Chapter 39: Yu Xiaogang's Soul Hunting Operation
The White World, Spirit Hall.
Just like yesterday, the various Priests of the Hall of Worship, Yu Xiaogang, and Bibi Dong were present, now joined by Hu Liena, who was there to watch the fun.
A group of people gathered together just to see today's content.
Looking at the crowd around him, Yu Xiaogang rested his forehead in his hand.
"Hu Liena aside, High Priest, can't you all just watch from your own Hall of Worship?"
"Why must you come to my place to watch?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Qian Daoliu revealed a faint smile.
"Well, naturally because you, the person involved, are right here."
"If there's something we don't understand while watching the heavenly curtain, we can ask you directly since you're nearby."
Beside him, Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded in agreement.
"Exactly. Besides, I feel like this kind of thing is only interesting when watched with a group of people."
The other Priests immediately echoed Gold Crocodile Douluo upon hearing this, expressing that they loved this lively way of watching.
Looking at the group of Priests around him who had become somewhat unruly, Yu Xiaogang was speechless.
It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime sight. A group of people whose strength stood at the very peak of the entire Douluo Continent—even among Titled Douluo, they were the pinnacle—actually acted like this in private.
If the grassroots personnel of Spirit Hall saw this, their eyes would probably pop out!
"Alright, Xiao Gang, if the High Priest and the others want to watch, let them. It doesn't get in the way anyway."
"But then again, attaching a pig-type Spirit Beast's spirit ring to a little dragon?"
Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Xiaogang, a feeling of wanting to complain but not knowing how to start suppressed in her heart.
"One can only say that following him was truly eight lifetimes of bad luck for that little dragon."
Yu Xiaogang finished the thought Bibi Dong was about to say.
"Yes, exactly! I feel a bit sorry for the little dragon over there. Such a powerful Spirit, yet it encountered such a master."
Bibi Dong looked at the Yu Xiaogang on the heavenly curtain with a face full of contempt.
His talent was poor to begin with, yet he was unwilling to listen to the advice of the strong. It's no wonder a person like this couldn't compare to her husband.
[The video continues...]
[After a period of dispute, Yu Yuanzhen still insisted on attaching a dragon-type spirit ring to Luo San Pao.]
[However, Yu Xiaogang also firmly believed that he was the one who was correct.]
[The two were at a deadlock, so Yu Xiaogang developed the idea of going to obtain a spirit ring himself.]
[Spirit Beasts like the Thunder Fanged Pig could be found in the Thunder Forest not far from Blue Lightning City. He only needed to spend some money to hire surrounding Spirit Masters to help him obtain a spirit ring.]
[No sooner said than done. The next day, while Yu Yuanzhen was busy with Sect matters, Yu Xiaogang quickly packed his bags, took some money from home, and set out on the path to obtain his first spirit ring.]
[Leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Xiaogang traveled quickly through the towns, his goal aimed straight for the Thunder Forest.]
[Before long, Yu Xiaogang successfully arrived at the edge of the Thunder Forest.]
[Here, he hired a Soul Hunting Squad for the price of one thousand gold coin.]
[Looking at the Soul Hunting Squad won over by his money, Yu Xiaogang lifted his chin proudly.]
[Hiring these people to help him obtain a spirit ring would only happen this once.]
[Once he successfully obtained his first spirit ring and proved his conclusion correct, the next time he needed a spirit ring, there would be powerful experts from the Family to help.]
[In the future, he would grow into a powerful expert step by step under his own theories.]
[Poor talent?]
[Talent couldn't limit him. He would prove to everyone that even with incredibly poor talent, he could change everything with his wisdom.]
[Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang glanced at the Soul Hunting Squad, who were beaming with joy after receiving the one thousand gold coin.]
["Hmph, a bunch of blind fools who can only see the money in front of them, having no idea what they are missing out on today."]
[Glancing contemptuously at the group he had hired, Yu Xiaogang's heart had already begun to fantasize about a day in the future when his name would be famous throughout the Douluo Continent.]
[By that time, information about him would surely be spread by everyone.]
[When these few people saw his news then and looked back on today's events, they would surely be full of regret and beat their chests.]
[To have failed to properly curry favor with a powerhouse in his youth—what a massive loss that would be.]
["Alright, let's set out!"]
[Seeing the team still celebrating, Yu Xiaogang spoke up to remind them.]
["Alright! Rest assured, customer. A Thunder Fanged Pig, right? We guarantee your satisfaction!"]
[The members of the Soul Hunting Squad stepped forward with smiles upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.]
[They naturally noticed Yu Xiaogang's high-and-mighty attitude and his look of disdain toward them.]
[But what did that matter? This was one thousand gold coin!]
[According to the market price here at the Thunder Forest, normally joining a Soul Hunting Squad and acting with them would cost ten gold coin a day.]
[If an individual directly hired a whole squad to serve him, the price was generally fifty to five hundred gold coin.]
[If someone could offer five hundred gold coin, the required Spirit Beast would already be very dangerous, with an age around four to five hundred years.]
[For someone like Yu Xiaogang, who was obtaining his first spirit ring, to directly offer one thousand gold coin was simply a once-in-a-century occurrence.]
[For this kind of person, if they could, they would even be willing to treat him like a deity.]
[After some preparation, the Soul Hunting Squad brought Yu Xiaogang to the entrance of the forest.]
[The Soul Hunting Squad was about to present their warrant, but unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward first and took out a medallion.]
[Upon seeing the medallion, the soldiers responsible for checking warrants immediately showed respectful expressions.]
["Boss, what kind of medallion is that?"]
[A member of the Soul Hunting Squad asked their captain curiously.]
["Hiss, I thought he was just a rich guy, but it turns out his status is also extraordinary."]
["That thing is a high-level medallion from Spirit Hall; it's not something ordinary people can possess."]
["I heard that there aren't many in the entire Douluo Continent. It's only because we're close to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect that we know about these things."]
[The captain of the Soul Hunting Squad said with a solemn expression.]
["Captain, you mean...?"]
["Exactly. That guy is most likely from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and someone with an extraordinary background at that. I just don't know why someone like him would hire us to help him hunt for a soul."]
[The Soul Hunting Squad discussed fervently behind Yu Xiaogang's back.]
[Yu Xiaogang, up ahead, felt a surge of pleasure as he saw the solemn expressions on the faces of the Soul Hunting Squad members.]
[Luckily, he had secretly taken out his father's pontiffs token. Otherwise, if he had to use the Soul Hunting Squad's warrant to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, wouldn't he have been looked down upon?]
[This current situation of shocking everyone fit Yu Xiaogang's expectations perfectly.]
[However, Yu Xiaogang was still somewhat dissatisfied.]
["Right now, I'm holding my father's pontiffs token; I'm still borrowing my father's prestige."]
["Just wait. Sooner or later, I will have a pontiffs token of my own!"]
["I believe that day will not be too far away."]
