Chapter 29: Heartbreaking Red of Longing, Yue Guan Breaks Through Level 96
Yue Guan successfully gained the recognition of the Acacia Heartbreak Red as its master. After consuming it, his cultivation level directly broke through to the peak of level 96, and his appearance also became younger.
As for Dugu Bo, after consuming the rare treasure Yue Guan selected for him, whose effect was to strengthen his foundation and cultivate his vital energy, his cultivation level reached the peak of level 91.
If it weren't for the fear that the poison in his body would become uncontrollable after the breakthrough and could erupt at any time, it wouldn't be impossible for him to break through to level 92 in his current state.
Notting City.
"That 100,000-year-old soul beast is right there in human form, and the boy next to her is Tang Hao's son." Lin Fan pointed to Xiao Wu and Tang San, who were shopping. "Now you should believe me, right?"
Yue Guan and Dugu Bo looked in the direction Lin Fan was pointing and indeed saw a young couple. In the eyes of the two Title Douluos, the girl exuded a faint aura of a soul beast; she was undoubtedly the transformed form of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Meanwhile, the son of the Haotian Douluo on the side... was unremarkable, without any distinguishing features, even in appearance.
"So what should we do now? Charge in and grab them both?" Dugu Bo rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with excitement, ready to charge in at any moment. It was his first time seeing a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, so it was understandable that he was a little excited.
However, Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No need to rush. Let's find Tang Hao's wife's original body first. We'll come back to take her away last."
Neither of the two Title Douluos reacted; they were already used to it. Since Lin Fan said he had the ability to foresee the future, no matter how many doubts Yue Guan and Dugu Bo had in their hearts, they chose to believe him at this moment. After all, the amazing feats he had previously displayed had already impressed them.
"Looking for Tang Hao's wife? Why?" Yue Guan frowned slightly and asked, puzzled.
"Let him exchange his wife's 100,000-year-old soul bone for his wife."
These words confused Dugu Bo, who asked in surprise, "You mean Tang Hao's wife is also a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
"Right."
"Huh?" Dugu Bo retorted, "So their whole family likes soul beasts... Will killing their son yield a soul ring?"
"Good question. Let's kill him and we'll find out," Yue Guan suggested with a smirk.
"I can tell you definitively that killing him won't yield any soul rings. Let's go." Lin Fan turned and left, his steps crisp and decisive. The two Title Douluos exchanged a glance, and Yue Guan shrugged helplessly, as if to say, "Listen to this kid, you can't go wrong."
...
In the original novel, Tang Hao mentioned that he planted Ah Yin's seed here, which greatly narrowed down the search area. He only needed to find a place with a waterfall near Holy Soul Village. After informing Tianmeng of the search area and precautions, Tianmeng used her mental detection, her mental energy spreading outwards like threads.
They quickly found a suitable spot. The waterfall cascaded down from a great height, splashing water in layers, surrounded by lush greenery...
Tianmeng reminded him, "Lin Fan, there is a Spirit Master in that cave, who should be the Tang Hao you mentioned... There is also a Blue Silver Grass with strong vitality inside, which should be the so-called Blue Silver Emperor. Moreover, there is a soul bone buried inside... radiating a life force, which is probably the 100,000-year-old soul bone you are looking for."
"Good news, the 100,000-year-old soul bone and Ah Yin's true form are inside. Bad news, Tang Hao is inside." Lin Fan turned to the two Title Douluos beside him, "Which one of you is fast enough to lure him away?"
"We outnumber him, so a two-on-one fight against Tang Hao shouldn't be a problem." Yue Guan was quite puzzled: "Besides, I still have the cultivation of a peak level 96..."
"I know we have an advantage, but I'm afraid a god-level expert might secretly intervene..." Lin Fan shrugged helplessly and explained, "Back then, the Spirit Hall had an even greater advantage... But who could have predicted that Tang Hao, having just broken through to the Title Douluo level, would immediately engage in a battle with three Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall? Of the last two, one died and the other was seriously injured. Pope Qian Xunji died not long after returning to the Spirit Hall."
"Tang San was just a newborn baby then. He went through a battle with a Title Douluo without eating or drinking. It would be a miracle if he survived under normal circumstances. Considering all of the above, I suspect that Tang Hao's family has been favored by the gods..."
The real fear is that the Asura God might be secretly intervening. Just to be on the safe side, we should play it safe. After listening to the analysis, Yue Guan and Dugu Bo both felt that Lin Fan's words made sense.
"So you guys decide who should go."
Dugu Bo hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't do it. With my speed, if I get caught, I'm really done for. I can't beat him at all, and I can't escape either."
"I'll go. My cultivation level is the highest among us," Yue Guan continued. "Although I might not be able to distract him for long, I should be able to buy some time."
"Just stalling him for a while is enough; it won't take us long to get the soul bone," Lin Fan reminded. "Remember not to confront him head-on; just stall him. Wait a moment, activate your Martial Soul True Form first, then change your clothes..."
'Tianmeng Simulation! Give him a different martial soul, and even replace his head...'
Tianmeng swiftly carried out Lin Fan's instructions. Yue Guan's martial soul and head underwent changes. When he opened his eyes again, he had transformed into a handsome young man with flowing black hair. The once magnificent Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum gradually faded away, replaced by a red rose. Even the colors of the spirit rings changed: one yellow, three purple, and four black, totaling eight spirit rings.
As long as he doesn't reveal himself, Tang Hao could never guess that it would be Yue Guan. Dugu Bo's eyes widened, his heart filled with shock. Yue Guan quickly changed out of his signature outfit as Lin Fan had instructed.
"As long as we don't use those signature soul skills, we should be able to fool Tang Hao." Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. "Next, it's up to you, Elder. Remember, just hold him off and don't fight to the death!"
Next, Yue Guan put away his Martial Soul True Form and entered the cave behind the waterfall. The cave was dimly lit and filled with a faint scent of Blue Silver Grass. Yue Guan proceeded cautiously, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily. Soon, he saw the "Blue Silver Grass" with golden patterns, and Tang Hao sitting quietly beside it.
Tang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, stared coldly at Yue Guan, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? What brings you here?"
