Chapter 37 The Aura of the Nine-Hearted Begonia? The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall!
Just as Dugu Yan's hand was about to touch the wine pot, Tang Chuan snatched the osmanthus wine into his hand first, then turned around and took a half step back.
The movements were clean and efficient, as if they had been prepared in advance.
"You refused to sell, so you just resorted to robbery? Is this how your teachers taught you?"
After standing still, Tang Chuan looked up at Dugu Yan with a calm and composed expression, and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback.
She clearly hadn't expected that this boy, who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, would be so fast, and that his movements carried a hidden, unleashed power.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on her lips, and slowly said:
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be a Soul Master too."
"I'm taking it today, so what?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of provocation.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the tavern suddenly froze.
A loud cracking sound rang out.
At the table in the distance.
Qin Ming suddenly stood up and slammed his hand heavily on the table. The wooden table shook, the cups and saucers trembled, and the surrounding diners turned their heads to look.
"Yanzi, what are you doing?"
Qin Ming's tone was clearly filled with anger, and his eyes revealed a powerful aura. The usually gentle and composed man instantly became extremely dignified.
"What did you promise me before we came out? You said you wouldn't cause trouble. If you continue to be so willful and reckless, then don't come out with us next time!"
His reprimand was merciless, his tone was heavy, and he didn't spare any face whatsoever.
"Teacher Qin, it's me..."
Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue, not daring to say anything more. She grunted and glared at Tang Chuan before turning back to her original position.
Although the members of the Royal Fighting Team are all unruly individuals, they all respect Qin Ming the most. It is said that he is the second youngest Soul Emperor in the history of the Spirit Hall.
Just then, Qin Ming calmly stepped forward, stopped in front of Tang Chuan, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said indifferently:
"Young man, my student was quite offensive just now. It was my fault for not disciplining him properly. Please don't take it to heart."
His tone was sincere, and his attitude was humble. He had no airs of a high-level Soul Master. Instead, he seemed like an elder apologizing for his student's rudeness.
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan raised an eyebrow, feeling slightly surprised.
You should know that in the Douluo Continent...
It would be almost impossible for a powerful figure like Qin Ming, who is at least a Soul Emperor, to apologize to a young boy.
But upon closer reflection, Tang Chuan secretly nodded in agreement:
"As expected, just like in the original story, Qin Ming is one of the few normal people among the graduates of Shrek Academy."
"Unfortunately, in order to highlight the righteousness of Tang San's sneak attack on and killing of Ghost Douluo to seize his soul bone, the anime actually killed him off."
The next second, Tang Chuan stepped forward, smiled slightly, and returned the greeting with a cupped hand:
"You're too kind, senior. It's nothing, I won't take it to heart."
As he spoke, he gently handed over the osmanthus wine in his hand: "Since you like this wine, why don't I give it to you, senior? It's a way for me to make a friend."
Qin Ming glanced at the osmanthus wine Tang Chuan handed him, smiled faintly, and waved his hand, saying:
"Young man, I appreciate your kindness. However, you arrived early, and the wine is already yours. If I were to drink it, it would be against etiquette."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and waved to the waiter not far away, saying, "Move all the food and drinks we ordered upstairs to our room. We'll eat there."
Qin Ming's purpose in doing this was clearly to prevent Dugu Yan from causing trouble again.
He was completely different from the Shrek Academy's "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre" attitude, making him seem somewhat unlike someone who graduated from Shrek Academy.
"Okay, all done!"
The waiter immediately responded and called on the other staff to help move the dishes.
"Young man, I apologize for what happened today. I hope we meet again someday." Qin Ming glanced at Tang Chuan again, a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and said politely.
Tang Chuan nodded slightly and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Qin Ming.
Afterwards, Qin Ming led several of his students up to the second floor of the tavern.
As the Royal Fighting Team members went upstairs, they glanced back at Tang Chuan, who was sitting in the corner.
Perhaps out of consideration for Qin Ming's attitude earlier, they only glanced at him briefly and didn't say anything more.
Just as the Royal Fighting Team was about to turn into the stairwell, the girl at the back, wearing a blue-purple dress and with her face covered by a light veil, suddenly paused.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced back at Tang Chuan downstairs, whispering, "Why do I sense the aura of the Nine-Heart Begonia on him?"
"Could it be... that his martial spirit is also... impossible?"
"It's impossible for any Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters to exist on the mainland anymore."
She seemed to want to ask something, but ultimately didn't speak.
