Dugu Yan saw that she could not overpower Lin Chuan with words or presence.
For her own life, and even more for the hope of possibly curing her grandfather.
She reluctantly stood up.
"Fine. Since you're not afraid of death, I'll take you to see Grandpa!"
Ye Lingling said nothing.
But she silently rose as well and followed behind them.
She was growing more and more curious about this man.
At the same time.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Education Committee Hall.
The atmosphere was no longer tense and evenly matched. It had become completely one-sided.
Prince Xue Beng stood arrogantly behind Dugu Bo.
He pointed at Dai Mubai and the others as he complained.
"Royal Uncle! These country bumpkins were the ones who beat me just now! They even humiliated me at the academy gates!"
Xue Xing looked toward Dugu Bo.
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo merely snorted.
"Humph!"
That snort exploded beside everyone's ears like thunder.
Boom—!
The terrifying pressure of a Title Douluo erupted like a collapsing mountain and a tsunami!
"Urgh..."
Even though Flender immediately activated his Martial Soul Avatar.
The tangible stench of blood pressed down on him until cold sweat streamed down his face.
Every bone in his body creaked, and he found it difficult to move even a single finger!
And this was without Dugu Bo getting serious.
Yu Xiaogang had it the worst.
He was only a Soul Grandmaster. His face was directly crushed red like liver, veins bulging across it.
His hand tightly gripped the Pope Token that represented supreme authority.
He wanted to take it out and intimidate Dugu Bo.
To tell him that he had ties to Spirit Hall!
But he was trembling!
Under this absolute pressure of strength, he could not even manage the simple act of raising the token!
Humiliation!
Why?
Why were my theories so pale before absolute power?
Dugu Bo looked at them with disdain, as though looking at a pack of ants.
"I'll give you three breaths."
"Kneel and apologize to Prince Xue Beng, then roll out."
"Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves."
Tang San gritted his teeth. Even the Eight Spider Lances could not force themselves open.
He wanted to risk his life, yet he felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
So this was a Title Douluo?
The pinnacle combat power of this world?
Without Big Brother, we were actually this fragile!
"This is going too far!"
The three Education Committee members, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, could finally no longer stand by.
This was not merely bullying Shrek.
It was also a slap in the Education Committee's face!
"Senior Poison Douluo, this is Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"Not your Poison Douluo territory!"
Meng Shenji shouted as the Black Demon Martial Soul Possession took effect.
Bai Baoshan summoned the Heaven Star Furnace, while Zhi Lin called forth the Azure Vine.
The three Soul Douluos acted at once, unleashing all their Soul Power as they tried to withstand Dugu Bo's pressure!
However, before a Title Douluo.
Ordinary Soul Douluos did not amount to much.
Dugu Bo merely let a green glint flash through his eyes.
Medusa's Gaze released the faintest trace of its aura.
The three Education Committee members were shaken until their blood and qi churned. Their faces alternated between red and pale as they staggered back several steps.
Prince Xue Xing sneered at the sight.
"Three committee members, are you going to openly oppose an imperial prince and a guest elder for the sake of these outsiders?"
Despair.
Utter despair.
Qin Ming clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms.
He had wanted to do a good deed.
Yet just as Lin Chuan had said, a good deed had turned into a bad one.
The situation here was far too complicated for him to control.
Xue Beng looked at everyone smugly.
"Hahaha, this is what happens when you offend this prince!"
Just as killing intent flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
And he prepared to give these people who did not know their place a tangible lesson.
"Grandpa! Stop!"
An anxious female voice rang out.
Immediately afterward, the hall doors were slammed open.
Dugu Yan rushed in, panting heavily, and threw herself straight at Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa, don't do it! I have something important to tell you!"
Dugu Bo's entire body trembled, and the killing intent and poisonous mist filling the air.
Abruptly froze the instant he saw his granddaughter.
Behind Dugu Yan.
A young man dressed in white walked in with his hands in his pockets, calm and unhurried.
He looked at the mess on the ground and the crowd drenched in sweat.
A teasing smile curled across his lips.
