Chapter 30: Linking a New Goddess! Sharp Commentary on Xiao Wu!
Song Ye had no idea what the two Titled Douluo outside were thinking, nor did he care.
His priority was becoming stronger. Women could be a side path, but they weren't worth too much effort.
Arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well spring, Song Ye didn't hesitate. He resisted with all his strength against the terrifying extremes of cold and heat, then forcefully picked the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
Following Tang San's method from the original story, he swallowed the two Immortal Herbs simultaneously, then sank into the water, slowly absorbing their medicinal effects and tempering his body.
As for the pain and discomfort, Song Ye could endure it. He was mentally prepared, and with the protection of his life force, there would be no major issues.
Seeing that Song Ye showed no significant problems, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo gradually felt relieved and waited patiently.
Time passed bit by bit. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing finished absorbing their immortal herbs, while Xiao Wu focused on the two girls and had no mind to care about anything else.
After all, she already knew about Song Ye's thousand-year soul rings, so she wasn't surprised.
After absorbing the medicinal effects, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both experienced talent improvements and a significant increase in their soul power, each advancing nearly six to seven levels.
Especially Ning Rongrong's martial soul, which evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Seeing this, Chen Xin became extremely excited. "Just as expected!"
"Rongrong, your martial soul has evolved and is no longer restricted. From now on, the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has finally changed!"
Ning Rongrong was equally excited, looking at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul in her hand as she said happily, "So, does that mean I can also cultivate to the Titled Douluo level?"
"Grandpa Sword, quick, we must thank Song Ye!"
"If not for him finding the Immortal Herbs, how could I have made such a breakthrough?"
Chen Xin was momentarily stunned, then nodded. "Indeed, we must thank him. But that boy is still absorbing other Immortal herbs. Let's wait."
"Rongrong, while you were absorbing, I saw that his first two soul rings are already thousand-year level, and his martial soul is top-tier."
"This boy's talent is extraordinary, and with the enhancement of Immortal Herbs, his future potential is immense. You should build a good relationship with him."
"What? Thousand-year soul rings? And the first two?" Ning Rongrong was in disbelief.
"How is that possible? Who could withstand two thousand-year soul rings at the start?"
At this moment, Xiao Wu explained, "It's true. Both his soul rings are thousand-year, and his soul skills are even more impressive."
"I suspect he's still only at the two-rings level and has not progressed as fast as us because he had difficulty hunting soul rings early on, wasting time."
"Really?" Even Zhu Zhuqing was shocked. "Xiao Wu, where did you find this person? That's terrifying!"
Xiao Wu smiled bitterly. "We met by chance. In any case, Song Ye is a good person and can be a friend."
"At the very least, he's much better than those from Shrek, right?"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing fully agreed. After seeing arrogant womanizers like Oscar and Dai Mubai, looking at Song Ye now, he seemed much more pleasant.
Chen Xin was very satisfied. It would be best if Rongrong could be paired with him sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, the three girls and the two Titled Douluo continued waiting, while on the other side, Song Ye's body tempering progressed steadily.
After some time, it was already evening. Song Ye finally completed his tempering, gaining resistance to both water and fire.
If he had corresponding fire and ice attributes, he might even reach ultimate fire and ultimate ice—unfortunately, he did not possess those attributes for now.
Returning to the shore, Song Ye was full of energy. The three girls approached him to express their gratitude. Seeing that he was without clothes, they were a bit shy.
Chen Xin threw clothes to Song Ye. After exchanging pleasantries, he invited Song Ye to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Song Ye said he would consider it, intending to delay and think it through later.
For now, they decided to return to the sect. The detoxification method for Dugu Bo had already been taught; he could follow it himself.
Back at the sect, Song Ye and the others enjoyed a lavish banquet. After hearing Chen Xin's account, Ning Fengzhi valued Song Ye highly and invited him again.
After eating and drinking, Song Ye returned to his temporary residence, contemplating today's Sharp Commentary System task.
Meanwhile, in another room, Ning Rongrong insisted that the three girls stay together.
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing also waited for today's commentary.
Xiao Wu felt a bit nervous and wondered, "Will it be my turn today?"
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, if my Soul Beast identity is discovered by others, will something happen?"
Ning Rongrong comforted her, "Xiao Wu, what are you afraid of? In our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone here, who could harm you?"
"You just need to stay in the sect."
"But what I'm more worried about is, Xiao Wu, if the light screen comments on you and involves love, saying something bad about Tang San—"
"You…"
Ning Rongrong didn't continue, but her meaning was clear.
Zhu Zhuqing also worried, "Yes, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai is obvious, but Oscar hides it deeper. If Tang San is like that too, we're afraid you won't be able to accept it."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu looked at the Yearning Heartbroken Red in her arms. If she said she wasn't nervous or afraid, that would be a lie.
But she had come to the human world for Tang San.
She had even picked the Yearning Heartbroken Red, filled with love—proof of her feelings.
If the commentary mentioned problems with Tang San, and she couldn't accept it, then what was the point of staying in the human world?
Should she still go find Xiao San?
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu recalled how Tang San had once angrily scolded her for speaking badly about Yu Xiaogang.
A doubt arose: 'Could it be that, to Xiao San, I'm not that important?'
'But back in the Star Dou Great Forest, he really risked his life to find me…'
At this moment, she was already caught in hesitation and uncertainty.
Just then, the commentary began, and the light screen lit up faintly.
The three girls quickly activated it and saw that the title was exactly as expected:
[Please comment on Xiao Wu's love!]
The moment this title appeared, Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she grew uneasy.
"Comment on my love… does that mean there's really a problem with Xiao San and me?"
Xiao Wu didn't dare to look. Only Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing held her hands, hoping for the truth to be revealed.
At the same time, along with the title, a new message appeared that surprised them:
[This is the fifth commentary!]
[The number of linked participants is increasing!]
[Welcome "Hot Girl" and "Needle-Tailed Swift" to join the link!]
[Hot Girl]: Huh? What is this? What's with this light screen?
[Needle-Tailed Swift]: What does 'linking' mean? I can speak and also see what others are saying.
[Hot Girl]: And why is there a line of text floating on the light screen? Comment on Xiao Wu's love… Who is Xiao Wu? It can't be me, right?
