You're Full of Shit!

"Sure, Mr. Qin. Make yourself at home."

Qin Ming placed a gleaming badge in Danheng's hand and told him that tomorrow, all he had to do was show it to the guards, and they would let him in.

After Qin Ming left, Danheng quietly drank tea alone, pondering what Qin Ming had said.

Another Titled Douluo, and one skilled in poison. That counted as a special talent, didn't it?

I should go see for myself!

Besides, Danheng had probably already figured out what was behind Dugu Yan's poisoning.

A Titled Douluo skilled in poison could not possibly have failed to notice his own granddaughter had been poisoned. Yet he had done nothing about it. Why?

Setting aside extreme possibilities like him having a vicious nature or some melodramatic backstory, the only explanation was that even the Titled Douluo himself had no solution to this poison.

Otherwise, why would he ignore it? Had he stopped loving her?

As for why Dugu Yan showed no symptoms, it was likely because she had been born able to adapt to this toxicity.

So this poison was very likely an innate flaw of Dugu Yan's martial soul. Yet it was also her martial soul that allowed her to resist the poison for a short time.

But if that was the case, then this Titled Douluo, who specialized in poison, must have been deeply poisoned himself.

And the poison in this Titled Douluo's body was surely worlds apart from the poison in Dugu Yan's.

A poison user harmed by poison himself, yet unable to do anything about it—Danheng found that rather interesting.

The next day, Danheng did not linger in Heaven Dou City. He headed straight for Heaven Dou Royal Academy; he would be coming back later anyway.

At the main gate, Danheng followed Qin Ming's instructions and showed the badge Qin Ming had given him to a guard.

"So you're Teacher Qin's friend. This way, please!"

The moment the guard saw the badge, his attitude turned extremely respectful. Not only did he allow Danheng into the academy, but he thoughtfully handed him a map of the academy grounds.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy really is enormous."

Just looking at the academy map made Danheng sigh.

In terms of student quality, Heaven Dou Royal Academy definitely could not rank among the very best in the Heaven Dou Empire.

But when it came to land area, it was truly unmatched in the Heaven Dou Empire!

It possessed not only this entire mountain, but also a lake at its foot and a vast forest behind it, all under the academy's jurisdiction.

Even Godwind Academy was not this large!

Shrek was even less worth mentioning. It was just some place by the roadside.

As he walked through Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Danheng found the scenery quite pleasant. He took out March's camera and casually snapped a few pictures.

"Tch, where did this country bumpkin come from? What's he doing with that piece of junk?"

At that moment, a rather discordant voice rang out. Danheng frowned and looked up.

He saw seven or eight young men around eighteen or nineteen staring at him with mocking eyes.

"Apologize."

Danheng put away the map and spoke coldly.

"Pfft, hahahaha! This country bumpkin wants me to apologize?"

The young man who had just mocked him seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and burst into laughter at his companions.

"Do you know who my father is? My father—"

Before the young man could finish, he suddenly felt himself become shorter. Looking down, he found that he had somehow fallen to his knees.

When he turned his head, he saw that his companions were also kneeling on the ground with bewildered looks on their faces.

"Apologize."

The young man looked up just as a long spear rapidly filled his vision. The spearhead, wrapped in wind-element power, was about to pierce directly into his eye.

"I'm sorry!"

In that split second, the young man used every ounce of strength in his life, tearing his throat open as he frantically apologized.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the sharp spearhead stopped half a centimeter from his eye. The edge of the spear made him afraid even to blink, terrified that one careless movement would ruin his eye.

"It's fine. Be more careful next time."

Danheng withdrew his spear. Without sparing the group another glance, he strode away.

"Huff..."

The moment Danheng left, the young man's breathing trembled. His kneeling legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground.

His exquisite, luxurious clothes were inevitably covered in dust. The arrogance that had once filled his face had vanished completely, leaving behind only clear eyes and an obedient expression.

"Big Brother, he went too far!"

"Yeah, Big Brother! We can't just let this go!"

"Big Brother, let's go find the Fourth Prince! That guy was way too arrogant!"

The words of those around him gradually restored some of the young man's senses. At last, he found enough strength to prop himself up into a sitting position.

Standing was out of the question. His legs were still weak. If he stood up only to collapse again, these clothes would be ruined for good.

After taking several deep breaths, the young man finally calmed himself down, though his eyes remained clear.

"Big Brother, what do you say?"

"Huh?"

As if he had been frightened stupid, the young man stared blankly at the people around him.

"Big Brother, don't tell me you're scared?"

"You're full of shit!"

The moment he heard the word "scared," rage surged through the young man. He slapped both hands against the ground and sprang to his feet.

But before he could look cool for even a second, his weak legs sent him sitting back down. His eyes became clear once more.

"Scared? Impossible. I'll never be scared in my life. At most, I'll just admit defeat and play the grandson..."

As he spoke, the young man's body grew softer and softer until he finally lay back down on the ground.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother's done for. How about you make me Big Brother instead?"

"Pah! You're a useless loser who only reached level twenty-six at nineteen. What makes you worthy of being the boss?"

"And you are? You're the most worthy one, right?"

For no apparent reason, the group began arguing fiercely over who should be the boss. Danheng knew nothing about it, nor did he care to.

That young man should behave himself for quite some time after the slight pressure Danheng had exerted on him.

If he had merely called Danheng a country bumpkin, Danheng would not have cared. He had seen plenty of spoiled young masters—ones far more outrageous than these.

But the other party should not have called March's camera a piece of junk! It was one of the few things on Douluo Continent that made him feel at ease whenever he saw it.

If not for Qin Ming's sake, turning these people into particles would have taken only one thrust.

The Wolf Raiders were the perfect example. But they had not been connected to anyone important, so Danheng had simply given them one thrust.

"The Fourth Prince, huh."

Danheng had heard those people discussing going to find the Fourth Prince, but he did not care.

A prince? How did he compare to an ancient beast? How did he compare to a Lord of Extinction?

If anyone dared to disrespect his companion in front of him, he would give even an emperor a thrust!

Did they not know what it meant to connect Cloud Piercer to the brain and let dragon transformation do the thinking?

"Right, if March's camera is here, could Stelle's things be here too?"

With that thought, Danheng hurriedly began searching through the storage space formed by the Carriage Projection.
