Dugu Manor!
In Heaven Dou City, this was far from an obscure place. On the contrary, after Dugu Bo became a Title Douluo, people coming to deliver gifts had nearly worn down the threshold of Dugu Manor.
However, because Dugu Bo was naturally reclusive, he had driven all of them away.
Thus, after several years had passed,
Dugu Manor was still there, but it seemed exceptionally deserted.
As for Taichu,
after asking for the location of Dugu Manor, he immediately headed over.
Seeing him come alone to pay a visit, the bystanders could not help but sneer.
"A foolish kid, trying to visit Poison Douluo without bringing anything? I bet he will not even get through the front gate!"
"That is not necessarily true. Weren't the people who brought gifts unable to get in before?"
"I bet he cannot get in. If I win, you are treating us to this meal! If I lose, I will pay!"
"Pah! There is only one possible answer to this bet. You already picked it, so what the hell is there left to bet on? If I take that bet, I am an idiot!"
"Wait, something seems off!"
"Holy shit, that kid got in!"
"Hahaha! We won! Kid, cough up the money. You are paying for this meal!"
"Didn't you guys say you were betting too?"
"You trying to welch on your debt? Believe it or not, we will beat you up!"
Outside, at a roadside stall, one man reluctantly pulled out his money under the crowd's encirclement and paid for everyone's meal.
Inside Dugu Manor.
"Young Master, this way, please!"
The butler led Taichu farther inside.
In the living room,
someone was already waiting for him.
The man was thin, with green hair and eyes like emeralds. Although he had not introduced himself, Taichu recognized his identity at a glance.
Dugu Bo!
Though they had never met, word of Dugu Bo's appearance had spread throughout the Outside World.
"This junior, Taichu, pays respects to Poison Douluo, Your Excellency!"
Taichu spoke respectfully.
After all, the person before him was a Title Douluo.
"You are the one my Granddaughter mentioned?"
Dugu Bo asked.
"That is correct!"
Taichu straightened his back, met the man's gaze, and answered seriously.
"Very good!"
He had just heard those words from Dugu Bo, but in the next instant, an astonishing pressure erupted from the other man and bore down directly upon him.
The immense pressure was like a mountain pressing directly onto his body.
Crack—!
Under that tremendous pressure, the tiles beneath his feet shattered instantly.
"Where did you learn about the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison of my Dugu Family?"
Dugu Bo released his Soul Power Pressure, gradually increasing its intensity.
"I read it in a book."
Taichu gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Do you take me for a fool?"
Dugu Bo's eyes turned cold as he abruptly raised the Soul Power Pressure to that of a Level 50 Soul King.
At once,
Taichu felt enormous pressure.
"That is the truth!"
He still gritted his teeth and answered.
"But I think you are lying!"
Dugu Bo said coldly.
His Soul Power Level increased again, reaching that of a Level 60 Soul Emperor!
Buzz—!!!
Under the immense Soul Power Pressure, Taichu's Mangekyō Sharingan emerged in his eyes, and two Purple Soul Rings appeared around him. His Level 30 Soul Power was so weak before Dugu Bo's Soul Power Pressure.
Yet that did not stop him from resisting with that weak Soul Power.
"Thousand Year First and Second Soul Rings!!!"
Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted at the sight.
Although he had learned from his Granddaughter that Taichu had Absorbed a Thousand Year Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring, seeing it with his own eyes still left him utterly shocked.
With such a Soul Ring Configuration, he feared he could only dream of it in this lifetime.
Yet,
this boy had already accomplished it.
At that moment.
Tap, tap, tap—!
"Grandfather, I heard from the Butler that that Younger Brother has arrived!"
Accompanied by a series of light footsteps, Dugu Yan's voice rang out. Then Taichu suddenly felt the weight on his body vanish. Dugu Bo had withdrawn his Soul Power Pressure. With the pressure gone, he also retracted his Soul Rings and Martial Soul.
He saw that familiar figure. Though they had not met for two years, she had grown much taller and become more mature.
He saw Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan naturally noticed him as well.
"You are that Younger Brother?"
Dugu Yan stared at Taichu and asked.
"It is me."
Taichu nodded.
"You are really handsome!"
Dugu Yan looked at his still somewhat youthful yet incomparably handsome face, and her cheeks could not help flushing. Just based on that face alone, Taichu had already earned extra points in her heart.
Over the past two years, she had thought he wore a mask because he was ugly. Now, it seemed she had overthought things.
Dugu Bo: "???"
What the hell?
This Old Man is still right here!
Can't you show a little restraint, girl?!
He is just a little handsome. Can being handsome fill your stomach?!
Dugu Bo's face darkened as he sighed inwardly, feeling that his Granddaughter was truly disappointing.
"Th-thank you for the compliment!"
Her words left even Taichu unsure how to respond.
"Younger Brother, how old are you this year?"
Dugu Yan asked curiously.
Because Absorbing Soul Rings promoted physical growth, it was difficult to determine a Soul Master's age from appearance alone.
"9 Years Old."
Taichu answered.
Crack—!
Something seemed to shatter. Taichu focused his eyes and saw that Dugu Bo had crushed the teacup in his hand!
Little brat, I thought you had great self-control. I did not expect this to shock you.
Taichu secretly felt pleased.
And indeed, just as he had expected, Dugu Bo was truly shocked.
"9 Years Old! Level 30! And both his first and second Soul Rings are Thousand Year Soul Rings!"
A storm of shock had completely risen in Dugu Bo's heart.
If it had merely been two Thousand Year Soul Rings, it would only mean that the boy had some tricks up his sleeve. But reaching Level 30 at 9 Years Old? Did he start cultivating in his mother's womb? As far as Dugu Bo knew, even Innate Full Soul Power could not achieve such a level.
And since he had reached Level 30 Soul Power at 9 Years Old, it only proved how terrifying his talent was.
Not To Mention that both his first and second Soul Rings were Thousand Year Soul Rings.
Following this method of absorption,
would his Fourth Soul Ring not reach the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring level?
This...
he was undoubtedly a seedling for becoming a Title Douluo!
As long as he did not die prematurely,
there was at least a ninety percent chance that he would become a Title Douluo.
Looking at him again,
his own Granddaughter had already pulled the boy over to sit down and begun chatting with him.
At once,
an idea arose in his heart.
This kid is so outstanding, and he is even about one-tenth as handsome as this Old Man was in his youth. Although Yanyan is seven years older than him, an older woman by three years brings gold bricks. Letting this kid carry more than two gold bricks is already giving him a bargain.
Heaven really does respect me, granting me such an outstanding Grandson-in-law.
At that moment, the smile on Dugu Bo's lips was harder to suppress than an AK.
