Meeting Dugu Bo

Meeting Dugu Bo

Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. Dai Weisi also returned from the Star Dou Great Forest with Anna.

Inside the carriage, Dai Weisi smiled as he looked at the beauty sleeping in his arms. Anna was lying on his lap, fast asleep.

Over the past week, they traveled during the day. At night, when they stopped to rest, Anna would go off alone to devour the plant essence of trees to increase her Soul Power.

However, ordinary plants clearly could not compare to plant-type soul beasts such as Blue Silver Grass. In a week, Anna had absorbed the plant essence of over a hundred trees, yet her Soul Power had only risen to the peak of Level 14.

Even so, Anna's Soul Power grew far faster than that of ordinary people. Her progress in a single night was at least equivalent to a week of arduous cultivation.

It would be great if I could obtain the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Secret Technique. Dai Weisi thought. If Anna could learn the Distraction Control Secret Technique, she could split her attention in two—devouring the plant essence of trees while meditating to cultivate her Soul Power.

Unfortunately, the Star Luo Royal Family had no dealings with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Fengzhi, the state preceptor of Heaven Dou, would not associate with the Star Luo Royal Family either.

Soon, the carriage entered Star Luo City and returned to the Prince Residence.

"We're finally home. Looks like I need to work hard on my cultivation these next few days too."

Anna's Spirit Ability had made him feel pressured. If he did not work harder, perhaps one day he would be surpassed by Anna, that little girl.

The moment Dai Weisi stepped out of the carriage, a squad of fully armed Imperial Guards rushed over and dropped to one knee. "Greetings, First Prince. His Majesty has decreed that upon the First Prince's return to Star Luo, you are to proceed to the Imperial Palace immediately. There must be no delay!"

"Oh? Father is looking for me?" Dai Weisi asked. "Did he say what it was about?"

"A senior who calls himself Dugu Bo has specifically requested to see the First Prince!"

"Dugu Bo?" The corners of Dai Weisi's lips lifted in a faint smile. So Dugu Bo has finally come to find me.

"What? Dugu Bo!" Li Hu's expression changed drastically upon hearing that Dugu Bo had arrived. He warned, "First Prince, Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo. His poison arts are unmatched beneath the heavens, and he is known as the most dangerous Titled Douluo.

Although people say he is the weakest among the Titled Douluo, he can reduce any force to nothing but its Titled Douluo. He must not be underestimated! First Prince, you must be extremely careful when meeting him."

"Don't worry. With my father and mother here, as well as Grandfather and Grandmother, Dugu Bo won't harm me. Besides, I've already guessed why he has come."

Dai Weisi explained with a smile, reassuring Li Hu. He then had Anna rest at home alone while he headed to the Imperial Palace with Li Hu.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Palace, Dai Weisi saw his grandfather and grandmother, as well as his father and mother. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Grandfather, Grandmother, Emperor, Mom!"

He then looked toward the elderly man standing beside his grandfather. The moment he saw the man's Dark Green hair, Dai Weisi realized that he was the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.

After all, was there anyone else on the entire Douluo Continent with green hair?

"Greetings, Titled Douluo Dugu Bo."

"Oh? Boy, have you met this old man before?" Dugu Bo looked surprised. He had originally planned to have Dai Tianxing introduce him, but Dai Weisi had recognized him at a glance.

"No," Dai Weisi shook his head. "It was simply that your Dark Green eyes reminded me of Dugu Yan. Then I heard the servants say that Senior Poison Douluo was looking for me, and you also have green hair that looks extremely poisonous. So I guessed that you must be Senior Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."

"Hehehe, as expected of the one who defeated my granddaughter seven against one. You do have some cleverness. And your talent isn't bad either. At twenty, you've already reached Level 48..."

Boom!

Suddenly, Dugu Bo unleashed a terrifying Soul Pressure that slammed toward Dai Weisi head-on. Dai Weisi let out a muffled groan as the immense pressure bore down on him like Mount Tai, leaving him unable to breathe.

"Old Poison!"

The instant Dugu Bo released his Soul Pressure, two other surges of Soul Power, no weaker than his own, erupted and bore down on him.

Yet Dugu Bo merely smiled, completely unconcerned. Without using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, even Dai Tianxing and Zhu Lingyun together were no match for him.

At that moment, Zhu Lingyun suddenly shouted domineeringly, "Old Poison, you said you wouldn't harm my grandson! Don't you dare go back on your word, or I'll stake my life on making sure you don't leave this Imperial Palace alive!"

"Hahaha, Zhu Lingyun, there's no need to be nervous. I merely heard from my granddaughter that this boy's Fourth Soul Ring is at the ten-thousand-year level. I didn't quite believe it at first, so I wanted to test him."

"What?"

Zhu Lingyun was startled and hurriedly turned toward Dai Weisi. Sure enough, under Dugu Bo's Soul Pressure, Dai Weisi had no choice but to release his Martial Soul to resist. The pitch-black Fourth Soul Ring beneath his feet was especially conspicuous.

"How can this be? It really is a Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring!" Zhu Lingyun exclaimed. For years, she had remained in seclusion, seeking to become a Titled Douluo.

Unless the Star Luo Empire faced a life-or-death crisis, she would never leave seclusion. Thus, she had not known that Dai Weisi's Fourth Soul Ring was at the ten-thousand-year level.

"That's right, old woman. Our grandson is a genius."

"Weisi, you're incredible!" Zhu Lingyun walked over to Dai Weisi and gently stroked his face, just as she had when he was little.

Smiling at her eldest grandson with a face full of gratification, she said, "Weisi, I believe you'll definitely become a Titled Douluo! Grandmother would even dare say that Titled Douluo will never be your endpoint."

"Hehe, thank you for the praise, Grandmother! I believe you and Grandfather will become Titled Douluo as well!" Dai Weisi said with a smile. Once we reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I must find a few Immortal Herbs and give them to Grandfather and Grandmother.

They were both Peak Level 89 Soul Douluo, only one step away from crossing into the threshold of Titled Douluo.

If they both became Titled Douluo, then within a few years, the Star Luo Empire would be able to completely annex Heaven Dou.

"Hehe, good child! Grandmother didn't spoil you for nothing when you were young!"

"Ahem." Dugu Bo cleared his throat and said, "Miss Lingyun, could you allow this old man to speak with your grandson alone for a moment?"

"Old Poison, what could you possibly have to say that can't be said here?" Zhu Lingyun pulled Dai Weisi protectively into her arms, afraid that Dugu Bo would bully her grandson.

Dai Weisi hurriedly said, "Grandmother, Senior Poison Douluo must have something difficult to say if he came looking for me. Let me speak with him for a few moments."

"But..." Though she said that, Zhu Lingyun still hesitated.

"Don't worry, Grandmother. With you and Grandfather here, I'm sure Senior Poison Douluo won't harm me."

"Ah, fine."

Zhu Lingyun released Dai Weisi, while shooting Dugu Bo a vicious glare, as if to say, "If you dare lay a hand on my eldest grandson, I'll fight you to the death."

"Don't worry. I'm not so low as to bully a junior. Boy from the Dai Family, come with me."

"Yes, Senior."

With that, Dai Weisi followed Dugu Bo to a side chamber within the Imperial Palace. The place was completely empty. Once they arrived, Dugu Bo suddenly said, "Junior, do you know why I came to find you this time?"

"To cure Miss Dugu Yan's poison—and also to cure your poison, Senior!"

"You saw through it?!"
