Dugu Yan

The crowd below was filled with shock as they looked at the result on the Soul Duel stage.

Disbelief was plastered on the faces of the students.

"Yu Tianheng actually lost! He lost to a junior who's only seven or eight years old!"

"That's right, and he was completely crushed. Wow, is this Su Ze really that strong?"

"Su Ze's Mutated Lightning Attribute Martial Soul looks just like the Thunder God."

"All the lightning Su Ze mentioned was annihilated. Something about 'I am Heavenly Wrath.' I don't quite understand it, but it sounds incredibly powerful."

"I can learn that way of speaking during battles."

"Maybe we're witnessing history. The strongest Lightning Attribute Martial Soul might change hands in the future."

Noisy discussions erupted from the crowd. The handsome young man stared blankly at the figure on the Soul Duel stage, who resembled the Thunder God.

"He actually won!"

"No wonder he went into Thunder Gorge without any protection!"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Yu Tianheng, the genius of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan, would lose to a junior several years younger than him.

And to a Lightning Attribute Martial Soul, no less.

On the Soul Duel stage, Su Ze walked directly to Yu Tianheng's side.

Looking at Yu Tianheng, who was barely holding on, Su Ze spoke slowly.

"Senior, it seems this Soul Duel is mine!"

Su Ze wasn't in a hurry to collect his 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.

After all, Yu Tianheng represented the face of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

If he reneged on the bet.

And Su Ze publicized it widely, it would be the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan who lost face.

The clan's reputation was worth far more than 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Hearing Su Ze's words, Yu Tianheng endured the pain in his body and stood up.

Although he was extremely unwilling, his physical condition no longer supported him to fight.

Moreover, this crushing defeat left Yu Tianheng without the courage to challenge Su Ze again anytime soon.

"Here are the agreed-upon 10,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"I lost this time."

"However, me losing doesn't mean the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan lost. I was careless this time. I'll challenge you again after some time!"

"Su Ze, I'll get my revenge then."

As Yu Tianheng said this, his tone completely lacked its usual confidence.

It was more like he was making excuses for himself after being shamed.

Su Ze didn't take Yu Tianheng's harsh words to heart at all. He chuckled and accepted the golden card.

Yu Tianheng couldn't even defeat him now. When he later used 10,000 Gold Soul Coins to buy Whale Rubber to strengthen his body, the other party would have no chance.

To put it bluntly, today was the only time Yu Tianheng could possibly defeat him.

There would be no possibility in the future.

"Okay, Senior Yu, I welcome your future challenge."

"But let's get this straight beforehand. If you want to challenge me next time, it'll be 20,000 Gold Soul Coins."

After speaking, Su Ze slowly walked off the stage.

Watching Su Ze's disappearing figure, Yu Tianheng, who had been holding on desperately to avoid fainting, could no longer endure it and collapsed onto the ground.

Suddenly, many spectators below the stage cried out in alarm.

Many students who had interacted with Yu Tianheng rushed forward.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Su Ze.

His mind was completely filled with how to spend these 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.

This was the first time since his transmigration that he had obtained such a large sum of Gold Soul Coins.

Su Ze's initial plan was to use most of it to buy Whale Rubber to strengthen his body.

Then he would keep a dozen or so Gold Soul Coins for food.

As he was thinking, a figure slightly taller than him suddenly appeared before him, saying excitedly.

"Boss, my name is Qin Tian! Please take me as your subordinate."

Hearing this voice, Su Ze looked up in confusion.

He recognized the senior he had asked for directions earlier.

Seeing Su Ze's gaze turn towards him, Qin Tian immediately smiled and spoke.

"Boss, for you to defeat Yu Tianheng at such a young age, Heaven Dou Royal Academy will surely be yours in the future."

"Please take care of me more in the future, boss."

Qin Tian had thought it through clearly. Li Suze was already a level 26 Soul Grand Master at this age.

His mutated Lightning Attribute spirit could now easily defeat the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon.

As long as he didn't fall, there was a high probability he would become a Titled Douluo in the future.

At the very least, he would be a Soul Fighter.

He had to make friends with someone like this now.

Perhaps it would be useful to be acquainted with him someday in the future.

Not all soul masters were about fighting and killing; there was also social interaction.

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Su Ze was amused.

