Chapter 41: The Mouse Has Skin, but the Man Has No Manners (Part 2)
On the way to the outer courtyard fighting arena, Ling Bai handed Han Ruoruo a white jade porcelain bottle and said:
"Senior sister, Xuanshui Pill."
Han Ruoruo smiled, but pushed Ling Bai's hand back firmly: "No need, junior brother, Xuanshui Pill is precious, but it is only effective for young soul masters with shallow cultivation and unformed abilities. I have already broken through to Soul Saint, you can give it to someone who needs it more."
"This..."
Ling Bai naturally understood the principle of sharing half when meeting. With his current understanding of Han Ruoruo, she really didn't want it if she said she didn't want it, so he had to take back the Xuanshui Pill and said:
"Next time I go to Shrek City to play, I must treat you, senior sister."
Han Ruoruo crossed her slender hands Behind him, feeling the moist evening breeze caressing his cheek, he said softly: "Okay, Senior Sister will listen to you."
Not far away, hearing the two people's unconcealed conversation, Huo Yuhao lowered his voice and asked Tang Ya:
"Teacher Xiaoya, what is the Xuanshui Pill? Is it rare?"
"The Xuanshui Pill is worth ten thousand gold."
Tang Ya's first sentence scared Huo Yuhao, and his brain was working frantically. He sold twenty grilled fish a day, costing three copper soul coins and selling for five copper soul coins, making a net profit of forty copper soul coins a day. According to the exchange rate of 1 gold soul coin = 100 copper soul coins in Douluo Continent, 10,000 gold soul coins...
He only needs to not eat or drink for sixty-eight years!
When he thought of this, Huo Yuhao inexplicably had the urge to burst into tears.
Tang Ya did not notice the rich psychological activities of the little apprentice, and continued:
"Xu Sanshi was born in the Xuanming Sect of the Douling Empire. They are the only ones in the whole continent who can refine the Xuanshui Pill. It is said that the Xuanshui Pill requires the essence and blood of more than a dozen water-attributed soul beasts and dozens of water-attributed plants to be used to refine the pill.
The Xuanshui Pill has a very mild medicinal property. Soul masters of any attribute can absorb the medicinal power very well. Soul masters below level 20 can at least increase their soul power by one level when taking it. However, its most precious feature is not to increase soul power, but to cleanse the impurities in the body and the magical effect of Yijin and Xisui. Effect.
For a soul master with excellent talent, taking Xuanshui Pill is just icing on the cake. For a pervert like Ling Bai who is at level 20, the effect is even more negligible. But for soul masters with ordinary talents like you and me, it is a timely help.
The Yijin and Xisui of Xuanshui Pill is equivalent to raising the innate soul power of a soul master by one level. If the innate soul power is only level one when the martial soul awakens, then after taking Xuanshui Pill, the innate soul power will become level two. This is the transformation of talent and soul master's origin! "
"What!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly became hot. His innate soul power is only level one!
For so many years, his cultivation path can be said to be extremely difficult. His meridians are a little thinner than those of ordinary people and even a little blocked, which makes his cultivation speed extremely slow. It took five years to improve from level one soul power to level ten, and this is just the starting point of a soul master with full innate soul power!
The improvement of innate soul power is a change in the foundation. If he is lucky enough to use the power of Xuanshui Pill to Yijin and Xisui, his cultivation speed will be increased by at least three times!
"Teacher Xiaoya, I..." Huo Yuhao opened his mouth hesitantly.
"No need to say more." Tang Ya put her slender index finger on her lips and whispered, "Based on my understanding of Beibei, he must have found a way to deceive Xu Sanshi. Xiaoyuhao, just wait for the Xuanshui Pill!"
"Big Brother..."
Huo Yuhao's tears were faintly swirling around his eyes. He blinked quickly to prevent the tears from gushing out.
