Da Ming and Er Ming

Qian Daoliu came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

He left behind only a book and a token.

In exchange, he secured a promise from Ye Xuan.

Although their interaction was brief, Ye Xuan sensed that this Angel Douluo was undoubtedly a clever man. He had certainly come to the right person.

Ye Xuan took out the book and began to read it carefully.

The information recorded within was indeed of great benefit to him.

While Ye Xuan knew about the God Trials from reading the novel, the information there was only a general overview; the various details were naturally not as exhaustive as what was recorded in this book.

Ye Xuan was halfway through when Ning Rongrong and the others walked out.

Seeing only Ye Xuan in the courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Brother Ye, has that person left?"

"Yes. You all continue to work hard on your cultivation. Once Rongrong breaks through as well, we will leave Soto City," Ye Xuan said.

"Leave Soto City? Where are we going?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

"Tiandou City!" Ye Xuan replied.

"Tiandou City? Brother Ye, why are we going there?" Ning Rongrong was also full of curiosity.

Tiandou City was the imperial capital, a place where countless heroes gathered. Going there would certainly allow for better training. However, Ning Rongrong was more curious about whether Ye Xuan had other motives for going there.

"There are more resources there, and quite a few things that will be useful to you. I also have some matters to attend to in that area," Ye Xuan said.

In Tiandou City, there was the Sunset Forest, and the medicinal herbs at the Yin Yang Dual Instrument Eye within it were a key opportunity for Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu to evolve, as seen in the original story.

Now that they were following him, Ye Xuan naturally intended to secure those for them.

"Brother Ye, if we go there, will more people notice me? I'm afraid that might bring you some trouble," Xiao Wu said worriedly.

In Soto City, they had already encountered Title Douluo several times.

If they arrived in Tiandou City, would they run into Title Douluo everywhere? How much trouble would she bring upon them then?

"Rest assured, going there will only bring opportunities. As for worrying about Title Douluo, there is no need at all, because there won't be anyone stronger than the one who came today," Ye Xuan said.

"The one who came today? Who was that?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

The three of them only felt that the person who came to see Ye Xuan was extraordinary, and because Ye Xuan had been so serious at the time, they had listened to him and gone inside.

But they had no idea who that person was.

"The Great Elder of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu," Ye Xuan said.

"Qian Daoliu?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed, and both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked at her simultaneously.

"Rongrong, do you know this person?"

"I've heard Grandpa Sword and the others mention him. Qian Daoliu is a level 99 Peerless Douluo, and people consider him the strongest person in Spirit Hall. It's just that he has kept a very low profile for the past few decades. Even when his son was killed by Haotian Douluo, he didn't come out of seclusion," Ning Rongrong said.

To the outside world, it was indeed believed that Qian Xunji had been killed by Tang Hao.

"Level 99? Just how strong is that! Brother Ye, what did he want from you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with some concern, after all, this was a figure bordering on a god.

Even though she had great confidence in Ye Xuan, she couldn't help but worry.

"He came to ask me to help protect someone's safety, and he gave me a book and the position of an Elder," Ye Xuan said.

"An Elder? Brother Ye, you've become an Elder of Spirit Hall?" Ning Rongrong looked at him with a hint of admiration.

When she was a child and heard Sword Douluo mention Qian Daoliu, the attitude displayed by Sword Douluo was always that of a junior showing respect to a senior.

For such a person to actually come and seek cooperation with Ye Xuan, and even grant him such a high position, how could she not be impressed?

"Yes! And our trip to Tiandou City to protect the person he requested is the promise I made to him. With my position as an Elder of Spirit Hall, they shouldn't come to bother you anymore."

Ye Xuan's final words were naturally directed at Xiao Wu.

"Thank you, Brother Ye. However, if we are to leave here, we will still need to inform Dean Flender and the others," Xiao Wu said.

"That goes without saying. No matter what, you are still members of Shrek Academy for now," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

After that day, the training continued.

Time passed day by day, and two months slipped by before they knew it.

On this day, Ning Rongrong finally reached level 30.

Ye Xuan and the others teamed up once again to enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Halfway there, Ye Xuan asked Xiao Wu, "You seem to have something on your mind?"

On the way, Ye Xuan had clearly noticed that Xiao Wu seemed to be contemplating something.

"Brother Ye, before we go to Tiandou City, I... I would like to go see Da Ming and the others." Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before sharing her thoughts with Ye Xuan.

"If you want to go, then go! We'll agree on a meeting place and wait for you," Ye Xuan said.

"Hmm..." Xiao Wu struggled for a moment before saying, "I would like to ask you and the others to come with me, is that okay?"

"This..." Ye Xuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Xiao Wu to want to bring them along.

"If it weren't for you, Brother Ye, I would have been captured by those two Title Douluo from Spirit Hall. Da Ming and the others are like family to me, and you, Brother Ye, are my benefactor, so I hope you can meet each other. Besides, letting them know that someone like you is around will put their minds at ease." Xiao Wu explained her reasons for inviting them.

After listening, Ye Xuan was left between laughter and tears; such a reason was hard to refuse.

"Fine, then let's go see them together!" Ye Xuan said readily.

Eventually, after they found a suitable third spirit ring for Ning Rongrong and waited for her to complete her breakthrough, they followed Xiao Wu's guidance toward the place where Da Ming and the others resided.

Along the way, the spirit beasts they encountered grew steadily stronger.

However, whenever Ye Xuan released his sword intent in the face of these powerful spirit beasts, they dared not approach.

These spirit beasts relied more on instinct to survive, making them highly sensitive to powerful auras; they knew this human was not someone they could afford to provoke.

They arrived at the Lake of Life without incident, and no sooner had they reached it than the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, came running toward them from the distance.

He had sensed Xiao Wu's aura.

Shortly after, Da Ming emerged from the lake, following behind Er Ming at a steady, unhurried pace.

When Er Ming reached Xiao Wu's side, she greeted them, "Da Ming, Er Ming, I've come to see you."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong appeared somewhat nervous.

Although they trusted Xiao Wu and knew these were her family who would certainly not harm them, the sheer presence of two such massive beasts standing before them was enough to make anyone tense.

"Sister Xiao Wu, who are these people?"

Unlike Er Ming, Da Ming was capable of human speech.

He had once used his voice to scare off a human Titled Douluo.

Seeing Xiao Wu bring several humans here, he was naturally curious about who they were.
