The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 187 A True Waiting Game

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo clicked his tongue. He hadn't expected the internal circle of the Spirit Hall to be so chaotic: "Xiao Xun, do you mean that Bibi Dong might let Tang San go because of Yu Xiaogang?"

"Grandpa Dugu, it's highly likely." Li Xun nodded with a smile. "Moreover, as long as Bibi Dong lets Tang San go in front of Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue, unless she's stupid, will start to think about the connection."

"What we need is a Qian Renxue who has a rift with the Pope."

"Indeed, the fact that the mother was suspected of having an affair and yet let her father's killer go is hard not to make people suspicious."

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "It's a pity about that 100,000-year-old soul beast. It's probably going to fall into Bibi Dong's hands."

"You're mistaken. When Bibi Dong arrived, it was actually the best time for us to capture that soul beast," Li Xun said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Sword Douluo also became interested.

Actually, he was the one who discovered this soul beast first. It's just a pity that Tang Hao was there to protect it in Soto City. Otherwise, how could that Xiao Wu have been so carefree for so long?

"I will let Shrek Academy and the others know in advance when Bibi Dong arrives. As long as some people aren't stupid, they shouldn't let Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, appear in the public eye of the Spirit Hall."

"Furthermore, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, I have prepared additional measures to ensure that Xiao Wu does not appear at the Heaven Dou Arena with the Shrek Academy team."

Li Xun looked at Dugu Bo: "Grandpa Dugu, you can just lie in wait near Shrek Academy and wait for them to come to you."

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Not everyone could come into contact with a 100,000-year-old soul beast, not even those with titles. If he could catch one himself, he would have something to brag about for the rest of his life.

Before he could even get excited, Sword Douluo spoke up with interest: "Xiao Xun, I think it's better to leave this matter to me."

Seeing that the duck was about to fly away, Dugu Bo quickly spoke up: "Sword Master, that's not fair of you. Xiao Xun specifically asked me to do this."

Bone Douluo glanced at the two of them and sighed, "Am I really that insignificant? Why do I never get a chance to do anything?"

Ning Fengzhi, who had been listening with great interest, quickly adopted a posture of keeping his eyes down and his mouth shut when he saw this situation.

Seeing that the three pillars of the family had become interested in Xiao Wu, Li Xun quickly spoke up: "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, actually I didn't assign this matter randomly."

"With the Pope's arrival in Heaven Dou City, you two and your teacher, as honorees of the Spirit Hall, should give the Spirit Hall face and attend together."

"Although Grandpa Dugu is also a worshipper, he is known for his freedom and doesn't attract attention when he doesn't attend."

After Li Xun finished speaking, he winked at Dugu Bo: "In this way, even if Xiao Wu disappears, without any evidence, our suspicion will be minimized, thus avoiding a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo sighed and could only nod helplessly.

He understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." The incident with Tang Hao and Ah Yin was still fresh in his mind. If the fact that they had captured a 100,000-year-old soul beast were to be exposed, it was very likely that even within the Spirit Hall, there would be dissenting voices.

"Since the elders have no objections, then our 'waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump' plan is settled." Li Xun chuckled.

Shrek Academy, inside the student dormitory.

Tang San exhaled a deep breath, then slowly opened his eyes. Feeling his soul power increase by another level, he felt no joy: "I've cultivated my soul power so diligently, and it's only increased by one level."

He then carefully observed the subtle changes in his body using the internal vision method: "And this is the result of absorbing the accumulated life force of the Canghui students."

"But I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems that my physical fitness has also improved since I absorbed life force."

Slowly getting out of bed, Tang San looked at the moonlight outside and couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "I wonder what my teacher is doing. The preliminary rounds ended ten days ago, and there are still twenty days to apply some spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer."

Thinking of this, Tang San raised his left hand and clenched his fist.

Since Yu Tianheng disappeared, they have had a tough time winning, but fortunately, they were blessed by Lady Luck. Li Xun forced the three academies of Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, and Heavenly Water to merge together, and they barely managed to qualify as the fifth-place team.

However, qualifying does not mean there is anything to celebrate. Tang San has already experienced the power of the three teams combined and knows that if they do not make a deeper breakthrough in the upcoming matches, they may very well be eliminated in the qualifying rounds.

Because it's not just Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, whose ice and fire attributes counter his Blue Silver Grass, but even Feng Xiaotian's wind blades can easily destroy his Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San shook his head to dispel the thought that Blue Silver Grass was too fragile. It wasn't that Blue Silver Grass was fragile, but that the soul ring configuration chosen for Blue Silver Grass was wrong.

Tang San couldn't help but recall the argument between Li Xun and their teacher that year, and then thought of the other party's attitude during the preliminaries: "What would happen if my Blue Silver Grass were attached with Li Xun's spirit ring?"

Tang San mentally rehearsed the possible changes that the Blue Silver Grass might produce: "Could I be the one standing in the center of the arena?"

"Probably." Tang San slowly closed his eyes. He felt that Li Xun was like a shadow that had always been looming over him, impossible to shake off or escape.

"But I won't stay like this forever, Li Xun! You probably never dreamed that I would have twin martial souls."

Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing within: "Now that I can absorb ten-thousand-year spirit rings, as long as I apply four ten-thousand-year spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, even if you are a Soul King, you will not be a match for the number one weapon spirit on the continent."

"I can't wait for the teacher anymore. I've trusted the teacher so many times, and what was the result?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

A shadow crossed Tang San's eyes, but he didn't hesitate any longer. He pushed open the door and walked towards Flander's room.

A moment later.

Thump thump thump—

Tang San knocked on the door: "Dean Flander, are you resting?"

"Oh, it's the mistress! What's the matter so late?" Flander dragged his tired body and opened the door.

"Dean, I would like to ask you to help me obtain some spirit rings." Tang San looked at Flander with a determined gaze, and then told him about his twin martial souls.

"Your teacher told me about the affair a long time ago." Flander felt a lump in his throat, then sighed heavily. "And didn't your teacher tell you to wait for him to come back before we talked about it?"

One after another, none of them made him feel at ease.

First, Ma Hongjun was crippled, then Yu Tianheng disappeared and could not be found no matter how hard he tried. Then Liu Erlong was scolded by Yu Yuanzhen and ran away and has not returned since. Over the past ten or twenty days, he felt exhausted from searching for people.

Now that Tang San is causing trouble again, will Shrek Academy ever be able to recover?

Tang San's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected that Yu Xiaogang had already told Flander about his twin martial souls.

The thought that his teacher had always told him to keep the secret of his twin martial souls hidden, while his teacher had leaked his information, filled Tang San with extreme frustration.

"Dean, our teacher has been gone for nearly forty days, and we don't know when he will be able to return. If this continues, the qualifying rounds will be approaching."

"If I don't take this time to attach a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, Shrek Academy might very well lose the promotion match."

Flander watched Tang San quietly. When he heard that Shrek Academy would lose, for some reason, he felt no emotion at all.

"Mistress, so be it."
