Yu Xiaogang arrived after Shrek Academy left the Star Dou Great Forest.
Yu Xiaowei remembered this very clearly.
With only ten days left, he thought of a pair of targets he had been planning to recruit recently:
the Peerless Dragon and Snake.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu, a Soul Douluo, and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang, a Soul Emperor.
The two possessed a Spirit Fusion Technique, enough to rival an ordinary Title Douluo.
If they could be recruited into the family, it would be equivalent to adding a Title Douluo-level combatant.
Judging by the time, the Dragon and Snake couple shouldn't have arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest yet.
Yu Xiaowei found the hotel where he had stayed with the Royal Fighting Team and decided to stay there and wait for the Dragon and Snake couple to arrive.
As for causing trouble at Shrek Academy, he wasn't that foolish.
What was the point of going now? Besides getting beaten up by Zhao Wuji, he wouldn't gain anything.
They could enroll, but they couldn't even gather the Seven Devils, and they didn't have any immortal herbs. With Shrek Academy's useless teaching level, what good would it do?
Now that he thought about it, Tang San and the others should have already completed their enrollment and were probably enduring Flander's torture.
Thinking of Flander's training methods, Yu Xiaowei couldn't help but laugh.
What utter garbage!
Besides shuttle runs, it was all about making money for him at the Soul Arena.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy was actually quite responsible for the students' safety, he would have really thought Flander built the academy just to scam money.
But right now, he needed to deal with Yu Xiaogang's matter first.
Damn it, if this guy wasn't his own cousin, and his uncle and older brother weren't so good to him,
Yu Xiaowei would have really wanted to bury him alive.
The hotel was unusually noisy under the night sky.
Besides merchants, the people coming and going were Soul Masters who risked their lives.
Besides gold Soul Coins, their favorite thing to do was drink and gamble in the hotel.
Students from academies were extremely rare here; apart from advanced Soul Master academies, teachers from elementary academies weren't qualified to bring students here to hunt Soul Rings.
Therefore, in this small town, the business of armor, weapons, various antidotes, and recovery potions was exceptionally booming.
Yu Xiaowei, finding the place too noisy, went for a stroll.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the Spirit Hall branch.
He stopped at the entrance, looking at the three large characters of "Spirit Hall," feeling somewhat sentimental.
To be honest, Yu Xiaowei didn't actually harbor any ill will towards the Spirit Hall.
On the contrary, he was full of malice towards the nobles.
The reason he was infamous in Heaven Dou City was because he had beaten up nobles countless times.
He had practically beaten every noble's child, including Xue Beng, to the ground countless times.
Because of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation, the nobles could only
swallow their anger. As for the reason for his beatings, it was because the nobles oppressed commoners.
No, it wasn't just oppressing commoners;
they treated them like dirt. The Spirit Hall would give spirit masters gold spirit coins, although under the guise of subsidies from the Empire. But thinking about it, if the Empire were to give them gold spirit coins, would they?
Considering the despicable nature of those nobles, Yu Xiaowei regretfully came to a conclusion:
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
From royalty to nobility, to consolidate their rule, they were eager to bring all Soul Masters under their control.
Commoners, in their eyes, were meant to be dogs.
As for awakening Martial Souls for commoners?
Absolutely not.
Without the Spirit Hall, let alone the problem of commoners awakening Martial Souls, all Soul Masters would become the private soldiers of the empire and sects; there would be no more free Soul Masters.
Yu Xiaowei from Blue Star was particularly disgusted by this feudal autocratic system.
However, the Spirit Hall was destined to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Therefore, they were inevitably placed on opposite sides.
If only there were a way to allow the Spirit Hall to coexist peacefully without opposing his family.
"Sigh."
Looking at the gates of the Spirit Hall branch, Yu Xiaowei sighed heavily, "The task is arduous and the road ahead is long."
The
branch hall gates creaked open, and a tall, thin old man, as sharp as a javelin, walked out chatting and laughing with several young men.
Suddenly, he stopped speaking and stared intently at Yu Xiaowei.
The young men around the old man looked at him strangely, wondering why this kind bishop was staring at the boy across the street like that.
After recognizing the familiar face emerging from the branch hall, Yu Xiaowei couldn't help but take two steps back.
o(Д)っ!
Holy crap, isn't that Salas?!
"Young man from the Yu family, long time no see."
Hearing Salas's sinister voice, Yu Xiaowei turned and ran.
He now retracted his earlier assessment of the Spirit Hall; those bastards, just destroy them.
Strangely, Salas didn't chase him, but stood at the entrance of the Spirit Hall, staring intently at his retreating figure.
Yu Xiaowei, who had fled back to the hotel in a panic, patted his chest, still shaken.
He never expected to run into Salas, that honey badger, here.
This guy had been thoroughly humiliated by Dugu Bo, then turned into a statue and made to kneel before the gates of Heaven Dou City. Forget about
revenge
. When
Yu Yuanzhen, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo joined forces and smashed down three gates of the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall didn't even dare utter a sound before transferring him away.
Damn it, how did he end up here?
This time, Dugu Bo wasn't there to save him; if Salas wanted to capture him, he was truly doomed.
Knock, knock, knock—
a knock came at the door.
"Who is it?"
Yu Xiaowei immediately tensed up.
"It's me, Yu family brat."
Sure enough, it was that old bastard Salas. Yu Xiaowei immediately prepared to jump out the window and run away.
"Young man from the Yu family, I'm not here to arrest you, I just want to have a chat. Don't be afraid."
With that, without any movement at the door, a figure appeared in the room.
Yu Xiaowei, who had just stepped onto the windowsill, withdrew his foot. The person was already inside; why run? He didn't think he could outrun a top-tier Soul Douluo.
Salas sat down on the sofa as if they were old friends, then beckoned to him.
Seeing Yu Xiaowei standing motionless by the window, Salas didn't force him to come over, but instead spoke to himself.
"Young man of the Yu family, you are outstanding, so outstanding that I still have the urge to bring you to the Spirit Hall."
"It's a pity that those three old fogies stand behind you, letting such a brilliant talent be tarnished."
"You don't need to be so afraid of me. Since His Holiness the Pope has already issued the decree, I won't touch you anymore."
"But there are some things I've been holding back, and I have to get them off my chest."
"Kid, back then, Dugu Bo humiliated me, and your elders even caused me to be exiled to this desolate wilderness."
"It's impossible not to feel angry."
"But His Holiness the Pope's words have calmed my anger."
"Kid, do you know what he said?"
Yu Xiaowei shook his head.
Salas chuckled and pointed in the direction of Heaven Dou City, speaking calmly.
"Faced with absolute power, your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is nothing but trash."
"We, the Spirit Hall, truly don't take the Upper Three Sects seriously."
"The reason we're backing down now isn't because we're cowardly, but because His Majesty wants to protect this old man."
"So, kid, don't be too arrogant, or one day you'll cross my line, and I'll skin you alive."
