Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

"Xiaogang is missing?"

Yu Luomian asked with surprise.

"Hmph, it's better for that stinking brat to roll as far away as possible. A piece of rotten mud that can't be plastered on a wall. This old one worked so hard and gave him so many resources, and he f*cking only piled up to level 29. That waste."

"First, he caused a whole mess of trouble, then he harmed Erlong. He hasn't been back for long, doesn't even dare to see my face, and he f*cking ran away again. Talking about some long journey, he's just afraid of Erlong finding him and the clan elders laughing at him."

Yu Yuanzhen's angry voice echoed in the room, his tone full of disappointment and anger towards Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Luomian shook his head. He didn't really care. The farther Yu Xiaogang was from Heaven Dou, the better, to save him the trouble of coming to harm his daughter, even if she was illegitimate.

"Forget it. No need to bother with him. If he dies outside, it has nothing to do with me."

Yu Yuanzhen snorted.

"How is that Tang San now? Has he had any thoughts of leaving because of Yu Xiaogang's departure? How is Ruyan's side progressing?"

Yu Luomian laughed, no longer thinking about the matter of Yu Xiaogang leaving, and quickly put it out of his mind.

"There's no movement on Tang San's side. It seems Yu Xiaogang's departure has had no effect on him at all. On the contrary, there are some problems on Flender's side. He's somewhat annoyed by Yu Xiaogang's departure."

"But because we haven't deprived their academy of its autonomy and have also provided free venues and resources, they haven't left. I met him before. From the looks of him, he seems to be going to find Erlong."

Yu Yuanzhen was silent for a moment. "Erlong... ah, her martial soul mutated, so she's not considered a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but in fact, her martial soul's strength is still there. These years, she's already a Soul Sage. You see what the situation is. If you can pull her back, then pull her back. We're lacking strength right now."

"That academy of hers, let her manage it however she wants."

Yu Luomian let out a bitter laugh. "She is unwilling. The matter of her mother..."

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. Truly, every family has its own difficulties.

"Forget it. You see what to do. That Flender seems to like your family's Erlong. It's not impossible to observe him for a bit. Erlong has also reached that age. There's no need to keep waiting for that waste. It would also be good if her Fire Dragon martial soul could be kept."

Yu Luomian frowned. That Flender's character was alright, but that awl-like face of his...

"I'll see. Ruyan's side is progressing quite well. I heard that not long ago, Tang San could already accept her intimate contact and even agreed to add a bed in his room to be roommates."

"Oh?" Yu Yuanzhen's eyebrow raised, somewhat surprised by Yu Ruyan's rapid progress. "So fast?"

Is this the love of young people? Love rises with the wind.

Yu Luomian smiled and shook his head. "It's that Ruyan is too skilled."

Tang San sat cross-legged on the roof. As the last trace of purple qi dissipated, he stopped his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eyes.

He frowned. "No, this cultivation is too slow. The immortal herb, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, is a must..."

But he had also learned by now that Dugu Bo's whole family had been subdued by Spirit Hall. Although the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well couldn't be moved, there must be people from Spirit Hall guarding it.

But it was impossible for a Titled Douluo to be there. That old fellow Yu Yuanzhen should be able to agree to go on a trip with him. Things like poison barriers were not an issue. He could easily make an antidote himself.

He could only hope that Spirit Hall had not yet discovered the immortal herbs there. Even if they had, the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew must be left behind...

However, Xiao Feng had long since picked the recognized immortal herbs, leaving the roots; later, Gu Yuena had even more so given the top-grade and the remaining immortal herbs to Xiao Feng all together.

If Tang San were to go now, all he would see would be the roots and middle-to-low-grade herbs.

"Third Brother! News has come from First Uncle's side!"

Yu Ruyan's face was full of smiles as she waved at Tang San from below. "Come down quickly! There's good news!"

Seeing the visitor, the corner of Tang San's mouth hooked up. His figure stretched, and he leaped lightly from the roof, landing steadily beside Yu Ruyan. "What good news?" A trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.

"Wait a moment," Yu Ruyan sighed. "Third Brother, you're always climbing on the eaves. Your clothes are all dirty. Let me pat the dust off for you first." As she spoke, Yu Ruyan stretched out her slender jade-like hands and gently patted the dust from the corner of Tang San's clothes, her movements delicate and gentle.