From their previous interaction, Su Ze had determined that Qin Tian was a kind-hearted person.

So, he felt there was no harm in befriending him.

More importantly, Qin Tian was a senior and had been at Heaven Dou Royal Academy longer than him.

He would definitely know where Dugu Yan was.

Now that the other party had approached him, it was the perfect opportunity to find out.

Next, Su Ze and Qin Tian chatted for a few sentences.

Through Qin Tian's words.

Su Ze systematically learned about Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

He also found out where Dugu Yan often appeared and which class she was in.

After confirming Dugu Yan's whereabouts, Su Ze glanced at the sky, which was already dusk, and decided to rest for the night.

He would go find Dugu Yan tomorrow.

Night.

In the infirmary, Yu Tianheng, who had lost to Su Ze, finally recovered thanks to the powerful physique of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon.

However, Yu Tianheng's face now lacked the confidence he had before.

All that remained was unwillingness.

He kept replaying the scene in his mind where he was defeated by Su Ze on the Soul Duel stage.

If Su Ze had been older and stronger than him, then he could have consoled himself with such a defeat.

But with Su Ze, Yu Tianheng had the advantage in age and Soul Power.

Yet, he had lost without any ability to resist.

This kind of loss not only made Yu Tianheng lose confidence in himself.

Thinking of Su Ze's young face, Yu Tianheng slowly exhaled.

At this moment, he finally understood how the people in the academy had viewed him before.

Su Ze!

After silently repeating the name in his heart, Yu Tianheng suddenly stood up.

Although Su Ze was a genius.

He still had a chance!

The most powerful aspect of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon was Dragon Transformation, which he couldn't activate as a mere Soul Grand Master.

When he reached Soul Elder in the future, he could activate Dragon Transformation.

At that time, he would still have a chance to get his revenge.

However, Yu Tianheng thought very clearly that he wasn't seeking revenge for himself.

But to reclaim the honor for the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Through the previous battle, Yu Tianheng clearly recognized that Su Ze's talent was far superior to his.

He wanted to prove that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan was still the number one beast spirit in the world.

The next day.

The first thing Su Ze did upon waking up was not to find Dugu Yan.

The reason was simple: he wanted to establish a connection with Dugu Yan.

The simplest explanation is that he has a way to detoxify.

But without proof.

Dugu Yan might not listen to him.

So the next step is to find Dugu Yan, and there's a high probability of conflict.

Since that's the case, he'll go to Thunder Gorge first to charge up the lightning needed to unleash his ultimate move.

Then he can have a good talk with Dugu Yan.

Thunder Gorge.

Lightning bolts fell from the dark clouds, striking Su Ze, who sat cross-legged.

Under the effect of the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul, all the falling lightning was absorbed, unable to harm Su Ze in the slightest.

While accumulating the lightning for his ultimate move, Thunderous Force.

Intense Soul Power fluctuations emanated from Su Ze's body.

His physical strength increased from level 35 to level 36.

"Coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the right choice. After charging up the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul twice in Thunder Gorge."

"It directly triggered my body's evolution."

After sighing, Su Ze's gaze fell on Yu Tianheng's figure behind him.

After glancing at him and confirming that the other party had no intention of challenging him.

Su Ze turned and left.

He wouldn't mind having more Gold Soul Coins.

If Yu Tianheng came to challenge him to a Soul Duel again today, he wouldn't mind earning another 20,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Yu Tianheng watched Su Ze leave, his eyes lighting up.

After yesterday's battle, he already knew that his talent was inferior to Su Ze's.

If his talent was inferior, then Yu Tianheng would work harder.

Moreover, he saw that Su Ze seemed to have become complacent after defeating him.

The Thunder Gorge still had dense lightning attributes, yet the opponent left directly.

It seemed that defeating him made the opponent believe his talent was exceptional.

He needed to seize the opportunity when the other side was careless to catch up and then break through to Soul Elder.

By then, he would not only have the Dragon Transformation of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon!

His strength would also be higher than Su Ze's, and the duel would definitely be his victory.

With this in mind, Yu Tianheng began to cultivate diligently.

He imitated Su Ze's method and began to attract lightning to strike himself without any protection.

Since Su Ze could do it.

He could also do it without protection.

BOOM!

The violent lightning struck Yu Tianheng.

