Zhao Wuji: You've Provoked a Hard Target!

As Dugu Yan absorbed the Jade Phosphorous Dragon Transformation Pill.

Dugu Bo came to Lu Chen's side and spoke slowly, "What do you think of this old man's treasure?"

Thinking that Dugu Bo was referring to the Ice Fire Two Elements Spring, Lu Chen replied, "It's excellent."

"Want it?"

Lu Chen did not hesitate at all. "I do!"

Dugu Bo draped an arm around Lu Chen's shoulder and said, "Then from now on, you are this old man's grandson-in-law!"

"Ah?"

Lu Chen was full of confusion before he realized what was happening.

He hurriedly explained, "Senior Dugu, don't joke around. I thought you were talking about the Ice Fire Two Elements Spring."

Dugu Bo chuckled. "Is there a difference? Once you marry my granddaughter, won't this Ice Fire Two Elements Spring belong to you two eventually?"

Lu Chen explained, "Senior, you know that I already have Xiao Wu and Zhuqing."

Dugu Bo did not care in the slightest.

Just then, the soul power around Dugu Yan suddenly soared.

Dazzling green light spread out like a tide as a phantom of an emerald-green python flew into the air.

Amidst a dragon roar, the body of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent suddenly elongated, its scales bulging as it transformed into a giant dragon covered in emerald-green scales.

However, because Dugu Yan had not yet condensed a poison pill, her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had only evolved into a Jade Phosphorous Corrosive Dragon.

But once Dugu Yan became a Soul Sage, she would condense her poison pill, and her Martial Soul would evolve into the Jade Phosphorous Corrosive Emperor!

Feeling the changes in her Martial Soul and body, Dugu Yan's face was full of joy.

The curse that had entangled the Dugu family had disappeared completely from this moment on.

Dugu Yan turned to look at Lu Chen, pounced on him, and sat her soft buttocks on him. She kept her knees bent, bracing them against his sides, and placed her hands on Lu Chen's shoulders.

Her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness. "Lu Chen, how do you want me to repay you?"

Lu Chen tried to seek help from Dugu Bo, only to see a smile appear on the old man's face before he vanished directly into the Ice Fire Two Elements Spring.

"Hey! Dugu Bo, you—"

Before Lu Chen could finish, Dugu Yan had already kissed him.

Feeling the moisture in his mouth, Lu Chen's pupils dilated. A faint fragrance entered his nose, causing a surge of restlessness within his body.

After a long while, Dugu Yan's breathing grew heavy, and she finally separated from Lu Chen with great reluctance.

"Cough, cough!"

Just then, Dugu Bo happened to appear: "When it comes to romance, don't you fall in love as you 'talk'?"

Dugu Yan hurriedly moved away from Lu Chen, flustered as she straightened her disheveled clothes.

Three days later, Dugu Bo brought Lu Chen and Dugu Yan to a small town around the Star Dou Great Forest.

After taking the pill, Dugu Yan's soul power had risen to level 40.

Thus, Dugu Bo brought Lu Chen and Dugu Yan to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a soul ring!

Dugu Yan wound around Lu Chen like a docile little snake, clutching his arm and refusing to let go.

Dugu Bo was happy to see the relationship between Dugu Yan and Lu Chen become so intimate; he kept a low profile throughout the journey.

The three arrived at a seemingly ordinary hotel.

Lu Chen and the others sat at a table in the lobby, while Dugu Bo sat there with his eyes closed, resting.

Dugu Yan hugged Lu Chen's arm with her right arm and asked, "Lu Chen, what do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine!"

Lu Chen desperately wanted to pull his arm away, but the two mounds of soft warmth in front of Dugu Yan were pressed tightly against it.

Any slight movement would cause a strange sensation, so he had to remain frozen in place.

Dugu Yan called the waiter and quickly ordered seven or eight dishes.

She then turned to discuss the choice of her fourth soul ring with Lu Chen.

When the first dish arrived, the hotel door was pushed open with a creak, and a group of people walked in.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a very ordinary appearance; he was not tall, but he possessed a robust set of muscles.

Lu Chen happened to recognize two of the people following the middle-aged man.

Tang San and Dai Mubai—he had actually run into people from Shrek here!

Looking at the middle-aged man, Lu Chen thought to himself, "It seems this is the Immovable Ming King, Zhao Wuji!"

Behind Tang San and Dai Mubai was a lecherous, chubby Ma Hongjun with a small mustache, followed by the peach-blossom-eyed youth, Oscar.

Lastly was a maiden with exquisite features and a hint of nobility between her brows; she was naturally Ning Rongrong.

When Tang San and Dai Mubai walked into the hotel, they also noticed Lu Chen.

Tang San and Dai Mubai frowned, their footsteps halting at the door.

Ma Hongjun noticed their strange behavior and followed their gaze to see Lu Chen's group. When he saw Dugu Yan, his small eyes instantly brightened.

"That girl looks pretty good. Eldest Boss, Tang San, you guys aren't interested in her, are you?" Ma Hongjun stared nakedly at Dugu Yan with his small eyes.

A trace of disgust flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes, and her tone carried a warning: "Don't speak nonsense, be careful of causing trouble."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Ma Hongjun didn't care at all. "This is part of our training. Dean Flender said that a soul master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good soul master!"

Lu Chen's gaze turned icy. Dugu Yan was, in a sense, his woman; he would not tolerate a grass chicken barking wildly here!

Lu Chen slapped the table, and four bamboo chopsticks sprang up, wrapped in scarlet-as-blood Asura Sword Intent, and shot out like four shadows!

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Four muffled sounds rang out in succession as the chopsticks accurately pierced Ma Hongjun's hands and feet, pinning him deeply into the wall behind him.

"Ah—!"

Blood gushed from the wounds, accompanied by Ma Hongjun's screams.

Zhao Wuji stared at Lu Chen with an ugly expression and said angrily, "Kid! Isn't this too much? You're acting out and hurting people over a single sentence?"

"Zhao Wuji, it seems you haven't taught your students the principle that disaster comes from the mouth!"

Lu Chen said coldly, "Then I can only teach them myself!"

"Teacher Zhao, Eldest Boss, you must avenge me!"

Ma Hongjun was supported by Oscar as he leaned against the wall, wailing.

"Kid, which academy are you from?"

As Zhao Wuji spoke, his soul power suddenly erupted, releasing the pressure of a Soul Sage toward Lu Chen.

Lu Chen remained calm and composed under Zhao Wuji's pressure, saying coldly, "Heaven Dou Royal Academy! Lu Chen!"

Just then, Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes, and the pressure of a Title Douluo crushed down on Zhao Wuji like an invisible mountain range.

"Thump!"

Zhao Wuji collapsed directly to the ground, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, his eyes full of fear!

"Such a big mouth!"

Dugu Bo's words landed in Zhao Wuji's ears, and his heart turned cold instantly: he had provoked a hard target!

Zhao Wuji immediately begged for mercy, "It is this junior who failed to recognize Mount Tai. I beg Senior to spare this junior's life!"

"Hmph!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly and waved his hand, sending two rays of green light shooting into Zhao Wuji's body and Ma Hongjun's crotch.

"Ah!"

Ma Hongjun let out another scream and fainted completely, blood seeping from his crotch and staining his pants red.

"Get out!"

Dugu Bo roared.

Zhao Wuji immediately grabbed the unconscious Ma Hongjun and fled the hotel in a panic with the rest of the Shrek group.

At the door, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but look back at Lu Chen, her heart full of curiosity: the strength of this youth, who was of a similar age to her, seemed truly formidable...