Tang San smiled faintly, feeling the care from Yu Ruyan, a warm current surging in his heart. "Alright, Ruyan. Now you can tell me what the good news is, right?"

Yu Ruyan nodded. "Third Brother, First Uncle said that the Clear Sky Sect is about to officially return. Next week, he will take you to Spirit Hall to condense your Soul Veins."

Hearing this, a flash of pleasant surprise appeared in Tang San's eyes. He had been coveting Xiao Feng's Soul Veins for a long time. If the effect was really as the rumors said, then it would be simply heaven-defying.

If he had the 100% cultivation speed bonus from the five Soul Veins, plus the sudden increase brought by the devouring ability of the Dark Blue Silver Grass, for him, the speed of his cultivation progress would be no different from sitting on a rocket.

And also, Spirit Hall... he could see Xiao Wu and see what she was doing now.

She must be doing a good job as an "undercover agent," right? Quietly waiting for her cultivation to reach Titled Douluo, and then destroying Spirit Hall in one fell swoop!

Yu Ruyan looked at Tang San with envy. "Third Brother, I know that the qualification to condense a Soul Vein is very difficult to come by. Now on the entire continent, besides Spirit Hall, only a few people have it, and they are all leaders of the younger generation."

"I heard that the Soul Veins are all condensed with the help of that Holy Son Xiao Feng. He is the most amazing martial soul theory master of today. After the Soul Veins are condensed, one can even receive a month of his guidance within Spirit Hall."

Tang San looked at Yu Ruyan's somewhat infatuated appearance and frowned, an inexplicable sense of jealousy welling up in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed by him.

If it were the Tang San from Douluo V, hearing Xiao Wu praise others in front of him, he would probably have already gone to find trouble with the other party.

He chuckled lightly and deliberately teased, "Oh? That Holy Son Xiao Feng actually has such ability? It seems that on this trip to Spirit Hall, not only will I have to condense my Soul Veins, but I will also have to have a good meeting with this legendary master."

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's cheeks turned slightly red. She looked at Tang San with annoyance. "Third Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I was just envious that you could get such an opportunity. I didn't say anything else."

Yu Ruyan pouted. "I was just saying that this trip to Spirit Hall can help you grow better."

Tang San forced a smile. "Don't worry, Ruyan. If it's a comparison of martial soul theory, I am not inferior. That one month of guidance from Xiao Feng, I might not even need to listen. Have you forgotten who my teacher is? His theory can't compare to mine either."

"Wow~~"

Yu Ruyan's eyes were bright, as if she had discovered a new continent. She crossed her fingers and said with a look of worship, "That's right, that's right! Third Brother, your teacher is Uncle Yu Xiaogang! His unique martial soul theory has earned him the title of Grandmaster!"

"I believe in you! You will surely be able to learn more from this trip to Spirit Hall, and even surpass that Holy Son Xiao Feng!"

She praised, but a trace of disdain flashed in the depths of her eyes. So he's an arrogant, clueless fellow. After this old lady has eaten you, let's see how I'll handle you.

What cultivation do you have, what theoretical wisdom, that you can compare with the publicly acknowledged teacher of all soul masters in the soul master world, Holy Son Xiao Feng? What worldly wisdom you have!

Someone gives you free guidance, and you're still being picky. Pah!

Tang San smiled and nodded, very pleased with Yu Ruyan's praise.

Yu Ruyan continued, "Third Brother, I also heard that because this happens to be the second year, the previous batch of Soul Vein condensers will also be going. Holy Son Xiao Feng has arranged a test. He said that the first place can get an unexpected reward."

"The Sect Master has asked if it was a soul bone. That Xiao Feng said it will only be better than an ordinary soul bone."

"A test?"

Tang San said with surprise.

"Yes, yes! He said they will choose a location and have the Soul Vein condensers go there for a trial. The final winner will get his reward."

Better than an ordinary soul bone? An external soul bone?!

A wisp of sharp light flashed in Tang San's eyes.

Yu Ruyan looked at Tang San weakly. "It's just that I can't accompany you, Third Brother. My status isn't enough..."

Tang San frowned, pulled Yu Ruyan into his arms, patted her beautiful hair, and comforted, "Don't worry. I will go and talk to the Sect Master. I'll have you accompany me and personally witness me winning the championship."

"Alright..."

A trace of pleasant surprise flashed in Yu Ruyan's eyes, which then turned to gentleness. She said softly, "Third Brother, I believe in you. No matter where you are, you are the best!"
