The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 44 Double Happiness (6K)

Tang San's vine snake soul bone was naturally carefully selected for him by Zhang San.

This is a soul bone from the Spirit Hall's treasure house. When I was helping Bibi Dong identify treasures, I found that it was useless, so I left it for Tang San. He has quite a few similar soul bones.

Although he also wanted to get a ten-year soul bone for Tang San, Tang San was not a mentally retarded person and it was impossible for him to absorb any soul bone.

After all, if it weren't for Xiao Wu, the son of destiny might not take this two hundred year old soul bone seriously, and would probably keep it and go back to consult Yu Xiaogang.

And Yu Xiaogang... although he is a bit stupid, he would never let Tang San absorb a 200-year-old soul bone... maybe?
After all, he is a player who has been in Guzhu for 200 years, so Zhang San is really unsure.

That night... Zhang San appeared in Xiao Wu's dream again.

"Third brother~"

As soon as they met, Xiao Wu couldn't wait to dive into Zhang San's arms, her voice soft and gentle, "Tang San has already absorbed that vine snake soul bone. Just as Third Brother guessed, that guy started acting pitiful and even wanted Xiao Wu to be his sister. How shameless! I think he just wants to take advantage of Xiao Wu!"

Zhang San raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Then do you agree?"

"Of course I didn't agree! I turned the tables on him and became his sister!"

Xiao Wu smiled complacently, and then looked at Zhang San with a coquettish look: "In this world, Xiao Wu will only call one person brother, and that is you, Third Brother..."

Zhang San looked at her with a half-smile: "Just a brother?"

Xiao Wu blushed and lowered her head: "The rest...it's too early."

Perhaps due to emotional fluctuations, the dream space fluctuated, creating a dreamy scene.

The five-clawed spider landed on a low hill, and its lance dug into the white soil, scaring Xiao Wu so much that she screamed and her face flushed red.

Another five-clawed golden dragon climbed up two white jade pillars and soared into the sky, hovering in front of the gate of the Heavenly Palace, spreading drops of moist spring rain.

Seeing these bizarre and strange sights, a trace of shock flashed across Xiao Wu's big crimson eyes, and then they were filled with great surprise. She even cried for joy, sobbing softly, and even her speech became a little incoherent.

"Um... When will Xiao Wu be able to see... Third Brother?"

"Practice quickly. When you reach level 20, I'll send someone to pick you up."

Zhang San's voice whispered softly in Xiao Wu's ear, and Xiao Wu narrowed her eyes slightly.

"That will take at least another year... Xiao Wu can't wait any longer!"

"I'll give you a reward when you get back from the mission, okay?"

"Good~"

Xiao Wu agreed softly without asking what the reward was.

She was not interested in the reward, as long as she could see Zhang San, but since Zhang San said so, she had to obey.

If you ask why, it’s because Third Brother’s orders are absolute!
Soon, another three months passed.

Xiao Wu practiced frantically every day. Because she was just unlocking the power in her body, Xiao Wu's training speed when she was serious was far beyond that of her peers. In just three months, she was close to the peak of level seventeen.

"Sister Xiaowu has been practicing very hard recently."

It was another evening, and seeing Xiao Wu preparing to meditate early, Tang San spoke with emotion.

"Of course. I'm the older sister after all. I can't let you, the younger brother, catch up with me."

Xiao Wu said this casually, as if she were really a caring older sister.

"Actually, Sister Xiao Wu, you can trust me. I've already reached the peak of level nine. I'll definitely be able to return to level ten before school starts the day after tomorrow!"

Tang San said seriously: "I'm serious, Sister Xiao Wu, if anyone wants to hurt you one day, they must step over my dead body!"

"Sister Xiaowu is very touched, but she doesn't understand..."

Xiao Wu tilted her head in confusion: "I don't have any enemies, why would someone want to hurt me?"

"Forehead…"

Tang San was embarrassed for a moment, feeling quite ashamed of being ridiculed for his chuunibyou syndrome: "I mean, those sudden threats, the Fallen Spirit Masters and so on..."

"Sister Xiao Wu can protect herself. The world can't revolve around one person. Why do you always rely on others?"

Xiao Wu giggled, feeling a little speechless.

Does this guy think he's old and handsome?
Tang San was silent for a while. What he wanted to say was, the world will not revolve around you, but I will.

