External Soul Bone Drop!

As Chen Lang took Poison Douluo's place and voluntarily entered the black hole, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger vanished from where it stood as well, sucked into the black hole alongside Chen Lang.

"Little Chen!"

Seeing this, Poison Douluo let out a heart-wrenching cry, his eyes instantly reddening.

He had never expected Chen Lang to block that attack for him and willingly enter the black hole.

"Fuck you, Dugu Bo! Are you even a man? You actually made a child take an attack for you?!"

Bone Douluo rushed over, grabbed Dugu Bo by the collar, and lifted him up before sending him flying with a punch.

Bang!

Dugu Bo did not resist. He crashed into a tree, then slumped onto the ground as though paralyzed, his heart filled with endless remorse and self-blame.

Especially when he recalled Chen Lang's resolute gaze as he entered the black hole in his place, guilt made him want to scream, yet he could not make a sound.

"Dugu Bo, you'd better pray that my god-grandson is all right. Otherwise, you'll pay with your life!" Bone Douluo swept his gaze over Dugu Bo and said coldly.

"Don't worry. If anything happens to Little Chen, I'll kill that beast even if it costs me this old life, then die to atone for my sins!" Poison Douluo slowly rose to his feet, his sinister eyes eerily calm.

Yet his heart remained filled with self-reproach and guilt.

If something happened to Chen Lang, he would have no face left, much less the courage to face Sword Douluo.

"I advise you to pray that my god-grandson will be all right!"

Bone Douluo shot Poison Douluo a glance, then took out a pipe and sat off to the side smoking, his brows tightly furrowed.

After Chen Lang entered the black hole.

Everything around him sank into darkness. Chen Lang could feel a force constantly trying to weaken him, but it was all rendered ineffective.

"Just as I thought, I can negate it. This makes things easy..."

The corners of Chen Lang's lips lifted slightly. The reason he had dared to block the attack for Poison Douluo and even enter the black hole voluntarily was because he relied on the Veil of Divine Blessing's ability to negate all control effects.

Especially after seeing that he could even negate the black hole's suction, Chen Lang became even more certain that he could negate this skill!

Suddenly, the surroundings lit up, and the sensation of solid ground beneath his feet returned. Chen Lang found himself in a peculiar space, just like the one in the original story.

It resembled an enormous arena. It looked circular, yet stretched endlessly into the distance. There were no clouds, sun, or stars in the sky—only boundless darkness.

The light came from the arena itself.

At that moment, he saw the shrunken Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as well.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stood thirty meters in front of Tang San, staring at him. Its tiger eyes were filled with shock as it stared incredulously at Chen Lang, who had not shrunk.

However, in its shrunken form, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger looked exceptionally adorable with that expression, carrying no threat whatsoever.

Just then.

A strange voice rang out from all directions.

Welcome to the Life and Death Arena. This battle of life and death can end only when one side dies, allowing the survivor to leave this space. Countdown: five, four, three, two, one. Begin.

"Little kitty, didn't expect this, did you?"

Chen Lang revealed an evil smile. At that moment, he seemed more like the true villain as he gazed sinisterly at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Awoo~"

At that moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wanted to die.

How the hell was this supposed to work?!

It had shrunk, while its opponent was completely unaffected!

The next second, sword light flashed. There was no surprise at all—level sixty Chen Lang fighting a juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was an instant kill.

As the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger died, everything around him began to twist. The entire space shattered in an instant, and endless darkness swept over him once more.

Light burst forth. His body suddenly felt light, and when his feet touched solid ground again, Chen Lang had returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Little Chen!"

When Poison Douluo saw Chen Lang reappear, delight filled his eyes. He immediately rushed over, looked Chen Lang over from head to toe, and asked, "You aren't hurt, are you, Little Chen?"

"My god-grandson, are you all right?" Bone Douluo rushed over as well, hurriedly checking Chen Lang for injuries.

"Wasn't it just a mere sixty-thousand-year soul beast?"

Chen Lang raised a brow and smiled. "Easy work."

"You brat!"

Bone Douluo finally relaxed. He slapped the back of Chen Lang's head. "If something like this happens again, don't drag me into it."

"Otherwise, if your grandfather finds out that I threw you over there, he'll hack me half to death."

"I only did it because I saw that Grandpa Poison was in danger, and I happened to have a skill that could counter its skill."

Chen Lang nodded. "Otherwise, if Grandpa Poison came out with me and ended up dying here, how would I explain that to his granddaughter?"

Hearing Chen Lang's words, Poison Douluo was deeply moved. "Little Chen, you were the one who saved this life of mine. If I died, then I died. But you're still young, and your talent defies the heavens. If you died, I'd have to live the rest of my life consumed by guilt."

"So if something like this happens again, don't do anything so foolish, all right?"

Though Poison Douluo said that, at this moment, he had already begun to regard Chen Lang as his own grandson. His eyes were full of emotion and relief.

At that moment, he also understood why Sword Douluo would go so far for Chen Lang.

Thinking of this, Poison Douluo could not help but entertain a thought. Should I challenge a Titled Douluo above level ninety as well? Otherwise, if something like this happens again, I won't be so helpless, much less make a junior risk his life to save me.

Besides, at my current strength, I'm the weakest among Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo. That's truly embarrassing.

No! I need to get stronger too. I need to start grinding too!

For a grandfather to be saved by his grandson—damn, that's humiliating. I, Dugu Bo, never want to be this humiliated again in my life!

Chen Lang had never expected that his unintentional act would make Poison Douluo start grinding as well.

He had also never expected that when Bone Douluo saw Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo working so hard and grinding so fiercely, he would begin grinding too.

For a time, the Titled Douluo who had once gone unchallenged were visited one after another by challengers. The entire Douluo Continent was thrown into panic, with people thinking the Upper Three Sects were about to go to war.

Of course, that was a story for later.

"Is this an External Soul Bone?!"

Just as Chen Lang was about to absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring, he suddenly discovered that it had also dropped a pair of black wings!

"It really is an External Soul Bone!"

Poison Douluo and Bone Douluo also came over. After examining it, they immediately revealed envious expressions.

After all, External Soul Bones were even rarer and more precious than ordinary soul bones!
