Third Realm!

Winter had arrived, and the weather was growing increasingly frigid.

As soon as the winter break began, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, that pair of best friends, each returned to their respective homes.

Ding Yumian went back to school, leaving Lan Yu all alone in the apartment.

"The cooldown period has ended; it is time for me to descend upon the Douluo Continent!"

As soon as Lan Yu finished speaking, he began to control the stars of the Summoning Element.

Following the appearance of the moonlight star trail, Lan Yu was swallowed by that gate of moonlight and vanished from the room.

Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Lan Yu had returned here once again.

"Damn? Did you set a fixed anchor point for me here?" Lan Yu took a deep breath. "It's still a one-month duration. Time to go poach in the Mandarin Duck Pot."

The medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot that remained in his body had not been completely refined.

This time, in addition to using the Mandarin Duck Pot to continue refining the remaining medicinal power, he also intended to consume the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

It is worth mentioning that ever since he consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, his Light Element magic had naturally developed a certain degree of fire resistance, just like himself.

Although it was not true immunity to fire or ice, he now possessed a certain resistance against attacks of these two attributes.

He took the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew out from the storage space built into his Summoning Element. It was an immortal herb with a body of emerald green, yet it featured three snow-white leaves at its center.

In the middle of those snow-white leaves were a few droplets of water, looking just like dew left behind in the early morning.

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew!

"Enhancing my spiritual power will depend on you."

After speaking, Lan Yu held the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew up before him. With just a slight tilt, those few droplets of water followed the leaf stems and dripped into his mouth.

The moment those droplets completely left the leaves, the entire Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew withered instantly, turning into fly ash in the blink of an eye.

Afterward, Lan Yu walked to a flat patch of ground, assumed a lotus position with his palms facing upward, and began to refine the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

After half a day had passed, Lan Yu finally finished consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light flickering within them.

"My spiritual power reached the third realm directly? Not bad at all." Lan Yu clenched his fists; the thrill of becoming stronger was something he couldn't get enough of.

His spiritual power had originally just been at the threshold of the first realm, but after consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, he had leaped straight into the third realm.

However, compared to Ding Yumian, a Psychic Calamity Victim at the sixth realm, his third realm was nothing at all.

Of course, his Summoning Element cultivation had also broken through to the Intermediate level as a result.

This meant that he could use the disgusting mechanics of the Summoning Element to contract a suitable contract beast.

Stripping himself bare once again, Lan Yu finished his warm-up exercises on the shore and then leaped down. He didn't splash a single drop of water—a perfect score.

Lan Yu soaked in the hot spring until noon the next day.

After putting on his clothes, he took out the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

He pondered for a moment; consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum right now might not yield the most ideal results.

Once the main campus assessment concluded and he took first place to enter the Three-Step Tower, consuming this immortal herb then might allow him to skip using a Galaxy Vein.

After all, that thing cost over a hundred million, and he couldn't afford it at all.

Putting the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum away, he began to practice controlling the Intermediate Summoning Element stars beside the Mandarin Duck Pot.

Without realizing it, he practiced his control until nightfall.

At the same time, inside a cave.

"Fine, take me to your herb garden, and do not disturb me for a day." Dusting the dirt off his body, Tang San calmly agreed to Dugu Bo's request.

Dugu Bo scanned Tang San from head to toe, then turned and walked toward the cave exit. "Follow me."

The old man and the youth left the cave one after the other.

After walking out, Tang San realized that this was a dense forest, and they were currently standing on a hill about five hundred meters high.

It was currently night, making it impossible to see much of the scenery.

Dugu Bo climbed the mountain path as if walking on flat ground. He appeared to be moving slowly, but in reality, every step he took covered over ten meters, and the distance of every step was identical.

Seeing this, Tang San hurriedly gathered his soul power to follow behind Dugu Bo; he certainly didn't think he could escape from the hands of a Titled Douluo.

Soon, Tang San followed Dugu Bo to a mountaintop.

Upon arriving here, Tang San couldn't help but be startled by the terrain before him.

It was actually an inverted cone-shaped mountain hollow. The mountaintop where they stood was merely the edge of this hollow. Thick heat rose from within, feeling very humid and carrying a faint, distinct scent of sulfur.

"A hot spring?" Tang San said in surprise.

Dugu Bo glanced at him. "Kid, you certainly know quite a bit."

Tang San replied, "I wouldn't be unable to even smell a hot spring, would I? This is a good place; it's suitable for the growth of certain special medicinal herbs."

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo suddenly let out a cold snort.

Tang San was somewhat puzzled. What kind of madness had seized this old poison master now?

"I don't know why, but a barrier suddenly appeared here, sealing off my herb garden. I've tried every method I can think of, but I can't break through it," Dugu Bo said.

Hearing this, a strange look crossed Tang San's face. Then why did you call me here? Surely you don't expect me to open it for you?

"You don't actually think I have some way to undo this barrier, do you?" Tang San asked.

Dugu Bo let out a weird laugh. "Kid, aren't you usually so full of yourself? I'd like to see what methods you have to break it."

Tang San couldn't help but roll his eyes. "If a Title Douluo like you has exhausted every trick in the book and still can't break the barrier, how could I possibly open it?"

"..."

Lan Yu, who was inside practicing star-path control, naturally sensed the arrival of the people outside the Mandarin Duck Pot.

"Could it be Dugu Bo and Tang San?" Lan Yu raised an eyebrow.

Fortunately, the moment he stepped back into the Mandarin Duck Pot, he realized his Summoning Element possessed such an ability.

Otherwise, the moment Lan Yu sensed someone approaching, he would have already fled just like Han the Old Demon.

He didn't believe that a weak Intermediate Mage like himself could escape from under the nose of a Title Douluo.

Even if Dugu Bo was at the very bottom of the hierarchy among Title Douluo.

Knowing they couldn't get in, Lan Yu continued to practice his star-path control as if no one else were around.

Little brat, oh little brat, without the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and without the immortal herbs, let's see if you can still become a god.

He had read plenty of fanfiction where Tang San was bullied, and of course, there were those where the author took him as a disciple the moment he entered Notting Academy.

It had to be said that Tang San's ability to be a hypocrite had a lot to do with the environment he grew up in.

Growing up in a state of extreme emotional neglect, with a father who didn't care and a teacher who taught him all the wrong things, it was only logical that such a "talent" would be cultivated.

Lan Yu didn't want to expose himself just yet. At the very least, he needed to reach full cultivation in all elements at the Super Level before he would have any confidence in challenging the God Realm of the Douluo I timeline.

As for the God Realms of Douluo III and IV?

Forget it. Without five Forbidden Spells, he really couldn't afford to provoke them.

The combat power in this series just gets more ridiculous with every generation; it's absolutely absurd!