A moment later, panicked voices of the students echoed through Thunder Gorge.

"Teacher, it's bad! Yu Tianheng has been knocked unconscious by the lightning!"

"Isn't Yu Tianheng crazy? Why isn't he protecting himself?"

Su Ze, of course, was unaware of the situation in Thunder Gorge afterward.

He was currently waiting by the roadside that Dugu Yan passed every day.

After waiting for a moment, Su Ze quickly determined his next course of action.

After Dugu Yan appeared.

He would go up and communicate with her, saying he had a way to detoxify.

If Dugu Yan believed him, they would negotiate terms.

If Dugu Yan didn't believe him.

Then he would have a duel with Dugu Yan.

He would make Dugu Yan believe him through physical means.

He was determined to get the Immortal Herb.

And as long as he dealt with Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo would be easy to handle.

The other party's personality was clearly written in the original work; he was a man who kept his promises.

Moreover, Tang San had already exchanged methods for detoxification for all the Immortal Herbs in Dugu Bo's entire medicinal garden.

There was no reason why he couldn't do the same.

As Su Ze was reviewing his plan.

At this moment, a group of youthful and beautiful men and women wearing the uniforms of Heaven Dou Royal Academy walked out.

Seeing people emerge, Su Ze, who had been lazily leaning against the wall, immediately straightened his body.

His gaze fell on the center of the group of men and women.

It was a girl with green hair, who was currently walking out of the academy as if she were the center of attention.

This green-haired girl had a slender figure, and her entire face was spirited while also being incredibly beautiful.

What drew the most attention were the slender long legs beneath her deep purple qipao.

Green hair!

Beautiful face!

Long legs!

And this transcendent status.

In the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it could only be Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan bid farewell to the people around her who were flattering her and walked out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy alone.

As she walked along the roadside, a handsome youth who looked quite young was staring intently at her.

His eyes held passion and excitement.

Upon seeing this youth for the first time, Dugu Yan naturally assumed he was one of her admirers.

As the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, combined with her beautiful face.

Dugu Yan was extremely popular throughout Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

She had many suitors.

Even Yu Tianheng, previously the strongest in Heaven Dou Royal Academy, had been pursuing her intentionally or unintentionally.

However, this was the first time she had seen someone as young as Su Ze.

"Has my charm grown this great already!"

"Even kids are confessing to me now."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Dugu Yan's usually cold face.

Looking at the young boy walking up to her, Dugu Yan spoke softly, "Little brother, what can I do for you?"

Hearing Dugu Yan's gentle tone, Su Ze was slightly stunned.

According to Qin Tian, Dugu Yan was very cold and almost never showed a good attitude towards men.

Why was she speaking to him so gently?

However, after a thought, Su Ze understood everything from Dugu Yan's address to him.

It must be a matter of age.

Dugu Yan was currently 15 years old.

Her age was almost double his.

In her eyes, he was just a handsome little boy, not a threat at all.

It seemed being young had its advantages.

With this thought, Su Ze slowly spoke.

"Um, you're Dugu Yan, right?"

"I want to meet your grandfather."

"It's about your family's Martial Soul curse."

"I know there's a flaw in your family's Jade Scale Snake Martial Soul."

"I have a way to fix the flaw."

Su Ze looked at Dugu Yan with an extremely serious expression.

However, to Su Ze's utter surprise, Dugu Yan burst out laughing.

"Kid, stop joking!"

"If you're not confessing, hurry along now, big sister needs to go home."

"Who told you my Martial Soul has a flaw? Was it someone from the academy!"

As she spoke, Dugu Yan half-crouched down and pinched Su Ze's cheek.

Feeling the touch on his face, Su Ze's expression darkened.

But because of his young age.

Dugu Yan didn't take his words seriously at all.

In that case, Su Ze decided to directly execute the second plan.

Immediately, Su Ze's expression changed, he slapped away Dugu Yan's hands that were manhandling him, and said coldly:

"Dugu Yan, right? I think your Jade Scale Snake Martial Soul is a trash martial soul, and your Jade Scale Snake Poison is the most garbage poison in this world!"

"I, Su Ze, am now formally challenging you."

Since words weren't getting through, Su Ze decided to use the most direct method.

To make Dugu Yan understand that he was serious.
