One After Another

Wang Chuan naturally had no idea that Yu Xiaogang was mentally marking him as a soft target to be squeezed.

Right now, Wang Chuan and Golden Scale were immersed in a serious feast.

At this moment, at a large table capable of seating six, only Wang Chuan and Golden Scale were eating voraciously.

Watching the mountain-like pile of food being rapidly annihilated by Wang Chuan and Golden Scale, the people around them were long past the point of surprise.

After all, it would be strange if anyone could still be shocked by a glutton performing their daily routine of stuffing their faces.

But what everyone didn't know was that this was actually a unique cultivation method for Wang Chuan.

Anyone familiar with the settings of the Luo Sanpao martial soul knows that there is a specific rule: Luo Sanpao can reduce the soul power consumption for Yu Xiaogang by consuming white radishes.

Although this setting was only mentioned in passing in the original work.

In the manga, however, one could see Luo Sanpao consuming white radishes several times its own size, which was enough to demonstrate its terrifying digestive capacity.

So, the question arises.

Given that when the martial soul summoning state is canceled, the status is reflected back onto Yu Xiaogang.

If eating white radishes can reduce Yu Xiaogang's soul power consumption, it means that Luo Sanpao is generating energy equivalent to soul power through the consumption of those radishes.

If it were to consume other things with even greater energy, could it potentially increase Yu Xiaogang's own soul power?

It is laughable that Yu Xiaogang lived for over fifty years without ever figuring out this logic, knowing only to feed Luo Sanpao cheap carrots while lamenting that his talents were unrecognized.

To this, Wang Chuan could only say: if you don't need your eyes, please donate them to someone who does, thank you.

As for Wang Chuan, who first attempted this idea, even if this energy couldn't increase soul power, it could still enhance his physical reserves.

After all, his body, which appeared to be that of a normal person, actually had a physical constitution leaning toward that of the One Piece world; otherwise, without such exaggerated physical fitness, how could he possibly cultivate Haki?

The final result was exactly as Wang Chuan had anticipated: the energy converted from food was not soul power, but a different kind of energy.

Wang Chuan felt his situation was somewhat similar to that of Tang Wulin in Douluo Dalu III, so he named it Bloodline Power.

It was also because of this power that Golden Scale was able to grow into its current form without having any soul rings attached.

Of course, that muscular physique was not a product of Bloodline Power.

It was because Wang Chuan had not mastered Life Return, so every time he digested food, not only did he exercise himself, but he also made Luo Sanpao exercise to assist in the digestion.

Because of this, among the nicknames he had acquired in the past, besides "Rice Bucket," Wang Chuan also had the inspirational title of Hardworking Chuan.

After Yu Xiaogang was taken away, Wang Chuan remained vigilant for a period of time; after all, he had already experienced Yu Xiaogang's character firsthand.

After a period of calm.

Wang Chuan assumed that after being disciplined, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't dare to come and cause him trouble again, so he threw himself back into the monotonous, day-to-day grind of becoming stronger.

But just one month later.

While immersed in weighted push-ups, Wang Chuan suddenly saw a shadow appear abruptly in front of him.

!?

However, Wang Chuan's heart remained calm.

As the saying goes, within the clan grounds, no one would dare to be so insane as to directly attack a fellow clansman.

Wang Chuan said in a flat tone, "Who is it, and what do you want?"

"Heh, I never thought there would be a guy like you in the Primary Clan School.

Kid, I heard you're very arrogant. Let's have a soul duel; I'll let you know that not everyone in the main branch is a piece of trash like Yu Xiaogang."

The newcomer spoke in a hooligan-like manner.

Wang Chuan immediately stopped his movements, then rose abruptly, flipping the heavy grinding stone on his back directly onto the ground.

The dust that kicked up made the corners of the newcomer's mouth twitch.

He secretly thought that this strength was truly monstrous.

But soon, the newcomer wore a defiant smile again.

After all, his martial soul was the orthodox Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the Blue Lightning clan. Relying on the power of lightning, he believed that among his peers, no one was his match except for his own kin.

Without a doubt, Wang Chuan accepted the challenge.

Because the instructor had once taught:

Strike once to avoid a hundred strikes!

The newcomer was a true Soul Grand Master who possessed two soul rings.

And anyone who knew of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul knew.

Because of the Dragon Transformation secret technique, the soul beasts selected for the soul rings were at the very least Sub-Dragons, so the opponent's soul skills were undoubtedly powerful.

But Wang Chuan felt no fear.

So what if the soul skills were powerful?

As long as he didn't give the opponent a chance to use them, wouldn't that be enough!

The opponent was clearly blinded by Wang Chuan's cultivation level and the arrogance stemming from a powerful martial soul, as he actually gave Wang Chuan the first move, opting not to use any soul skills and intending to trade a few blows first.

The outcome was therefore quite obvious.

Although Wang Chuan had the physique of a young boy, his strength was genuinely synchronized with the body from the Strongest Haki Inheritance!

And so, Wang Chuan delivered a punch that left his opponent stunned and senseless.

He knocked the intruder out cold instantly, leaving him no time to even throw a second punch.

Wang Chuan fell into a brief silence; it was one thing for Yu Xiaogang to be trash, but for this Soul Grand Master with a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul to be this pathetic was something else.

As expected, the cultivation system of Douluo was utter garbage!

However, the immortality offered by the Douluo system was quite tempting, so Wang Chuan had no intention of giving up on cultivating soul power.

Of course, as a fellow clansman, Wang Chuan couldn't just leave the guy he had defeated where he lay; if someone were to ambush this person later, how would he clear his name if the blame was pinned on him?

So, Wang Chuan considerately carried him to the infirmary.

This immediately ignited a frenzy of discussion within the Primary Clan School.

At the same time, through the various grapevine channels of his classmates, Wang Chuan understood why this person had come to cause him trouble.

It turned out that this Soul Grand Master was an ordinary clansman from the main branch of the Blue Lightning, receiving only the most basic cultivation resources.

Yet, he had recently become quite lavish with his cultivation spending, which led people to follow the trail and suspect the culprit to be none other than Yu Xiaogang, who was never short on resources.

After all, besides Yu Xiaogang, who else had so many idle resources, and who else within the main branch would hold a grudge against Wang Chuan?

At the same time, the harsh words Yu Xiaogang had uttered when he was defeated were brought up by everyone once again.

As for what happened next, there was no "next."

Everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan simply knew that their Second Young Master had been grounded for a very long time.

With that, the matter was left unsettled.

Although the culprit was never explicitly named, everyone knew exactly who it was.

But Wang Chuan was unhappy about this, grumbling with dissatisfaction at home.

"Damn it, I was hoping to fleece some bets off the people coming to challenge me later to pad my savings, but I never expected the path to be blocked off like this."

Just as things had calmed down for a while, Wang Chuan, who was on break, heard a knock at his door.

Opening the door, Wang Chuan looked surprised, for wasn't this his childhood sweetheart, with whom he hadn't been in contact for a long time ever since his parents went missing and were presumed dead?

Because there was truly no affection left between the two, Wang Chuan asked directly.

"Is there something you need, Wang Huanhuan?"

The girl named Wang Huanhuan had bright eyes and white teeth; although she hadn't fully matured yet, she was already a little beauty.

At this moment, she looked hesitant, possessing a certain charm that made one feel pity for her, yet the words coming out of her mouth were cold.

"Brother Wang Chuan, you know my situation; let's just leave things between us as they are."
