Finding Fun, Pathetic Wretch Absorbs a Ten-Year Soul Ring (Please Urge Updates)

But...

Refusing a Titled Douluo's request to his face, Yu Xiaogang felt that his fate would not be much better...

Maybe the Clear Sky Hammer would come swinging at him the very next second.

Small hammer, forty. Big hammer, eighty.

Yu Xiaogang might not even have enough left for his coffin fund.

Tang Hao also understood Yu Xiaogang's predicament and said, "Don't worry. You only need to teach him some theory."

"Besides, Xiao San has Twin Martial Souls for you to study. As for Blue Silver Grass's first Soul Ring, anything passable will do."

"The advantage of Twin Martial Souls lies mainly in the Clear Sky Hammer. Master should understand that better than anyone, right?"

"Your Excellency Clear Sky, rest assured. I understand that very well."

With Tang Hao having put it that way, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly agreed without hesitation.

A Twin Martial Soul delivered right to his door could not be missed.

Just wait. He, Yu Xiaogang, would definitely prove "his own" Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls to the entire continent!

"Your Excellency Clear Sky, rest assured. I will do everything in my power."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang agree, Tang Hao nodded in satisfaction, then rose and took his leave.

He was quite skilled at getting something for nothing.

With that combination of a big stick and a sweet reward, Tang Hao had thoroughly fooled Yu Xiaogang into losing all sense of direction.

Yu Xiaogang only had a couple of lousy tricks.

If Yu Xiaogang had not possessed the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls and been a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...

Tang Hao would never have thought highly of him in the first place.

Moreover, Tang Hao had appeared in Notting City because he had discovered a second-playthrough surprise.

There was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast within Notting City!

Every Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was an invaluable treasure, because it represented a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, as well as...

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone with a one-hundred-percent drop rate!

That was why Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had always occupied the top spot on the continent's list of rare treasures, with countless soul masters flocking after them.

Tang Hao himself had taken this very path back then.

Find a soul beast partner and wait for her to sacrifice herself.

He had just happened to break through Rank 90, his soul beast wife had just happened to become pregnant, he had just happened to go to a place where multiple Titled Douluo gathered, and he had just happened to provoke his mortal enemy right under their nose.

What exactly had he been trying to do? So hard to guess, huh?

"Xiao San, you will understand your father's painstaking intentions."

Tang Hao comforted himself in his heart, and his mood immediately improved.

A black-and-red Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone—wonderful.

But...

Tang Hao recalled the Recruitment Edicts he had seen in every street and alley on his way here, and his gaze instantly turned cold.

"Hmph. A female Titled Douluo only twenty years old, possessing nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings? An emperor's trick."

"Before my Clear Sky Hammer, it is all fake."

Tang Hao was utterly disdainful as he secretly speculated.

Until he saw it with his own eyes, Tang Hao simply did not believe there could be a Titled Douluo younger than himself.

After all...

Tang Hao had no idea that God Trials even existed.

At this point in time, only Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Qian Renxue knew the inside story across all Douluo Continent.

Yet disbelief was one thing. Tang Hao still decided to look around the area and see how capable Yu Xiaogang really was.

Afterward, Tang Hao casually stole several bottles of fine wine.

What, you said he should pay?

He was Haozi, of course he stole them.

Soon, dawn broke.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly found Tang San. After spending quite some effort showing off his theories, he successfully took him on as a disciple.

The two hit it off immediately and decided to go hunt soul beasts first.

Yu Xiaogang shamelessly went to borrow some money from Notting Academy's dean before finally hiring a carriage.

After traveling four hundred li, the two of them reached their destination only at noon the following day.

Soul Hunting Forest.

After Yu Xiaogang presented a pitch-black token, the captain of the lead guard unit showed respect and immediately allowed them through.

Just as Yu Xiaogang led Tang San into Soul Hunting Forest...

A man and a woman had already been waiting not far behind them.

Seeing this, they quickly followed.

With the concealment of the skill [Mirror Flower, Water Moon], Xu Yuan and Jingliu remained invisible the entire time.

Watching the backs of the two ahead, Jingliu could not help asking curiously.

"Little brother, isn't that man the pig of a soul master you taught a lesson to the day before yesterday?"

"His steps are unsteady, his limbs weak. He is pitifully feeble."

Jingliu could tell at a glance that Yu Xiaogang was only half-competent. She found it strange that such an ant could lead someone on a soul hunt.

"Big sister, Trailblaze and Elation go hand in hand. Wherever there is fun, there is me."

Xu Yuan declared that he was definitely going to fleece them today.

Sit tight. The Hakivili Express was departing.

When she saw Luo Sanpao kill a Netherworld Wolf with a fart, Jingliu's expression became even more disgusted.

"Crude and primitive methods of attack."

"The other one has abnormally strong soul power. He seems to have used body possession and is concealing sharp metal weapons as well."

"Little brother, how do you plan to... find fun?"

Jingliu withdrew her gaze and silently tied a strip of black silk over her eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind.

One more look and she would... trigger a cute little urge to chop someone up.

"Big sister, I'll treat you to a good show."

Xu Yuan briefly explained his plan to Jingliu.

Then, he swept his gaze across the surrounding Ten-Year Soul Beasts.

The next second, he locked onto his target.

A Ten-Year Soft Bone Rabbit. These things were everywhere.

Swap the prince for a civet cat and give Pathetic Wretch a surprise.

Xu Yuan casually knocked out the Soft Bone Rabbit, and the two continued following Yu Xiaogang and Tang San from afar.

It was not until night fell that Yu Xiaogang and Tang San found a place to rest.

At that moment, Jingliu, her eyes covered by black cloth, reminded him.

"Little brother, the snake you mentioned is approaching."

"Big sister, it's time to act."

Xu Yuan activated [Mirror Flower, Water Moon] once more. It had no cooldown; as long as he had enough stamina, he could use it indefinitely.

The two carried the Soft Bone Rabbit and watched the difficult battle. Jingliu deliberately created a layer of icy gauze to block out the stench.

At the center of the battlefield, Yu Xiaogang commanded Luo Sanpao to keep farting while Tang San secretly used his dagger and hidden weapons.

"Hisss~~"

The Four-Hundred-Year Mandala Snake found itself unable to withstand the assault. Moments later, it was defeated and on the verge of death.

In an instant, Xu Yuan used [Mirror Flower, Water Moon], casually killed the Mandala Snake, and tossed it aside.

He then placed the Ten-Year Soft Bone Rabbit in its place and transformed it into a heavily wounded, dying Mandala Snake.

Immerse yourselves in the illusion of the Eternal Mangekyo, Kamui!

He controlled the five senses while bewitching their minds.

Neither Yu Xiaogang nor Tang San noticed the slightest anomaly. Seeing the badly wounded Mandala Snake before them—the Soft Bone Rabbit—they were immediately overjoyed.

With victory in sight, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly urged Tang San to make a move and deliver the final blow.

Tang San did not think much of it. Holding his dagger, he stabbed it straight into the Soft Bone Rabbit's head.

The instant he finished it off, Tang San sensed that something was wrong. The feeling was different from using his sleeve arrow. It was far too fragile.

However, as that yellow Soul Ring rose...

Tang San immediately dismissed all doubts and began absorbing this "Hundred Year Soul Ring" while Yu Xiaogang explained his theoretical knowledge.

His first Soul Ring was in hand!

Tang San had originally thought the process would be difficult, but it went incomparably smoothly, just like absorbing a Ten-Year Soul Ring.

The entire process took no more than two and a half minutes.
