章 54: Chapter 54: Hope And Betrayel
Early Morning
Su Bai awoke.
"Ah..."
Looking at the few stunningly beautiful wives lying beside him, all without a shred of clothing, their skin gleaming pale white, Su Bai felt a surge of heat.
However, recalling the past few days of madness, he knew the ladies had been quite worn out by his antics.
Seeing them still deep in sleep, Su Bai decided to be considerate of their fatigue and got dressed.
"There's plenty of time in the future. I'll wait until they recover before continuing!" he thought.
Outside the Cave
Su Bai was sipping tea at a stone table.
Reflecting, he realized it had been nearly twenty years since he arrived on the Douluo Continent. From being a mere century-old soul beast, he had reached his current height. Time flew by so fast!
He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Without the system's assistance, he might still be a century-old soul beast, hiding everywhere just to survive.
This underscored the importance of strength. Only with strength could one possess everything.
As someone who had lived two lives, Su Bai deeply understood this principle. A thought began to take shape in his mind: establishing his own force.
No matter how strong a person is, there are limits. As time passes, his wives and children will increase, which could become a vulnerability. Therefore, forming a force was essential.
Regarding recruitment, he didn't need to look far. Su Bai could directly recruit powerful soul beasts. As the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, his request would not be refused by those beasts. They wouldn't dare.
In the soul beast world, strength is supreme. For instance, the Golden Feather Eagle dared not resist Su Bai.
"Then, let's form a force based on soul beasts!"
With this thought, Su Bai decided to first seek out Da Ming and Er Ming. Their involvement was crucial.
Da Ming and Er Ming were fortunate to be Su Bai's and Xiao Wu's followers. Su Bai often provided them with resources, and as a result, their cultivation had reached around 100,000 years. In a few years, they could break through to higher levels.
This speed was impressive, which is a clear benefit of having a powerful backer. Su Bai often distributed his excess system rewards to those around him, significantly benefiting Da Ming and Er Ming.
"Su Bai..."
Suddenly, a panting call was heard. Su Bai instinctively turned his head and saw a disheveled figure. Upon closer inspection, he recognized Yu Xiaogang.
His sorry state was due to his weak strength. Reaching the core of the Star Dou Great Forest had taken immense effort. His arrival proved he had some capability.
"I finally found you."
Seeing Su Bai, Yu Xiaogang sighed in relief. Before finding Su Bai, he was constantly on edge, fearing a powerful soul beast might suddenly appear and end him. But the allure of evolving his martial soul was too great, so he took the risk alone.
Actually, Su Bai had sensed Yu Xiaogang's approach but dismissed him due to his weak power, thinking he was just a weak soul beast.
But to his surprise, it was Yu Xiaogang. Su Bai asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Could it be that he still hadn't given up on Liu Erlong and came to cause trouble? Although Su Bai wasn't afraid, constant harassment would be annoying.
Upon sensing further, Su Bai realized he had misunderstood. Yu Xiaogang had come alone. Su Bai was puzzled. Why would such a weak individual venture into the Star Dou Great Forest alone? There must be a compelling reason.
After a moment's thought, Su Bai figured out Yu Xiaogang's intention.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, approached Su Bai, and bowed. "Su Bai, please help me evolve my martial soul. As long as you help me, I'll do anything you ask."
His attitude was humble. Su Bai was his key to rising. If Su Bai could help evolve his martial soul, his Luo San Pao might become a true golden dragon, enhancing his talents. Becoming a Title Douluo wouldn't be far-fetched then. He could return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and gain recognition from those who once looked down on him.
Yet ideals are often harshly met by reality.
Su Bai coldly asked, "Why should I help you? What's in it for me? With your level 29 soul power, any thousand-year soul beast can defeat you. What can you offer?"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale. Su Bai's points were valid. Yu Xiaogang offered no value. In terms of strength, he was a level 29 weakling with a useless martial soul, weaker than a century-old soul beast. As for theories, Su Bai had no need for them. The Douluo world prized strength over theory, and most of Yu Xiaogang's theories were 'borrowed' from others. Thus, he held no value to Su Bai.
Undeterred, Yu Xiaogang pleaded, "Su Bai, I beg you. I'll do anything if you help me."
Su Bai retorted, "What use are you? You're not even a beauty."
If not for his reluctance to move, Su Bai would have slapped Yu Xiaogang for his persistent whining. Su Bai wasn't running a charity. Helping a beauty, maybe, but Yu Xiaogang? No way.
Thud!
Seeing Su Bai unmoved, Yu Xiaogang knelt, begging, "Please, you're my only hope to change my fate. Help me, I beg you."
Su Bai sneered, "Your fate? What does that have to do with me?"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen. Su Bai was his last hope. If his martial soul evolved, his life would change. He wouldn't need to study useless theories or wait for Tang San to prove them. Besides, Tang San was already a lost cause, having absorbed only a ten-year soul ring as his third ring, which limited his future potential.
Sorry, Tang San.
Resolving himself, Yu Xiaogang said, "Su Bai, I know you dislike Tang San. As his teacher, I can humiliate and teach him a lesson to your satisfaction. In exchange, will you help me evolve my martial soul?"
Oh?
Su Bai's interest was piqued.
"Interesting. So you're willing to betray your disciple for your gain? That's quite a proposition," Su Bai mused, a smirk playing on his lips. He leaned back, contemplating the offer. "Very well. Let's see if you can truly satisfy my expectations. If you manage to amuse me, I might consider helping you with your martial soul evolution."
