Dugu Yan's Shock

"Strong! Truly strong!!"

"As expected of Radiance! He's practically a god!!"

"He even instantly killed the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon. Is there anyone left who can be his opponent?"

Su Changqing ignored the commotion behind him and walked straight back to the rest area, as if he had just completed a very ordinary daily practice.

There shouldn't be any more matches today. He planned to go back to the hotel to rest.

However, as soon as the thought formed, a surge of Soul Power with a faint sweet and fishy scent locked onto him.

Su Changqing looked up and saw Dugu Yan standing at the entrance of the rest area, her emerald green eyes staring intently at him.

"You're Radiance?"

Su Changqing was not wearing his mask at this moment.

Su Changqing's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at her calmly, "Is there something?"

This little girl took the bait!

It seems I'm one step closer to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"You injured Tianheng."

Dugu Yan walked closer step by step, a faint dark green mist swirling around her. This was a sign of the Jade Phosphor Serpent's Venom spontaneously emanating.

"You attacked so ruthlessly, not even deigning to use your Martial Soul. Are you trying to humiliate our Imperial Fighting Team?"

Su Changqing replied calmly, "It's not humiliation. If I had used my Soul Skill, Yu Tianheng would likely be a corpse right now."

The calmness in his words was undoubtedly extreme arrogance and provocation to Dugu Yan!

"Good! Very good!"

Dugu Yan laughed in anger, her emerald green pupils shrinking into dangerous needle points.

"Then I'd like to see if my Jade Phosphor Serpent's Venom is worthy of making you use your Soul Skill!"

With that, Dugu Yan's three Soul Rings lit up, and the Jade Phosphor Serpent's Venom began to erupt continuously!

Su Changqing didn't move, allowing the poison to enter his body.

"You're really asking for death!"

Seeing him act so carelessly, a hint of disdain flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes.

A few seconds later, all the poison had entered Su Changqing's body.

"You fool, you brought this upon yourself!" Dugu Yan said sinisterly.

However, Su Changqing's expression remained calm.

"So this is the Jade Phosphor Serpent's Venom. It's indeed trash."

With that, golden light erupted from Su Changqing's body. The dazzling Light Attribute flashed, making it difficult for Dugu Yan to open her eyes.

"If your serpent's venom were a bit stronger, it might have forced me to use my Soul Skill. Unfortunately, it's too weak! My Martial Soul inherently suppresses all Malevolent Spirits and poisonous creatures!"

As Su Changqing's words fell, his body, which had been altered by the poison, returned to normal.

"What?!"

Dugu Yan's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on her face.

Her Jade Phosphor Serpent's Venom had been resolved so easily?

"Impossible!"

She refused to believe it and released her venom again.

The result was the same.

Dugu Yan's face turned pale, and she stumbled back a step, looking at Su Changqing as if he were a monster.

Her pride, the Jade Phosphor Serpent's Venom, was a complete joke in front of this person!

That absolute attribute suppression made her feel a sense of powerlessness and fear from the bottom of her heart.

"Now it's my turn."

With that, Su Changqing, flashing with golden light, instantly appeared before Dugu Yan. He raised a Golden Light Fist, aiming directly at her face!

Dugu Yan's expression turned to terror, and she sat down on the ground. A fear she had never felt before surged within her.

But just as the fist was about to hit her, Su Changqing stopped his attack!

"I win," Su Changqing said calmly, retracting his Martial Soul.

"You... Who exactly are you?"

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Someone your family can never defeat."

Su Changqing's plain words fell, and then he turned and slowly left the rest area.

Dugu Yan stood there blankly. It wasn't until Su Changqing's figure completely disappeared that she slumped to the ground powerlessly.

She actually lost so miserably!

She hadn't even managed to scratch the opponent!

This kind of blow was far heavier than a defeat in an evenly matched fight.

She returned to the Imperial Fighting Team's encampment in a daze, too disheartened to even check on Yu Tianheng. She shut herself in her room.

Her mind kept replaying the scene of the poisonous mist being purified by golden light, and Su Changqing's chillingly calm gaze.

Night deepened.

A dark green figure appeared outside Dugu Yan's door without a sound. It was Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.

He sensed his granddaughter's extreme dejection and the chaotic fluctuations in her Soul Power after her return, a stark contrast to her usual self.

"Yanyan?"

Dugu Bo knocked on the door, his voice hoarse but carrying a hint of undetectable concern.

There was no response from inside.

Dugu Bo frowned slightly and pushed the door open directly.

He saw Dugu Yan sitting on the bed, hugging her knees, her eyes vacant, tear tracks still on her face.

"What's wrong? Who bullied my precious granddaughter?"

Dugu Bo walked to the bedside, softening his tone.

Although he had a peculiar temperament, he genuinely doted on his granddaughter.

Dugu Yan looked up and saw her grandfather, her eyes reddening again. But she stubbornly turned her head away, "N-nothing, I just lost a soul fight today and I'm feeling down."

"Lost?"

Dugu Bo was a little surprised. The Imperial Fighting Team was almost unrivaled among the younger generation in Heaven Dou City, let alone Dugu Yan.

"Lost to whom? That brat Yu Tianxin?"

"No..."

Dugu Yan bit her lip, ultimately not mentioning Su Changqing.

She had lost so embarrassingly, and hadn't even figured out the opponent's background. She found it too shameful to speak of and didn't want her grandfather to worry about her.

Seeing his granddaughter unwilling to speak, a sharp glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.

He knew his granddaughter's personality. If it were an ordinary defeat, she wouldn't be like this. There must be a hidden reason.

He didn't press further, merely patted his granddaughter's shoulder gently. "Victory and defeat are common in warfare. My granddaughter, Dugu Bo's granddaughter, can afford to lose and can win back. Get some good rest."

After comforting Dugu Yan for a few sentences, Dugu Bo withdrew from the room, his expression darkening.

He stood in the courtyard, gazing at the dimly lit night view of Heaven Dou City. His eyes, like a viper's, flickered with suspicion and cold light.

"To make my Yanyan so distraught that she won't even mention the opponent's name... It seems a formidable young fellow has arrived in Heaven Dou City."

He muttered to himself, the surrounding toxins seeming to become more active with his emotional fluctuations. "No matter who you are, if you dare to bully my Dugu Bo's granddaughter, I will personally pay you a visit!"

A faint killing intent spread out.

This Title Douluo, renowned for his poison, had taken note of the unseen "Radiance."

Su Changqing's objective had been achieved.

In the hotel.

Su Changqing sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes.

So soon?

"Senior, there's no need to be so sneaky, is there?"
