Xiaogang's Scheme

In a small town southwest of "Kelo City".

Xiao Yan stepped out from behind several guards and came to Yu Xiaogang, who was forced to bend over by two guards.

"I heard that you've been inquiring about the name ' Ling Yi ' for the past two weeks or so?"

Xiao Yan looked down at Yu Xiaogang, whose eyes were darting around. After breaking through to the Soul Elder, Yu Xiaogang's height and physique had increased again. Even if he did nothing, just standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression.

"..."

Yu Xiaogang remained silent, only tilting his head and looking around at the ground.

It's hardened; its fists have hardened.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's non-violent and uncooperative attitude, given Xiao Yan's previous fiery temper, he would definitely have swung his hardened iron fist and given Yu Xiaogang a full-body massage.

However, as he broke through to the Soul Elder and his position in the border army was promoted, he came into contact with many people and things. He gained a deeper understanding of some of the things Ling Yi had said to him. Therefore, Xiao Yan, who was once easily impulsive, became more mature.

"Beat!"

Xiao Yan casually waved his hand, signaling his personal guards to take action and teach this silent brute a lesson in physics.

Well, by now, he only had a slight understanding of Ling Yi's statement. "As a leader, it is good to take the lead, but if you always strive to be the first, your subordinates will have no chance to perform."

But this simple statement has allowed Xiao Yan to do quite well in the current border army, where he is well-liked everywhere he goes, and his soldiers are extremely supportive of him.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to be greeted warmly by a group of muscular men of varying heights and builds, a tall man wearing silver-gray leather armor and a gray-black cloak was watching coldly from the third floor of a restaurant dozens of meters away.

Yu Yi, Martial Soul "One-Horned Electric Python", is a level 53 Power Attack System Battle Soul King and a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His mother is a daughter from a collateral branch of the Yu Family.

At the same time, he was personally ordered by the second-in -Yu Luomian, to serve as the secret bodyguard of Yu Xiaogang Yu Yuanzhen.

To be honest, Yu Yi's first reaction to protecting Yu Xiaogang, the notorious good-for-nothing of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was resistance.

However, looking into the majestic eyes of the second-in -Yu Luomian, and thinking of the clan leader Yu Yuanzhen, who had already become Titled Douluo, Yu Yi, who was only from a collateral branch, could not hesitate for a moment and immediately expressed his willingness to protect the safety of young master Yu Xiaogang.

However, protection is one thing, but as long as people don't die, what's wrong with getting a little injured?

Yu Yi also see that Xiao Yan's group of soldiers were not just thugs; their words and actions showed discipline and discipline, indicating that they were an elite force.

Since the Soul Elder Captain said to fight, the guards naturally wouldn't kill him. At most, they might break a few bones, which was no big deal in the Douluo Continent, which had Healing System Soul Master!

If we could teach Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, a lesson and make him realize the dangers of the outside world, thus making him obediently return to the Jade Dragon Mountain Range, that would be wonderful...

"Bang--!"

"Ugh—!" *N

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out, followed by a cry of pain. However, the one who was injured was not Yu Xiaogang, who had just been pinned down.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang standing upright, and the two Yellow Soul Ring under his feet, Xiao Yan had an expression that said, "Just as I expected."

"Soul Master." Xiao Yan stared at Yu Xiaogang with his tiger-like eyes and said calmly, "Grand Soul Master with two Hundred-Year Soul Ring, why not stop pretending?"

"I wasn't pretending..." Yu Xiaogang said coldly, his neck stiff, suppressing his anger.

"Not pretending?" A cold smile appeared on Xiao Yan's resolute face. "With your strength as Grand Soul Master, you were just captured by my brothers who aren't Soul Master. Now you're saying you weren't pretending?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the guards who were getting up. This one was clearly a greenhorn, and he had just held back.

Since that's the case.

"Speak," Xiao Yan waved to his guards, signaling them not to be too wary, while he activated his Soul Power, revealing three Soul Ring —one white, one yellow, and one purple—below his feet. "What exactly is your purpose in deliberately luring us out?"

Yu Xiaogang: "Huh?!"

Originally wary of the purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring beneath Xiao Yan, upon hearing this, his expression suddenly changed, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"At first, I was just guessing. After all, with your strength as Grand Soul Master, even if you're Support System, you shouldn't be so easily captured once you reveal two Hundred-Year Soul Ring... But looking at your expression now, it seems I was pretty much right—"

Xiao Yan stroked his unshaven chin, imitating the Brother Yi from his memory, but it looked somewhat out of place with his over two-meter-tall, burly physique.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected that his plan would be so easily seen through, especially by a Soul Elder who seemed to admire martial prowess.

More than half a month ago, in that restaurant, Yu Xiaogang accidentally learned about Ling Yi, a person he had met once before. At first, he only listened to it out of curiosity.

But in the end, when he suddenly heard that Ling Yi's Innate Soul Power was actually at the same level as his own, Yu Xiaogang was incredulous.

Both possessing half-level Innate Soul Power, yet Ling Yi, who appears to be only a few years older than him, broke through to the Soul Elder two years ago?!

This was something that Yu Xiaogang, who was still at level 23, found hard to accept.

He enjoys all the resources of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and cultivates desperately. Even so, at eighteen years old, he is only at level twenty-three. How did Ling Yi, who is at most around twenty years old, cultivate to the level of Soul Elder?!

A direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect?

No, the other person's surname is "Ling", not "Tang".

The Spirit Hall... no, even the illegitimate son of the former Pope Clement couldn't have done that!

Yu Xiaogang is absolutely certain of this!

No one understands better than him the various hardships and difficulties a Soul Master with half a level of Innate Soul Power must face during cultivation!

No matter how good the external conditions are, they cannot change the inherent defects of Soul Master. Even if Ling Yi were given the flesh of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the final result would not be a faster cultivation speed. On the contrary, it is more likely that the excessive energy would burst the Soul Power channels in his body, or damage his digestive organs such as his stomach.

Out of curiosity about Ling Yi, Yu Xiaogang began to inquire about Ling Yi in various towns along the border.

Because Ling Yi had never concealed his information, and because the Heaven Dou Border Army had not ordered a news blackout regarding Ling Yi, Yu Xiaogang initially obtained quite a bit of information about Ling Yi from some merchants who provided various resources to the Border Army.

However, these merchants basically only obtained some scattered information from the soldiers, which was very likely to have been artistically embellished.

This means that if Yu Xiaogang wants to obtain real information about Ling Yi, the only way is through those in the Heaven Dou Border Army who have had interactions with Ling Yi.

Therefore, having made up his mind, Yu Xiaogang changed his originally relatively subtle probing into an open and aboveboard inquiry.

The purpose was to draw out those in the Heaven Dou Border Army who would pay attention to this matter.

Those who pay attention to him are generally people who care about Ling Yi. Whether that concern is friendly or malicious, Yu Xiaogang believes he will get what he wants.

But are all the generals in the Heaven Dou Border Army so intelligent?

How did they discover my scheme so quickly?
