Chapter 67: Li Si's Soul Incantation

Douluo (Novel) World

"Oh, heavens! Gods! Can you switch me with that wretched Lin Fan or not?!"

Li Si lay on a patch of grass made from Blue Silver Grass, staring up at the sky with a look of grief and indignation, his heart screaming nonstop.

After transmigrating into the 6-year-old Tang San, he had found himself unable to do anything other than cultivate.

Unlike the original Tang San, he hadn't gone off to forge iron or create hidden weapons.

Right now, his entire focus was on cultivation.

In his view, wasting precious early training time on crafting tools instead of increasing his soul power was foolish.

After all, the stronger one's foundation in the early stages, the faster one could advance in the mid and late stages.

Even though his path seemed to have been carefully arranged by certain gods, Li Si was determined to advance as quickly as possible.

Within just three months of enrolling, his soul power had already reached Rank 15!

If you discounted the one level of innate soul power he was "given," it would still be Rank 14.

Unlike the original Tang San, who had started at Rank 13 after gaining his first soul ring, Li Si had begun at Rank 11.

"Tang San, I'm hungry! Use your first soul skill to give me something to eat!"

A soft, childlike voice interrupted Li Si's thoughts, pulling him back to reality.

The speaker was none other than Xiao Wu.

Dressed in the Notting Academy uniform, Xiao Wu now had a slightly more mature look…

Li Si glanced at her and felt utterly helpless.

"Here comes the 'qiu, qiu, nei, nei' Blue Silver Grass that tastes like heaven…"

With an expression as blank as a sheet of paper, Li Si muttered a soul incantation in a dull tone, his eyes losing all light.

A cluster of Blue Silver Grass, shaped eerily like Nine Heart Begonia, appeared in his hand.

"Ugh, Tang San, this incantation of yours is all wrong! It makes the Blue Silver Grass taste awful, and its recovery effects are weak!"

Xiao Wu pouted as she shook her head in disapproval, staring at the soul skill with disdain.

"You need to add emotion to it! And the hand gesture—"

Li Si felt like slapping his past self.

Why, why had he chosen to experiment with soul skills in the dead of night a month ago?

And why had Xiao Wu caught him in the act?!

"Eat it or don't. If you're not eating, go to the cafeteria."

Li Si clutched his aching head. He desperately wanted to escape this world!

What if, someday in the future, he became a god?

Would his soul incantation haunt his divine title?

"Hiss…"

The thought made him shiver.

Too horrifying!

"Fine~ I'm crying now!"

"…"

You're over ten thousand years old. Can't you act your age?

Li Si sighed deeply. Resigned, he once again muttered:

"Here comes the 'qiu, qiu, nei, nei' Blue Silver Grass that tastes like heaven!"

This time, he forced a smile, shaped his hands into a heart gesture, and infused his voice with deep emotion.

With his first soul ring glowing, another cluster of Blue Silver Grass appeared. This one sparkled faintly, much like the Nine Heart Begonia.

"Now that's more like it! Thank you for your hard work, Tang San!"

Xiao Wu snatched up the Blue Silver Grass and began nibbling at it happily.

Li Si just stared blankly ahead, his eyes devoid of light.

"Damn it, you wretched god! You chose the food-type soul path for me?! I swear I won't let you get away with this next time!"

At this moment, Li Si felt tears welling up in his eyes.

"Oscar, I understand you now!"

Oscar's incantations might have been questionable, but at least they weren't this embarrassing!

"Am I considered a food-type innate full soul power now?"

"If I break through to Rank 90, will the Food God pass down their divine position to me?"

As this thought crossed his mind, Li Si recalled the criteria for inheriting the Food God's divine position.

You had to have a food-type Martial Soul.You had to reach Title Douluo before the age of 40.

Since his Blue Silver Grass technically qualified as "edible," and since he was clearly on the food-type soul path, wouldn't that make him eligible for the Food God's inheritance?

If he reached Rank 90 before Oscar, wouldn't he inherit it first?

The Food God: "…"

If Li Si really broke through to Rank 90 before Oscar, the Food God would have no choice but to pass the divine position to him.

So what if it's Blue Silver Grass? As long as it's food-related, it works!

In fact, the Food God was already planning to retire with the Nine-Colored Goddess. They didn't care who inherited the position—as long as it was a food-type Martial Soul user.

Unfortunately, the Food God didn't yet know that Li Si had another Martial Soul…

Sigh… if only I could grow up faster.

"I haven't seen that god in three months. It seems like Lin Fan's doing just fine!"

After all, not choosing meant things were going well, right?

Eventually, Li Si and Xiao Wu strolled leisurely back to Notting Academy. Ever since Xiao Wu became the "big sister" of the academy, all the work-study students' tasks had been handed over to the noble students.

"Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Sister Xiao Wu!"

The students only had eyes for Xiao Wu, their beloved leader. As for Li Si, he was nothing more than Xiao Wu's sidekick—unworthy of mention.

Xiao Wu nodded slightly in acknowledgment, satisfied.

"Hmph! At such a young age, all you know is playing around and forming cliques. You'll never amount to anything!"

A stern voice suddenly rang out, making both Li Si and Xiao Wu frown.

This guy again! Without even turning around, they knew exactly who it was—Yu Xiaogang.

Other than that sloppy and self-important "Grandmaster," who else could it be?

"Every day you cultivate, yet you're still not at Rank 30," Li Si shot back sarcastically.

"'There's no such thing as a useless Martial Soul, only useless Soul Masters!' Doesn't that apply to you?"

Xiao Wu chimed in with a sneer.

"Your Luo San Pao is adorable, but you're the reason it can't break through Rank 30!"

"Yes! And 'Grandmaster,' didn't you say you forgot your name? Funny how you plaster it everywhere in your books!"

"Hahaha!"

Their mockery infuriated Yu Xiaogang.

How dare they?!

"Provoking your teacher? You'll be expelled!"

As Yu Xiaogang prepared to storm off, Li Si smirked and said,

"Funny… I thought you were just mooching off the academy for food and board. You're not even a real teacher here, are you?"

Yu Xiaogang froze. He had no rebuttal because Li Si was absolutely right.

"Tang San, if you don't accept me as your master, you'll regret it someday!"

"Regret? You dare threaten me? Do you even know what my surname is?!"

At these words, Yu Xiaogang's whole body stiffened in shock.

Tang? A twin Martial Soul? That means his other Martial Soul must be…
