"Brother Wei, you're my brother—my real brother! I've already done exactly what you asked. When are you going to help me put on this act?"
At the entrance to Lanba Academy, Feng Xiaotian was chattering nonstop as he chased after Yu Xiaowei, drawing a crowd of students who were pointing and whispering.
The day before yesterday, after Feng Xiaotian went to the Soul Hall in Tiandou City to report Tang San, he couldn't wait to come find Yu Xiaowei.
But no matter how long he waited—he waited all day—he didn't see a trace of Yu Xiaowei.
When he asked students at Lanba Academy, no one knew where Yu Xiaowei was, so he simply camped out at the academy's entrance all day.
So this morning, the moment he spotted Yu Xiaowei, his eyes lit up with a green glow, and he chased after Yu Xiaowei relentlessly like a starving wolf.
"Bro Wei, my informant at Blazing Fire Academy says Sister Huowu is already Level 40 and is planning to set out for the Soul Ring Hunt in the next few days."
"This is a golden opportunity!"
"Bro Wei, when are you going to help me pull off this plan? Once this chance is gone, it's gone for good."
Hearing the nagging behind him and seeing the trainees pointing and whispering, Yu Xiaowei's temples throbbed violently.
This guy wasn't like this back on the Battle Soul Stage—why does he lose all dignity the moment Huo Wu's name comes up?
If Feng Xiaotian were in his Soul Beast-possessed state right now, everyone would probably be able to see his wildly wagging wolf tail.
"A suck-up won't get the girl."
After muttering a curse under her breath in Blue Star language, Yu Xiaowei began to mull over the script she'd prepared for Feng Xiaotian.
Actually, Feng Xiaotian's original script wasn't half bad.
But the problem was that Huo Wu had seen him before. Even though he hadn't revealed his Martial Soul at the time, his voice and build would still make him easily recognizable.
Plus, he didn't know when to hold back. Feng Xiaotian's idea of playing the hero to save a damsel in distress was all well and good, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would end up just beating the guy to a pulp instead.
After mentally running through the script he'd prepared, Yu Xiaowei spoke up and asked.
"When is Huo Wu going to hunt for Soul Rings?"
Hearing Yu Xiaowei finally speak, Feng Xiaotian's face immediately lit up with joy, and he hurriedly replied.
"It's set for three days from now, in Sunset Forest."
"Alright, that works."
Feng Xiaotian immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
He'd been worried that Yu Xiaowei would back out and refuse to help him, but now that he'd finally received a definite answer, he could put his mind at ease.
"In three days, come find me at Lanba Academy. I'll go with you guys."
"Got it, Brother Wei."
Feng Xiaotian left with a beaming smile. Watching his figure fade away, Yu Xiaowei let out a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
The Soul Hall has found out that Tang San is Tang Hao's son.
Great! Just great!
...
In the pitch-black little room.
Tang San was so hungry he was feeling a bit dizzy and his vision was blurring; he was scribbling something haphazardly on a piece of paper.
His hands had gone numb, and he had no idea how many characters he'd written—but he was certain it was definitely less than 100,000.
Fortunately, someone came by every day to bring him water; otherwise, having gone three days without food or water, he would likely have been on the verge of death.
And that damn Yu Xiaowei wouldn't even let him sleep—as soon as he dozed off, Yu Tianheng would bang on the door to wake him up.
Thankfully, he had cultivated the Purple Extreme Demon Eye, giving him mental strength far surpassing that of an ordinary Soul Venerable; otherwise, after three days and three nights without food or sleep, he would already be on the verge of collapse.
"Sigh, I really want some spicy rabbit heads."
Tang San let out a soft sigh; he was so hungry he could barely hold on any longer.
Outside the small dark room, Yu Xiaowei listened quietly for a while to the sounds coming from inside.
Although the sound of the pen gliding across the paper was somewhat erratic, it was merely a bit unsteady—not to the point of being feeble. It seemed that Tang San's current physical and mental condition was still passable.
