Chapter 31: Tang San and Xiao Wu Are Captured—Yu Xiaogang Gets Beaten!
At the summit above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Dugu Bo, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing stood there side by side.
All three of their gazes were fixed on Wang Li, who stood beside the spring.
"This kid…"
Before Dugu Bo could finish his sentence, Wang Li—standing right next to the spring—leapt straight into the water!
"Hey! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
"Even this old man, a Titled Douluo, doesn't dare touch that spring lightly, and you—!"
Dugu Bo completely lost it, pointing at Wang Li and shouting.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were pale with tension, their eyes locked tightly on Wang Li.
If anything were to happen to him, the two of them had no desire to go on living either.
At that moment, something astonishing happened before their eyes!
The once-calm Ice and Fire spring began to boil violently the instant Wang Li entered it.
The ice spring and the fire spring erupted as if volcanoes had exploded.
In an instant, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was flooded by the two springs, leaving no space at all for plants to grow.
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, his mouth hanging slightly open as he tried—and failed—to speak.
In the blink of an eye, all those precious medicinal herbs were gone?
There were many plants here that even he couldn't identify.
Yet, just a few of them had already brought him immense benefits—benefits that could even be described as life-saving grace.
"If you were going to make such a huge commotion, couldn't you at least harvest the herbs first?!"
"You prodigal brat!!"
Then Dugu Bo remembered—he had already given this place to Wang Li.
Whatever Wang Li did here had nothing to do with him anymore.
But still… It hurts!
This scene had appeared in the simulator before.
It was almost the same as when the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had "offered a sacrifice."
What puzzled the Water and Fire Dragon Kings was this: how did this human possess their "divine rings"?
They were on the verge of dissipating. Although they didn't understand Wang Li's true situation, since he had come here and possessed their divine rings as well as part of their inheritance…
They might as well pass everything on to him.
At the same time—
Outside Suo Tuo City, at Shrek Academy.
Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and two Hall Elders arrived at the location.
They observed the surroundings in secret.
Before long, they were able to confirm one thing.
That mysterious letter was completely reliable!
"A hundred-thousand-year Soft-Bone Rabbit in human form… Could she be the one who slipped through the net back then?"
How could there be so many hundred-thousand-year Soft-Bone Rabbits in this world?
The probability that Xiao Wu was the survivor from back then was extremely high.
"Whether she is or not doesn't matter. Capture her first."
"Tang Hao should be lurking in the shadows. We must catch the Soft-Bone Rabbit and Tang San in one move, before he can react."
Bibi Dong said solemnly.
After all, Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo.
Moreover, when he had just broken through to that realm, he had faced three Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall alone—killing one and severely injuring the other two.
Hearing this, the four had no objections and immediately nodded.
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo would capture Xiao Wu.
The two Elders would make a move against Tang San.
As for Bibi Dong, she would remain hidden, keeping a close watch on Tang Hao and preventing him from rescuing Tang San and Xiao Wu at any moment.
Bibi Dong had her reasons for assigning Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo to Xiao Wu.
What she wanted was simply the hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone.
The four Titled Douluo erupted with their power almost simultaneously, their overwhelming presence enveloping the entire Shrek Academy.
The terrifying pressure made Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others tremble uncontrollably.
Zhao Wuji, Flender, and the rest all changed expressions, immediately turning to look in the direction the pressure came from.
Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao was filled with rage. He never imagined that several Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall would actually appear at Shrek Academy!
Could it be because of Yu Xiaogang?
The past between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong was no secret to Tang Hao.
It was precisely because of this that he had agreed to let Tang San take Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.
Only Yu Xiaogang possessed the secret of adding soul rings to a second martial soul!
One side came prepared; the other merely watched casually.
By the time Tang San and Xiao Wu were captured, Tang Hao finally revealed himself.
He held the massive Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—nine soul rings rose rapidly from beneath his feet, displaying the terrifying might of a Titled Douluo.
A hundred-thousand-year soul ring was something not every Titled Douluo possessed.
Xiao Wu was held by the Chrysanthemum Douluo. As if she had realized something, her face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled violently.
It was over. This time, she was truly finished.
She couldn't understand how these two Titled Douluo had known she was here.
Tang San, meanwhile, was being strangled by one of the Elders. He glared fiercely at him, unable to utter a single word.
The gap was simply too vast.
He also couldn't understand why these Titled Douluo were targeting him and Xiao Wu.
When Tang Hao appeared, Tang San's eyes filled with confusion.
His father… was actually a Titled Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?
Could it be that these four Titled Douluo were all enemies of his father, Tang Hao?
Unable to defeat Tang Hao directly, they chose to use him and Xiao Wu as leverage.
"You are courting death!!"
Tang Hao roared and was about to strike.
What awaited him was—
"Sixth Soul Skill: Spatial Rending Abyss Slash!"
Bibi Dong instantly completed her martial soul possession, launching a killing blow from the shadows!
If Tang Hao were to be hit by this attack, survival would be almost impossible!
At the critical moment—
A furious roar rang out.
"Bibi Dong, how dare you!!"
Perhaps because of that voice, Tang Hao was able to prepare himself.
Or perhaps hearing that voice caused Bibi Dong's attack to hesitate slightly.
Tang Hao, who should not have been able to evade the strike, somehow managed to dodge it.
A nearby building was instantly split in two, the cut filled with dark-green poison.
"Yu Xiaogang…"
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo recognized him. They glanced at Yu Xiaogang, then at Bibi Dong, whose sneak attack had failed, deep in thought.
Her Holiness's strike… should not have missed.
The two Elders, however, did not recognize Yu Xiaogang.
They were none other than the Sixth and Seventh Elders of the Douluo Hall.
Fifteen Ton Douluo and Demon Suppressing Douluo.
Demon Suppressing Douluo continued holding Tang San, while Fifteen Ton Douluo glared at Yu Xiaogang, still failing to recognize him.
He appeared before Yu Xiaogang almost instantly, his right hand swinging toward Yu Xiaogang's left cheek.
Pa!
Yu Xiaogang's head snapped to the side as he was sent flying.
Spinning two and a half times in midair, he spat out seven or eight teeth before crashing heavily onto the ground.
"You wretch—how dare you ruin our plans!"
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo exchanged a glance, their bodies shuddering.
As expected of Fifteen Ton Douluo!
They wouldn't dare slap Yu Xiaogang—unless Her Holiness wasn't present.
Didn't you see how dark Her Holiness's face had become?
Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly. A strange emotion flashed through her eyes as she stared coldly at Fifteen Ton Douluo.
As if her target at that moment was no longer Tang Hao, but Fifteen Ton Douluo himself.
"This old bastard… truly deserves to die!"
She didn't check on Yu Xiaogang's injuries, yet she could clearly sense that he hadn't suffered any internal damage.
Zhao Wuji, Flender, and the others stood far in the distance.
A battle of this level was something they had no right to participate in.
If they stepped in, they would only become cannon fodder.
