Chapter Twelve: Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan (Three)

  "Wow, Xiaoya teacher, the college can really make money!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed after listening to Tangya's brief introduction to the Douluo Continent.

  Tang Yada said, "This is also reasonable, the college is so big, and the expenses are naturally large. If you don't think of ways to make more money, what can you use to support it? However, the taxes in Shrek City are not small either. Our college is still the richest on the mainland anyway. By the way, Xiaoyu Hao, your roasted fish skills have improved again! Either that or my seasonings are good, it's really delicious."

  Before they even reached the Douhun District, Tang Ya's two roasted fish had already been eaten. Huo Yu Hao was already hungry and took advantage of passing by the cafeteria to buy dinner first. By the time he and Tang Ya arrived at the Douhun District, many people had already flooded in, and with the news spreading like wildfire, even more students came pouring in continuously.

  Tang Ya handed over two Silver Soul Coins and led Huo Yuhao into the Dueling Club. The Dueling Club was hexagonal in shape, roughly the same size as Shrek Plaza. In the center was a large empty space, clearly where students would compete against each other. Surrounding it were rows of seats that rose up step by step, able to hold around three thousand people at once.

  At this time, there were already two or three hundred people sitting on the edge of the venue. He Yu Hao and Tang Ya Lai arrived relatively early and sat in the front row closest to the inside of the venue. However, the venue was empty. I don't know where Bei Bei and Xu San Shi went.

  Tang Ya explained to Huo Yu Hao, who was still unclear about the rules of the Dou Soul District: "The Dou Soul District is open every day after school until midnight. Students who want to participate in the Dou Soul competition need to pay a fee and register first. If both parties are well-known students within the college, the college will broadcast it for free through the soul guide loudspeaker in each dormitory area, allowing more people to watch. The ticket revenue will be taken away by the college half, and the other half will belong to the winner of the competition. Your senior brother has made a lot of money here. Moreover, Xu San Shi is a fifth-year student, and he just promoted to fourth year, which means that even if Xu San Shi loses, he still needs to pay an additional 100 gold soul coins. Your senior brother and Xu San Shi are both very famous students in our outer court, and they are both known as geniuses. I estimate that the number of people who come to watch today can exceed 500."

  He Yu Hao asked: "Who was that Jiang Nan Nan just now?"

  Tang Ya raised her hand and knocked on Huo Yu's head, "At such a young age, you're not studying well, but you know how to admire beautiful women, hum!"

  He Yu Hao felt a pang of pain and didn't dare ask again. He opened his own lunchbox and started eating dinner.

  Tang Ya looked at him with a serious expression, but couldn't help laughing. "Forget it, I'll tell you. Jiang Nannan is known as the number one beauty of Foreign Language College. She comes from an ordinary family and is kind to everyone. In college, she has many admirers. Do you think she's prettier than me?"

  Huo Yu Hao hastily shook his head repeatedly.

  Tang Ya said with a hint of pride, "Exactly, I don't think she's stronger than me either. Hmph! Xu San Shi has a very powerful variant martial soul called Xuan Ming Gui. It has both water and earth attributes, making its defense extremely strong. It's known as being as solid as gold. His cultivation is similar to Bei Bei's, they're both top-notch beast martial souls. Don't worry, I've already taken revenge for you. Earlier, I gave him a Dragon Whisker Needle, that should be enough for him to suffer. Let him pursue Jiang Nan Nan if he wants, but he can't mess with my people. It's strange though, I don't know if Jiang Nan Nan has some issues with her sexual orientation or not. Many excellent male students in the academy have pursued her, but she's never shown any interest in anyone. The others all gave warm rejections, but towards Xu San Shi, it was a rare cold shoulder. I don't know if Xu San Shi took advantage of her or something. These people who came to watch are really innocent! They only know that Bei Bei and Xu San Shi are the strongest attack and defense martial souls in the outer court, but they don't know that these two have known each other for a long time. I reckon this is all part of their plan to make some money. That's why they came to the Douluo Arena."

  Huo Yu Hao was surprised and said: "Does Big Brother Master know Xu San Shi?"

  Tang Ya nodded, "Xiaoyu Hao, don't worry. It's good that you know him, but your senior brother will still compete with him, can't let him bully you for nothing."

  Fighting Spirit Area, Rest Room.

  "Bei Bei, your Xiao Ya is too ruthless, look, look..." Xu Sanshi's face was full of discontent as he lifted up his shirt, revealing a bulge the size of a baby's fist on his right waist. However, he still maintained his Wu Soul release, and the skin around it seemed to have become as hard as iron.

  "Bebe hummed and said, 'You deserved it, who let you bully our little Shidi? Don't waste words, bring a Xuan Water Pill and I'll help you remove this Dragon Whisker Needle. Otherwise, wait for yourself to dig out a piece of flesh! This Dragon Whisker Needle was left by the first generation ancestor of the Tang Sect and is only passed down to the generations of the sect leader. Xiaoya is really angry this time.'"

  Xu Sanshi said: "Was that little guy just now really one of your Tang Sect people? I didn't see what he was capable of! Forget about the Xuan Shui Dan, hurry up, I can't keep maintaining my martial soul like this, and this Dragon's Whisker Needle is too vicious, it hurts to death, and it specifically breaks soul force. Under such an unexpected attack, I actually fell for Tang Ya's trick, how frustrating."

  Babe looked up at the sky and said, "Suit yourself, whether you give it or not. You hit my little brother and destroyed his stall, so just suffer with this dragon needle slowly. Anyway, the competition is about to start soon. I don't believe you can still compete with me even if you have the dragon needle."

  Xu Sanshi snorted in anger, "Alright, Beibei, you just wait. See how I'll deal with you once we get to the Dou Soul Arena, I won't show any mercy."

  Baby smiled slightly and said: "Do I need you to show mercy?" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and made a few gestures towards Xu San Shi.

  Xu Sanshi reluctantly pulled out a small white jade porcelain bottle from his bosom and tossed it to Beibei. Beibei caught it with one hand, "Thanks, you put away your martial soul, I'll help you take out the Dragon Whisker Needle."

  Xu Sanshi slowly withdrew his martial soul, and without the restriction of his martial soul, a sharp pain suddenly came from where Longxuan had pierced him. With his cultivation and willpower, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

  Baby's right hand quickly dotted around the wound, then both hands moved at the same time, and a gentle soul power continuously flowed into those shriveled muscles. His movements were incredibly fast, and each finger movement had a different degree of soul power. After a while, a thin golden thread, finer than a hair, slowly emerged from Xu Sanshi's waist muscles.

  Baby lightly pulled, golden thread popped out, quickly shrinking into a small grain of rice-sized gold bead. Wrist flipped and retracted back.

  Xu Sanshi let out a long sigh of relief, but his face still wore an angry expression. "Bei Bei, you're taking advantage of someone's misfortune. You know how precious the Xuan Shui Dan is. Alright, let's make a bet. If I win this battle later on, return the Xuan Shui Dan to me."
