"I didn't. I'm not. Don't make things up!"
"After some time, once that old fellow Yu Yuanzhen's anger has subsided, prepare some gifts and go apologize in person."
A genuine apology was impossible. As long as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan accepted the gifts, the matter would be considered settled.
"While we're at it, observe that little fellow."
That was Ning Fengzhi's true purpose.
For the sake of an adopted grandson, Yu Yuanzhen had nearly torn apart face with him. It was clear that this little fellow had something extraordinary about him.
With Yu Yuanzhen protecting him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not make a move against Kong. If they extinguished the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's hope, that Old Dragon really would fight them to the death!
Everyone knew that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was suffering from a generational gap.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was facing much the same situation.
Among the younger generation, there was not a single genius capable of reaching the level of Sword and Bone Douluo.
They were equally lacking successors.
As for Ning Rongrong, the most outstanding genius the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had seen in a hundred years, that was secondary.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's direct lineage possessed an auxiliary martial soul with no Battle Power. To remain standing, they had to rely on protectors.
Yet at present, no genius capable of serving as a protector had emerged. Once Sword and Bone Douluo fell, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future would be bleak!
That was why Ning Fengzhi had lamented that he did not have an adopted son like Kong.
With Innate Full Soul Power, barring any accidents, becoming a Titled Douluo in a few decades under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's cultivation was practically guaranteed.
Who would have thought a single sentence would offend Yu Yuanzhen...
"We really should observe this little fellow closely. His Innate Soul Power is definitely more than level ten!"
Chen Xin nodded and said.
Level ten? How long had it even been?
Counting from the day this child's martial soul awakened, at most half a year had passed.
Going from Innate Full Soul Power to the Soul Power fluctuations of a Soul Elder, let alone half a year, even six years might not be enough.
A monster!
The scene shifted to Yu Yuanzhen and Kong.
"Grandpa, that Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin don't look like good people!"
Before Yu Yuanzhen could speak, Kong spoke first.
He knew Yu Yuanzhen would bring this up. After all, such a sudden change in attitude needed an explanation, so the child would not be left confused.
Yu Yuanzhen was slightly taken aback by those words, then laughed. "Kong, those two put on such righteous airs. How could you tell they don't look like good people?"
"The way that old man looked at me was wrong. For an instant, I felt like he wanted to say, 'This child's talent is exceptional. If he cannot be used by me, then he can only...'"
Kong stroked a beard that did not exist, imitating Chen Xin as he spoke.
That made Yu Yuanzhen laugh. He believed that old fellow Chen Xin had definitely said something like that before.
Everyone had done such things before. There was nothing worth hiding.
"Don't worry. As long as Grandpa is alive, they won't dare cross the Thunder Pool by even a single step!"
Yu Yuanzhen declared domineeringly.
Even if Chen Xin had Ning Fengzhi's support, if they truly fought, it was hard to say who would win or lose.
If it came down to fighting for their lives, he could drag either Chen Xin or Gu Rong down to death with him!
To put it plainly, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was being held up by Yu Yuanzhen alone.
As for elders like Yu Luomian, it was already good enough if they did not hold him back.
Kong looked at Yu Yuanzhen, the corner of his mouth twitching as he thought of more than ten years later...
Forget it, better not think about it!
With him around, Yu Yuanzhen definitely would not die.
Suddenly, Kong seemed to think of something and asked Yu Yuanzhen, "Grandpa, do you know Poison Douluo Dugu Bo?"
With Yu Yuanzhen's talent, plus the help of one or two immortal herbs, he might break through to Level 97 or Level 98 in a few years.
Yu Yuanzhen's safety would be even more assured. Even if he was no match for Bibi Dong, dealing with Spirit Hall's ordinary elders should be effortless.
Moreover, once Yu Yuanzhen broke through to Level 98, anyone who dared set their sights on him would have to think carefully.
"Dugu Bo? I know him, but we're not very familiar."
Dugu Bo had no clan or faction behind him. He was considered a "wild" Titled Douluo.
His strength was only Level 91. Yu Yuanzhen did not take such Battle Power seriously at all.
The Dugu Family had once existed, but now only Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan remained.
Everyone else had died.
They had not been killed by anyone else, but poisoned to death by their own poison.
Of course, Yu Yuanzhen did not know that.
"Grandpa, someone told me that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo has a Treasure Land. There are things there that can improve our strength."
Kong spoke with a calm expression, as though someone really had told him about it.
Yet Yu Yuanzhen believed him!
It could not be helped. Kong's background was simply too extraordinary!
The person who told Kong this must have been that deity, right?
Raiden Shogun: "I didn't. I'm not. Don't make things up!"
Baalzebul: "I didn't. I'm not. Don't make things up!"
"Oh? Dugu Bo actually has such good things? Then shall we go rob him now?"
"Ahem, go take them..."
Yu Yuanzhen scratched his head. He had grown too used to robbing people in his youth and had nearly led the child astray.
"Mm, that person also said Dugu Bo has been poisoned. As long as we help him resolve his poison, we should be able to recruit him. Then we can obtain that Treasure Land as well."
Just as expected of you—always talking about robbing people...
Kong wanted to do that too, but after thinking it over, he still decided to help Dugu Bo.
The man was rather pitiful.
"I see."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded without the slightest doubt.
Dugu Bo was, after all, a Titled Douluo. Although he was somewhat weak, he was still a Titled powerhouse. His deterrence was not something several Soul Douluo could compare to.
If they could recruit him, that would be even better.
"Rest for a day. Tomorrow, we'll pay this Bi Lin Douluo a visit."
Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts were simple. If Dugu Bo knew what was good for him, they would proceed as Kong had said.
If Dugu Bo did not know what was good for him, then they could only offend him!
Kong had just said there were things that could improve their strength, not a treasure that could improve Kong's strength alone.
They had not known before, but now that they did, how could they possibly give up?
He truly was a divine son. Just a casual piece of information could benefit even a Super Douluo like him.
Once Kong grew up, perhaps Yu Yuanzhen might even become something like a deity's spokesperson! That would be the greatest benefit of all!
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
The old man and the child walked out of the inn and headed toward Dugu Bo's residence in Heaven Dou City.
Their rest the previous night had not been so simple. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also had people in Heaven Dou City.
They had those people investigate Dugu Bo's residence in advance, so they could go straight to his door the next day.
Today, Dugu Bo had just returned from Sunset Forest...