But I also felt that this was a bit too embarrassing to say out loud.

Seeing Xiao Wu quickly entering into meditation, Tang San stopped talking nonsense and soon entered into a state of cultivation.

Soon, it was time to start school and the two returned to the academy.

"What? You absorbed a two-hundred-year-old soul bone?"

Upon learning that Tang San had absorbed a two-hundred-year-old soul bone, Yu Xiaogang's expression suddenly changed.

"Teacher, this is the soul bone that Xiao Wu brought from home. I was planning to sell it, but since we became siblings, Xiao Wu gave it to me."

Tang San hurriedly explained the origin of the spirit bone and excused Xiao Wu: "It is precisely because of absorbing this spirit bone that I was able to quickly recover to level ten."

"Are we siblings?"

Yu Xiaogang was slightly startled: "I see, if it's a soul bone that hasn't been absorbed, it can indeed increase soul power, but a soul bone that's two hundred years old..."

"It allowed me to increase my soul power by one level, saving me three months of hard training."

Tang San hurriedly said: "When it comes to cultivation, one step at a time, one step at a time. Sister Xiao Wu said that the golden period for soul masters to cultivate is before the age of twenty. After the age of twenty, the speed of cultivation will drop sharply, so..."

"That's not unreasonable. If it's just an arm bone, the impact won't be that big, and there may be a chance to replace it. But Xiaosan, don't be so reckless in the future!" Yu Xiaogang warned.

"Disciple understands!"

Seeing Tang San agreed, Yu Xiaogang's serious expression eased a little. Soul bones are something that can only be found by chance. Even if Tang San's father is Haotian Douluo, he may not have the opportunity to equip a complete set of soul bones unless Tang San inherits the title of Haotian.

A two-hundred-year-old soul bone is not valuable for someone with Tang San's background, but it is still a great treasure if placed outside.

"But this girl actually took out a soul bone so easily. Even if it's only a hundred-year-old soul bone, it's still priceless. Where did that girl come from?"

"I am not sure as well."

Tang San shook his head: "But I can see that Sister Xiao Wu is a very good person. No matter where she comes from, she will not lie to me."

"You kid..."

Yu Xiaogang sighed slightly: "Let's not talk about that for now. Since you have reached level ten, you should absorb your first soul ring as soon as possible. Stay at my place tonight and go soul hunting tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

Tang San nodded. He had lived in Yu Xiaogang's room for the entire last year, and indeed his soul power had not disappeared again.

That night, he went to bed early.

Then, as if falling in an endless wave of darkness, when Tang San opened his eyes again, he found himself in a forest with lush vegetation.

"Xiao San, let me teach you a theory now. If you have more rings and bones, you can use your skills to attack. If you have fewer rings and bones, you can run away..."

In front of them, Yu Xiaogang was talking incessantly. Not far away from them, a triangular-headed mandrake snake was spitting out its tongue towards them.

"The fart is like thunder, and the sky and the earth are shattered with three cannons!"

With a loud bang, a strange creature that looked like a pig but not a pig appeared in front of Yu Xiaogang and farted at the mandrake snake's head!

After a thunderous roar, the Mandragora Snake was blown away by the fart, and Yu Xiaogang pulled up the confused Tang San and ran away!

"Farts are like smoke, hypnotizing Luo Sanpao into a deep sleep!"

Behind the two of them, the Mandrake Snake was chasing them closely. Yu Xiaogang used his ultimate move again, and Luo Sanpao farted on his head again!

The mandrake snake was stunned for a moment, and then became completely enraged, chasing the two people like crazy.

Seeing that the two were about to be caught up, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly asked Luo Sanpao to block it, but not only did he fail to stop the pursuit of the Mandrake Snake, but he was bitten in the crotch by the other party.

Luo Sanpao screamed and turned into purple light and returned to Yu Xiaogang's body. Yu Xiaogang's legs trembled and he fell to the ground. His head accidentally hit a stone, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Realizing that he was doomed, Tang San turned around and fought to the death, completely forgetting why he was there.

Suddenly, a wind baboon jumped out from the bushes, blocked the attack of the mandragora snake for Tang San, and landed in front of Tang San with a wail.

And it was precisely this moment of opportunity that Tang San suddenly swung out a dagger and pierced the Mandragora Snake's eyes.

The mandragora snake hissed in pain, rolled madly for a while, and then became completely silent. A yellow soul ring floated out from its place.

