Dugu Bo Learns of Su Ming

"We surrender."

Su Ming saw Yu Tianheng shatter the ice seal and was about to pour Lightning Power into the third soul skill "Mysterious Ice Storm" above Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's heads, preparing to strike them with lightning again.

However, upon hearing Yu Tianheng surrender, he stopped.

Su Yun also looked towards the host on the stage after hearing the announcement of victory.

Su Ming naturally dispelled the third soul skill "Mysterious Ice Storm" above Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's heads.

After a moment of thought, Su Ming summoned his Martial Soul again and released two clouds that flew towards Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's heads, starting to rain and help them heal their injuries and recover their Soul Power.

On the other side, after Su Ming released his soul skill, the frozen Dugu Yan fell down, and Yu Tianheng quickly went to support her.

After helping Dugu Yan up, Yu Tianheng felt a drop of rain fall on him, followed by a sparse drizzle.

The two felt the light rain falling on them helping to heal their injuries and restore their Soul Power. They looked up at the two clouds above their heads in shock, then looked at Su Ming.

At this moment, Su Ming walked forward, condensing large masses of water in each hand, supporting them with Soul Power, and flying them towards Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's mouths respectively.

Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng saw Su Ming walk forward and feed them large masses of water. Neither of them dodged and swallowed directly, as Su Ming had just used his Martial Soul to help them recover their injuries and Soul Power.

Swallowing the water, Yu Tianheng felt his injuries and vitality rapidly recovering. Without a word, he sat cross-legged on the stage and began to refine it quickly. Dugu Yan on the other side did the same.

Seeing this, Su Ming did not disturb them and waited quietly, as he still needed to create confusion for Dugu Yan later.

After Yu Tianheng finished refining, his injuries were completely healed, and his Soul Power had recovered about a quarter.

Opening his eyes, Yu Tianheng thought about Su Ming's Martial Soul. It could assist others, recover, and attack, and it was area-of-effect. It seemed he had not lost unfairly.

Yu Tianheng stood up and thanked Su Ming.

"You are very strong, and I did not lose unfairly. However, I will not give up. I will surpass you sooner or later."

Su Ming accepted it calmly and said, "You are also very strong. I hope you will become even stronger in the All Continent Soul Master Elite Tournament two years from now. We will have a rematch then."

Yu Tianheng's eyes immediately became firm, and he nodded at Su Ming.

"I definitely will."

At this moment, Dugu Yan, who had also finished refining, woke up. She stood up and said to Su Ming.

"You are very strong. You are the first person who made me unable to even use my poison. I will always remember today's humiliation. One day, I will make you fall under my snake venom."

"Tianheng, let's go."

Saying that, Dugu Yan turned and pulled Yu Tianheng away.

Seeing this, Su Ming thought, You can't leave! I still have questions for you. If you leave, who will I ask about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? He quickly called out to the departing Dugu Yan.

"Wait."

Dugu Yan stopped and turned around, looking at Su Ming as if asking if he had anything else.

At this moment, Su Ming said with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty.

"That Dugu Yan, after my observation, you seem to be poisoned."

Dugu Yan's expression changed from its original one to one of disbelief.

"What did you say? I'm poisoned? Are you kidding me? I'm a master of poison myself, how could I not know if I'm poisoned? Are you making fun of me?"

Su Ming quickly explained.

"I'm not joking. After my observation, you are indeed poisoned. Your hair is purple, your eyes are green, and even your fingernails are grayish-green."

"Either you are poisoned alone, but your grandfather is a Titled Douluo, and he wouldn't fail to notice this. So, if you want to solve your poisoning problem, come to Shrek Academy to find me."

After speaking, Su Ming turned and left, giving Dugu Yan no chance to question him.

Walking down from the soul fighting stage, Su Ming thought, My hesitant and uncertain expression just now was 100 points, haha. This time, she should ask her grandfather, right?

After tonight, I will cultivate diligently in the academy and inform Flender that I will be in seclusion for more than ten days to avoid them worrying.

At this moment, Wang Sheng, who had already come down from the audience, ran down and was waiting in the Soul Master passage.

As soon as he saw Su Ming walk out, he ran over with a look of joy.

"Brother Ming, you were so cool just now! After using your third soul skill, you flashed over and froze them in two moves, then flashed out again! You were really awesome."

Su Ming's expression remained unchanged, but he was extremely pleased inwardly, as who wouldn't want to be praised?

The two walked out of the 2v2 competition area. That evening, Su Ming and Wang Sheng each registered for 1v1 matches. After winning a few times, they returned to the academy.

Back at the detached villa prepared for him by the academy, Su Ming washed up and sat cross-legged on the bed. At this moment, Su Ming was still a little nervous and excited, wondering if Dugu Bo would come tonight.

After thinking for a while, Su Ming stopped thinking and began to cultivate. In the morning, Su Ming woke up from his cultivation and found that no one was in the room, nor was there any note left. He knew that Dugu Bo had not come.

For the next two days, Su Ming strolled around the campus in the morning, taught Wang Sheng Tai Chi when he met him, cultivated diligently in the afternoon, and fought in the Great Soul Arena at night. This continued for two days until the evening of the third day.

On the other side, in Heaven Dou, Dugu Manor.

For the past two days, Dugu Yan would check if her grandfather was home every afternoon after school. He wasn't there for two consecutive days, until the third day.

As usual, after school, Dugu Yan entered the door shouting, "Grandpa." She called twice, and no one responded. Dugu Yan thought her grandfather hadn't returned yet, so she stopped calling and pushed the door open.

Dugu Bo walked out with a kindly expression, looking at Dugu Yan as she entered the manor. "Is that Yan Yan back? You rushed back in such a hurry, did someone bully you? Tell Grandpa, and I'll deal with him for you."

Dugu Yan leaned forward, took Dugu Bo's arm, and sat down with him on a lounge chair in the courtyard. She then asked, "Grandpa, do you know that Blue Tyrant Academy has changed its name to Shrek Academy?"

Dugu Bo said, not understanding, "Of course I know. What, did someone at Shrek Academy bully you?"

Dugu Yan knew her grandfather's temper and quickly explained, "No, Grandpa. A couple of days ago, Tian Heng and I were training in a real combat match at the Soul Fighting Arena and encountered a student from Shrek Academy named Su Ming."

"Shrek Academy was originally founded by Flender, one of the Golden Iron Triangle. Blue Tyrant Academy was founded by Liu Erlong, another of the Golden Iron Triangle, so they merged."

"The student we met today, Su Ming, was the strongest in his age group at the original Shrek Academy."

"Tian Heng and I happened to have a 2v2 Gambling Match with two other students, Wang Sheng and another."

"He was really strong. He immediately suppressed Tian Heng. I first used poison to force Wang Sheng back, preparing to help Tian Heng deal with Su Ming."

"Who knew that with one combo, before I could even use my poison, he had already knocked me down."

"After it was over, he asked me if I knew I was poisoned."

"I was quite shocked at the time, and then he told me that my eyes and hair had problems, and that I was indeed poisoned."

"Is that true, Grandpa? Am I really poisoned?"