He should be able to hold out for another two days.
After patting Yu Tianheng on the shoulder and entrusting him with everything regarding the "little black room," Yu Xiaowei turned and left.
The Soul Hall was on its way—it was time to cast his net!
Originally, he had planned to wait until that Soul Fighter from the Seven Treasures Glass Sect reached Level 90 before making his move.
But now time is running out—that single glance Dugu Bo cast at Xiao Wu earlier has ultimately backfired.
This 100,000-year-old rabbit was spooked; if it weren't for Yu Xiaowei throwing a rabbit meat feast and starving her for several days, she'd probably have already made a run for it by now.
On top of that, he had to factor in Tang Hao's combat prowess—the longer this dragged on, the riskier it became.
So he decided to act early; only by capturing Xiao Wu and keeping her in his own hands would he be safe.
If his plan succeeded, Tang Hao would absolutely be incapable of retaliating afterward, allowing him to wait with complete peace of mind for that Soul Douluo to reach Level 90.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo—who rarely paid visits—were now standing alongside Yu Yuan Zhen, all gazing at the flashy young man in the hall.
After staring at the young man's long hair for quite a while, Gu Rong rubbed his own bald head and couldn't help but speak up first.
"You? Are you Dugu Bo?"
"Mm-hmm."
Dugu Bo tilted his chin up smugly.
Yu Yuan Zhen, who was usually as calm as a still pond in front of outsiders, could not hide his surprise as he said,
"He really is Dugu Bo. Back in his youth, this guy was just as famous as Luo Mian as the 'Prince of Nightclubs.' I saw that face quite a few times back when I used to drag Luo Mian home."
Gu Rong's eyes immediately lit up. He rushed over to Dugu Bo, slung his arm around his shoulder, and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Dugu, how did you grow this hair? I've tried every herb under the sun, yet I still can't grow a single strand of hair."
"Ask your grandson-in-law. If it weren't for him, I'd still be as bald as a cue ball, just like you!"
"Xiao Wei? Did Xiao Wei help you with your hair?"
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Gu Rong was overjoyed.
Just like Dugu Bo, he'd been troubled by his bald head for quite some time. Since his grandson-in-law had this ability, why should he worry about not regaining that handsome look with his long, flowing hair?
"Uncle, Uncle Ning, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, Senior Dugu—sorry I'm late."
No sooner had they mentioned Yu Xiaowei than the five of them saw him walk in through the door with a scroll tucked under his arm.
Gu Rong immediately greeted him with a cheerful smile.
"My dear grandson-in-law, come sit here with Grandpa."
Yu Yuan Zhen glanced at him and snorted in displeasure, but he said nothing. Instead, he looked at Yu Xiao Wei and asked.
"Xiao Wei, what important matter has brought the five of us together?"
"Could it be that the Soul Fighter from the Seven Treasures Glass Sect has already broken through to Level 90?"
Ning Fengzhi immediately frowned and said.
"No, that's not the case. It'll take Lin Li at least another half a year to break through—and that's assuming our entire sect's resources are focused on him."
"Elders, please hear me out first."
"We now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—someone is willing to step in and help us deal with Tang Hao first, so I've decided to begin the plan to capture 100,000-year-old soul beasts ahead of schedule."
Yu Xiaowei's words instantly took the five of them by surprise.
Who on earth would be so kind as to help them take on Tang Hao?
It wasn't that they lacked confidence; it was simply that Tang Hao's track record was far too impressive.
Even if the five of them were as confident as could be, facing a Titled Douluo with such terrifying offensive power, they couldn't help but worry that some unexpected complications might arise.
Yu Xiaowei smiled as he looked at them, unfolding the map of Tiandou City on the table.
"In about a day or two, our kind-hearted friends will be here."
"Elders, let's first assign the routes for intercepting the soul beasts."
"Then we'll draw up a detailed plan to ensure we can secure the 100,000-year-old soul beast without offending the Haotian Sect or that kind-hearted person."
