However, as Yu Xiaogang looked at the plaque of Blue Lightning Academy, a flash of hidden resentment crossed his eyes.
He calculated secretly in his heart.
Just let you be smug for a while. Once the Shrek Eight Devils make a name for themselves in the tournament and shock the entire continent, I will certainly make this academy a vassal of Shrek.
At that time, let's see how you, Liu Erlong, can still act so high and mighty in front of me!
Liu Erlong watched Yu Xiaogang's display—outwardly noble but inwardly taking the path of least resistance—and the last of her illusions shattered.
She ignored the hypocritical man and opened the Chat Group in her mind.
[Gentle Fire Dragon]: "Everyone, Yu Xiaogang truly acted as the Group Owner predicted just now, using the threat of leaving to force me to rename the academy."
[Gentle Fire Dragon]: "If not for the Group Owner's prior warning, I fear I would have been deceived by his righteous facade once again."
As soon as the message was sent, the group erupted in an uproar.
[Little Witch]: "Wow! The Group Owner brother was actually right! Just how shameless can that guy be?"
[Fragrant Fox]: "Tsk tsk, truly seeing is believing. A grown man using such despicable methods to seize a woman's property—it's truly nauseating."
[Poison Fairy]: "This Grandmaster is indeed a hypocrite through and through. Fire Dragon Sister, you must not fall for his tricks!"
[Bunny Eats Radish]: "Exactly, exactly! Fire Dragon Sister, you're amazing! The look on his face just now was even uglier than pig liver; it cracked me up!"
Watching the message sent by Xiao Wu, Liu Erlong's gaze fell once more upon the girl standing behind the Shrek team.
She sighed imperceptibly, feeling a bit more pity for the young girl in her heart, while her awe for Qin Feng reached an unprecedented height.
Who exactly is this mysterious Group Owner?
He could calculate these trivial matters all the way in Heaven Dou City without a single error!
Meanwhile, deep within the Pope Palace in Spirit City.
Bibi Dong sat upon the high throne, draped in her magnificent papal robes. In her hand, she held a secret letter just delivered by a messenger.
The contents of the letter detailed everything that had transpired before the Blue Lightning Academy in Heaven Dou City.
When she read the description of Yu Xiaogang demanding a name change and even threatening to leave, a cold sneer curled the corners of Bibi Dong's lips.
"Yu Xiaogang, you really are as selfish and hypocritical as ever."
She closed the letter gently, her eyes devoid of anger, replaced only by the indifference of one who had seen through everything.
Everything said by "Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People" in the group had been perfectly verified once again.
According to the intelligence gathered by Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong naturally knew Liu Erlong's true identity.
Thinking of that beautiful, stubborn woman who had waited twenty years for such a cowardly, incompetent man, only to nearly have her life's work snatched away by him, a rare sense of empathy rose in Bibi Dong's heart.
"We were both deceived by this man's hypocrisy; you clung to those lingering fantasies, while I fell into an endless abyss."
Bibi Dong stroked her scepter gently and muttered to herself:
"However, this Group Owner truly possesses heaven-defying means. It seems I should pay more attention to this 'Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People'."
On the other side, in the Sunset Forest.
Beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, two streams of extreme spring water, one red and one blue, reflected each other, emitting a misty vapor.
Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, watching the medicinal garden before him in silence.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant here, and immortal herbs grew everywhere; it was truly a supreme treasure land.
Behind him, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan stood somewhat nervously.
"Young Master Qin, does this method of detoxification really only require this spring water combined with the herbs?"
Dugu Bo asked with some trepidation. He had been tormented by this poison for half his life, and now that hope was within reach, he could not help but feel anxious.
Qin Feng glanced at him indifferently, his expression calm as he spoke:
"Your Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison has already seeped into your bone marrow. I will first take two immortal herbs to help you cleanse your marrow and refine your bones."
As his words fell, Qin Feng moved slightly, gliding through the air as if weightless, and arrived at the edge of the spring in an instant.
A faint light shone from his hand.
Relying on the shroud of his powerful soul power, he precisely plucked several auxiliary herbs.
"Dugu Bo, catch."
Qin Feng flicked his wrist, and an herb emitting a glowing green light landed in Dugu Bo's hand.
"Consume this medicine, immediately circulate your soul power, and force all the poison in your body into the soul bone in your head. Remember, do not hold back in the slightest."
