The 388th Level: Dugu Bo's Thoughts
"This Earth Dragon Golden Melon is most suitable for Soul Master with the Dragon Clan Martial Soul. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent is also considered a Dragon Clan, so it will be of great use to Dugu Yan as well." Lu Yuan said, handing the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan reached out and took it, asking, "How do we eat this?"
"Eat melons the way you usually do, just like you do now!" Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Oh, by the way, keep the seeds from this Earth Dragon Golden Melon. You can plant them in the Icefire Yin Yang Well later, and they can grow again," Lu Yuan said.
"Hmm!" Dugu Yan nodded, her gaze shifting as if searching for something.
"No need to find another place, just absorb it in my wooden house. We will protect you!" Lu Yuan said calmly.
"Okay!" After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Dugu Yan found a clean place, sat down cross-legged, ate the Earth Dragon Golden Melon clean, then closed her eyes and began to meditate, absorbing Soul Power.
"Hall Master, does this Earth Dragon Golden Melon really have such great effects?" Dugu Bo asked curiously, looking at the faint golden light shimmering around Dugu Yan.
"The effect will only be better than I say. After consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Dugu Yan's Soul Power will definitely reach level 40. After absorbing the fourth Soul Ring, it may rise by one or two levels. At that time, her Soul Power should be around level 41 or 42. With the addition of the Spirit Enhancement Pill, her Soul Power can be accumulated to at least level 44 or 45."
"If she can't break through to Soul King in the remaining four years, then I'll really have to despise her."
Lu Yuan said calmly.
"No, Hall Master, please rest assured. You've gone to such lengths, Yan Yan will definitely not let you down," Dugu Bo said.
"I'm just saying this. I do know about Dugu Yan's talent. Although she's not exactly a prodigy, she's still a genius. With her talent, two years might be enough, maybe even less than four years," Lu Yuan said softly.
"You're right Hall Master!" Dugu Bo said with a smile.
"By the way, Hall Master, there is something I would like to discuss with you!" After a moment of hesitation, Dugu Bo suddenly said.
"What is it? Tell me," Lu Yuan said.
"I'd like to have Yan Yan join Heavenly Star Academy. What do you think?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Why did she suddenly make such a decision? Wasn't she doing well at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Lu Yuan looked at Dugu Bo with some doubt.
"Thanks to Your Hall Master, I have the title of guest elder of the academy, and I spend most of my time there. I rarely see Yan Yan, so I would like to bring Yan Yan here so that we can meet more often," Dugu Bo said.
"Is that so?" Lu Yuan scrutinized Dugu Bo closely. This reason is ridiculous. You're just a guest elder of the academy. Do you think anyone would stop you from leaving?
You're not the dean, and you don't have that many responsibilities, so what are you doing staying in the college all day?
Once you have some free time, you won't need to stay at the academy to take care of Zhu Zhuqing and the others. You can go wherever you want and have fun, no one will stop you. After all, the Dragon King Hall hasn't been built yet, and there are plenty of medicinal herbs available, so you don't need to do anything.
And yet you tell me you don't have time to go out and have few opportunities to meet Dugu Yan?
Do you really think I'm stupid?
"Senior Dugu, getting Dugu Yan to join Heavenly Star Academy is a small matter, but you need to come up with a more suitable reason. Anyone with eyes can tell that what you just said was a lie," Lu Yuan said, rolling his eyes.
"Hehe, as expected, I can't hide it from the Hall Master. Actually, I don't have a high opinion of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After all, with the Hall Master there, the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition next year can be said to be a piece of cake. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is just a bystander. Yan Yan is of no use there."
"Besides, our Heavenly Star Academy team is short of members right now, so we can have Yan Yan come in to fill the gap. We might as well win the championship while we're at it!" Dugu Bo chuckled.
"That's a fairly convincing reason!" Lu Yuan stroked his chin and said, "Besides me and Zhu Qing, our team only has Ning Rongrong left, that's only three people. Dugu Yan's arrival would fill a vacancy, and since Dugu Yan is a control-type Soul Master, she's quite suitable."
"Right, Hall Master, you think it's suitable too? Then it's settled. I'll have Yan Yan join Heavenly Star Academy later." Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Dugu Bo's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Did you ask Dugu Yan's opinion? Did she agree? After all, she's been at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a long time, and she's probably developed feelings for her teammates."
"Don't force Dugu Yan to join if she doesn't agree, or it will make everyone unhappy," Lu Yuan said.
"I asked her, Yan Yan doesn't object. To be honest, since Yu Tianheng left, the Heaven Dou Royal Team has basically fallen apart. The only one who is on good terms with Yan Yan is that little girl from the Nine Heart Begonia Sect. Actually, Yan Yan also said that she doesn't feel very comfortable staying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"So when I told her, she didn't refuse; instead, she agreed immediately," Dugu Bo said.
"Is that so? That's good!" Lu Yuan nodded. He didn't want his team to be divided and cause any trouble.
"By the way, Senior Dugu, you just mentioned the Nine Heart Begonia Sect. Do you think we can win over this force?" Lu Yuan asked.
"I had almost forgotten about this. The Nine Heart Begonia Sect is actually not in a very good situation right now. Because the Nine Heart Begonia has good auxiliary effects and incredible healing abilities, many forces are eyeing them. They probably really need a force to protect them."
"If our Dragon King Hall were to make a move and show more sincerity, there might be a chance to win them over!" Dugu Bo said.
"Then I'll leave this matter to Senior Dugu. After all, you know much more about the Nine Heart Begonia Sect than I do, so I'll leave it to you to handle. If they have any conditions, as long as they're not excessive, you can agree to them."
"If there's anything you can't be sure of, come back and tell me, and I'll negotiate with them personally."
Lu Yuan looked at Dugu Bo and said.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you," Dugu Bo said, patting his chest.
"Alright, it's settled then. You stay here and watch over Dugu Yan. I'll go check on things from the side." Lu Yuan nodded and said.
"Then please take care, Hall Master!" Dugu Bo's voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded slightly, turned around, and left the room.
Seeing the occasional blinding golden light emanating from Zhu Zhuqing's wooden house not far away, Lu Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly, and he gently took a step towards the wooden house.
