Yu Tianheng Hasn't Sent Betrothal Gifts Yet!
It seems that there is only one path facing Yu Tianheng and others: wait for Zhou Qing to publish that theory in the future.
At that time, they will naturally be able to watch it, and even if it is still sold, the price may be reduced to only a hundred Gold Soul Coin.
But how long will that take?
Those who buy the theory first may be more than one step ahead of others, but ten or even a hundred steps ahead!
Moreover, Yu Tianheng had a premonition that the younger the age, the better, if they tried to follow the guidance of that theory. Dean Meng were already over seventy years old, and it was probably too late for them to take a further step with the help of this theory.
"I'm going to find Grandpa!"
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, said something to her mentor Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng, and then ran quickly towards Heaven Dou City.
Seeing that Yu Tianheng and the others were in low spirits, Qin Ming encouraged them, "Alright, everyone, don't be discouraged. The Nuoding Team is strong, but they're not invincible. As long as... as long as..."
Qin Ming couldn't continue speaking.
Given Zhou Qing's strength in breaking through the Soul Douluo level's Soul Pressure, coupled with the formidable abilities of Tang San, Romantina, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and others, Qin Ming suspected that even if Nuoding Team faced a team composed entirely of Soul King, they would still have a chance to win.
But so what?
Imperial Fighting Team Two must regroup and fight back!
After three years of training, the Imperial Fighting Team Two's team battle strength has become comparable to that of the Imperial Fighting Team One. In the upcoming Continental Elite Tournament, they are very likely to achieve a top-five finish.
Five more years!
With their talent, these members are all destined to break through to the Soul Ancestor level, and Yu Tianheng even has a chance to reach the Soul King realm, making a run for the top three...
···
Dugu Estate.
This is the business that Poison Douluo established within Heaven Dou City, located in a relatively remote area on the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.
Poison is always something to be feared.
Dugu Yan entered the manor and found Dugu Bo tending to the herbs he was planting in the courtyard.
"Yanyan is back."
Dugu Bo sensed the familiar Soul Power fluctuations behind him, put down the gourd ladle he was using to scoop water, stood up, and pulled Dugu Yan into his arms, saying, "Let Grandpa hug you!"
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan broke free, somewhat disgusted. "How old am I? I'm not a child anymore."
"Grandpa is very sad." Dugu Bo helplessly, but this was not because he doted on Dugu Yan, but because he was worried that she would leave him first.
After all, Dugu Yan was different from him. Like her father, she was affected by the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent while she was in the womb... He was afraid that the venom in her body would suddenly erupt one day and leave him.
However, for some reason, he noticed that Dugu Yan's eyes were much clearer, and even her deep purple hair seemed to have faded a little.
This is--
Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, but before he could ask anything, he heard Dugu Yan ask him for money, and she asked for 2 billion Gold Soul Coin right off the bat.
"Two billion Gold Soul Coin!"
Dugu Bo's voice, already hoarse from age, became even hoarser. "You think your grandfather stole your money?"
Although he is Titled Douluo, and although some of his wealth was indeed stolen from other reckless Soul Master when he was young, can he still steal now? And who can he steal from?
Besides, no matter how hard you try to snatch, you can't beat your own granddaughter!
He asked for two billion right off the bat!
It's still Gold Soul Coin!
"That brat Yu Tianheng made you do this? What a fine lad! You're not even married yet, and you're already asking for a dowry?"
Dugu Bo was furious, feeling that Yu Tianheng had truly inherited the domineering nature of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan —the betrothal gifts hadn't even been presented yet!
However, if you really want to give me two billion, that's fine too.
As long as that brat Yu Tianheng marries into the Dugu Family, that's all that matters!
But is that even possible?
Dugu Bo was also aware of Yu Tianheng's talent. At such a young age, he had already reached level thirty-eight. In the future, around the age of fifty, he would very likely break through to the level of Titled Douluo and take over the position of patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Grandpa, what are you saying?"
Dugu Yan blushed and then began to talk about the "Soul Ring Secondary Refinement Theory", the Qi Field Power, and how Tang San of the Nuoding Team had broken through the Jade Phosphor Violet Poison during the battle.
"Your First Spirit Ring is a thousand years old? You're not kidding?"
Dugu Bo frowned, suspecting it might be a skill involving disguising the color of Soul Ring. However, seeing Dugu Yan's confident assertion, and noticing her clearer eyes than usual, coupled with the fact that the Three Education Commissioners of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy — First Prince Xue Qinghe and Salas of the Martial Soul Hall —had all spent two billion to purchase the theory about Qi Field Power ...
So perhaps Nuoding Team really is something special.
But could someone of purely commoner background possibly have the ability to research and develop such Martial Soul Cultivation Theory that even the Spirit Hall couldn't create?
More importantly—
Dugu Bo now wants to know if Tang San, who neutralized Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Violet Poison and removed some of the toxins from Dugu Yan's body, deduced from his granddaughter's condition that he was also poisoned.
This secret must never be revealed!
Upon realizing this, Dugu Bo's eyes turned cold, and he said to Dugu Yan, "Yanyan, don't worry, I'll go find Zhou Qing and Tang San from the Nuoding Team, as well as Romantina whose Martial Soul is the Brain, and have a good chat with them."
"Grandfather!"
Before Dugu Yan could react, Dugu Bo had already disappeared from sight.
Dugu Bo, being Titled Douluo, was extremely fast even though he wasn't Agility-Attack System. He arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy immediately, only to find that the Nuoding Team hadn't stayed there; they were reportedly staying at a hotel in Heaven Dou City.
Helpless, he had to go to Heaven Dou City again.
However, Heaven Dou City was the capital, so Dugu Bo dared not make a big fuss and could only go to high-end hotels one by one to inquire, but he had not heard of any Nuoding Team.
Could it be that Nuoding City has some connection with one of the Advanced Academy in Heaven Dou City?
In Dugu Bo's mind, he was either staying at a hotel or inn, or he was staying at an Advanced Academy.
In reality, Zhou Qing and his group were staying at a hotel, but it was one of the cheapest guesthouses in Heaven Dou City, certainly not one of the high-end hotels Dugu Bo had visited...
Back at the hotel, Zhou Qing immediately found the thirty-six students, including Xiaolan, and arranged their upcoming classes.
There are still two weeks until the official start of the Continental Elite Tournament.
During this period, the number of non- Heaven Dou City residents will increase, and nobles from other kingdoms will also gradually arrive to watch the matches...
Therefore, Xiaolan and the others' course involved observing the quality of life of residents, the flow of funds in shops, and the patrols of guards in Heaven Dou City as the number of Soul Master gradually increased during this period. They then compared and analyzed these observations and finally summarized the basic points for managing the city.
"Yes, Teacher Zhou Qing!"
Thirty-six students from Hope Primary School spoke in unison.
Zhou Qing nodded and then gave each person one hundred Gold Soul Coin to cover their course expenses for the next half month, excluding food and lodging.
Although Heaven Dou City is extremely valuable, if you are frugal and spend money wisely, one hundred Gold Soul Coin are enough for a student's expenses for half a month, after deducting food and lodging.
