Ning Fengzhi's Little Scheme

Xue Qinghe smiled at Dugu Chen. "Others could only dream of an opportunity like stepping on the Number One Beast Martial Soul Under Heaven to rise to prominence, yet you're actually disgusted by it!"

Dugu Chen hurriedly waved his hands. "No! Better leave that kind of opportunity to someone else!" If Yu Tianheng had not challenged him, he would not have gone looking for trouble with him in the first place.

Xue Qinghe nodded indifferently. Although this might change the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's attitude, it did not matter as long as Dugu Chen was still here.

Surely Ning Fengzhi would not want the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to grow close to the imperial family either. The current situation was still within acceptable limits; at the very least, Dugu Bo and they had become enemies.

"Lord Dugu truly took in an excellent disciple," Ning Fengzhi said enviously to Dugu Bo beside him.

Dugu Chen repeatedly refreshed his understanding of what a genius could be. He became even more eager to obtain a genius like Dugu Chen—this was practically a replica of the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Chen, from back then.

"Hehe!!!"

Dugu Bo smiled in satisfaction. As long as someone praised his disciple, he felt immensely pleased.

A teacher of Titled Douluo! Just thinking about it made him feel good in both body and mind! And there were three in his family. How would the continent record him in the future? He, Dugu Bo, would have four Douluo in his household.

"Nephew Dugu, Rongrong is entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study today. I hope you'll look after her in the future."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi took Ning Rongrong's hand and introduced her to everyone.

Ning Rongrong, dressed in a white gown, stepped forward with an obedient, shy expression.

She had neat, ear-length short hair, bright and lively eyes, jade-white skin, and a pretty oval face. Her youthful skin was exceptionally fair and tender.

Anyone who saw her would praise her: "What a refined young lady."

The few of them exchanged polite greetings, each with their own thoughts. Ning Fengzhi's intentions seemed all too obvious.

Dugu Yan stepped forward and linked her arm through Dugu Chen's, discreetly sizing Ning Rongrong up.

Her gaze swept over Ning Rongrong's immature little face and flat chest, and a trace of mockery surfaced deep in her eyes. She understood her junior brother best. Though he was not very old, he was extremely mature. He would never like someone so "unremarkable"!

Ning Fengzhi's plans would probably come to nothing this time.

Ning Rongrong's large eyes rolled around as she looked at Dugu Yan clinging to Dugu Chen's arm, a brilliant smile appearing on her face.

"Brother Chen, if someone bullies me in the future, can I come find you?"

Dugu Chen's expression stiffened. "Of course you can!"

Would anyone at the academy even dare bully Ning Rongrong? Had she not seen Vice Dean Zhi Lin frantically shaking his head under Sword Douluo's gaze?

Seeing that Dugu Yan had no reaction, disappointment flashed through Ning Rongrong's eyes. She nodded happily and returned to Ning Fengzhi's side.

Ning Fengzhi looked at his exquisitely adorable daughter beside him, an unusual smile appearing on his face.

"Then Rongrong is in your care, nephew. Rongrong, you mustn't be naughty at the academy. Sword Uncle, let's go!"

After reminding them a few more times, Ning Fengzhi left with Sword Douluo. As he departed, Sword Douluo's reluctance nearly overflowed from his face.

"Then I'll take my leave as well. Brother Chen, I'll come find you again next time. Senior Zhi Lin, I'll leave the academy matters to you." After speaking to them, Xue Qinghe turned and departed as well. He had been getting increasingly busy lately.

Ever since Emperor Xue Ye had spoken last time, Xue Xing had gone quiet. Xue Qinghe himself had also taken over more authority, to the point that even his cultivation time had been delayed. It seemed he needed to have Grandfather send over a few trustworthy people.

As the crowd dispersed, Dugu Bo gave Dugu Chen and the others a few reminders before leaving alone. He still needed to go back and think carefully about what he could extort from Yu Yuanzhen.

After the others left, Dugu Chen and the other two accompanied Ning Rongrong and Vice Dean Zhi Lin to complete her enrollment procedures.

Since Ning Rongrong was only Level 22, she was placed in the lowest Heavenly Micro Level. For the first time, this gave Ning Rongrong a sense of urgency. Everyone around her was a Soul Ancestor or Soul Elder; the gap between her and them was far too great.

The group took Ning Rongrong around the academy. It had to be said that Ning Rongrong's social skills were fully maxed out. Before long, she had blended in with everyone.

By evening, they parted ways and returned to their respective dormitories. Ning Rongrong was only in the Heavenly Micro Level and should have been assigned to a shared dormitory, but who told her to have connections?

Since she had promised Ning Fengzhi to take care of her, Dugu Yan brought Ning Rongrong back to her own courtyard. The rooms were large enough, so there was more than enough space for her.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Dugu Chen circulated his Soul Power and carefully sensed the changes from the daytime.

Dugu Chen discovered that his Soul Power, physical constitution, resilience, and vitality had all increased by a full thirty percent.

Combining the dragon roar from the day, the earlier changes in his Martial Soul, and his own Golden Bloodline, he recalled that the Golden Bloodline and Silver Bloodline of Douluo Continent both originated from the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon.

He was basically certain that his bloodline was likely connected to the Golden Dragon. He did not think any deeper than that—the fellow was still imprisoned in the God Realm.

The Golden Dragon originated from the Golden Dragon King, one of the Dragon God's two great incarnations, and possessed the purest dragon bloodline.

He could not understand where his Golden Bloodline had come from. To summon such a pure dragon phantom, his bloodline level was likely not low. It could not have been inherited from the Golden Crocodile King or the Dreadclaw Bear.

It was rather troublesome to think about. Since he could not figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it. It was not doing him any harm, and as his strength increased, he would understand it one day.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xue Ye listened to Xue Qinghe's report below and rubbed his brow center helplessly.

"Since things have already come to this, do your utmost to befriend Dugu Bo and the others. Qinghe, I'll leave this matter to you. As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, try not to offend them. Send someone to explain the situation."

Xue Qinghe below cupped his hands in acknowledgment, then turned and left the magnificent golden hall.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was located not far from Thunder Canyon. This place was surrounded by lightning year-round, making it highly suitable for their Martial Souls.

At this moment, within True Dragon Hall atop True Dragon Mountain, more than a dozen imposing middle-aged men and elders sat gathered.

They were the backbone of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, all Soul Masters above Level 70. As they looked at Yu Xiaolong and Yu Tianheng in the center, the atmosphere within the hall was somewhat heavy.

Seated above them was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's only Titled Douluo, the Level 95 Super Douluo Yu Yuanzhen. He opened his mouth and asked, "Is that kid really that bizarre?"

Yu Xiaolong nodded frantically. "Sect Master, that kid is simply a monster."

Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Tianheng beside him and asked, "Tianheng, do you think so too?"

Yu Tianheng had remained silent the entire way, and now he merely nodded in silence.

An icy-faced old man seated below Yu Yuanzhen spoke up. "Sect Master, a mere Soul Ancestor dares to provoke our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Let me go."

"No!" Yu Yuanzhen stopped his dangerous idea.

"There is no need to worry about your poison. I will personally meet Dugu Bo and see what gives him the nerve to threaten me."
