"Dean Liu Erlong, have you ever actually taken the Chat Group seriously?"
"Ah!"
At Tang Yuehua's words, Liu Erlong could not help crying out in surprise.
"Y-you're in it too?"
Seeing how slow Liu Erlong was to catch on, Tang Yuehua was already beginning to regret it.
Could this woman really join forces with her?
The Chat Group was undoubtedly a place of opportunities beyond imagination.
A place like that could drive any Soul Master wild.
Yet Liu Erlong had not taken the Chat Group's opportunities seriously at all. First, she had been kicked out, and now that she had entered as a Visitor, she still paid no attention to what happened in the group.
Tang Yuehua could not understand why the Chat Group treated Liu Erlong so differently!
Not only did Tang Yuehua not understand, even Link, the Group Leader, did not understand either.
He had clearly kicked Liu Erlong out. Who could have imagined that she could still enter the group chat as a Visitor? And this had not been Link's doing.
This Chat Group seemed not to be entirely without a consciousness of its own.
Link was not worried about whether the Chat Group would take back everything he currently possessed.
Because there was no need to think about such things.
Without the Chat Group, he was just a weakling who struggled even to cultivate to level ten.
Now, as long as he had enough Soul Rings, he could break through to a level-ninety-nine Peerless Douluo in minutes, or even reach level one hundred and become a god.
So there was no need to overthink it.
When a cheat came along, use it!
If the cheat left, he would live if he could, and die if he could not.
There was no need to worry about the sky falling!
Link knew nothing of Tang Yuehua's conversation with Liu Erlong, though he knew Tang Yuehua was there too. He simply did not pay it much mind.
All he cared about now was how Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were doing with the immortal herbs.
They were still in Dorm Seven!
Link did not even have to say anything before Xiao Wu sent all the other work-study students out.
Two immortal herbs were taken out of the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, one for each of them.
"I'll stand guard for you!"
After explaining how to take the immortal herbs, Link stood watch beside them.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, then swiftly consumed the immortal herbs without hesitation.
Soon, a fragrance began emanating from both of them.
White mist enveloped Xiao Wu, its fragrance growing richer as it swirled.
Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, was enveloped in a layer of golden light. Beneath it, seven-colored light flickered over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and two Soul Rings appeared around her Martial Soul. The rich scent of tulips refreshed the heart and soothed the soul.
Gradually, the hazy white mist surrounding Xiao Wu and the golden light around Ning Rongrong began attracting each other. The two fragrances merged as well, becoming an extraordinary scent that was even more pleasant.
Link sniffed, finding it inexplicably delightful.
"The mandarin duck immortal herbs really do have something to them!"
Finally, as the sun slanted westward, Xiao Wu was the first to awaken.
Her looks had become even more outstanding, and even her figure seemed to have developed a little. Where there had once been only the pointed tips of budding lotuses, she now had little steamed buns tucked against her chest.
Of course, that was not the main point!
The main point was that Xiao Wu now possessed her fourth Soul Ring!
A black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
Her Soul Skill was still Invincible Golden Body.
Unlike in the original story, however, the duration of Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body had increased.
In the original story, it granted three seconds of absolute defense against anything below god level. Now it lasted five seconds!
When masters exchanged blows, a single second could decide the victor!
And now, Xiao Wu's fourth Soul Skill started at five seconds. Incredible!
"Congratulations!"
Link congratulated Xiao Wu solemnly.
Although he could not share the group members' Soul Skills, he still benefited when their strength increased.
"Link, thank you!"
Xiao Wu looked at Link gratefully, stepped forward of her own accord, and hugged him.
At that moment, Xiao Wu still carried the delicate fragrance of the eight-petal immortal orchid. It truly smelled wonderful.
Link repeatedly chanted inwardly, Three years minimum, three years minimum. I'm not a lolicon!
Finally, Ning Rongrong woke up too.
Just as in the original story, her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had become a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Her Soul Power Level had also reached thirty. All she needed was one Soul Ring to become a proper Three-Ring Soul Elder.
"Link, I, I... thank you!"
Compared with Xiao Wu's restraint, Ning Rongrong, the Little Demoness, was much more direct.
Not only did she throw herself into his arms, she even planted a kiss on him.
She, too, carried a fragrance-the delicate scent of aromatic silk beauty.
The two little beauties, already outstanding to begin with, now carried extraordinary fragrances as well, instantly becoming two fragrant princesses.
"Here, Rongrong. Put a drop of blood on this!"
Link swiftly took out the Chat Group Entry Contract.
This time, Ning Rongrong did not even ask what it was. She simply bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the contract.
[Ning Rongrong has joined the Chat Group!]
"What is this?"
Upon seeing the Chat Group, Ning Rongrong turned to Link in shock.
"Don't ask yet. Hurry and change your group name!"
Link spoke seriously.
Through the information imparted by the system, Ning Rongrong had already learned the Chat Group's basic functions.
The first thing she did was change her group display name to: Continent's Number One Support Soul Master!
"You're really afraid people won't know you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, huh!"
Link was rather speechless.
However, remembering that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two Titled Douluos-Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong-holding the fort, and that Ning Rongrong had grown up without knowing what keeping a low profile meant, Link let it go.
After all, the environment someone grew up in had a considerable influence on their personality.
"Rongrong, hurry and sign in! See what rewards you can get!"
Xiao Wu pulled Ning Rongrong aside to whisper to her.
That also gave Link a chance to check the rewards the system had given him.
Talent Sharing and Cultivation Sharing-the basic rewards were both there.
Aside from those, Link had also received a third reward. Just as he had previously guessed, he had gained another Martial Soul: the Nine Treasure Exquisite Pagoda!
His fourth Martial Soul!
Unlike Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which was purely a support Martial Soul, Link's Nine Treasure Exquisite Pagoda was not a support Martial Soul, but a combat Martial Soul.
When someone with a special-type Martial Soul joins the group, it definitely brings an extra reward. In that case, if Bo Saixi, the Sea God's High Priestess, joins, she'll definitely bring an extra reward too!
Aside from that woman who's invincible at sea, what other beauties in the Douluo World currently possess special Martial Souls?
Link naturally thought of Shui Bing'er, whose Martial Soul was the Ice Phoenix.
But Link still could not be certain whether the Ice Phoenix counted as a special Martial Soul.
After all, Link did not have the final say on what qualified as a special Martial Soul.
Xiao Wu and Ah Yin had both undergone Soul Beast Transformation, yet Xiao Wu could only provide the basic rewards, while Ah Yin could provide an extra reward.
So the rules defining special Martial Souls remained open to question.
Still, Link was in no hurry.
As he was now, he did not need so many Martial Souls. Although he would become incredibly powerful once his ever-growing collection of Martial Souls was fully equipped with Soul Rings, that many Soul Rings would not be easy to find.
Most importantly, Soul Rings also needed to be compatible with their Martial Souls.
Does this count as the trouble with getting stronger?
That was what Link thought. What a humblebrag!
