Hearing Xue Tianmo say this, Dugu Yan was overjoyed.

"Really?"

She could hardly believe it.

After all, she had always wanted to completely resolve the toxins in her body, but she had never found a way.

"Of course it's true."

"The only problem is that finding a place with exceptionally abundant spiritual energy won't be easy."

As soon as Xue Tianmo finished speaking, Dugu Yan sprang excitedly to her feet and said,

"I know a place like that."

"But before we go there, I need to take you to meet my grandfather."

Xue Tianmo was not surprised by what Dugu Yan said.

After all, others might not know, but he knew very well.

Dugu Yan's grandfather was none other than Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo.

Seeing how calm Xue Tianmo was, Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback.

"Why aren't you asking who my grandfather is?"

Xue Tianmo smiled. "Who is your grandfather?"

Dugu Yan frowned slightly, feeling that Xue Tianmo was being a little too composed.

After a brief pause, she said,

"My grandfather is a Titled Douluo, and he has quite a bad temper."

"He happens to be in Heaven Dou Imperial City right now. When we see him later, let me speak to him first."

Xue Tianmo nodded and agreed.

Very soon, Dugu Yan pulled Xue Tianmo out of the little house.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been standing guard outside, was startled, a strange gleam flashing through her eyes.

Before she could react, Xue Tianmo had already said,

"Zhuqing, you go back first. I'll go with her."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively replied, "Alright."

Dugu Yan paid no attention to Zhu Zhuqing and directly pulled Xue Tianmo away.

Watching their somewhat intimate behavior, Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed even more deeply, and an unexpected pang of jealousy rose within her.

Only after watching the two disappear into the distance did she take a deep breath. Without lingering, she headed toward the imperial city.

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan walked some distance with her arm linked through Xue Tianmo's.

But just then, someone appeared on the road ahead.

The newcomer was a man with a tall, slender build, standing over one meter ninety.

His neatly trimmed black hair stood upright like steel needles, and his hands were long and powerful.

He was holding a large bouquet of roses.

The man was none other than Yu Tianheng.

The moment Yu Tianheng saw Dugu Yan and Xue Tianmo, he froze where he stood.

Especially when he saw Dugu Yan holding Xue Tianmo's arm, he was completely at a loss.

"Yanzi..."

As he stared, the flowers in Yu Tianheng's hands fell straight to the ground.

"How could this be?"

"My Yanzi! She... she's with another man..."

Yu Tianheng muttered in stunned disbelief, and the flames of anger immediately ignited in his heart.

After standing there blankly for a moment, he strode forward.

Seeing that the newcomer was Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan remained utterly indifferent.

Xue Tianmo did not care either.

Before Dugu Yan could say anything, Yu Tianheng demanded first,

"Yanzi! Who is he? You two..."

Dugu Yan did not let Yu Tianheng finish. She said coldly,

"Don't block the way if there's nothing important! Move aside!"

"We have things to do!"

With that, Dugu Yan prepared to pull Xue Tianmo away.

Seeing this, Yu Tianheng stepped across their path, disbelief written all over his face.

"Yanzi? Don't you love me anymore?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan shot Yu Tianheng a disdainful glare.

Yu Tianheng had always been pursuing her.

She had long been fed up with him and found him incredibly irritating.

Suddenly, an idea came to Dugu Yan.

She glanced sidelong at Yu Tianheng and said,

"Yu Tianheng! I'm really sorry, but... I already have someone I love!"

As she spoke, Dugu Yan gazed affectionately at Xue Tianmo, whose arm she was holding.

"Hm?"

Caught under Dugu Yan's gaze, Xue Tianmo was secretly taken aback and somewhat speechless.

He naturally saw that Dugu Yan was using him as a shield.

"Heh heh!"

After hearing Dugu Yan's words, the flames of fury in Yu Tianheng's heart blazed even fiercer. His gaze shifted and locked directly onto Xue Tianmo.

The moment he looked at him, battle intent surged in his eyes.

"Kid, you dare steal Yu Tianheng's woman? I challenge you to a duel!"

Yu Tianheng said in a deep voice.

He was extremely confident, believing that no one was more worthy of Dugu Yan than he was.

Since Xue Tianmo dared take away the woman he liked, he would definitely teach him a proper lesson.

"A duel?"

Xue Tianmo gave a wry smile and was about to say something.

But at that moment, Yu Tianheng spread his arms, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from within him.

Boom!

Immediately afterward, Yu Tianheng released his Martial Soul.

Under Martial Soul Possession, a dragon's roar rang out as a massive blue dragon soared and roared.

Then, a dazzling blue light suddenly lit up between Yu Tianheng's brows before instantly spreading from his forehead throughout his body.

Strands of blue-violet lightning burst forth like little snakes, coiling and darting around his body.

Moreover, a blue lightning mark appeared on Yu Tianheng's forehead!

"Yu Tianheng! Have you gone mad?"

Seeing Yu Tianheng's furious appearance, Dugu Yan could not help shouting.

Yu Tianheng narrowed his eyes, his expression dark, and said coldly,

"Yanzi, I just want to prove to you that this guy is inferior to me!"

Dugu Yan was stunned and had just been about to say something when Xue Tianmo suddenly looked at her.

"Yanyan, leave it to me."

As he spoke, Xue Tianmo slipped his hand free from Dugu Yan's arm and stepped forward a few paces.

Seeing how confident Xue Tianmo was, the anger in Yu Tianheng's heart grew even stronger.

Boom!

The next instant, the first soul ring around him suddenly lit up.

Thunder Dragon Claw!

As his first soul skill activated, Yu Tianheng condensed a Thunder Dragon Claw and slashed it straight at Xue Tianmo.

Rumble!

As the claw descended, the air along its path violently distorted, erupting with crackling sounds that sent chills down one's spine.

Xue Tianmo stood where he was, his expression completely calm.

He did not even release his own Martial Soul.

This sight left both Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan stunned.

In less than a moment, the Thunder Dragon Claw had already reached Xue Tianmo.

Boom!

Xue Tianmo smiled calmly, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within him!

The instant this aura appeared, the temperature of the surrounding space plummeted.

Then, an Ice Sword unexpectedly condensed in Xue Tianmo's hand.

Afterward, Xue Tianmo swung his sword fiercely at the Thunder Dragon Claw.

Bang!

A deafening boom resounded.

When they looked again, the once-menacing Thunder Dragon Claw had been shattered by Xue Tianmo's single strike!

"Ah?"

Yu Tianheng's heart shook violently at the sight, his face filled with disbelief.

Before he could recover from his shock, Xue Tianmo flashed and vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already before Yu Tianheng as though he had shifted through space.

Seeing Xue Tianmo appear before him like a ghost, Yu Tianheng was utterly shocked, his pupils widening round.

Just as he was about to strike again, an icy, piercing aura instantly enveloped him.

Looking closely, he saw that the Ice Sword had already been pressed directly against his throat.

"With strength like yours, go back and train some more!"

Xue Tianmo said indifferently. After sheathing his sword, he gestured to Dugu Yan.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan hurried forward, linked her arm with Xue Tianmo's, and left with him.

Yu Tianheng stood there dejectedly, his mind buzzing.

"Yanzi! My Yanzi is gone! How can I live without you?"

Watching the two leave sweetly together, Yu Tianheng roared inwardly.
