Douluo's arrogance

Su Hongtao took Zhao Bai to the second floor of Wuhun Palace. There was a row of rooms in the corridor on the second floor. Su Hongtao stopped in front of a room door and knocked on the door, "Master Matthew No., are you free now?"

"Come in." A slightly older voice came from the room. Su Hongtao opened the door and walked into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a large desk, and sitting behind it was an old man wearing a soul master's costume with white hair and a white beard.

"It turns out to be Hong Tao. I haven't seen you for a while. His cultivation has increased again. It seems that in a few years he will cross the threshold of level and become a soul master. You should talk to your brother carefully when you go back and ask him to change. Change your irritable temper and learn more from you, otherwise you will be like me and stay at the stage of a great soul master forever." The old man stared at Hong Tao and warned.

"Master Matthew Nuo is right, I will pay attention when I go back. Today I brought this child for advanced appraisal. It is said that I helped him awaken his martial spirit." Su Hongtao politely told Ma Xiu Nuo said a simple hello, patted Zhao Bai's junior gently, and motioned for Zhao Bai to come forward.

Matthew Nuo turned his attention to Zhao Bai behind Su Hongtao, and asked kindly: "My child, how old are you this year? What is the martial spirit?"

"Hello, Master Matthew Nuo, I am eight years old this year, and my martial spirit is Qing Niu."

Matthew Nuo looked at Zhao Bai kindly, "No need to call me Master, I can't bear the title of Master. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Matthew Nuo."

"Okay, Grandpa Matthew Nuo."

"Come with me, grandpa will take you for advanced appraisal now." Matthew Nuo smiled, took Zhao Bai's hand and walked out of the room, walked along the corridor to the inside, and walked to the three arches at the end. , pushed open the leftmost arch and entered it.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Bai felt that his soul power was more lively, running more smoothly, and his mood became happier.

Matthew Nuo took Zhao Bai and stood in the center of the huge token-shaped pattern. In the token, a huge sword hung straight down, pointing directly at the entrance of the gate.

"Let's start now, display your martial soul and release your soul ring."

"Possessed by a martial spirit." The clothes on his body were torn apart by muscles again, revealing a majestic dark body, sharp and thick horns, snow-white hooves, and an ox tail swinging behind him on both sides and falling to the ground. A bright century-old soul ring fell from The feet rose up, floating up and down with him as the center.

Mathieu Nuo still had a gentle smile on his face. When he saw Zhao Bai's martial soul possessing him, his expression turned into astonishment, "Is this the Qing Niu martial soul?" Then his attention shifted to the yellow halo on Zhao Bai's body. "It turns out it's a hundred-year spirit ring. It's strange. Even if it's a hundred-year spirit ring, it shouldn't cause such a big change in the beast's martial spirit. It's strange."

Su Hongtao was also puzzled, how could he have changed so much when he was clearly an ordinary Qingniu martial spirit when he awakened? His brother's possession had not changed in any way even after absorbing the century-old spirit ring.

Matthew Nuo lowered his head and touched his white beard, but he couldn't figure it out, "Child, I don't know your name yet? How did your martial spirit become like this? Who is your teacher? If it's inconvenient, You don’t have to say it.”

"My name is Zhao Bai. I don't know why, but I became like this after absorbing the hundred-year-old powerful buffalo soul ring. I didn't join the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. Where did the teacher come from? I practiced alone." Mr. Zhao Bai Answered matter-of-factly.

"No teacher? Then how did you hunt the century-old buffalo? Although the powerful buffalo is relatively easy to kill among low-level soul beasts, it is also a century-old soul beast." Matthew Nuo was shocked. A tenth-level soul warrior could kill a century-old soul beast. beast?

"I'm not lying to you, I killed the powerful buffalo by myself."

Matthew Nuo didn't look like he was lying, and his expression became serious, "Child, are you willing to join the Spirit Hall?" No matter what method is used, without the guidance of a mentor, he can cultivate to the tenth level of soul power in two years. , this child's potential is definitely very high, and the century-old spirit ring has increased his upper limit.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Mathieu Nuo. I know that joining the Wuhun Palace will be of great benefit to me, but I still have to refuse. I am used to freedom and don't want to be restricted." Zhao Bai shook his head. This was his true words. He didn't have much interaction with Wuhundian. Wuhundian helped him awaken his martial soul. Although it was official business, it also gave a peasant boy like Zhao Bai a chance. He was grateful, not to mention resentful.

"Okay, since you are determined to do so, we will force it." Seeing his determined expression, Matthew Nuo sighed, glared at Su Hongtao who was standing beside him, and then picked up the table from the side. A yellow crystal ball, "Put your soul power into it and let me see how many levels you have reached. Theoretically, you should be at level eleven."

Zhao Bai took the crystal ball and poured soul power into it. The crystal ball instantly glowed with a layer of yellow brilliance.

"This is level soul power." Mathieu Nuo was surprised. All advanced appraisals in Notting City are his job. In so many years, he has never seen his soul power reach level just after he obtained the soul ring. The person said, "It should be because your soul ring is strong, and your soul power has also increased. My child, how old is the powerful buffalo you hunted?"

