Heaven Dou Empire, Fasino Province.
Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy.
In the pitch-black night where one could not see their own hand, a black figure silently vaulted into the academy.
"Rustle, rustle."
The intruder moved with agility and incredible speed, reaching the door of Dorm Seven in no time.
"For an elementary spirit master academy in such a remote little city, even the work-study students' dormitory is surprisingly luxurious. Tsk, tsk."
Chu Men tightened his black bodysuit, quickly double-checked the items in his spirit tool, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed open the door to Dorm Seven.
Kidnapping was a first for him.
Lacking experience and technique, he had to rely on being fast, accurate, and ruthless!
However, empowered by his martial soul, the pitch-black room was as clear as day to him.
He quickly located his target.
On the small bed to the right, a pink figure was curled into a ball, a long scorpion-braid draped across the pillow.
It's you!
Xiao Wu!
The real world, a certain year, a streaming platform.
Stream title: Xiaoyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Famous actress Lin Xiaoyu smiled at the camera: "Now, for the final random call of the night!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the screen split in two.
On the left remained the nation's most popular actress, Lin Xiaoyu, known for her role as Sister Lin.
The screen on the right was pitch black, with a vague human silhouette faintly visible.
The stream's chat flooded with comments:
[What is this, surveillance footage?]
[It's pitch black, no wonder there are no viewers.]
[Feels a bit like a crime scene.]
The stream's brightness automatically adjusted, making the figure in the frame a bit clearer.
Lin Xiaoyu had intended to explain, but seeing the silhouette in the other stream acting with such extreme focus, she subconsciously closed her mouth and stared intently.
Chu Men took a sturdy sack he had prepared from his spirit tool and crept toward the bedside.
Just as he was about to bag her and leave, he was met with Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly snapping open!
What a vigilant little girl!
Fortunately, this young master came prepared!
Chu Men flipped his palm, and his martial soul slid from his sleeve—
Inversion Pen!
The tip of the pen darted out and poked Xiao Wu; the next moment, her status shifted from "awakened" to "unconscious"!
"Heh, dealing with a mere little spirit master is a piece of cake for a Spirit Ancestor like me!"
Chu Men chuckled, spinning the Inversion Pen triumphantly between his fingers.
He grabbed the sack, skillfully bagged her, tied it, and hoisted it onto his shoulder—the entire sequence completed in three seconds!
He glanced at the empty bed next to hers that belonged to Tang San, let out a cold snort, and strode away!
He had scouted the location well; today was the day Tang San went with the Grandmaster to hunt his first spirit ring, and Tang Hao was likely following in the shadows.
This was a dangerous place to linger!
Chu Men carried the sack, following his pre-planned route, dodging and weaving as he sprinted away!
In the stream, Lin Xiaoyu's pupils constricted.
The girl's appearance, the pink dress, the long scorpion-braid, and those iconic rabbit-ear hair accessories!
Her voice trembled with excitement as she narrated: "If I'm not mistaken, that looks like... Xiao Wu?"
The chat exploded instantly:
[Holy crap! Sniper here, it really is Xiao Wu! Douluo Dalu?!]
[Kidnapping Xiao Wu? And streaming the whole damn thing?]
[What kind of variety show is this? This is insane!]
The number of online viewers surged from over four hundred thousand to nearly a million, and the gift notification bar flashed frantically.
The black-clad figure on screen, however, was only concerned with vaulting walls, landing, and fleeing, never once glancing at the camera from start to finish.
After handing a pre-arranged bag of gold soul coins to the city gate guards, Chu Men hurried without pause to a small grove outside the city, only then letting out a slight sigh of relief.
The plan went off without a hitch. I wonder how things are going on Tang San's end.
This was an essential skill for every transmigrator: one must always maintain a good relationship with the Child of the Plane.
Look, hadn't Chu Men just enthusiastically delivered a Spirit Hall elder to Tang San's family?
For a Tang San who hadn't yet fully developed, what a heavy and generous gift this was!
Don't mention it!
That's right; to deal with Tang Hao, Chu Men had tipped off the Spirit Hall in advance.
He had even gone through the channels of Salas, the newly appointed bishop of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.
Besides, the bounty on Tang Hao was worth quite a few gold soul coins!
Chu Men leaned over to open the sack, and a pair of petite white silk-stockinged legs came into view.
Chu Men scratched the black silk mask covering his head, feeling somewhat awkward.
Uh... unprofessional is just unprofessional.
He'd even stuffed the hostage in upside down!
Looking at the delicately carved, jade-like Xiao Wu, Chu Men felt a flicker of compassion. He flipped Xiao Wu over and stuffed her back into the sack.
"There, that's what we call humanitarian concern!"
[My god, the little actress playing Xiao Wu is just too beautiful!]
[This kidnapper actually stuffed her into a sack; he's completely devoid of conscience!]
["Humanitarian concern," my foot! Haha, I'm dying of laughter!]
[Help! This kidnapper brother even knows to flip her over. Is this even a kidnapping? It's more like an actor getting paid to babysit!]
[Such a cute little girl, I'd pay money just to take her!]
Chu Men didn't forget to poke Xiao Wu with the Inversion Pen, temporarily masking the non-human aura radiating from the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit.
His destination, Heaven Dou City, was not comparable to Nuoding City. High-level spirit masters were everywhere there; if he were discovered by a powerhouse at the Spirit Douluo level, he would be in real trouble.
Chu Men nodded with satisfaction.
Just as he hoisted the sack and prepared to continue his escape, a voice, low and hoarse, came from behind him:
"How bold!"
Following the voice came an overwhelming pressure.
A Title Douluo!
No, it was the Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao!
There was no moonlight, and he didn't even need to turn around; Chu Men guessed the identity of the person behind him purely by instinct!
Damn it! This old coffin-nail didn't follow Tang San!
Chu Men cursed inwardly before turning around silently to face the reckless and disheveled old man.
This damn rat, he's choosing money over his life!
Although the hundred-thousand-year spirit beast Xiao Wu is precious, if Tang San doesn't have the tricks of the Tang Sect, he'll likely die at the hands of the Mandala Snake alongside that useless master!
Could Tang Hao have made other arrangements, or had something gone wrong with the Spirit Hall's people?
At this moment, Chu Men had no time to think.
Plans couldn't keep up with changes!
The heavy pressure of the Title Douluo weighed down on every bone and joint in Chu Men's body; even moving an inch required an immense amount of effort.
Chu Men opened his system panel, and sure enough, a "Suppressed" status entry had appeared in his status bar.
The gap in spirit power between us is so vast, I don't know if I can hold out until the Spirit Hall arrives!
Chu Men calculated quickly. With his back to Tang Hao, he quietly poked himself with the Inversion Pen.
It consumed a full thirty percent of his spirit power, but the "Suppressed" entry in his status bar began to invert. After a jelly-like ripple, it changed to "Amplified"!
Not only did his whole body feel light, but his consumed spirit power was also recovering rapidly.
However, Chu Men deliberately feigned the appearance of being suppressed by his opponent. He turned around slowly and asked "strugglingly":
"I wonder, Senior, why have you come here?"
As he spoke, the Inversion Pen in Chu Men's hand flashed with a stream of light, and two yellow and two purple spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
Facing Tang Hao directly was the worst-case scenario in Chu Men's plan, yet he had still prepared a contingency!
Pouring all of his soul power into the Inversion Pen, Chu Men gripped it once more and thrust it violently into his own chest!
Potent Entry: Inversion!
"Suffer damage" was inverted to "Receive buff"!
Based on his experience, the effect should last for a quarter of an hour without any issues.
