Ah Yin: Why do you care about him? If he doesn't Break Through, then he doesn't Break Through, right?
Ah Yin still didn't understand.
[Yan Yan: If Tang San doesn't Break Through, then we have to leave. If we leave, he won't encounter the Man Faced Demon Spider. If he doesn't encounter the Man Faced Demon Spider, he won't get the external Spirit Bone.]
[Number Nine: If he doesn't encounter the external Spirit Bone, what will Leon snatch? Wouldn't we have come for nothing?]
The Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong was amused now.
"No?"
"This Little Bastard is too wicked."
"But I like him."
Bibi Dong was very pleased. So you, Little Bastard, were waiting for Tang San here?
Hu Liena asked with a puzzled expression:
"Teacher, is Leon just after this external Spirit Bone?"
Bibi Dong nodded, thought for a moment, then added: "It might be more than that!"
I am an Orphan: Are you worried that if Tang San doesn't encounter the external Spirit Bone now, he'll secretly encounter it next time when you're not around?
[Leon: Yes!]
[Ma Xiaotao: I think I understand. Although you changed it, you then replaced Meng Yiran and changed this plot back, and you even beat Tang San up in a reasonable way?]
[Bo Saixi: While your operation is roughly the same, it is still a change after all. Can Tang San really encounter the external Spirit Bone?]
[Little Bird: That's really hard to say. How precious is an external Spirit Bone? How can it appear so easily?]
[Bibi Dong: That's true, but don't forget, Tang San is the protagonist of our world!]
[Tang Yuehua: But I still feel like something isn't quite right, no? Weren't we talking about how Leon beating Tang San up led to Tang San breaking through to Level 30?]
[Shadow Cat: Why don't you understand yet? Tang San's Opportunity is right here. Today, no matter who he fights, he might Break Through to Level 30. He might even reach Level 30 by being chased by a Soul Beast.]
[Number Nine: Tang San's Break Through is because his Cultivation reached a Bottleneck, it's the result of his normal Cultivation. Leon beating him was just incidental. Do you understand now?]
[Liu Erlong: I'm really going to die laughing. Yuehua was eager to try just now and even asked if it was okay not to hit his face.]
[Tang Yuehua:...]
Douluo World 2.
Shrek Academy.
Ma Xiaotao was also stunned for a moment.
"What the heck?"
"Leon, that guy is so wicked?"
[Ma Xiaotao: Good, good, good. So you knew Tang San would Break Through and deliberately beat him up, huh? Does he have to thank you for helping him Break Through?]
[Bai Chenxiang: When Leon beat Tang San, he was as happy and excited as a child. How could he be so joyful?]
Seeing this, everyone was both amused and exasperated.
Is this what you, Leon, just called "all buddies"?
[Leon: All buddies, whether he thanks me or not doesn't matter a damn.]
[Everyone: Six hundred sixty-six.]
By the way.
One afternoon.
The group walked in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San still had eyes full of resentment, occasionally looking back at Leon. He really didn't want to believe that Leon was sincerely helping him Break Through.
Damn Little Bastard!
Yesterday I was still worried I'd become like Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, and today you beat me into this state?
So annoying.
This Little Bastard definitely did it on purpose.
Leon: Now you don't have to worry. Remember to share my secret method with Gangzi when you go back.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Wuji suddenly stopped, frowning and saying:
"Something's coming. Everyone be careful."
Hearing this, everyone activated their Martial Soul avatars and took up defensive positions.
Leon waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, Little Monkey is back."
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked at Leon with puzzled expressions, and the next second, they were completely dumbfounded.
From a distance, heavy "thump-thump-thump" sounds approached. A huge rhinoceros was seen galloping over.
"Damn it! You... Little Monkey led a ten-thousand-year Iron Armored Rhinoceros over!"
"Quick, hide!"
Zhao Wuji was completely numb. He quickly rushed behind everyone, activated his Martial Soul avatar, released his Spirit Ability, crossed his arms, and fully resisted the charging Iron Armored Rhinoceros.
Tang San and his group also entered combat mode one by one.
Whoosh~
The three to four-meter-tall rhinoceros charged over, then screeched to a halt directly in front of Zhao Wuji.
Everyone jumped in fright. Zhao Wuji, not having received the expected attack, looked up.
The Iron Armored Rhinoceros was right in front of him, stopping steadily. On its tall head sat a Little Monkey.
Leon said calmly:
"Don't be nervous, we're all buddies!"
"This is a kind Soul Beast that doesn't hurt people. It's a new subordinate Little Monkey just recruited to be our ride."
"What did you say?"
Zhao Wuji looked at Leon, his eyes almost popping out.
What?
A ten-thousand-year Soul Beast is your buddy?
You must have drunk fake alcohol!
Dai Mubai and the others' expressions were even more rigid. Just looking at the Iron Armored Rhinoceros's dark, thick hide, they felt that even if it stood still, they wouldn't be able to break its defense.
Dugu Yan and the others also looked at Leon with confused expressions. They knew Little Monkey had run off to play earlier, but they didn't know what Little Monkey had gone to do.
It actually brought back a ten-thousand-year-old rhinoceros?
Leon, with a calm expression, spoke softly:
"Squat down."
Little Monkey sat on the rhinoceros's head and gently patted it. The Iron Armored Rhinoceros quickly lay down.
Leon looked at Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Ah Yin, saying: "Rongrong, you guys go up and rest. Who knows how long we'll be searching."
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling looked at Leon in a daze, then at the Iron Armored Rhinoceros's docile appearance and clear eyes. It really seemed like a mount!
Ah Yin was also full of confusion. This rhinoceros seemed off. She remembered this rhinoceros being very temperamental, relying on its great strength and high defense, right?
The three of them jumped directly onto the Iron Armored Rhinoceros's back.
Leon then looked at Zhu Zhuqing and the others, saying: "If you're tired, you can all go up and rest too. Let's keep going!"
"Uh..."
Zhao Wuji opened his mouth. What was he going to say just now?
Anyway, he had forgotten it all now.
This Iron Armored Rhinoceros was a pure block of muscle, immensely powerful, fiery-tempered, and incredibly defensive.
But!
Now, this Iron Armored Rhinoceros had eyes as clear as a college student's. How did this feel so wrong?
Tang San's brows were tightly furrowed, and he felt so uncomfortable inside!
Damn it.
Leon, that Little Bastard's Martial Soul, Little Monkey, it couldn't possibly also have the ability to communicate with Soul Beasts, could it?
I'm so angry!
Leon, you Little Bastard, how can you be so outstanding? You're committing a path to self-destruction again, do you understand?
Leon looked at the dumbfounded Zhao Wuji and the others, and said: "Let's continue helping Tang San find a Spirit Ring. Big Ox will lighten its steps and conceal its aura by itself, it won't affect our search for a Spirit Ring."
"Hmm."
Zhao Wuji nodded, and the group continued to walk in the Star Dou Great Forest. Just as Leon said, even though it was a very large Iron Armored Rhinoceros, its movements were truly quiet.
"You... can you tell me how you did it?"
Zhao Wuji finally couldn't hold back and asked his question.
