Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 26 Getting to know the Su family makes soul refining easier.

"Bai Yu?!"

Before the guards could react, Su Lin rushed over with great joy, grabbing the iron gate and shaking it until it creaked.

"Brother Su, it's me."

Bai Yu smiled to himself, thinking, "Don't get so excited, it's like I'm visiting you in prison."

Su Lin was so excited that she became incoherent:

"You, you're still alive? You're still alive?"

After saying that, he realized something and quickly said to the guard:

"Quick, open the door!"

The guards quickly opened the door, and from Su Lin's reaction, they knew that this kid was Bai Yu. How did he escape being targeted by a hundred-year-old soul beast?

Su Lin placed his hands on Bai Yu's shoulders, looking him over with excited eyes again and again, and after confirming that he wasn't missing any flesh, asked:

"Bai Yu, how did you escape?"

The guards nearby also pricked up their ears; they wanted to know too.

Bai Yu said:

"I almost became that giant snake's meal, but luckily, at the last moment, a passing expert saved my life."

"A passing expert? How skilled are they?"

Su Lin became interested and pressed for more details.

Bai Yu shook his head and said:

"I don't know, but it's definitely amazing."

At this moment, a guard nearby interjected:

"I took over the shift yesterday morning. During my 24-hour shift, only three Soul Masters went in. Even including those who haven't come out yet, there are no more than ten experts above the Soul Master level. You're very lucky."

He readily believed Bai Yu's explanation. After all, if you told him that Bai Yu was a level 10+ support-type Soul Master who escaped the pursuit of a hundred-year-old Soul Beast on his own, he might think you were a fool.

Bai Yu smiled and continued, following his lead:

"Yes, I'm very lucky to have survived."

Just then, a carriage approached from afar, and Su Lin said:

"Bai Yu, you saved me and Chen Mei. You are a benefactor of the Su family! From now on, if you ever encounter any difficulties, the Su family will definitely do everything in its power to help you!"

Bai Yu was about to exchange a few polite words when he suddenly remembered something.

Now that Tang Hao will no longer follow him, he'll have more time to refine his soul. But as a student, he can't frequently enter the Soul Hunting Forest; that would arouse suspicion. But what if he uses the Su family's name?

The Su family is a prominent family in Notting City, and it's normal for them to come to the Soul Hunting Forest often. Even if they come once every ten days or half a month, that's still more than Bai Yu himself had planned to come once a month!

If I can build a good relationship with the Su family and enter the Soul Hunting Forest with them under the guise of being an assistant, wouldn't I have many more opportunities to refine my soul?

Of course, figuring out how to get them out of there is a problem, but that's a problem for later, and it's not that difficult.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu smiled weakly and said to Su Lin:

"Brother Su is joking."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yu suddenly fell forward.

Su Lin was startled and quickly helped Bai Yu up, frantically waving at the carriage and shouting:

"Faster! Faster!"

. . . . . .

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Yu not only became the savior of the Su family, but was also taken to the Su family by Su Lin, who invited the best doctor in the city to treat him.

Although Bai Yu is not seriously injured, it wouldn't hurt to get a full checkup.

After Bai Yu woke up, Su Lin and his father, the head of the Su family, warmly welcomed him. From the head of the Su family, Bai Yu learned that Su Lin was the only son of the Su family. In addition, the Su family only had one younger sister named Su Lan, so Su Lin was highly valued. Naturally, Bai Yu, who had saved Su Lin, was also highly valued by the Su family.

After the hospitality ended, Su Lin personally escorted Bai Yu back to Notting Academy, and Bai Yu took the opportunity to say to him:

"Brother Su, I remember you went to the Soul Hunting Forest with two purposes: to hunt for soul rings and to find materials. Now you haven't achieved either goal, and I'm truly sorry."

Su Lin feigned displeasure and said:

"Xiaoyu, what are you saying? Do you think I, Su Lin, am that kind of person? Don't worry, you're my savior. I'll not only give you the mission reward, I'll double it!"

Bai Yu laughed:

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the mission isn't finished yet. You'll probably find another opportunity to continue, right? Let me recover for a few days, then I'll accompany you, Brother Su, to complete this mission. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease!"

