Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena

The door swung open, and everyone in the room turned to look.

"Teacher!"

Seeing that it was their teacher, Qin Ming, all seven rose to greet him.

Qin Ming nodded to them.

"Mm, sit down."

Then he said to Dugu Yan:

"Yanzi, your solo Soul Fight is about to start. Get ready."

"You've only just reached level thirty-one. Your opponent's Soul Power Level will most likely be quite a bit higher than yours."

"If you can't win, surrender. Don't damage your foundation."

"Yes, Teacher!" Dugu Yan had eaten one and a half Immortal Herbs to rise six levels in a row and reach level thirty-one. As for her teacher Qin Ming, it was said that when he was her age, his Soul Power had already reached level thirty-three or thirty-four.

Knowing full well how terrifying Qin Ming's talent was, Dugu Yan treated him with even greater respect after eating the Jade Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower.

The door opened again, and Dugu Bo walked in.

"Grandpa!"

Apart from Dugu Yan, the other seven, Qin Ming included, hurriedly bowed and greeted Dugu Bo when they saw him arrive.

"Greetings, Senior Dugu, Poison Douluo."

Dugu Bo ignored the other seven and looked at Dugu Yan as she ran toward him. He spread his arms and let her throw herself into his embrace.

"Haha, Yanyan, Grandpa came especially to tell you some good news."

"Good news? Wait! Grandpa, don't tell me yet. Let me guess!"

Dugu Yan looked thoughtful. The last time Grandpa had been this happy, he had been playing bondage play with his brother, and when he returned, he had brought her an Immortal Herb that raised her by six levels in a row.

What could it be this time?

Could it be another one?

"Grandpa, don't tell me you got me another one of those herbs?"

The moment Dugu Yan said it, the people in the room, especially her teammates, stared wide-eyed.

Was that for real?

Had Poison Douluo gotten Dugu Yan another herb?

Fucking hell...

Dugu Bo was so exasperated by his precious granddaughter that he laughed.

He lightly tapped Dugu Yan on the forehead and said:

"What are you thinking? I've broken through to level ninety-two!"

Broken through to level ninety-two?

What an unfamiliar phrase.

For as long as Dugu Yan could remember, her grandfather Dugu Bo had always been at level ninety-one.

Just when she thought Grandpa would never reach level ninety-two in his lifetime, she never imagined he would actually break through to it!

What joyous news!

"Level ninety-two?"

"Grandpa, you really broke through to level ninety-two!?"

"Of course. Would Grandpa lie to you?" Dugu Bo rubbed Dugu Yan's smiling face.

Knock, knock~

A knock sounded at the door, and Qin Ming went to open it of his own accord.

"Hello, it's almost Dugu Yan's turn. Is she here?"

"I'm here, I'm here!" Dugu Yan ran out of Dugu Bo's embrace and waved.

"Grandpa, wait here and watch me defeat my opponent!"

"All right, Grandpa will watch you defeat your opponent right here."

Hearing that, the people standing beside the sofa hurriedly moved away, leaving the whole sofa to Dugu Bo.

"Next up is a Soul Elder-level match: Dugu Yan, a Battle Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul, against Zhang Fan, also a Battle Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul!"

"Without further ado, the Soul Fight will begin!"

As Tang Feng was registering for Soul Fighting, he heard the host announce the two contestants at a distant arena. Catching a familiar name, he turned to look.

A brief sweep with his spiritual power confirmed that it was indeed Dugu Yan.

That meant Dugu Bo was most likely here too.

After all, given Dugu Bo's habits, he would definitely share something as important as breaking through to level ninety-two with his precious granddaughter.

After filling out the form and having his Soul Power tested, he was indeed confirmed to be a level twenty-eight Soul Grandmaster.

Tang Feng also signed up for a one-on-one Soul Fight.

In a super-luxurious private room reserved for royalty and nobles, Ning Fengzhi looked at the purple-haired girl on the stage and spoke to the first prince, 'Xue Qinghe,' beside him:

"The girl with short purple hair on the stage is Dugu Yan. It's said that her Soul Power rose six levels in six days."

"The descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Shi, and Ye families who are her age are only at level twenty-four or twenty-five."

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly. He had heard about it too.

It had caused quite a stir at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Teacher, why do you think she suddenly broke through six levels in a row? Rumor has it she ate an herb Poison Douluo gave her. Is there really an herb that potent?"

Xue Qinghe watched Dugu Yan's match in the arena closely.

"Perhaps there is. Dugu Bo has immersed himself in the way of poison for so many years. Who's to say he hasn't actually refined something?"

At that, Ning Fengzhi thought of his family's Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Though it was esteemed as the continent's number one support-type tool Martial Soul, it had an obvious flaw: a Soul Master who possessed it could never break through level seventy-nine.

At present, the only person in the entire sect with a chance of breaking through level seventy-nine in the future was his youngest daughter, Ning Rongrong. With innate level-nine Soul Power, she had an excellent chance of evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

As for the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Fengzhi didn't even dare dream of it.

"Qinghe, if you get the chance, you should recruit her. With Dugu Yan's current talent, she should have no trouble becoming a Titled Douluo in the future."

Xue Qinghe gave a rueful laugh.

"Teacher, I'd like to as well, but I'm afraid Senior Poison Douluo might make things a little difficult."

Xue Qinghe had heard about Dugu Bo's character. He was a purebred wild Titled Douluo who had never joined any faction.

The only person he had any real connection to was Prince Xue Xing, and Prince Xue Xing was at odds with Xue Qinghe.

Recruiting Dugu Yan would be difficult, difficult, difficult...

Dugu Yan's Soul Fight soon ended, with Dugu Yan victorious.

The Soul Master named Zhang Fan was quite strong, around level thirty-five. Unfortunately, his Martial Soul was too cumbersome: a turtle. He couldn't hit Dugu Yan at all, and in the end he was poisoned and surrendered.

"She really is Poison Douluo's granddaughter. She has some of his bearing," Xue Qinghe remarked.

"Not bad. The Jade Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower wasn't wasted on her." Tang Feng had watched the entire Soul Fight. Although her Martial Soul had somewhat countered her opponent's, she had defeated someone four levels above her, so she did have some strength.

"Contestant Tang Feng, you're up next."

"Boss, go get him!" Yu Feng cheered for Yu Tianheng, who was about to take the stage beside him.

The Shi Brothers, Osler, and Ye Lingling also began cheering Yu Tianheng on.

"Boss, crush him!"

Yu Tianheng left, and Dugu Yan returned.

At the same time, Dugu Bo, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan thought Grandpa was happy about her victory, but when she came up to him, he didn't even look her in the eye.

"Yanzi, you're awesome! You took down someone above your level!"

"Yanzi, you're even more awesome than the captain now. I declare that from this moment on, you're the new captain!"

"When the time comes..."

"Quit your racket!" Seeing that her grandfather seemed to be barbecuing, Dugu Yan cut off Yu Feng's incessant chattering.

Yu Feng hurriedly shut his mouth and pressed himself obediently against the wall, saying nothing.

Tang Feng?

Was it the Tang Feng I know?

It couldn't be, could it?

After the host finished announcing the contestants' names, Tang Feng and Yu Tianheng stepped into the arena.

Dugu Bo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

It really was him!
