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

It felt as if something had gently touched the depths of his consciousness, causing the previously blurred edges of his awareness to tremble slightly.

Su Yuntao felt a cool sensation spreading from between his eyebrows, as if someone had placed a piece of cool jade on the center of his forehead.

Then, a very subtle change occurred in the scene before him. He was sitting at the table, the flame in the oil lamp flickering gently on the wick, the wood grain on the table was clearly visible, and the shapes of leaves could be vaguely discerned in the darkness outside the window.

Those details had always been there, but he had never noticed them so clearly before.

Su Yuntao closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, he could feel that his attention was much more focused than before, and his thinking speed was also a bit faster.

The originally blurred spiritual boundaries deep within the sea of ​​consciousness now appear as if they have been polished with fine sandpaper, becoming smooth and clear.

He tried to concentrate his spiritual power at his fingertips. Although he couldn't release it as freely as he could with his soul power, he clearly felt a faint sense of expansion from his sea of ​​consciousness. It was a big step forward for his spiritual power in the direction of materialization.

Su Yuntao looked down at his palms, then touched his forehead, remaining silent for a long time. The original Xuan Tian Gong internal energy had always existed within his body in a flowing manner, like a river flowing through his meridians, nourishing his body subtly and slowly.

But when he completely dispersed that ball of internal energy into his body without reservation, that energy no longer passed by, but remained.

His bones absorbed them and became stronger, his muscles absorbed them and became more powerful, his skin absorbed them and became more supple, and the wisp of internal energy flowing into his sea of ​​consciousness allowed his mental power to reach boundaries that were previously inaccessible.

Su Yuntao slowly exhaled and lowered his hands.

His current physical attributes, without using any soul power, have already exceeded the limit of a Soul Master.

If he were to face that four-thousand-year-old Soul-Devouring Wolf from the Soul-Hunting Forest again now, even without using his Soul Rings, he wouldn't have such a difficult time.

Su Yuntao sat down at the table again, picked up the cup of tea that had gone cold, and took a sip.

As the tea went down his throat, he felt the subtle yet steady changes within his body, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smile.

With a solid foundation and perfected techniques, the remaining improvement in soul power is simply a matter of time.

The next morning, Su Yuntao got up earlier than usual.

He tidied up the files and documents on the table and took out a letter from the drawer.

He had written the letter overnight, and the ink was now completely dry. He tucked the letter into his pocket, pushed open the door, and left the room.

In the main hall of the branch hall, Master Xiu Nuo was standing behind the counter organizing the proclamations to be distributed today. He looked up at Su Yuntao with some surprise and greeted him:

"Master, why are you here so early today?"

Su Yuntao walked to the counter, placed the letter on it, and pushed it in front of him:

"Master Xiu Nuo, could you please pass this letter on for me?"

Master Xiu Nuo glanced down at the words on the envelope, his expression visibly stiffening, and his gaze towards Su Yuntao was filled with a hint of panic:

"Lord, is this... your resignation?"

Su Yuntao leaned against the counter and said in a relaxed tone:

"Yes, it's my resignation letter. You can just hand it in for me."

Master Shuno clutched the letter in his hand, his voice rising a half-octave:

"It's fine if you're angry with Salas, but you don't have to just walk away. In the end, won't you be the one who suffers?"

Su Yuntao chuckled softly:

"I'm not doing this out of spite. I have my own plans. But since the Heavenly Dou Temple doesn't think much of me, I won't keep up. There's plenty of room for other people, and the Spirit Hall isn't the only option."

Master Xiu Nuo opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin.

He glanced down at the letter in his hand, then looked up at Su Yuntao, and after a long while, he managed to stammer out, "What about the branch hall..."

Su Yuntao pointed to the letter in his hand:

"I have already made it clear in my letter that I have no intention of taking on the position of branch temple master. I recommend you to officially take over. You have been working with me for so long, and you know the daily affairs of the Notting branch temple better than anyone else. I am at ease with you taking on this role."

Master Xiu Nuo was stunned. He looked down at the envelope in his hand and remained silent for a long while before asking in a low voice, "Then...where do you plan to go?"

Su Yuntao put his hands in his pockets and said casually:

"Salas is right about one thing: staying in a small place like Notting City all the time is indeed not conducive to the progress of a Soul Master. So I plan to go out and explore other places and see the scenery."

Su Yuntao left the branch hall and returned to the Baron's mansion. He knew he wouldn't be back for a while, so he naturally had to tell his family.

When he pushed open the courtyard gate, he saw Su Yunli squatting under the old locust tree in the yard, drawing something on the ground with a twig in her hand, and a little girl squatting next to her.

The little girl had two scorpion braids and wore a neat pink dress. She was tilting her head to look at the pattern Su Yunli was drawing on the ground, chattering away to herself.

Su Yuntao paused for a moment.

The little girl looked up when she heard footsteps, revealing a round face with a hint of liveliness and cunning.

Su Yuntao recognized the man's identity at a glance.

But how did she end up in her own home?

When Su Yunli saw Su Yuntao return, she immediately dropped the branch and jumped up, running a few steps to him, looking up and laughing:

"Second Brother, you're back! Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Wu, my good friend from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy!"

She turned and waved to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, come here quickly!"

Xiao Wu stood up and walked gracefully to Su Yunli's side. She tilted her head, glanced at Su Yuntao, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Second Brother Su!"

Su Yuntao's mind raced for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged as he smiled and nodded.

"Xiao Wu? I've heard Li'er mention you before, saying you're very capable."

Su Yunli immediately replied:

"Yeah, yeah, Xiaowu is the boss of our class! She's really fierce in fights!"

She turned to look at Xiao Wu, then pointed at Su Yuntao and boasted:

"Xiao Wu, look, this is my second brother. He's the Hall Master of the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall! If you ever have any problems you can't handle, just go to him!"