Seeing this, Tang San hurried to Yu Xiaogang, pushed him, and found that he had been poisoned.

Is it the bite that Luo Sanpao just received?
Tang San frowned slightly, and hurriedly sealed the tendons and veins under Yu Xiaogang's lower abdomen. At the same time, he used Xuantian Gong to force the toxins in Yu Xiaogang's body to one place, and then cut open Yu Xiaogang's thigh and began to bleed him.

As the purple-black blood gradually flowed in, Tang San finally breathed a sigh of relief. After treating Yu Xiaogang's wound, he turned to look at the body of the Mandragora Snake, but found that the Mandragora Snake's spirit ring had quietly dissipated at some point.

"Pity…"

A four-hundred-year-old Mandragora Snake Soul Ring is undoubtedly very suitable for him.

But his teacher's life is more important to him. In order to save Yu Xiaogang's life, Tang San did not regret giving up such a spirit ring.

His eyes fell on the barely alive Wind Baboon, and Tang San sighed inwardly, "Thank you so much for saving my life this time."

As he said this, he moved forward and prepared to help him detoxify.

However, his hand was held down by the little baboon in front of him. The little baboon looked at Tang San deeply, his eyes full of gratitude.

The next moment, a ray of dazzling white light emanated from the little baboon, which made Tang San close his eyes unconsciously.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in Yu Xiaogang's room. The sky was a pale white with a hint of purple.

“Everything has a soul…”

Tang San sighed, jumped onto the roof, and continued to practice the Purple Demon Eye as usual, mentally preparing to face the next hunting soul.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang asked him to leave the academy. Tang San said hello to Xiao Wu and followed Yu Xiaogang out of the academy, heading all the way to the Soul Hunting Forest.

As for last night's dream, he had already forgotten it.

Although the dream is real, most people will forget what happened in the dream after a while after waking up unless they try hard to remember it.

Soon, the two passed by a town near the Soul Hunting Forest. Yu Xiaogang severely despised those group spirit masters who made a living from the Soul Hunting Forest, and brought Tang San to the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest. He used the third-class warrant of the Spirit Hall to show off his superiority in front of Tang San.

After passing through the steel fence and entering the forest, all the noise seems to disappear, and the air becomes fresh and refreshing.

Yu Xiaogang explained to Tang San the meaning of the symbols on the Spirit Hall token while summoning his own spirit. "Come out, Luo Sanpao!"

The lavender soul power dissipated, and a strange creature that looked like a pig but not a pig, and a dog but not a dog suddenly appeared in front of the two.

Tang San looked at the creature in front of him in surprise. Only then did he realize that the creature in front of him, named Luo Sanpao, was exactly the same as the one he saw in his dream!
It has light purple hair all over its body, two small drooping ears, a pair of big deep blue eyes that blink, and a round bump on the top of its head.

Two soul rings rose from Yu Xiaogang's feet and slowly moved around his body. Both halos were yellow, and were obviously century-old soul rings.

"Xiao San, don't you want to know what my martial spirit is? This is my martial spirit. You can call it Luo Sanpao, or just Sanpao."

Luo Sanpao was very human, and he looked at Tang San with his big eyes, with a hint of flattery in his eyes.

After roughly understanding the peculiarity of Luo Sanpao and looking at the dejected look on Yu Xiaogang's face, Tang San tactfully did not ask any more questions, nor did he mention the dream he had about Luo Sanpao last night.

The master and disciple continued walking into the forest.

The obese Luo Sanpao walked in front, shaking his head, while Yu Xiaogang was explaining Luo Sanpao's abilities to Tang San.

"Sanpao's sense of smell is very sensitive and can detect the traces and strength of soul beasts. Although it is weakened due to mutation, it consumes little soul power, so it can be released for a long time. This is for you. You need to complete the last episode of killing soul beasts by yourself."

Yu Xiaogang took out a gorgeous dagger and handed it to Tang San. Tang San was slightly stunned and was shocked to find that this dagger was exactly the same as the one he used to hunt the Mandrake Snake in his dream!
He began to feel that something was wrong, but he didn't rush to tell Yu Xiaogang.

Although he had heard some rumors about precognitive dreams, last night's dream was so clear that he couldn't help but wonder if he had any special abilities.

But nothing like this has happened in the past seven years...