"Oh? Things are lively here. Looks like I came at just the right time."
"Old Poison, what kind of skill is bullying juniors?"
"If your poison is so powerful, why hasn't it poisoned you to death?"
The Shrek group gasped for air and turned back in delight.
"Big Brother!"
Tang San shouted excitedly.
"Teacher Lin!"
Light instantly returned to Ning Rongrong and the others' eyes.
"Yan Yan? Why are you here? And who is this brat?"
Dugu Bo frowned deeply, though the killing intent in his eyes had lessened somewhat.
"Grandpa! He has a way to cure the Jade Phosphor Snake Venom!"
"He wants to talk with you."
Dugu Yan grabbed Dugu Bo's arm.
In a low voice, she explained everything that had happened at the teahouse.
She also showed him the poison suppressed within her body.
Dugu Bo examined it, and his expression changed drastically.
It really had been suppressed!
And it had been done with an intensely yang, unyielding power that perfectly countered the Jade Phosphor Snake Venom!
He suddenly turned to Lin Chuan, his gaze incomparably complicated.
"Brat, you are far too arrogant!"
"Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate terms with me?"
Lin Chuan ignored the stunned gazes around him.
He casually patted Tang San's shoulder, making him stand upright.
Then he looked at Dugu Bo.
"Your granddaughter's life, and your life as well. With those as my terms, I should have the qualifications, right?"
"So it's perfectly reasonable for me to be a little arrogant!"
The entire hall erupted!
The three Education Committee members were dumbfounded, and so was Prince Xue Xing.
This young man was threatening a Title Douluo?!
Yet unexpectedly, Dugu Bo did not fly into a rage. Instead, he fell into thought.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice.
"I can spare these people."
"But you must first carry out a deeper suppression on Yan Yan and prove your capability."
"After that, we can discuss the terms."
Xue Beng still wanted to speak. How could Poison Douluo let these people off so easily?
But Prince Xue Xing stopped him.
Lin Chuan naturally noticed that as well.
Xue Beng, this playboy who disguised himself as a wastrel, was indeed rather interesting, but what did that have to do with him?
He had already caught Qian Renxue's attention.
If one pretended to be a pig for too long, one might really become a pig.
In Lin Chuan's view, Xue Beng was starting to lose sight of his place.
Lin Chuan's lips curved slightly as he directly agreed to Dugu Bo's condition.
"Fine."
"But I'm busy teaching and don't have time to keep running around every day."
"For this period, Dugu Yan must stay with me and serve as my teaching assistant."
Calling her a teaching assistant was clearly just calling her a hostage!
"You!"
Dugu Bo flew into a rage.
He was a Title Douluo, with a noble status!
Countless people begged for his favor!
When had he ever suffered such indignity!
But when he saw his granddaughter's pleading eyes, he finally gritted his teeth.
"Fine! If you dare harm even a single hair on her head, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth!"
Dugu Yan let out a sigh of relief.
Then she turned and took Ye Lingling's hand before saying to Lin Chuan.
"Teacher Lin, Lingling is my closest sister. I want to bring her too!"
"Her Nine Heart Begonia support ability is the best under heaven. She'll definitely be useful to you!"
She had noticed Ye Lingling's expression long ago.
Besides, she was somewhat worried about facing Lin Chuan alone!
Ye Lingling was slightly startled, then lowered her head, tacitly agreeing.
She was also filled with curiosity toward this mysterious man.
Lin Chuan glanced at Ye Lingling and secretly laughed.
Buy one, get one free? What a huge profit.
"Fine."
Tang San could not help but be stunned when he saw Big Brother so easily keeping a Title Douluo in check.
Just moments ago, Poison Douluo alone had suppressed the entire hall, yet now he could only honestly negotiate terms with Big Brother?
Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai looked at Lin Chuan and only felt that he was impossibly lofty!
As for the girls, aside from Xiao Wu, who was unexpectedly quiet.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked at him with even greater admiration.
However, after two more beautiful girls joined the group.
They could not help but become a little more wary as well!
