Tuoba Xi Absorbs the Earth Dragon Golden Melon

The farce that had just unfolded passed quickly.

Tuoba Xuan, however, bid farewell to Dugu Bo at the gates of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Because he had more important matters to attend to.

Following the contents of the letter he had sent earlier, Tuoba Xuan arrived alone at a restaurant.

The restaurant was bustling with people coming and going, and Tuoba Xuan did not stand out as he walked through the crowd.

Tuoba Xuan went up to a private room on the second floor and released his spiritual power to scan the area.

He immediately discovered his grandfather's private room.

That was right.

The letter Tuoba Xuan had sent back to the Sacred Dragon Sect had concluded by asking Tuoba Xi to find time to visit Tiandou City.

And so.

Following the exclusive trail left behind by Tuoba Xi.

Tuoba Xuan successfully located him.

Tuoba Xuan pushed the door open and entered.

"Grandfather, long time no see."

Tuoba Xuan spoke with a light chuckle.

The grandfather and grandson had not seen each other for a year.

Thus, the moment Tuoba Xi saw Tuoba Xuan, he stood up in excitement.

"Little Xuan, haha."

A look of anticipation was hidden in the corners of Tuoba Xi's eyes.

"Do you know? I was so shocked when I received the letter you sent."

Tuoba Xi's broad palm patted Tuoba Xuan's shoulder heavily.

"I never expected that in just one year, you would have transformed so much."

Tuoba Xuan laughed as well.

"Grandfather, I asked you to come here this time because there is a major matter to discuss."

Tuoba Xi already knew everything Tuoba Xuan had experienced over the past year.

He also knew of Tuoba Xuan's current strength and talent.

Therefore, upon hearing that Tuoba Xuan had an important matter, his expression immediately turned serious.

"Speak, Little Xuan."

Tuoba Xi's immense spiritual power spread out, forming a sealed space.

Tuoba Xuan did not speak.

He simply took out an exquisite wooden box, which radiated a vibrant vitality.

"Grandfather, take a look at this."

Tuoba Xuan opened the wooden box.

Inside lay an earthy-yellow, melon-shaped fruit.

Tuoba Xi was stunned; he could feel the fruit exerting a pull on him.

"What is this?"

Tuoba Xi asked in confusion.

"Grandfather, this item is called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Its effect is to increase the bloodline purity and soul power quality of dragon-type soul masters."

"Grandfather, you have been stuck at level 89 for several years now; surely this fruit can help you successfully advance to a Title Douluo."

Tuoba Xi gasped.

In his quest to break through to become a Title Douluo, how could he not have researched various external aids?

Thus, he was vaguely aware of the existence of immortal herbs.

He just never expected that such a divine object would appear in his grandson's hands.

However, Tuoba Xi stubbornly waved his hand.

"No, Little Xuan. Grandfather's talent has long been exhausted. Since this fruit is so precious, it is naturally best for you to consume it."

Tuoba Xuan chuckled.

"Grandfather, you need not worry about that. I have already absorbed an immortal herb suitable for myself; this one was prepared specifically for you."

Hearing Tuoba Xuan say this, Tuoba Xi finally revealed a reluctant expression.

To be honest, deep down, Tuoba Xi was extremely eager for the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

The Sacred Dragon Sect had always remained at the head of the four lower sects.

Tuoba Xi had likewise remained stuck at the bottleneck of level 89.

He had attempted countless methods to break through.

Yet, nothing had ever been effective.

Most importantly, he also knew that the continent was about to undergo a drastic change.

Only by becoming a Title Douluo would he have the strength to protect his grandson and his sect.

"Very well, since that is the case, Little Xuan, I shall accept this gift."

Tuoba Xuan smiled; this was more like it.

"As it happens, you should accompany me to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and, while you're at it, hunt for your ninth soul ring."

"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?" Tuoba Xi paused for a second.

Tuoba Xuan tapped his own head, only then remembering that he hadn't told his grandfather about Dugu Bo yet.