After hearing this, Su Lin was so moved that she almost swore brotherhood with Bai Yu on the spot.

After Bai Yu tricked him away, he "recovered" at the academy for two days and then received a letter from Su Lin, inviting him to explore the Soul Hunter Forest again.

Bai Yu readily agreed. This time, Su Lin brought out his Soul Master directly. Bai Yu didn't rush to refine his soul, but instead obediently followed the team, fulfilling his support role and waiting for an opportunity to arise.

However, the opportunity did not come, and the exploration yielded no results. Su Lin had no choice but to leave the Soul Hunter Forest with regret.

Fortunately, after resting for three days, he invited Bai Yu to go again. This time, they were attacked twice. The first time, they were easily defeated by the Soul Master of the Su family, and the second time, they were attacked by a hundred-year-old Soul Beast.

With the Soul Master of the Su family held back, Bai Yu escaped with Su Lin and Chen Mei. During the escape, he used the modified system to create an opportunity for himself to be alone, refined several souls, stored all his soul power in the Myriad Soul Banner, and then left the Soul Hunting Forest with Su Lin and Chen Mei.

Of course, it was also thanks to him that Su Lin and Chen Mei got nothing. If they had made a gain, wouldn't Bai Yu have no excuse to follow them into the Soul Hunting Forest so frequently?

Therefore, Bai Yu will not let them gain anything in the short term until there is another way to frequently enter the Soul Hunting Forest. At that time, he will help them obtain what they want as compensation.

This situation lasted for three whole months. During those three months, Bai Yu followed Su Lin into the Soul Hunting Forest twenty times, averaging once every four and a half days. This frequency was extremely high, so Bai Yu made a fortune.

The soul power stored in the Myriad Soul Banner is now enough for him and Xiao Qing to break through to level 20 together!

He promoted Xiaoqing, but instead of focusing on his own advancement, he continued to look for a suitable partner—a soul beast over a hundred years old.

Xiao Qing was less than a hundred years old in her lifetime. Although she had already cultivated to level 20 in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner... cough cough, the Human Emperor Banner, any hundred-year-old soul beast at the same level was stronger than her. Therefore, Bai Yu decided to find another hundred-year-old soul beast to refine his soul, as his second soul pet.

Of course, hundred-year-old soul beasts are not so easy to find. In his twenty explorations into the Soul Hunting Forest, he only encountered one, and it was incredibly cunning. As soon as it saw that Su Lin had a Soul Venerable accompanying him, it didn't even try to probe and just slipped away.

Bai Yu was frustrated. He didn't dare to chase after them rashly. Although he and Xiao Qing together could easily deal with their opponents, it would still be quite dangerous if they encountered a soul beast that was over four hundred years old.

He wanted to find a hundred-year-old soul beast, let the Soul Venerable beside Su Lin weaken it, and then use the system to create an opportunity to be alone with that hundred-year-old soul beast, and then kill and refine its soul.

But there hasn't been such an opportunity for the past three months, so Bai Yu can only comfort himself that there are still five and a half years left.

Meanwhile, during those three months, he moved out of Dormitory 7 and got his own single room. Not long after he moved out, Xiao Wu also "hunted" a spirit ring and moved next door to him, frequently bothering him.

However, Bai Yu did not intend to get too close to Xiao Wu before he came of age, especially with Tang Hao watching over him. So he deliberately kept his distance from Xiao Wu, but this only aroused Xiao Wu's greater interest. What she couldn't have was always the best, so she began to harass Bai Yu more frequently.

This aroused Tang San's jealousy.

Tang San fell completely in love with Xiao Wu, so he was extremely jealous of Bai Yu, but he didn't show it because he considered Bai Yu a brother. However, in the fierce battle between Da Tou and Xiao Tou, he mastered a way to vent his emotions at a young age, and often secretly did crafts under the covers while everyone in Dormitory Seven was asleep.

For the past three months, Tang San, who was once quite handsome, had become somewhat frivolous. Xiao Wu now felt disgusted just by looking at his expression, but Tang San was unable to extricate himself from the pleasure he was experiencing, until something sensational happened in Notting City—

Master Yu is back!
