Heading to Heaven Dou

Looking at Su Yun Tao before him, Yang Wudi could hardly believe that all of this was actually real.

After a long silence, Su Yun Tao spoke up: "Clan Head Yang, I believe you understand by now that this is absolutely not a trap set by Martial Soul Hall."

Yang Wudi let out a long sigh, barely managing to suppress the shock in his heart.

"Indeed. If I were Bibi Dong, I would never let someone as talented as little friend Su come here to take such a risk."

Su Yun Tao smiled slightly: "Clan Head Yang truly has extraordinary insight."

Yang Wudi poured himself a cup of tea and downed it in one gulp: "Little friend Su, I truly don't know how you cultivate. After meeting you, I realize that I have likely lived all these years in vain!"

Su Yun Tao said slowly: "Clan Head Yang, my cultivation speed is not actually that fast. The reason I possess the cultivation of a Soul King now is because I borrowed external force."

"External force!" A sharp glint appeared in Yang Wudi's eyes: "Could it be that you consumed immortal herbs, which is why you reached the Soul King realm at such an age!"

"Clan Head Yang is indeed sharp-eyed. I did consume immortal herbs, and more than one at that. It is precisely because of this that I have the cultivation of a Soul King today."

"Immortal herbs! And more than one!" Yang Wudi quickly asked: "Could it be that you have discovered a treasure land on earth?"

Su Yun Tao felt like covering his face; speaking too quickly was indeed a bad idea. With Yang Wudi's experience as a veteran of the world and his extensive theoretical knowledge of herbs, he could extract so much information from a single sentence.

"Ahem." Su Yun Tao said sternly: "Clan Head Yang, your two doubts should be cleared up by now, right?"

Yang Wudi nodded slightly: "Little friend Su, I do indeed believe now that you are not a member of Martial Soul Hall, and that you truly know the whereabouts of the Aromatic Silk Beauty."

"Since that is the case, let us set off for the Heaven Dou Empire immediately. As long as you can detoxify Dugu Bo, the Aromatic Silk Beauty will certainly be delivered into your hands."

Yang Wudi quickly added: "Little friend Su, I still have one doubt: do you know the true purpose of the Aromatic Silk Beauty?"

Su Yun Tao replied calmly: "The Aromatic Silk Beauty is immune to all poisons; possessing it allows one to neutralize a hundred toxins."

Yang Wudi said gravely: "If that is the case, if you have the Aromatic Silk Beauty, why not just give it directly to Dugu Bo!"

Su Yun Tao said in a deep voice: "Clan Head Yang, because I know that one Aromatic Silk Beauty can save Dugu Bo, and perhaps even save this generation of his Jade Phosphor Snake Family, but it cannot save their family for all eternity!"

"Compared to this single Aromatic Silk Beauty, they need a prescription more—a prescription that can permanently resolve the suffering of the Jade Phosphor Snake Family!"

Yang Wudi nodded solemnly, but then asked in confusion: "Little friend Su, I wonder what kind of friendship you have with Dugu Bo that you would go to such lengths to help him."

Su Yun Tao said slowly: "I can only say that I owe him a great favor, and everything I am doing is to repay that debt."

Yang Wudi still had questions in his heart, but he did not continue to speak; he clearly realized that he seemed to have asked a bit too much.

Two carriages departed from the gates of the Breaking Clan, preparing to bypass the Star Dou Great Forest to the northwest before turning toward the northeast.

In truth, this route was extremely long and far from being as convenient as the other path, but the other main road required passing near Martial Soul City, so Yang Wudi naturally chose to take the detour.

After a dusty journey, Su Yun Tao and Yang Wudi finally arrived at Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, two days later.

Su Yun Tao did not choose to enter the city, but instead headed toward a large mountain beside Heaven Dou City.

"Little friend Su, what is the meaning of this?" Yang Wudi inquired.

"Nothing, it's just that we must go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy first."

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Yang Wudi's expression turned strange: "Could it be that Dugu Bo still has the leisure to work as a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"No." Su Yun Tao waved his hand: "We are going there to find his granddaughter, Dugu Yan."

"Little friend Su, we should just go directly to find Dugu Bo. Why look for his granddaughter, Dugu Yan?"

Su Yun Tao said calmly: "Naturally, to have his granddaughter lead us to him."

Yang Wudi stood there like a wooden chicken. He touched his own face, realizing that all of this was actually true.

"Little friend Su, what did you just say?" Yang Wudi asked, feeling uncertain.

Su Yun Tao remained expressionless; as long as he wasn't embarrassed, then others would be the ones to feel awkward.

"Have his granddaughter lead us to him."

Yang Wudi was filled with disbelief: "Little friend Su, what kind of joke are you playing! You have such a good relationship with Dugu Bo and owe him a great favor, how could you not know where he is!"

Su Yun Tao waved his hand: "I really don't know where he is. To be honest, I have never even met him."

Yang Wudi was dumbfounded. He discovered that this little Soul King, Su Yun Tao, always found ways to leave him, a Soul Douluo, completely baffled.

"Alright, Clan Head Yang, let's go handle the real business first."

Yang Wudi said in a deep voice: "Little friend Su, you don't even know Dugu Bo, so how can I believe that everything you said is true?"

Su Yun Tao smiled: "Clan Head Yang, many things seem incredible, but they are actually real, because sometimes reality does not require logic."

Upon hearing this, a look of contemplation appeared in Yang Wudi's eyes; he was clearly analyzing the various situations.

"Alright, Clan Head Yang, as a Soul Douluo by my side, are you still afraid that I might go back on my word?"

Yang Wudi felt his heart settle upon hearing this. In truth, the initiative was in his hands; if things really went south, he could simply demand his payment halfway through detoxifying Dugu Bo.

Who would dare refuse to pay medical fees while on the operating table?

Yang Wudi had enough confidence that as long as Su Yun Tao possessed the Aromatic Silk Beauty, he would be able to obtain it!

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was only about twenty kilometers away from Heaven Dou City.

With a mountain and a lake, nestled against the hills and water, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the nominal top Soul Master academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. Whether in terms of scale or environment, it was a top-tier existence on the Douluo Continent.

The grounds of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy covered dozens of hectares. In addition to the hundreds of teachers and students, there were thousands of commoners serving them.

Not only that, to protect the Royal Academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had an army of about fifty thousand soldiers stationed not far away.

The facilities at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were very complete, and the massive mountain range behind it was also under the academy's jurisdiction, used for the students' training.

It was just a pity that the atmosphere inside the academy was far inferior to the renowned Star Luo Royal Academy. Within the Star Luo Royal Academy, strength was the only standard for assessment, and even the succession to the Star Luo Empire's throne involved brothers killing each other—strength was supreme. Compared to the Star Luo Royal Academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was truly lacking.
