Had Too Much to Drink? Then Get Lost! Were You Waiting for Some Immortal Herbs?

Sunset Forest.

Li Chen opened his eyes, a glimmer flashing through them.

He had absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. His spiritual power had reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, bringing him to the threshold of the Spirit Abyss Realm.

After all,

most Titled Douluo were only at that level. Some had not even reached it.

Li Chen summoned his Computer Spirit.

That was what he really cared about.

A miniature computer appeared.

Compared with the desktop computer he had before, its tower and mouse were gone. Only a screen remained.

With a thought, Li Chen moved the cursor across the screen and clicked wherever he wanted.

He no longer needed a keyboard to enter information, either. A thought was enough.

What was more,

Li Chen discovered, to his delight, that his computer ran several times faster. Something resembling a Dragon Ball Battle Scouter had also appeared over his face.

It could accurately identify information about people nearby, including their Soul Power Level and spirits. It could even see through them and mark the spirit bones in their bodies.

"Oh, this really is good stuff!"

A little while later,

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen opened their eyes too. The siblings' auras had grown much stronger.

"Looks like we all have bright futures ahead of us,"

Li Chen said with a smile.

"Mm. Thank you so much, Brother Li Chen."

Meng Hongchen beamed at him.

In the original timeline, Meng Hongchen had only reached level 83 as a Soul Douluo by the end.

But now,

the immortal herbs had unlocked her potential, and Soul Power was more abundant in this era. Reaching Titled Douluo would be easy for Meng Hongchen!

"Huh? Looks like someone's coming."

Li Chen's scouter showed several people with formidable readings approaching.

"Heh. Your spiritual power really has soared after taking that immortal herb, Li Chen. Someone is coming."

Kong Deming smiled as he descended from the sky.

His high-altitude detection Soul Tool had also picked up a group rapidly closing in.

They were all flying, so there had to be at least one Titled Douluo among them.

"How many?" Huo Yuhao asked seriously.

"Not too bad. Just four Titled Douluo, a Soul Sage, and a Soul Ancestor," Li Chen said, checking their readings.

"Four Titled Douluo?!"

Xiao Hongchen was taken aback. "Did we strip their immortal herb garden bare, and now they're coming to settle the score?"

"The Heaven Dou Empire must be pretty powerful if it has four Titled Douluo just guarding its immortal herbs!"

Li Chen laughed. "You're giving the Heaven Dou Empire too much credit. These are all four of its Titled Douluo. Every last one came."

Meng Hongchen froze, then burst out laughing.

"No way. The Heaven Dou Empire is such a big country, but it only has a handful of Titled Douluo? How does it stand up to Spirit Hall?"

"Does it have an Ultimate Douluo?"

Meng Hongchen was puzzled.

"No." Kong Deming smiled. "The high-altitude detection Soul Tool shows that the strongest of the four is only level 97."

As they talked and laughed,

Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Poison Douluo, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen flew into view.

They stopped a dozen or so meters from Kong Deming.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo spoke first. "Who are you? What are you doing on my land?!"

Li Chen smiled.

"Oh, this is yours? We thought we'd stumbled upon a wild treasure trove. Don't worry, we only took the immortal herbs. We didn't touch anything else!"

Dugu Bo's face went pale. He flew up to look and found that the ground around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, once covered in rare plants, was completely bare. They had packed up every last one!

"You people!"

Dugu Bo's heart ached. Damn it, he had guarded that treasure trove for years!

And this lot had harvested everything!

"Give me back my immortal herbs!"

Dugu Bo flew into a rage.

"Hey, don't get angry. We left the roots. They'll grow back after a while," Huo Yuhao said mockingly.

Now that he knew this old man was Poison Douluo and one of Tang San's people, Huo Yuhao saw no reason to be polite.

"You!"

"Who the hell are you? None of you are leaving until you answer for those immortal herbs!"

Dugu Bo clenched his fists, killing intent flashing in his emerald eyes.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Kong Deming stepped forward, narrowing his eyes.

"Now, now, let's not get worked up. My friend Dugu Bo has had too much to drink. We can talk this through!" Ning Fengzhi hurriedly said.

He tugged at Dugu Bo, urging him to calm down.

Huo Yuhao folded his arms.

"If he's had too much to drink, he can get lost! What, is he waiting for a serving of immortal herbs?"

Dugu Bo's vision went dark. He nearly coughed up blood from sheer fury, and the poison in his body almost slipped out of control.

Ning Fengzhi cleared his throat twice and stepped forward.

"Everyone, I am Ning Fengzhi, master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. These two are my sect's Titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo."

"This is Yu Yuanzhen, master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and known as Thunder Douluo. And this is Xue Qinghe, a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"And you are?"

Kong Deming snorted. "I am Kong Deming, an elder of the Sun Moon Sect. These young people are core disciples of my sect."

"The Sun Moon Sect has remained secluded for many years and only recently emerged. Today, I brought these disciples to tour Sunset Forest, and we happened upon the immortal herbs."

"We did not know they belonged to anyone. I hope you'll forgive us."

Kong Deming cupped his hands.

As far as he was concerned, that settled it.

Dugu Bo was dumbfounded with anger.

"You think saying 'forgive us' settles it? Give me back my immortal herbs!"

Meng Hongchen said, "We can't do that. We accidentally ate them all just now. You don't expect us to dig them out of our stomachs, do you?"

Xiao Hongchen grinned. "You could wait, though. There might still be some medicinal potency left when I pass them. Want to eat that?"

"Damn it!"

Dugu Bo exploded. "Your Sun Moon Sect has gone too far! Ning Fengzhi, what are we still talking for? Let's fight them!"

Behind the others, Qian Renxue laughed inwardly. Fight. Go on, fight. The bigger the fight, the better!

"Hmm?!"

Kong Deming stepped forward, ready to activate the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.

Dugu Bo's side might have four Titled Douluo, but Kong Deming was not the least bit afraid.

A single level of Soul Power could make a vast difference between Titled Douluo.

With the combat strength of an Ultimate Douluo, he might not be able to kill them all, but driving them off would be no trouble at all.

Ning Fengzhi hurried between the two sides and raised his hands.

"Everyone, calm down!"

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, hold the old poisoner back. He's losing his head."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded and restrained Dugu Bo. "Calm down. Let Fengzhi find out what's going on first."

Dugu Bo frowned. "What else is there to find out? Only Kong Deming is a Titled Douluo. The rest are clearly juniors."

"It's four against one, and we have Ning Fengzhi, the continent's greatest support-type spirit master, with us. What do we have to fear?!"

Chen Xin said nothing. He merely watched Kong Deming.

On the face of it, the advantage was indeed theirs.

But...

Chen Xin sensed an immense danger from Kong Deming. He could not afford to act rashly.
