Three days later.

Dugu Lin sat in a tea stall outside Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, sipping tea while glancing from the corner of his eye at a middle-aged man with a crew cut nearby. No way, does this guy look a little like that bastard Yu Xiaogang?

Besides Dugu Lin and one or two passing customers, there was also a middle-aged man lounging in a recliner and basking leisurely in the sun.

This made Dugu Lin think of a question: Was Tang San's meeting with Yu Xiaogang really just a coincidence? Or had Yu Xiaogang planned it all along?

At that moment.

The middle-aged man noticed Dugu Lin's attention. However, he merely glanced at Dugu Lin, sensed no Soul Power fluctuations from him, and withdrew his gaze.

Not long after.

A hunched old man arrived at the entrance of the Junior Soul Master Academy with a short, dark-skinned child.

Dugu Lin naturally noticed the pair approaching. So this is the God King Tang? Sure enough! Before his Blue Silver Grass underwent its second awakening, Tang San really was ugly as hell!

What followed unfolded just like the plot: the gatekeeper got into an argument with Tang San and Old Jack.

The words "Innate Full Soul Power" and "Blue Silver Grass" drifted over to the tea stall.

At the same time, the middle-aged man Dugu Lin had been watching instantly became agitated. He stood up and walked step by step toward the academy entrance!

Dugu Lin was astonished. It really is Yu Xiaogang! He really had been waiting outside the academy all this time! I knew it—how could there be so many coincidences in this world? What "just happened to meet him"? Complete bullshit! It was all premeditated!

As he continued watching the scenes unfolding at the academy entrance, Dugu Lin cried out inwardly, Holy shit! This bastard really wanted to kill that gatekeeper! So it really was "one wrong word and you deserve death"!

By then, Tang San had already activated his sleeve arrow and aimed it at the gatekeeper, leaving Dugu Lin thoroughly amazed. What a guy!

Dugu Lin drank his tea and thought, Next, Yu Xiaogang will step in and spout a bunch of nonsense: my theory is invincible! Then Tang San will immediately bow his head and become his disciple!

Things did indeed unfold just as they had in the original work.

Before Tang San could shoot the gatekeeper, Yu Xiaogang scolded him. The gatekeeper nodded and bowed, giving Yu Xiaogang plenty of face.

Because of this, Tang San formed an initial impression of Yu Xiaogang: he was a very formidable person!

Watching Yu Xiaogang, who had successfully shown off, shamelessly lead Tang San into the academy, Dugu Lin sighed inwardly. Sigh... I won't get to see that famous scene. What a pity.

Yu Xiaogang was not actually brainless. When revealing Tang San's secret of having Twin Martial Souls, he would certainly find a secluded place to speak with Tang San alone.

Just as Dugu Lin was feeling regretful, a child ran over and said, "Are you Ling Lingqi? An old man told me to tell you to go outside the city."

"Thanks!"

After hearing this, Dugu Lin stuffed a Gold Soul Coin into the child's hand and immediately strode toward the city outskirts!

Ling Lingqi was the code phrase he and Dugu Bo had agreed upon. One of them guarded the city gate while the other watched the academy entrance. Once they caught Xiao Wu, they would simply find a little beggar to notify the other!

He hurried to a small courtyard they had agreed upon outside the city.

"Grandpa?" Dugu Lin called softly.

Creak~

Dugu Bo pushed open a wooden door only enough to reveal a narrow crack. He poked his head out and looked left and right, acting extremely furtive as he said, "Lin'er, get in here!"

Upon entering the house, Dugu Lin saw Xiao Wu, her hair braided into a scorpion tail, unconscious atop a pile of straw.

Thump~ Thump~ Thump~

Dugu Lin's heart pounded wildly as he lowered his voice and exclaimed, "It's her! The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Boned Charming Rabbit!"

Beside him, Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed into smiling slits. He was naturally certain of Xiao Wu's identity and laughed. "I guarded the city gate in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, and she really did wait herself right into my hands! Two years ago, I missed Oscar. Now, heaven has finally rewarded my efforts! Hahaha~~"

Dugu Lin suppressed his racing heart and said, "Grandpa, now we'll see whether she's willing to sacrifice herself!"

He was rather tempted by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his fourth ring!

Although the Soft Boned Charming Rabbit's Soul Power attributes were completely incompatible with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent and could not help it evolve, the Soft Boned Charming Rabbit's soul skills were truly excellent!

Void and Explosive Eight-Stage Throw.

Void was a physical immunity skill. It went well with anything, and was even more suitable for an External Spirit!

And then there was Explosive Eight-Stage Throw. Although it was somewhat trashy, one had to remember that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent was a snake! A snake's flexibility paired with a grappling technique like Explosive Eight-Stage Throw could not be more fitting!

However, different Soul Masters obtained different soul skills from the same Soul Ring. After Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, what kind of soul skill he would receive was still uncertain.

Besides.

No Soul Master could possibly absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as their fourth, fifth, or sixth ring. Even with the aid of an External Spirit, Dugu Lin did not have absolute confidence!

If he missed the sacrifice of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Dugu Lin could only wait until his seventh ring to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

To gamble on the possibility that Xiao Wu would sacrifice herself, Dugu Lin had not even used the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew yet.

"Grandpa, set up Soul Power isolation first, then wake her up."

"Mm."

Dugu Bo had long since set up the Soul Power isolation. Now, he merely took out a porcelain bottle and held it beneath Xiao Wu's nose for her to inhale. Xiao Wu then woke up.

Xiao Wu slowly came to. Seeing Dugu Bo and Dugu Lin, she cried out, "You... who are you? Where is this?"

Dugu Lin smiled. "Don't be afraid. We're not bad people... ah, pfft! We're good people!"

Xiao Wu: "..."

Xiao Wu's face was full of disbelief, but Dugu Lin did not care and continued, "Let me introduce you. This is my grandfather, Dugu Bo. He is a Title Douluo with ninety-fifth-level Soul Power!"

"What? A... a Title Douluo?"

Xiao Wu's heartbeat instantly accelerated. In that moment, she realized that her true identity had most likely been exposed!

At that moment, Dugu Bo released nine Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—then said carefully, "You don't need to be afraid. As long as you obediently sacrifice yourself to my grandson, I won't do anything to you!"

The last shred of hope in Xiao Wu's heart died.

The younger one in front of her had smiled and said he was not a good person. The older one had used the gentlest tone possible to tell her to sacrifice herself.

What kind of cheerful big brother and kindly old grandfather would say such things?!

What fucking way out was there for her now?

Xiao Wu's heart turned ice-cold, and tears began threatening to spill from the corners of her eyes.

She had only just left the Star Dou Great Forest. She had only just enjoyed two days of human life. How had she run into these two fiends?

Xiao Wu missed her mother, Da Ming, and Er Ming. She also regretted ever leaving the Star Dou Great Forest!

Before she had left the Star Dou Great Forest, her two good brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming, had clearly tried to persuade her not to go. They had even said the human world was terrifying... Why had she not believed them?

Now look what had happened. It was only her second day here, and human Soul Masters were already going to kill her and take her bones!

Why was the human world so terrifying?!

The more Xiao Wu thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Tears gradually gathered in her eyes, on the verge of falling.

Seeing this, Dugu Lin said with a smile, "Don't cry. You're already an old rabbit that's lived for a hundred thousand years, so can we stop pretending to be children? Let's talk about some adult matters, okay?"
