Dugu Yan, Poison Elder Dugu Bo

As Tang Wulin and his companion appeared in a flash, they reappeared in a secluded courtyard in the mountains, while Golden Crocodile Douluo once again disappeared into the shadows.

"At this hour, the old monster should be home."

Tang Wulin smiled knowingly, and as he thought about it, he immediately stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Hmm? Is Lingling here?"

"Wait a moment."

A light, melodious female voice came from inside the courtyard. Soon after, the door opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman in her twenties appeared before them.

This is a tall girl with long purple hair. She is extremely beautiful, with a stunning face that exudes a strong sense of heroism, and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes that are Sisi alluring.

She was wearing a casual light purple robe, and her mature figure couldn't be hidden even in casual clothes, revealing a pair of slender legs.

Her name is Dugu Yan, granddaughter of the Azure Douluo Dugu Bo, her martial soul is the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and she is the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Team.

"Hmm? You are...?"

Looking at the young man before her, Dugu Yan was visibly stunned. It wasn't Lingling, and this familiar feeling...

Gradually, her eyes lit up.

"Sister Yanyan, it's been a long time."

Tang Wulin smiled and said softly.

"Your His Highness Wulin, what brings you here?"

"Please come in!"

Dugu Yan merged the figure from her memory with the other person, her face beaming with smiles, her eyes filled with surprise, and she spoke with excitement.

It had been several years since they last saw each other, and they never expected that the other person would come to their house today, and...

The changes are truly remarkable! Even someone I remember so vividly now hardly recognizes me.

"Sister Yanyan, just call me Wulin..."

Hearing this familiar form of address, even Tang Wulin was taken aback, and quickly shook his head with a smile.

"It's okay, it's just a habit. Come on, let's sit down and chat, okay?"

"Um...?"

Dugu Yan nodded with a smile, but showed no intention of changing her mind. A blush appeared on her face as she pulled the other person toward the Small Pavilion in the courtyard.

A sense of doubt flashed through Tang Wulin's mind upon hearing this.

When he first came to Heaven Dou City, he only stayed for less than two weeks. Could that really be called getting used to it?

"Sister Yanyan, how's your cultivation going lately?"

Tang Wulin didn't think much of it and followed the other person to a small pavilion. He was already sitting down next to the other person and asked softly.

"Thanks to Your Highness's help back then, I recently broke through level 40. Thanks to the effects of the Whale Rubber, I even obtained Fourth Soul Ring that suits me, and I'm now level 43."

As Dugu Yan spoke, she also released her Martial Soul. At the same time, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent materialized behind her, and four Soul Rings appeared at her feet.

Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black!

Having also consumed Whale Rubber, her Soul Ring Age has reached a level unmatched by her peers.

It was thanks to this that she became an undisputed top-tier student at the Heaven Dou Academy, with even the likes of Yu Tianheng not being worthy of her using her full strength.

"Innate Level Eight Soul Power, forty-third-level cultivation, and the fourth ring of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit—in this era, he'd definitely be granted a title. If he absorbs immortal Immortal Herbs, he could even contend with becoming Second-Level God..."

Tang Wulin's eyes were thoughtful. Nineteen years old was certainly not considered a great age, but it was much better than in the original story, which was already a significant improvement.

After all, this was achieved without consuming Immortal Herbs; this talent already seemed to have already surpassed that of a certain Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

The help the other party mentioned was naturally related to their experience of resolving the toxins in their body, which, in fact, was aided by the ability he acquired from that other party...

[Ultimate Poison]

[Immune to all deadly poisons; within the limits of one's cultivation, able to neutralize all deadly poisons in the world.]

This is the ability to use poison to its fullest potential.

Not only can he convert the energy in his body into poison for his own use, but under his cultivation level, there is absolutely nothing that can harm his poison.

It was also through this ability that he helped Dugu Yan transform the Venomous that had been in her body since childhood into energy that could actually enhance her cultivation, preventing it from erupting in the future.

As for Dugu Bo, although his cultivation level was so high that he couldn't control it, he still had the Soul Bone Technique to alleviate the situation. More than ten years was enough to sustain him until he became a god.

"Sister Yanyan has indeed been cultivating very diligently; her cultivation level has improved significantly compared to a few years ago."

Tang Wulin smiled sincerely and praised, "This is not just the effect of the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue; the other party's own cultivation is also very important."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's lips curled into a beautiful smile, which she quickly suppressed, but her delighted mood was clearly undeniable.

His Highness praised her! It seems my cultivation speed has indeed been quite fast these past two years. I still need to keep up the good work!

"Your Highness, what is your cultivation level now?"

After finishing speaking about herself, Dugu Yan focused her gaze on the other person, wondering what level of cultivation His Highness possessed. As she spoke, her eyes gleamed.

She had been attracted by the person's appearance when the door opened earlier, and now, upon closer inspection, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Only two years have passed, yet His Highness Wulin has changed so much; he's already a handsome young man.

He was a cool and adorable little boy last time he came, though he's even more endearing now...

Dugu Yan thought to herself, and soon a hint of shame flashed in her eyes. She was a full seven years older than him.

Humans cannot, or at least should not!

Not to mention, he was her savior. But isn't it said that a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's body? Perhaps...

