Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 194 Third Party

"Wang Dong, why don't you ask your family to help you get a spirit ring?"

Xiao Xiao looked up at the sky: "Thirty-thousand-year-old soul beasts are so terrifying... How can you bear to take me and risk my life like this? I really don't want to fight anymore..."

Ever since she obtained the soul ring and soul bone, everything seems to have changed. Not only has she made breakthroughs in her cultivation, but her luck has also inexplicably turned bad.

Those exchange students from the Sun and Moon who shouldn't have bothered with them suddenly became incredibly energetic, coming to cause trouble every few days. They were like a leech, impossible to hide from, and they became more and more tenacious the more they were attacked.

Especially that one who laughs at the world...

Why pick on a weak woman with a weapon spirit like her when there are so many powerful figures in the inner courtyard? And after each fight, she'd neurotically blurt out, "Next time I'll definitely beat you!"

Then, two days later, they would face a humiliating defeat with an air of arrogance.

'The Soul Master's combat strength is so weak.'

Xiao Xiao sighed inwardly.

Xiao Hongchen was already considered one of the top in his generation, but he was still a step behind a six-ring Soul Master.

If he were to reach the seventh ring, a Soul Master with the True Form amplification would probably be able to defeat two of him who have reached level seven in one go.

"Do you think I wanted this? I was genuinely afraid that strange old woman would follow me all the way home!"

Wang Dong looked somewhat devastated: "I can't hide it anymore, how could she still be interested in this effeminate look... Wouldn't it be better for a girl to like a sunny and upright guy?"

They had met during the Soul Master Competition, and after a few heated words, the other party seemed to be possessed, looking at her with strange eyes.

When he returned defeated, the other party even said, "Looking forward to meeting you again."

I thought that was the end of it, but who knew she would come back again, taking advantage of the exchange program. She even admired Wang Dong's new long hair look even more, and kept bumping into her all the time.

If Wang Dong were a boy, it wouldn't be so bad, but Meng Hongchen's swift and aggressive advances are something no ordinary person could withstand.

But she... tsk.

"Neither of the siblings is a normal person!"

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong gazed deeply into each other's eyes, their voices resonating silently.

If everyone at Sun Moon Academy has such unconventional ideas, then it seems they have nothing to worry about.

"Wait."

Thinking of this, Wang Dong pondered for a moment: "It's the holiday now, and the Sun and Moon side will start their holiday a few days later. So, could we—"

"Why think so much? Who knows how long it will take you to find that spirit ring."

Xiao Xiao sighed, and under Wang Dong's strange gaze, she took out a piece of black metal, infused it with soul power, and emitted a ring of blue light waves.

"What is this?"

Wang Dong felt the unusual movement caused by the ripples probing her body. Her incredibly strong mental power came in handy at this moment, allowing her to keenly perceive the tremors of her soul power: "Is it detecting soul power fluctuations?"

"Yes."

Holding the metal block in her hands, Xiao Xiao finally smiled: "I never expected that those scrap metal pieces would have such amazing effects after being repaired..."

"These are the lumps of iron?"

Wang Dong's lips twitched: "Your eye is really sharp. You can even pick out good stuff from here!" Ever since Dean Qian left to open a Soul Guidance Branch, the entire Shrek City has been in a state of prolonged activity.

Soul Masters from all over Douluo Continent flocked to the city like a tide, as if they had finally found their saviors. In just a few months, they filled Shrek City to the brim, forcing the Sea God Pavilion to approve the expansion proposal.

Besides the flood of job applications and college applications, all sorts of soul tools from Douluo Continent began to gather here. High-end ones could be bought at auctions, while low-end ones could be bought on the black market.

"Don't underestimate these few scrap metal lumps; they're treasures I dug up near the capital of the Sun Moon Empire! Three people dressed in Mingde Hall attire were going in and out of that forest. After they left, I went in and searched, and there they were!"

The unidentified stall owner waved his fingers wildly: 'Think about it... this is something Mingde Hall had to send three experts to retrieve. Do you think it's easy to sell? If I weren't afraid of being tracked down by Sun Moon Sect, I would have sold it to someone else long ago! Why would I come all the way to Shrek Academy to sell it?!'

Although Xiao Xiao dismissed it as a joke, the intricate array inside the metal and the unseen connection she felt still prompted her to spend a fortune and decisively acquire it.

Afterwards, this matter was reported up the chain of command and eventually reached Qian Duoduo, who ultimately received a share of the profits from a repaired detector.

"Actually, the function of these kinds of separate parts is not as strong as you think."

Xiao Xiao pointed at the metal surface: "According to the dean's description, most of the functions are integrated into the main body. The separate part can at most serve as an energy level alarm."

As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Dong with amusement and asked, "What's wrong with you lately? Why have you suddenly become interested in soul tools?"

She still remembered that Wang Dong had an inexplicable aversion to this thing from the beginning. If it weren't for Huo Yuhao spending all his time in the Soul Guidance System, this guy wouldn't have given Soul Guidance Devices a friendly look at all.

"People change, you know..."

Wang Dong scratched his head, somewhat bewildered: "Is it because I've seen so much that I'm interested in the amazing functions of these soul tools?"

To be honest, she also felt that her changes were quite amazing.

Since acquiring his fourth spirit ring, his headaches have stopped, and he's been sleeping much better. His mental strength has even experienced a period of rapid growth, surpassing his spirit power level in terms of overall strength.

"Maybe……"

Wang Dong's eyes lit up: "This young master... ptooey! This young lady's unparalleled talent is finally starting to show?"

hum~
After 360 days of separation, I'll make that young Huo look at me with new eyes!
"It must be an unparalleled talent for sleeping."

Xiao Xiao sighed and twirled the metal block in her hand: "I don't know how you could sleep in front of Huo Yuhao before. With such a cultivation fanatic sitting there, didn't you feel uneasy?"

Long after Huo Yuhao left, the two of them were always hiding in the woods, and Wang Dong's almost always-on-time shutdown schedule frustrated Xiao Xiao many times.

Wang Dong is still dressed as a man!

She couldn't expect Xiao Xiao to carry her back to the dormitory every day... This also caused Meng Hongchen's hatred to fall on the innocent and weak woman.

"Well, you'll get used to it."

Wang Dong proudly tossed his hair, causing Xiao Xiao's face to darken: "A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water."

"Tch! I didn't die in your bed."

Wang Dong nonchalantly raised his head and looked at the metal block that had suddenly turned black and red: "...What state is this now?"

"We're about to go bankrupt."

Xiao Xiao crossed her arms: "Something that's nearly 100,000 years old has appeared nearby, no more than a kilometer away. You'd better pray it's a human Soul Master from the eighth level of the Realm."
