A Bet with Liu Erlong!

"A genius like Xiao Wu, who possesses innate full soul power, can learn about soul tools, but personal cultivation remains the most important thing!"

Liu Erlong looked at Xiao Wu, who was skillfully hiding behind her; this was the target she truly needed to persuade.

Chu Men squatted on the ground, having found a twig from somewhere, and began drawing circles in the dirt.

Of course he knew the importance of soul power levels!

If it weren't for his special martial soul, the Inversion Pen, which could turn damage into buffs, he never could have become a Soul Ancestor in just three months!

But he came from another world and had witnessed the power of tools!

Do commoner soul masters deserve to be bullied just because they lack talent?

Soul tools could allow ordinary soul masters to possess the strength to contend with powerful ones, and the constant iteration of soul power batteries was on the verge of eliminating the very prerequisite of being a "soul master" altogether!

This was true fairness!

"It's not that I don't want her to cultivate soul power!" Chu Men looked up, meeting Liu Erlong's eyes with extreme seriousness. "I want to give her an extra choice, an extra means of protection!"

[Well said! Having an extra choice is never wrong!]

[Not bad, this is the true meaning of "there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters!"]

[Sister Erlong has an elite mindset, while Chu Men has a commoner's mindset.]

[Logically speaking, Chu Men is right, but this is the Douluo Continent! A Titled Douluo talking about fairness with a Great Soul Master? Isn't that a joke?]

[I agree with Liu Erlong, only power is the truth!]

[Whoa, even foreigners are here? I thought you guys believed in technology more?]

"Same old rules: let's fight, and whoever wins gets their way!"

Liu Erlong clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking audibly!

Chu Men eyed her fair "Cognition Correction Fist" and decisively waved his hand in refusal. "Don't mess around, we already fought this morning!"

[Hahaha, the streamer is a coward!] ×999

[Creepy Uncle: I just don't want to bully a girl, what do you guys know!]

"Then it's my way!"

Liu Erlong said as if it were only natural.

"No! Absolutely not!"

After Chu Men sternly refused, he held up three fingers. "Let's make a bet! Three months. Xiao Wu will cultivate soul power with you in the morning and learn soul tools with me in the afternoon. After three months, let her choose for herself!"

Slow things down to find a solution.

Chu Men wondered if he should use his livestream points to get some high-damage weapons from the real world?

Give this mother tyrannosaurus a taste of human technological shock!

But he dismissed the thought; he wouldn't even know how to operate that high-tech gear anyway!

He made a mental note of it for later.

"And the stakes?" Liu Erlong raised an eyebrow!

"If I lose, I'll be at your beck and call for a month! If you say east, I won't go west; if you say chase the dog, I won't chase the chicken!"

Changing his tone, Chu Men smirked. "But if you lose... it's not hard. Just be my human mannequin in private for a month!"

"A human mannequin?"

"Basically a clothes hanger."

Chu Men explained with a straight face, "I've recently designed some general-purpose soul tool armor. It would be a waste not to use a figure as good as yours."

Liu Erlong's brows shot up, and just as she was about to explode, she saw that infuriating expression on Chu Men's face that screamed, "You're only refusing because you're scared."

In this life, she was most susceptible to being goaded!

Besides, it was just being a clothes hanger, not like she was actually doing anything.

Liu Erlong gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely:

"Deal!"

The youth and the queen slapped their hands together, an evil alliance was declared, and the little white rabbit off to the side trembled in fear.

[Xiao Wu's thoughts: The creepy uncle and the big sister have actually declared a truce, so...]

[Sister Xiao Wu's heart is completely calm right now!]

[Studying is still important; one must endure the bitterness of bitterness to become the rabbit of rabbits.]

Chu Men scooped Xiao Wu up and hoisted her onto his shoulder, spinning around triumphantly against the cool breeze.

Turning back to Liu Erlong, he said, "It's afternoon now, so according to our agreement, I'm taking Xiao Wu!"

"Fine, but if I catch you bullying her again... hmph hmph!"

Liu Erlong gave Xiao Wu a reassuring look, followed by a stern warning to Chu Men!

"Relax, you won't see that... I won't bully her! I just want her to experience the power of soul tools!"

"That had better be the case!"

As Truman slipped away as if he had greased his soles, Liu Erlong watched the two, who looked just like siblings, walk further and further away.

After a long while, she couldn't help but smile. "This guy."

