Chapter 4 You don't want to spend your whole life without finding twin martial souls, do you?
"Master, I have seen twin martial souls."
These words were like a precise sniper bullet, banging and interrupting Yu Xiaogang's steady pace.
The figure in the simple gray robe didn't turn around immediately. Instead, it seemed to be glued to the spot by some invisible glue. The previously relaxed muscles on its shoulders instantly tightened, like two stiff stones.
It became.
The little voice in Li Fulan's mind whistled.
This old fellow's weakness is easier to find than the blue silver grass in this forest.
Yu Xiaogang turned around very slowly, as if he were winding up a rusty machine. His perpetually expressionless, zombie-like face, though he tried his best to maintain the so-called demeanor of a master, was betrayed by his right hand, which was tightly gripping the hem of his sleeve.
That hand was even trembling slightly.
"What...did you say?"
His voice was dry, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together, and the condescending, lecturing tone he had just spoken of was completely gone.
"I said, I've seen twin martial souls." Li Fulan repeated, his tone as relaxed as if to say, "Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you, 'They're alive, and they're near this Notting City.'"
In the command center, Commissioner Lin adjusted his glasses and whispered into the microphone, "Detected. The other party's heart rate is soaring. Li Fulan, name your price now."
Of course, Li Fulan knew she had to set a price.
His gaze, undisguised, was fixed on the belt around Yu Xiaogang's waist, which was inlaid with twenty-four jade stones, like that of a greedy robber.
"But I don't want to say it for nothing."
He pointed to the belt.
"This thing looks pretty good, perfect for a lazy person like me who doesn't like carrying a bag when I go out. Master, let's trade it for this."
Yu Xiaogang looked down in the direction of his finger, and his face immediately darkened.
"You want my soul tool?"
He let out a cold laugh, and that arrogant air of someone in a superior position returned.
"Young man, do you know what this is? It's a top-tier storage soul tool, extremely rare in the world. Even a Title Douluo might not possess a spatial device of this quality. Do you really think it's worth this price just because of your words and unverified information?"
"You've got the wrong person if you think you can get something for nothing."
After saying that, he turned around again, this time with a much more resolute gesture, as if he really intended to leave.
"Oh dear, what a pity."
Li Fulan stood still, only sighing in a regretful voice that the other party could hear clearly.
"I thought that the famous theoretical master was willing to pay any price to prove his 'Ten Core Competencies' and to take revenge on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family that kicked you out like trash."
This time, Yu Xiaogang stopped even more violently than before.
He turned around abruptly, his face, which had been somewhat ashen due to years of frustration and unfulfilled ambitions, now flushed bright red, and the veins on his forehead throbbed like earthworms.
"What...what did you say?!"
Did I say something wrong?
Li Fulan took two steps forward, approaching the level 29 Great Soul Master.
Although he was of lower rank than his opponent, in terms of presence and control of the script, he was like a judge holding the Book of Life and Death.
"Because his martial soul mutated into a farting pig, oh no, Luo Sanpao. A direct descendant of the dignified Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was unable to break through level 30 in his entire life. He was regarded as a disgrace by the clan, expelled, ridiculed, and looked down upon by everyone."
With each word he spoke, Yu Xiaogang's breathing quickened, and his usually scrutinizing eyes were now filled with shame, anger, and fury at having his wounds exposed.
"Enough! Shut up!"
He let out a low roar, and the two pitiful yellow soul rings around his body lit up, unleashing a powerful soul force aura belonging to a Great Soul Master towards Li Fulan.
"If you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame me for being impolite! The dignity of a Great Soul Master is not something a brat with only ten-year soul rings like you can trample on!"
Faced with the threat, Li Fulan not only did not back down, but smiled even more brightly.
He's gambling.
Gamble. This man's desire for success overwhelmed his pitiful pride.
"Killing me is easy, Master." Li Fulan pointed to his neck, "but killing me will sever the only clue to the twin martial souls in this world."
"Do you really want to take your theories to your grave?"
