Six-Way Interrogation? Dugu Bo Applies Pressure! [Please Keep Reading!]

"Next, I want to be alone for a while."

Chu Lan spoke softly.

"Yes, Master."

Tang Yuehua responded gently. After giving a slight bow, she turned and returned to her room.

With a thought from Chu Lan,

he began today's interdimensional journey.

If he did not use it soon, this opportunity would go to waste.

Whoosh!

[Iron Man World]

[Stark Tower]

"Mm~"

Tony Stark took a sip of wine and nodded in satisfaction. Then, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted an unfamiliar figure.

Chu Lan looked around, delight rising in his heart.

Everything before him closely resembled creations from his own era.

Unfortunately,

five seconds was not enough time for him to take anything away.

"You—how did you get in here?"

"JARVIS?!"

Tony Stark frowned.

But before he could figure out what was happening, the brief five seconds ended, and Chu Lan vanished.

"Hmm?!"

Tony Stark's eyes widened. He pinched his own face. "JARVIS, I wasn't seeing things just now, was I?"

The AI JARVIS replied, "Sir, you were not mistaken. Someone was indeed here just now."

Tony Stark froze for a moment. "Then where did he go?"

JARVIS said, "There are no entry or exit records. He appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly. I cannot understand it."

Tony Stark set down his wineglass and immediately issued an order. "Use facial recognition data to search for information on this person worldwide."

[Douluo World]

Chu Lan returned to Moonlight Pavilion and sighed inwardly. "Five seconds is still too short."

"That person just now... he looked like a little brat, and I heard him mention JARVIS. Could it be that I traveled to the Iron Man World this time?"

"If it really was, it would be nice if I could get a suit of armor to play with someday."

Chu Lan took out the Yitian Sword.

When the Yitian Sword emerged, who could contend against it? Hidden within it were martial arts manuals—the "Nine Yin Manual" and the "Essentials of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms."

"Demonic Weapon Beast, Tiger Soul transformation!"

Chu Lan shouted in a low voice.

Tiger Soul appeared and completed its transformation, turning into a long blade that fell into his hand.

Chu Lan held the blade in one hand and the sword in the other.

First Soul Skill, Soul-Devouring Break!

The instant the first soul ring lit up, a three-inch crimson blade aura extended from Tiger Soul's edge.

This was the effect of his first soul skill—it could double his attack power!

And when clashing with others, it could devour the opponent's Soul Power and stamina. It could even devour life force and the vital energy of heaven and earth to replenish himself!

By the first effect alone, this soul skill rivaled the effect of an ordinary person's third soul skill!

With both effects combined, this one soul skill was enough to serve him for a lifetime!

Clang!!

Blade and sword collided. As expected, the Yitian Sword was cleaved in half by Tiger Soul.

Crash!

The "Nine Yin Manual" and the "Essentials of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms" hidden within the Yitian Sword fell out.

"These two manuals will both be of great use to me. I need to cultivate them properly."

"It's just a pity about this Yitian Sword. Even if it can be rejoined, it still won't be as good as it was before."

"Forget it. The Douluo Continent lacks neither rare treasures nor exotic metals. Forging a few good swords won't be difficult."

Chu Lan opened the Nine Yin Manual and studied it carefully.

They said cultivation emphasized the harmony of yin and yang. Although the "Nine Yin Manual" also contained yang-based portions, it still leaned toward yin, which was why the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" existed. Cultivating both was not difficult because of the learning itself, but because of balancing the yin and yang internal energies.

The "Essentials of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms" could also help him grasp the principles of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms more quickly.

The next day, just as a pale strip of dawn appeared on the horizon,

Chu Lan finished cultivating through the night. He then went up to Moonlight Pavilion's roof, faced east, and absorbed purple qi to cultivate the Purple Demon Eyes.

After roughly the time it took to burn an incense stick, he finished cultivating and ate breakfast under Tang Yuehua's care.

Only then did he head to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for class.

Just after the morning theory lesson ended, Chu Lan was preparing to go to the cafeteria and fill his stomach when someone came looking for him.

"Chu Lan, His Highness Prince Xue Xing wishes to see you."

Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Alright."

Chu Lan was not surprised. In his view, it was only a matter of time before Prince Xue Xing came looking for him.

Even if Xue Ye sent someone for him, he would not have found it surprising.

"Brother Chu, I'll go with you."

In front of so many people, and since Chu Lan had reminded him before, Xue Beng did not directly call him Master.

Chu Lan nodded and headed toward the administrative office.

Xue Beng followed closely behind him like an attendant.

To the onlookers, this scene was utterly baffling. After all, everyone had seen how Xue Beng had behaved before.

Administrative office.

Aside from the three Soul Douluo powerhouses whom the Tiandou Empire had poached from Spirit Hall,

there were three other people present.

One wore luxurious brocade robes, with small eyes and two thin mustaches.

At first glance, he looked somewhat gloomy and sleazy.

He was Prince Xue Xing.

The other had long dark-green hair and wore a dark-green robe. His eye sockets were sunken, and he seemed lacking in vitality.

He looked like a man with little time left to live.

He was Dugu Bo.

He was also someone Chu Lan had long wanted to get his hands on.

Beside him stood a tall, graceful young woman.

She had short dark-purple hair and wore the academy uniform. She looked heroic and spirited. Though not a peerless beauty, she carried an inherently bewitching, seductive air.

Her jade-green eyes were an unusual color and held a hint of eeriness.

She was Dugu Yan.

Chu Lan was led into the room where everyone was gathered.

His arrival immediately drew the full attention of the six people present.

"Uncle."

"Senior Dugu, Miss Dugu."

"Three Education Committee members."

Xue Beng appeared exceptionally obedient as he carefully greeted and saluted each of them.

Facing the group, Chu Lan cupped his hands in greeting.

"Uncle, this is Brother Chu, Chu Lan. Isn't he an impressive young man?"

Xue Beng went over to Prince Xue Xing's side and eagerly introduced Chu Lan, not forgetting to praise him as well.

"Xue Beng, go outside first."

Xue Xing did not respond. Instead, he sent Xue Beng away.

"Uncle..."

Xue Beng still wanted to struggle a little.

But Xue Xing gave him no chance and glared at him.

Under the pressure Xue Xing exerted, Xue Beng helplessly glanced at Chu Lan before silently withdrawing.

The moment he left, the atmosphere in the room changed drastically.

A silent pressure spread from Dugu Bo's body and bore down on Chu Lan.

Chu Lan frowned.

This pressure was precisely controlled within the limits he could withstand.

The fierce and tyrannical internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill within Chu Lan's body almost instinctively resisted it.

At that moment, Xue Xing walked toward Chu Lan, his gaze cold as he shouted sternly:

"So it was you who made Xue Beng kneel in public? You even made him call you Master!"

"You have quite the nerve, humiliating the Tiandou imperial family like this!"

Chu Lan was in no mood to deal with Xue Xing right now.

His entire focus was on resisting the domineering pressure Dugu Bo was imposing on him.

However—

Chu Lan's attitude only made Xue Xing even angrier.

"Interesting~"

A meaningful smile appeared on Dugu Bo's face.

The moment he spoke, everyone's attention shifted toward him.

Even Xue Xing had to look over cautiously.
