Night falls.
Small dance tent.
On the bed, Tang San gently held Xiao Wu in his arms.
Xiao Wu instinctively resisted, but only trembled slightly before managing to break free from Tang San's embrace.
"Xiao Wu~"
Tang San is as gentle as water.
"Third Brother, I'm sorry."
Xiao Wu's voice was low, "I'm feeling a bit unwell, I feel upset, and I don't want to do that."
"Yeah."
Tang San's voice was devoid of emotion, but he was secretly pleased. He had just been covered in the smell of seafood on Seagod Island, and he was afraid of giving himself away if they were to play a close duo match.
The reason he took the initiative to show off was to avoid arousing Xiao Wu's suspicion. Xiao Wu's unwillingness to play intimately together suited his wishes perfectly.
But he certainly can't show it.
"It's okay."
Tang San said in a low voice, his voice filled with self-reproach, "I am the one who should apologize. I neglected your feelings."
Xiao Wu replied softly.
"It's alright." That was all she said.
Tang San also tacitly remained silent.
Tang San didn't see that Xiao Wu had her back to him, one hand tucked into her bosom, holding a remote control.
On the other side.
Yu Xiaogang returned to his tent.
As Yu Xiaogang approached the door, he still felt uneasy, unsure whether it was because he felt guilty or because of the incident from the previous night. Now that the matter was over, Yu Xiaogang was somewhat hesitant to face Liu Erlong.
With a sigh, Yu Xiaogang still didn't go in.
Yu Xiaogang felt that his mindset was not right and he needed to calm down, so he took a walk around the camp before going back.
"Sigh, let me tell you..."
As he strolled around, Yu Xiaogang noticed that some soldiers were secretly drinking together, but it was no big deal now.
Yu Xiaogang did not intend to investigate further.
Just as they were about to leave, before they could even take a step, they heard a soldier boast, "These days, masters aren't useless anymore; they've already broken through the bottleneck of level thirty-nine."
"What the hell?"
Another soldier clearly didn't believe it. "What nonsense! The master is indeed smart, but everyone in the army knows what kind of mess he is with his soul power level. He still wants to break through to level thirty-nine?"
"You might as well say that Haotian Douluo is your father, and that the Sea God is your half-brother."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A burst of laughter immediately followed.
These people were hiding behind a haystack.
Yu Xiaogang blocked the view and barely managed to see the situation inside. The soldier who spoke first was short.
He directly refuted the claim that the taxi driver was tall and thin.
This creates a contrast.
"Tsk."
The short soldier spoke again.
Why don't you believe me?
The tall, thin man scoffed, "You think you can believe my bragging? How could you possibly know about every little thing happening up there? Even if, even if the master has incredible luck and really broke through the level 39 bottleneck, why would you know?"
"If it were me, I would definitely keep it a secret."
"Who knows when they might try to sabotage you?"
After saying that, he took a swig of wine.
The other soldiers nodded in agreement.
The short guy rolled his eyes. "Damn, do you even know what connections are? I have connections, you know that?"
"Connections, my foot."
Another rough-looking man spoke up, "With connections, how come you ended up here as a lowly soldier?"
"If the sky hadn't fallen and the war hadn't stopped, you might have been killed long ago, and you wouldn't be here bragging."
After the rough man finished speaking, he burst into laughter again.
The short guy was getting a little red-faced, but he still wouldn't admit defeat. "Not all connections are the same."
"What would I do if I tried to fool you?"
I'll just say three words.
"Dragon, Blood, Elixir".
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's spirits lifted.
How did the soldier know?
The firelight flickered on the woodpile.
A dozen soldiers huddled together, holding wine, their faces illuminated by the firelight.
Although they are not exactly the same, they are all filled with vicissitudes.
Judging from their eyes alone, these people were only in their twenties or thirties, yet they looked so weathered and worn.
The cruelty of war was etched directly onto the faces of these soldiers.
The short soldier successfully piqued everyone's curiosity, took a swig of wine, and continued, "To be honest, my great-aunt's brother's best friend's best buddy said..."
"The one with the best sky screen."
"Is his name Zhou Yang correct?"
"He's arrived at our camp, as you know. He gave the master something as soon as he arrived."
"That's a real treasure!"
"It's the Dragon Blood Pill."
After catching his breath, the short soldier launched into another vivid description, explaining the origin and uses of the Dragon Blood Pill, as well as the Dragon Soul Pill and Dragon Bone Pill.
The other soldiers were stunned.
Everyone looked on incredulously.
The most unbelievable thing is Yu Xiaogang.
But the short guy told the story very vividly.
The key point is that everything he said makes sense.
This made it impossible for anyone not to believe it.
He took another swig of wine.
"Tsk~"
The little dwarf shook his head and waved his hand, "Actually, that's not what I wanted to say."
Everyone just listened to him continue bragging.
"You guys think one Dragon Blood Pill is this powerful? If it's this amazing, what if we ate the Dragon Soul Pill and the Dragon Bone Pill too? Holy crap, I can't even imagine how awesome that would be!"
Following the short guy's lead, everyone thought about it and realized that regardless of whether what he said was true or false, if these three things really existed, eating them would definitely make you awesome.
"If you ask me, Master should have taken both that Dragon Soul Pill and that Dragon Bone Pill."
"Isn't Poseidon a disciple of the master? Let Poseidon go to Zhou Yang to ask for it. The reason is very simple: just say that he wants to repay his master's kindness."
"Isn't Zhou Yang a master of reverence? He can definitely understand our Sea God's filial piety."
"At worst, Lord Poseidon can give something in return, such as lending Poseidon Island to Zhou Yang."
"I heard that Zhou Yang is making a huge fuss about starting some kind of long-distance voyage fleet."
"Fancy and gaudy."
"Who cares what he's doing? Isn't he going to build a fleet? He'll definitely need space, so let's have our Sea God give Zhou Yang his Sea God Island and lend it to him."
"Let those three from the Spirit Empire cooperate as well."
"I heard that Empress Bibi Dong of the Spirit Empire, right? Isn't she our Grandmaster's old flame?"
"And then there's Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena, they still have feelings for our Sea God."
"When the master and the sea god work together, they can persuade you with their emotions and reason, and just a few nice words are enough to make a difference."
"Have them cooperate."
"Everyone is willing to give Zhou Yang more resources, right? Give him more territory so he can build that fleet."
"Lord Poseidon also has something to offer."
"I'll make it up to Bibi Dong myself."
"I remember that Lord Sea God used something called something like Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus. It seems to be some kind of hidden weapon. I heard that our Lord Sea God's Tang Clan also has some kind of martial arts."
"Take them all out."
The short guy rattled off quite a bit in one breath.
He took a deep breath.
He took another swig of wine.
"That's the gist of it. After all, the most important thing is to get the Dragon Soul Pill and Dragon Bone Pill into our hands."
"Once the master has eaten everything, won't the Sea God be in charge of things on Seagod Island?"
"To put it bluntly..."
Even if Lord Poseidon turns his back on us.
"What can Zhou Yang do?"
Everyone nodded.
The short guy added another sentence.
"I think my idea is very good."
Then came another swear word.
"Holy shit."
"If he eats this, with Grandmaster's brain, which is already exceptionally sharp, and his soul power level increases further, becoming a Title Douluo is something I can't even imagine."
"There's an absolute chance they could create a godhood."
Do you believe it or not?
After saying all that, there wasn't much else to say, just lots of "Awesome! Holy crap!" and "Holy crap, awesome!"
Yu Xiaogang stopped listening.
Even as I walked back to my tent, the soldiers' conversation was still on my mind; what they said made a lot of sense...