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Tang San's mind, and he recalled the inexplicable disappearance of his soul power last year. Could it be related to this predictive dream?

Tang San guessed without any clue and continued walking into the forest with Yu Xiaogang for a while. On the way, he encountered some weak ten-year soul beasts, but no conflict occurred.

After a long while, Luo Sanpao suddenly raised his head, looked forward with burning eyes, and made a loud noise.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang hurriedly became alert, only to see several Nether Wolves chasing a young wind baboon running towards them.

It's that little baboon!

Tang San's eyes lit up.

Seeing that the Nether Wolves didn't give way and even seemed to be considering the two of them as prey, Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, "A group of ten-year-old wolves dare to harass me? Three shots!"

Luo Sanpao growled, and a breathing sound like a hurricane was heard, and his stomach suddenly bulged into a big ball.

Tang San quickly warned: "Teacher, don't kill that little baboon!"

Yu Xiaogang was slightly startled, but nodded anyway. He waited until the wind baboon rushed past Luo Sanpao before reciting the soul spell: "Fart like thunder, cracking the sky and earth, Luo Sanpao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly handed Tang San a mask, and then put on a mask himself.

Then there was a loud bang, and six Nether Wolves were thrown into the air like broken sacks, falling straight out ten meters away.

Tang San protected the wind baboon and held it tightly behind him to prevent it from being affected by Luo Sanpao's fart.

"Squeak?"

The little baboon tilted his head.

"Are you OK?"

Tang San smiled affectionately and gently rubbed its little head.

The little baboon looked at Tang San with some confusion, but finally couldn't stand the fart smell and ran away in a hurry.

However, Tang San could clearly feel that the little guy did not run far away, but was hanging far behind him.

Thinking of what happened to the little baboon in his dream, Tang San sighed inwardly.

I will definitely save you this time!

After dealing with the Nether Wolf and explaining to Tang San the precautions for absorbing spirit rings, the master and disciple continued to walk into the forest.

Soon, as the sky darkened, the forest gradually became dark.

"Hey! Hey!"

Suddenly, Luo Sanpao issued another warning, this time the warning was more intense than before, and there was suddenly a fishy and sweet smell in the air!
“It’s poisonous!”

Tang San's nose twitched and he spoke subconsciously.

Yu Xiaogang waved his right hand repeatedly and put both of his soul rings on Luo Sanpao.

"Teacher, there!"

Tang San pointed in a direction and Yu Xiaogang threw a tinder over there. When he saw the triangular snake head in the darkness, he couldn't help but gasp.

"It's a mandrake snake! How could such a ferocious creature appear on the outskirts of the forest? I hope it's ten years old..."

Using realgar powder to intimidate the Mandragora Snake, Yu Xiaogang explained the characteristics and weaknesses of the Mandragora Snake while pulling Tang San behind him.

"Xiao San, let me teach you a theory now. If you have more rings and bones, you can use your skills to attack. If you have fewer rings and bones, you can run away..."

After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San was completely certain that what he had last night was a prophetic dream!

But can I change what happens in my dreams?
Tang San wanted to remind Yu Xiaogang not to use Luo San Pao to block the attack of the Mandragora Snake.

But if he didn't rely on Luo Sanpao to block it, once he was bitten by the Mandrake snake, he would not only be poisoned, but also suffer from the external injuries caused by the snake's fangs!
Touching the newly made hidden arrow on his wrist, Tang San had an idea in his mind. He suddenly raised his hand and shot a hidden arrow towards the eyes of the Mandragora Snake.

However, the reaction of the Mandrake Snake was faster than he expected. The snake swung its head quickly, lowered its head to avoid the vital parts, and then let out a painful hiss.

Oh no, it was dodged!
This beast reacts so quickly!
Before Tang San could think about it, a four-meter-long Mandrake snake suddenly pounced on the two of them, and Yu Xiaogang also released his soul skill at the first moment.

"The fart is like thunder, and the sky and the earth are shattered with three cannons!"

With a loud bang, the master and disciple ran away.

"Teacher, be careful not to let Luo Sanpao get bitten!"

Tang San hurriedly reminded him that in the dream, Yu Xiaogang fell unconscious because his legs went weak because Luo Sanpao was bitten, and he had to rely on him to help detoxify, which delayed the absorption of the spirit ring.

