Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 41: Talk to Wang Dong
The next day, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong went to class as usual. When the morning class ended, Tang Wulin found an unexpected figure at the door of the classroom.

"Wang Dong, why are you here?"

Yes, the person standing at the classroom door and looking inside was his former good roommate Wang Dong.

When Wang Dong saw Tang Wulin, he was obviously relieved at first, but then quickly became furious.

"Tang Wulin, where have you been? Why didn't you go back to the dormitory? I thought you were assassinated again!"

"Forehead……"

Tang Wulin was suddenly speechless.

Two days ago, when he made up his mind to leave the college, he did not explain the situation to Wang Dong for fear of alerting the enemy.

Wang Dong is different from him and Huo Yutong. Wang Dong is the eldest son of a wealthy family and has his own concerns. It is definitely impossible for him to just leave like them.

Then yesterday, I was thinking about what Wang Yan said about the Qi, Blood and Soul Ring, so I forgot about it as I had planned to say hello.

Now that he saw Wang Dong, he remembered that this guy was still completely kept in the dark.

Just when Tang Wulin was looking at the angry Wang Dong, not knowing how to answer, Huo Yutong came to the rescue.

"Wang Dong, do you have anything to do with Wu Lin?"

When facing Huo Yutong, Wang Dong's attitude became much more restrained.

"Well, this guy didn't come back to the dormitory yesterday. I was so worried, so I came to your class to check on the situation."

"Oh, this." Huo Yutong said calmly: "Remember the golden soul ring that appeared on Wu Lin's body when we were assassinated? His soul ring was seen at that time. An elder in the academy took a fancy to his talent and let Wu Lin live with him. He has been studying the magical effects of the golden soul ring with him these two days."

"This, this is it."

Wang Dong had nothing to say.

Tang Wulin was stunned as he watched from the side.

Huo Yutong's words were actually quite clever. They cleverly concealed the original plan of skipping school and explained Tang Wulin's current situation, instantly dispelling Wang Dong's anger.

Jiu Zhenyi concealed these words, and she said them very naturally, with no sign of anything unusual from her expression. If Tang Wulin didn't know the truth, he would have been easily fooled by her.

In the past few days, he had always seen the weak Huo Yutong and never thought that she had such a side.

What Tang Wulin didn’t know was that this was actually Huo Yutong’s normal state.

The reason why she acted so weak in front of him was because he knew her softest part and he was a special person to her.

When facing someone she is not very familiar with like Wang Dong, she would naturally put on a mask to protect herself. This was the result of her many years of hard life, making her much calmer than most of her peers.

Wang Dong thought about it and still felt a little angry.

He snorted in displeasure.

"Humph, Wulin, come and fight me if you're brave enough. I want to see what kind of thing can make you so obsessed that you can't even spare the time to explain the situation to me in a day."

"Are you sure? I'm very strong now."

Tang Wulin looked at him in surprise.

Wang Dong gave a proud smile.

"Of course. You haven't seen me fight much, so you may not know that I am very strong."

"I know that."

Tang Wulin saw Wang Dong’s spirit ring combination during the assassination incident two nights ago.

The combination of one yellow and one purple soul ring is obviously not something that ordinary people can have. This guy is definitely much stronger than he looks.

But Tang Wulin was not afraid of him.

"Okay then, let's go to the fighting spirit area. Can you pay?"

It just so happened that he was very curious about the extent of his own strength and was looking for a soul master of the same level to compete with him. Wang Dong was just serving him a pillow because he was sleepy.

"no problem."

Wang Dong didn't need this little money, so he agreed immediately. The two of them set out to go to the Soul Fighting Zone, while Huo Yutong wanted to take advantage of the lunch break to go to the Soul Guidance Department to learn about soul guides, so she didn't want to join them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huo Yutong left their sight, Wang Dong approached Tang Wulin with a teasing look on his face.

"Hey, Wulin, how far have you and this little girl progressed?"

Tang Wulin choked and looked at him helplessly.

"Can you please stop thinking so dirty? She and I are innocent and we have no special relationship."

"Hey, stop it." Wang Dong had a wicked smile on his face. "You don't understand women. From what I observed, the way she looked at you just now was obviously different from the way she looked at others. She must be very fond of you now. If you go up to her and confess your feelings now, she will definitely agree. You are only one step away from victory."

Tang Wulin asked back unhappily:

"What are you talking about? I don't understand women, but you do understand them very well?"

"!" Wang Dong was startled. He looked away guiltily, "Ahem, you don't even know how many women I've played with. Of course, I understand women's minds best."

"Oh?"

Tang Wulin cast a suspicious look at him.

I always feel like this guy is hiding something.

The two of them came to the Fighting Soul Area while playing around. After Wang Dong paid twenty gold soul coins according to the rules, they entered the Fighting Soul Area.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but complain to Wang Dong:

"Isn't the academy too heartless? They charge twenty gold soul coins for each fight. How can an average soul master afford this?"

You know, if Huo Yutong doesn't count the cost, he can only earn nine silver soul coins from selling grilled fish in a day. If you deduct the cost of grilling fish, the net profit will be even less.

After deducting the daily expenses, if she wanted to fight in the Fighting Spirit Zone, she would probably have to sell grilled fish for several months.

Wang Dong shrugged.

"After all, those who can enter our academy are usually rich or noble. Poor guys like you and Yutong are a minority. Moreover, if our academy wants to advance to the senior grades, a victory record in the fighting spirit area is essential. When the time comes, you will be forced to come here to play games and you will have to submit a lot of records. It is said that just to advance from the fourth grade to the fifth grade, you need to have at least ten records of defeating students of the same grade, and the senior grades need more. The academy will not reimburse us. For people like us who come to spar occasionally, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Tang Wulin was surprised.

"According to what you said, doesn't it mean that if you want to advance, you need at least 100 gold soul coins?"

Wang Dong helped Tang Wulin pay for this competition. In other words, under normal circumstances, one match costs ten gold soul coins per person, and ten matches cost one hundred gold soul coins.

According to this rule, how could those poor students possibly afford it? You know, twenty gold soul coins are enough to cover the annual expenses of an ordinary family of four, and one hundred gold soul coins are equivalent to the expenses of a family of four for five years.

Civilian students are likely to be expelled from school because they cannot afford the entrance fee to the fighting spirit area.

Wang Dong nodded.

"Well, you're right, so you have to save more money in advance. If you really can't, you can borrow from me."

"..."

Tang Wulin couldn't help but fall into silence.

It seems that the college’s problems are much more serious than he thought.

The two came to the stage, and there were only a few people in the spectator seats.

Tang Wulin hooked his finger at Wang Dong.

"Come on, finish it quickly."

"Oh, you're quite confident."

Wang Dong smiled unhappily. He stomped his feet on the ground, and a pair of dazzling wings grew out from behind him. He instantly flew into the sky.

Hehehe, did you think you had escaped by not getting beaten when you entered school?
By the way, when I went to look at the introduction of the Fighting Spirit area, I saw that the charges were unbearable.

I can only say that Tang Fozu himself didn’t understand the money system, so don’t blame me for complaining.
