Meng Shu: Do You Want to Marry My Granddaughter? (Request Monthly Ticket)

Ye Yurou was brought back to the manor by Lu Duzhou.

Seeing her mother return safely, Ye Lingling excitedly rushed forward to check whether she was injured.

Then she turned around and hugged Lu Duzhou directly.

"Xiao Zhou Didi, thank you!"

"I'll keep my word. From now on, I'll listen to everything you say and be your servant!"

Lu Duzhou quickly patted Ye Lingling's back gently.

"Aunt was put in danger because of me. It was only right that I went to save her."

"Lingling Jie, there's no need for you to repay me. If you really want to repay me, then just focus on your healing work from now on."

Ye Yurou spoke up.

"Lingling, Xiao Zhou saved me. Even if someone has to become his servant to repay him, it should be Mother."

"Don't worry. Xiao Zhou said that we'll live with him from now on. I'll take care of Xiao Zhou and repay his kindness."

Seeing that refusing again would be useless, Lu Duzhou could only nod.

"Then it's settled. Aunt, I'll have to trouble you with the meals from now on. With you managing my diet, I'll be able to eat with greater peace of mind."

Having something to do made Ye Yurou very happy.

With that, the matter was settled.

The movements of the three did not disturb anyone else.

This unexpected incident was treated as though it had never happened.

Early the next morning, Lu Duzhou obtained Dugu Bo's Dan Bead.

This item carried more than half of Dugu Bo's Soul Power cultivation. If it had been anyone else, Dugu Bo would never have dared to hand it over so casually.

But Lu Duzhou was different.

After all, he and Dugu Yan had already agreed on having children.

He was practically a grandson-in-law without the title.

Moreover, Lu Duzhou had said that his research might completely resolve the problem of Martial Soul Poison, so Dugu Bo had to support him.

Lu Duzhou asked him many questions about the condensation of the Dan Bead. Then he went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, found Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and asked about their respective Energy Cores and the processes by which they had condensed them.

Sword Douluo's Energy Core was the Sword Heart. With Sword Qi drawn inward, it was far more advanced than Dugu Bo's Dan Bead.

Bone Douluo, on the other hand, had condensed Soul Fire.

Just as Lu Duzhou had guessed, although the Energy Cores of these two were relatively complete, they were still imperfect. They had merely formed passively and were not Soul Cores in the full sense.

"Why are you asking about this?"

Gu Rong asked doubtfully.

Lu Duzhou smiled.

"After learning about cores from Dugu Bo Your Excellency, I felt that if one could condense a Soul Core in advance, it could increase the chances of breaking through to Title Douluo."

After a pause, he looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him.

"Uncle Ning, according to my judgment, a Soul Core is something every Title Douluo must possess. Only by completing energy convergence can one become a Title Douluo."

"If you can condense a Soul Core, perhaps you can directly break through the shackles and take that step."

"You've been stuck at Level Seventy-Nine for so many years. Your Soul Power has long since accumulated to a considerable degree, and your control should be sufficient as well. Condensing a Soul Core should be feasible."

He needed to rely on Chen Xin and Gu Rong's understanding to help him condense a Soul Core, so he could not possibly hide it from Ning Fengzhi.

He might as well say it openly and do him a favor.

If he truly could help Ning Fengzhi break through the shackles, Lu Duzhou would also gain another successful example for reference.

Upon hearing Lu Duzhou's words, Ning Fengzhi immediately had an idea.

He had given the Immortal Herb to his daughter. He had thought his cultivation would stop there, but unexpectedly, there was a turn for the better and a new path forward.

Whether it succeeded or not, he had to give it a try.

Although Lu Duzhou had not explained much, with Ning Fengzhi's knowledge, he understood that if this theory matured, it would be of tremendous help to Ning Rongrong's cultivation and that of the other younger generation within the sect.

Thus, Ning Fengzhi cooperatively became Lu Duzhou's test subject.

While Lu Duzhou was researching Soul Cores on this side, Yue Guan returned to Spirit Hall to report.

"After a thorough investigation by this subordinate, it has been confirmed that the reason behind Super Theoretical Limit Absorption Soul Ring lies in consuming melted Whale Rubber to improve one's physical constitution."

"The reason for Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolution may have been an exception. Lu Duzhou, Tang San, and the others did not experience any transformation in their Martial Souls."

"Tang Hao is not in Heaven Dou City. His current whereabouts are unknown."

"Additionally, Miss has already made contact with Lu Duzhou and the others. The specific outcome of the negotiations is unknown."

Bibi Dong, dressed in luxurious elegance and exuding an air of lofty authority, nodded upon hearing this.

"Martial Soul Evolution is clearly no simple matter. Being able to learn about Whale Rubber is already good enough."

"Tang Hao is nothing more than a mangy dog by the roadside. There's no need to concern ourselves with him for now."

"You and Gui Mei should prepare yourselves. Set sail in three days and bring back a batch of Whale Rubber over ten thousand years old for Nana and the others to use."

Yue Guan accepted the order and left.

Although Bibi Dong had once again sent him and Gui Mei to work for nothing without giving them any benefits, he planned to keep half the Whale Rubber this time for his excellent student. When he returned, he could also absorb that Immortal Herb.

Furthermore, during this voyage, he could speak with Old Gui at sea and hopefully bring him into the fold as well.

It was not as though they were betraying Spirit Hall. They were merely seeking some benefits for themselves in private.

Given the relationship between him and Gui Mei, who were practically inseparable, he believed persuading Gui Mei would not be difficult.

If he was fortunate enough to obtain a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, he would save it for his student as well.

His student had promised to give his teacher a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. If he himself could not even bear to part with a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, then he would truly be a terrible person.

After Yue Guan left Spirit City, however, storms began gathering in Heaven Dou City.

The matter of Super Theoretical Year Limit Absorption Soul Ring had spread completely. Previously, only top-tier forces such as the Upper Three Sects had known of it, but now even forces at the level of High-Rank Soul Master Academies knew.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Third Ring carried far too much impact for them to ignore.

Nearly every faction sent people to continue gathering information, while some came to pay personal visits.

But Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo after all. Not just anyone was qualified to cross his threshold.

In truth, following Lu Duzhou's wishes, Dugu Bo refused to see guests and would not meet anyone.

That was, until the Covering World Dragon Snake Couple arrived with their granddaughter, Meng Yiran.

Of course, it was not because Lu Duzhou coveted someone else's granddaughter. He already had enough young girls around him.

He felt that Meng Shu was also an excellent test subject for Soul Core experiments.

The Dragon Staff Martial Soul also belonged to the dragon-type Martial Souls.

And Martial Souls of this type found it easiest to condense things such as Dragon Pearls and Inner Cores.

Furthermore, Meng Shu and Beast Academy were both independent forces.

They had no connection to the Two Great Empires or the major Soul Master sects. That made them a force that could be united.

In the future, that mad woman from Spirit Hall would destroy the entire world. Lu Duzhou needed to become as strong as possible and command more fighting strength.

When Meng Shu heard that Lu Duzhou had not only agreed to reveal the secret of Super Limit Soul Ring Absorption, but would also help him research how to break through to the Title Douluo level, he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

He had already prepared himself to bleed heavily on this trip, yet Lu Duzhou was not asking for anything. Instead, he was offering a benefit as immense as becoming a Title Douluo?

Benefits without a price were clearly unrealistic.

Meng Shu immediately thought of one possibility. Looking at Lu Duzhou, he asked:

"Do you want to marry my granddaughter?"

Lu Duzhou nearly lost his composure. At the same time, over at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang truly could not hold it together.
