   I am Tang San in "Douluo Dalu", from Holy Soul Village. Hello everyone, I, Tang San, am here to tell you about these interesting books today. The first book really made people laugh from ear to ear. From the first chapter, I was rolling with laughter in the dormitory. If I were in bed, I would definitely beat the bed to pieces! The college student in the book is quite capable and made 2.1 Million by relying on the knowledge he learned. When the police came to find him, he stupidly thought he was going to drink tea. He was as ignorant as I was when I first went to Notting College. Let's look at the second book, "Burn thirty yuan of incense and make three billion wishes. The ancestors said that it is better for you to lie down in this position." The title of this book sounded very strange, and my curiosity was immediately aroused. I felt that there would be a wonderful story in it like my adventure in Douluo Continent. There is also the third book, which is very witty and humorous, can play those classic jokes, shakes the baggage well, and has a coherent and smooth story. There are no brainless plots that made me shake my head after reading it. I think these books are good. You should hurry up and read them. Maybe you will gain a lot of joy like me improving my soul skills.
