Why should I help a disobedient disciple who dares to defy his master's orders?
"I did say that."
Yu Xiaogang added, "But I only gave a general idea back then. Naturally, a Soul Bone can be absorbed if it's a match, but there are also levels of quality."
"It's like the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. According to the Tang Sect Encyclopedia, if the Martial Souls' compatibility exceeds 60%, it can trigger a Martial Soul resonance."
"But this is just the minimum compatibility, and the power is generally weak."
"The higher the compatibility, the stronger the Martial Soul Fusion Skill will be."
"So, I think..."
"This Soul Bone is best suited for agility-attack and power-attack types, based on the characteristics of the tiger and eagle."
The implication was clear.
Tang San was to be excluded from the contenders.
Tang San was furious!
Fine, fine! Is that how you want to play?
I carried your ass for over a month. Even if there wasn't any merit, there was still hard work, right? And you stab me in the back!
You old bastard!
You truly deserve to die! [Host has caused Yu Xiaogang to break with Tang San, seizing a small amount of Tang San's fortune!]
[Reward: "All Soul Bone Years +500"!]
Woo-hoo!
Now that's a pleasant surprise!
Tang Lan watched Tang San's furious expression, expecting him to erupt.
But he actually held back.
The old-fashioned thinking of ancient people prevented him from directly confronting Yu Xiaogang.
Tang Lan felt a bit disappointed.
He could only offer the pre-planned solution—
"Since you can't agree, let's have a competition."
"I've arranged a soul battle with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team. We'll have a match in a month."
"The one among the three of you who performs the best will get this Soul Bone."
Dai Mubai's eyes lit up!
He was ready to give up, but it seemed there was a sudden turn of events?
As the highest-ranked, excluding Tang Lan.
He still had a chance!
"No problem, Sect Master!" Dai Mubai immediately agreed.
"I have no problem either!" Tang San said confidently. "My third soul skill will definitely be great!"
— Just like in history, his third soul skill was still the Spider Web Restraint.
"I'll perform well!" Zhu Zhuqing was determined.
After giving Tang Lan some puffs and hot dogs last night.
Zhu Zhuqing could clearly sense that her martial soul and Tang Lan's Lightning Flame Clear Sky Hammer were almost constantly resonating.
When the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was activated, she would be the most impressive queen!
Furthermore,
Tang Lan had also taught her the Immortality Seal Technique and Dragon-Catching Hand.
She had good talent.
In just one morning, she had grasped a small portion of it.
"You'll definitely master it within a month."
Then… who's afraid of whom!
'I'll find Tang Lan tonight and cultivate together again, and ask him about his cultivation insights,' Zhu Zhuqing thought.
Tang Lan saw everyone's fighting spirit and nodded.
He took out the Soul Bone, and that was exactly the effect he wanted.
He wanted everyone to compete, even thinking that Tang San had a good chance.
But in the end… it would definitely be for Zhu Zhuqing.
He could use this to gain system rewards.
Tang Lan made the decision: "Then, after two days of rest..."
"No need!" Zhu Zhuqing refused. "I can start cultivating tomorrow!"
They're already starting to compete with each other.
"I'm giving up my break too, and I'll start training tomorrow!" Dai Mubai followed closely behind.
Oscar, who was just watching, widened his eyes! "Boss Dai!"
Weren't they supposed to... Dai Mubai gave a look of apology.
For a possible Soul Bone, he was going all out!
Oscar pouted but didn't argue.
After all, Soul Bones were rare, especially Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.
Tang San was about to speak up when Tang Lan pressed him down.
"Tomorrow, you're coming with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We're going to discuss the assembly line and the workshops."
Tang San was a little unhappy.
Wouldn't that set him back?
But he knew this was important and could only agree sullenly.
This caused Zhu Zhuqing's lips to curve slightly.
He's helping me, isn't he?
Thinking about it, Tang San's primary methods were still his hidden weapons and the firearms Tang Lan had given him.
But these external items couldn't be used in formal Soul Master competitions.
And besides,
It was just an exchange match; there was no need to use such a powerful weapon.
That white-yellow-purple Blue Silver Grass... Heh! Zhu Zhuqing was only a two-ring Great Soul Master, so her Soul Skills were fewer than Tang San's.
But Tang Lan's level was higher!
As long as they used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Tang Lan, wouldn't it be an instant kill?
As for Dai Mubai...
The same logic applied to Tang San.
But!
Would someone as strong as Zhu Zhuqing place her hopes on others?
Compared to relying on a man, she'd rather rely on her own strength to obtain this Soul Bone!
During this outdoor physical training, I've been using Lingbo Weibu to train, and I leveled up to 29 a month ago.
