Yu Tianheng's mouth hung agape, his pupils contracting violently as he stared blankly at Dugu Yan, who stood inches away with a mocking expression.

She... how could she know?

Once this thought took root, it spread like wild weeds.

Yu Tianheng wanted to refute, wanted to loudly demand why Dugu Yan was slandering him.

But as he met Dugu Yan's gaze, he found he could not even utter a complete sentence.

The shame of having his disguise stripped away in public, of having the darkest, most utilitarian side of his heart exposed to the light, left him standing there as if petrified.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort rang out, carrying undisguised pleasure and satisfaction.

Although Dugu Bo stood several paces away, as a Title Douluo, how could his hearing be anything but sharp?

He had heard Dugu Yan's whisper clearly and distinctly!

"Good!

Good!

Good!"

Dugu Bo felt a surge of exhilaration, his gaze toward his granddaughter growing increasingly satisfied.

That's right!

This was the granddaughter of Dugu Bo!

Decisive, unburdened by emotional ties, and certainly not blinded by the flowery words of this boy!

Dugu Bo flashed forward, placing himself directly between the two.

He completely severed Yu Tianheng's line of sight toward Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo looked down at the crestfallen Yu Tianheng from his superior height, a sinister sneer curling his lips:

"Yu Tianheng, for the sake of your grandfather Yu Yuanzhen, this old man will not make things difficult for you today."

"But from this day forward, stay away from my Yanyan!"

"I have long found that self-righteous stench of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan unbearable."

"You want to use my influence to scramble for power and profit?"

"Do you even deserve to?!"

Having said that, Dugu Bo did not give Yu Tianheng any chance to defend himself, not even bothering to glance at the dumbstruck committee members in the distance.

"Yanyan, let's go!"

With a wave of his large hand, a dense Jade Phosphorus Poison Mist instantly enveloped the grandfather and granddaughter.

Whoosh!

A streak of green light shot into the sky, vanishing into the depths of the Sunset Forest in the blink of an eye, leaving the group behind in a state of utter disarray.

High in the sky, the gale howled.

Dugu Bo flew at high speed with Dugu Yan, his mood more relaxed than it had ever been.

Shaking off the burden of Yu Tianheng was, to him, an unexpected joy.

Not to mention the boy's impure motives for approaching Yanyan, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him was a massive hidden danger.

Yanyan now possessed the Ice and Fire Golden Body, had absorbed a seventy-thousand-year spirit ring, and even harbored the mysterious "Senior Yu Nan" within her.

Any one of these secrets, if leaked, would be enough to trigger an earthquake in the spirit master world.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had too many eyes and ears, and they acted with arrogance.

If they discovered any clues, there was no telling what kind of covetousness might arise.

Even as a Title Douluo, facing that old dragon and the siege of an entire clan would be a troublesome affair.

Cutting ties cleanly now was for the best!

Meanwhile, within Dugu Yan's Sea of Consciousness.

Above that purple-gold ocean, Yu Nan's massive dragon body coiled in the void, watching everything that had transpired outside, and nodded slightly.

"Well done."

Yu Nan's voice echoed in Dugu Yan's mind, carrying a hint of approval:

"That boy named Yu Tianheng has a crooked heart and a narrow perspective."

"Keeping him by your side would only become a stumbling block on your path of cultivation, and he might even ruin great things out of jealousy."

"Casting him aside is the first step in your journey toward becoming a powerhouse."

Hearing Yu Nan's praise, Dugu Yan felt a surge of joy and quickly replied respectfully in her heart:

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior.

If not for you bestowing such formidable spiritual power upon me, allowing me to perceive the impurities within his emotions, I fear I would still be kept in the dark."

Yu Nan offered a faint smile, saying nothing more.

His gaze passed through Dugu Yan's eyes, looking down at the mountains and rivers flashing by below, while his mind calculated an entirely different matter.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

According to the original timeline, this was not only a stage for the younger generation of soul masters to make a name for themselves, but also a slaughterhouse where major powers vied for supremacy.

Given Dugu Yan's current strength, participating in the tournament would be an absolute dimension-crushing blow.

A Soul King above level fifty.

A fourth soul ring of one hundred thousand years, and a fifth soul ring of seventy thousand years.

(Because Yu Nan only sacrificed half, meaning 100,000 years of origin, to Dugu Yan, her fourth ring is currently only one hundred thousand years.)

Once this configuration was revealed, even the so-called "Golden Generation" of Martial Soul Hall would likely wet their pants in fear.

However...

The risks were equally immense.

"The tree that stands above the forest will surely be destroyed by the wind."

Yu Nan pondered inwardly.

Although Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo, he still appeared somewhat thin against a true behemoth like Martial Soul Hall.

Especially Bibi Dong, and her subordinates, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo.

If they were to see Dugu Yan's heaven-defying soul ring configuration, they would inevitably guess that she possessed a great opportunity.

They might even associate it with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or a divine inheritance.

Given Martial Soul Hall's modus operandi of "if I cannot have it, I will destroy it," Dugu Yan's situation would become extremely perilous.

Dugu Bo was a lone wolf; this was both his advantage and his disadvantage.

The advantage was that he had nothing to lose, and if he truly fought to the death, it would be easy for him to take a few people down with him.

Therefore, major powers were unwilling to provoke him lightly.

But the disadvantage was that he lacked the foundation, manpower, and influence to protect Dugu Yan comprehensively.

Once Martial Soul Hall made up its mind to move against Dugu Yan, it would be difficult for Dugu Bo alone to keep her safe.

"It seems I cannot rush back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

A flash of sharp light crossed Yu Nan's massive dragon eyes.

Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy had a prestigious name, it was filled with noble children.

Moreover, it had been infiltrated by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and Martial Soul Hall until it was like a sieve; secrets simply could not be kept there.

Letting Dugu Yan wander around such a place with a seventy-thousand-year soul ring was no different from a sheep walking into a tiger's den.

"I must change my approach."

"Before participating in the tournament, I must find this girl a tougher backer.

Or... have her join a team that can demonstrate its strength during the tournament.

And, to a certain extent, avoid being directly targeted by Martial Soul Hall."

Yu Nan's mind quickly flicked through the major powers and academies on the Douluo Continent.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

No, that old fox Ning Fengzhi was too shrewd, and although the Sword and Bone Douluo were strong, they might not be willing to fight Martial Soul Hall to the death for an outsider.

Shrek Academy?

That was Tang San's territory, and although Tang Hao was watching from the shadows, seeking refuge there now involved too many variables.

Yu Nan pondered for a moment, his mind already made up.

"No rush, there is still some time before the tournament begins."

"During this period, I will first have the Old Poison Freak take the girl for special training to fully digest this surging power, and incidentally, arrange those few soul bones."

A must-have for any transmigrator: the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!

"As for the backer and the academy..."

A meaningful curve tugged at the corner of Yu Nan's mouth.

"Once our strength is sufficient, we will be the greatest backer ourselves."

"But before that, perhaps I can take a trip to that place..."
