Green Lotus Sword Song swordsmanship, middle-aged Dugu Bo, young Dugu Xin
Sky Screen timeline...
After some time, Bibi Dong successfully absorbed the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings.
Once she finished absorbing them, Bibi Dong eagerly released them. Six amethyst wings as thin as cicada wings sprouted from her back, their surfaces covered in fine, spiderweb-like dark patterns, flowing with a faint violet glow.
"Let me try!"
With a thought from Bibi Dong, her wings began flapping continuously. She slowly rose into the air and circled several times.
"Hahaha, I, Bibi Dong, finally have wings too."
Before she had flown many laps, Bibi Dong suddenly lost control of her angle and began flailing wildly in the air, even the corner of her mouth beginning to drop toward the ground.
"Teacher, catch me!"
Bibi Dong shouted.
"This fool. Why fly so fast?"
Standing where he was, Nan Huai'an flicked a finger lightly. The Heaven-Burying Sword instantly shot out, pierced Bibi Dong's clothes, and pinned her straight to a tree trunk.
A clang rang out.
Bibi Dong had not even reacted.
Wasn't Teacher's method a little too simple and brutal?
Original story timeline...
Quite a few viewers laughed aloud.
"Has Brother Nan taken His Holiness the Pope for a target? Look at that bewildered expression on her face. She probably hasn't even realized what happened."
"I have to say, that move of Brother Nan's was really amusing. It also counts as a little lesson for His Holiness the Pope."
Crown Prince's residence
"Yes, that's right. That woman needs to be punished harshly."
Qian Renxue felt much better.
Unless Bibi Dong suffered a setback, she would not feel comfortable.
Shrek Academy
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
Who teaches a disciple like that? Looks to me like he's another muddleheaded incompetent.
"That's it. Give him a lesson he'll never forget in the end."
Xiao Wu, who had hidden in her dormitory, laughed in delight.
Seeing Bibi Dong make such a fool of herself was an absolutely unprecedented experience. You turned my mother into a Soul Ring. I must make you a laughingstock before everyone on the continent.
Pope's Palace
Bibi Dong's face turned ashen. I'd only just praised you, and now you treat Young Girl Dong like this. Isn't that going too far? You clearly had a perfectly good chance to catch her.
It's perfectly normal for a child to fail on her first attempt at flying!
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter!"
Hu Liena clutched her stomach, rocking back and forth with laughter.
Seeing her teacher look so ridiculous made her utterly delighted.
"Nana!"
Hu Liena's laughter stopped abruptly.
Don't turn around, don't turn around. As long as I don't turn around, Teacher can't see me.
Sky Screen timeline...
Nan Huai'an walked over to the tree trunk and pulled out the Heaven-Burying Sword. Bibi Dong dropped foolishly to the ground, staring blankly at Nan Huai'an.
Only after a good while did she come to her senses and say, looking deeply aggrieved:
"Teacher, how could you treat your disciple like this? I was only taking flight. I didn't do anything wrong!"
"This was just a different approach. Just tell me whether I caught you or not!"
Nan Huai'an winked at Bibi Dong with a smile.
"You... I... Teacher, you're the worst."
Bibi Dong stamped her foot in anger and simply tossed out that remark.
The viewers of the Sky Screen timeline were stunned.
"Why do I feel like Brother Nan's smile is so obnoxious?"
"Me too. Brother Nan certainly has a point, but he's just so obnoxious about it."
Pope's Palace
"I'm furious."
Bibi Dong wished she could personally pin Nan Huai'an to a tree. And he had spoken as though he were perfectly justified. Young Girl Dong was his final disciple!
Sky Screen timeline...
While Bibi Dong was fuming.
A system notification sounded in Nan Huai'an's mind.
[Disciple training in progress... Congratulations to the host on completing a milestone mission. Your disciple has absorbed an External Soul Bone. Reward obtained: "Green Lotus Sword Song" swordsmanship. It has already been automatically integrated into the host's body.]
"Green Lotus Sword Song" swordsmanship?
Nan Huai'an was a little surprised.
He had not expected the system's reward to actually be this swordsmanship.
While he was pondering, a sudden rustling came from the bushes.
"Who's there? Come out!"
Hiding behind Nan Huai'an, Bibi Dong shouted.
Looking at Bibi Dong, a fox borrowing a tiger's might, Nan Huai'an could not help laughing:
"You're shouting so loudly, so why are you hiding behind your teacher?"
Bibi Dong's pretty face flushed:
"Teacher, I'm just avoiding their sharp edge for the moment."
Nan Huai'an was also amused by the way Bibi Dong acted.
Looking toward the bushes again, he saw a middle-aged man with jade-green hair walk out, accompanied by a youth whose appearance resembled his.
"Were you the one who killed the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor?"
Seeing the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor's corpse, the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
"May I ask what advice you have?" Nan Huai'an asked in return.
The middle-aged man chuckled. "No advice. I was simply curious. I am Dugu Bo, and this is my son, Dugu Xin. We happened to be passing by and heard fighting, so we came to take a look."
Dugu Bo?
Nan Huai'an had not expected to encounter Dugu Bo at this point in time and was genuinely a little surprised. Dugu Xin beside him looked as though he had probably just obtained his First Soul Ring.
Dugu Bo's appearance gave the viewers of the Sky Screen timeline something of interest to watch.
"Poison Douluo! It's actually Poison Douluo! And Poison Douluo was rather handsome back then. Compared with how he looks now, he really was much better-looking."
"He certainly was handsome, but he's still far behind Brother Nan. Besides, that spacetime isn't our spacetime."
Quite a few viewers discussed it animatedly.
Dugu Manor
"Grandpa, look, you've appeared! And is that person beside you my father?"
Dugu Yan pointed at the Sky Screen, excitedly calling for Dugu Bo to look closely.
"I never imagined I was so handsome when I was young!"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, but when he saw Dugu Xin, he still felt some nostalgia for those days. Sadly, Dugu Xin would die from Jade Phosphorus Snake venom.
Could it be... that I have to watch this tragedy happen all over again?
"Grandpa, you're really full of yourself. But you really were handsome back then. Still, was my father such a little thing?"
Dugu Yan studied him carefully. This was her first time seeing her father. When her parents had given birth to her, they had passed away for other reasons, and Dugu Yan did not elaborate on the specific cause of their deaths.
Dugu Yan was quite looking forward to seeing with her own eyes what her father had looked like as a child.
Pope's Palace
"Dugu Bo, that old poisoner-why did he have so much character when he was young? I don't remember him being like that."
Yue Guan truly could not reconcile the present Dugu Bo with the Dugu Bo on the Sky Screen.
Even with several decades between them, surely he should not have changed so much?
A Titled Douluo could live for over a hundred years, yet Dugu Bo had already aged to that extent before reaching a hundred.
"Yue Guan, we barely ever saw Dugu Bo back then. By the time we met him, he was already a Titled Douluo, so you have no memories of him from that period."
Gui Mei spotted the issue at a glance.
"That's true. But what exactly could bring about such a huge change in a person?"
Yue Guan was extremely curious.
As everyone across the continent watched the Sky Screen, Dugu Bo's next move left them staring in astonishment.
