Dugu Yan: Has This Generation Order Gotten Messed Up??

"A petty thief? If there really was a petty thief that bold, I'd wipe out their entire family."

Dugu Bo moved with light steps. After his strength had greatly improved, he looked radiant and full of vigor, more like a middle-aged man in his prime than an old man.

Thus, Chu Chen and Dugu Bo chatted idly all the way back to Heaven Dou City.

"I heard that you had a conflict with the current prince, Xue Beng?"

Just after entering Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo seemed to recall something and asked Chu Chen in a rather strange tone.

"Using his status as a prince to bully men and harass women—I merely taught him a lesson on someone else's behalf. That hardly counts as a conflict. It was discipline."

Chu Chen answered calmly.

Xue Beng was indeed disguising himself, but Chu Chen could tell that the look in his eyes when he had pestered Ye Lingling seemed more like his true nature showing through than the debauched act he put on to preserve his life.

"Sigh, matters of the imperial family are quite complicated. Since you've already become enemies with Xue Beng, it would be better to have less contact with him."

Dugu Bo did not tell him the truth. Even now, he only had a vague sense of Xue Beng's disguise.

He vaguely felt that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's situation was complicated, but he was an outsider after all and could not be bothered to meddle. If he got involved, he would likely be dragged into it and invite trouble.

"Of course I can't be bothered with imperial family affairs."

Chu Chen shook his head. He did not want to delve too deeply into such matters, even though he had now become acquainted with Xue Qinghe—who was Qian Renxue.

Only then did Dugu Bo feel at ease.

As the two made their way to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they inevitably began discussing the academy. Since Chu Chen had directly joined the Huangdou Team and had no direct affiliation with Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the academy could not really restrain him.

"An academy like this has an excellent Mimicry Cultivation Environment, yet its policy of admitting only nobles has caused it to lose its original character."

Chu Chen remarked leisurely from the side.

"You're still so young, yet you talk like a little old man." Dugu Bo did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he did not deny Chu Chen's words.

Before long, they saw Qin Ming guiding Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the others in cultivation. Seeing Chu Chen return, Qin Ming stepped forward and smiled at Dugu Bo. "Senior Dugu, thank you for looking after Chu Chen."

"This little fellow has helped me quite a bit. It hardly counts as looking after him."

Dugu Bo waved his hand, signaling that Chu Chen could return to the team.

"Alright, little fellow, I've brought you back. I should be staying in Heaven Dou City for a while, so come find me if you need anything."

Seeing that Dugu Yan was still cultivating, Dugu Bo did not disturb her and instead chose to wait nearby.

Clearly, he had made up his mind to let Dugu Yan see how radiant he looked now. In front of others, he might have been the fearsome Poison Douluo.

But before Dugu Yan, he was merely an old man who loved his granddaughter and was a little prideful!

"This Old Poison really can't wait to show himself off."

Chu Chen teased him, exchanged a few words with Qin Ming, then sat down nearby.

Not long after, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and the others ended their cultivation one after another. When Dugu Yan saw Dugu Bo like this, she was overjoyed.

"Grandpa! How did you become so much younger?"

Dugu Bo then explained the reason to Dugu Yan. Afterward, Dugu Yan walked over to Chu Chen, who was talking with Ye Lingling, and said gratefully, "Chu Chen, thank you for curing my grandpa!"

"I'm brothers with your grandpa now, right, Old Poison!"

Chu Chen did not mind teasing Dugu Yan a little, so he waved at Dugu Bo.

Old Poison!?

The moment that form of address came out, everyone else was instantly dumbfounded.

Good lord, he really dared to call him that!

If anyone usually called Dugu Bo that, they would probably turn into pus the next moment. Dugu Bo had an eccentric temperament—who would dare tease him? That would be asking to die.

"That little bastard Chu Chen is indeed my brother!" Dugu Bo laughed and cursed.

Qin Ming's mouth twitched.

They had only known each other for a few days. How had their relationship become this good already?

At the same time, he could not help but regard Chu Chen more highly. To have such a friendship with a Title Douluo as eccentric as Dugu Bo was no simple matter.

Dugu Yan: "???"

At that moment, Dugu Yan's face was filled with question marks. What kind of situation was this?

"No, wait... my teammate is my grandpa's brother? What kind of nonsense is that, Grandpa? What are you up to now!"

Dugu Yan glared at Dugu Bo indignantly. Wasn't this generation order completely messed up? Did that mean she had to call Chu Chen Senior now?

"Chu Chen, how did you become so familiar with Senior Poison Douluo?" Ye Lingling gently nudged Chu Chen's arm and asked in a low voice.

"I helped him deal with some troublesome matters."

Chu Chen explained it to Ye Lingling. She nodded, looking somewhat bewildered. Clearly, she did not understand what a Title Douluo would need a Soul Ancestor to help with.

After some joking around, night had fallen, and everyone ended their cultivation for the day. As for Chu Chen, what he needed to do now was thoroughly consolidate his cultivation.

Then, break through to Spirit King!

Chu Chen strolled through Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Ye Lingling at night. The nighttime scenery was serene and beautiful, with stars scattered across the sky like a reflected river of stars, breathtakingly splendid.

"So that's what happened. I never thought Poison Douluo could get poisoned too." Ye Lingling's little mouth formed an O, utterly astonished by the news.

"There are all sorts of unforeseen changes in cultivation. It's normal."

After escorting Ye Lingling back to her residence, Chu Chen rose into the air beneath the cover of night and headed toward the Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City. With his current strength, he should be able to handle Spirit King-level deathmatches with ease!

When Chu Chen appeared at the Great Soul Arena in his familiar attire, he immediately drew the attention of countless people!

Destruction, who had disappeared for several days, had appeared again.

Everyone knew that there would likely be another brutal deathmatch to watch tonight. Having grown used to all kinds of soul skill clashes, they instead began to miss Chu Chen's method of fighting purely with his physical body!

"Contestant Destruction, are you sure you want to enter a level fifty deathmatch?"

The person in charge of registration was stunned, clearly not expecting this man to be so insane.

He was only a Soul Ancestor, yet he wanted to challenge a Spirit King.

"I'm sure." Chu Chen nodded.

The official was only responsible for registration and naturally did not care whether Chu Chen lived or died. What he cared about was the Great Soul Arena's profits, and a match where Destruction challenged a Spirit King would clearly bring terrifying traffic to the arena.

In an instant, the news spread throughout Heaven Dou City.

The spectator stands were already packed to the brim. Several notable figures had also come upon hearing the news, including Dugu Bo, Xue Qinghe, and Blazing Academy.

"It was this guy who killed our Huo Changkong." Among Blazing Academy's group, a young man spoke in a low voice, his tone filled with killing intent.
