60 67. The Flat-Headed Man by the Coconut Grove Lake (2)
Flanders was born into a family of traveling merchants.
His father often traveled around to sell goods. Because he had no long-term stable customers and his business was not big,
his father was dishonest and sold fake and shoddy products. He often sold goods to customers with less weight. This kind of thing happened.
Also, because his customers were not those nobles or powerful people, but some self-employed people, small merchants, and ordinary people, Flanders' family had been in business for so long without being retaliated against.
His father's character also influenced Flanders, and he developed a stingy, treacherous, and petty-cheating character in his later years.
What really changed their family was the awakening of Flanders' martial spirit when he was a child.
He awakened the innate 8.5 level soul power, and his martial spirit was the cat-owl.
Flanders' talent is already considered a genius in the entire Douluo Continent. As long as he grows up, gets married and has children, his family will be able to get rid of the status of a lowly merchant and become a noble soul master family (if Flanders' father knew that Flanders loved a woman and died alone for her, his coffin would definitely explode.), so the father who used to be stingy was not stingy at all in cultivating Flanders.
He spent a lot of money to hire the best soul master team, hunted a hundred-year soul ring for Flanders, and spent money to support Flanders to study in the best soul master academy he could arrange.
In the soul master academy, Flanders first met the woman who moved his heart, Liu Erlong.
What made the two of them bond was the induction of each other's martial souls, and the martial soul induction meant that they both had martial soul fusion skills.
In Douluo Continent, soul masters with martial soul fusion skills can practice with each other, thereby speeding up their practice, and at the same time, they can also bring them closer.
In the entire Douluo Continent, soul masters with martial soul fusion skills are mostly gay men and orange women, and most men and women can form a pair.
Flanders was also very happy, because it meant that he and Liu Erlong were a destined pair.
But -
they clearly had martial soul induction, but they could not form a martial soul fusion skill, let alone practice dual cultivation to speed up their practice.
Even the teachers in the academy were puzzled by it, and finally concluded that martial soul induction was an illusion.
Flanders was very disappointed with this, and he finally let it go.
Let's talk about Liu Erlong. She was raised by her mother and her father was Yu Luomian. The reason why she had her own reason was a fleeting love affair with Yu Luomian.
Yu Luomian herself did not attach importance to this mother and daughter until her own martial spirit awakened, and then she began to pay attention to this unexpected daughter. Liu Erlong's talent is as high as level 8.5. Although her martial spirit has mutated, it has not mutated malignantly like Yu Xiaogang. The Fire Dragon Martial Spirit and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Spirit are both top beast martial spirits of the same level. If carefully cultivated, Liu Erlong will definitely become a Soul Douluo in the future, and the title can be expected.
Liu Erlong has to admit that she and her mother have indeed received the favor of Yu Luomian. The
reason why she can afford to go to the Soul Master Academy and the reason why she can get the right hundred-year soul ring instead of a ten-year soul ring is naturally because of Yu Luomian's help.
Therefore, for Liu Erlong, although she does not like this irresponsible father since childhood, she also assumes that she is her father.
Liu Erlong and Flanders met because of martial spirit induction. Although they did not use the corresponding martial spirit fusion skills, they became good friends.
They have a common ideal, that is, they want to open a soul master academy, but the two have deviated from their ideals. Although Liu Erlong is a concubine of the sect, she was raised by her mother since she was a child and witnessed the difficulties of civilian soul masters. Her ideal is to open a soul master academy for civilian soul masters.
Flanders, who was born as a businessman, naturally looks at this matter from a businessman's perspective. He believes that if the school wants to succeed, it must first create a brand, create a gimmick to attract talented soul masters to join, and then train them to become talents, and make their own reputation in the mainland soul master competition, so that the academy can become a hit.
Of course, although the two have differences, they have not yet reached the point of tearing their faces apart. After all, the academy is not something that can be established in one day, and this dream is too far away from them. (So, because Liu Erlong was obsessed with Yu Xiaogang in the later period, Lan Ba Academy became Shrek Academy, and it was all Xiaogang's fault if it continued according to Flanders's ideas!)
After graduating from the Soul Master Academy, Flanders and Liu Erlong traveled around the mainland together, making friends with soul masters and preparing for the opening of the Soul Master Academy in the future.
Flanders brought Liu Erlong to the Coconut Grove City, a holy place for confession. He wanted to confess to Liu Erlong during the annual Lantern Festival this year.
For this confession, Flanders made all preparations, waiting for a grand and romantic confession ceremony to touch Liu Erlong's heart.
However, the first step of the plan went wrong. Flanders wanted to take Liu Erlong to the Coconut Grove Lake for boating, but before they started, they both felt the martial soul induction at the same time.
"Martial soul induction?" Flanders said in surprise.
"You sensed it!" Liu Erlong said.
Flanders nodded, and he thought of an incredible guess in his heart: "So, our martial soul fusion technique is not composed of two people, but at least three people."
"Three people? How is this possible!" Liu Erlong said in disbelief.
"In the world of soul masters, it's not surprising that a three-person martial soul fusion technique appears." Flender said, "Anyway, let's find the person who gave us a strong martial soul sensation."
So, they followed the martial soul sensation and then saw the scene in front of them -
a short-haired man in a black bachelor's suit was looking at the lake with a vicissitudes of life.
He walked forward a few steps.
What does he want to do? Flender and Liu Erlong wondered.
But when they saw the short-haired man stretched out his feet to touch the lake surface, and then retracted them.
"Does he want to?" Liu Erlong guessed.
Flender said, "We must stop him." Then, his martial soul possessed him, and a pair of owl wings grew on his back. He flapped his wings and flew to the back of the short-haired man, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder: "Brother, what is it that you can't think of that you have to choose such an extreme way?"
The short-haired man came back to his senses, looked at Flender, and then looked at Liu Erlong who came later. He also felt a strong martial soul sensation.
"You feel it too." Flender said.
The short-haired man nodded, his hands behind his back, a glimmer of wisdom in his eyes: "There is a fusion of martial souls between us, and it is a rare fusion of martial souls between three people."
This was the first meeting of the Golden Iron Triangle.
