Douluo: Neighbor San Comes Over to Use My Wi-Fi

The boy with the Flame Chicken martial soul immediately ran to the Flame Bird, drawing a blade across its neck.

A few minutes later, the guy succeeded, immediately activating his Martial Soul Possession as a chicken crow echoed through the air.

"Are you trying to get us killed? Making that kind of noise will attract soul beasts!" Kelse really wanted to crush this guy.

"Teacher, another soul beast is already approaching. It seems very interested in that chicken." Nan Xuan activated his First Soul Skill, keeping a constant watch on his surroundings.

"Pack up quickly and move out! These soul beasts are all part of a food chain; if we don't run, we'll be their next meal." Kelse suppressed his rage and shouted at the group.

Nan Xuan increased his output of spiritual power, catching a clear look at the soul beast: "Teacher, that soul beast is a Seal Eagle. It's perfect for my martial soul, and its age is just right for me."

Upon hearing this, Kelse hesitated. If they left now, it would be difficult to find another suitable one later, but staying was risky.

After a moment of thought, he asked, "How many?"

Nan Xuan replied, "One."

"Sigh, get ready. Everyone hide. The wings of a Seal Eagle can form a Seal Formation capable of sealing soul power and spiritual power. We must kill it in one strike." Kelse decided to stay and take the eagle down.

"Control-type Soul Masters, get your soul skills ready. Release them when I give the command," Kelse ordered.

The two Control-type Soul Masters in the team nodded to show they understood.

A streak of green light cut through the sky, and a Seal Eagle over 1.5 meters tall appeared beside the Flame Bird's carcass, lowering its head to sniff the body.

"Release!"

Following Kelse's command, the Control-type Soul Masters unleashed their strongest control skills.

Taking advantage of this brief window, Kelse landed a heavy punch on the eagle's head. Since avian skulls are much harder than other parts of their bodies, Kelse's blow only left it half-injured.

Seeing that the Seal Eagle could still counterattack, Bibi Dong immediately unleashed her Third Soul Skill, Death Spider Web Restraint.

Then, following up with the high-output Second Soul Skill, the Seal Eagle's skull shattered. Nan Xuan had been monitoring the battle in real-time, and seeing the soul beast about to expire, he threw a flying knife that arrived just in time.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't quite control it," Bibi Dong said with an apologetic tone.

The others said nothing; Kelse could only think that his name should have been Fan, not Kelse.

Nan Xuan walked over to Bibi Dong and gently patted her small hand to show her it was fine and she shouldn't worry.

Nan Xuan sat on the ground, summoned his martial soul, and began to draw in the soul ring formed by the Seal Eagle, guiding it onto his martial soul.

"Wait, something's not right. The wingspan of this Seal Eagle is 4 meters. According to Martial Soul Hall's research records, it should be 5,500 years old. A fourth soul ring of this age has never been absorbed before," Kelse thought as he looked at the carcass, but he realized Nan Xuan had already begun.

Kelse raised his arm to strike at Nan Xuan, but was fortunately stopped by Bibi Dong.

"Teaching Assistant Bibi Dong, what are you doing? If you don't stop him from absorbing the soul ring, he will die from his body exploding due to excessive soul power!" Kelse looked at Bibi Dong's blocking move, completely baffled, even suspecting that the two had a grudge.

"Teacher Kelse, I can guarantee that student Nan Xuan will absorb it safely. He already explained the situation to me earlier; it was just a bit rushed, so he didn't mention it. Please, just wait quietly," Bibi Dong said with a slightly cold tone.

Bibi Dong looked at the trouble Nan Xuan had left behind and felt speechless; she actually had to clean up his mess. If she hadn't known that this guy could absorb soul rings beyond his limit, she would have been worried to tears.

Nan Xuan's face was pale, his back drenched in sweat, which made even the usually calm Bibi Dong feel a bit panicked.

Kelse was also extremely tense; if a student died, he wouldn't have an easy time when he returned.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. About 40 minutes later, Nan Xuan's aura had completely stabilized.

An hour later, Nan Xuan had fully absorbed the soul ring.

When he stood up, he felt an itch on his back, but he didn't check it, instead activating his First Soul Skill.

Suddenly, his face turned panicked, and he shouted loudly at Kelse and the others: "Teacher, tell everyone to leave immediately! A flock of Vultures is coming!"

"What? Damn it, I've never had such bad luck with the students I've brought this time!" Kelse cursed loudly, while also shouting for everyone to be alert and leave quickly.

A loud noise erupted in the sky—the sound of Vultures flapping their wings. These soul beasts loved carrion, but sometimes they also favored the carcasses of special soul beasts, such as the hard-to-hunt Seal Eagle, or even soul masters.

Nan Xuan pulled Bibi Dong toward the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, with the rest of the group following behind. Kelse chose to bring up the rear to protect everyone.

They knew Nan Xuan's soul skill could sense the surroundings, so they trusted that his route was relatively safe.

The facts proved this to be true; along the way, they only encountered a few low-level soul beasts.

However, this also meant that the other five students who hadn't obtained soul rings might return empty-handed.

Kelse looked at the five disappointed students, pondered for a moment, walked over to Nan Xuan, and asked, "Nan Xuan, what is the range of your sensing? If possible, we can look around the outer perimeter, and if it really doesn't work out, we'll try another path to the central area."

"1,500 meters," Nan Xuan said casually.

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this number, silently complaining in her heart: "You told me 4,500 meters last time. How does it get shorter the more you cultivate? I really believed your Ghost Douluo nonsense."

Nan Xuan replied: "Sorry, everything you knew was fake."

