You Don't Want Tang San to Die Without a Burial, Do You?

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile and reminded him, "Don't worry. This pill won't cause you any pain. You only need to do as I say, and within three days, you'll be able to perfectly fuse the toxins in your body into your soul bones."

Dugu Bo was somewhat astonished. If that was really the case, then it was far too simple. This deadly poison had plagued him for his entire life, yet before Lin Yuan, it seemed so easily resolved.

Could it be that he was also a master of poisons?

"Teacher, my Soul Power has broken through Rank 40!"

Just as Dugu Bo was wracking his brains for an answer, Ye Lingling, Lin Yuan's personal disciple, happily ran in from outside the courtyard.

When Ye Lingling saw Dugu Bo, she did not dare be disrespectful and immediately bowed to him. "Greetings, Poison Douluo."

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was, after all, Dugu Yan's grandfather. The former members of the Heaven Dou Battle Team had all met him before, so they instinctively bowed in greeting upon seeing him.

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and looked at the white-haired girl. He asked curiously, "You're Yanyan's classmate, Ye Lingling?"

Ye Lingling nodded and replied softly, "Yes, Your Excellency Dugu."

Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat strange. He remembered Yanyan's classmates, but he had not expected Ye Lingling's cultivation speed to be this fast.

When they had last met, Ye Lingling had only been a Rank 37 Soul Elder. How long had it even been? She had already broken through to become a Rank 40 Soul Ancestor.

Even his own granddaughter, Dugu Yan, only had Rank 43 Soul Power at present. Even that had only been achieved with his help.

Could all of this be Lin Yuan's doing?

As Dugu Bo pondered this, Ye Lingling came before Lin Yuan. She tidied the silky hair beside her ear with her small hand and smiled sweetly. "Teacher, with Senior Shang Que's help, Osler and the others have also broken through Rank 40. We only need to head to the Star Dou Forest and obtain soul rings to directly break through into the Soul Ancestor realm."

"What? Even Osler and the others have broken through to Soul Ancestor?"

Dugu Bo cried out in surprise.

Without hesitation, Ye Lingling said, "Yes. Under Teacher's guidance, our cultivation speed is hundreds of times faster than before. Not only have I broken through to Soul Ancestor, they've reached the Soul Ancestor realm as well."

Dugu Bo was shocked once again. He subconsciously looked at Lin Yuan, who was seated in his chair, savoring his tea. He could hardly believe that under Lin Yuan's guidance, soul masters could cultivate so quickly.

Was this the true worth of the youngest Title Douluo on Douluo Continent?

Truly earth-shattering!

Had he known this, he should have persuaded Yanyan to return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy long ago. What future could she possibly have with Yu Tianheng? Besides, how could Shrek Academy's teaching compare to that of a Title Douluo?

Lin Yuan set down his teacup and said calmly to Dugu Bo, "I have already resolved your matter. Give this pill to Dugu Yan. Afterward, just find her another soul bone."

"You may leave. Do not disturb my life again."

Seeing that Lin Yuan had issued an order to leave, Dugu Bo could only reluctantly pick up the pill from the table and turn to leave without looking back.

Before leaving, however, he did not forget to glance at Lin Yuan's courtyard, already thinking of how he could get Yanyan to come back.

Yu Tianheng had Master's guidance, so naturally he would be fine. But Dugu Yan could only follow the arrangements of Shrek Academy's teachers. How could she possibly achieve anything great in the future?

After Dugu Bo left, Lin Yuan turned to look at the timid Xiao Wu. Because of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and since Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao had yet to appear, leaving her here alone could very likely cause unnecessary trouble.

She might even be taken away by Tang Hao. If that happened, the loss would far outweigh the gain.

"Xiao Wu, you will accompany me to the Star Dou Forest tomorrow. No problem, right?"

At those words, Xiao Wu froze. She subconsciously turned around, scarcely believing her ears.

Lord Lin Yuan wanted to take her to the Star Dou Forest too? Was he not afraid she would seize the chance to escape?

"Senior, are you sure you want me to accompany you?"

Lin Yuan swirled the teacup in his hand. He seemed to have long understood the implication behind Xiao Wu's words and nodded. "Don't entertain any foolish thoughts. Forget the Forest Emperor Titan Giant Ape—even the Forest Emperor Sky Azure Bull Python is beneath my notice. If you do not want them to die because of you, then do not try any tricks before me."

"You should understand as well how foolish it is to play tricks before a Title Douluo. Besides, you don't want Tang San to die without a burial, do you?"

"I... I understand..."

Xiao Wu's face instantly turned deathly pale, and even her breathing became rapid. She could only nod unwillingly, but the fear in her heart left her too afraid to even look Lin Yuan in the eyes.

Lin Yuan snorted coldly and returned to his seat. At his current strength, facing the Forest Emperor would not take much effort.

Even if the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts joined forces, he would not fear them in the slightest. After all, he still had a Blood Fiend Azure Dragon mount with three hundred thousand years of cultivation.

The next morning, dawn shone brilliantly.

Having packed their luggage, the members of the Heaven Dou Battle Team had long been waiting outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Even the carriage for the journey had been prepared in advance.

"Ling Ling, will Teacher Lin Yuan be coming with us to the Star Dou Forest this time? He's a Title Douluo, right? With a casual move, he should be able to solve the matter of the soul beasts for us, shouldn't he?"

Osler asked curiously, seeking confirmation once more.

"Not necessarily." Ye Lingling pursed her lips and shook her head. "Teacher will not personally take action this time. Don't forget, hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings on this trip may also be a practical test that can improve our strength."
