Speaking of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang San thought of Yu Xiaogang.
This guy developed such a personality, most likely because he was disappointed by the gap between his expectations and reality when he awakened his martial soul. He was also the son of the clan leader, and the clan members had opinions on him.
Before awakening his martial soul, he was the son of the clan leader, and could be said to be the chosen one of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Even when he was young, he must have been instilled with a lot of the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and his personality must have been very proud.
After awakening his martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon mutated into a detached martial soul, which was fine, but his innate soul power was only half a level.
This gap must have made him feel inferior.
Pride and inferiority, two emotions mixed, shaped Yu Xiaogang's current personality, and also his emotional frustration. Speaking of this, Tang San had to complain, that was the original story of Douluo Continent, which was caused by Yu Xiaogang's two relationships.
But Yu Xiaogang was also irresponsible.
Not to mention Bibi Dong's relationship line, just Liu Erlong's line, Yu Xiaogang was told that Liu Erlong was his cousin, and he couldn't accept it at first, so he ran away, which was understandable.
After all, as long as it was a normal person, on the wedding day, suddenly being told by his uncle that the bride he was going to marry was his illegitimate daughter, his mind would explode and he would not be able to accept it.
Choosing to escape at the first time was actually okay, it was human nature, and understandable.
But Yu Xiaogang hid for so many years, and never wrote back, wasn't that a bit too much? Could it be that he still hadn't accepted the fact? That was too cowardly.
Thinking of this, Tang San withdrew his divergent thoughts, and continued to say to Xiao Wu: "And the lower four sects are the Elephant Armor Sect, the Holy Dragon Sect, the Star Crown Sect, and the White Tiger Sect."
"The Elephant Armor Sect, their martial soul is the Diamond Mammoth, which has a strong defense and strength; the Holy Dragon Sect, their martial soul is the Yalong, the White Armored Earth Dragon; the Star Crown Sect, their martial soul is the Star Crown, which is said to be able to condense the power of the stars to cultivate; the White Tiger Sect, is the sect of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, to prevent the White Tiger lineage from being cut off, after all, the Star Luo royal family did so much, if they did too much, something went wrong, the White Tiger's inheritance would be broken."
"The upper three sects, all have Titled Douluo; and the lower four sects, the strongest are Soul Douluo."
Xiao Wu memorized carefully, and secretly thought: in the future, before fighting, I must ask clearly about the other party's origin, otherwise I will hit the grandson, and the grandfather will come, whether it is Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo, I will be done.
After saying these, Tang San and Xiao Wu had already arrived at a small restaurant in Nuoding City.
"You order, but don't waste." Tang San said.
"Don't worry, I'm famous for cherishing food in Nuoding Academy." Xiao Wu patted her chest without any scale, and by the way, she wrapped the scorpion braid behind her in her arms.
The scorpion braid was too long, and when she sat down, it hung to the ground.
Tang San frowned and said, "Your hair is too long, and you don't have any long-range attack abilities, close combat is actually very disadvantageous."
If it was a regular soul master, it would be fine, after all, there were rules for the competition, some parts of the body could not be attacked, and they could not pull hair, poke eyes, etc.
But if they encountered robbers or evil fallen ones in the soul hunting, they would not talk about martial ethics, and use whatever they could.
According to the "Continental Travel Biography" of the Spirit Hall, Tang San knew that many civilian soul masters were killed by ordinary people when they traveled.
Soul masters were stronger than ordinary people, but they were also flesh and blood. If they were caught off guard by ordinary people, they suddenly sprinkled a handful of lime or something, and the soul masters would not react for a while.
In Tang San's view, Xiao Wu's long braid, if it could not be turned into an advantage, it was a burden, and it was better to cut it.
"I can't cut it." Xiao Wu guarded her scorpion tail braid vigilantly, afraid that Tang San would secretly cut it off, "My mother used to comb my hair often, this is a beautiful memory."
"Okay, I'll try to make your hair your advantage."
Tang San no longer mentioned cutting his hair, and as for the application of this scorpion tail braid, he thought of a cartoon he had seen in his previous life that described the daily life of assassins. The female protagonist was similar to Xiao Wu, with a scorpion braid, but the end was tied with a gun head, which could be used as a short sword, and it was very flexible.
By the way, if there was really a short sword tied to the hair, could it be used as a hair accessory, rather than a weapon?
This was a question worth thinking about.
But the right of interpretation must be in the hands of the organizers of the competition.
At this time, Xiao Wu had already ordered the food, and the waiter quickly brought the food up, mostly vegetarian, but also meat, such as: chicken, lamb.
After eating, Xiao Wu planned to go back to Nuoding Academy and asked Tang San, "Are you going back?"
"Yes, I need to ask Teacher Mo Hen for a long vacation." Tang San nodded, "And, about some theories, I need to find some information in the library of the school, you'd better follow along, it's good for you."
"No way? Seeing those words, I have a headache, let alone those thick books." Xiao Wu complained, turning her eyes, thinking of excuses.
"Then do whatever you want, anyway, you haven't even recognized all the common words, just go to my place every day to exercise, I'll see the progress." Tang San didn't intend to force Xiao Wu to study, he understood that forcing people to read books, they would never learn, "By the way, don't tell Wang Sheng and the others about the tree climbing method."
Xiao Wu puzzled: "Why? Are you afraid they will learn it?"
"I'm just afraid that someone will follow the vine and find me." Tang San said, "They don't even have level ten soul power, they can only climb three or four times, and their soul power will be almost consumed, and they will probably give up afterwards, and besides, this is also a kind of self-created soul skill."
"Do you know the value of self-created soul skills? Powerful self-created soul skills, even 100,000-year soul bones can't compare."
"I don't want to be forced to join here and there by the soul masters and title douluos of various clans before I grow up, the feeling of being involuntary is not comfortable."
"And we train in the Spirit Hall, which is more secretive."
Hearing soul masters and titled douluos, Xiao Wu immediately agreed, and promised not to tell Wang Sheng and the others.
Compared to Tang San, Xiao Wu actually had no choice.
The two returned to Nuoding Academy and found that Yu Xiaogang was still standing at the door. When he saw them coming back, he quickly walked towards them, full of confidence.
Xiao Wu was disgusted with him: "Is this guy stupid? He stood outside for so long."
Tang San said: "He must not have been standing all the time, he probably thought we would go back to school for lunch, after all, we are work-study students, we don't have that much money, so he didn't want to give up taking us as disciples, he should have eaten early and waited at the door."
At this time, Yu Xiaogang also walked to the front of the two and said, "Xiao Wu, Tang San, are you really unwilling to worship me as your teacher?"
"Unwilling." Xiao Wu looked disgusted, still the same as before, no emotional intelligence, "You can't protect us from growing up, what's the use of worshipping you as a teacher?"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said kindly, "But, I am a theory master, I can help you choose better soul rings, and let you get the best soul skills."
The lower four sects really only have soul masters, in the original story, Hu yanzhen, the sect master of the Holy Dragon Sect, only broke through to titled douluo after joining the Spirit Hall, especially Hu yanzhen, before the decisive battle, he was only level ninety, and he didn't get the ninth soul ring, he was stabbed to death by a harpoon