Dugu Bo did not hesitate for a moment; he immediately sat cross-legged and swallowed the herb.
In an instant, a gentle yet immensely vast medicinal power dispersed within him, firmly protecting his already fragile meridians.
A massive surge of soul power erupted, beginning to frantically drive the poison out of his body.
Qin Feng turned his head to look at the somewhat nervous Dugu Yan.
"Miss Yanzi, consume this flower. Use the aura of the spring water here to refine it as well."
Dugu Yan hurriedly took the white flower emitting a delicate fragrance from Qin Feng, nodded with a blush, and followed her grandfather's example by sitting cross-legged not far away.
Time flowed slowly by.
Wisps of black-green toxic mist continuously rose from the Baihui acupoints atop the heads of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
These mists did not dissipate; instead, guided by Qin Feng's soul power, they flowed incessantly into the soul bones within Dugu Bo's head.
Dugu Bo felt the heavy, oppressive sensation that had weighed upon him for decades fading away at an astonishing speed.
His face seemed to grow ten years younger in an instant, and his once withered, yellowing hair regained its vitality.
"Boom!"
An immensely tyrannical wave of soul power suddenly erupted from within Dugu Bo's body.
Level ninety-two...
Level ninety-three!
Having resolved the hidden danger of the snake venom within him, his cultivation, which had remained stagnant for decades, had actually broken through to level ninety-three at this very moment!
Dugu Yan also slowly opened her eyes; her once eerie green pupils were now incomparably clear. The soul power fluctuations within her had jumped three levels, reaching level thirty-eight.
"My... my poison, it's really gone!"
Dugu Yan jumped up in excitement and threw her arms around Dugu Bo.
Feeling the surging, pure soul power within his body, Dugu Bo wept with joy, tears streaming down his aged face.
He walked respectfully before Qin Feng, knelt on one knee, and said with a trembling voice:
"Young Master, your life-saving grace is something this old man will never forget. From this day forward, this old man's life belongs to you!"
Qin Feng waved his hand casually, signaling for him to rise.
"Since your poison is cured, it is time for me to collect my reward."
Qin Feng shifted his focus, casting his gaze toward the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
He closed his eyes slightly.
In an instant, a massive dragon with golden dragon claws and an ice phoenix, crystalline throughout and radiating extreme cold, rose slowly from behind him.
Three black, ten-thousand-year soul rings—so dark they made one's scalp tingle—slowly pulsed around his body.
The moment his martial soul appeared, the calm Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well suddenly began to boil violently.
The red and blue spring waters transformed into two pillars of water that shot straight into the clouds.
Before the shocked eyes of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, two enormous dragon shadows abruptly condensed above the spring.
One long dragon burned with flames capable of incinerating the void, while the other radiated frost that could freeze time itself.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings!
Upon seeing the Golden Dragon and Ice Phoenix behind Qin Feng, these two massive dragon king phantoms actually emitted a low, long moan.
As if paying homage to a monarch, their colossal bodies slowly lowered their arrogant heads toward Qin Feng in mid-air.
A terrifying pressure instantly swept across the entire Sunset Forest, causing countless soul beasts to tremble in fear at that moment.
Standing to the side, Dugu Bo felt his knees go weak, nearly kneeling on the spot.
What kind of existence... was this young man?
The moment the two massive dragon king phantoms lowered their heads, their colossal bodies began to shatter into pieces.
They did not dissipate, but instead transformed into the purest crimson and deep blue halos of light.
These two extreme yet perfectly balanced energies, like two agile serpents, followed Qin Feng's palms and burrowed into his body.
Qin Feng felt a warmth spread through his entire being, followed immediately by a cooling sensation that swept through his limbs and bones.
Within him, the Golden Dragon and Ice Phoenix let out joyful cries.
His soul power began to climb at this moment.
Level thirty-nine...
Level forty!
The massive origin of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings continued to reshape his bones and meridians.
The scales of his Golden Dragon martial soul gained a faint layer of reddish-gold, and his defense and strength skyrocketed instantly.
The Ice Phoenix became even more crystalline, and the cold air surrounding it now carried a faint, awe-inspiring dragon might.
Qin Feng closed his eyes, quietly guiding this power.
