Chapter 14 What I hate most is soul tools.
Wang Dong watched as Tang Wulin handed the fruit to Huo Yuhao, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Damn it! That bastard! He gave away the Life Fruit that I bought with my money yesterday!"
This was bought for him! Couldn't he at least give me one in return? He really doesn't value me at all!
No, I have to find a chance to teach this guy a lesson later!
Xiao Xiao walked beside Wang Dong, and seeing Wang Dong's gritted teeth, she took the opportunity, under the pretext of being afraid of him, to move right next to Tang Wulin.
Seeing Tang Wulin's smiling face, he patted him on the shoulder somewhat awkwardly.
Tang Wulin turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao coughed twice and said, "You knew my name before, do you know me?"
Tang Wulin was taken aback. Of course he knew Xiao Xiao. Who in the Soul Master circle didn't know the name of the second generation Shrek Seven Devils?
However, in later generations, almost no one knows what the second-generation Shrek Seven Devils actually looked like when they were young.
But Tang Wulin happened to know this, and his and Xiaoxiao's memories were indeed not pleasant.
When he entered the Tang Sect for testing, Wu Changkong, with an indifferent expression, asked them to enter the Tang Sect Hero Hall and randomly fight against a member of the original Shrek Seven Devils, a version of the same age group.
At that time, Tang Wulin was facing Xiao Ding, the Douluo of later generations.
In that test, only Gu Yue maintained her dignity when facing Huo Yuhao, while Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, whose cultivation paths were accumulating and finally bursting forth, were directly beaten to a pulp by Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao.
Therefore, this memory remains vivid in Tang Wulin's mind to this day. From this perspective, Xiao Xiao can definitely be considered Tang Wulin's childhood trauma.
However, looking at the shy and hesitant little girl in front of him, with her big, blinking eyes, Tang Wulin, whose mind was filled with the contrast between the two words "contrast," naturally couldn't tell her the truth.
So he made an excuse, saying, "I guess it's because I saw you sign up, and when I saw your face, I subconsciously thought of that name."
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted:
"You remember him from just one meeting? Did you leave a very deep impression on him?"
"This feels like a chance! Xiaoxiao! You have to muster your courage! This golden opportunity is right in front of you! You can't let it slip away!"
What she didn't notice was that when Xiaoxiao ran to Tang Wulin's side, alarm bells went off in Wang Dong's heart. After seeing the two of them start chatting, a strange protective instinct rose in his heart!
As a girl myself, how could Wang Dong not know what Xiaoxiao was thinking?
Wang Dong felt a pang of jealousy, like his own pig being eaten by a cabbage!
She began to observe Xiao Xiao's qualifications from all angles, comparing her to Tang Wulin. Finally, based on various subjective assumptions, she easily concluded that they were completely mismatched, unsuitable, and utterly unworthy!
Thinking of this, Wang Dong put his arm around Tang Wulin's shoulder and quickly changed the subject:
"What are you talking about? You two seem to know each other very well. Wu Lin, are you even familiar with how the academy assigns homework?"
Despite Xiaoxiao's disapproving look—"Why are you, a guy, getting involved in this mess?"—Wang Dong successfully achieved his goal.
Shortly after, a sharp voice rang out in the brightly lit office:
"For the next month, you will be cleaning up the experimental sites in the Soul Guidance Zone!"
"Remember to clean thoroughly! No soul power allowed! And no using any of the soul tools there! Do you understand?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong immediately became agitated and protested loudly:
"That won't do! I won't go to a place like that!"
Zhou Yi glared at him angrily and said, "Are you going or not?! If you're not going, then go and shovel manure for me!"
Wang Dong turned and left, saying, "I'm going to scoop up the manure!"
"return!"
Zhou Yi said angrily, "The quota for shoveling manure is full! You have to go today whether you like it or not! Don't think that just because you have a powerful family, you can do whatever you want!"
