When returning, Tang San felt a brief pang of guilt for deceiving his teacher, but his eyes quickly turned cold at the thought of sharing his opportunity with others.
His fists clenched.
'That place belongs to me. That power… only I can receive it.'
Soon, he rejoined Dai Mubai, Oscar, Fatty, and Rongrong.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang was still completely fooled by Tang San. Brimming with pride and excitement, he stood tall at the edge of the training grounds, arms crossed behind his back like a proud general surveying his troops.
'Just wait,' he thought smugly. 'When they see Tang San's Martial Spirit, they will realize the genius I've created and they'll kneel and beg to be taught by me. Even Spirit Hall will come crawling back.'
He imagined their shocked faces, their admiration, their envy and most of all, their submission.
On the other side of the field, Tang San silently watched Yu Xiaogang's self-satisfied expression. His gaze was cold and distant. There was no guilt, no gratitude, only calculation.
Meanwhile, Wu Lan, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing arrived at his dormitory.
Wu Lan turned to Zhuqing and said,
"Zhuqing, since you've decided to follow me, I will give you the techniques that will help you become stronger."
Hearing this, Zhuqing's eyes lit up. She nodded seriously.
"I won't disappoint you."
"Bi Ji, Zi Ji, you also listen."
"Thank you, master," Bi Ji and Zi Ji appeared and said with excitement. From the previous techniques Wu Lan had given them, they knew how valuable his teachings were. They didn't want to miss out on this chance.
Seeing their reaction, Zhuqing was puzzled. Why were Title Douluo's so excited for Wu Lan's techniques?
But soon, she got her answer after hearing the Xuan Tian Records.
Zhuqing felt overwhelmed.
Wu Lan had given her a heaven-defying technique.
With her words as a guarantee, that trust was something her family had never provided.
But Wu Lan trusted her.
This technique was proof.
She felt that following Wu Lan, the one who trusted her was worth it.
After Wu Lan finished explaining, he told them to practice and left before they could respond.
Xiao Wu pouted and blamed him for leaving her again, which made Bi Ji tease her.
Their bickering started once more.
Wu Lan rushed to his previous hidden spot where he had absorbed the Golden Dragon blood. He used Blue Silver Sense to check if anyone was around.
Finding no one and confirming Tang Hao wasn't present he nodded.
"Master, can I absorb the bloodline now?" his Orchid asked, emerging from his body.
Since the system was his Martial Spirit, it could access the inventory.
Now, he had a talking system like other time travelers.
"Yes, absorb it," Wu Lan said, stroking it gently.
The Orchid began absorbing the [Blue Silver Emperor] blood, which Wu Lan had stolen from Tang San in Star Dou Forest.
Soon, the bloodline in the inventory disappeared. The Orchid started glowing, and the nearby Blue Silver Grass began to dance happily, sensing the powerful Blue Silver bloodline.
After a few hours, the glow faded. His Orchid had become more crystal-like in color.
"Master, I've unlocked a domain!" the Orchid said excitedly.
Wu Lan was pleasantly surprised.
A domain was a major advantage for a soul master like the Killing Domain, which could suppress enemies by up to 30%, depending on their mental strength and willpower.
"What are its effects?"
"It's a Healing Domain. You can heal everyone within the domain."
Hearing this, he froze. He remembered that his Martial Spirit was healing-type.
Before Wu Lan could respond, the Orchid continued,
"And you can also Mark a person who is in the domain and heal them from Any distance. But for now, you can only Markone person."
Wu Lan was thrilled. He patted the Orchid, which giggled with happiness.
This was a pleasant surprise for Wu Lan. With this, he could continuously heal others without them noticing.
He wouldn't have to make excuses before healing them anymore.
He already had a target in mind Tang Hao, the protagonist's father.
He used all the Soul Power payments in the inventory.
Wu Lan needed a huge amount of Soul Power to form soul rings and level up. Tang Hao was the best candidate to supply large amounts of Soul Power. He wanted to exploit Tang Hao regularly but Tang Hao kept disappearing somewhere.
If he placed the mark on him, Wu Lan could get payments regularly.
He was excited. This domain was more useful to him than any attack domain because of the payment system.
After experimenting for a while, he realized he could control the healing output of the mark and the domain.
With this, he didn't have to worry about healing anymore. He could send traces of vitality slowly, so people wouldn't even realize they were being healed but he would still get the payments.
After some more testing, he returned to his dormitory.
Seeing them practicing hard, he felt very satisfied.
"Brother!"
Sensing Wu Lan's presence, Xiao Wu rushed toward him but the Orchid jumped between them again.
Their fight began once more.
Wu Lan, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Zhuqing all laughed at their antics.
After calming them down, he took them to Soto City to eat and play.
While they were on their way, they saw Tang San, Mubai, Oscar, Fatty, and Rongrong still running with heavy rocks strapped to their backs.
Seeing them, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing looked at the group with pity and felt fortunate that they hadn't followed Yu Xiaogang's training.
Tang San, seeing Xiao Wu approaching, thought she had come for him. His eyes lit up, and he sprinted toward her with full speed.
Xiao Wu frowned as he approached.
Seeing her expression, Tang San thought she was worried for him. Moved by the thought, he smiled brightly and said,
"Xiao Wu, don't worry. I'm very strong. This is just light weight compared to what I can handle."
Tang San boasted about his strength, completely ignoring the impact of his words.
Wu Lan was amused as he saw the dark expressions on Mubai, Oscar, Fatty, and Rongrong the moment they heard Tang San's words.
Yu Xiaogang's favoritism had been revealed once again.
