Using a Dragon-Slaying Blade to Kill a Chicken

For a time, the two well-informed men engaged in a heated war of words, trading barbs back and forth with great intensity.

But no matter how fiercely they talked, neither could do anything to the other.

In the end, the two could only snort coldly and fall silent.

"Since that's the case, then let's go together! Xiao Yu, you don't have any objections, do you?"

After a moment of silence, Yu Luomian realized that he could not persuade Dugu Bo, so he changed his approach and turned to Xiao Yu.

He knew that if he asked Erlong, she would definitely choose to make him leave. Asking Xiao Yu was the safer option.

Seeing Yu Luomian push him into speaking up as the peacemaker, Xiao Yu could not help but smile bitterly.

But now that he had been called out by name, it would not be appropriate for him to refuse.

After all, Yu Luomian was his teacher's father.

He could not ignore him too blatantly.

Now that Yu Luomian had taken a step back and suggested going together, what else could he say?

Could he really forcefully deny him any face?

His teacher might not say anything, but she would definitely feel bad inside.

Her disciple had ignored her father. Although Liu Erlong hated Yu Luomian, she had not become completely heartless toward him.

"Then, if that's the case, it seems this is the only way."

"Hmph!"

Dugu Bo could see Xiao Yu's helplessness as well, so he did not say anything further and merely snorted coldly.

That was also his tacit agreement to let Yu Luomian accompany them.

Dugu Yan had desperately wanted to go with them.

However, she had only broken through to level thirty half a year ago and was not yet ready to obtain a Spirit Ring. Moreover, obtaining a Spirit Ring involved considerable danger, so Dugu Bo would not allow her to come along.

Before they left, Dugu Yan fiercely kissed Xiao Yu on the cheek.

She told Xiao Yu to come back safely.

That sight made Dugu Bo's teeth itch with fury. But when he thought about how Yu Luomian beside him would definitely seize the chance to mock him if he showed any displeasure, he could only grit his teeth inwardly.

Thus, in order to help Xiao Yu obtain his second Spirit Ring, a level seventy-six Soul Saint, a level eighty-nine Soul Douluo, and a level ninety-one Titled Douluo set off for Sunset Forest with Xiao Yu.

Before long, the group of four arrived at Sunset Forest.

As they walked through Sunset Forest, Yu Luomian used the aura of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to frighten off the low-level spirit beasts nearby while speaking to Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, do you have any thoughts about the Spirit Ring you want?"

"A Light Attribute one. Preferably an draconic spirit beast with dragon bloodline!"

Xiao Yu answered immediately.

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yu Luomian unconsciously frowned slightly.

Light Attribute?!

Could that be one of the reasons his Martial Soul had mutated?

It was not impossible.

Just as Yu Luomian was about to continue asking how Xiao Yu had risen from level one Soul Power to level twenty so quickly, he suddenly recalled that Xiao Yu had not yet truly accepted them. Even if he got an answer now, it would not be of much use, and Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo would likely dislike him for prying. It would be better to wait until Xiao Yu had truly accepted them before asking.

So Yu Luomian suppressed the urge to ask and said instead,

"Alright, then let's go! Today, your Master's Master will make sure you return satisfied!"

Yu Luomian led the way in front, while Liu Erlong protected Xiao Yu.

Dugu Bo leisurely walked at the rear.

"Then thank you, Master's Master! Thank you, Grandpa Dugu! Thank you, Teacher!"

Xiao Yu cupped his hands toward the three of them.

Hearing Xiao Yu address them so appropriately, Yu Luomian could not help but smile.

He straightened his back even more.

Dugu Bo also revealed a smile.

Liu Erlong lovingly rubbed Xiao Yu's head.

For a time, because of Xiao Yu's forms of address, the atmosphere between the three that had seemed ready to freeze at any moment eased considerably.

Very soon, the group followed the path toward the middle region of the forest.

The outer regions were mostly inhabited by spirit beasts between ten and roughly five hundred years old. If they wanted an exceptional spirit beast close to a thousand years old,

they would be better off going deeper inside.

Not long after entering the middle region of the forest, they spotted a peculiar spirit beast radiating dazzling golden light all over its body.

"Well now, our luck is pretty good. We found a Light Attribute spirit beast as soon as we came in. What do you think, Xiao Yu? How about this nine-hundred-year Bright Spirit Butterfly?

"Although it isn't a draconic spirit beast, its attributes are quite good, and its combat strength rivals that of a thousand-year spirit beast! And if you're lucky enough to obtain an External Soul Bone, you might even be able to fly!"

Yu Luomian asked.

"Tch! You think he'll be able to fly just because you say so? What nonsense."

Dugu Bo sneered.

Yu Luomian ignored him and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at the spirit beast, fell silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, Master's Master. I still want to try looking for a draconic spirit beast. If we really can't find one in the end, then we can choose this one!"

Xiao Yu was not concerned about the Spirit Ring Age while he still had unopened treasure chests. After all, after opening two treasure chests, his first Spirit Ring Age had already increased to one thousand five hundred years.

Therefore, what he needed most right now was not a spirit beast with a greater Spirit Ring Age, but the Spirit Ring best suited for him—a spirit beast containing dragon blood that could allow his Sleeping Dragon Martial Soul to evolve!

So even if the Spirit Ring Age was somewhat lower, it would still be worth it as long as it could bring about Martial Soul Evolution!

After all, Xiao Yu could guess that future treasure chests would definitely offer rewards that increased Spirit Ring Age by ten thousand years. A difference of several hundred years now would mean nothing in the future.

"..."

"Alright, then let's look deeper inside! Ah, what a pity. Most of the spirit beasts in our clan's Thunder Valley are lightning-attributed. There aren't any Light Attribute ones at all. Otherwise, I could have taken you straight back to the clan to get one!"

Yu Luomian secretly sighed over the missed opportunity.

Afterward, the group prepared to continue onward and see whether there were any spirit beasts in the middle region suitable for Xiao Yu.

However, just as they were about to leave, they heard an exclamation.

"Wow!! What a beautiful butterfly! Grandfather, can I use her as my second Spirit Ring?"

"Rongrong, don't be naughty. How can your second Spirit Ring come from a spirit beast like that? Your father has already planned out all your Spirit Rings for you!"

Following that voice came another one, sharp and full of vigor.

Upon hearing both that voice and that form of address, the people who had been preparing to leave all stopped.

Dugu Bo was the first to call out.

"Hm?! Chen Xin?!"

"Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?! Dugu Bo?!"

Hearing the voice, Chen Xin looked ahead and immediately saw the strange combination of Yu Luomian, Dugu Bo, Xiao Yu, and Liu Erlong.

Isn't Dugu Bo a member of the imperial family? How did he end up with Yu Luomian, one of the upper three clans?

Looking at the odd group, Chen Xin was puzzled.
