"Oh? Miss Ning also made a move?"
Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise.
"Of course, my soul bone skill works very well with Ye Qiu."
Ning Rongrong hugged Ye Qiu's arm, her bright blue eyes full of pride.
"Yes, thanks to Rongrong this time, we're all alright."
Ye Qiu chuckled and pinched Ning Rongrong's cheek.
Liu Erlong also noticed the surrounding gazes and suggested, "Then let's go back to the academy."
"Okay!"
Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
He was about to leave with the girls when he turned to Feng Xiaotian and
explained with a smile,
"You don't need to look at me so surprised. That wasn't some seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill."
Ye Qiu's voice was soft,
but the hundreds of people present were not ordinary people, and they heard his words clearly.
Ignoring the astonished gazes, Ye Qiu led Liu Erlong and the others away slowly.
Watching their departing figures,
many of the participating team members immediately started discussing among themselves, all willing to believe Ye Qiu's explanation.
After all, defeating a Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique when the level difference is not significant is simply impossible.
Moreover, the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique is merely a powerful divine skill from legend.
Although it was just a simple explanation,
it brought Ye Qiu back from his godlike status to the realm of a normal person.
Many people present felt a sense of relief.
The audience received a visual feast, but today's match also gave rise to various different thoughts among those with ulterior motives.
All forces were pondering how the Blue Tyrant Academy team had won today.
On the VIP stage, Salas, for some reason, quietly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the Blue Tyrant Academy team was all at peace.
He could not disobey the Pope's orders.
Since the Canghui Academy members had not become idiots, naturally no one came to cause trouble for the Blue Tyrant Academy.
The match continued in an orderly manner.
After returning to Blue Tyrant Academy, Ye Qiu did not rest.
He cultivated for an afternoon, and in the evening, he took Bai Chenxiang to find Dugu Bo.
Lou Gao and the blacksmith he brought had already taken up residence in the Soul Hall.
Several months had passed, and today Ye Qiu was going to check if Lou Gao had finished making the three types of hidden weapons.
Dugu Bo lived in the courtyard that Liu Erlong had specially arranged for him.
As a Title Douluo, his territory was usually not disturbed by anyone.
When Ye Qiu found Dugu Bo, he was still in that dimly lit office, fiddling with the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Darts.
"Hehehe,"
Dugu Bo chuckled strangely upon seeing Ye Qiu.
Holding the two dark, unremarkable objects, he stepped forward and patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder.
"Ye Qiu, kid, I've heard about it."
"Your strength is really impressive; you even managed to handle a fusion technique used by seven people without suffering any damage."
Dugu Bo hadn't been staying indoors all this time.
To finish the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Darts and the King of Hell's Decree, he had made many trips to the Soul Hall, working with the blacksmiths.
He had heard quite a bit about the Soul Master Competition.
Ye Qiu smiled slightly.
"Just lucky. Senior, you knew it wasn't a seven-in-one martial soul fusion technique just by hearing about it; that's impressive."
"Hmph! You're really modest, kid. I can tell with my own eyes that such a divine technique is practically impossible,"
Dugu Bo casually waved his hand.
He didn't bother with those idiots who believed in some seven-in-one martial soul fusion technique.
Ye Qiu chuckled, looking at the item in Dugu Bo's hand, and asked:

"Senior Dugu, have you finished making these hidden weapons?"
"Hehehe, that's right, I've made quite a few, and I even tested their power on that chrysanthemum! If it weren't for that old ghost, that chrysanthemum would have been killed by me."
Dugu Bo said this with great pride.
With his current strength of level ninety-four, he was not far from Chrysanthemum Douluo, and after using the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Dart, that old chrysanthemum was almost tortured to death by him.
Ye Qiu chuckled.
It seems that Chrysanthemum Douluo has suffered a lot.
However, he still advised, "Senior Dugu, please take it easy, don't really kill someone, it's too troublesome."
"Hmph! Of course I know that, would I, as your grandfather, bring you trouble?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
"Hehehe, once we have enough of these, I'll give each of Yan Yan and the others a pair. No, my Yan Yan needs two pairs, and Xiao Lan too, two pairs for her as well."
Dugu Bo chuckled, tossing the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Darts in his hand.
While completing this item, his understanding of poison had deepened considerably.
"Ha, then I'll thank you on behalf of Xiao Wu and the others, Senior."
Ye Qiu chuckled wryly.
"Hmph! What's there to thank? They're all my granddaughters, and you're practically my grandson. It's only right that Grandpa protects you."
Dugu Bo sneered with a smile.
Just thinking about his numerous granddaughters and great-grandchildren filled him with joy, each one possessing considerable strength.
Once they all grew up and dominated the Soul Master world,
he would be the most powerful person on the entire continent.
"Uh..."
Ye Qiu's face darkened.
Although Dugu Bo was telling the truth, why did it sound so grating?
"Pfft,"
Bai Chenxiang, standing beside Ye Qiu, suddenly sneered.
Ye Qiu's frustrated expression was a rare sight for her, especially since Dugu Bo's demeanor was indeed quite irritating.
"Hehehe," Dugu Bo chuckled
. "Your contribution wasn't small either. If you hadn't brought those blacksmiths back, this old man of mine would have had to learn blacksmithing, which would have been a real ordeal. So... your pair can't be missing! Here, take them."
With that,
Dugu Bo tossed two iron balls to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu caught them steadily.
"Thank you very much, senior."
Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, alright, why are you always so formal? Can't you be a little more casual?"
Ye Qiu explained, "Aren't you my elder? I'm just showing you respect."
"Alright, alright, I like hearing that."
Dugu Bo laughed heartily.
"Then hurry up and call me 'Grandpa' a few times."
"I..."
Ye Qiu was momentarily speechless.
For some reason, the more smug Dugu Bo was, the less he wanted to say,
"Tch! Hypocritical."
Dugu Bo curled his lip in disdain.
Looking at Bai Chenxiang, who was secretly laughing beside him, he smiled and said, "Little Xiangxiang, your share will have to wait a bit longer. I'll give it to you all together once I've prepared everything."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Dugu."
Bai Chenxiang smiled and nodded at him.
Bai Chenxiang knew that she hadn't arrived early, and if she took Dugu Bo's things first, the other sisters would inevitably have some objections.
Besides, she was very sensible; she had long ago addressed Dugu Bo, her elder, as "Grandpa
