Not far from the forest.
There were sounds of a battle between a soul beast and a soul master.
"It seems Dugu Yan has successfully reached level 40 and is currently hunting a soul beast."
After Yu Xiaolong broke through to level 40.
His sensory perception had clearly improved.
Having inherited the traits of the twelve zodiac dragons, the Sagittarius Star Dragon.
His soul power was growing at a geometric rate.
He was waiting.
Just as Dugu Yan defeated a snake-type soul beast.
And began to absorb the soul ring.
The opportunity had arrived!
Swish!
The instant a sound rang out from the jungle.
Dugu Yan had already opened her eyes.
Unfortunately, although her reaction was fast.
It was already too late!
"Boom!"
"First Soul Skill, Thunderbolt Rocket Launcher!"
Boom!
The next second.
Dugu Yan was struck in the abdomen.
Her entire body flew backward.
She slammed heavily against a massive, towering tree.
Before she could react.
The next second.
She only felt a dark shadow loom over her.
"Urgh—"
Following that, Dugu Yan felt her neck being tightened by someone.
Even breathing became extremely difficult.
Creak...
This was the sound of her neck being gripped, causing her muscles to contract.
She felt as if she were going to die.
"Save..."
Dugu Yan's face turned deathly pale.
She tried hard to force words out of her mouth.
"Presumptuous! Spare my Yan'er's life!"
Just as Yu Xiaolong was about to kill Dugu Yan.
A sinister voice rang out.
Immediately after.
A phantom of a green snake soul avatar.
Suddenly lunged out.
Yu Xiaolong was startled.
"Fire!"
An arrow flew out.
Following that, Yu Xiaolong vanished into the darkness.
"Yan'er, are you alright?"
"It is all Grandfather's fault!"
Dugu Bo appeared.
He checked his granddaughter's injuries with great anxiety.
Fortunately, she was still hanging on by a thread.
Dugu Bo finally began to take notice.
It was that slip of paper from just a moment ago.
"Tang San?"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened.
Dugu Yan also stirred awake: "Grandfather, that seemed to be a hidden weapon just now..."
She spoke to her grandfather about Tang San's proficiency in using hidden weapons.
"Good, good, good! What kind of damn Shrek Academy is this!"
"Daring to hurt my Yan-yan, I see you are courting death!"
A cold, venomous aura spread across Dugu Bo's face.
He would have his revenge for his granddaughter!
Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San had just defeated a thousand-year spirit beast alongside the members of the Shrek Team.
Rustle...
An emergency situation suddenly unfolded.
"Who is Tang San!"
A black mist permeated the forest.
A white-haired old man clad in black-green armor.
Descended from the sky.
Beneath his feet.
Rings of spirit energy.
Rapidly expanded.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
"Nine spirit rings!?"
Upon seeing this.
Tang San could not help but shrink his pupils.
Beside him, Yu Xiaogang, wearing black clothes with a flat-top haircut.
Immediately shielded Tang San behind him: "It is a Titled Douluo!"
"With such potent poison gas, you must be the Poison Douluo, Senior Dugu Bo, right?"
Flender, standing to the side, saw his expression darken.
"I am Tang San." Tang San took a deep breath.
He stepped forward.
"Hmph! Since you know my name, then go to your death."
Seeing the young child before him.
The Poison Douluo's eyes narrowed.
But the very next second, a fierce glint appeared in his gaze.
Palm facing upward.
Like a bolt of lightning.
He struck out toward Tang San.
Puchi!
A mouthful of blood sprayed from Tang San's mouth.
His entire body was sent flying backward for dozens of meters.
Then, his frame crashed heavily to the ground.
He clutched his chest.
His expression was ferocious.
"My internal organs are in agony..."
He wore a look of intense pain.
"San!"
"Third Brother!"
The Shrek group rushed toward him.
"Senior Dugu Bo, why are you doing this?"
Yu Xiaogang was on the verge of a breakdown.
Tang San was the only straw he had left to prove whether his theories held any truth.
If he were to die at the hands of this Title Douluo today.
He did not know what he would do in the future!
"Daring to harm my granddaughter Yan Yan, there is only one outcome, and that is death!"
Dugu Bo sneered.
Murderous intent was laid bare in his eyes.
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting!"
Flender stepped forward.
Yu Xiaogang was nearly collapsing.
He had no idea how Tang San could have provoked a Title Douluo.
"Still talking?"
"Form the Trinity!"
Liu Erlong followed up as well.
The three of them stood together.
"You all, take Tang San and leave this place quickly!"
Flender shouted.
The members of the Shrek Team were dumbfounded at this moment.
Their hearts were in complete chaos.
Under the resistance of Yu Xiaogang and the other two.
They fought while retreating.
Yu Xiaolong did not know that the current Tang San was facing a life-or-death crisis.
Right now.
He needed a bow.
Heaven Dou Imperial City.
He carried all the materials and walked into a blacksmith shop.
A slovenly old man with a headband tied around his forehead: "Master, can you forge a bow for me?"
"What is it for?"
"A divine bow that surpasses Tier 9."
As he spoke.
Yu Xiaolong placed the precious divine stones and metals provided by the system, along with the forging blueprints, in front of him.
"This is..."
The middle-aged blacksmith looked at the blueprints and the rare, precious metals.
His mechanical movements came to a halt.
His gaze lingered on the blueprints.
His pupils instantly constricted.
The dull expression on his face cleared up in an instant.
"This is..."
Yu Xiaolong said: "Master, just tell me, can you make it?"
"I can... I can!"
The slovenly-looking blacksmith.
Nodded his head.
This answer.
Surprised Yu Xiaolong somewhat.
He had originally assumed that such a divine weapon would require a top-tier blacksmith.
To be able to forge it.
He never imagined that in the Imperial City, there would be a blacksmith.
Capable of completing such craftsmanship.
Yu Xiaolong ultimately attributed it to the perfection of the blueprints and materials.
Shrek Academy.
"No, the Young Master's injuries are too severe!"
"We must bring the Master back!"
"Xiaogang, can you contact the Clear Sky Douluo?"
Inside the room.
Several people wore expressions of extreme anxiety.
That night.
A disheveled old man arrived at Shrek Academy.
"What happened to Xiaosan!?"
"He was wounded by the Poison Douluo and is suffering from a grave poison."
Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, spoke cautiously.
The Clear Sky Douluo had entrusted his son to him.
Now, the man's son had been injured to this extent.
He felt a sense of dread in his heart.
Fortunately, Tang Hao had no time to concern himself with them.
Instead, he focused on healing his son as quickly as possible.
Half an hour later.
Only then did Tang Hao stand up and take a moment to speak with those in the room.
"Master Xiaogang, your younger brother is just like you—both of you are capable of raising excellent students."
"My younger brother?"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned by these words.
His own younger brother was none other than Yu Xiaolong!
The two had been separated for a long time.
He had almost forgotten that he even had a younger brother.
"Yes, I heard news of him while in the Imperial City."
"Teacher Yu Xiaolong has taken in an incredible disciple, rumored to be a genius student from the Skywater Academy."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this.
Yu Xiaogang's expression shifted.
Skywater Academy.
That was one of the Five Elements Academies of the Heaven Dou Empire.
His own good-for-nothing brother had actually managed to take a genius from Skywater Academy as a disciple.
How did he manage to do that!?