"Grandfather..."

Tuoba Xuan explained the situation regarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to Tuoba Xi in the most concise manner possible.

"So that is how it is!"

Tuoba Xi suddenly realized the truth.

"I truly never expected, Little Xuan, that you would have become friends with His Excellency the Poison Douluo."

"There is no time to lose, let us depart, Grandfather."

With those words, the two men did not linger any longer; they left the restaurant without a moment's delay and hurried toward the Dugu Mansion.

Upon arriving at the Dugu Mansion, Tuoba Xuan immediately rounded up Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, who were still catching up.

With the two pairs of grandfathers and grandsons combined, the four of them set off together for the Sunset Forest.

There were three main objectives for this trip to the Sunset Forest.

First, to resolve the defects in Dugu Yan's martial soul.

Second, for him to obtain his fourth soul ring.

Third, to help his grandfather obtain his ninth soul ring and assist him in becoming a Title Douluo.

"Brother Tuoba, your grandson's talent is the greatest I have seen in my entire life."

"I wonder, would you have any interest in taking the relationship between our two families a step further?"

On the way to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo said with a mischievous grin on his face.

He still hadn't forgotten about playing matchmaker between Tuoba Xuan and Dugu Yan.

Tuoba Xi had, of course, heard of Dugu Yan's reputation.

He also knew of this girl's strength and talent.

Furthermore, he only had Tuoba Xuan as a descendant.

Naturally, he wanted Tuoba Xuan to carry on the family line.

Because of this, the two unscrupulous old men quickly became familiar with one another.

They left only Tuoba Xuan and Dugu Yan standing there with dark expressions on their faces.

"Grandfather, please don't forget what I told you about Shui Bing'er."

Tuoba Xuan could not listen to any more of this and spoke up in a low voice to stop him.

Tuoba Xi waved his hand, not caring in the slightest.

"And what of it? At worst, we can just have Shui Bing'er be the concubine."

Tuoba Xuan: "..."

In this world where strength was respected above all else, polygamy—or polyandry—was perfectly normal.

Take Tuoba Xi and Dugu Bo, for instance; in their youth, they had both been surrounded by many beautiful women.

On this topic, Tuoba Xi and Dugu Bo opened the floodgates of conversation.

The two of them talked loudly; anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were already in-laws.

Dugu Yan covered her ears and turned her head away.

Tuoba Xuan simply increased his speed, moving ahead of the three of them.

The four of them soon arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"This truly is a precious treasure land, Brother Dugu."

Tuoba Xi gazed at the peculiar scene before him, unable to help but let out a series of sighs.

Tuoba Xuan had no desire to pay any more mind to these two old geezers, focusing his attention instead on preparing medicinal pills for Dugu Yan.

In the end, Tuoba Xuan chose the Ice Immortal Jade Muscle Bone and an immortal herb known as the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.

The Ice Immortal Jade Muscle Bone could purify Dugu Yan's potential and, furthermore, enhance her beauty.

The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, on the other hand, could increase the bloodline purity and resilience of Dugu Yan's martial soul.

Tuoba Xuan: "This is an Ice Immortal Jade Muscle Bone; its defining characteristic is its toughness..."

Following this, Tuoba Xuan began to utilize his own essence blood to fuse the medicinal materials, refining a curative pill for Dugu Yan.

Time slipped away in a flash.

Dugu Bo found a spirit bone for Dugu Yan.

He also taught Dugu Yan the method for fusing toxins.

Subsequently, with the aid of Tuoba Xuan's medicinal pills and the two immortal herbs, Dugu Yan successfully stabilized her toxins.

As a result, Dugu Yan's spirit power level had reached the 40th-level bottleneck.

What was worth celebrating was that during this period, Tuoba Xi had also successfully absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, his spirit power officially reaching the peak of level 90.

He was only one spirit ring away from becoming a Title Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

Regarding this, Tuoba Xi had even already decided on his title.

He would call himself the Sacred Dragon Douluo.