If the other party had not fainted, Yu Xiaogang could have completely drained his blood to detoxify himself, giving him time to absorb the soul ring.

"Don't get bitten..."

Yu Xiaogang's face was solemn, and he asked Luo Sanpao to release hypnotic fart again to hinder the pursuit of the Mandragora Snake.

"No, this beast is chasing us too closely!"

Seeing that the Mandrake Snake was still chasing him, Yu Xiaogang's face changed.

Upon hearing this, Tang San hurriedly threw out the white radish prepared for Luo Sanpao in his soul guide to interfere with the Mandragora Snake behind him.

However, even after throwing all the radishes, he was still unable to shake off the Mandragora Snake. Just as the Mandragora Snake was about to pounce on Tang San, suddenly a white figure jumped out from the bushes.

coming!

Tang San's heart trembled. Although things had changed, some things were still unavoidable...

If I wasn't so weak, I wouldn't need this little guy to take the blame for me.

At this moment, he felt an urgent desire to become stronger. At the same time, taking advantage of the moment when the wind baboon was blocking the mandrake snake, he swung his hand and threw the dagger in his hand out!
"Die to me!!"

"hiss--"

With a "whoosh" sound, the blade entered the eye, and the Mandrake Snake hissed violently and rolled over as if in the dream.

Tang San quickly rushed to the front of the wind baboon, raised his hand to lift up the little baboon that was breathing out more than breathing in, and quickly blocked the major acupoints near the little guy's wound to prevent the poison from spreading further.

"Is this... the wind baboon we just rescued?"

Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang also stopped and looked at the wind baboon in Tang San's arms in surprise. He glanced at the struggling Mandragora Snake and his expression gradually relaxed: "This really is... good deeds are rewarded."

"Teacher, please help me remove the poisonous blood later, I..."

Tang San was busy with his work when suddenly, the little baboon in his arms held his hand and looked at him with gratitude in his eyes.

The next moment, in Yu Xiaogang's shocked eyes, a white light bloomed from the wind baboon's body, transformed into a white spirit ring, and slowly fell on Tang San.

Because of its young age and the fact that it was a sacrifice, the soul ring was integrated very smoothly. In the blink of an eye, the soul ring was completely integrated into Tang San's body!

"Oh no! This, this..."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened suddenly, and his face turned pale in an instant: "It's actually a sacrifice! How could this be?!"

"Sacrifice? What sacrifice?"

Noticing Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Tang San's heart sank.

"It means that soul beasts voluntarily sacrifice their lives and soul rings to soul masters. I have only heard of such legends..."

Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale. "A spirit ring obtained this way won't have any difficulty fusing. If it's the right spirit ring, it's naturally a good thing, but...Xiao San, release your martial spirit and let me see it!"

Tang San also understood something and hurriedly released the Blue Silver Grass, but the expected white soul ring did not appear.

Noticing this scene, Yu Xiaogang seemed to realize something, and his heart sank again.

"Then...your other martial spirit..."

Thinking of that terrible possibility, Yu Xiaogang felt his teeth chattering.

Tang San silently released the Clear Sky Hammer, and a ray of white light emanated, turning into a white spirit ring that was wrapped around Tang San.

"It's over, it's over..."

Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang's eyes suddenly went dark: "What should I do?"

Tang San was also panicked. He had studied with Yu Xiaogang for a year and knew some basic soul master knowledge.

He was born with full soul power, twin martial souls, and was a hammer of the strong attack system, but he was only given a white soul ring. This is such a huge loss!

Tang San looked at the white spirit ring on his body helplessly: "Teacher, this...what should I do?"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and frowned. Just when he was at a loss, the Mandragora Snake not far away suddenly stopped struggling, and a bright yellow soul ring slowly floated up.

Looking at the bright yellow soul ring, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have thought of something and his expression relaxed slightly.

"Now that it has happened, there is no other way. Xiao San, quickly use your Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit to absorb that Mandragora Snake Soul Ring!"

Yu Xiaogang said anxiously, "When twin spirits attach a spirit ring to another spirit, there's a risk of exploding and dying. But fortunately, the Blue Silver Grass is naturally weak and more tolerant. The other spirit only has a white spirit ring, so there won't be much of a conflict. With the solid foundation you've built from cultivating once, you should be able to absorb this spirit ring without any impact!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Zhang San, who had been hiding not far away, almost laughed out loud.

Double happiness!
