Chapter 147: The Method of Using Cheats, Trip to Sotou City
"If you can truly restore the dark attribute to your Netherworld Cat Martial Soul and bring it back into the ranks of top tier Martial Souls, then you will become a great contributor to the Zhu family. Your status will instantly surpass your sister's, and you can be directly removed from the bloody competition. No matter what the final outcome of the competition is, it will not affect you in any way."
Yu Tianlin spoke slowly, his tone steady.
If Zhu Zhuqing could really reach that level, she would be like Ning Rongrong in the original work, the one who evolved her martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. She would become her family's hope, and her standing would naturally rise at once. Even if the competition involved the Star Luo royal family, the Zhu family would still pull Zhu Zhuqing out of it.
By the same logic, if Dai Mubai could regain his own light attribute, he would directly win the competition.
What should I do?
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. She had been crushed under her family's bloody competition for so long that the moment she heard there might be a way to break free, excitement surged through her like never before.
"How would I know?" Yu Tianlin chuckled. "I haven't specifically studied your Zhu family's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, so of course I don't know how to fix it. I'm only telling you this much. The solution is something you have to find yourself."
The Dai and Zhu families had existed for countless years. They must have realized long ago that something was wrong with their attributes. They would have tried to solve it too, yet they had obviously failed every single time. That alone proved it was not as simple as just patching up what was missing.
Of course, even though he said he did not know, Yu Tianlin actually had ways, more than 1. But he had only met Zhu Zhuqing today and was not familiar with her at all. Why would he reveal everything and help her solve it so easily?
"So you don't know either…"
Zhu Zhuqing froze, like someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over her. The light in her eyes dimmed, and disappointment quickly surfaced.
"Don't worry. My second uncle will be coming to Shrek Academy in a few days." Seeing her expression, Yu Tianlin felt a little guilty and tried to comfort her. "My second uncle is Yu Xiaogang. He's a very famous figure in the Spirit Master world and is respected as a master. He has a deep understanding of all kinds of martial souls. Maybe he can help you."
Could Yu Xiaogang really solve this?
Yu Tianlin was not optimistic. Even with his vast knowledge, reaching this level would be difficult. More importantly, if Yu Xiaogang could solve it, he should have done so in the original story. The fact that he never did suggested he could not handle it either.
Zhu Zhuqing had calmed down a lot. She bowed deeply to Yu Tianlin, her voice sincere.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you for telling me all this."
"No need to thank me. It's not some secret. Your Zhu family should have records of it too." Yu Tianlin waved his hand. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going. Think about it carefully."
After speaking, he turned and left, heading back to his room to rest.
Zhu Zhuqing watched him go, staring until his figure disappeared completely into the darkness. Only then did she finally snap back to herself.
She raised her right hand in a grasping motion, as if trying to seize the darkness of the night itself, and murmured softly, "Netherworld Cat, dark attribute…"
Leaving Zhu Zhuqing to her thoughts, Yu Tianlin returned to his room. Rarely, he did not cultivate his Spirit Power. Instead, he chose to sleep. Balance mattered, and he had not enjoyed a proper night's rest in a long time.
With no disturbances, Yu Tianlin slept soundly until dawn. After washing up, he ate the 2 meat pies he had saved for breakfast, then stepped out.
According to his plan, he was going to Sotou City today to do some serious shopping, mainly to buy a large amount of meat.
The moment he left his room, Yu Tianlin spotted Tang San and Xiao Wu taking a walk not far away. He walked over to greet them and asked about Xiao Wu's condition.
"I'm fine. I'm almost fully recovered," Xiao Wu said. "I heard from Xiao San that you successfully helped us pass the entrance exam yesterday. Thank you so much."
"There's nothing to thank me for." Yu Tianlin shook his head, refusing to take credit. "You all helped me too, holding Teacher Zhao back for a crucial moment. Besides, you were recommended by my second uncle, so you would have joined Shrek Academy sooner or later anyway."
He glanced at them and asked, "But didn't Senior Flander tell you to gather on the playground this morning? Why do you both look so free right now?"
"Although we gathered this morning, there were no classes." Tang San continued calmly. "Dean Flander just told us to pay our tuition. As for class time, he scheduled it for the evening and told us to rest well and recharge for now."
Then Tang San added, "However, Ning Rongrong and Oscar, the 2 support type Spirit Masters, were assigned a task by Dean Flander. They have to run around the village for 20 laps."
Hearing that, Yu Tianlin nodded in understanding.
That evening, they would go to the Soul Arena for actual combat. As for Oscar and Ning Rongrong, they were both support type Spirit Masters and did not need to participate in the Spirit Battle, so Flander sent them to run. He also intended to use this chance to give Ning Rongrong a hard lesson and curb that arrogant young lady attitude of hers.
Xiao Wu could not help asking, "Yu Tianlin, do you know what our class is about? Why is it scheduled for the evening?"
"You 2 should get some rest." Yu Tianlin did not explain it outright and only gave a simple hint. "As far as I know, Senior Flander will arrange real combat for you tonight."
After speaking, he turned and continued on his way, focusing on his own business.
Coincidentally, Yu Tianlin had not gone far from Shrek Academy when he spotted Ning Rongrong. However, Oscar was nowhere to be seen.
Ning Rongrong was running, yet she was not circling the village at all. Her direction was clearly toward Soto City.
Sure enough, it was unrealistic to expect a young lady from a wealthy family to obediently run 20 laps. On top of that, the food at Shrek Academy was so bad that she probably could not stand it. So she decided to slip away to Soto City for some fun.
But this was exactly what Flander wanted.
He was definitely planning to use this opportunity to teach her a lesson.
Yu Tianlin was not far from Ning Rongrong now, and he had already sensed 2 pairs of eyes watching him. One was obviously from Ning Rongrong's guards, and the other was naturally from Flander.