This is Shrek Academy! I, Zhou Yi, don't give a damn about anyone's opinion! Do you hear me?!
Wang Dong breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she said she would scoop out manure, she regretted it.
"Thanks to the unknown dung-loving classmates," Wang Dong thought to himself, breaking out in a cold sweat.
With this request in mind, Tang Wulin, Wang Dongxiao, and the other two headed towards the Soul Guidance Zone, following the designated route.
At this moment, Zhou Yi turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was standing there with his head down, even more uneasy than the shy Xiao Xiao, and shouted sternly:
"What are you standing there for? Get out of here!"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback, and then a feeling of relief welled up in his heart.
"So, you're not even allowed to notify me anymore?"
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao turned around and walked out of the stairwell.
"Wait a moment!"
Just then, a roar startled Huo Yuhao. He turned around and saw Zhou Yi shouting angrily not far away:
"Have you lost your mind while running? Keep up with them!"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback and looked in another direction. There, in the sunlight, Tang Wulin and the other two were turning around in confusion, quietly looking at him.
After a moment of stunned silence, an expression of ecstasy replaced everything!
Huo Yuhao sprinted forward, quickly catching up with Tang Wulin and the other two, and headed towards the Soul Guidance Zone.
Not long after, in the Soul Guidance Zone, He Caitou stood in front of Fan Yu and introduced the structure of their Soul Guidance Devices to Tang Wulin and the others.
The Soul Guidance Department has always been at a disadvantage in its struggle against the Martial Soul Department. This time, seeing that there were actually students from the Martial Soul Department, He Caitou put in a lot of effort, enthusiastically introducing their research and development to them. His love for soul tools was evident in his words.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong still had a sullen expression, as if he hadn't listened at all.
Looking at the young and handsome Fan Yu, Wang Dong suddenly asked, "Teacher, are you familiar with Teacher Zhou Yi?"
Fan Yu was taken aback, then blushed and asked nervously:
"Why are you suddenly asking this? Is there something you need to discuss with Professor Zhou Yi?"
Wang Dong looked like he understood perfectly, shook his head, and said nothing more.
Immediately after Fan Yu left, she leaned close to Tang Wulin and whispered in his ear:
"Now I understand! That old hag sent us here with her own agenda!"
That teacher is obviously being kept by that old hag!
Tang Wulin asked doubtfully, "Isn't that possible? Why do you always think the worst?"
Wang Dong crossed his arms and said angrily:
"I'm just so angry! How could they send me to a place like this! The thing I hate most in this life is soul tools!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin scratched his head. Perhaps most people on the original continent in this era didn't really like soul tools?
He was not surprised by this, nor did he have any objection to Wang Dong's words simply because he liked soul tools.
However, his preference for soul tools did not affect his judgment. From the perspective of a person from the future, the soul tools here were extremely inferior.
Although it contains some ingenious ideas unique to this era that make people feel novel, it's like people marveling at the wisdom of their ancestors when they see some strange buildings built by primitive people.
It's not that he's lamenting their inability; the reason is simply because they are primitive people, and that's exactly how Tang Wulin feels right now.
Not only was the structure primitive, but these rough metals, which had not been forged or hammered but were used as materials for soul guides, were also inferior to ordinary alloys mass-produced on industrial machine tools in later generations.
Stepping forward, Tang Wulin quietly watched He Caitou demonstrate the soul-guided equipment to them, and he suddenly noticed something.
That means that the so-called weapons we have now are basically just disassembled weapons that are equipped on mechs in the future and then attached to the body one by one.
This doesn't mean these things are bad; it's just that after the emergence of battle armor in later generations, it created a repulsion between these things. Therefore, mid- to high-level Soul Masters chose battle armor that was more suitable for their Soul Master development path, thus abandoning these accessories.
Watching He Caitou relish the combat results displayed by his soul tool, and seeing Huo Yuhao's starry-eyed expression, Tang Wulin shook his head, picked up a mop, and started mopping the floor.