Due to the huge reputation of the twin stars in the outer courtyard, and the broadcast of the soul guide loudspeaker in the dormitory area of Shrek Academy, the soul fight between Beibei and Xu Sanshi attracted the attention of many students. Regardless of their cultivation level, they all flocked to watch the fight. Along the way, they met white, yellow, purple and black outer courtyard students of all grades.
Seeing the red school uniforms on Ling Bai and Han Ruoruo, the outer courtyard students instantly showed respect, automatically opened a wide passage for them, and looked at them with stars in their eyes.
"Brother Bai!"
A round and smooth voice called out to Ling Bai, who looked over and saw two girls in white school uniforms running towards him from a few hundred meters away.
"Xiaotian, Wu Feng?"
Ling Bai stopped, and Han Ruoruo beside him was thoughtful. As smart as she was, she immediately realized that these two were the disciples of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect who entered the school with Ling Bai.
Ning Tian ran to Ling Bai. After all, she was a weak auxiliary spirit master. Running at full speed made her slightly out of breath. Her chest, which was slightly curved, rose and fell, and her beautiful face was slightly ruddy, which made Wu Feng, who was following closely beside her, feel distressed and couldn't help but glare at Ling Bai fiercely.
Ling Bai ignored Wu Feng's fiery eyes, patted Ning Tian's back to calm her down, and chuckled, "Why are you running so fast? I've been here all along."
Ning Tian's breathing slowly stabilized, staring at Ling Bai's smiling golden eyes, and said, "It feels like a long time since we last met. I'm afraid you've forgotten us after not seeing each other for two days."
At the same time, she seemed to glance at the gentle and beautiful Han Ruoruo casually, absent-minded but meaningful.
Except for the leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, no one in the world knows Ning Tian better than Ling Bai. He immediately took Ning Tian's jade hand and pulled Wu Feng's sleeve, introducing them separately:
"Inner courtyard, senior sister Han Ruoruo.
New students in the outer courtyard, Ning Tian, Wu Feng."
"Hello, senior sister!"
Ning Tian quietly interlocked his fingers with Ling Bai and greeted Han Ruoruo obediently. Wu Feng had no choice but to reluctantly say hello to senior sister.
"Hello."
Han Ruoruo looked at Ning Tian and Wu Feng, her eyes focused on the palms of their hands, and a shallow arc appeared at the corner of her lips.
After all, Ning Tian was only eleven years old, and her behavior of declaring sovereignty was too simple and obvious. Han Ruoruo easily saw her possessiveness and nervousness towards Ling Bai, as if she was afraid that she would snatch Ling Bai away.
"Junior brother, senior sister is very happy today, so I won't disturb you. I will go back to Sea God Island to rest first."
Han Ruoruo did not want to cause Ning Tian to misunderstand and left on her own initiative. She understood how much the auxiliary sects like Jiubao Liuli Sect valued geniuses from other families. Ning Tian had probably chosen Ling Bai as the guardian, that is, the husband she would rely on in the future.
When Han Ruoruo's back disappeared from her vision, Ning Tian's clenched fist slowly loosened. It was no wonder that she felt insecure. She and Ling Bai were still young, and they had not signed an engagement to establish their relationship. Now Ling Bai and she were separated by two courtyards, and they could not accompany each other every day to further cultivate their feelings.
There were many excellent women in the inner courtyard who were good-looking, talented, and had good backgrounds. They were all in their prime and well-developed. Ning Tian heard that men were very likely to fall in love with the first mature person of the opposite sex who taught them what it meant to be a man. If Ling Bai was seduced by a bad woman, Ning Tian would burst into tears.
"Brother Bai, how are you doing in the inner courtyard? Are the old students targeting you?" Ning Tian asked with concern.
"Everything went well. How about you two?"
"Wu Feng and I were assigned to the same class and dormitory. Although our homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, seems to be strict in teaching, she cares about us in private. She is a typical teacher with a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Ling Bai nodded slightly. Compared with Zhou Yi, who expelled students for a disagreement, Mu Jin is a qualified teacher.