If I work hard this last month, I might be able to reach level 30 and obtain a soul ring!
Tang San and Dai Mubai's third soul rings were only around 2,000 years old.
But I have whale gelatin plus 1,200 years, and Tang Lan can also help me exceed the limit. If I can also master the Immortality Seal Technique...
"3,500 years isn't out of the question!"
Then the advantage would be huge!
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't wait and went directly to Zhao Wuji.
"Hall Master Zhao, are you free right now?"
The implication couldn't be clearer – they wanted to start extra training immediately!
Zhao Wuji wanted to refuse; he had a lot of things to do.
But then Dai Mubai came over as well.
"Hall Master Zhao, please bear with us for a while. I'll treat you to drinks later," Dai Mubai promised. "Any tavern in Heaven Dou City, you can pick!"
Zhao Wuji gave a wry smile.
Knowing he couldn't refuse, he nodded in agreement.
Tang San immediately said, "Hall Master Zhao, I'm going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with my brother tomorrow. I'll come find you for training when we get back."
"Come on, come on, bring it on." Zhao Wuji was ready to give up. "At worst, I'll activate my soul skills while handling everything!"
Tang Lan, hearing this, immediately laughed and scolded,
"Old Zhao, stop being so indirect. I'll talk to my elder brother later and have someone competent come and assist you."
Zhao Wuji chuckled, scratching his head and playing dumb.
"I didn't mean it that way, but if the Sect Master is willing to look after his subordinates, that's naturally the best, hehehe——"
Tang Lan also found it amusing and didn't continue the topic.
He waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.
Those who needed to train, train; those who needed to rest, rest.
Oscar was in a bit of a bind.
He watched Zhao Wuji and the other two leave, then looked back at his own room.
Everyone his age was working hard and competing, could he really just relax and do nothing?
He had to remember…
Their current team consisted of eight people!
A standard team had seven official members, so the extra person would only be a substitute.
Oscar didn't want to be a substitute.
He sighed,
then gritted his teeth and caught up to Zhao Wuji.
"Instructor Zhao, count me in!"
He watched as Tang Lan's few words managed to stir up everyone's enthusiasm.
Yu Xiaogang felt inferior.
Of course…
The prerequisite for achieving all of this was possessing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
One could only say…
"Sect Master Tang is wealthy and generous. Xiaogang, your decision to stay was the right one," Liu Erlong sighed.
Yu Xiaogang just smiled, neither nodding nor denying.
He stayed not for these "petty gains."
But for…
...
It was the middle of the night.
Zhu Zhuqing dragged her weary body back to her room.
She found Tang Lan there.
Thinking about what had happened last night, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little resistant.
It wasn't that she was against those things, but the timing was off.
She was just wondering how to refuse when she saw Tang Lan step aside, revealing the bathtub behind him, with steam rising from it.
"Training hard is tiring, isn't it? Take a bath and relax," Tang Lan said with a sincere smile.
This made Zhu Zhuqing feel a little guilty.
Such a considerate man, and yet she had misunderstood him...
A few seconds later, looking at Tang Lan still standing there, the gratitude in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes faded, replaced by her usual coldness.
Hmph! Men!
But they had already "cultivated together" last night; she wasn't afraid anymore.
She raised her hand and took off her coat, revealing a black alloy vest.
She had only undone the first button...
"Pop pop pop——"
A row of buttons burst off, and her bust instantly grew a size.
Before Tang Lan could get a good look.
Zhu Zhuqing had already activated her martial soul, discarded her clothes at lightning speed, and slipped into the bath.
Tang Lan only saw a large expanse of white skin and a holy glow.
What a pity, he thought.
Why didn't I activate the two external soul bones on my eyes to increase my dynamic vision!
But it wasn't a big deal.
Tang Lan walked towards the bathtub, a radiant smile on his face. "The water's a little cold. Let me heat it up for you."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say a word.
To Tang Lan, that meant she'd agreed.
Tang Lan quickly stripped off his clothes and entered the bathtub as well.
He used his supremely yang Nine Yang Divine Skill inner energy to slowly warm the water.
At the same time,
A small portion of his Nine Yang Divine Skill inner energy flowed into the water.
Zhu Zhuqing absorbed a small amount of it.
The fatigue in her muscles was noticeably alleviated.
Tang Lan raised his hand in response.
"Let me use my inner strength to massage you. I guarantee you'll be full of energy for training tomorrow!"
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent upon hearing that she would be able to train normally.
And then…
The next day.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had trained the latest the previous night, was the first to arrive at the hotel's training ground.
Looking unconcerned.
