Fasno City lay in the heart of Fasinuo Province and served as its capital. Unlike the dingy border town of Notting City, its streets were broad and clean, lined with shops and thronged with pedestrians.
The city's most luxurious hotel, Yunlai Residence, stood at the center of the main street. It was a three-story building of brick and timber.
Inside, the decor was lavish. Bright red lanterns hung overhead, gilded screens stood in rows, and even the stair rails bore intricate carvings.
In Heaven Dou City, a hotel of this caliber might have been considered second-rate. In Fasno City, it was second to none.
In a Tian-Class guest room on the top floor of Yunlai Residence, Zhao Ming and Dugu Bo sat facing each other. The hotel had thoughtfully provided a pot of fine tea.
"How do you feel, Senior Dugu?" Zhao Ming asked with a smile, lifting his cup for a sip.
Pride filled Dugu Bo's face. He drained his tea in one gulp, smacked his lips, and burst out laughing. "Not bad! That Tang Hao wasn't much to speak of. I fought him for dozens of exchanges and never felt he was all that formidable!"
Dugu Bo wasn't boasting, either.
He had fought beautifully in that battle.
With the formidable endurance supplied by his Poison Soul Core, Dugu Bo had overwhelmed Tang Hao through sheer Soul Power.
Other Titled Douluo had to be sparing with Soul Skills backed by Soul Rings over ten thousand years old. Dugu Bo hurled his out as though they cost him nothing, using even his Ninth Soul Skill three full times.
Tang Hao's attacks were certainly powerful. Every blow of his Clear Sky Hammer could split mountains and shatter stone, but Dugu Bo had refused to clash with him head-on.
