Tian Dou City, Dugu Mansion.
As soon as he landed, Dugu Bo let out a long sigh of relief, his face still beaming with excitement.
He poured himself a cup of tea and sneered:
"happy!
That felt so good!
I've disliked Yu Tianheng for a long time. He always acts like he's the best in the world, without even knowing his own limitations.
Now that we've gotten rid of him, my grandson and I can finally have some peace and quiet!
Dugu Yan sat to one side, her expression calm.
Although she had just ended a relationship, she was now filled with anticipation for the future and a desire for power.
"Grandpa, what do we do next?"
Dugu Yan asked, her eyes gleaming:
"Although I don't plan to go back to the academy, the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is about to begin in two years."
With my current skill level, if I joined a nominally affiliated academy to compete, winning the championship would be a piece of cake.
"Of course!"
Dugu Bo slammed his teacup down and said arrogantly:
"My granddaughter is now a level 53 Soul King!"
The fourth ring takes 100,000 years, and the fifth ring takes 70,000 years!
If this setup were revealed, it would be enough to scare the Pope of the Spirit Hall to death, let alone win the championship!
Ha ha ha ha! "
"idiot."
Just as Dugu Bo was getting carried away with his triumph, Yu Nan's icy voice exploded in his mind without any politeness.
Dugu Bo's laughter stopped abruptly; he nearly choked on his tea. He quickly straightened his posture and said respectfully:
"Senior...did I say something wrong?"
"Scared the Pope to death?"
Are you afraid the Pope won't know that Yan Yan is a walking treasure trove?
Yu Nan's voice carried a hint of disappointment and frustration:
"Old poisoner, use your brain."
What would it mean if Yan Yan's current spirit ring configuration were exposed in front of everyone?
"The fourth ring is 100,000 years, which is unheard of in the world of Soul Masters."
The people at the Spirit Hall aren't fools; they'll immediately connect it to the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, or the inheritance of a god.
"That crazy woman, Bibi Dong, will stop at nothing to become stronger."
"If she finds out Yan Yan's secret, do you think you, a level 92 Title Douluo, can withstand the Spirit Hall's all-out attack?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo broke out in a cold sweat.
I was so happy just now that I completely ignored the danger behind it.
Yes, the tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind.
Yan Yan's current setup is too incredible, so incredible that it's beyond reason.
Without absolute strength to protect you, this setup is not an honor, but a death warrant!
"You're absolutely right, senior!"
Dugu Bo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still shaken, and said:
"It was the younger generation who was confused."
Those two, Ju and Gui, from the Spirit Hall, have a grudge against me. If they target Yan Yan, she will indeed be in danger...
"So we're not participating in this competition?"
"I will not participate."
Yu Nan said decisively:
"Those childish competitions, aside from the empty fame and a few soul bones, did not provide any real help to Yan Yan."
Instead of going to Wuhun City to die, we should use this time to seize some real opportunities.
Upon hearing the word "opportunity," both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's eyes lit up simultaneously.
Anything that this mysterious senior calls an "opportunity" is definitely not ordinary!
"May I ask, senior, where are we going next?"
Dugu Bo asked cautiously.
Yu Nan's enormous dragon soul turned over in the sea of spirit.
His gaze drifted southwest, a playful smile playing on his lips.
"Pack up and let's set off immediately."
"Target: Fasno Province, near Notting City."
"Fasno Province?"
Dugu Bo was taken aback, his brows furrowing slightly:
"Senior, that's one of the most remote provinces in the Heaven Dou Empire, a poor and desolate place. What good things could it possibly have?"
In his memory, that kind of place, apart from producing some low-level soul masters and blue silver grass, was a godforsaken place.
"A remote and impoverished area?"
Yu Nan chuckled, his voice carrying a hint of mystery and allure:
"Old Poisoner, do you know that behind a small waterfall in that remote, impoverished place, there lies a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone?"
"What?!"
"A...a hundred thousand-year-old soul bone?!"
At that moment, Dugu Bo jumped up from his chair, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
Even the usually composed Dugu Yan's breathing became rapid instantly.
A soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years!
That's a legendary treasure in the world of Soul Masters!
Each 100,000-year-old soul bone possesses two powerful soul skills and provides a transformative boost to a soul master's physical attributes!
Even titled Douluo would fight tooth and nail, or even start a national war, for such a soul bone!
"S-Senior, you're not joking, are you?"
Dugu Bo's voice trembled, and he felt his throat go dry.
"I never joke."
Yu Nan said calmly:
"That was an inheritance left to someone's son, but now..."
Now that we know, it belongs to Yanyan.
"If you do not take what Heaven has given you, you will suffer the consequences."
"What, you old poisoner, you're afraid to go and get it?"
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly flashed with greed and ruthlessness.
With a 100,000-year-old soul bone right in front of him, he'd be willing to risk everything, even if it meant robbing someone else's inheritance!
What wouldn't Dugu Bo do for his granddaughter?
"go!
We absolutely have to go!
Dugu Bo slammed his hand on the table, shattering the teacup.
"Since it is ownerless, it belongs to the virtuous!"
"Yanyan is at the age where she's growing, and what she lacks most is this soul bone!"
"Pack your things, let's leave right away!"
To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Dugu Bo did not make a big fuss, but instead rested in his mansion for a night to recuperate.
The grandfather and grandson left Tiandou City quietly in the early hours of the next day.
Dugu Bo, carrying Dugu Yan, tried to conceal their presence as they sped through the high sky.
At the speed of a Title Douluo, even with one person, crossing half an empire wouldn't take much effort.
Only half a day had passed.
The somewhat barren landscape of the Fasno province then came into view.
Compared to the bustling Tiandou City, this place can indeed be described as a remote and impoverished area.
"Senior, we're now in Notting City territory."
Dugu Bo hovered in mid-air, looking down at the not-so-large city below and the scattered villages around it, and asked in his sea of consciousness:
"Where exactly is that place you mentioned that contains a soul bone that's 100,000 years old?"
"South, Holy Soul Village."
Yu Nan's voice rang out softly, then pointed to a specific location:
There is a mountain behind the mountain, and there is a waterfall in the mountain.
The item is in the cave behind the waterfall.
A glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and he was about to accelerate and rush over to violently break open the cave to take the treasure.
"Wait a minute."
Yu Nan suddenly spoke up to stop them, his tone becoming more serious:
"Old Poisoner, do you think this soul bone was a freebie?"