"Two hundred years, less than three hundred years."

Matthew Nuo took a long breath, calmed down the regret in his heart, and glared at Su Hongtao again, "My child, you have completed the advanced appraisal. From now on, you will be a glorious member of the Tiandou Empire." You are a soul master. Later you go to the front desk to get your badge. Every month, you can use your badge to come to Wuhun Hall to receive a subsidy. The subsidy for a soul master is one gold soul coin every month. When you become a great soul Master, the subsidy will also be turned into ten gold soul coins."

"Then if you get above the great soul master, will the subsidies be greater?"

"You are quite greedy at such a young age." Matthew Nuo teased, and then explained patiently, "The subsidy is from the empire, and is distributed by the Wuhun Palace. The subsidy is only given to the soul master level, and you can receive it every month One hundred gold soul coins. Once you surpass the Soul Master, the subsidy will be cancelled. As for why, you will know when your soul power reaches level . Don’t think too much now, it’s business to practice with peace of mind.”

"I understand, thank you for telling me this, Grandpa Matthewno." A little disappointed, but also greedy. Zhao Bai also knew in his heart that a soul master could receive one thousand two hundred gold soul coins every year, but what about more than that? According to the distribution ratio, Soul Saint can receive million gold soul coins in one year. What about Contra? What about Titled Douluo? What a huge number that is. Not to mention that the country doesn’t have so much money. Even if it does, it won’t be wasted like this.

"From now on, you will have a soul power test every month when you come to Wuhun Palace. Once it is determined that your soul power exceeds level , the subsidies will stop unless you choose to be loyal to the royal family. You don't need to think about this now. You can think about it later when you become stronger. It’s not too late. Okay, you can follow Hong Tao to get the badge.”

Walking out of the Wuhun Hall, Zhao Bai had a round badge and a gold soul coin on his body. His name was engraved on the back of the badge, and there were two intertwined thorns on the front.

The sun has already set, and the street lights are on one after another, but it doesn't look dim at all.

We found a restaurant nearby to have dinner, and then found a hotel to rest for the night.

The next morning, Zhao Bai did not go to Ke Shan immediately. Ke Shan still had business to do. After Zhao Bai finished breakfast, he stayed in his room to practice. It was not until noon that he walked to the city gate to wait for Ke Shan.

When he returned home, he saw Zhao's father and Zhao's mother sitting under the door enjoying the cool air. Zhao Bai had a narrow escape from death this time. Tears welled up in his eyes the moment he saw his relatives, and he wanted to talk to them about many things.

"You're back. You can go ahead with the afternoon herding cattle. Have you had lunch? If not, go and cook it yourself. There is still some food left." Zhao Bai's emotion was shattered by the words of his relative. .

fair enough.

"Brother Niu, you haven't seen me for a week, have you missed me?" He stroked Brother Niu's skin, took off the rope, jumped on the cow's back, and moved smoothly.

Walking on the road, after returning from the Soul Hunting Forest, the fields, pedestrians, wild grass and wild flowers that he had seen countless times became different in Zhao Bai's eyes. The villagers are more friendly, the wild grass and flowers are more colorful, and the fields are more golden. He found that he liked this village even more.

When passing by the blacksmith shop in the village, Zhao Bai went in and bought some ropes, a groove plane, an axe, and a two-meter-long cloth strip.

We came to the place where cows usually graze and sat on a familiar stone. Seeing the green cow eating grass hesitantly, and his sister lying on the broad cow's back and refusing to get off, yes, he took his sister out again.

The green ox walked very steadily and slowly, and would stay in one place for a long time while grazing. Zhao Bai was not too worried that his sister would fall off.

After a warm breeze blew, Zhao Bai jumped off the rock, picked up the ax and walked towards a big tree.

After becoming a soul master, the Bull Demon Powerful Fist also broke through to the second level, and his strength increased greatly. Zhao Bai could fully draw the horn bow at will without being possessed by a martial spirit.

Soon, the half-meter-thick tree was cut directly. Zhao Bai cut off a tree body about centimeters long, used grooves to plan out a barrel shape, punched holes on both sides of the barrel and tied ropes to hang it on a big tree. , a rough version of the swing is ready.

Next, Zhao Bai found two trees about three meters apart, and tied ropes to the four corners of the two-meter-long cloth strip. The other end of the rope was knotted and fixed on the trees, and a simple hammock was ready. . He pulled it, and it was still firm.

Zhao Bai approached the green cow. His sister was already lying on the cow's back and fell asleep. She was sucking her little fist unconsciously, and a trace of water flowed from the corner of her mouth to the cow's back. Zhao Bai gently took out his little fist, picked her up, and placed her on the newly made hammock.

Under the shade of the trees, bits of sunlight shine through the leaves. The breeze blows slowly and the hammock sways slowly in the air.

Zhao Bai watched for a while and saw that his sister showed no sign of waking up, so he walked aside and started practicing the "Ox Demon Powerful Fist".
