I Transmigrated into Douluo and Split into Five People

An Lan: "..."

An Lan did not dare take her attacks head-on. Angel Spirit Power came with purification abilities, and every move carried an extremely powerful suppressive effect against its target. Purely physical attacks were easier to deal with.

However, An Lan had yet to master any effective physical attacks, and some of his planned methods had not yet been successfully developed. Still, judging by Qian Renxue's speed, she did not seem to fly as fast as he could.

The flames of the "Energy Gathering Ring" surged again. An Lan spread his wings and cast down a sea of fire, instantly blocking Qian Renxue's vision. Qian Renxue gave a soft shout, and a transparent energy shield appeared around her body, covering every angle without a blind spot.

Third Spirit Skill: Angel's Blessing.

As the sea of flames dispersed, An Lan was nowhere to be seen. Looking up, she saw a massive cavalry lance made entirely of flames descending from even higher above. The "Energy Gathering Ring" was tightly locked around its tip, sending out wave after wave of air currents.

"Is that really a spirit skill a hundred-year Spirit Ring can produce?"

Qian Renxue was surprised, but not the least bit afraid. She used her First Spirit Skill again, gathering dense Soul Power around her fist as she prepared to take the attack head-on.

This girl...

The old father sighed inwardly. An Lan suddenly appeared behind her, raised a finger, and poked her in the back.

"You lost."

"?"

Qian Renxue turned around, her face full of question marks. An Lan waved his hand, dispersing the Flame Cavalry Lance above them. It had only been for show. He repeated himself.

"If I had a sword or blade in my hand, you'd already be dead! So I won."

Her cheeks puffed out, and she looked extremely angry, but Qian Renxue could accept a loss. Since she had lost, she had lost.

"Fine! What condition do you have?"

"Hehehe. I want you to..."

An Lan deliberately kept her in suspense. Qian Xunji's expression gradually darkened, only for him to hear the rest of the sentence.

"Call me Brother Lan! From now on, you'll be Little Xue!"

"No way! I don't accept this!"

She had finally gotten herself a little brother to play with. How could she give up just like that?

"Let's do it again!"

"No! The winner takes all. Since you lost, you have to listen obediently. We can fight again, but only once a day... no, once a month! The loser still has to agree to one condition. How about it?"

It would not be so easy to beat Qian Renxue again in a short time. Once a month was best.

Her pouting lips could have held a soy sauce bottle, and she was utterly dissatisfied. Still, she was straightforward and agreed to An Lan's proposal.

"Fine! Next month, I'll definitely make you call me big sister again."

"Now that we're done, do you still want to go out and play? I found a place with really nice scenery."

Qian Renxue cheered with delight. She had long grown tired of the Small Garden.

"Let's go, let's go."

The two flew out of Spirit City from behind the Pope's Palace, one after the other. Qian Xunji signaled for the guards to follow them. He himself went to see Bibi Dong, to check how her "reflection" had been going lately.

"Teacher, this student knows her mistake."

For the sake of the greater plan, Bibi Dong chose to yield. She used murderous intent affecting her mind as an excuse. Looking at his disciple so meek and submissive in her casual clothes, Qian Xunji suddenly felt tempted. Perhaps it would not be bad to give Little Xue a younger brother or sister.

As his raised hand landed on her shoulder, Bibi Dong lowered her head, a fierce light appearing in her eyes. What happened in the secret chamber had been forced upon her. Now that Xiao Gang had escaped, if he wanted her to submit to him again, she would rather die.

"Teacher! Please, have some self-respect."

"Cough."

Qian Xunji came to his senses and withdrew his hand.

"Since you have admitted your mistake, tomorrow I will have Yue Guan and Gui Mei accompany you to hunt for a new Spirit Ring."

Dugu Residence.

Dugu Bo personally awakened his granddaughter's Martial Soul. He was hopeful, but also worried. If Dugu Yan awakened another Martial Soul, perhaps she would not have to follow his old path. But if she awakened another Martial Soul, then his inheritance would disappear.

He was torn between the two.

"Grandpa, what are you doing? Hurry up?"

Seeing Dugu Bo standing there without saying anything, Dugu Yan, who had been waiting for some time, was baffled and shouted loudly.

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

He tossed out the Awakening Stone. Dugu Bo made his final decision in his heart. He hoped his granddaughter would awaken another Martial Soul rather than the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. If the inheritance of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor disappeared, then so be it.

Old Man, See If My Ghost Fire Looks Cool

The awakening result shattered Dugu Bo's hopes.

Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Innate Soul Power Level Seven.

(With more than twenty Soul Ancestors, this level should be acceptable.)

"Alas..."

Dugu Bo sighed as he stroked Dugu Yan's little head. The tragic deaths of his son and daughter-in-law were still vivid in his mind.

"Grandpa, why aren't you happy? I awakened the Jade Phosphorous Serpent! In the future, I can become a Title Douluo just like you!"

Still ignorant of her own condition, Dugu Yan was delighted that she had awakened the Dugu family's Martial Soul.

Suddenly, someone came to report.

"Master, Sect Leader Ning has arrived."

Remembering the invitation the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had sent a few days ago, Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled.

I usually keep out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's affairs. What does Ning Fengzhi want?

Forget it. I can't afford to offend those two, Sword and Bone.

"Show them in."

