Dugu Bo Joins Spirit Hall

Seeing that Dugu Yan had agreed, Dugu Bo could only sigh helplessly. At this point, it was no longer something he could stop just by saying so.

After all, Lin Yu had two Titled Douluo on his side, while he was alone. There was no way he could be their match. Even if he refused, what would that change? Would refusing stop them?

Hearing that Dugu Yan had agreed to the wager, Lin Yu smiled. He didn't even glance at Dugu Bo, instead walking straight over to the Evil Eye Ghost Spider, which lay on the ground, barely clinging to life.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he plunged his knife straight into the Evil Eye Ghost Spider's brain.

As Lin Yu drove his knife in, the Evil Eye Ghost Spider, which had still been struggling, finally stopped moving. A Soul Ring, yellow with a tinge of purple, appeared before them.

Seeing the Soul Ring rise, Dugu Bo understood that Yue Guan had been telling the truth. If Dugu Yan really absorbed it, then even with him guarding her, she wouldn't escape death.

After all, Dugu Yan's Martial Soul wasn't the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor like his. It was only a Jade Phosphorous Serpent, and a Martial Soul like that couldn't possibly withstand the poison brought by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

Seeing a Soul Ring that clearly exceeded the limit for a Second Soul Ring, Lin Yu sat cross-legged without hesitation and began absorbing it.

"Hey, you dead Chrysanthemum, aren't you worried he'll fail to absorb the Soul Ring?" Seeing Lin Yu begin absorbing it, Dugu Bo looked at Yue Guan in confusion.

"Heh. Don't judge the geniuses of our Spirit Hall by your shallow knowledge." Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Yue Guan looked at him mockingly.

At Yue Guan's words, Dugu Bo's expression darkened.

After all, who would look pleased at being mocked in front of their own granddaughter?

"Heh, keep talking tough. When something happens to that Spirit Hall genius you keep bragging about, let's see if you can still smile." Seeing that Yue Guan wouldn't appreciate his concern and was even mocking him, Dugu Bo snorted.

But Yue Guan paid no attention to Dugu Bo's words.

He simply guarded Lin Yu as he absorbed the Soul Ring, without answering.

To Dugu Bo's surprise, Lin Yu absorbed the Soul Ring without a hitch. The entire process went remarkably smoothly, and after an hour, he had completely absorbed the Evil Eye Ghost Spider's Soul Ring.

Once the Soul Ring had completely disappeared into Lin Yu's body, he opened his eyes. As they opened, a terrifying light shot out.

"How did it go?" Seeing Lin Yu open his eyes, Yue Guan hurried over and asked with concern.

Although Yue Guan had sounded very confident earlier, he'd still been a little worried. After all, the Soul Ring exceeded the limit by about two hundred years.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yue. I'm fine." After assuring him that he was all right, Lin Yu turned to look at Dugu Yan.

"Miss Dugu, do you believe now that I could absorb this Soul Ring?" Though Lin Yu was asking Dugu Yan, his tone was utterly certain.

Of course he was certain. He had already absorbed the Soul Ring.

But Dugu Yan didn't say anything to Lin Yu. Instead, she looked at Dugu Bo with guilt.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I lost." Dugu Yan hadn't thought Lin Yu would actually be able to absorb the Soul Ring. She had originally planned to have the two Titled Douluo behind him agree to do something for her grandfather, but now her grandfather was the one who had to agree to do something for the other side.

"It's all right. Even your grandpa didn't expect this." Dugu Bo was a little unhappy, since he had to do something for Yue Guan, a man he disliked. But hearing the guilt in Dugu Yan's voice filled him with affection for her, and he hurried to comfort his granddaughter.

"Hmph! You dead Chrysanthemum, you got lucky this time. So, what do you want me to do?" Dugu Bo looked at Yue Guan with displeasure.

"Heh, Old Poison, what do you mean, lucky? This is called strength." Yue Guan glared at Old Poison, dissatisfied.

"Xiao Yu, you tell him. What do you want Old Poison to do?" Yue Guan turned to Lin Yu, letting him state his request.

"Senior Dugu, what I want you to do is join Spirit Hall." Lin Yu stated his request.

"What!? You want me to join Spirit Hall? Didn't that dead Chrysanthemum beside you tell you about the grudge between us?" Dugu Bo's face twisted with rage at Lin Yu's words.

"What, is Senior Dugu, the dignified Titled Douluo, someone who doesn't keep his word?" Lin Yu didn't react to Dugu Bo's fury. He simply looked at him calmly.

At Lin Yu's words, the aura surging from Dugu Bo abruptly faltered, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Why would my grandpa break his word? Besides, I was the one who made the bet with you. Even if anyone has to join Spirit Hall, it should be me." Seeing Lin Yu insult her grandfather, Dugu Yan stepped forward and faced him.

"You? Our wager was clear: you and I made the bet, but your grandfather and Uncle Yue are the ones who have to fulfill it.

"Do you think a One-Ring Soul Master at level twenty can compare to a Titled Douluo?" Lin Yu didn't even glance at Dugu Yan. He stared straight at Dugu Bo.

"What is it, Old Poison? Planning to break the wager?" Yue Guan's voice turned cold. The aura of a Titled Douluo rose from him, and Gui Mei, standing nearby, did the same.

Seeing Yue Guan and Gui Mei, Dugu Bo's expression immediately darkened.

Lin Yu stared steadily at Dugu Bo, waiting to see what he would choose.

If Dugu Bo really intended to go back on his word, Lin Yu wouldn't hesitate to make him disappear from the world right there, along with Dugu Yan.

Lin Yu wasn't someone who did nothing. But once he decided to act, he saw it through to the end. If you didn't pull out the roots, the weeds would grow back when the spring breeze blew.

As Dugu Bo fell silent, killing intent began to surface in Lin Yu's eyes.

Sensing the killing intent in Lin Yu, Yue Guan and Gui Mei stopped holding back. They fixed Dugu Bo with murderous glares.

"Grandpa." Dugu Yan sensed their killing intent too and cowered behind Dugu Bo, frightened.

"Fine. I agree to join Spirit Hall." Dugu Bo practically ground out the words through clenched teeth.

Hearing Dugu Bo's answer, Lin Yu's lips curled into a smile, but he clearly wasn't about to trust him just like that.

"I hope Senior Dugu keeps his word. Even if you won't consider yourself, think of your granddaughter. You know how powerful Spirit Hall is. If you choose to betray Spirit Hall, your granddaughter had better be careful." Lin Yu smiled, but his words were icy.

"Are you threatening me?" Hearing that, Dugu Bo grew furious. The aura of a Titled Douluo enveloped Lin Yu, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul appeared behind Dugu Bo.

"You can take it as a threat. But if Senior Dugu isn't merely serving Spirit Hall in name while remaining disloyal at heart, Miss Dugu won't come to any harm.

"Not only will she remain safe, but Spirit Hall will give her its full support. Senior Dugu should know how abundant Spirit Hall's resources are and how strong its educational resources are." Lin Yu wasn't in the slightest bit affected by Dugu Bo's aura.

"Hmph! Don't worry. I, Dugu Bo, always keep my word. If I said I'd join Spirit Hall, then I'll join Spirit Hall. I won't have second thoughts." Dugu Bo snorted and looked at Lin Yu with displeasure, but there was nothing he could do.
