Lan Minghua: Become Stronger by Taking Disciples

Lan Minghua, a young man in his early twenties, felt awkward being recognized as an adoptive son by Dugu Bo, who was in his sixties.

"Adoptive father? I'm not older than you. Just call me Huazi!"

Dugu Bo didn't get up upon hearing this, still kneeling on the ground.

This kneeling was not for himself, but for Dugu Yan.

He didn't want his granddaughter to suffer so much hardship in the future, and he would do anything for it.

As long as Dugu Yan was not affected by the poison, he would not hesitate to recognize someone younger than himself as an adoptive father.

"No, if you don't agree, I won't get up."

Lan Minghua rubbed his stubble, feeling helpless. Suddenly, he thought of something.

"System, show me Dugu Bo's talent score."

[Name: Dugu Bo.]

[Spirit: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.]

[Soul Power: Level 92.]

[Talent Score: 85.]

Lan Minghua had predicted Dugu Bo's System Talent Score to be around the high 80s.

He just didn't expect it to be 85.

Even among the Shrek Seven Devils, his talent was considered good.

How could someone who became a Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent Season 1 have poor talent?

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, without the help of Immortal Herbs, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and others would most likely not be able to become Titled Douluo.

Dugu Bo became a Titled Douluo step by step through his own efforts.

Although he was called the weakest Titled Douluo, he was still a Titled Douluo.

And his single-target attack was just relatively weak.

In a one-on-one fight, he was indeed no match for other Titled Douluo, but he could leave other forces with only Titled Douluo remaining.

Therefore, Dugu Bo's talent was not weak and met the standard for taking disciples.

Lan Minghua coughed lightly and asked, "I'll give you a chance. Become my disciple, and I'll teach you the Pill Toxin Method."

Being an adoptive father to an old man made him uncomfortable, but being his master didn't.

After all, the elder is respected.

Dugu Bo rejoiced and, without hesitation, bowed his head: "Disciple, greetings, Master!"

Lan Minghua walked up to him, placed his hand on his head, and directly infused the Pill Toxin Method into him.

Vast amounts of information appeared in Dugu Bo's mind, and he quickly closed his eyes to sense it carefully.

He had never seen the profoundness of the Pill Toxin Method in his life.

He never expected poison could be controlled like this.

Lan Minghua watched quietly, letting him digest it properly.

After a long time, Dugu Bo had memorized all the details of the Pill Toxin Method and finally opened his eyes with satisfaction.

This time, he sincerely called out to Lan Minghua from the bottom of his heart: "Master!"

Lan Minghua nodded. Seeing the indescribable expression on his face, he understood what he was thinking.

Dugu Bo also knew its preciousness and dared not reveal it easily.

After all, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill was used from Douluo Continent Season 1 all the way to Season 5.

Furthermore, the Pill Toxin Method was only helpful to soul masters who used poison in combat, and it was not as helpful to other soul masters.

Lan Minghua was not a stingy person and knew even better that Dugu Bo wanted to pave the way for someone.

"What I've passed on to you, you cannot pass on randomly. However, you can pass it down to your family as an inheritance. If your clan members leak it to outsiders, you know what to do, right?"

He had already made the greatest concession, allowing Dugu Bo to pass down the Pill Toxin Method as a secret family technique.

But if it were passed to someone outside the family, that would be a bit too presumptuous.

Dugu Bo was so grateful that tears streamed down his face. He promised: "Master, rest assured, if I pass it to someone outside the family, I will personally kill them and then commit suicide to atone for my sins!"

"Alright, what's with all the crying like a grown man? Hurry up and sit down to cultivate the Pill Toxin Method. I'll guard you."

Since he had become his disciple, he naturally had to be responsible to the end.

Dugu Bo did not act coy. He sat cross-legged and, according to the Pill Toxin Method, condensed the toxins in his body into a Poison Pill in his dantian.

One day and one night passed, and Dugu Bo finally condensed the toxins in his body into a Poison Pill.

Not only did it not weaken his Poisonous Skill, but it actually made him stronger.

He felt his skill in using poison had reached a new level.

The moment he stood up, his long-stagnant soul power broke through.

Successfully broke through from Level 92 to Level 93!

This is normal, accumulating strength for a breakthrough.

Dugu Bo stepped forward and respectfully said, "Master, I'd like to host you. Would you be willing to stay for a few days?"

"That's fine, I'll stay here for a few days."

Lan Minghua was very pleased. A Titled Douluo was much wealthier than Flender.

He wasn't in a hurry to return, as he was planning to let Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing break through to Level 30 before using the Immortal Herbs on them.

After all, Immortal Herbs could increase soul power without side effects, allowing them to far surpass Tang San in a short period.

At Shrek Academy, while Lan Minghua was away, Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing were trained together by Flender.

During this time, Oscar saw Ning Rongrong's true colors as a little devil, and his infatuation with her vanished.

Moreover, with Zhu Zhuqing by his side, he knew what a good woman was.

The next day, Flender took Oscar and the others to the Suo Tuo Great Soul Arena for soul duels.

As expected, Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing formed a team, called the Oscar-Zhu Combination.

Coincidentally, today they met the Sanwu Combination, which was Tang San and Xiao Wu's team, in the doubles match.

Tang San's eyes were sinister. He had finally found an opportunity to openly attack Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

Normally, if he attacked rashly, it might expose his identity.

So Tang San had been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to openly attack Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

And the Great Soul Arena was such a stage. If they got injured, they could only blame their lack of skill.

Even if Lan Minghua returned, he would have no reason to attack him.

"Tang San, kill this pair of dogs for me!"

Dai Mubai was furious, his mind clouded by rage.

He had no regrets about his womanizing and had never considered Zhu Zhuqing.

Now that Zhu Zhuqing hadn't fallen into someone else's arms yet, why was he so angry?

Tang San nodded. He also wanted revenge for his father.

Since he was no match for Lan Minghua, he would first set his sights on Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

Dai Mubai still thought Tang San was his good buddy, so loyal.

Unbeknownst to him, he was merely a scapegoat after Tang San's exposure.

Both of them stared grimly at Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, already calculating how to deal with them.

"Zhuqing, our opponents are Tang San and Xiao Wu. Do you know anything about them?"

Oscar had little contact with Tang San and had no idea about his strength.

Zhu Zhuqing had some understanding of Tang San and Xiao Wu when she enrolled.

"Tang San and Xiao Wu are both level twenty-nine Soul Grand Masters like us. Moreover, Tang San has Twin Martial Souls and knows Hidden Weapons."

Zhu Zhuqing shared the intelligence with Oscar in a cool, clear voice, and Oscar listened attentively.

This intimate gesture almost made Dai Mubai explode.

Just then, the announcer's voice echoed through the fighting arena.

"This match, a two-on-two soul battle, is between the Sanwu Combination and the Oscar-Zhu Combination.

Both teams are participating in a two-on-two soul battle for the first time. What kind of sparks will they create?

Let's wait and see!"

After both teams entered the arena, the announcer's sonorous voice sounded again.

"I announce that the two-on-two soul battle between the Sanwu Combination and the Oscar-Zhu Combination has begun!"

Sanwu Combination vs. Oscar-Zhu Combination, begin!
