Dread Undying returned to Yuwentuo's room, and instantly, a huge pile of clanging things filled the room.
Xiao Xiao had already gone back to rest, leaving only Yuwentuo stunned in place. He hadn't expected Dread Undying to come and go so quickly. As expected of a ninety-eighth-level Super Douluo, handling Xiao Hongchen, that little brat, was easy and pleasant.
Moreover, at this moment, all the masters in the city were drawn by the confrontation between the Golden Body Douluo and the Gluttonous Douluo, so no one would notice him.
Dread Undying seemed crude, but was actually subtle within his roughness. In fact, many times, he only seemed rash because he was too confident in his own power.
But as long as he chose to think, as a Sect Master, his planning was not much inferior to those schemers.
But was he really going to look for spirit bones and spirit beast embryos? Why did it look more like he had raided a home?
"Tu'er, time is of the essence. I didn't have time to interrogate Xiao Hongchen about where he put the spirit bones and embryos. I could only knock him out, then strip every spirit tool off his entire body and bring everything from the whole room here. These Sun and Moon Empire people have spirit tools all over them, and I don't know which ones can store life and which cannot. I was just afraid of missing anything." Dread Undying said.
Yuwentuo couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up, "Sect Master, brilliant!"
This was the true demeanor of a robber. No wasting time arguing with them; visible or invisible, just bring it all back first. At worst, after bringing everything back, they could search through it piece by piece.
"So much. It seems besides the spirit bones and embryos, we also have quite a few spirit tools to study." Yuwentuo said.
"What's there to study? For powerful soul masters, the most important thing is their own power. Spirit tools are external things. Relying on external objects for battle is simply a crooked path. Tu'er, your talent is extraordinary, don't think about taking such shortcuts!" Dread Undying warned.
He was indeed exactly like in the original story, looking down on spirit tools from the bottom of his heart. Little did he know that in the future, his country would be beaten helplessly by spirit tools. Many of the Body Sect's Titled Douluo would suffer three deaths and four severe injuries. Even he himself would die in battle during the assassination campaign against Xu Tianran, and the Body Sect would decline from then on, losing its status as one of the three major powers.
"Don't worry, Sect Master, I know this. But you also said, Sect Master, that spirit tools are of less significance to powerful soul masters, but there are more ordinary soul masters in this world. Perhaps they can also greatly increase their combat power with these." Yuwentuo wouldn't openly advise Dread Undying now. He knew this old stubborn man wouldn't be persuaded until he personally suffered from the drawbacks of spirit tools. Since that was the case, he might as well agree with him, but try to subtly hint at other areas.
"What you said also makes some sense. Alright, if you want to research, then research, but remember not to put the cart before the horse. Cultivating oneself is the right path." Dread Undying warned again, "Alright, you first put all these things away. You can slowly search for them later. Old Jin is causing trouble outside, attracting everyone's attention. I estimate he's almost at his limit. I'll go meet him first. Tu'er, we'll see each other in the finals. I hope you can bring a good gift to Shrek."
With that, Dread Undying's figure flashed and disappeared.
Yuwentuo came before the many spirit tools, and with a pull from his storage spirit tool, he absorbed all of them into his bag. Just as Dread Undying had said, there was no rush for the things already in his hands; he could slowly search through them later.
Soon after, Xuan Zi returned to the inn with the others. Yuwentuo glanced at them, and indeed, they all looked disheveled. It seemed the Golden Body Douluo had given them a slight lesson, which also served to vent Yuwentuo's frustration.
But the problem was Ling Luochen also looked a bit downcast. It seemed he would have to tell Senior Dread Undying next time that this person was his sister and couldn't be harmed casually.
Dai Yueheng, seeing Yuwentuo's leisurely appearance, instantly erupted in anger, "Kid, you're quite comfortable. Not only did you not fight for Shrek even though you participated, but now you don't even want to watch the match. You never participate in group activities. What exactly are you planning to do? I think you should just roll back to the academy immediately."
Looking at him, it seemed he was bullied by the Golden Body Douluo, so he planned to vent his anger on Yuwentuo.
"Silence!"
"Dai Yueheng, shut up!" Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao shouted simultaneously.
Ling Luochen, a step ahead of Ma Xiaotao, continued, "Today's events were caused by the Body Sect. Why are you venting your anger on Xiao Tuo? Did he somehow invite the Body Sect here?"
As expected of Yuwentuo's older sister, she understood him well. She inadvertently spoke the truth: the Body Sect was indeed invited by him.
"Precisely. Dai Yueheng, if you speak to Yuwentuo like that again, I won't be polite." Ma Xiaotao had promised Yuwentuo that as long as he didn't leave her, she wouldn't let anyone bully him again. Now that Yuwentuo had helped her achieve the Ultimate Fire, it was her turn to protect Yuwentuo. Even if Yuwentuo hated her, she didn't care, as long as he didn't leave her, Ma Xiaotao thought to herself.
"You... I'm not the one who's not cooperating with the team now. You're the team's main controller, and you're the team captain. What do you mean by not disciplining him, but disciplining me instead?" Dai Yueheng fumed.
"Enough!" At this moment, Xuan Zi roared. He was truly too disappointed in this group today. They had no sense of unity a team should have, constantly bickering. And the cause of all this was Yuwentuo.
It seemed that after returning, he would still have Yuwentuo return to that room. He might as well not come out for the rest of his life. He was fundamentally an ungrateful wolf, still having no sense of belonging to Shrek. If that was the case, it would be better to confine him. At least Shrek would provide him with good food and drink.
"You're all travel-worn. Go back and rest. Tomorrow's match is against the Dou Ling Imperial Academy. Don't be careless," Elder Xuan ordered.
"Hmph!" Dai Yueheng snorted coldly, gave Yuwentuo a hostile glare, then turned and left.
This time, even Beibei and the others were actually very dissatisfied with Yuwentuo. Throughout the generations of the Shrek Seven Monsters, they had always watched out for each other when encountering enemies. Only in their generation was Yuwentuo out of place with them. Today, they were inexplicably attacked by the Body Sect, and only he, by not being present, remained unharmed. How could they balance their emotions? Although Xiao Xiao also escaped disaster by returning early, she at least participated in the competition with them and toured the auction house with them.
After each giving Yuwentuo a cold glance, everyone returned to their respective rooms.
Ling Luochen stepped forward and straightened Yuwentuo's collar, "Xiao Tuo, don't mind it. We encountered some bad things today, so everyone's in a bad mood. Go back and get some sleep, and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Yuwentuo smiled, "Don't worry, Sister Luochen, I don't mind at all." He never considered them his own people, so how could he care about their thoughts?
After bidding Ling Luochen goodnight, he turned and returned to his room.
Ma Xiaotao hesitated to speak. She also wanted to say goodnight to Yuwentuo, but unfortunately, Yuwentuo didn't cast a single glance her way from beginning to end.
