Tainuo Seeks Revenge for His Son, Dugu Yan's Transformation

Tainuo Seeks Revenge for His Son, Dugu Yan's Transformation

Strength Clan, residence.

Tailong returned home and entered the main hall, intending to greet his father.

Instead, he found the atmosphere in the hall somewhat heavy.

Just as he was puzzled, a voice rang out.

"You still have the nerve to come back?"

Tailong froze and looked up. The speaker was his father, Tainuo.

"Father, what do you mean by that? This is my home. Why shouldn't I come back?" Tailong asked in confusion.

"Hmph, I already know what happened to you at the academy today."

"Why didn't you come back and tell me immediately?"

Tainuo frowned and spoke displeasedly.

"My, Tainuo's, son was beaten by a new student? I can't swallow this insult. Tomorrow, I'll take you to reason with that brat!"

He clenched his hand into a fist and spoke angrily.

"Old man, how did you find out?" Tailong's expression changed upon hearing this, and he asked in astonishment.

He swore that he definitely had not told anyone.

If he had truly wanted his family to take revenge on Li Fei, he should have rushed back to the Strength Clan the moment he lost instead of turning around and going to the academy infirmary.

"Hmph, the Strength Clan has plenty of informants!"

"You may not have planned to tell me, but as long as someone paid attention, I would naturally find out!"

Tainuo snorted coldly.

"Dad, you absolutely can't go, or I'll be utterly humiliated!"

"I was the one who challenged him first. If he defeated me, it only means I wasn't strong enough."

"Besides, I already said in front of everyone that I wouldn't tell my family about this. If you take me there for revenge tomorrow, wouldn't that prove I came home to complain? You'd be openly slapping me in the face! How am I supposed to hold my head up after that?"

Tailong's face flushed red as he resisted fiercely.

"Hehe, you foolish boy. That brat must know you have a powerful background. Either he has no background at all, or his background isn't as strong as ours, so he deliberately provoked you into saying that!"

"If I hadn't heard about this, I could have ignored it. But now that I know, I can't pretend nothing happened!"

"It's your business if you don't want to tell us or have us avenge you. But now that I know, it's my business to avenge you and establish the Strength Clan's prestige!"

"In this world, everything depends on strength!"

"As long as you become powerful enough, what are a few rumors worth? Everyone will naturally keep their mouths shut!"

"That settles it. Tomorrow, I'll personally take you to seek justice from that brat. Your old man will teach that ignorant little punk a proper lesson!"

"He dared to beat my, Tainuo's, son? He's got some nerve!"

Tainuo snorted heavily. "If your grandfather found out, he'd beat you too! Luckily, he happened to be away and won't return until tomorrow."

Seeing how determined his father was, Tailong could only feel helpless.

This could not be blamed on him. His father insisted on going.

Still, the thought of teaching Li Fei a lesson made him feel somewhat better.

After all, being beaten so badly by someone who had not even awakened a Martial Soul had left him with a bellyful of resentment.

Let this matter develop as it would.

Everything would follow its natural course.

"Grandfather, why did you suddenly call me back so late at night?"

Inside Dugu Bo's residence, a beautiful young girl with short blue-violet hair complained unhappily.

Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy was not far from her home, she had just finished training at this hour and had planned to take a bath before sleeping at the academy.

Then, she had suddenly been brought back by the family butler.

Besides, she had wanted to go on a date with her boyfriend, Yu Tianheng, and do something intimate.

"Yanyan, don't be angry. I naturally have something important to tell you if I called you back this late."

"You must listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you."

Dugu Bo pulled Dugu Yan into the room and set up a barrier with Soul Power, cutting off all sound from inside and outside. One could never be too careful.

If word got out that experts in poison had suffered poison backlash and been afflicted with snake venom, it would be utterly humiliating.

"What is it?" Seeing how serious her grandfather looked, Dugu Yan realized the importance of the matter. She put away her complaints and displeasure and became serious as well.

"Actually, you've been poisoned." Dugu Bo revealed the truth he had hidden from Dugu Yan for so many years.

Dugu Yan's face immediately turned pale, and she found it difficult to accept.

"Your green pupils are the result of the poison running too deep. But compared to me, your poisoning isn't much."

"Originally, I never planned to tell you in this lifetime. I wanted you to live carefree and without worry. But tonight, I found an antidote for this poison. I took it myself, and the effect was excellent. The poison that had troubled us for years was completely removed."

Dugu Bo explained slowly.

"So that means I have an antidote too?" A glimmer of hope appeared amid Dugu Yan's despair.

"Yes. This is a Universal Antidote Pill. Once you take it, you'll be cured."

Dugu Bo took out the Pill Li Fei had given him and handed it to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan took it and looked at it. "It smells so good!"

Then she swallowed it.

The Pill melted the instant it entered her mouth. A clear current rushed into her body, washing over and cleansing everything within her.

Her pores opened, releasing clouds of vapor.

Dugu Yan's face flushed as though she were bathing in a world formed entirely from life energy. It felt so comfortable that she nearly moaned.

A dragon's breath emerged from within her body. Her Jade Scale Snake Martial Soul became tainted with a trace of dragon's breath and leaped through the dragon gate in one bound, transforming from a snake into a Flood Dragon.

Jade Scale Flood Dragon!

This was now her Martial Soul!

Every trace of poison in her body had been completely removed!

When Dugu Yan opened her eyes again, her originally green pupils had vanished, replaced by the black pupils of an ordinary person.

Moreover, Dugu Yan felt that her body's comfort far surpassed what it had been moments ago by more than a hundredfold!

Her strength had also become greater!

At this point, she was only a Soul Grandmaster.

Without Dugu Bo's connections, she would not have attended Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but Blue Tyrant Academy, which admitted only commoners.

Dugu Bo gently placed a hand on Dugu Yan's wrist and carefully examined the poison within her body. He was extremely satisfied with the result.

"Congratulations, Yanyan. The poison in your body has been completely cleared."

"You have escaped a fatal calamity."

Dugu Bo said.

"Grandfather, my Martial Soul seems to have changed."

As Dugu Yan spoke, she summoned her Martial Soul.

The Jade Scale Flood Dragon was still mainly jade-green, but it was no longer a snake. It had taken the form of a Flood Dragon, and its size had changed greatly as well.

"Your snake has evolved into a Flood Dragon. This is a good thing."

"Remember this. Do not tell anyone about what happened tonight, not even people from your academy. Especially Yu Tianheng!"

Dugu Bo said.

"Yu Tianheng would never harm me," Dugu Yan said.

"Yanyan, you're still too young. Yu Tianheng approached you for the sake of his family's interests. I will not agree to you two being together. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lineage is extremely exclusionary. Since we are not dragons, we are outsiders in their eyes."

"Your grandfather has already found a peerless, monstrous genius. He is more handsome, taller, and stronger than Yu Tianheng. He is also younger, yet possesses a mature and steady heart. I plan to take you to meet him."

Dugu Bo shook his head.
