I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 27: Long Gong's Gratitude, Arrival of Sword Douluo

"Meng Yiran, kneel down and kowtow to His Excellency!"

After Meng Yiran retracted her Eight Spider Lances, Long Gong spoke solemnly.

Kowtow? Qin Xiao shook his head, "No need for such formalities. This was her chance."

In fact, if it weren't for Qin Xiao being unable to absorb the soul ring himself, he might have been tempted to try it himself.

Meanwhile, the She Po added, "Your Excellency, don't be modest. If it weren't for you severely injuring that soul beast, we wouldn't know how long it would have taken to track it down. It might have ended up like that Phoenix-tailed Chicken Crown Snake."

She couldn't continue beyond this point.

Indeed, if not for Qin Xiao, she would have had to contend with Zhao Wuji for the Phoenix-tailed Chicken Crown Snake.

Wouldn't that mean no external spirit bone?
On the other hand, Qin Xiao revealed a mysterious smile upon hearing the Snake Witch's words.

She was right.

If he hadn't acted, the Human-faced Demon Spider would have become Tang San's soul ring, and the external spirit bone would have belonged to Tang San.

"Your Excellency, if it weren't for you, with mine and my wife's knowledge, we wouldn't have known Meng Yiran's condition and would have surely disturbed her absorption of the external spirit bone, possibly causing her irreparable harm."

Long Gong then said to Meng Yiran, "Yiran, aren't you going to thank His Excellency?"

Hearing this, Meng Yiran knelt down promptly and said sincerely to Qin Xiao, "Your Excellency, I am indebted to you. Please accept my deepest gratitude."

With that, she bowed deeply, her forehead hitting the ground so hard it made a 'thud' sound.

At this point, Qin Xiao could only accept her gratitude gracefully.

However, his appreciation for Meng Yiran increased significantly.

Apart from anything else, just for her honest and straightforward nature.

"Your Excellency, are you leaving?"

At this moment, Long Gong noticed Qin Xiao's intention to leave and quickly asked.

Why wouldn't he leave? What was he supposed to do, stay for a banquet? Qin Xiao thought to himself.

However, Long Gong then said, "Your Excellency, if you ever need anything in the future, just say the word. Even if it means climbing mountains of swords or descending into seas of flames, I won't hesitate."

This wasn't an exaggeration. The value of a growth-type external spirit bone was immense.

It was priceless!

After hearing Long Gong's words, Qin Xiao just smiled and walked away.

"Your Excellency, if you happen to pass by the Ten Thousand Beast Academy, please come for a visit."

As Qin Xiao was about to vanish from sight, Meng Yiran called out sweetly.

"Sure."

Qin Xiao's voice echoed from a distance.

"Er Ming!"

"Er Ming!"

Near the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu leaned against a large tree, her eyes closed tightly, her brow furrowed, calling out urgently.

She seemed to be having a nightmare.

Her cries also alarmed Tang San, who was nearby.

He hurried over to her side, calling with concern, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, wake up."

"Er Ming, don't leave!"

Xiao Wu woke up with a start, exclaiming in shock.

But what she saw was Tang San's ordinary face.

"Xiao San, where's Er Ming?"

"I just had a dream. In the dream, Er Ming... died."

Xiao Wu said somewhat dazedly.

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San's expression immediately stiffened.

"Xiao San, this is just a dream, right?"

Xiao Wu said, beginning to look around, "Where's Er Ming? Is it hiding somewhere, being naughty again?"

"Enough!"

Tang San couldn't hold back any longer and yelled, "Xiao Wu! Er Ming is dead."

"That's the truth, not a dream!"

What? It's true?

Xiao Wu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. In her mind, she saw the image of Er Ming facing the Thunder Emperor, recalling its look of despair.

"Xiao Wu, accept the reality. It was Qin Xiao who killed Er Ming."

Tang San said, his fingers clenched, pointing towards the sky, making a vow: "I swear, as long as I live, I, Tang San, will kill Qin Xiao to avenge Er Ming!"

However, his words did not calm Xiao Wu. Instead, they seemed to add fuel to the fire.

"Enough!"

"Tang San, if it weren't for you, Er Ming wouldn't have died!"

Xiao Wu said through her tears.

At this moment, she was heartbroken and regretful.

Regretful for being persuaded by Tang San to let Er Ming confront Qin Xiao.

Regretful for still letting Er Ming fight Qin Xiao even after realizing Er Ming was no match.

Regretful for listening to Tang San so much.
He was just a Grand Soul Master. How could he understand the battle between Titled Douluos!

"Xiao Wu, I admit that Er Ming's death is somewhat related to me."

"No, it's largely your fault. This whole thing started because of you!" Xiao Wu completely disagreed with Tang San's statement.

"Xiao Wu, I..."

Tang San opened his mouth, already filled with anger.

Wasn't it you who asked Er Ming for help in the first place? And now that something has happened, you're putting all the blame on me?

This burden, he, Tang San, could not bear!
But Xiao Wu had already covered her ears, shaking her head, "Stop talking, I want to be alone. Leave!"

"Fine then, I'll leave!"

Tang San coldly dropped these words and walked into the jungle.

But soon, he returned, sitting down under an ancient tree about ten meters in front of Xiao Wu, looking very displeased.

Only after stepping out did he remember that this was the depths of Star Dou Great Forest. The surroundings were filled with terrifying ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

In other words.

Without Xiao Wu, he couldn't make it out of Star Dou Great Forest.

Dew on the grass, the morning sun rising.

Outside the Shrek Academy in the village.

Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, arrived beside Sword Douluo, looking together towards Shrek Academy in the distance.

"Sword Uncle, didn't sleep all night?"

Hearing this, Sword Douluo frowned, "Sect Master, do you think our previous speculation was wrong? Was the thunderstorm just a coincidence?"

"I stayed awake all night and didn't see any spectacular thunderstorm descend, did I?"

"Haha, Uncle Jian, you brought this upon yourself. You insisted on investigating here. I said we should just go directly to Shrek Academy and ask clearly."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a smile.

"Sect Master, don't make fun of me. I was just worried about startling the enemy."

Sword Douluo waved his hand helplessly, "If there really is a powerful soul beast lurking in Shrek Academy, it would be a great advantage for our sect."

However, while they were talking and laughing, a figure landed behind them.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were not surprised.

Because this person was a secret guard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Sect Master, Elder, the young lady has returned to the academy."

The secret guard kneeled on one knee and reported.

"What? Rongrong is back?"

Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Sword Douluo exclaimed in surprise.

He hadn't seen Ning Rongrong in a long time and missed her dearly.

Immediately, he said to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master, let's go to Shrek Academy now and find out what's going on."

Ning Fengzhi teased, "Uncle Jian, it seems you really want to see Rongrong."

The village was still some distance from Shrek.

But for Sword Douluo, this distance was nothing, and he quickly led Ning Fengzhi to the academy.

They arrived just in time to run into the Shrek group entering the academy.

Sword Douluo immediately spotted Ning Rongrong.

He was about to call out with a smile, but the next moment, he stopped abruptly.

Even the smile on his face quickly faded, and his brows furrowed.

All because of a young boy.
