Dugu Bo Was Stunned: Yin Yu at Level 95? Yin Changqing: What Will You Offer in Exchange?

"Hold someone hostage?"

Dugu Bo sneered, his usual pride as the Poison Douluo returning.

"I may not rank among the strongest Titled Douluo.

But when it comes to killing with poison or destroying a sect's foundations, few Titled Douluo in this world would dare push me too far!

If they try anything underhanded, I'll stake my life on making the Holy Dragon Sect bleed!"

But the vicious aura around Dugu Bo soon subsided.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Still... that boy left himself plenty of room to maneuver.

He didn't threaten me outright. Instead, he proposed a 'fair exchange.'

The Holy Dragon Sect is on the rise, and I hear Yin Changqing is regarded as its future.

They have no reason to fall out with me completely over a ticking time bomb like myself."

Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather.

"Then you mean..."

"We're going to the Holy Dragon Sect!"

Dugu Bo's eyes snapped open, an eerie green light reflected in them.

"I want to see for myself what card that brat is holding. At twelve, he's already worked out the balance of power in the world and exactly where I'm vulnerable!"

"If the Holy Dragon Sect really has a way to stop the Snake Poison Backlash, or rare medicinal herbs that can help...

Forget trading herbs. I'd even owe the Holy Dragon Sect a favor!"

Early the next morning.

A streak of green light silently crossed the sky above Heaven Dou City. Without alerting anyone, it raced straight toward the Holy Dragon Sect's mountain gate.

At the Holy Dragon Sect's Main Peak Training Ground.

The morning mist had yet to clear. Dressed in crisp white training clothes, Yin Changqing practiced a set of basic Dragon Fist moves in the center of the grounds.

Each punch sent a low rumble of thunder through the air.

Tempered by Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, his body was now as powerful as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast cub of the same rank. Vast Bloodline Power surged through his every movement.

Just then, Yin Changqing paused mid-punch.

He slowly lowered his fists and stood still, then turned toward a point in the sky. A knowing smile touched his lips.

"Sooner than I expected," Yin Changqing murmured.

His words had barely left his mouth when it happened.

Boom!

An immense pressure of Soul Power, bitterly cold and laced with billowing green mist, crashed down from above and engulfed the Holy Dragon Sect's entire main peak!

The disciples around the training ground paled. They summoned their martial souls and braced for battle.

"Who dares trespass on the Holy Dragon Sect's grounds?!"

Several Soul Sage elders roared and shot into the air.

"Stand down."

A deep, resonant voice came from the Main Peak Council Hall.

The next instant, two terrifying Titled Douluo auras surged skyward!

One was like a platinum dragon, fierce and blazing, bearing Lightfire that could purify all things;

The other was like an abyssal Demon Dragon, heavy as a mountain, bearing the suffocating pressure of a level-95 Super Douluo!

The two auras wove together into an invisible net overhead, sweeping away the green mist and biting chill with ease!

A figure in green robes appeared in midair.

It was Dugu Bo!

Hovering there, Dugu Bo felt the two Titled Douluo auras rushing toward him. His pupils contracted sharply!

"Level 91... and a level-95 Super Douluo?!"

Shock surged through Dugu Bo.

The intelligence said Yin Yu was powerful, but Dugu Bo had never imagined his Soul Power had reached the terrifying level of a level-95 Super Douluo!

In just a few years, Yin Yu had gone from newly becoming a Titled Douluo to reaching level 95?!

Tuoba Xi shocked him even more!

The fluctuations of Tuoba Xi's Soul Power were extraordinarily strange. He was clearly only level 91, yet his Soul Power was every bit as dense and abundant as that of a level-93 Titled Douluo!

Even the rising golden-white flames stirred a trace of instinctive fear in Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!

How are these two old monsters several times stronger than the intelligence said?!

A bead of cold sweat formed at Dugu Bo's temple.

Confident in his own strength as a Titled Douluo, he had planned to release some pressure before landing and put the Holy Dragon Sect on the back foot. That would give him an advantage in the negotiations to come.

Instead, the Holy Dragon Sect's hidden strength seemed bottomless!

If a fight broke out against a level-95 Super Douluo and a strangely powerful level-91 Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo might not even get a chance to escape!

"Hahaha!

"Mr. Dugu, welcome! Forgive the Holy Dragon Sect for not coming out to greet you!"

Tuoba Xi's hearty laughter rang through the valley.

Tuoba Xi and Yin Yu rose into the air together and stopped level with Dugu Bo. They wore polite smiles, but their Soul Power remained poised, covering every route of escape.

Dugu Bo forced down his shock, withdrew his poisonous mist and Soul Power, and drifted down to the center of the training ground.

Tuoba Xi and Yin Yu landed as well.

At the elders' direction, the disciples withdrew quickly and in good order. Only four people remained on the training ground.

Tuoba Xi, Yin Yu, Dugu Bo, and Yin Changqing, who stood calmly in the center.

Dugu Bo's gaze passed over Tuoba Xi and Yin Yu before fixing on twelve-year-old Yin Changqing.

"Mr. Dugu, I hope you've been well."

Yin Changqing bowed slightly in greeting. His smile was gentle, his composure nothing like that of a twelve-year-old facing a Titled Douluo.

"I said in Heaven Dou City the other day that you were welcome to visit for tea at any time.

Your visit today is an honor for the Holy Dragon Sect."

Dugu Bo snorted. His expression was still haughty, but his tone was noticeably less forceful than it had been in Heaven Dou City.

"Boy, spare me the empty courtesies.

You know perfectly well why I came to your Holy Dragon Sect today!"

Dugu Bo turned to Tuoba Xi and Yin Yu, his voice low.

"Sect masters, I'll get straight to the point.

I'm here for two things.

First, what exactly did that boy from your Holy Dragon Sect mean by what he said at the Prince's Mansion that day?

Second..."

Dugu Bo gave Yin Changqing a long, hard look.

"Does the Holy Dragon Sect have a way to completely cure or suppress the Snake Poison Backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent?!"

A brief silence fell over the training ground.

Tuoba Xi and Yin Yu exchanged a glance. Both saw a hint of amusement in the other's eyes.

The situation was entirely in the Holy Dragon Sect's hands.

Yin Changqing stepped forward. Looking into Dugu Bo's green eyes, which flickered with urgency and wariness, he answered with a blunt question of his own.

"Mr. Dugu, before I answer those two questions, I'd like to ask you something."

"If the Holy Dragon Sect can not only completely cure the Snake Poison Backlash in your granddaughter Dugu Yan, but even help your own Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul advance and free you from the backlash as well..."

Yin Changqing narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.

"Mr. Dugu, what would you be willing to offer... in exchange for this deal with the Holy Dragon Sect?"

Dugu Bo trembled slightly and clenched his fists tight.