He did not think much of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect itself, but either one of Sword and Bone could easily crush him. That was no longer a matter of whether he looked down on them or not.

He turned and headed for the reception hall, ordering someone to take Dugu Yan away. Dugu Yan refused.

"Grandpa, I want to go with you."

"Fine, fine, come with Grandpa."

Reception hall.

Gu Rong sat carelessly in a grand chair without moving, while Ning Fengzhi rose to greet him.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Dugu."

Dugu Bo glanced at Gu Rong, the corner of his eye twitching. This guy is sitting around like he owns the place, even though this is my territory.

"No need for formalities. I'm in a poor mood today. Sect Leader Ning, if you have something important to say, just say it."

In a poor mood?

Could it be that this girl's awakening had gone badly?

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the little girl clinging to Dugu Bo's leg and curiously looking at the three of them, then turned to look at Ning Yulin. Just as he was about to speak, Ning Yulin stepped forward himself.

"Greetings, Senior. Actually, it is this junior who has come to seek you out. My father has no business with you."

Ning Fengzhi's son?

What could a little brat like this possibly want from me?

For Gu Rong's "sake," Dugu Bo suppressed his impatience.

"Speak."

"This junior greatly admires Miss Dugu. I came today to propose marriage."

Although Dugu Yan was young, she was not ignorant of what proposing marriage meant.

"Hey, where did you little brat come from? What admiration? I've never even seen you before."

Dugu Bo was jolted awake by his granddaughter's voice. He never expected Ning Fengzhi to come to his door over something like this. His expression darkened as he called outside and had someone take Dugu Yan away.

Only then did he look at Ning Yulin and the other two.

"Sect Leader Ning, if this is the matter, then the three of you should leave. Yanyan is untalented and plain-looking. I'm afraid she is not worthy of the great Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Since this involved Dugu Yan, even if Sword and Bone had both been standing before him today, he would not have shown them any courtesy.

The pressure of Dugu Bo's presence was somewhat overwhelming, but for the future, Ning Yulin could only brace himself and continue.

"Why does Senior say that? This junior has some matters he wishes to discuss with Senior. Could we speak somewhere privately?"

Dugu Bo looked in surprise at this brat, who was not much older than his own granddaughter, and found the situation increasingly baffling. How could a sect leader and a Level Ninety-Five Title Douluo let a little brat speak for them?

He glanced at Ning Fengzhi.

"Please forgive the embarrassment, Your Excellency. This is my sixth son. Today's matter is entirely up to him."

This is truly baffling. It seems it isn't entirely about Yanyan or winning me over.

What exactly are they trying to do?

After hesitating for a long while, he said to Ning Yulin, "Come with me."

Today, he would see just what earth-shattering matter this little brat could possibly have to say.

"Father, Bone Elder, please wait a moment. I'll be back shortly."

Ning Yulin followed Dugu Bo out of the reception hall and stopped in the Small Garden outside. Dugu Bo waited for him to speak.

"Senior's time is precious, so I will keep it brief. Miss Dugu's parents died because poison entered their marrow. She herself has already been poisoned, and her condition is even more serious. As for Senior himself, you are also deeply poisoned at this very moment."

"Impudent. I made my name through poison. How could I possibly be poisoned? Even a snot-nosed child can say such ridiculous things!"

Ning Yulin cut Dugu Bo off, speaking with absolute certainty.

"Senior, don't rush to refute me. Since I said this, I naturally have confidence in it. Beast Spirits absorb Spirit Rings and release spirit skills..."

None of the five could clearly remember Great Buddha Tang's description of Dugu Bo's poisoning, but Ning Yulin could verify Dugu Bo's condition through theories related to Beast Spirits.

Of course, Dugu Bo stubbornly refused to admit it.

This old man is really stubborn!

"Senior!"

Ning Yulin's tone grew more forceful.

"After becoming a Title Douluo, have you ever successfully improved your own condition? Judging from Senior's earlier reaction, Dugu Yan should have awakened the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, correct? She has carried poison since she was in the womb. It has already fused with her bones and blood, forming Innate Poison. Though it is not as potent as Senior's, her condition is far more dangerous than yours."

"Are you confident that she will not suffer a poison outbreak before you find a way to solve her condition?"

These words were undoubtedly telling Dugu Bo that Ning Yulin had a way to solve Dugu Yan's condition.

"Why do you value Yanyan so highly?"

Dugu Bo naturally knew why. Aside from himself being a Title Douluo, what other reason could there be? But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two elders were far stronger than him. Why had they suddenly begun to value him so much?

He knew his own standing very well.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was famous for support, as one of the Upper Three Sects, it had no shortage of capable fighters. It did not need a seemingly powerful Title Douluo like him at all.

"First, she has a Title Douluo grandfather. Second, I think Miss Dugu will become a beauty in the future. Third..."

Ning Yulin spoke with a serious expression.

"This is the guidance of the gods."

Dugu Bo: "..." Did this brat really think he would believe that?

The old man fell into deep thought. Ever since his son and daughter-in-law died, he had begun researching ways to counter the poison. It was not that he had made no progress, but the results were minimal when it came to Dugu Yan's condition. He did not even dare conduct experiments, fearing that he would only make things worse and hasten Dugu Yan's poison outbreak.

"You have a way to solve Yanyan's condition?"

Hearing this, Ning Yulin let out a sigh of relief. It looked like this was settled.