The black light of his ten-thousand-year soul rings became even deeper at this moment, taking on a dark, mysterious luster.
The three black soul rings pulsed slowly around his body, exerting immense pressure on those nearby.
Dugu Bo stood to the side, dumbfounded.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, looking at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as it gradually returned to calm, then at the rosy-cheeked Qin Feng.
"This... this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is actually this miraculous?"
"And those two dragons just now... I have lived here for most of my life, yet I never knew such divine objects were hidden beneath!"
Dugu Bo swallowed hard, his voice filled with unconcealable shock.
Previously, he had only thought this place was a decent herb garden that could help him suppress his Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison.
Now it seemed clear that this was a geomantic treasure trove that even gods would covet.
What he found even more incredible was that those two terrifying dragon souls had actually lowered their arrogant heads when facing Qin Feng.
Just how terrifying was this young man's identity?
His future achievements would likely be beyond the reach of even the high and mighty Pope of Spirit Hall.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's mind immediately began to race.
Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes. One eye was crimson red, while the other was deep blue, but they flashed and returned to pitch black.
At this moment, his soul power had firmly settled at the bottleneck of level forty.
"Congratulations, Young Master! My congratulations!"
Seeing Qin Feng open his eyes, Dugu Bo hurried forward two steps and bowed in salute.
Having lived for so many years, he knew better than anyone how to read the situation.
The youth before him was absolutely a peerless prodigy, the likes of which were rarely seen in a thousand years.
If he could bind himself to him, not only would Dugu Yan have a backer in the future, but his Dugu Family could also soar to great heights.
Dugu Yan stood to the side, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Feng, filled with unconcealable admiration.
The immense strength Qin Feng had displayed earlier, combined with his impeccably handsome profile, had long since deeply captivated this young girl whose heart was just beginning to stir.
Seeing his granddaughter's flushed face and the way her heart was clearly fluttering, how could Dugu Bo not understand her feelings?
He gave a light cough and tugged on Dugu Yan's sleeve with a mysterious air.
"Yanzi, what do you think of Young Master Qin?"
Dugu Bo asked in an extremely low voice.
"Grandfather, what nonsense are you spouting? The Young Master is naturally excellent."
Dugu Yan lowered her head, her face turning slightly red as she twisted the corner of her clothes, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
Dugu Bo smiled knowingly, turned his head to look at Qin Feng, and his expression became somewhat fawning.
"Young Master Qin, although this girl Yanzi has a somewhat spoiled personality, her talent is passable among her peers."
"Now that her Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison has been cured, I would like her to follow you in the future as a maid to serve tea and water. I wonder what you think, Young Master?"
He spoke with a degree of humility, even taking the initiative to lower his posture.
To secure such a thick thigh to cling to, sacrificing his granddaughter was worth it.
Besides, it was clear that his granddaughter was ten thousand times willing.
Qin Feng turned to look at Dugu Yan.
The young girl was currently bowing her head, the tips of her ears bright red, yet she couldn't help but steal glances at him, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Qin Feng smiled slightly, finding it rather amusing.
"Dugu Bo, you are quite willing to part with her."
"However, since Miss Yanzi is willing, then I shall accept."
He needed to cultivate his own team on the Douluo Continent, and as a Jade Phosphorus Snake soul master with decent talent, Dugu Yan was a suitable person to keep by his side.
Hearing Qin Feng agree, Dugu Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Yanzi greets the Young Master. In the future, Yanzi will surely serve you with all my heart."
Her voice was crisp and pleasant, carrying a hint of unconcealable joy.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo's hanging heart finally settled, and his aged face bloomed into a smile.
Just then, the sound of light footsteps came from outside the herb garden.
A bewitching and moving figure walked in.
It was Hu Liena.
She had been guarding the perimeter, and only when she felt the activity inside subside did she hurry over.
However, the moment she entered, she heard Dugu Yan's sweet, coquettish "greets the Young Master."
Hu Liena's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
She looked at the blushing, love-struck Dugu Yan, and a wave of sourness rose in her heart.
Oh? I'm gone for just a moment, and someone is already trying to poach my man?
She clicked her heels and walked quickly to Qin Feng's side, naturally hooking her arm through his.
Her full figure pressed against Qin Feng, whether intentionally or not.
"Junior brother, has everything been taken care of?"