Dai Mubai, whose muscles ached, was quite envious.
He wasn't at all surprised.
Before, after every long-distance training session, Tang Lan would use his Nine Yang Divine Skill inner energy to soothe everyone.
The effect was immediate, more dramatic than a medicinal bath.
Otherwise,
even if their willpower could endure the extreme physical training of the past month, their bodies would have collapsed long ago.
Up until now,
Dai Mubai was already a little envious of Zhu Zhuqing, who had found such an outstanding partner...
— When someone surpasses you by a huge margin, it makes it impossible to feel jealous.
Dai Mubai knew his place; he was nothing compared to Tang Lan.
Not to mention, the core of the current situation was still himself, who had chosen to cowardly run away.
This was the retribution he deserved, and he couldn't blame anyone.
I won't run away anymore!
I will definitely go back and reclaim everything I've lost!
Hmm...
Except for Zhu Zhuqing.
Dai Mubai endured the soreness and also threw himself into training.
Tang Lan rarely slept in.
Last night.
In the first half of the night, he massaged Zhu Zhuqing.
In the second half of the night, the recovered Zhu Zhuqing massaged him.
A perfect cycle.
Done.
It was over.
Tang Lan was still being pestered by Zhu Zhuqing, who was asking questions about the cultivation of the Immortality Seal Technique.
He hadn't slept all night.
Although he didn't feel tired, he just wanted to lie down.
Smelling the lingering fragrance of Zhu Zhuqing, he felt very comfortable.
An hour later, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother?" Tang San called softly, "It's time to leave. I still need to get back to training!"
Only then did Tang Lan sit up.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, this gentle place is a hero's grave; it really erodes a person's will."
But when he thought of Zhu Zhuqing's outstanding figure, Tang Lan laughed again.
One must also know how to combine work and rest.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
"Brother?"
"Are you in there?"
Tang San was clearly anxious.
Tang Lan walked over and opened the door.
Before he could say anything,
Tang San had already grabbed his hand and dashed towards the rooftop.
Wait a minute?
The rooftop?
They arrived at the location.
He saw two three-meter-tall golden-winged birds standing on the rooftop, preening their feathers.
Based on their age, they were around 4,000 years old.
It was a gentle flying soul beast, one of the few that wouldn't attack humans on sight.
They didn't eat meat or grass, instead consuming metal to strengthen themselves, especially gold.
However, wild gold mines were difficult to exploit, which made them candidates for human domestication.
But due to their high upkeep and low endurance, they were generally used for short-distance homing pigeons, delivering urgent documents.
They were quite precious.
Who would have thought that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect actually used them as aerial mounts?
They certainly had deep pockets!
In front of the Golden Winged Bird,
two disciples dressed in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's attire respectfully saluted Tang Lan.
"Greetings, Sect Master Tang and Hall Master Tang. The Sect Master has instructed us to receive you both."
"Please, take your seats."
The Golden Winged Bird cooperated by kneeling, revealing the spacious seats on its back.
Tang Lan curiously hopped up.
Confirming that they were seated safely,
the two disciples jumped onto the Golden Winged Bird's neck and patted its head.
The Golden-Winged Bird understood and, with a leap, flapped its wings to fly smoothly, heading outside Heaven Dou City.
Tang Lan and the other person were both Soul Masters, so the biting wind wasn't a big deal.
However, the two disciples from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still summoned their defensive martial souls to block the wind directly.
They each had five soul rings: white, yellow, purple, purple, and purple.
A Soul King with five rings acting as a "driver"?
Truly worthy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
They were enjoying the scenery.
After about half an hour, they arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
It was nestled in a range of mountains, with buildings rising one after another, the prosperity rivaling Heaven Dou City.
The Golden-Winged Bird flew directly over the city gate and landed in an open space.
Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong, along with Sword Douluo Chenxin and Bone Douluo Gurong, were all waiting here.
This was quite the show of importance.
Tang Lan didn't put on any airs.
He hopped off the Golden-Winged Bird and, smiling, reached out to hug Ning Fengzhi.
"Why such a big welcome, old brother? I'm just here to get acquainted."
"Since this is your first time here, younger brother, of course, your elder brother can't be negligent," Ning Fengzhi said with a gentle smile.
He gestured towards Ning Rongrong and Chenxin, then raised his hand, pointing at Gurong.
"Rongrong and Sword Uncle, you already know, younger brother."
"This is another of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's protectors, a Title Douluo of level 95, titled 'Bone'."
Gu Rong's face was withered, his muscles and skin shrunken, his eye sockets deeply sunken.
His physique wasn't the type with extremely bulging muscles, but
