a little Soul Douluo, yet you dare to act so arrogantly. I've seen it all now.
At that point, Lou Gao came to his senses.
"Esteemed Title Douluo, may I ask what brings you here?"
"Don't play dumb. I came to invite the Blacksmith Association to join Spirit Hall."
"Esteemed Title Douluo, our Blacksmith Association has never liked getting involved in the conflicts on the Continent, nor do we wish to join any faction. So I'm sorry, but we can't accept your invitation."
"I'm not here to discuss it with you. I'm here to inform you."
"Enough talk. Just tell me: will you agree or not?"
As he spoke, Demon Bear Douluo waved his hand. The Spirit Hall Soul Masters surrounding the association immediately released their Soul Rings.
White, yellow, purple, and black Soul Rings shimmered.
Lou Gao was worthy of being a Soul Douluo. Seeing this display, he remained calm and utterly unafraid.
"Esteemed Title Douluo, you may be strong, but our Blacksmith Association has its dignity too."
"So, for the sake of our association's better and more prosperous future, I've decided to lead it into Spirit Hall."
Demon Bear Douluo thought, Well, look at that. I was just about to make a move, and now you've surrendered.
"President Lou Gao is certainly a wise man."
A wise man knew when to yield.
Meanwhile, Shrek Academy had welcomed another student.
His name was Yu Xiaolong, the youngest son of Yu Yuanzhen, the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He was twelve years old.
Yu Xiaolong was also a transmigrator, but a die-hard Tang San fan.
In his previous life, whenever someone dared say anything bad about his third brother, he'd curse them out, no matter where he was or when it happened, without giving it a second thought.
He was the number one bootlicker in the world.
When he'd been upset by people bashing his third brother and his goddess, Xiao Wu, he'd thought, Once I get to Douluo Continent, I'll help my third brother bring down the evil Spirit Hall and ascend to godhood as soon as possible.
As he thought this, he discovered that he'd transmigrated. And not into just anyone, either—he'd become Yu Xiaolong, the youngest son of Yu Yuanzhen, head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the younger half-brother of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
He was overjoyed. Born into one of the Upper Three Sects, with a Super Douluo for a father and a knowledgeable older brother, how could he fail?
When Yu Xiaolong awakened his Martial Soul at six, he awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, just as expected, and had Innate Full Soul Power.
The entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was overjoyed, especially his father, Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen was a level 95 Titled Douluo and the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but he was the clan's only Titled Douluo holding down the fort. His own sons were all disappointing, especially that useless Yu Xiaogang.
Fortunately, his two grandsons, Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, were pretty good and could become Titled Douluos in the future.
Still, for the sake of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's continued growth and prosperity, Yu Yuanzhen decided to have a few more kids.
That was how Yu Xiaolong came to be.
Yu Yuanzhen had become a father again late in life and doted on his youngest son beyond measure. On top of that, Yu Xiaolong was a transmigrator and had a charming personality, so Yu Yuanzhen loved him all the more.
When the time came for Yu Xiaolong's Martial Soul Awakening, he successfully awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and had Innate Full Soul Power.
Yu Yuanzhen could hardly contain himself. He indulged his youngest son in everything, giving him the stars if he asked for them and the moon if he wanted it. Even if Yu Xiaolong had asked for Yu Xiaogang's head, Yu Yuanzhen would have plucked it off without hesitation and let his son kick it around like a ball.
From then on, Yu Yuanzhen went around telling everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, "My son Xiaolong has what it takes to become a Titled Douluo."
Yu Xiaolong wanted to meet his third brother as soon as possible, so after awakening his Martial Soul, he threw a fit and insisted on going to Nuoding Academy. But how could Yu Yuanzhen let such a genius go to some lousy academy? For once, he refused.
When Yu Xiaolong saw that Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't agree, he said his brother Yu Xiaogang was there and would surely take good care of him.
But the moment Yu Yuanzhen heard the name of that useless Yu Xiaogang, he slammed his hand down on the table and smashed it to pieces.
"That useless man can take care of you?"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gave him so many resources and only managed to drag him from an innate Soul Power of level 0.5 to level 29. Has he ever said a single good word about the clan?"
"You're a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. If you go to him, he won't take care of you. He'll only envy your talent and see you as a thorn in his side."
"Enough. This matter is closed."
But Yu Xiaolong didn't think much of it. You just don't understand Grandmaster. He's the one who raised my third brother into a god!
Although he couldn't meet his third brother, Yu Xiaolong still had a cheat of his own: a system.
The system's mission for him was to help Tang San become a god, after which Yu Xiaolong could become a god too.
Yu Xiaolong thought, That'll do.
But if Yu Xiaolong wanted to obtain anything, he had to exchange points for it in the System Mall.
So how did he get points?
He earned one point every time he had an intimate encounter with someone else.
It seemed there wasn't any gender restriction on these "other people."
Yu Xiaolong thought, Even better.
From then on, Yu Xiaolong started visiting the Goulan establishments around town.
But he was so young. What could he do?
So he went to the Goulan while taking tonics. Thus,
The Goulan establishments were soon abuzz with tales of Yu Xiaolong's bravery: he'd keep going even with minor injuries and wouldn't go to the hospital even with serious ones.
When his father, Yu Yuanzhen, saw this, he couldn't help sighing, "A son should be like Yu Xiaolong."
When Yu Xiaolong turned twelve, he remembered that the Shrek Seven Devils' path to godhood had begun at Shrek Academy, and insisted on going there no matter what. Yu Yuanzhen simply couldn't talk him out of it, so he agreed.
It was only after Yu Xiaolong arrived at Shrek Academy that the Shrek Academy Three Cannoneers—Lewd Dragon, Lewd Tiger, and Lewd Phoenix—came to be.
