Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

Zeng Tiezhu opened his mouth, stared at Su Yuntao for a long while, and finally couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"Second Young Master, can't you speak properly? It's one thing for one person to die from bad luck, but more than twenty Great Soul Masters and three Soul Venerables, are they all going to die from bad luck?"

Su Yuntao smiled but didn't reply.

Zeng Tiezhu didn't press the matter. His gaze swept over the corpses of the surrounding soul beasts, and he couldn't help but sigh with heartache.

"These soul beasts are all dead... What a waste! Second Young Master, look, there are two soul beasts here that are over a thousand years old, and so many soul beasts that are a hundred years old. If the soul rings of these soul beasts were still kept, their value would at least double. It's a pity that they have been dead for too long."

Su Yuntao did not answer.

He knew, of course, that it was a pity that the soul rings of these soul beasts had not been absorbed, but the soul rings would only last for half an hour after the soul beasts died, and even if he wanted to keep them for someone else, it would be too late.

Zeng Tiezhu sighed and walked toward the corpse of the Soul-Stealing Wolf not far away.

He approached and bent down for a closer look, then suddenly froze.

He crouched down, staring intently at the dark gray wolf carcass for several breaths, then suddenly looked up:

"This is... a four-thousand-year-old Soul-Stealing Wolf?"

Zeng Tiezhu's voice was so loud that the surrounding guards could hear it.

The crowd, who had been sorting through their spoils, quickly gathered around. Someone crouched down, parted the Soul-Stealing Wolf's mane to examine the markings on its forehead, and gasped in horror:

"It really is! A Soul-Stealing Wolf over four thousand years old! That's an extremely rare find."

Someone lamented, "What a waste! If we had come sooner, we might have been able to preserve the Soul-Devouring Wolf's spirit ring. A four-thousand-year-old spirit ring! Our Baron's Territory hasn't produced anything of this caliber in so many years."

Zeng Tiezhu stood up, his tone filled with obvious regret:

"A normal four-thousand-year soul ring is fine, but the key is that this Soul-Devouring Wolf's soul ring is biased towards the mental attribute. This four-thousand-year soul ring alone is more valuable than a normal ten-thousand-year soul ring."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuntao couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"Don't worry, this Soul-Stealing Wolf wasn't wasted; I've already absorbed its spirit ring."

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

Zeng Tiezhu's eyes widened in surprise:

"What? Second Young Master, you're saying you absorbed the Soul-Devouring Wolf's spirit ring? That's a four-thousand-year-old spirit ring! You're only level thirty, Second Young Master. Theoretically, the maximum spirit ring you can absorb is only seventeen hundred years old. How did you manage to absorb it?"

Su Yuntao shrugged:

"Perhaps it's because my martial soul happens to be a lone wolf, and since we're both wolf-type soul beasts, it's a good match, which lowers the absorption standard."

He said this, but he knew in his heart that the compatibility was indeed part of the reason, but the core reason that allowed him to absorb the power across levels was the comprehensive transformation of his physical strength by the thirty years of Xuan Tian Gong's deduction.

Although his soul power level was only level 30 before, the toughness of his meridians and the upper limit of his body's endurance had long exceeded that of ordinary Great Soul Masters, and were even comparable to the limit of Soul Venerables.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. Although Su Yuntao's explanation seemed to make some sense, it was a Soul-Seizing Wolf Soul Ring that had lasted for four thousand years!

A level 30 Soul Master absorbing a 4,000-year Soul Ring is an unbelievable feat in the entire Soul Master world.

But Su Yuntao clearly didn't intend to dwell on this topic any longer, and turned to Zeng Tiezhu, saying:

"By the way, remember to bring Liu Yingda and the corpses of those three Soul Masters. I need them very much. Also, everyone, hurry up. The stench of blood here is too strong. Who knows what kind of Soul Beasts we might attract?"

Although Zeng Tiezhu didn't know what Su Yuntao wanted the corpses for, he still readily agreed and ordered several guards to take action.

The corpses of Liu Yingda and the three Soul Masters were simply tidied up, then wrapped in coarse cloth, tied to two wooden beams, and lifted up.

The guards were somewhat reluctant when they carried out the order, but since it was the second young master's command, they didn't dare to ask any questions.

Over the next half hour, the guards quickly searched the battlefield for everything usable.

The weapons and money bags of the Soul Masters, as well as the valuable materials from the Soul Beasts, were all sorted out and piled up in several stacks.

Su Yuntao watched from the side, silently calculating how many gold soul coins he could exchange for these things when he got back.

After everything was tidied up, Zeng Tiezhu walked to Su Yuntao's side with his knife in hand and gestured towards a spot not far away:

"Second Young Master, there's still one thousand-year-old soul beast and four hundred-year-old soul beasts over there, all barely clinging to life. What should we do?"

Su Yuntao followed his gaze, then slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten about this.

He strode over to the armored giant lizard lying on the ground, barely breathing.

Although this thing had been nearly killed by Liu Yingda and his group, it was still a thousand-year-old soul beast with an astonishingly tenacious vitality, and its chest was still slowly rising and falling.

Su Yuntao glanced down at it, and the system's previous prompt flashed through his mind: the Ironclad Giant Lizard's soul ring had a 70% compatibility with his Lone Wolf Martial Soul.

A 70% match rate is already quite high.

Although he had already absorbed the Soul-Sucking Wolf's soul ring as his third soul ring, he didn't want to waste this 1,500-year-old Armored Giant Lizard. His elder brother's soul power had just reached level 30, and after recovering from his injuries, absorbing the Armored Giant Lizard's soul ring would be perfect. He immediately gave the order:

"Kill the hundred-year-old soul beasts directly. Absorb any suitable ones on the spot. Don't waste them. As for that armored giant lizard, take it back and keep it for my brother."

Zeng Tiezhu nodded and waved for several guards to step forward and deal with the century-old soul beasts.

Several guards with soul power at level 20 had been waiting eagerly. Upon hearing the order, they immediately stepped forward and cleanly and efficiently ended the lives of the hundred-year-old soul beasts. Then, they each sat down cross-legged and began to absorb soul rings.

Although they were all spirit rings that were only a couple hundred years old and of relatively low quality, it was still a rare opportunity for these guards. They usually didn't have such suitable spirit beasts waiting for them to absorb. Now, after coming out with the second young master, they had obtained spirit rings of this quality for nothing, and each of them had an undisguised look of joy on their faces.

About fifteen minutes later, the guards who had finished absorbing the energy stood up, stretched their limbs, and couldn't hide their smiles.

Zeng Tiezhu roughly counted the spoils of war and walked up to Su Yuntao:

"Second Young Master, that's about enough. We've brought everything we could and absorbed everything we could."

Su Yuntao nodded, his gaze sweeping over the now quiet battlefield.

The Soul Master's corpse had been wrapped up, and several bags of Soul Beast materials had been packed. The Soul Rings of the four hundred-year-old Soul Beasts had been completely absorbed. The thick-skinned, armored giant lizard was reinforced with vines, and the guards carrying the jib were in place.

Seeing this, he shouted:

"go home!"