"Don't you really want to show those old fogies from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex that even a piece of trash can cultivate a god-level powerhouse who will shake the ages?"
"All you need is a soul tool."
Li Fulan's voice became low and seductive, like a devil's whisper in one's ear.
"This thing is an inanimate object. No matter how precious it is, can it help you prove your theory? Can it help you slap your family in the face? It can't. But that child can."
"An inanimate object, in exchange for an opportunity to make your name go down in history."
"Master, even a fool could figure this out, right?"
The flickering light of soul power on Yu Xiaogang's body was an external manifestation of his intense inner struggle.
He hesitated.
He was weighing his options.
That belt was his collection of many years, a testament to his travels across the mainland, and priceless.
but……
If we don't switch, what if what this kid says is true?
What if there really is a genius with twin martial souls nearby, and I miss out because I'm stingy with an external possession?
The thought of the regret that would accompany him for a lifetime was suffocating for Yu Xiaogang.
If he could cultivate a disciple with twin martial souls, who in the entire soul master world would dare to call him a waste? Who would dare to ridicule his theories as mere empty talk?
Finally, the two yellow spirit rings dimmed.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to have all his strength drained away, and his originally straight back hunched slightly.
With trembling hands, he untied the "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon" brocade belt that had been with him for many years.
He showed no reluctance whatsoever, or rather, he dared not show any reluctance, for fear of changing his mind.
He suddenly raised his hand and threw the belt at Li Fulan.
"Take it!"
Li Fulan caught it steadily; it felt warm to the touch, and the jade was slightly cool.
This is the key to the door of the "two-way reseller".
"You'd better pray you're not lying to me." Yu Xiaogang stared intently at him, his eyes terrifyingly sinister, a madness born of desperation. "If I find out you're playing me, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth and show you what the price of deceiving a Grand Soul Master is!"
Li Fulan gripped the belt tightly in her hand, feeling its heavy weight, and felt so happy she wanted to hum a tune.
cost?
Ha, I'd love for you to kill me! I've been begging to die for nine lifetimes. If you can kill me, I'll have to kowtow to you and thank you.
"Rest assured, we offer fair trade and honest dealings with everyone, young and old."
Li Fulan fiddled with the belt, no longer keeping her in suspense.
"Holy Soul Village".
He uttered the place name, and Yu Xiaogang's ears perked up.
"There's a blacksmith shop in the village. The blacksmith is named Tang Hao, and he's a drunkard. He has a son named Tang San."
"Every morning, when the sun rises, this child goes to the cliff on the small hill behind the village to practice his skills."
Li Fulan leaned closer and, in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, said mysteriously:
"Watch from a distance. Take a close look at his hands."
"When he cultivates, a dark hammer appears in his left hand, while a blue silver grass is wrapped around his right hand."
"Grass and a hammer appeared at the same time."
After saying that, Li Fulan took a step back and made a "please go ahead" gesture.
"I won't go into details, but that's the Haotian Hammer. Master, you are very knowledgeable; you should understand its value."
Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned.
Holy Soul Village... Tang Hao... Tang San... Blue Silver Grass... Clear Sky Hammer...
This information is so specific that it doesn't seem like a lie fabricated on the spot.
The words "Haotian Hammer" in particular struck him like a thunderclap.
If one of the child's martial souls is the Clear Sky Hammer, it means that the child is a descendant of the Clear Sky Sect! This explains why there are top-tier mutated talents like twin martial souls!
That makes sense!
Everything is working!
Ecstasy instantly overwhelmed the heartache and anger from before.
Yu Xiaogang didn't even glance at Li Fulan again; only one thought remained in his mind: Go to Holy Soul Village! Immediately! Right now!
He suddenly turned around and ran wildly out of the forest. His speed was even faster than that of an agility-type Soul Master. He didn't even notice that he had lost a shoe.
Watching the figure disappear into the woods like a madman, Li Fulan chuckled and lowered her head to tie "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon" around her waist.