"I managed to break through level 45 by sheer luck."

While Dugu Yan was lost in thought, Tang Wulin replied with a smile, instantly stunning her who had been lost in thought.

"Level 45!"

"He's two grades above me!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, and her face immediately fell. Wulin was twelve years old and level 45!

Dugu Yan was already nineteen years old, almost twenty, yet she was only level 44. She and the other person were truly from two different worlds.

How could she possibly catch up with him?!

In an instant, Dugu Yan's good mood vanished, the rosy glow on her face disappeared, and she silently lowered her head.

Grandpa had clearly told her that as long as she worked hard enough, she would definitely be able to keep up with His Highness's pace, but it was simply impossible for Mingming...

"Sister Yanyan, don't be discouraged. After all, you've only improved your cultivation speed in the last two years. Perhaps in a couple more years..."

Seeing the other person's disappointed look, Tang Wulin thought he had upset them, so he quickly spoke up.

Even if the other party breaks through to the Soul Ancestor in the next two years, their cultivation speed won't slow down much. Especially after absorbing an Immortal Herb, they might be able to break through to the Soul King level before they turn twenty.

In this era, we are no longer afraid of the Golden Generation.

Of course, comparing myself to him is definitely not an option, since the gap between us will only widen in a couple of years...

"Um!"

"Your Highness is right."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was taken aback, then nodded heavily, her eyes regaining their light.

She's still young, and it's not too late for her to start cultivating rapidly now. You know, two years ago she was only level 36, but now she's already level 43. She might even reach the Soul King level within two years.

So...

She still has a chance to follow in Wulin's footsteps!

Thinking of this, Dugu Yan's eyes shone brightly, and her gaze towards the person in front of her became even more ardent. Tang Wulin was taken aback by her gaze.

"Sister Yanyan, what's wrong?"

For a moment, he was also taken aback.

Although it's said that marrying a woman three years older is like finding a gold brick, and the other person is practically two and a half gold bricks, shouldn't I still be a child in his eyes?

Oh no, this woman has ulterior motives too!

Tang Wulin silently wrote it down in his mind.

"Ahem, it's nothing! I was just thinking about something happy, Your Highness, please don't take it too seriously."

Dugu Yan immediately came to her senses, a beautiful smile on her face, and said with a cheerful tone.

Tang Wulin nodded, seeing that he had come up with something happy; everyone knew what Sister Yanyan was thinking.

"By the way, Your Highness, did you come to see Grandpa this time?"

Is there a plan?

At this moment, Dugu Yan also spoke up and asked.

The fact that her grandfather had joined the Spirit Hall was known to very few people on the entire continent, but it was no secret among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall and to her.

Grandpa also said that as long as His Highness gives the order, he will reveal his identity as an elder of the Spirit Hall and return to Spirit City at any time, so that the Heaven Dou Empire will know what despair feels like, hehe!

"I've come to see Senior Poison because I have something to discuss with him, but it's related to his herb garden. Is he still cultivating right now?"

Tang Wulin clearly saw the speculation in Dugu Yan's eyes, smiled and nodded, while looking at the room not far away that was exuding the aura of Titled Douluo.

Needless to say, Dugu Bo definitely inside.

"I see, I understand. Grandpa is still cultivating right now, let's go..."

"Let's call him over."

Dugu Yan's eyes held a serious look as she chuckled.

Grandpa had told her before that she must remain quiet during her cultivation and not disturb him, but then again...

Is cultivating oneself more important than His Highness's arrival?

"Grandfather..."

"Stop cultivating."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan stepped forward, knocked heavily on the door, and said.

"..."

"Yan Yan, didn't I tell you not to call me unless it's absolutely necessary?"

A moment later, an aged voice came, tinged with a hint of helplessness. What more could he say to his beloved granddaughter?

Grandpa, look who's here!

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, the old man, who had been feeling helpless, paused for a moment, a thoughtful expression on his face, and then opened the door.

In his heart, an answer was already obvious: it was none other than Yu Tianheng, the young master of a certain Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

The opponent's legendary experience is no secret throughout the continent; he was a third-ring cultivator who couldn't defeat a second-ring cultivator, and he even inherited the reputation of being a good-for-nothing left by Yu Xiaogang.

The news of his granddaughter being pursued by her husband over the past two years has been the talk of the town in Heaven Dou City, with some even offering to marry her off to him. Even though his granddaughter chased him away, he was still furious...

"But that useless brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan..."

He walked out of the room with a grim face, a cold glint in his eyes, but when his gaze fell on the young man beside his granddaughter, he was immediately stunned.

This is clearly not Yu Tianheng, this is...

"Elder Venom, how have you been?"

Tang Wulin smiled and uttered the title, speaking as he spoke.

Your Highness!

Upon hearing this call, Dugu Bo seemed to snap out of his daze, his previously composed face instantly beaming with a broad smile as he respectfully replied.

Whether it's a familiar figure or this currently unknown title, the other person is definitely someone from your memory.

The Spirit Hall Holy Son, His Highness Wulin!

There's no time to explain. Now entering the stage is the Poison Master, the His Highness the Holy Son's most loyal subordinate, Elder Venom Dugu Bo!
