Wealthy Douluo Starting from the Gatekeeper: Xiao Wuji Fuses the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone, While Tang San Starts School in Reality
Someone really had come! Ah Yin, who had been waiting all this time, sensed it as soon as Xiao Wuji stepped inside and listened even more intently.
Xiao Wuji once again became a character in his own story, doubling as editor and actor as he slowly recited the lines he had written.
Ah Yin had no idea how many times she had read Blue Silver Emperor's Revenge. With each rereading, she gained a deeper understanding. Now, hearing someone speak those words aloud, her heart twisted with pain, and hatred surged within her.
Xiao Wuji recited his lines, found the mechanism in the cave, then rose and pressed it. He retrieved the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone from the box.
It was crystalline blue-gold all over, with specks of starlight flickering inside, as if it were alive.
An idea struck Xiao Wuji. He sent two updated chapters to Xiao Wu, then gave Wang Sheng, Xiao Wuji, and the academy gatekeeper a copy of a novel each. Only then did he put on an appropriately excited expression, pressed the Soul Bone against his leg, and began to fuse with it.
As the Soul Bone attached itself, Xiao Wuji felt his right leg tremble slightly. A cool sensation immediately seeped into it from all directions. The crystalline Soul Bone quietly vanished, transforming into countless streams of blue-gold energy.
As the gentle energy rippled through him, the Nine Suns True Qi in Xiao Wuji's body circulated rapidly and absorbed it. Bathed in that energy, his meridians grew tougher and wider, as if he had eaten some heavenly treasure.
"There's finally new content." Sensing the book react, Xiao Wu opened the novel.
The two chapters were neither long nor short, and Xiao Wu finished them quickly. Though there wasn't much content, she had gained a great deal.
So after registering with Spirit Hall, Soul Masters could collect a one-Gold-Soul-Coin allowance every month. And at the academy, there was some fellow named Xiao Chenyu who actually wanted to make her his pet rabbit!
Xiao Wu found a secluded spot in the wilderness and condensed her Soul Ring.
Meanwhile, the three readers of Tiger, Tiger, Roar, I Am Douluo Wang Sheng, Wealthy Douluo Starting from the Gatekeeper, and The Rise of Xiao Chenyu, the Young Lord of Notting, finished reading their novels. Their expressions shifted again and again.
"Blue Silver Grass, Soft Bone Rabbit, and both Innate Full Soul Power. Are the work-study students this year monsters?" Wang Sheng marveled. The book's contents were fantastical, but the idea that he would have extraordinary luck and become a Titled Douluo was certainly appealing.
The gatekeeper saw that, after throwing his weight around, he would catch the eye of 'Xiao Chenyu,' the young lord of the city, and enter the city lord's residence. His status would rise considerably, and he would have another lucky break, becoming a wealthy man. He was so excited he could barely contain himself.
Xiao Chenyu was quite interested in the Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao Wu. This young Soul Master might be able to bear him powerful descendants.
As the saying went, father and sons made a formidable team. With his sons' help, he would go on to rise higher and higher as the young lord.
Amid everyone's daydreams, that day arrived.
Tang San and Old Jack traveled from Holy Soul Village to Nuoding City. After asking around, they arrived at the entrance to Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy.
The gatekeeper had been waiting for them for quite a while. When he saw an old man and a boy dressed in rags, he barked without the slightest courtesy, "What are you doing here? This isn't a place for country bumpkins like you!"
Old Jack's clothes were considered quite respectable back in Holy Soul Village. But in Nuoding City, he looked like a complete country bumpkin. The gatekeeper had always looked down on people like them, and now he even had a divine book to guide him.
After all, money could make gods bow. Once you had money, even deities could be made to do your bidding, and you could see through the past and know the future.
Old Jack had read the book and knew that this arrogant gatekeeper would soon be disciplined by Lord Soul Master. He smiled warmly and said:
"Young man, we've come from Holy Soul Village. This child is our village's work-study student for this year. Could you tell us what formalities we need to take care of?"
The gatekeeper cursed them out. "Holy Soul Village? Looks more like Beggar Village to me. Get lost, get lost!"
Tang San had read his grand ancestor's instructions. Though he knew that his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, would reprimand the gatekeeper, he was still furious.
I'm going to establish the Tang Sect on Douluo Continent. I'll become the sect master of the Tang Sect, renowned throughout the world. How can I endure this humiliation and let the Tang Sect be disgraced?
The Tang Sect Manual... courting death!
Tang San raised his palm and shoved the gatekeeper to the ground, sending him sprawling flat on his back.
Yu Xiaogang had just returned from walking the pigs. At last, today he had finally met the dream pupil he had longed for. He hurriedly recalled his Martial Soul and strode forward. "Stop!"
So it really was Yu Xiaogang. Watching from a distance, Tang Hao recognized him at once by that peculiar Martial Soul that had left his body.
On Douluo Continent, there was only one person with such a peculiar Martial Soul.
Tang Hao was overjoyed. The contents of the book had been astonishingly accurate. There was hope of reviving Ah Yin.
After his elation came a surge of rage. Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, you wicked Soul Beast that devoured Lone Bamboo. I'll make sure you die beneath the Clear Sky Hammer!
The gatekeeper glared at Tang San, seething with rage. He had been prepared for this, yet he still hadn't been a match for the little bastard. Just wait until I get into the city lord's residence. You'll see what happens to you. Young Master Xiao Chenyu will teach you a harsh lesson. And you, Yu Xiaogang—so what if you're impressive? Are you more impressive than the lord of Nuoding City?
Lord Soul Master had arrived. Old Jack beamed with delight. A mere gatekeeper had dared to disrespect the village chief of God Soul Village. He had it coming.
My teacher is here?! Tang San turned to look at Yu Xiaogang. He seemed to be a middle-aged man with a somewhat plump build, and Tang San couldn't see anything special about him.
The three of them stared at Yu Xiaogang, making him feel rather nervous. But his old face had shown little expression for years; his muscles had long since stiffened.
He glanced coldly at the gatekeeper, who still hadn't gotten up, then politely asked Old Jack, "Sir, may I see the Spirit Hall certification?"
At the sight of the words Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang was overcome with excitement. But after imagining this scene countless times, he managed to remain calm.
"The certification is genuine. Sir, on behalf of the academy, I apologize for what happened just now. Leave this child to me." Yu Xiaogang looked Tang San up and down, and a smile appeared on his stiff face.
He saw right through me? Tang San felt Yu Xiaogang's gaze land on him, and its impact was even stronger than what he had felt while reading the book.
Yu Xiaogang affectionately took Tang San's hand and led him into the academy.
After a brief chat, Yu Xiaogang launched into the lines he had memorized until he could recite them backward.
"I once investigated six hundred and forty-seven people whose Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass. Among them, sixteen possessed Soul Power, a rate of less than three percent... That's right, there are exceptions to everything..."
Tang San was amazed as Yu Xiaogang rattled off the details, even asking and answering his own questions. He promptly followed the book's instructions, thumping his head against the ground again and again.
Tang Hao was also dumbfounded. No wonder there was a saying that whoever won the Grandmaster won the world.
