In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 281 "Eating Poop" +1

"What are inner core soul rings...?"

At this moment, Tang San couldn't help but ask Yu Xiaogang with a face full of doubt, his doubt mixed with surprise.

He had a premonition that he would soon hear news that would shock him as well.

Looking at the seemingly ignorant and super-genius disciple with twin martial souls and innate full soul power, Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest slightly. His sense of superiority stemming from his knowledge filled him with confidence, and he continued to speak eloquently.

"Little San, many academies are now implementing educational reforms and no longer teach students much about spirit beasts. To prevent you from becoming so ignorant that you don't even recognize spirit beast spirit rings, let me give you a proper lesson on spirit beast spirit rings..."

Upon hearing this, Tang San frowned slightly, though not outwardly.

That good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang talks too much nonsense...

he thought.

In his previous life, Yu Xiaogang had already taught him all the knowledge about soul beasts and soul rings, so compared to these miscellaneous and useless pieces of knowledge, he was eager to know what exactly this inner core soul ring that Yu Xiaogang had just mentioned was.

Inner alchemy...

Is it the inner core of a primordial beast that he knows of?

How did Yu Xiaogang know about such things? And she even mentioned the Spirit Hall.

When it comes to my spirit rings, shouldn't Yu Xiaogang's first reaction be about going to the Spirit Beast Forest and all that?

Furthermore, regarding the fact that inner core energy can condense into soul rings, he only came to this conclusion from Ma Hongjun during the Sea God's Trial in his previous life.

What exactly happened in this era?!

Tang San was lost in thought and couldn't hear a word of Yu Xiaogang's long string of nonsense that was uttered by him as a reincarnated god-king.

However, Tang Shenwang was still Tang Shenwang after all. He managed to remain patient and calm throughout the process, waiting silently until Yu Xiaogang finished rambling before taking the initiative to ask again:

"So killing soul beasts and absorbing their soul rings can help a soul master break through their bottleneck... Then teacher, why didn't you just say you were taking me to the Soul Beast Forest tomorrow, but instead said we were going to the Martial Soul Branch Hall to see some inner cores and soul rings?"

"This has only happened in the last year."

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment, then sighed inexplicably.

"A year ago, the Spirit Hall openly held a large-scale sacred ceremony on the continent, and then the legendary Angel God actually appeared during the ceremony..."

"Angel God?!"

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish speaking, Tang San couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes widening suddenly.

god?!

How could such a being appear at this time? This chosen one is still in the early stages of development, barely even beginning!

And why is it an angel god?

This is one of the two ultimate bosses he will face in the future.

What exactly happened to the Thousand Angels lineage? And what happened to the Spirit Hall?

The shock on Tang San's face flashed by, quickly replaced by an uncertain expression.

Now that things have come to this, how could he not realize that the times have changed, completely changed?

From the inexplicable senior brother at the beginning, to the emergence of Huo Yuhao, the variable who had a way to die, and now... it's not over yet!

Tang San couldn't help but clench his fists.

"What's wrong, mistress?"

Tang San's barely suppressed, intense emotional turmoil was still noticed by Yu Xiaogang. He greeted him, then quickly seemed to realize something and said:

"Oh, you're shocked by the existence of 'gods,' aren't you? My reaction was the same as yours back then. I found it unbelievable, and even thought at one point that the Spirit Hall was just making things up..."

"However, after I studied the method of creating inner core spirit rings that the angelic god taught to the Spirit Hall, I gained a deeper understanding of its profoundness. I am therefore convinced that it is a gift from the gods and could not possibly be something that humans could develop."

As she spoke, Yu Xiaogang picked up a box from the table. The box was slightly open, revealing the outline of a round bead. It was exactly what Tang San had noticed as soon as he entered Yu Xiaogang's room.

Tang San had just thought about asking Yu Xiaogang something, but he was silenced by the chicken leg and steamed bun Yu Xiaogang gave him, and then he forgot about it.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang pick up the box and slowly open it completely, finally revealing a pure white, flawless pill, Tang San couldn't help but shudder.

"An inner core?!"

He blurted it out, then paused as if realizing something, and his voice became a little softer.

"This is... what's called the inner core? Teacher, what's its connection to spirit rings?"

He stared intently at the white pill in Yu Xiaogang's hand and asked.

"Mistress, let me tell you slowly."

Holding the box containing the first ten-year soul ring core he had bought and used for research, Yu Xiaogang vividly recounted the events of the angel's appearance, the meeting between humans and soul beasts, and so on. He also gave Tang San a "lesson" on the knowledge of ferocious beasts.

"After the angel god manifested himself at sacred festivals throughout the continent, he issued a divine decree..."

……

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

Tang San fell silent, utterly astonished.

When he finally managed to absorb all this information about the changes into his mind, he suddenly seemed to notice something.

"By the way, teacher, you just mentioned that among the leaders of the human race, there is a super power called the Dragon King Palace, which is on par with the three upper sects. What's the story behind the Palace Master Wang Zhao?"

"Hmm? You have quite the eye, mistress."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but take a deep look at Tang San, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

In his opinion, Tang San, this little guy who came from the village, might know about the Spirit Hall, but he probably wouldn't know much about the three upper sects or even the two great empires. Unexpectedly, Tang San was able to notice the most special Dragon King Hall from what he had just said.

When mentioning the Dragon King's Palace, one cannot help but think of Wang Zhao, the world-renowned young legend, and...

Now, the scale has grown larger and larger, gradually spreading from major cities across the continent to smaller places. Even Nottingham City has begun to establish a branch of the Free Guild!

Wang Zhao... that person is truly the one Yu Xiaogang least wants to face directly.

Because whenever Yu Xiaogang thinks of him, he can't help but compare him to his own useless self, and then no matter how much he doesn't want to admit it...

bah bah bah!

Hmph, I am a great master, unrivaled in theory and unparalleled in wisdom!

Yu Xiaogang cheered herself up and then looked at Tang San.

Even if I'm incompetent, so what? I have a mistress, and his senior classmate...

With two great disciples protecting me, how could I possibly worry about not being able to stand on equal footing with Wang Zhao in the future?
