77: Azure Dragon Emperor
Snake Lance Douluo's eyelids twitched.
He had been personally singled out and remembered.
He had also heard about what happened to Spirit Kite Douluo.
Moreover, the other party was the Supreme Pontiff's Disciple.
Snake Lance Douluo felt a bit bitter, yet also somewhat furious.
He was a Titled Douluo, after all; how did a mere Spirit Elder dare to say such words?
Furthermore, he belonged to the Hall of Worship.
He didn't need to obey Bibi Dong's orders.
Thinking of this...
Snake Lance Douluo's confidence grew.
"Elder Gui, is this kid threatening me?"
"You could interpret it that way!"
Elder Gui glanced at him, knowing this fellow wouldn't pay any compensation.
He simply decided not to stay any longer.
"Young Lord, I shall take my leave first."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, having said nothing from start to finish.
Ghost Douluo turned and left.
Thornblood Douluo looked at Qian Renxue, "Young Lord, this kid is quite bold, threatening a Titled Douluo. How about I pay him a visit and show him that a Titled Douluo is not to be insulted?"
A glint immediately flashed in Snake Lance Douluo's eyes. With Ci Xue as his partner, he wouldn't even fear a Super Douluo.
Qian Renxue waved her hand; she was merely curious about that woman's Disciple.
Although she wanted to see what kind of person he was, her mission was at a critical stage. She needed to replace Xue Qinghe, and no accidents could be allowed... As the morning sun rose, Su Wen saw Ghost Douluo return empty-handed to the room.
He raised an eyebrow slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, Dugu Yan's voice sounded from outside.
"Su Wen, my grandfather is here!"
Su Wen walked out of the room, and Ghost Douluo vanished along with him. Outside, besides Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, there was also a white-haired old man.
The old man was tall and thin, standing as straight as a javelin. His hair and beard were white, with a faint hint of green.
"Congratulations, Elder Dugu. It seems your condition is basically resolved."
Su Wen could sense that Dugu Bo was stronger than he had been half a year ago. The feeling he gave off was no longer gloomy and dangerous, but rather a powerful, domineering force.
"Haha, after half a year apart, you've grown even more demonic, kid!"
"You certainly know how to give a compliment!"
Su Wen was speechless.
He stepped forward and patted Dugu Yan on the shoulder.
Under her bewildered gaze, he spoke, "Well? I've fattened up your granddaughter, haven't I?"
Both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were stunned. Then, Dugu Yan subconsciously checked her own body. Finding no weight gain, she looked at him with somewhat resentful eyes.
Ye Lingling covered her mouth, struggling to suppress a laugh.
Dugu Bo's lips twitched; this kid really had a way with words. Seeing that Yan Yan didn't blow up, he was also slightly surprised.
"Elder Dugu, have you already consumed the Immortal Plant?"
At the mention of this, a smile appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
Nine spirit rings appeared.
They were in the optimal spirit ring configuration.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit... no, a giant dragon, emerald green all over and covered in layers of green scales, appeared before everyone's eyes.
It radiated a jade-like glow, and dragon prestige spread in all directions.
As its pair of massive green wings flapped gently, a gale was stirred up, making the surrounding windows creak and rattle.
"Grandfather, your Spirit!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling covered their mouths in surprise.
Dugu Bo's Spirit had actually evolved!
"Haha, after the toxins were dealt with, I consumed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and as a result, my Spirit underwent a change."
"My toxins were weakened, but my strength and defense have increased significantly."
"And after taking the Immortal Plant, I feel like my upper limit has been unlocked. After cultivating for a while, I am now a Rank 92 Titled Douluo."
"I even gave this Spirit a name: the Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor!"
Dugu Bo proudly recounted his experiences during this period.
From now on, if anyone dared to call him the weakest Titled Douluo again, he would let them taste the power of his fists.
"By the way, I suddenly received a letter from Yu Qinglong."
"That fellow is likely planning to deal with you."
Dugu Bo suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Yu Qinglong?"
Su Wen raised an eyebrow. "Someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Yes, Yu Qinglong is the Fourth Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a Rank 86 Spirit Douluo, and currently Yu Tianheng's Dao Protector."
"Spirit Douluos hold a very high status in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and usually don't take the initiative to protect juniors. However, some time ago, Thunder Academy suffered heavy losses while hunting for spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest. It's said that Yu Tianxin was also significantly injured, and a Spirit Saint was lost. Thus, two Elders were dispatched to focus on protecting Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng. After all, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is counting on the two of them to produce two more Titled Douluos, so they are viewed as extremely important..."
Dugu Bo's gaze turned fierce as he spoke, "I've also heard about what happened between you. Yu Qinglong is likely doing this to wait for me to make the first move, taking advantage of my friction with Spirit Hall. Do you want me to deal with it..."
Su Wen shook his head. Knowing that Ghost Douluo was following in the shadows, there was no need for Dugu Bo to act.
If they really came, it would be the perfect opportunity to strengthen Ghastly Rain.
Seeing him like this, Dugu Bo stopped focusing on the matter.
He turned his gaze to Dugu Yan. "Yan Yan, what rank are you now?"
"Grandfather, you're only just remembering me now!"
Dugu Yan curled her lip but still released her spirit rings.
"This... this is..."
Dugu Bo's eyes widened instantly upon seeing that configuration of one yellow and two purple spirit rings.
He even rubbed his eyes, suspecting he was seeing things, until he heard his granddaughter's voice.
"Grandfather, I'm Rank 35, hmph!"
Dugu Yan puffed out her chest and spoke quite proudly.
Dugu Bo was lost in shock until he finished processing this information, then he calmly asked for the reason.
"Hehe, Su Wen, I'm entrusting Yan Yan to you from now on!"
"She might be a bit naughty normally, but she's definitely a good girl."
Having understood the gist of it, Dugu Bo suddenly grabbed Su Wen's hands intimately.
The second and third spirit rings had actually both exceeded the normal age limits.
She had even obtained an external Spirit Bone.
The more he looked at Su Wen, the more he liked him.
"Grandfather, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Dugu Yan stomped her foot in shame and annoyance. Dugu Bo's sudden behavior made the tips of her ears turn as red as burning coals.
Su Wen shook off his hands with some disdain, speechless. "Why don't you listen to what you're saying?"
"Hahaha, you kid, I was just joking with you. You're not even grown yet... What's with that look of disdain?"
"Don't worry, I'm not looking down on Yan Yan!"
Dugu Bo's lips twitched. Did that mean he was looking down on him instead?
After Dugu Bo left, Ye Qingxian's arrangements for moving were almost complete, and she had also arranged for Ye Lingling's withdrawal from school.
On the morning of the second day, just as everyone had boarded the carriage to head to Spirit City, a maidservant suddenly spoke in a soft voice.
"Madam, Young Miss, Miss Dugu, Master Su Wen, there is a man outside looking for Miss Dugu. It seems to be Yu Tianheng!"
Dugu Yan was discussing life in Spirit City with Ye Lingling. Hearing the name, she frowned slightly. "I won't see him!"
"Yan Yan, I heard your voice! Yan Yan, I've already had Uncle Qinglong notify Senior Dugu... Get away, don't block me..."
