Chapter 178: Returning to the Clan, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger
For the next 2 weeks, the Royal Fighting Team continued their team battles at the Suotuo Grand Arena. They defeated every Spirit Master team in the arena, winning without a single loss.
Suotuo City was their final stop. With their goals achieved, the Royal Fighting Team prepared to return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Before they left, Qin Ming disappeared for a time. None of the Huang Dou members knew where he went. Yu Tianlin did not know either, but he could guess. Qin Ming had likely gone to Shrek Academy to visit his former teachers.
Not long after, Qin Ming returned. The Emperor Team members immediately surrounded him and asked where he had been, but Qin Ming kept his mouth shut and did not reveal a thing.
With everyone gathered, it was time to depart. Yu Tianlin said goodbye to each of them in turn. When it came to Ye Lingling, she was clearly reluctant to part. Yu Tianlin could only comfort her, telling her they would meet again soon.
Now that the Royal Fighting Team was returning to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianlin also wanted to return to his clan.
His mission was already complete. He had successfully persuaded Yu Xiaogang, and he needed to report that news to his grandfather as soon as possible so the old man could finally be at ease. Besides, Yu Tianlin had already become familiar with the Shrek Seven Devils. There was no real reason to stay longer.
After making up his mind, Yu Tianlin informed them. He first thanked Flander for providing lodging, then said goodbye to everyone and set a departure time.
However, on the night before he was due to leave, someone knocked on his door.
"Hmm? Zhu Zhuqing." Yu Tianlin guessed the visitor's identity and said, "Is there something you need so late? Come in."
As soon as he spoke, Zhu Zhuqing pushed the door open and stepped inside. She looked at Yu Tianlin with a slightly strange gaze, as if asking, How did you know it was me?
"I knew right away." Sensing what she meant, Yu Tianlin smiled. "When others come to see me, I hear their footsteps first, then the knock. But you're an agility type attacker, you always subconsciously hide your footsteps. That's different from everyone else, so it was easy to guess."
"Go ahead. What is it that brings you here so late?" Yu Tianlin said. "I'm leaving tomorrow. If you have something to say, say it now. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't get another chance."
Even as he said that, Yu Tianlin knew they would meet again. After all, the Shrek Seven Devils would soon head to Heaven Dou City, and he would be there.
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated at first, but after hearing his words, she finally spoke.
"After losing to your elder brother and the others last time, Master went to see Dai Mubai and me."
"He said that if Dai Mubai and I use our Martial Soul Fusion Technique, we have a very high chance of winning that battle."
"I see." Yu Tianlin immediately understood. That was exactly the kind of conclusion his second uncle would draw. He nodded. "The Netherworld White Tiger is indeed a very powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill. But from your expression, you don't seem willing."
"That's right." Zhu Zhuqing lightly bit her lip. "Why is it that no matter how hard I try, I still can't compete with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? It feels like my only purpose is to help Dai Mubai use the Netherworld White Tiger."
So that was it. She did not want to become a tool for someone else's Martial Soul Fusion Technique. That fit Zhu Zhuqing's stubborn pride perfectly.
After understanding her meaning, Yu Tianlin said calmly, "If you don't want to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Dai Mubai, then refuse. You have no obligation to do it, and no one can force you. This kind of thing can't be forced. My second uncle was only making a suggestion."
"Spirit compatibility is only the foundation for a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. What truly matters is mutual recognition in the heart. Without that, it's impossible to perform it."
To put it simply, the Dai family had many White Tiger Martial Souls, and the Zhu family had many Netherworld Cat Martial Souls. It was obviously impossible to randomly pick 2 people and have them fuse.
That was why the 2 families had maintained marriage ties for generations. As husband and wife, they naturally recognized each other, making the fusion possible.
"I simply can't accept it." Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath. "I don't want to become strong through a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I only want to become strong through my own strength."
"Alright." Seeing how firm she was, Yu Tianlin thought for a moment, then decided to tell her something. "Since you're so determined, I'll tell you a secret."
"In this world, there is a special Spirit Beast called the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. If you can absorb its Spirit Ring, you will definitely gain enormous benefits."
"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" Zhu Zhuqing repeated the name, confusion in her eyes. "I don't think I've ever heard of it."
"As for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, you can ask my second uncle. He should know something." Yu Tianlin hesitated, then added, "You can also ask Xiao Wu. Ask her privately. She knows more, but she might pretend not to."
"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger…" Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Alright. I'll remember it. I'll ask Master and Xiao Wu later."
"Thank you, Yu Tianlin."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
"Wait." Yu Tianlin suddenly called out. "The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is extremely dangerous. Its methods are even more terrifying than those of a 100,000 year Spirit Beast. If you're hit by its attack, you will almost certainly die. You must be careful."
"Also, after you kill it, the Origin Pearl inside its body will escape. It will tear through space to flee. If you're fast enough, you can intercept the Origin Pearl. That thing is precious. If you swallow it, you'll gain a huge reward."
"Thank you for the reminder." Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly to show she understood, then left Yu Tianlin's room.
"I wonder if she can succeed." Watching her back, Yu Tianlin fell into thought. "If she really can, that would be incredible."
"Forget it. Time to rest. I'm returning to the clan tomorrow."
Even though Yu Tianlin had pointed Zhu Zhuqing in a direction, it was still far too early for her.
In the original story, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had around 60,000 years of cultivation when it appeared. Even if it appeared 10 years earlier, its cultivation would not be much lower.