"And Ning Tian is the class monitor!"
Wu Feng looked proud, and then cleared his throat and added: "I am the deputy class monitor!"
"What? You are the deputy class monitor?"
Ling Bai took a breath: "Then your class is finished."
"... Ling Bai, I'll kill you!!!"
Fighting Spirit Area, Lounge.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Sanshi couldn't wait to say: "I saw Tang Ya and the big brother from the inner courtyard talking and laughing on the way. Do you know him?"
Contrary to the hostility shown by the outside world, the twin stars of the outer courtyard are actually very good friends.
Hearing this, Beibei glared at Xu Sanshi unhappily: "What big brother? Ling Bai is three years younger than you."
"Oh my god!"
Xu Sanshi was dumbfounded: "Then he is the same age as this year's freshmen!"
Beibei nodded: "That's right. Xiaoya broke through level 30 before school started. When she was hunting for spirit rings in the Xingdou Great Forest, she happened to meet a group of people from the Jiubao Liuli Sect. The leader was Ling Bai, so we traveled together.
Sanshi, Ling Bai's talent is far superior to you and me. Don't hate him for what happened today, otherwise you will definitely suffer."
Simply explaining the process of acquaintance, Beibei did not forget to warn Xu Sanshi.
"How dare I hate him!"
Xu Sanshi shrank his neck, like a frightened turtle shrinking into its shell: "Do you remember Ma Xiaotao who often came to me to neutralize the evil fire?"
"Phoenix Soul Emperor, you always complain to me that she was too heavy-handed."
Xu Sanshi pointed to his eyes and said with an exaggerated expression: "The night before last, I witnessed Ling Bai beating Ma Xiaotao with my own eyes! Soul Sect beat up Soul Emperor, and it was against Tiangang!"
"But..."
Changing the subject, Xu Sanshi laughed and said: "I can be regarded as having a relationship with him. If I can exchange two Xuanshui Pills for the kindness of Big Brother, I will make a lot of money!"
Beibei covered his face. He knew that Xu Sanshi was used to being shameless, but he didn't expect that he would shamelessly call him Big Brother.
"You haven't settled your account with the Tang Sect yet. Hurry up and bring me a Xuanshui Pill!"
Beibei stretched out a hand. Just as Tang Ya guessed, when he saw Xu Sanshi giving Ling Bai the Xuanshui Pill, he began to plan for his junior brother Huo Yuhao.
"Do you think Xuanshui Pill is a market item?"
Xu Sanshi was stunned. Did he have the words "resentful" engraved on his head? Why did everyone blackmail him today!
Beibei raised her eyebrows: "Let's put it one way or another. You bullied my junior brother, shouldn't you compensate me?"
"I'll pay you 200 gold soul coins and eat his grilled fish for a year."
Beibei suddenly felt a headache. Xu Sanshi was very smart and didn't fall for his tricks at all. Huo Yuhao's talent needed Xuanshui Pills to improve. After thinking for a moment, she had an idea and said:
"I won't take advantage of you. Let's fight with our souls. If you win, I won't pursue this matter. If you lose, give me Xuanshui Pills."
Xu Sanshi smacked his lips and immediately stretched out a finger: "One more thing. Your Tang Ya and Nan Nan have a good relationship. If I win, you can ask her to meet Nan Nan at the city gate. I'm going to give her a surprise."
"... You really like Jiang Nan Nan." Beibei complained.
Although Jiang Nan Nan is known as the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard, Xu Sanshi's family background, appearance, and talent are all top-notch. Beibei was very surprised why Xu Sanshi was so stubborn and stuck to Jiang Nan Nan.
Xu Sanshi's face turned red, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Hurry up, do you agree or not!"
"It's a deal."
Beibei still hoped that his good brother Xu Sanshi would eventually get the girl, so he decided to help him with Tang Ya.
...
Outer courtyard fighting arena, audience seats.
