"Brother Wei, you are my brother, truly my real brother. I've done what you asked—when will you help me take action?"
At the gates of Lanba Academy, Feng Xiaotian kept chattering behind Yu Xiaowei, attracting the attention of many students who pointed and whispered.
The day before yesterday, Feng Xiaotian went to the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City to report Tang San, and eagerly ran off to find Yu Xiaowei.
However, he waited and waited, but didn't see Yu Xiaowei all day.
When he asked the Lanba Academy students, everyone claimed they didn't know, so he simply squatted at the academy gates for a full day.
So when he saw Yu Xiaowei this morning, his eyes lit up green, and he chased after Yu Xiaowei like a hungry wolf.
"Brother Wei, my informants at Blazing Academy say Huo Wu has reached level 40, and she'll be going on a soul ring hunt in a few days."
"This is a great opportunity!"
"Brother Wei, when will you help me carry out this script? This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"
Hearing the chatter behind him and noticing the pointing and murmuring of the students, Yu Xiaowei's temples throbbed.
This guy wasn't like this in the battle arena—why did he turn into such a shameless fool whenever Huo Wu was mentioned?
If Feng Xiaotian were currently possessed by his martial spirit, people might actually see his wolf tail wagging.
"A bootlicker never gets the girl."
After cursing in Blue Star language, Yu Xiaowei began thinking about the script he had prepared for Feng Xiaotian.
Actually, Feng Xiaotian's original script wasn't bad.
But the problem was, Huo Wu had already seen it. Even if he didn't reveal his martial spirit at that time, his voice and physique were still easily recognizable.
Moreover, he hadn't held back at all during the attack. Feng Xiaotian thought his "hero saves the beauty" idea was brilliant, but feared he wouldn't be able to restrain himself and would end up beating someone again.
After reviewing the script in his mind, Yu Xiaowei asked:
"When exactly is Huo Wu going on her soul ring hunt?"
Hearing Yu Xiaowei finally speak, Feng Xiaotian's face lit up with joy, and he quickly replied:
"It's set for three days from now, at Sunset Forest."
"Alright, deal."
Feng Xiaotian let out a big sigh of relief.
He had been worried Yu Xiaowei would refuse to help, and now that he finally got a positive answer, he was relieved.
"Come meet me at Lanba Academy in three days. I'll go with you."
"Alright, Brother Wei!"
Feng Xiaotian left with a big smile on his face, and as he watched him go, Yu Xiaowei revealed a faint smile.
The Spirit Hall now knew that Tang San was Tang Hao's son.
Excellent. That's perfect.

In a small, dark room.
Tang San was so hungry he felt dizzy, scribbling something on paper.
His hand was numb, and he had no idea how many words he had written, but it definitely wasn't 100,000 yet.
Fortunately, someone brought him water every day—otherwise, he would have died from not eating or drinking for three days.
And that damned Yu Xiaowei wouldn't even let him sleep. Whenever he dozed off, Yu Tianheng would bang on the door and wake him up.
Luckily, he had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye and his mental strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Soul Master. Otherwise, after three days and nights without sleep or food, he would have been at the edge of collapse.
"Ah, I really want to eat spicy rabbit head..."
Tang San sighed softly. He was truly starving and could no longer bear it.
Outside the small dark room, Yu Xiaowei quietly listened to the movements inside.
Though the pen sounds on paper were somewhat weak, they weren't too faint—it seemed Tang San's physical and mental state was still decent. He could hold on for two more days.
After patting Yu Tianheng on the shoulder and leaving the room's responsibility to him, Yu Xiaowei turned and left.
The Spirit Hall would arrive soon—so it was time to cast his net!
Originally, he planned to wait until the Soul Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect reached level 90 before making a move.
But now there was no more time. Dugu Bo's earlier gaze at Xiao Wu was a bad sign.
This 100,000-year-old rabbit was already spooked. If Yu Xiaowei hadn't deprived her of food with the temptation of rabbit meat, she might have run away by now.
Additionally, he had to factor in Tang Hao's combat strength. The longer they waited, the less safe it became.
So he decided to strike first and capture Xiao Wu himself.
If the plan succeeded, Tang Hao wouldn't be able to retaliate, and he could then wait for the Soul Douluo to hit level 90.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo—rare visitors during ordinary days—were now standing in the hall with Yu Yuanzhen, observing the flamboyant young man before them.
After staring at the youth's long hair for a while, Gu Rong touched his bald head and couldn't help speaking first:
"You? Is that Dugu Bo?"
"Hmph."
Dugu Bo proudly raised his chin.
Even Yu Yuanzhen, normally calm before outsiders, couldn't hide his surprise.
"That really is Dugu Bo. When he was young, he was a famed playboy like Luo Mian. I brought Luo Mian home back then and saw this face many times."
Gu Rong's eyes instantly lit up. He rushed over to Dugu Bo, slung an arm around his shoulders, and asked in a hushed voice:
"Brother Dugu, how did your hair grow back? I've tried every potion under the sun, yet I can't grow even a strand now."
"Ask your grandson-in-law. If it weren't for him, I'd be as bald as you!"
"Xiaowei? Xiaowei helped you grow your hair?"
Gu Rong was stunned to hear Dugu Bo's words.
Like Dugu Bo, he had long been tormented by his bald head. Now that his grandson-in-law had this ability, why worry about not regaining his once-dashing appearance?
"Uncle, Uncle Ning, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, Senior Dugu, apologies for being late."
Just as Yu Xiaowei's name was mentioned, all five looked toward the door and saw him walking in with a scroll under his arm.
Gu Rong immediately greeted him warmly.
"Good grandson-in-law, come sit with Grandpa here."
Yu Yuanzhen gave a dissatisfied snort but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Yu Xiaowei and asked:
"Xiaowei, why did you call the five of us here?"
"Has the Soul Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect reached level 90?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned and replied promptly:
"No, Lin Li still needs at least half a year to break through, even with all our sect's resources focused on him."
"Honored elders, please hear me out first."
"We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—someone is willing to help us confront Tang Hao first. So I've decided to begin our plan to capture the 100,000-year soul beast ahead of schedule."
Yu Xiaowei's words shocked all five of them.
Where did this benevolent person come from—someone willing to take on Tang Hao for them?
It wasn't that they lacked confidence, but Tang Hao's legendary track record was overwhelming.
Even if the five of them were confident, facing a Title Douluo with terrifying offensive power meant they couldn't help but worry about unforeseen consequences.
Yu Xiaowei smiled at them as he unfurled a map of Heaven Dou City on the table.
"Roughly two days from now, that benevolent person will arrive."
"Honored elders, let's first plan the interception routes for the soul beast."
"Then, we'll make a detailed plan to ensure we capture the 100,000-year soul beast without offending either the Clear Sky Sect or the one helping us."
