Humiliating Oneself, Ignoring is the Highest Contempt
If the Douluo Continent also had the concept of protecting animals, then the Weaving Fire Red Luan would definitely be a continent-level protected animal, its preciousness far exceeding that of the Chinese panda.
So rare that Soul Masters couldn't bear to hunt it.
Its tracks are uncertain, but the only known records of its appearance are in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, and even those are vague.
For various reasons, the Weaving Fire Red Luan is difficult to find, and even if found, it is difficult to capture due to its extremely swift speed.
In the Soul Beast Illustrated Guide, the Weaving Fire Red Luan has a prominent entry, recording a particularly peculiar characteristic, even to the point where the editor's helpless amusement can be seen in the words.
That is, this kind of Soul Beast will "self-immolate."
Because the Weaving Fire Red Luan's vitality is extremely tenacious, coupled with its swift speed and fierce fighting, Soul Masters of the same level are rarely its opponents.
If a powerful Soul Master takes action, the attack might be too strong and directly kill the Weaving Fire Red Luan, but Soul Rings can only be absorbed if the Soul Beast is killed by the absorber, ultimately causing waste.
If the attack is weak, the Weaving Fire Red Luan either escapes with its swift speed, or chooses to self-immolate when it knows it cannot escape, preferring death rather than leaving its Soul Ring to humans.
This is also the only recorded Soul Beast that, when encountering danger, uses "suicide" to prevent the enemy from profiting or to preserve its own dignity.
Lin Xiao looked at the evaluation of the Weaving Fire Red Luan in the Soul Beast Illustrated Guide.
"The Weaving Fire Red Luan is the most troublesome and hated Soul Beast for Soul Masters. However, even ants cling to life, yet it would rather choose suicide than become a Soul Ring for a Soul Master. Its unyielding spirit is admirable."
At the end of the text, it also wrote:
This kind of Soul Beast is extremely rare. Even if a Soul Master is lucky enough to encounter it, it is hoped that they will not attempt to hunt it, otherwise they may work hard for a long time and gain nothing, and also cause this rare Soul Beast to become completely extinct.
Lin Xiao felt quite touched after reading it.
"Rather self-immolate than suffer humiliation..."
"Isn't this like preferring to be a shattered jade than an intact tile?"
It was clearly just a Soul Beast, but it gave people a tragic sense of sight.
He glanced at the little red bird.
He couldn't help but wonder if it was accidental or deliberate.
Lin Xiao, who had originally planned to choose the Crimson Demon Azure Kite as his Third Soul Ring, suddenly realized that the Weaving Fire Red Luan seemed more suitable.
Lin Xiao had originally planned to choose a fire-attribute bird-type Soul Beast with extremely strong vitality for his Third Soul Ring, and the Weaving Fire Red Luan was the best solution in front of him, but now Lin Xiao was facing three problems:
First, according to the rarity of the Weaving Fire Red Luan, it may have already become extinct.
Second, the Weaving Fire Red Luan's speed is extremely fast, even the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent is not enough in front of it. It should be known that in the original work, the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny worked together to chase the millennium Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent for many days.
Third, the Weaving Fire Red Luan has the characteristic of "self-immolation," which is extremely troublesome. Even if he encounters it, it will be difficult to use it as a Soul Ring.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but have a headache.
This little red bird really gave him a problem.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also quietly reading.
In fact, both of them were the type to study hard, but compared to Lin Xiao, they seemed a little lazy, but in fact, they were quite diligent.
Lin Xiao closed the book and fell into thought.
He finally decided to try anyway. In the meantime, he could also look for the eight-thousand-year Crimson Demon Azure Kite as an alternative. If he couldn't get the Weaving Fire Red Luan, then the Crimson Demon Azure Kite would take its place.
In the afternoon, the library was about to close and had begun clearing people out.
The three of them left the library together.
They were just about to find a place to eat.
However, Yu Tianheng, who had been waiting anxiously outside the library, walked up with a large group of followers.
His eyes lingered on Dugu Yan for a long time.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
Her cold and beautiful face and shapely figure were very appealing. That aloof temperament with a sense of detachment made Yu Tianheng unable to stop himself.
Especially after receiving the support of his family, Yu Tianheng had already regarded Dugu Yan as his private property, and he could not tolerate others coveting her.
Just...
Yu Tianheng's gaze swept over Dugu Yan, staring straight at Lin Xiao behind her, a fake smile appearing on his paralyzed face.
This forced smile made one feel uncomfortable all over.
"Red-haired kid, care to introduce yourself?"
The other party's posture clearly indicated ill intentions.
Dugu Yan's expression had already turned cold from being scrutinized earlier, and upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, her face became even frostier, her eyes as cold as ice.
She hated anyone showing malice towards Lin Xiao.
Anyone who did so was just asking for trouble, as Lin Xiao never provoked anyone and was even quite helpful.
"Are you acquainted with us? Who do you think you are!"
Ye Lingling, usually the most socially awkward, didn't even need much internal debate before stepping forward to retort angrily:
"Exactly, who knows you!"
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was relatively calm.
He glanced at Yu Tianheng without saying a word.
He simply asked Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, "Where shall we go for dinner later?"
The three of them ignored Yu Tianheng completely, not giving him any face.
This caused Yu Tianheng's expression to be extremely gloomy from the start, and Lin Xiao's direct disregard only intensified his dissatisfaction to the extreme.
Ignoring someone was the highest form of contempt!
He had been born into a life of luxury, surrounded by attendants and servants, and now, with the clan entrusting him with important tasks, he was even more arrogant. When had he ever been subjected to such treatment?
Yu Tianheng wanted to explode.
However, Dugu Yan was the granddaughter of Dugu Bo, and Dugu Bo regarded his only relative as his lifeline. If Dugu Yan complained to Dugu Bo, he had no doubt that Dugu Bo could personally kill him!
Ye Lingling was the direct descendant of the Nine Hearted Begonia clan. Although the Nine Hearted Begonia lineage was passed down through a single heir and consisted only of healing-type Soul Masters, their connections spanned the world, and their status was no less than that of a Titled Douluo! Provoking Ye Lingling would undoubtedly bring great trouble to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and would be tantamount to cutting themselves off from the Soul Master world!
As for Lin Xiao...
Seeing Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan treating him like a treasure, and hearing rumors that he was a disciple of Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo, Yu Tianheng still dared not act rashly.
In the end, Yu Tianheng clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, and could only watch helplessly as Lin Xiao led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling away.
The strange gazes of his followers made Yu Tianheng feel utterly humiliated.
"Dugu Yan! I want to talk to you!"
"I've actually been paying attention to you!"
Yu Tianheng's intention was still to win over Dugu Yan, and fearing a misunderstanding, he simply shouted loudly at the departing figures of Lin Xiao and the two girls.
"In Heaven Dou Royal Academy, only I am worthy of you!"
However, Lin Xiao and the two girls never looked back.
"Sister Yan Yan, is that poker face calling you?"
"Ugh, he's obviously calling you!"
"Really, he likes you!"
"He likes you!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's eyes were full of disgust.
It seemed that being associated with Yu Tianheng in any way was an indelible disgrace...
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, thought Yu Tianheng was really childish.
Both childish and annoying.
He wondered if he grew up drinking "Six Nuclear Bombs".
Her thought process was quite peculiar.
P.S. Here's an extra chapter. The updates have indeed been very unstable recently, but there are a lot of trivial matters to deal with. Tomorrow's update will be as usual, but it will be during the day.