After paying the viewing fee, the five people found a seat. Ling Bai and Huo Yuhao, two boys, sat in the middle, and Ning Tian, Wu Feng and Tang Ya were next to them.
As soon as they sat down, Wu Feng complained, "Is Shrek crazy about money? Watching a fighting match actually charges one silver soul coin!"
Huo Yuhao agreed with him. He had to sell five grilled fish to earn one silver soul coin. If it weren't for the rich woman Ning Tian's generous treat, he would never be willing to spend money to watch the match.
Ning Tian leaned her head against Ling Bai, circled his wrist with her fingertips, and said with a smile: "The academy is large and powerful, and various facilities need funds to maintain. The daily expenses of raising many soul beasts in the Colosseum are also a huge amount. It is understandable to charge some fees."
Ling Bai did not speak, silently pinned a few strands of Ning Tian's long platinum hair behind her ears, and the tip of his nose was filled with the elegant fragrance of the girl's hair, looking around the outer courtyard fighting soul arena.
The overall layout is almost the same as the inner courtyard fighting soul arena. The only obvious difference is the audience seats. Considering that the number of students in the outer courtyard is far greater than that of the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard fighting soul arena has set up a full 2,000 seats.
As the two big figures in the outer courtyard, every battle between the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Beibei and the Mysterious Nether Turtle Xu Sanshi is thrilling. At this moment, more and more students gathered in the fighting soul arena. At a glance, it was crowded, and at least thousands of students came to watch the battle.
This scene made Huo Yuhao a little nervous, and he whispered: "Teacher Xiaoya, can the senior brother win?"
"Not necessarily." Tang Ya shook her head, "Xu Sanshi has the top defense beast spirit Xuanming Turtle, known as the best defense in the outer courtyard, and is a twin star with Beibei, the best offensive in the outer courtyard. They have always won and lost in the past, and it is roughly a 50-50 situation."
"This..."
There was a flash of obscurity in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he kept weighing between the entrance area of the fighting spirit field, Ling Bai, and Tang Ya, as if he was thinking about something.
"Please enter the field!"
With the referee's roar, Beibei and Xu Sanshi strode out from both sides, and the noisy fighting spirit area became quiet in an instant. Everyone stared at the two people in the field, fearing that they would miss the wonderful moment.
"Fourth grade Beibei vs. fifth grade Xu Sanshi, the game begins!"
The referee quickly retreated, leaving Beibei and Xu Sanshi a complete field, and the two released their own spirits at the same time.
As the blue light focused, Beibei's right arm quickly expanded, with countless electric lights gushing out and lingering. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit possessed him, and three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, rose and fell around the dragon-like right arm.
Xu Sanshi was not to be outdone. His swollen body stretched his school uniform tight, and the inky black Mysterious Nether Tortoise Shield appeared, also with the best soul ring ratio of two yellow and one purple.
The two slowly stepped to the side, their sharp eyes locked on each other, and the strong soul power continued to rise. The blue and black, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Mysterious Nether Tortoise, were clearly distinguished.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ling Bai frowned. He caught a faint mental force, which was an inevitable special fluctuation when releasing a spiritual attribute soul skill.
He looked sideways, and sure enough, Huo Yuhao's originally deep blue eyes were floating with a faint golden color!
The first soul skill of the Spirit Eye, spiritual detection sharing!
Huo Yuhao wanted to use the concealment of his spiritual attributes to help Beibei defeat Xu Sanshi. He could hide it from the referee who was still far away, but how could he hide it from Ling Bai who was so close!
"Boom--"
"Ah!!!"
Huo Yuhao cried out in pain, and felt as if his spiritual sea was torn apart by a beam of golden light. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was so scared that he sat up in shock from his dying illness, and patched it up with a confused look on his face.
The next second, Huo Yuhao met a pair of dazzling golden eyes as sharp as a sword, and a low and cold voice followed:
"Huo Yuhao, are you... cheating?"
