Chapter 2: Heading to Heaven Dou City
Chapter 2: Heading to Heaven Dou City
Bibi Dong watched as the student she had just enrolled, left with Gu Douluo. She let out a helpless yawn. In this little guy, Bibi Dong saw a shadow of someone familiar. Both were considered useless, yet they possessed a relentless drive to improve. But there were differences between them. One was clueless and chose to escape when faced with challenges, while the other was keenly aware of his situation and, even if not exactly calm and collected, at least didn't resort to avoidance. This was why Bibi Dong hadn't slapped a certain someone to death.
"Yu Xiaogang, I wonder what interesting things will happen when you meet that little guy in the future? After all, in a sense, he's a lot like you, just with a different personality."
Bibi Dong found herself muttering to herself but quickly snapped out of her thoughts, letting out a soft laugh as she shook her head. She picked up a file that Gu Douluo had brought with him and coldly smirked.
"The Wuhun Temple has become too chaotic. It's time for a thorough cleaning!"
......
"Kid, do you plan to obtain your own soul ring through your efforts after arriving in Heaven Dou City, or should I hunt down a soul beast for you while I'm taking you there?"
Gu Douluo, with Wang Si in tow, moved swiftly through the mountains like a ghost. He casually asked a question along the way.
"I heard that absorbing a soul ring takes several hours, Brother Gui. Let's just keep going," Wang Si replied.
Hearing this, Gu Douluo nodded without uttering pointless words like "let's not waste time."
It would only take him three days to travel back and forth between Wuhun City and Heaven Dou Imperial City by himself. If they stopped along the way to find a soul beast for this kid to absorb a soul ring from, it might take up most of a day.
Gu Douluo didn't want to waste time with this kid. His Holiness had informed him of the boy's true situation. His Holiness only wanted to use the boy's teacher's name to discipline those Wuhun Temple members with different intentions. As for this unlucky fellow who hadn't even awakened his Wuhun yet, he wasn't even on His Holiness's radar.
If he recalled correctly, His Holiness, the Pope, despised men. How could he possibly accept a male student?
As for sending him to Heaven Dou as a spy, a six-year-old spy? That was just a joke! He guessed that His Holiness just didn't want to see this guy around and came up with a reason to send him away.
......
"I won't take you all the way to Heaven Dou City, as it would be too easy for others to notice you there. However, I will inform the Wuhun Temple in Heaven Dou City, and you can seek their help if you encounter any difficulties."
Gu Douluo set Wang Si down, gave him a brief explanation, and then disappeared.
After being dragged through the air for several days, Wang Si finally felt a sense of solid ground beneath his feet. However, having flown for so long, the sudden landing made him a bit unsteady, and he stumbled and fell to the ground after taking only a few steps.
He gave up on the idea of standing up and lay on the ground, taking the time to reminisce about the events since he came to this world.
He was born in Wuhun City, and his parents held very high positions there. But when he was four years old, his father accompanied the Pope, Qian Xunji, on a hunt for a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Ultimately, his father perished in that ambush, and Qian Xunji returned to the Wuhun Temple badly injured. However, he soon passed away as well.
After Qian Xunji's death, many rogue soul masters emerged on the continent, as everyone believed that the Wuhun Temple was now weak and vulnerable.
His mother had gone to deal with those rogue soul masters at the time and never returned.
Orphaned, Wang Si was treated well by the Wuhun Temple. Although he never received his parents' pension, he received a monthly allowance as an orphan, which was enough for him.
Additionally, he also gained a special ability—a game system.
There were no flashy system sprites, tedious system tasks, pay-to-win system shops, or luck-based gacha systems.
Instead, he had a straightforward interface that allowed him to visually track his daily progress. It provided better feedback on his current physical condition and could also freely dismantle and enhance soul rings.
He had expected to be born with full soul power, and with this ability, his innate soul power level continued to rise.
His martial soul was a bodily martial soul that no one on the continent had researched or recorded: Bones.
Not the bones of a specific body part, but the bones of his entire body.
In fact, if it weren't for his game interface providing specific information about his martial soul, he wouldn't have believed that bones could be his power.
After understanding his condition, Wang Si didn't intend to boast about it. His game system guaranteed that his strength would increase as time passed.
However, he was still sent to meet Pope Bibi Dong, but that wasn't the start of a happy and carefree life; on the contrary, it marked the end of his peaceful days.
Thinking of this, Wang Si felt a bit melancholy.
At first, he didn't realize the significance of being presented to Bibi Dong; he thought it was just a regular introduction.
It wasn't until he inadvertently saw people sneering at him that he understood the situation was amiss!
When Bibi Dong offered to take him as her student, he agreed without hesitation, intending to cling to her for protection.
That way, those who wanted to harm him later would have to consider the weight of her influence.
Little did he expect that Bibi Dong didn't truly plan to accept him as her disciple.
However, Bibi Dong wasn't entirely heartless; at the very least, she sent him to Heaven Dou City, far from Wuhun City, where trouble was less likely to find him.
As for becoming a spy in Heaven Dou City, neither of them took that idea seriously.
What could be expected of a six-year-old child? It would be impressive if he could just take care of himself.
In his past life, Wang Si didn't have an impressive identity, but he could manage to be independent.
Additionally, Wang Si wasn't the useless, soulless waste that the Wuhun Temple members made him out to be, so he was determined to cultivate diligently.
Coming to the Heaven Dou Empire, one of his goals was to see if he could find an opportunity to interact with the celestial herb, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye.
As for whether contacting the herb would create resentment with Tang San...
In fact, that resentment had already formed, as his parents in this life had died because of Tang Hao. Instead of thinking about how to resolve the misunderstanding, it was better to focus on how to survive...
......
"To obtain the first soul ring at the age of eight, the Crown Prince's talent is truly enviable."
Outside of Heaven Dou City, in a royal soul hunting ground, an elderly man watched as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince absorbed his first soul ring, a broad smile on his face.
The current Heaven Dou Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, was only seven or eight years old, and he stood up, feeling the changes in his body with surprise.
"Grandmaster Xue, my first soul skill is Thousand Feather Fall."
As Xue Qinghe spoke, he released his martial soul, and the yellow soul ring attached to it lit up.
Then, white feathers fell from his pure white wings, and these feathers, transformed from energy, landed on Xue Qinghe's hands, giving him a warm feeling.
Finding it amusing, Xue Qinghe allowed his soul power to be consumed as he played, looking like a happy child.
The old man smiled as he saw this, as the Crown Prince rarely had time to enjoy himself with his busy studies.
After playing for about a minute, Xue Qinghe's soul power was completely depleted, and he stumbled, unable to stand.
The old man quickly supported him.
"Your Highness, since we've successfully hunted a soul ring, let's return to the royal city."
The old man said, unable to hold back a smile as he added, "Your Highness, we planned for three days, but it's been four days already. Including the day we'll spend traveling back, Your Highness will have to make up for two days' worth of lessons."
Upon hearing about making up for lessons, the Crown Prince, who had been forcing himself to stand, plopped down onto the ground.
"Grandmaster Xue, let me play for just one more day, just one! I promise to make up for these days' lessons when I return."
