Dugu Bo Returns

Faced with Lu Yang's merciless words, Meng Shenji and the other two education committee members were speechless. They had witnessed Qin Ming's training firsthand and had discussed this training method in private.

According to Zhi Lin, the third seat of the Education Committee, this training method is quite suitable for the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As Zhi Lin said, apart from a few commoner geniuses who were admitted through special admissions, all the students at the Heaven Dou Academy were children of noble families. Apart from being a little more talented, these people had nothing commendable in terms of personality and perseverance.

Perhaps letting Qin Ming train these little guys with this primitive method will strengthen their willpower?

However, Bai Baoshan, the second-in-command of the Education Committee, had a different opinion. He believed that Qin Ming's training method might be effective, but it was not suitable for Soul Master. In particular, those selected for the Heaven Dou Team One were all outstanding Soul Master from the Heaven Dou Academy. They had cultivated to the Soul Elder level at a young age and already possessed a certain degree of perseverance. Training them in this way would only waste their cultivation time.

Zhi Lin and Bai Baoshan disagreed, so they had to leave the decision to Meng Shenji. However, Meng Shenji suggested that they wait and see what the students' feedback was.

But to their surprise, just as they reached a conclusion, they received Message Lu Yang, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling had refused Qin Ming's training.

Needless to say, everyone in the continent with a bit of Soul Master background knows the power of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. With Ye Lingling Ye Lingling the team, the improvement to the entire team is immeasurable.

Dugu Yan is Dugu Bo's granddaughter. She herself is quite talented, and her Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul is a powerful group battle Martial Soul, making her an indispensable piece of the Soul Fighting Team.

Although Lu Yang is only eight years old, his Soul Power is already the highest in Heaven Dou Class One. Moreover, Lu Yang was personally sent to the academy by His Highness the Crown Prince. If he is dissatisfied, does that mean His Highness the Crown Prince is also dissatisfied with Qin Ming's training methods?

That's why they approached Lu Yang, wanting to find out his true thoughts. But after getting the answer, they were stumped.

As the second youngest Soul Emperor on the continent, Qin Ming Qin Ming seemed to possess considerable skill. However, given the special status of Lu Yang and his companions, they couldn't resort to overly forceful methods. Their initial attempts at persuasion were swallowed back after Lu Yang's explicit refusal.

Finally, Meng Shenji spoke up, "Xiao Yang, what do you think about having you, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling join the second team?"

"Sure, as long as it's not a waste of time for training, I have no objection," Lu Yang said.

Qian Renxue's intention in wanting him to join the Heaven Dou Academy's Soul Fighting Team —it was simply to trip up Bibi Dong. Although Lu Yang didn't want to be exposed in front of Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue was, after all, his current sugar daddy, and he couldn't refuse.

Qin Ming was the leader of Heaven Dou Team One Qin Ming, so naturally he didn't want to join Team Tian Dou. As for Team Tian Dou, although in the original story Heaven Dou Second Team was defeated by the Shrek Academy in one minute at the start of the match, if he, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling joined, that wouldn't have happened.

Moreover, there are still five years until the next competition. Even if his cultivation speed slows down in those five years, he should at least be able to cultivate to the Soul King level, right? Dugu Yan's Martial Soul has also improved in talent after its evolution, and with the medicinal effects of the Immortal Herb in her body, she might also be able to cultivate to the Soul King. With the two combat types and Ye Lingling's healing, it's not impossible for them to win even against the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

Upon hearing Lu Yang's answer, Meng Shenji and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lu Yang didn't object and it wouldn't cause the Crown Prince to be dissatisfied with them, that was enough. However, with Lu Yang, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling joining the second team, they would have to allocate some resources to the second team accordingly.

As for Team One, they'll leave it entirely to Qin Ming. If he achieves results, the three of them will risk their reputation to protect him in front of the Crown Prince and Xue Ye. But if he fails to achieve results, then it's his own fault for not being capable enough.

A few days later, as Lu Yang and Dugu Yan were sunbathing on recliners in the backyard of the Ye Family Medical Clinic, Dugu Bo's figure descended from the sky and landed in front of them.

"Grandpa, you're finally back!" Upon seeing Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan immediately stood up and went forward to hug Dugu Bo arm.

She had only Dugu Bo as family since she was a child. Although Dugu Bo was often away from her because he needed to use the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress the backlash of the toxins in his body, she was still somewhat unaccustomed to not being able to see him for almost a month like this.

"Haha, Yanzi, you missed me, didn't you? Grandpa brought you a gift this time!" Dugu Bo laughed as he took a wooden box from his Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan blinked and happily opened the wooden box, revealing an arm Soul Bone that emitted a faint glow.

"This is the Ghost Poison Jellyfish Right Arm Bone, which came from a ten-thousand-year-old Ghost Poison Jellyfish. My grandfather happened to encounter it when he went hunting Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Soul Beast with the Soul Hunting Team of Vast Sea City," Dugu Bo said.

"According to the Sea Soul Master of Vast Sea City, although these Soul Beast aren't very strong, the toxins within them are quite troublesome—a kind of mental poison. According to Lu Yang, the Jade Phosphorus Snake can be stored in Soul Bone. Although your Martial Soul has evolved, eliminating the risk of venom backlash, nurturing this right arm bone with your Martial Soul's poison might allow you to master a stronger form of mixed poison, which would be beneficial to you."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan smiled with delight.

"I knew Grandpa was the best!" Dugu Yan put away the Soul Bone and opened her arms to give Dugu Bo a big hug.

Looking at the smile on his granddaughter's face, Dugu Bo's eyes were full of kindness. The reason why he had been so gloomy before was partly due to the loss of his father in middle age, the loss of his son in old age, and the possibility of his granddaughter's early death.

Now, not only will Dugu Yan not die from the backlash of the poison, but his own backlash problem has also been resolved. In fact, his Soul Power cultivation has even advanced, and his lifespan has also increased, which has made his state of mind much better.

After a while, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan took their seats. He took out several boxes from his Soul Tool and placed them in front of Lu Yang: "Lu Yang, you asked me to get these for you. Inside are three pieces of ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, but they are all less than twenty thousand years old."

"These Sea Soul Beast are unlike land Soul Beast. Even with Titled Douluo like myself by your side, hunting them would be incredibly troublesome. However, most people don't know the uses of Whale Rubber, so buying it wouldn't cost much," Dugu Bo said.
