Yu Tianheng's Will to Live Vanished

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yu smiled and said.

"Senior, as a Titled Douluo, it is this junior's honor that you are willing to invest in me. It shows that you think highly of me, so naturally, I would not dare speak carelessly or disrespectfully before you!

"I also clearly understand that although I am talented, I am merely talented. I naturally cannot compare to a Titled Douluo powerhouse like you, Senior, who has been renowned for many years! Whether in bearing or strength, it is the same!"

For some reason, Dugu Bo felt incomparably pleased as he listened to Xiao Yu's words.

Many people had flattered him like this before, yet none of it had ever made him feel as good as Xiao Yu's flattery did today!

Though he was delighted inside, he still wore a cold and heartless expression as he sneered.

"Enough, stop flattering me. I have never liked hearing such empty words. Since you said it, remember to do it. All right, this old man will be leaving first. You can head back on your own!"

With that, Dugu Bo vanished.

After seeing Dugu Bo disappear, Xiao Yu also let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it was best to take the sincere approach with Dugu Bo. If he had relied on empty words, Dugu Bo might not have reacted this way.

Xiao Yu then hurried over to Liu Erlong, supporting her by the waist as he prepared to take her back to Blue Tyrant Academy.

Hiss! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!

When her nerves had been taut earlier, Liu Erlong had not felt much pain.

Now that everything had settled, her previously tense nerves finally relaxed.

The moment her mind relaxed, she immediately felt the pain throughout her body intensify to an unbearable degree.

Liu Erlong was now in so much pain that she could not even walk.

"Sleeping Dragon, use Bright Breath!"

Seeing Liu Erlong frowning tightly in pain, Xiao Yu spoke to Sleeping Dragon beside him.

"Bright Breath?"

"Yes, Teacher. The spirit skill from the first spirit ring I just acquired is called Bright Breath. Not only does it possess considerable destructive power, it also has a strong healing effect and can cleanse some negative emotions! Although my strength is still low, since it is a healing-type spirit skill, I think it should at least make you feel a little better!"

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Sleeping Dragon breathed a stream of golden breath toward Liu Erlong. The breath entered Liu Erlong's body without any obstruction.

In an instant, Liu Erlong, who had felt pain all over her body, sensed the agony rapidly weakening.

Moreover, Liu Erlong could feel the bleeding wounds on her body being staunched by this bright energy.

"Damn, the effect is this good?! Xiao Yu, your First Spirit Skill is practically divine!"

Feeling the state of her body, Liu Erlong's eyes were full of astonishment.

The First Spirit Skill's effect was actually so good that it could even heal a Soul Saint like her.

"Teacher, that is only the spirit skill's effect. It does not truly heal your injuries to any great extent; it only eases the pain in your body. Once the spirit skill's duration ends, you will return to your previous state. But it is fine. I will cast the First Spirit Skill once every so often, so you can walk back more steadily!"

Xiao Yu explained.

How could a First Spirit Skill possibly heal a Soul Saint so miraculously?

"This is already very good, Xiao Yu. You did well, kid. I didn't spoil you for nothing. Come on, let's head back to the academy!"

Then, supported by Xiao Yu, the two began walking toward the academy.

Sleeping Dragon followed beside Liu Erlong, occasionally breathing out a mouthful of Bright Breath to keep her pain from becoming too severe.

As they walked back, Liu Erlong looked at Xiao Yu supporting her, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

This journey to obtain Xiao Yu's first spirit ring, which should have been exceedingly simple, had instead caused a tremendous change in Liu Erlong's state of mind.

Especially what she had done while helping Xiao Yu absorb the spirit ring, as well as the tragic contrast between those two silhouettes from behind...

Together with that voice in her heart, all of it left Liu Erlong deeply conflicted and struggling.

On the way back, Xiao Yu also took the opportunity to examine his system panel.

Host: Xiao Yu!

Soul Power: Level 15!

Martial Soul: Sleeping Dragon!

Martial Soul Type: Bright Dragon Lizard species!

Evolution Path: Dragon Lizard species → Lesser Dragon species!

Evolution Count: None!

Realm Aura: 20 points!

Achievement Obtained: Liu Erlong will never forget the host! Tenfold cultivation acceleration!

Target Conquered: Liu Erlong (44%)

Looking at this panel, which was far more impressive than it had been at the start, Xiao Yu felt much more at ease.

After all, he could now truly be considered a genius.

"Yu Tianheng, how many times have I told you? Call me Dugu Yan. Don't call me Yan'er. We are not that close yet!"

"Yan'er, I just wanted to invite you to a meal. Look, I've already reserved the restaurant. Just do me the honor of coming with me, okay?"

"I'm not going. My Grandfather is back today, and I'm going home to see him!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

The psychological shadow from the last time he had pestered Dugu Yan and been fiercely threatened by Dugu Bo had not faded yet.

When Dugu Yan saw that Yu Tianheng did not even dare let out a peep after hearing that her Grandfather had returned, she became increasingly annoyed with him.

He did not even dare meet or interact with her Grandfather, yet he wanted to pursue her? He was simply dreaming!

Just as Dugu Yan was preparing to leave by herself, she heard a voice call out.

"Tianheng?! Why are you here?"

Hearing someone call out, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan both turned to look.

Before long, they saw Xiao Yu supporting Liu Erlong, along with Sleeping Dragon standing beside them.

"Oh my god, Auntie!! How did you end up like this?! You're so badly injured—what happened?!"

Seeing Liu Erlong in such a state, Yu Tianheng immediately hurried forward and helped support her.

At the same time, he indignantly said.

"Auntie, who injured you like this? Tell me, and I'll avenge you!! Anyone who dares bully someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is courting death!"

Yu Tianheng spoke righteously, then subconsciously glanced in Dugu Yan's direction.

With Dugu Yan beside him, he wanted to show off his bold and heroic side as much as possible, letting her see his courage.

After hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Liu Erlong had wanted to say something to comfort him, but sharp-eyed Xiao Yu spoke before her.

"The one who injured Teacher was a Golden Armored Illusion-Breaking Beast of around eighty thousand years. If I remember correctly, it can contend with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast through the power of its bloodline. There, it's in Sunset Forest behind us. It should still be in the outer region. If you go look for it, you should be able to find it! Teacher's vengeance depends on you!"

"..."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words and seeing his utterly serious expression, Yu Tianheng subconsciously let go of Liu Erlong's hand. His face turned incredibly pale and awkward.
