Chapter 192: Return, Beast Tide!!
"Brother Gu, are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Tang Yuehua was heartbroken. She had finally gotten some time to spend with Gu Han, but surprisingly, except for the first day, the rest of the time had been completely dominated by Grandpa. And today, just as Grandpa left, Gu Han was leaving too.
"Miss Yuehua, before he left, your grandfather asked me to help you resolve your cultivation issues. However, your situation is somewhat unique. I plan to return to Spirit City and review the materials to see if there's anything I can do to help you."
Gu Han explained the situation to avoid misunderstandings.
"Is that so? Then I'll head to Spirit City soon."
Tang Yuehua was delighted to hear this. Whether or not she could cultivate was secondary; she was more concerned about the chance to spend more time with Gu Han.
"Then, Brother Gu, let me see you off."
"No need, Miss Yuehua. Farewell."
Gu Han waved, then mounted his flying sword and streaked across the sky like a meteor, leaving Tiandou City.
Tang Yuehua quietly watched the direction Gu Han left as Tang Hao and Tang Xiao finally emerged from the Moon Pavilion.
"Third sister, stop looking. They've been gone for a while."
Tang Hao patted Tang Yuehua's shoulder.
Tang Yuehua gave Tang Hao a blank look before turning back to the Moon Pavilion.
Tang Hao, baffled, rubbed the back of his head and looked at Tang Xiao: "Brother, did I say something wrong?"
Tang Xiao spread his hands and said, "I don't know either."
Gu Han returned to Spirit City very smoothly. As soon as he arrived outside the palace, he saw Bibi Dong smiling at him with her arms folded.
A smile crossed Gu Han's face as he trotted forward.
"Senior Sister, I'm back."
Bibi Dong asked with a meaningful smile, "How's it going? Has the matter with Miss Yuehua been resolved?"
"Ahem, Senior Sister, it's a long story."
"No, I have plenty of time."
Hearing this, Gu Han smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"
Bibi Dong curled her lips. "Not really. It's just Tang Yuehua, nothing to be afraid of."
"By the way, Junior Brother, Yuexuan seems to teach music too. Music can be so calming, so we should learn it."
"Senior Sister, when did you become interested in musical instruments?"
Gu Han raised an eyebrow. Since meeting Bibi Dong, it could be said that she had transformed from an innocent girl into a naive middle school girl, her mind constantly suppressing this and that. Her sudden interest in Fengya was quite surprising.
Bibi Dong pouted. "What? I can't learn?"
Gu Han smiled and pinched Bibi Dong's face.
"Since Senior Sister is willing to learn, then so be it. As for instruments, Junior Brother isn't very good either, so I'll have to find a master in Spirit City."
"Don't worry about that for now. Junior Brother, tell me about your time in Tiandou City." Bibi Dong's interest in music was secondary; she was more interested in knowing what happened to Gu Han in Tiandou City.
"Okay,"
Gu Han nodded slightly, then told Bibi Dong about his experiences in Tiandou City.
Bibi Dong's face darkened slightly when she heard about Gu Han and Tang Yuehua, but she didn't get angry. However, her expression gradually brightened after hearing more.
In particular, the fact that Tang Chen had taught Gu Han the Exploding Ring technique was incredibly strange to Bibi Dong.
"If that's the case, then it's not a bad idea, but how confident are you in resolving Tang Yuehua's inability to cultivate?"
Bibi Dong asked. Tang Yuehua was a unique individual, a super genius with a ninth-level innate talent and a natural innate domain, yet she couldn't cultivate.
This was truly, how can one describe it, a rare occurrence in the world?
Never mind, it's just very rare anyway.
Gu Han pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know about that yet. After all, I don't even know Miss Yuehua's specific situation. We'll talk about it later."
"Well, let's not discuss this for now."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, then stopped paying attention to these matters and continued.
"Little Stone has absorbed the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. Although I used it to cleanse his muscles and bones according to your method, a lot of the energy can't be fully utilized, so he used it to increase his level. He's now level ten."
"Just yesterday, he absorbed the first spirit ring you arranged for him, an eight-hundred-year-old iron-striped leopard."
"The rust on his spirit has also decreased, and the blade has regained its shine."
Gu Han nodded. "Well, Shi Dong's spirit is of very poor quality, so he needs to obtain a gold-attributed spirit ring. This will effectively allow his spirit to evolve."
"What's his first spirit skill?"
"It's sword light, which effectively makes his sword spirit sharper, and the sword light can be released externally."
"Yeah, pretty much as I expected."
Gu Han nodded slightly. He had already planned a path for Shi Dong's spirit ring acquisition, focusing primarily on obtaining gold-attributed spirits. While the spirit skills he obtained might not be exactly as he imagined, they were basically similar.
"What about Ling Yun?"
"Ling Yun can make good use of the effects of whale glue to improve her aptitude and physical strength. However, she's already level 19 and will probably break through to level 20 in the next few days."
Gu Han pinched his chin. It seemed like it was time to prepare the spirit beast for Ling Yun's second spirit ring.
"Oh no! Your Highnesses, Holy Son and Holy Maiden, urgent news just arrived from Haagen-Dazs City: a beast tide has erupted north of the Star Dou Great Forest. They've now crossed the Star Dou Mountains and entered the great plains of the Haagen-Dazs Principality!!"
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Han and Bibi Dong suddenly stood up in surprise.
Gu Han frowned even more. Neither the original Douluo novel nor the anime ever mentioned a beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest decades ago.
Moreover, a soul beast must be extremely powerful to trigger a beast tide; even a mere hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast wouldn't be able to do so.
His arrival had never had any impact on the Star Dou Great Forest. Hunting a few soul beasts wouldn't have triggered such a massive butterfly effect.
Therefore, the cause of this incident had nothing to do with his arrival. Perhaps there was a hidden reason, or perhaps it had occurred but hadn't been recorded or mentioned.
"Junior Brother,"
Bibi Dong tugged at Gu Han's arm.
Gu Han regained his composure, his gaze grave. He said, "Let's go to the Pope's Palace."
The Beast Tide was a serious matter. Without a Titled Douluo to manage it, the losses would be devastating.
As the recognized holy ground of all spirit masters, the Spirit Hall must undoubtedly be involved in this matter.
Sure enough, upon arriving at the Pope's Palace, Qian Xunji had already summoned the several elders and priests still within.
"Master, elders, priests,"
Gu Han and Bibi Dong saluted respectfully.
Qian Xunji waved his hand. "No need for formalities. Take a seat."
"Yes,"
they nodded. The palace now had two rows of chairs, and Gu Han and Bibi Dong took the last.
After all, they were just two juniors, and while they held high positions, the priests and elders present were no less powerful.
"Hmph, big brother just left, and this shit happened!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted angrily. He looked at Qian Xunji and said quickly, "Your Holiness, I will go there myself this time to see what's going on."
Golden Crocodile Douluo, now a level 99 being, had been itching for a good fight.
Fighting big brother was too frustrating, and he always got beaten badly, so he didn't want to get into trouble. This was a good opportunity for him to show his skills.
