Chapter 39 Yu Xiaogang's Soul Hunting Operation
White World, Spirit Hall.
Just like yesterday, the priests in the Hall of Offerings included Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong, and now Hu Liena, who was just watching the show.
A group of people gathered together just to see what today's content was about.
Looking at the group of people around him, Yu Xiaogang put his hand to his forehead.
"Forget about Hu Liena, Grand Priest, can't you just watch her in your own temple?"
"Why do you insist on coming here to see?"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Qian Daoliu revealed a smile.
"That's because you, the person involved, are here."
"If there's anything we don't understand about the sky, we can just ask you since you're here."
The Golden Crocodile Douluo standing to the side nodded in agreement.
"That's right, and also, I think this kind of thing is more fun to watch with a group of people."
Upon hearing this, the other priests immediately echoed Golden Crocodile Douluo, expressing that they loved this lively perspective.
Looking at the group of priests around him who had become somewhat unruly, Yu Xiaogang was speechless with emotion.
It's truly unbelievable! A group of people whose strength stands at the very top of the entire Douluo Continent, even among Title Douluos, are at the pinnacle, yet they are like this in private.
If those low-level members of Spirit Hall saw this, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets!
"Alright, Xiaogang, let the Grand Elders and the others see if they want to. It's not in their way anyway."
"But speaking of which, should we add a spirit ring from a boar-type spirit beast to Little Dragon?"
Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Xiaogang, a feeling of wanting to complain but not knowing how to express it stuck in her heart.
"All I can say is that Xiaolong is incredibly unlucky to have followed him."
Yu Xiaogang continued what Bibi Dong wanted to say.
"Yes, that's it! I feel sorry for that little dragon over there. It has such a powerful martial soul, yet it encountered such a wielder."
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang in the sky with disdain.
He's not very talented to begin with, and he's unwilling to listen to the opinions of the strong. No wonder he can't compare to her husband.
[The video continues...]
After some argument, Yu Yuanzhen still insisted on attaching a dragon-type spirit ring to Luo Sanpao.
Yu Xiaogang also firmly believed that he was right.
The two were deadlocked, so Yu Xiaogang decided to go and obtain a spirit ring himself.
Thunder Tusked Boars, these kinds of spirit beasts, can be found in the Thunder Forest not far from Blue Lightning City. He only needed to spend some money to hire nearby spirit masters to help him acquire spirit rings.
No sooner said than done, the next day, while Yu Yuanzhen was busy with sect affairs, Yu Xiaogang quickly packed his bags, took some money from home, and embarked on his journey to obtain his first spirit ring.
Leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang swiftly traversed the town, heading straight for the Thunder Forest.
Not long after, Yu Xiaogang successfully reached the edge of Thunder Forest.
Here, he hired a soul-hunting team for 1,000 gold soul coins.
Looking at the Soul Hunter team that had been subdued by his money, Yu Xiaogang proudly raised his chin.
This was the only time he had hired these people to help him acquire spirit rings.
Once he successfully obtained his first spirit ring, proving his conclusion correct, he would have the help of powerful members of his clan for the next spirit ring acquisition.
In the future, he would grow into a stronger person step by step based on his own theories.
Lack of talent?
Talent could not limit him; he would prove to everyone that even with exceptionally poor talent, he could change everything with his wisdom.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang glanced at the Soul Hunting Team, whose faces were beaming with joy at receiving a thousand gold soul coins.
"Hmph, a bunch of blind fools, only able to see the money in front of them, completely unaware of what they're missing out on today."
Glancing disdainfully at the group of people he had hired, Yu Xiaogang began to fantasize about the day he would be famous throughout the Douluo Continent.
By then, his information would surely be spread by everyone.
When those people saw his post and recalled what happened today, they would surely be filled with regret and despair.
What a loss it was that they had not properly curried favor with the young form of a powerful figure.
"Alright, let's go!"
Seeing that the group was still celebrating, Yu Xiaogang spoke up to remind them.
"Alright, sir, don't worry. Thunder Tusked Boar, right? We guarantee your satisfaction!"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, the members of the Soul Hunter Squad stepped forward with smiles and said...
They certainly noticed Yu Xiaogang's condescending and disdainful attitude towards them.
But what did it matter? That was a thousand gold soul coins!
Based on market prices in Thunder Forest, joining a Soul Hunting Team and operating alongside them normally yielded ten Gold Soul Coins per day.
If a single person hired a whole team to serve them, the price was generally between fifty and five hundred gold soul coins.
To be willing to pay 500 gold soul coins, the required soul beast must be extremely dangerous, and its age must be around four or five hundred years.
For someone like Yu Xiaogang to offer a thousand gold soul coins for obtaining his first soul ring was practically a once-in-a-century occurrence.
If they could, they would even be willing to worship such people.
After some preparation, the Soul Hunter team led Yu Xiaogang to the entrance to the forest.
The Soul Hunter team was about to show their warrants when Yu Xiaogang stepped forward first and produced a token.
Upon seeing the token, the guard responsible for checking the pass immediately adopted a respectful expression.
"Boss, what kind of token is that?"
A member of the Soul Hunter squad asked their captain curiously.
"Wow, I thought he was just a rich guy, but it turns out he's not that special either."
"That thing is a high-level token of Spirit Hall; it's not something an ordinary person can possess."
"I heard there aren't many like this in the entire Douluo Continent. It's just that our area is relatively close to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which is why we know about it."
The captain of the Soul Hunter Squad said with a solemn expression.
"Captain, what do you mean?"
"That's right, that guy is most likely from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and someone with an extraordinary background. I just don't know why someone like that would hire us to help him hunt souls."
The Soul Hunter team followed behind Yu Xiaogang, whispering amongst themselves.
Looking at the solemn expressions on the faces of the Soul Hunter team members, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of pleasure.
Luckily, he had secretly taken out his father's high-level token; otherwise, he would have needed the Soul Hunter Squad's token to enter the Soul Beast Forest, and wouldn't he have been looked down upon?
This shocking turn of events perfectly matched Yu Xiaogang's vision.
However, Yu Xiaogang was still somewhat dissatisfied.
"Now he was wielding his father's high-level token; he was still borrowing his authority."
"Just wait, one day he would have his own high-level token!"
"I believe that day is not too far away."