…………
After the group went upstairs...
The sounds of waiters carrying dishes and drinks came from upstairs, but soon returned to silence.
A moment later, a steady yet stern voice suddenly came from the room. Qin Ming lowered his voice and said to Dugu Yan:
"Yanzi, after leaving Tiandou City, for everyone's safety, you'd better not cause any more trouble. Remember, this isn't the academy outside, and your grandfather won't be there to back you up."
"Teacher Qin, what are you afraid of? My grandfather is a Title Douluo. Who on the continent dares to touch me?" Dugu Yan pouted and said in a low voice, somewhat dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's expression finally turned serious, and his voice lowered as he said earnestly, "It's true that your grandfather is a Title Douluo, but there are many people on the Douluo Continent who are stronger than him. Besides, he's not with you right now."
"The relationship between the Spirit Hall and the two great empires has not been harmonious in recent years. If one provokes the Spirit Hall, trouble is inevitable..."
As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
The students of the Royal Fighting Team were all slightly taken aback. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with solemnity.
Even the usually aloof Yu Tianheng showed a slight change in his relaxed demeanor, his brows furrowing as he spoke in a deep voice:
"The Spirit Hall... has indeed been making frequent moves in the past two years, so we really need to be careful."
Although Dugu Yan was stubborn, she didn't dare to argue anymore. In her opinion, her grandfather was indeed no match for the Spirit Hall.
Clearly, the name "Spirit Hall" carries immense intimidation for them.
Qin Ming softened his tone and continued, "Our mission this time is to obtain Lingling's third spirit ring. We'll avoid conflict if possible."
He paused here, glancing at the crowd, his tone becoming more serious:
"Once we return to Heaven Dou City, I will begin the next phase of your special training."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement without any objection.
Just as Qin Ming and the others dispersed to rest, the tavern door was pushed open again.
A series of footsteps echoed, drawing everyone's attention.
A group of imposing figures slowly entered.
The leader was a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a head of dazzling golden hair that cascaded over her shoulders. She was dressed in a golden outfit, with delicate features and a beautiful face.
Two people followed closely behind her.
One of them wore a long robe of purple and black, had short silver hair, a handsome face, and a faint smile that always lingered on his lips. He seemed gentle and refined, but his whole being sent chills down one's spine.
On his other side.
He was a tall, robust young man with fiery red short hair that danced like flames, strong features, bright eyes, and an aura of intense heat emanating from him.
Following the three were four teenagers and several elderly men dressed in gray robes.
Each of these elders exuded a calm and unfathomable aura. Although they did not release any soul power, they still gave people a sense of pressure.
Their arrival caused the once bustling tavern to fall silent for a moment, with many diners lowering their heads to avoid them, creating a tense atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Qin Ming, who was upstairs, also faintly heard the noise. He slowly stood up, glanced down, and immediately frowned slightly.
At the same time, Tang Chuan also noticed this group of uninvited guests who had suddenly arrived.
His gaze narrowed slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and then his eyes flashed as memories of his past life flooded back, quickly bringing several familiar faces to mind.
"People from the Spirit Hall team?"
"There are still three or four years until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. They should be here in the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain their fourth soul ring, right?"
"However, it shouldn't be Hu Liena and the others who obtained the fourth spirit ring, but rather the team members behind her. I remember that in the original Spirit Hall team, there was a healing-type spirit master whose spirit was a golden scepter, and his spirit skill could shorten the completion time of spirit fusion skills."
Tang Chuan first glanced at Hu Liena and the others, then fixed his gaze on the few taciturn, imposing elderly men behind them, and said with a slightly solemn expression:
"These people should at least be Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level, right?"
As Tang Chuan was pondering, he saw Yan step forward, walk straight to the counter, and wave to summon the tavern owner.
"Just bring us some food and drinks, and be quick."
Yan's voice was rough and crisp, carrying an air of undeniable authority.
"Alright...alright, please wait a moment, distinguished guests..." Upon hearing this, the tavern owner hurriedly bowed and agreed, his expression respectful, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Tang Chuan silently watched everything before him, his face showing no unusual expression. He simply lowered his head and continued drinking the osmanthus wine in front of him.
After finishing his meal, Tang Chuan did not linger and went up to the second floor of the tavern alone.
His room was simply furnished, but clean and tidy.
After closing the door, Tang Chuan did not continue his cultivation. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing, slowly sorting out his soul power to make final preparations for entering the Star Dou Great Forest the next day.
I'm asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
