Inside Dugu Manor in Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo sat in the seat of honor, looking at Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Yu Yuanzhen below him. Even he felt an immense amount of pressure.
Even with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, even as a Level Ninety-Five Titled Douluo with a Soul Core, the three before him were all formidable Level Ninety-Four experts. Gui Mei, in particular, was infinitely close to Level Ninety-Five.

Dugu Bo recalled what Xuan Xiao had said before leaving: if Spirit Hall came looking for trouble, he should simply give Xuan Xiao's name. Without hesitation, he nodded.
