Douluo: Infinite Lottery System

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: I eat well



Suddenly, Dai Mubai felt a chilling sensation. When he turned around, he found a beautiful face smiling at him.

Xiao Tianyang placed his palm gently on Dai Mubai's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Were you looking for me?" Dai Mubai's body stiffened, his fists clenching tightly.

"Don't be nervous. Yesterday was just a friendly fight." Xiao Tianyang patted him, trying to ease the tension between them.

"It's you?" The girl who had been following Dai Mubai yesterday suddenly spoke.

"Hello again, is this the third time we've met?" Xiao Tianyang smiled, greeting her warmly.

"My name is Ning Rongrong, and you are?"

"Xiao Tianyang." Xiao Tianyang extended his hand, lightly clasping Ning Rongrong's palm. He let go within three seconds. Although he was fond of beautiful women, he was romantic, not crude. His upbringing had instilled certain values in him.

Ning Rongrong was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xiao Tianyang with an even more favorable expression.

"Hey, uh, Shrek Academy only accepts children under twelve. Aren't you a bit old?" Dai Mubai coughed lightly beside them and spoke in a low voice. Since the question had been asked, he wasn't nervous anymore. Besides, this wasn't bad news. Being watched by a monster wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Tang San quickly explained, "Brother Tianyang just grows faster, he's only twelve."

The old man, though, was still a bit suspicious. He eyed Xiao Tianyang up and down. "Isn't this growing a bit too fast?"

He shook his head and then said, "Stretch out your hand."

Seeing is believing, the old man decided to test it for himself.

Appearances could deceive, but the truth couldn't be hidden. Xiao Tianyang stretched out his hand, and the old man took it, squeezing it. His expression changed slightly.

"He's only twelve years old!" The old man confirmed first, then looked astonished. "But what on earth did you eat to grow this fast?"

What is a steel frame? Xiao Tianyang was an example! If the old man hadn't reached the Soul Emperor level, he might not have been able to squeeze his bones with that much force.

"I ate well since I was young, that's why I developed quickly." Xiao Tianyang smiled.

"Your age is fine, show me your martial soul."

Xiao Tianyang nodded, raising his hand. Flames swirled in his palm.

"Three-colored flames? What kind of martial soul is this?" The old man was confused.

"My martial soul mutated," Xiao Tianyang explained.

"Not bad." The old man nodded. "Now, stop hiding and show your soul ring."

Xiao Tianyang complied, revealing his soul ring without hesitation.

The old man, who had just taken a sip of water, spat it out in shock. "What is this? A purple and black soul ring? What's going on here? Aren't the ages of these two soul rings too high?"

Not only the old man but also Tang San and Xiao Wu, standing behind Xiao Tianyang, as well as Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, who were further away, all had expressions of disbelief.

The old man was the first to recover and asked, "Wait, you only have two soul rings… then how high is your level?"

"Level 27," Xiao Tianyang answered casually.

"Level 27…" Dai Mubai felt his mind racing, "That's enough for a thousand-year soul ring, but how did you get a ten-thousand-year one?"

Xiao Tianyang's appearance had shattered the laws of the Douluo Continent! How powerful did one need to be to absorb such a spirit ring? It was no longer a limit—it was beyond any extreme!

"No wonder Brother Tianyang never used soul rings when he fought with us," Xiao Wu murmured with a sigh of relief for some reason.

"Teacher, is this okay?" Xiao Tianyang asked the old man, his smile never fading.

"What a monster!" The old man shook his head with a bitter smile and waved his hand. "You're so outstanding, if you can't then no one else could pass this test."

Dai Mubai instinctively took two steps back, moving away from Xiao Tianyang. This was like a bomb—whoever got too close would be in trouble.

"Well, come in with me first. There are tests later, so don't stay out here." In truth, everyone was curious about the soul rings. After all, not only had they never seen such a configuration, but they didn't even dare to imagine it. 

However, the current environment wasn't suitable for asking too many questions. Even Xiao Wu, brimming with curiosity, kept quiet, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Is this your dog?" The old man suddenly asked, pointing at Bubu.

Xiao Tianyang turned around, asking, "Aren't pets allowed in school?"

The old man reminded him, "It's fine, but make sure you keep it tight so it doesn't bite anyone."

Bubu nearly fell into the field. "Don't worry, it doesn't bite." Xiao Tianyang looked down at Bubu and smiled: "You don't bite, right?" His captivating smile appeared again, causing Bubu to shiver. It backed away and nodded eagerly, like garlic being crushed.

Five people and one dog entered the village together. After a short while, Ning Rongrong took the initiative to lean next to Xiao Tianyang and whispered, "Tianyang, why is Dai Mubai so afraid of you?"

Xiao Tianyang smiled and replied, "We had a misunderstanding yesterday, and we… resolved it."

"He lost?" Ning Rongrong was a bit surprised. Could a Spirit Elder lose to a Spirit Grandmaster?

"It was just a small victory." Xiao Tianyang was more modest. After all, as the saying goes, 'Expose others but don't expose your shortcomings.'

Dai Mubai secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and at the same time, his opinion of Xiao Tianyang soared. While this matter would eventually come to light, Xiao Tianyang's outward display of humility spoke volumes about his character.

Suddenly, everyone stopped.

"Sausages for sale, sausages! Come get your long, delicious sausages, only five copper coins each, and taste the delicacies of the world!"

The voice was from a man in a brown-gray gown with a full beard, pushing a stall over.

"Why does this scene seem so familiar?" Xiao Tianyang raised an eyebrow. He suddenly remembered the vendors outside his school gate when he was in elementary and middle school. But he was more focused on the smell.

Taking a slight sniff, Xiao Tianyang smiled and said, "This smells delicious."

Dai Mubai hurriedly stepped forward. "Don't!" Then he turned to the sausage seller, his expression a mix of frustration and helplessness. "Xiao Ao, how many times have I told you? Don't sell sausages on campus! How many more times do I have to say it?!"

Tang San frowned and asked, "Is this uncle a teacher?"

"No, he's a student just like us." Dai Mubai turned to explain to Tang San, "He's only two years older than you."

Xiao Wu seemed a bit surprised. "Two years? That's quite a gap, isn't it?"

"It's not that he grew up too quickly; it's just his martial soul." Dai Mubai continued, "He has a rare food-type martial soul. He was born with a thick mane and often looks a bit disheveled. That's why he has this appearance."

Tang San was still puzzled. "Then why can't we buy the sausages? Have they expired?"

"That's because…" Dai Mubai suddenly noticed Xiao Tianyang had already taken a bite of the sausage and quickly said, "Don't eat it!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. Xiao Tianyang took a hearty bite of the sausage with a satisfying crunch. It was crispy on the outside, soft and waxy on the inside—tasting like a German sausage with a hint of Chinese smoked flavor.

"Your sausage tastes great." Xiao Tianyang nodded to the sausage seller. "I'm this year's freshman, Xiao Tianyang."

"Oscar." The man grinned, introducing himself.
