"Next, let's have Captain Xiao Lin say a few words to us."
As Qin Ming spoke, he began to applaud.
Clap, clap, clap!
"Ah, well, I'll just say a few brief words then."
Xiao Lin stepped out from the trio of Tang San and Xiao Wu, his gaze sweeping across every member of the Emperor Team.
"This is my first day as Captain, so I don't really know what to say. However, everyone should just continue with your usual training; don't mind the three of us. Otherwise... you might end up crying."
As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, a playful, teasing smile spread across his face.
He didn't say this because he looked down on the Emperor Team, but simply because he felt they wouldn't be able to keep up with their specific training regimen.
Although Xiao Lin and Tang San were busy researching self-condensing soul rings and Soul Tools, that didn't mean their physical training would slacken. Normally, the battles between Xiao Lin and Tang San were all-out affairs.
Tang San would use endless waves of Blue Silver Grass to attack while simultaneously releasing Soul Tool hidden weapons from the shadows, making it nearly impossible for Xiao Lin to defend against everything.
Sometimes, Xiao Wu would join in the assault as well. Facing the combined pressure of Tang San and Xiao Wu, if Xiao Lin didn't use his extremely high-attack first soul skill, even he would be caught off guard by their schemes.
A moment's carelessness would lead to him being bound hand and foot by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, leaving him utterly defenseless. While at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, neither Xiao Lin nor Tang San intended to use their ultimate trump cards—
Such as Xiao Lin's External Soul Bone, the Vajra Giant Ox Horns, or Tang San's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method with the Clear Sky Hammer, or his hidden weapons.
But even so, Xiao Lin didn't think the other team members were ready to join the fray between him, Tang San, and Xiao Wu. Even considering Xiao Wu, who had the "lowest" combat power of the three—once she went into a frenzy, even Yu Tianheng might be instant-killed.
He wanted to save his powerful fourth soul skill as a trump card? Xiao Wu wouldn't give him that chance. Who could block a Flying Thunder God: Raikiri?
Of course, Xiao Lin's words were just a heads-up to the Emperor Team members that they wouldn't be participating in Teacher Qin Ming's routine training—unless there was a specific need to practice team matches, coordination, or building chemistry.
Initially, upon hearing Xiao Lin's words, Qin Ming wanted to object. However, he realized he currently had no idea how Xiao Lin's group should best be trained. Thus, he simply frowned and allowed them to handle their own training for the time being.
Several members of the Emperor Team felt a surge of dissatisfaction. While they acknowledged the trio's combat prowess, Teacher Qin Ming's training was designed to increase a Soul Master's physical strength specifically so they could absorb soul rings beyond their limits.
In their eyes, by skipping this training, Xiao Lin and his friends had become arrogant and overconfident. A sense of disdain grew in their hearts, as if they were thinking: As long as you guys neglect your exercises, we will slowly overtake you.
Xiao Lin had no idea what they were thinking and couldn't be bothered to care.
He simply said "See you tomorrow" and prepared to head out to explore Heaven Dou City.
Tang San and Xiao Wu followed close behind.
Among the three, everyone had their own objective.
Xiao Lin wanted to buy the best quality Whale Glue available; Tang San needed to purchase rare metal ores and materials for hidden weapons and Soul Tools; and Xiao Wu simply wanted to see what kind of delicacies Heaven Dou City had to offer.
Soon, the three arrived at the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy and split up. Xiao Lin went alone to buy the Whale Glue, while Tang San and Xiao Wu went shopping together.
Entering Heaven Dou City once more, Xiao Lin was quickly shocked by its sheer scale. It was so vast he felt like he might get lost. Fortunately, as a noble Soul Master, he only needed to ask a random passerby for directions to reach his destination.
However, when Xiao Lin asked for the largest entertainment venue, the biggest auction house, and the best place to buy "aphrodisiac-like enhancement items" (referring to the misunderstood nature of Whale Glue), the passersby all wore knowing, playful smiles.
Although Xiao Lin was quite tall now, compared to a true adult, his face was still far too tender.
But then again... in this world, there were far too many people who married and had children by thirteen or fourteen. Xiao Lin looked to be around that age. Eventually, a helpful and friendly passerby personally led him to his first destination.
One of the largest venues for purchasing "amorous lifestyle" items in Heaven Dou City:
The Heart of Passion Pavilion.
Looking at the towering yet distinctly gaudy architecture of the Heart of Passion Pavilion, Xiao Lin stood dazed for a moment.
The pavilion was primarily constructed from massive redwood; even from a distance, one could see flashes of red and purple light emanating from within—radiance so bright it even cast a glow onto neighboring buildings.
If it were nighttime, this architecture would undoubtedly draw crowds like moths to a flame. As he stepped inside, four well-proportioned young women standing at the entrance bowed to Xiao Lin and greeted him in unison.
Under the pavilion's lighting, their faces appeared flushed, and combined with their beautiful smiles, shapely curves, and slightly revealing miniskirts, it was a sight that could easily stir excitement in anyone.
A true lecher would likely have reached out to grope them immediately.
"Sir, what can we help you purchase today?"
One of the girls noticed Xiao Lin's confused expression and stepped forward, bowing slightly to receive him. During this, she inadvertently revealed a glimpse of "holy light" from her cleavage before giving a flirtatious smile and leading Xiao Lin to the second floor.
Sensing that Xiao Lin had likely never visited such a place, the girl was quite bold. She occasionally squeezed against him on purpose, leaving Xiao Lin constantly on guard, nearly blurting out, "What are you doing?"
"Sir, this is the second floor of the Heart of Passion Pavilion. The items here should be more than enough for you to choose from."
The girl smiled elegantly and blew a kiss before departing, leaving Xiao Lin feeling utterly bewildered.
They must be slaves specifically bought by the pavilion. Their movements are too practiced and efficient—clearly the result of long-term training, Xiao Lin thought to himself.
It wasn't that Xiao Lin enjoyed viewing people in such a light, but this world truly had slaves—including those with cat ears or rabbit ears. He didn't believe a place this famous in Heaven Dou City didn't have powerful backers involved in the slave trade.
Evil feudal society...
Xiao Lin shook his head, instantly dispelling those unpleasant images.
He walked straight toward the manager of the second floor; he only wanted one thing and had no interest in playing around.
"Hey, you there. Do you have any Whale Glue? The older the better. Give me three pieces if you have them—money is no object."
Xiao Lin decided to "do as the Romans do," putting on the persona of a hedonistic young master from a noble family, portraying the "rich guy" image to perfection.
"Hello, my name is Qin Ya. We do have Whale Glue. We have two pieces from over ten thousand years and one from over five thousand years. Would you like to see them?"
The second-floor manager, Qin Ya, had a curvaceous figure that formed a sharp contrast with the girls from before; she exuded the aura of a charming, mature woman.
Just by leaning in and speaking with that seductive voice, she managed to stir some ripples in the "pure and noble" Xiao Lin.
Succubus!
Xiao Lin hadn't expected a person without any soul power to be capable of such methods.
What would he do if he encountered a real master of charm? Secretly circulating his Vajra Imperishable Divine Skill to ignore her allure, Xiao Lin let out a cold snort.
"Bring them all out. I'll take the lot."
A flash of disdain crossed Xiao Lin's face.
He still felt the age of the Whale Glue at the Heart of Passion Pavilion was too low. Ten thousand years ago (in the original timeline), no one knew the true function of Whale Glue—was ten-thousand-year glue really this scarce?
