Speaking of Which~

A few days later.

Stretch forward and exert force.

"Pectoralis major-chan~ What do you like?"

"Hi~ I like chicken breast the most~ But I like~ you~ even more~"

Spread the hips wide!

"Sphincter-chan~ What do you like?"

"Hi~ I like braised beef~ But I also like~ you~ even more~"

Wang Chuan was warming up before his workout.

A song he had written, composed, and performed himself played on repeat in his mind, and he was utterly immersed in his own art.

But just then, a gentle voice rang out.

"Cousin Wang Chuan, I have something to discuss with you. Would you mind if I interrupted you for a moment?"

Wang Chuan paused briefly, but quickly found his rhythm again, completely ignoring the owner of that voice, Yu Xiaogang.

Because Wang Chuan knew very well.

No matter how much Yu Xiaogang appeared to have changed, his rotten nature could not possibly vanish completely in such a short time.

And reality was just as Wang Chuan had expected.

Yu Xiaogang, having been ignored, wore an awkward, stiff expression beneath the gentle smile he had struggled to maintain.

Quite a few clan members who had been secretly watching Wang Chuan noticed this scene. Soon, word spread from one to ten, then from ten to a hundred, and everyone began turning their attention in this direction.

However, no one dared to gossip about Yu Xiaogang.

Wang Chuan was the perfect warning.

Yu Xiaogang felt increasingly embarrassed.

But nearly a year of confinement had genuinely tempered his temperament. He was no longer as arrogantly unrestrained as before just because of some petty emotions or his status.

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang secretly swore that once he learned what kind of Spirit Beast Wang Chuan's Spirit Ring came from, and after he became a high-level Spirit Master through his "hard work," he would make these snobs see him in a new light!

He would let these people know that there were no useless Martial Spirits, only useless Spirit Masters!

But in reality, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly put some distance between himself and Wang Chuan.

After warming up, Wang Chuan began lifting enormous stone dumbbells with exaggerated intensity.

Yu Xiaogang had not thought much of it when watching from afar before, but now that he faced Wang Chuan's training directly, even the gusts kicked up by those swinging dumbbells made his heart tremble.

He was afraid Wang Chuan might let one slip and seriously injure him.

After exercising the muscles throughout his body, Wang Chuan summoned Golden Scale again and began training with Golden Scale coiled around him.

Yu Xiaogang stared fixedly at the scene, the greed in his eyes plainly visible.

Wang Chuan noticed it from the corner of his eye and thought, as expected, Yu Xiaogang never came without a purpose. This time, he had indeed come to covet the secrets of his Martial Spirit.

After finishing his training, Wang Chuan was drenched in sweat and gasping heavily, looking both miserable and weak.

At that moment, Golden Scale shrank and wrapped itself around Wang Chuan's right arm.

Combined with Wang Chuan's obviously intimidating build, it immediately gave him a rough and unruly air. Then Wang Chuan headed straight for the dining hall.

Yu Xiaogang was instantly dumbfounded and hurriedly shouted.

"Hey! Cousin, don't go! I really have something to ask you! Don't go!"

But Wang Chuan had no intention of paying Yu Xiaogang any attention.

In the world of Spirit Masters, strength was supreme. No matter how noble Yu Xiaogang's status was, as long as Wang Chuan did not cross the line, Yu Xiaogang had no way to bring out Yu Yuanzhen to suppress him.

So Wang Chuan was not afraid in the slightest.

You want to ask about my secrets? Dream on!

But just then, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly said, "I have something to ask you. I'm willing to pay ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

Wang Chuan stopped in his tracks.

But speaking of which~

If the other party was not trying to get something for free, then it was not impossible to discuss it.

However, when Wang Chuan turned around, his expression remained calm.

Because Wang Chuan knew very well that in business, he absolutely could not reveal his bottom line through his expression. He had to make the other party understand that he was dissatisfied; only then could he maximize his profits.

Thus, Wang Chuan said calmly.

"The Second Young Master certainly has refined interests. But first, tell me what you want to ask. We can discuss the price afterward."

Seeing Wang Chuan's dramatically changed attitude, Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched.

He only knew that prying into another Spirit Master's secrets was a path to death. But if both sides were willing to make an exchange of benefits, then it was not impossible.

Seeing Wang Chuan act as though neither oil nor salt could get through to him, Yu Xiaogang had hurriedly shouted that earlier.

Soon, a proper smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's lips.

Because no matter how foolish Yu Xiaogang was, he could tell by now that Wang Chuan appeared calm on the surface but was actually a money-grubber.

And as the second young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, money was what he lacked least!

Now this was his home turf!

Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat twice, forcibly suppressing the arrogance in his bones as he put on the hypocritical smile he had cultivated over the past year.

"It's like this, Cousin. I would like to ask what Spirit Beast your first Spirit Ring came from. As payment, I am willing to offer ten thousand Gold Soul Coins," Yu Xiaogang said calmly.

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang felt deep disdain in his heart.

In his view, Wang Chuan was making an enormous profit by trading such a small piece of information for ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

And to him, that money was nothing more than pocket change~

But just as Yu Xiaogang waited confidently for Wang Chuan's answer, Wang Chuan calmly shook his head.

Yu Xiaogang's smile froze again. He said in disbelief, "Y-you refused? It's merely information about a Spirit Ring. I'm not offering one hundred or one thousand Gold Soul Coins.

"It's ten thousand, Cousin. Did you mishear me, so you turned me down?"

But then Wang Chuan smiled.

"Of course not."

In those brief few seconds just now, Wang Chuan had used his Super Intelligence to consider many things!

Certainly, Wang Chuan could directly reveal information about the Titan Golden Python and earn ten thousand Gold Soul Coins from Yu Xiaogang.

But the problem was that Luo Sanpao's initial form differed slightly from Golden Scale's.

That meant what suited him might not suit Yu Xiaogang.

And the facts indeed proved this to be true.

Whether it was the Golden Sacred Dragon state of Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Fusion Skill or the Radiant Sacred Dragon passed down through his bloodline ten thousand years later, both belonged to the Pterosaur Species.

Therefore, Spirit Rings from the Serpent-Dragon Species were most likely unsuitable for Yu Xiaogang.

However, Wang Chuan was not worried about that.

After all, he had proof that he had indeed absorbed the Spirit Ring of a Titan Golden Python.

Wang Chuan's only concern was that Yu Xiaogang might bear a grudge because of this and come trouble him again. If he were then forced to reveal his thousand-year first ring, the trouble would become even greater.

After thinking it over, Wang Chuan decided to give Yu Xiaogang complete advice on choosing Spirit Rings.

This would allow him to make another profit while also avoiding unnecessary trouble.

As for Yu Xiaogang breaking through the bottleneck of Soul Elder in the future because of this.

Would that have much of an impact on the entire Douluo Continent?

In Wang Chuan's view, with Yu Xiaogang's resource-piled cultivation method, even if he broke through the Soul Elder bottleneck, his future achievements would still be extremely limited. Most likely, he would simply walk the same old path again.
