Soul Bone, Titled Douluo Are Also Coming to Snatch People?!

As Nozel stated his conditions, everyone in the hall wore expressions of shock; even the members of the Martial Soul Hall had not expected him to offer such generous terms!

For a moment, all eyes turned toward Lin Fan.

Yet, what surprised them even more was that in the face of such conditions, Lin Fan remained calm.

Could it be that he did not realize how precious those things were?

"My apologies."

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Lin Fan said indifferently, "I have no interest in joining any faction."

"Huh?"

Hearing Lin Fan's refusal, everyone widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

Even Qian Ying exclaimed in surprise, "Little Fan, do you realize the importance of a Spirit Bone? If he can truly help you obtain a suitable Spirit Bone, joining the Martial Soul Hall wouldn't be a bad thing. Besides, our family has no grudge against the Martial Soul Hall."

Only Lin Qingfeng and Qian Shu sighed softly; they knew that once Lin Fan made a decision, he would never change it.

Nozel was unwilling to give up, and after a moment of contemplation, he said softly, "Young Master Lin, before I came here, my master gave me a Spirit Bone, saying that as long as you agree, it is to be gifted to you as a token of goodwill!"

"!!!"

As his voice fell, everyone's breath hitched.

A Spirit Bone!

A gift from a Title Douluo would certainly be nothing short of extraordinary.

If placed in an auction house, it might even fetch a sky-high price of over a million gold coins!

Envy surged within their hearts.

In their view, one could obtain a Spirit Bone just by taking on a master, not to mention that the master was a Title Douluo—that was a massive benefit. How could anyone refuse?

"Little brat of the Lin Clan..."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. Although it did not sound loud, it contained terrifying spirit power, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the hall.

In an instant, Nozel and Qian Ying felt an astonishing pressure and hurriedly stood up, looking toward the direction from which the spirit power originated.

Another expert had arrived!

Their spirit power was even more formidable than their own!

This left them shocked; they knew that the only people stronger than them were Title Douluos.

They had thought that a Spirit Douluo coming in person to recruit Lin Fan was already showing great sincerity, but they had not expected a Title Douluo to arrive as well.

Lin Fan, however, raised an eyebrow; he had already recognized the voice.

Dugu Bo!

That old poison master, he's so fast? How long has it been, and he's already arrived!

Swish—

Light and shadow flickered as Dugu Bo and a girl in her twenties descended from the sky, landing in the courtyard.

Scanning his surroundings, Dugu Bo remained calm. Ignoring the people from the Martial Soul Hall entirely, he walked straight into the living room and said, "Kid, come with me."

As he spoke, the girl's emerald green eyes flickered, and she looked at Lin Fan in surprise.

When she learned that someone could cure her poison, she had been filled with excitement, but she never expected that the person Dugu Bo brought her to see would be just a child!

"Poison... Poison Douluo!"

Nozel exclaimed, his expression grave as he hurriedly stood up, his eyes fixed firmly on Dugu Bo.

"You know who I am, yet you haven't scrambled away?"

Dugu Bo did not even look at Nozel; a mere Spirit Douluo naturally meant nothing in front of a true Title Douluo.

Moreover, Dugu Bo had never been on good terms with the Martial Soul Hall. If it weren't for the intervention of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family, the Martial Soul Hall would likely still be hunting him down.

"Old Senior."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "These are, after all, guests of my Lin Clan. Please, show some face."

"..."

"Hmph."

With a flick of his sleeve, Dugu Bo stopped paying attention to Nozel and sat down to the side, though his gaze remained cold and fixed on Nozel.

The message was clear: I am here now; if you don't leave and end up delaying my business, don't blame me for being impolite!

"..."

Nozel's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "Has Young Master Lin joined the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"I was born in the Heaven Dou Empire, so how could there be any talk of 'joining'?"

Lin Fan smiled lightly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I have no desire to join any faction. We can be friends, but anything else is out of the question."

"I see."

Nozel's eyes darted around, and suddenly gritting his teeth, he took out a bag sealed with gold thread and handed it to Lin Fan, saying, "My master said that even if Young Master Lin is unwilling to take him as a master, this token of goodwill must still be given."

"Oh?"

Lin Fan glanced at Nozel and knew instantly that he was lying.

He must have felt a sense of crisis upon seeing Dugu Bo arrive, deciding to offer the gift only because he feared Lin Fan might be recruited by another faction.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly; he hadn't expected that Dugu Bo would not only help him make money but also secure him such a good item.

Benefits delivered to his doorstep—it would be foolish not to take them!

Lin Fan took the bag with a calm expression and smiled lightly, "More friends mean more paths, and I am also willing to be on good terms with you."

"Then we shall take our leave."

Glancing at Dugu Bo, Nozel decided it was best to depart.

There was no help for it; his strength was inferior to Dugu Bo's.

Not to mention, Dugu Bo had already joined the Heaven Dou Empire, so under normal circumstances, they truly couldn't afford to kill him. Encountering him meant they naturally had to keep their distance.

Waving his hand, Nozel bowed slightly to Lin Fan before signaling the group from Martial Soul Hall to leave quickly.

In no time at all, only Lin Fan's family and the grandfather-granddaughter duo of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan remained in the hall.

"Kid, the guests are gone. It's time to handle my business, isn't it?"

Dugu Bo's voice was icy, yet it dealt a massive shock to Qian Ying.

She had assumed Dugu Bo was like Nozel, here to recruit Lin Fan for someone else. How could the tone of his words suggest that Dugu Bo was the one begging Lin Fan for something?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Qian Ying couldn't believe that a Titled Douluo would ever have to beg a mere Spirit Master.

Had the world changed?

Or had she gone mad?

"Old Senior, why the rush?"

Lin Fan chuckled, "You've endured it for over a decade; surely a moment longer won't hurt."

"..."

Dugu Bo stared coldly at Lin Fan and said in a deep voice, "If you can resolve the poison in my granddaughter, then whatever you want—provided I can afford it—is yours."

"But if you cannot do it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Shaking his head, Lin Fan asked, "Old Senior, are you certain you can give me anything?"

"As long as it is within my power and does not involve me or my granddaughter throwing our lives away, it is yours."

Dugu Bo's resolute promise stirred a sense of gratitude in Dugu Yan.

"Grandfather, there's no need for this."

Dugu Yan said softly, "It's only some toxins; I can endure it."

"You may be able to endure it, but your grandfather does not wish to see you suffer."

Lin Fan cut Dugu Yan off directly, his gaze turning fierce as he looked at her.

I worked so hard to get a promise out of Dugu Bo, and you want to ruin it?

I was originally planning to help you evolve your Martial Soul normally, but since you're acting like this, I might as well take advantage of you and make you suffer a little!

His eyes rolled, and a plan to mess with Dugu Yan instantly formed in Lin Fan's mind!
