Master of Theory

Damn, how did I almost forget about this?

Lin Yi suddenly realized that although he didn't have a second Soul Ring yet, he could still develop more skills from his first one. The Dragon Binding he had just used was already so powerful, let alone what his other skills might be capable of.

Sigh, it seems the matter of earning Golden Soul Coins will have to be planned carefully!

"Right!"

Tang Wutong snapped her fingers, her eyes lighting up.

"Since your cultivation speed is so fast and your talent is quite good, why don't you go to the Hundred Herb Cottage and meet the Grandmaster? He was the strongest teacher back in my father's time, and he gave both Yuhao and me a lot of guidance."

"Hundred Herb Cottage? What kind of place is that? Brother San didn't seem to mark it on the map for me!"

"Oh, then my dad must not want anyone to disturb the Grandmaster. After all, after the Shrek Seven Devils fought the Pope's Palace back then, the Grandmaster quietly asked my dad to help restore Aunt Bibi Dong's soul. Now he's living with Aunt Liu Erlong, and the three of them are living quite happily together."

This was truly a story of a comeback!

Lin Yi sighed in his heart at the unpredictability of life. He hadn't expected that the Grandmaster, without making a sound, had actually become such a big winner, managing to reach the God Realm despite his average strength.

"Hey, are you going or not?"

Tang Wutong raised her eyebrows in displeasure. "Don't forget you're still my personal chef. If you aren't going, then get back to cooking!"

"The food is already done, just waiting for you two to taste it. As for me, I'll take this time to go check out the Hundred Herb Cottage. If the Grandmaster is willing to help, that would be for the best!"

"Really?"

Tang Wutong's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Huo Yuhao and headed back inside.

As for Lin Yi, he had to figure out the location of the Hundred Herb Cottage on his own, because it was clear that Tang Wutong had held back earlier; it seemed she didn't want an outsider like him disturbing the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang.

However, Lin Yi actually respected the Grandmaster quite a bit. It didn't matter if a man's strength was great or not; what mattered was whether his heart could remain as it was in the beginning.

With a light sigh, Lin Yi immediately set off with the map.

Given the Grandmaster's desire for a quiet life, Lin Yi headed straight for the Tranquil Valley.

After walking a few hundred meters inside, he caught sight of the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang, drinking tea in the courtyard with two noble women.

"Who goes there?"

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong stood up simultaneously, both of them releasing their Martial Soul True Bodies.

"Seniors, please don't be alarmed. I have no ill intentions. I am Lin Yi, a newcomer brought to the God Realm by Brother San. Please, enlighten me."

"Brought by Little San?"

Yu Xiaogang stepped toward Lin Yi, his expression gentle.

"In that case, did you inherit Tang San's Sea God position?"

"No, I didn't inherit Brother San's position. I inherited the position of the Dragon God!"

"What?"

The three of them froze simultaneously, carefully sizing up the young man before them.

"So, you are the new Dragon God?"

"Yes."

Lin Yi gave an embarrassed smile. "However, I'm only at level 137, and I only have one Soul Ring. As for my abilities, they are actually far from enough. I hope you seniors will forgive my inadequacy."

"Why are you being so humble?"

Bibi Dong snorted, her expression somewhat aloof. "Who could reach the position of a Soul Venerable immediately upon arriving in the God Realm? And although you haven't released your Soul Ring, I suspect that your first Soul Ring is undoubtedly a rare, peerless one!"

"Senior is truly sharp."

Lin Yi nodded toward her and released his Martial Soul.

Watching the Golden Dragon coil behind Lin Yi, even Bibi Dong, who was accustomed to seeing powerful figures, couldn't help but marvel.

"Truly a prodigy rarely seen in hundreds of thousands of years. Your body can actually withstand Holy Dragon Possession? It seems it's no surprise that you were able to inherit the Dragon God's position."

"Then, may I ask, seniors, how can I push the power of my first Soul Ring to its limit?"

"Go train with Di Tian."

The Grandmaster offered his advice to Lin Yi.

"Your ability is indeed extraordinary, and it would be a waste to just cultivate slowly. Therefore, in my opinion, you should go and contend with Di Tian, the strongest among the Soul Beasts. That way, your power might be able to break through."

"Exactly what I was thinking."

Lin Yi smiled faintly and bowed to the three seniors.

"Regardless, I still want to thank you all. I know you want a quiet life, so..."

"Don't!"

Liu Erlong interrupted him directly.

"I've had enough of this quiet life; it's time to go out and walk around. I was just discussing going out with them anyway. Who knew you'd come barging in? But that's fine, I'll go with you to play around at Di Tian's place. Maybe we'll catch a Soul Beast and have a fight!"

"Erlong, don't you dare."

Bibi Dong couldn't help but laugh. "If you make a move, Di Tian will probably hide from you for tens of thousands of years. Even though you spend your days busy flirting with Xiaogang, you are a Titled Douluo after all. How could other Soul Beasts compare to your power?"

"Look who's talking!"

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Aren't you busy flirting yourself? You're fighting with me over Xiaogang every single day!"

"Ahem."

Seeing them start to bicker, Lin Yi hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"I'm asking, the three of you seniors, are you going or not?"

"Of course we're going!"
