Actually, after beating up Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianlong had felt thoroughly vindicated, but he had also been a little uneasy.
After all, who knew whether the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would leap over the wall like a cornered dog and come after him directly?
So when he had discovered someone in his room just now, Yu Tianlong had been uneasy.
But now, a single sentence from Qian Renxue had swept all that unease away.
With someone from the Worship Hall coming, he had no idea what the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could possibly put up against them.
Even Yu Yuanzhen, a Titled Douluo with formidable combat strength, stood no chance against the Worship Hall!
With his god's-eye view, he naturally knew that Spirit Hall had more Titled Douluo than those it displayed openly.
He just did not know who they had sent this time.
Nor did he know whether the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would expose his connection to Spirit Hall after being threatened by them.
After all, Spirit Hall would not stand up for a child for no reason.
But on closer thought, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan probably would not dare.
After all, who would dare gamble with their clan's future?
Even if Yu Yuanzhen were a stupid pig, someone under him would stop him!
But Yu Yuanzhen was no stupid pig. On the contrary, he was very clever.
Yu Tianlong never dared underestimate anyone in this world, even when he already knew the course of the plot.
Yu Tianlong had wanted to say something more to Snake Lance.
But Snake Lance did not mind.
"All right, whatever you want to say, I suggest you tell the young mistress in person. I'll head back to report first. Remember to ask for help promptly if you run into any trouble."
After saying this, Snake Lance vanished into the darkness.
Only Yu Tianlong remained, holding the illustrated immortal herb guide, the corners of his mouth curving slightly upward.
"It really does feel nice to have someone care about you!"
But soon, Yu Tianlong could no longer smile.
Because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect treated him very well, and so did Qian Renxue.
Yet those two forces would definitely fight in the future.
Was he supposed to just watch helplessly?
At that thought, Yu Tianlong felt rather caught up in the drama.
He could not even think of a good solution.
After all, as Yu Tianlong saw it, there was nothing wrong with Spirit Hall unifying the continent.
After all, the country Yu Tianlong had lived in during his previous life had once had a dynasty that fell in its second generation, yet its achievements were unparalleled.
A standardized script, standardized cart axles, and standardized weights and measures.
It had forged a conviction for the people of later generations: the conviction of grand unification.
And that was what Bibi Dong was doing now, though she might not have that intention.
Yu Tianlong was no saint, but to be honest, the chance to take part in such a great achievement and become a famous figure in history tempted him greatly.
After thinking for a while, Yu Tianlong still had not found a solution.
He could hardly tell the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not to resist and to submit directly to Spirit Hall, could he?
That would be far too heartless.
In the end, it still came down to strength!
Yu Tianlong sighed. Rather than torment himself needlessly here, he might as well improve his strength. Once he was strong enough to sway the entire continent, both Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have to listen to his ideas.
Perhaps coexistence and unification would both be possible then!
At that thought, Yu Tianlong looked at the book in his hands.
Upon turning past the title page, Yu Tianlong was instantly drawn to the immortal herbs depicted inside.
Yue Guan really lived up to his name!
Every immortal herb in the guide had an illustration and a written description, with its method of use laid out clearly.
The guide was not very thick, and Yu Tianlong finished reading it in no time.
After finishing it, Yu Tianlong's mood immediately brightened.
"I'll have to find some time to hoodwink Dugu Yan."
"I just don't know what Dugu Bo will think. Forget it, I'll play it by ear when the time comes!"
Yu Tianlong had long since come up with an idea for hoodwinking Dugu Yan.
After all, with a precedent to follow, Yu Tianlong only needed to adjust his pitch a little, and he might well fool Dugu Yan and the Dugu Bo behind her!
"Little Cho, come out and eat!"
In high spirits, Yu Tianlong summoned Cho'Gath, then tossed the corpse of the ten-thousand-year flying Soul Beast out of his Storage Soul Tool.
Looking at the food on the ground, Cho'Gath happily began eating.
Heaven was great, earth was great, but food was greatest!
Hmm... second greatest, then. Master was greatest!
After Cho'Gath finished eating, Yu Tianlong began his cultivation for the day.
After all, the Soul Power and physical strength fed back by the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast were rather substantial.
Yu Tianlong still needed to adjust to them.
Early the next morning, Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong arrived at Yu Tianlong's residence.
Looking at the two girls who had come running over to call for him so early, Yu Tianlong felt quite helpless.
"Senior, Rongrong, don't you two need to cultivate in the morning?"
Hearing Yu Tianlong's words, Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong both shook their heads guiltily.
"It's not like that. Today's just a little special. You only just enrolled, so I wanted to help you get more familiar with the academy."
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Yu Tianlong knew it was an excuse.
But he did not expose it. After all, he had plans of his own today.
At that thought, Yu Tianlong looked directly at Dugu Yan with a puzzled expression, then put on a solemn air.
"Senior, let's set that aside for now. Why do I feel like you've been poisoned?"
Hearing this, Dugu Yan looked bewildered, not knowing why Yu Tianlong would say such a thing.
"Huh? I haven't been poisoned. Junior, why would you say that?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianlong remembered something. Perhaps Dugu Yan had not yet suffered an outbreak of the poison at this point, so she did not know she had been poisoned.
Dugu Bo had never told Dugu Yan about it either, which was why Yu Tianlong's question left her so confused.
Just as Yu Tianlong thought his plan could go no further today, he suddenly spotted someone green from head to toe.
Green hair, green eyes, green fingernails, and a cold, sinister gaze like a venomous snake's. Standing five meters away from him, the person slowly walked over.
After seeing those distinguishing features, Yu Tianlong knew his chance had come!
"Boy, how did you know Yanzi was poisoned?"
Hearing that voice, Dugu Yan instinctively turned around. When she saw her grandfather, she was instantly delighted.
"Grandpa, what brings you to the academy?"
Watching her granddaughter throw herself toward her, Dugu Yan caught her in an embrace, a smile appearing on her gloomy face.
"Grandpa missed Yanzi a little, so I came over to see you."
"Yanzi, is this a new friend of yours?"
Dugu Yan nodded, then introduced him happily:
"Grandpa, this is my junior. He's a real genius! He's only eight, but he's already a Soul Elder above rank thirty. And he's the child who was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan two years ago."
Hearing her granddaughter's words, Dugu Yan's gaze changed, even showing a trace of disbelief.
So, after carefully sensing Yu Tianlong's body with her Soul Power, she found that he was indeed just as her granddaughter had said.
He even surpassed her granddaughter's description.
Just what kind of freak was this!