"Achoo!" Far away at the Martial Soul Hall headquarters, Ghost Douluo sneezed.

"I'm a ghost; I'm not even sure if I have a physical body, so how could I sneeze?"

Finding no answer, he stopped thinking about it and decided to go find old Ju to hang out with.

Back at the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Alright then, we'll do as I just said. Nan Xuan, if your soul power is exhausted, tell us so we can adjust and rest, just in case." Kelse was scared out of his wits today; a group of unlucky students had made his heart weary.

Nan Xuan didn't hesitate and immediately expanded his soul skill to observe the outer forest.

After a few days of exploration, three more people found suitable soul beasts in the outer forest, although the age was a bit lower than normal, it didn't have much of an impact.

Days later, the final two students found suitable soul rings at the boundary between the central region and the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

At the outer exit of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Teacher Kelse, I would like to request to leave the team. The reason is that I have been away from home for eight years. I am an orphan raised by the village chief, so I want to go back and visit," Nan Xuan said to Kelse, his tone a mix of truth and fabrication.

Kelse, the team leader, was aware of these details, but as a teacher, he had to prioritize safety. Looking at Nan Xuan, he said with a hint of reluctance, "Nan Xuan, you are a Support-type Soul Master, and your home is quite a distance from here. Why don't you wait until next time..."

"Teacher Kelse, I can accompany student Nan Xuan. As it happens, I need to collect some information at the Martial Soul Hall branch over there, so I can just protect him along the way," Bibi Dong said with a casual expression.

"Really? Then thank you so much, Assistant Teacher Bibi Dong," Nan Xuan said quickly, looking at his wife providing the assist.

Kelse had no choice but to compromise. He sometimes worked for the Martial Soul Hall and knew that this assistant teacher's identity was not simple. With the two of them singing from the same hymn sheet, what else could he say?

After obtaining Kelse's permission, Nan Xuan took Bibi Dong and headed toward the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. Upon entering the empire, Nan Xuan rented a carriage and hurried toward Iron Box Village.

Although they were heading to the village, Nan Xuan took Bibi Dong to explore the cities along the way, showing her the local scenery.

Days later, the two finally arrived at Iron Box Village.

Nan Xuan jumped off the carriage and helped Bibi Dong down.

"Don't be so gentlemanly; it's a bit uncomfortable," Bibi Dong teased, looking at Nan Xuan's behavior.

"How can I not? If I'm not good to my girlfriend, I'll get scolded if the villagers see me later," Nan Xuan said with a grin.

"Oh, right, my house hasn't been lived in for a long time. I don't know if the little wooden cabin is still standing. If there's nowhere to stay, we'll have to make do on the grass outside," Nan Xuan said with a meaningful look, making Bibi Dong blush.

For some reason, Nan Xuan had just sensed a trace of killing intent.

However, it vanished in an instant. Nan Xuan could guess with his eyes closed that it was the tail following them; it was likely someone sent by Qian Xunji to protect Bibi Dong, or perhaps to monitor her.

"What's wrong?" Bibi Dong asked with concern, noticing Nan Xuan's solemn expression.

"Nothing, just worried you'll suffer with me," Nan Xuan didn't tell her the truth, instead flashing a silly grin at her.

"Smooth talker," Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at him and turned to walk into the village.

Seeing this, Nan Xuan quickly followed. They went to the village chief's house first.

Along the way, Bibi Dong was quite popular, surrounded by a group of children asking her all sorts of questions.

Bibi Dong smiled without answering, turning her gaze toward Nan Xuan.

Nan Xuan spread his hands to show he couldn't help, then pushed open the door to the village chief's house.

"Grandpa Chief, it's me, Nan Xuan. I'm back."

Village Chief Nan Lu, who was engrossed in his account books, immediately looked up at the sound of Nan Xuan's name and walked out of the room.

"It really is you, Xiao Xuan. You've grown quite a bit over these years," the village chief said with an excited smile as he looked at the young man before him.

In truth, those familiar with Nan Xuan could easily recognize him; after all, his high level of attractiveness made him very distinct.

"Hehe, Grandpa Chief, I came home this time to visit you and to pay my respects to my parents," Nan Xuan said with a smile, helping the village chief to a chair.

"Sigh, eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. You've grown up," the village chief sighed as he looked at Nan Xuan.

"Grandpa Chief, you received the money I sent you and the village over the years, right?" Although Nan Xuan had seen that every household had repaired their homes upon entering the village, he still asked out of concern.

"We received it all, don't you worry about that. Though, I do wish more soul masters would emerge; after all, soul masters are the mainstream of this continent," the village chief looked at Nan Xuan with a weary expression.

Nan Xuan didn't respond, as this wasn't something that could be changed with money.

"Xiao Xuan, what level is your soul power now?" The village chief recalled that Nan Xuan had Innate Full Soul Power during his awakening, so he must be at least a Soul Grand Master by now.

"Grandpa Chief, I am a level 42 Soul Ancestor now," Nan Xuan said with a smile, summoning his martial soul and revealing his soul rings.

"What? A Soul Ancestor?" The village chief's hearing was still quite good, but he hadn't expected Nan Xuan's mutated martial soul to be capable of reaching the level of a Soul Ancestor.

"Good, good, that's great. I was originally thinking of passing the position of village chief to you, but it seems that won't be possible," the village chief shook his head and smiled. Although he sounded disappointed, he was very happy inside.

"Oh, right, Grandpa Chief, I brought someone back with me this time, Dong'er," Nan Xuan smiled and called out toward the entrance.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong finally felt relieved.