On the way back.

Xiao Wu rode on his shoulders, biting into a newly purchased osmanthus cake, and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Weird Uncle, I choose both, okay?"

"Deal!"

Sharpening the axe doesn't delay the work of cutting wood!

What would be the point of just burying one's head in closed-door cultivation?

Repairing and crafting soul guidance devices also meant utilizing soul power; it not only stimulated soul power growth but also greatly improved one's control over it.

After all, repairing soul guidance devices was delicate work!

"Here, this is a gift for you—a White Rabbit Bracelet. Do you like it?"

"Hmm, it's pretty, but isn't it a bit too big?"

Truman looked at Xiao Wu's slender arm and was speechless for a moment. With a roll of his eyes, he deftly fastened it around her ankle.

"It's actually an anklet; I misspoke earlier. By the way, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

[They were just acting like loving siblings, so why does this feel like a dad taking his daughter out now?]

[I just took my daughter shopping, and I feel the same way!]

[To hell with "it's actually an anklet," hahahaha!]

Truman took Xiao Wu through the food street, subjecting her to a barrage of "sugar-coated shells." Once the little rabbit was full, her energy was even higher!

She was bouncing and hopping, unable to stay still for a second!

"Even if this Weird Uncle isn't a good person, he doesn't seem like a bad one either!"

Xiao Wu touched the necklace at her throat and looked at Truman's imposing attire and handsome face, gradually letting down her guard.

By the time Truman and Xiao Wu returned to the Star Soul Guidance Shop, it was nearly dusk.

The red clouds on the horizon were exceptionally brilliant, stretching their shadows long and creating a heartwarming scene.

Some were happy, while others were worried.

At this moment, three messengers dressed in Spirit Hall attire arrived in a flurry at the Spirit Saint Hall in Heaven Dou City.

Their clothes were torn in many places, the edges soaked with blood, and even the hands holding their tokens were trembling.

"Report to the Bishop: Tang Hao has appeared and destroyed a total of seventeen Spirit Hall branches across the Fasino Province and the Northland Province!"

The teacup in Salas's hand clattered to the floor, and he didn't even notice the scalding tea splashing onto his body.

He stood up abruptly, his face deathly pale, his voice trembling. "What? Seventeen? Immediately pass on my order: notify Spirit City and assemble all the Saint Hall warriors within Heaven Dou City! Quickly!!"

The watch hands pointed to 7:50 PM.

This was his first formal interaction with the real world. Under the illumination of the soul guidance devices, the workshop was as bright as day.

Although the real world on the other side of the livestream was not Truman's original world, seeing the modern slang and various internet memes in the chat still gave him the illusion that he hadn't transmigrated at all.

Truman sat upright and began the connection with Lin Xiaoyu!

The small window of the livestream room was like a kite string, with one end connected to Truman in the Douluo World, and the other held firmly in the hands of Miss Lin at this very moment.

"The Truman Show" was a 24-hour livestream. There were no cameras or microphones, only the system's invisible lens, faithfully recording his every move!

Punctuality didn't really matter, but Truman sitting here was more of a ritual.

Xiao Wu had snuck in quietly, looking curiously at the super-bright lighting soul guidance devices around the room, her gaze eventually settling on Truman.

She saw Truman staring blankly at a large toy called a "globe," muttering to himself.

Truman had told her he was talking to a friend far away and asked her not to disturb him.

He had also given Xiao Wu a box of toys to keep her occupied.

Truman still noticed Xiao Wu entering and was about to speak, but he was stopped by the screen full of chat messages.

[Hello, Sister Xiao Wu!] ×999

[Sister Xiao Wu is still the best-looking!]

[Nonsense, my Truman is also very handsome, okay!]

[I've been watching the whole time, I'm already sick of it!]

[What do you think the streamer will tell us this time? A personal experience in the Douluo World?]

The number of online viewers in "The Truman Show" livestream room had exceeded five million for the first time, surpassing "Xiaoyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion"!

The little white rabbit was quite popular after all!

Truman smiled at her and pointed to an empty space on the other side. "You go play by yourself for a bit."

Seeing that the time had arrived, Truman didn't waste any more words and opened with a bang:

"Ahem, this is the streamer's first time communicating directly with everyone, so... let's start with some giveaways!

"I will randomly select three lucky viewers to receive three soul guidance device pendants!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the chat in the livestream room exploded, and gift effects covered almost the entire screen.
