Chapter 302: Dugu Bo's Visit
Inside a luxurious courtyard within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the former Royal Fighting Battle Team members had all gathered together, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Today, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo had come to visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. Dugu Bo himself was received in the main hall by the clan's higher-ups, while Dugu Yan was left to be entertained by the younger generation, specifically Yu Tianheng.
This arrangement suited everyone perfectly. Yu Tianheng brought Dugu Yan straight to his own residence and also called over his former teammates.
Since Yu Tianlin was also an old acquaintance, and had been away from the clan for an entire year, Yu Tianheng called him over as well so everyone could gather together.
After being separated for more than a year, everyone naturally became very lively the moment they met again. Yu Tianlin smiled as he watched them, quietly sitting to one side and drinking tea.
"Lingling, how have you been this past year?" As the only two girls present, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling naturally ended up sitting together after everyone finished exchanging updates. At that moment, Dugu Yan's gaze swept toward Yu Tianlin, and she teasingly asked, "So, how's it going? Have you managed to win over Tianlin yet?"
"Oh, Sister Yan, you..." Dugu Yan was far too direct. Ye Lingling's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she shot her an annoyed look. "No."
"Uh... after spending every day together for more than a year, you still haven't gotten him?" Dugu Yan was clearly a little stunned by that answer.
"It wasn't a whole year of being together every day." Since Dugu Yan already knew Ye Lingling liked Yu Tianlin, now that the topic had been brought up, Ye Lingling no longer felt too shy. Instead, she said helplessly, "After the last tournament ended, we returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But Tianlin and I were only together in the clan for 3 months. After that, he left with Senior Yu to cultivate. He was gone for a full year, and only came back a few days ago."
"He went away to cultivate for an entire year?" Hearing that, Dugu Yan was left speechless. She muttered, "Tianlin really is a blockhead, a complete cultivation maniac. No wonder his cultivation is so absurdly high at such a young age. He really is a monster."
"Tianlin is indeed amazing!" The moment Yu Tianlin's cultivation came up, Ye Lingling's eyes lit up. She said proudly, "He told me two days ago, after returning to the clan, that he has already become a Spirit Emperor, and his Spirit Power cultivation has reached rank 66!"
"Back during the tournament more than a year ago, Tianlin was already rank 55. With his talent, it's normal for him to have become a Spirit Emperor by now." Dugu Yan nodded at first, as if that part was expected. But then she suddenly reacted, and her face filled with disbelief. "Wait, Lingling, did you just say Tianlin is rank 66 now?!"
"That's impossible, isn't it? In less than 2 years, his Spirit Power actually increased by 11 ranks?"
Strictly speaking, it had been about a year and a half. Raising Spirit Power by 11 ranks in a year and a half was absolutely outrageous, especially at the Spirit King and Spirit Emperor stages.
Of course, that was only because Yu Tianlin had absorbed a 100,000-year Spirit Ring and directly gained 6 ranks from it. Otherwise, it would never have been so exaggerated. If those 6 ranks were excluded, then Yu Tianlin had only raised his Spirit Power by 5 ranks in a year and a half. Even that speed was still terrifying at the Spirit King stage, but at least it was not completely impossible for a truly monstrous genius.
"Tianlin told me himself. He wouldn't lie to me," Ye Lingling replied.
Hearing that, Dugu Yan immediately turned to look at Yu Tianlin as if she were staring at some kind of freak.
As far as she knew, Yu Tianlin was only 16 years old, yet he already had rank 66 cultivation. And judging from the speed he had shown, how long would it take him to become a Spirit Saint? One year? Two years? At most, probably no more than three.
A Spirit Saint before the age of 20? Dugu Yan had never even heard of such a thing before, let alone seen one.
"Forget it, let's stop talking about Tianlin. Talking about him is too discouraging." Dugu Yan shook her head, then continued asking Ye Lingling, "Lingling, how has Tianheng been during this time..."
And so the lively reunion continued until noon. Under Yu Tianheng's arrangements, the servants had already prepared a lavish lunch. However, just as everyone was about to take their seats, Dugu Bo suddenly arrived.
"Hm, Yu Tianlin, come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you." Dugu Bo's gaze swept over the group before settling on Yu Tianlin. Then he turned to Yu Luomian and said, "Old Second Yu, is it alright if I have a private word with this kid?"
As expected, Dugu Bo would not come to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for no reason. He really did come to find me.
Yu Tianlin instantly understood. This made him even more certain that the guess he had made a few days ago was correct. So he immediately gave Yu Luomian a look, indicating that there was no problem.
When Yu Luomian heard that Dugu Bo wanted to speak privately with Yu Tianlin, and saw that Yu Tianlin himself had agreed, his brows could not help but rise slightly.
Yu Yuanzhen was the Clan Master, so it was naturally enough for him to personally receive Dugu Bo during the visit. As for Dugu Bo's movements within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan afterward, Yu Yuanzhen obviously did not need to accompany him the whole time. Yu Luomian could handle that.
Although Yu Luomian did not know the specifics, Yu Yuanzhen had specifically emphasized more than once just how important Yu Tianlin was. Now that it involved Yu Tianlin, Yu Luomian naturally could not help but think more carefully about it.
Still, this was the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Dugu Bo's granddaughter was also here. Their relationship with Dugu Bo was indeed quite good. There should not be any problem.
With that in mind, Yu Luomian nodded and personally arranged a secluded place for the two of them, while he himself stood guard not far away.
"Senior Dugu, may I ask why you are looking for me?" Although Yu Tianlin already had a rough idea in his heart, he still pretended not to know. "It's mealtime right now, and Sister Yanzi just saw you pull me away, so she's probably already unhappy."
"I do indeed have something very important to discuss, something far more important than eating." Dugu Bo ignored the other meaning hidden in Yu Tianlin's words and said seriously, "There is a very troublesome matter that has stumped me. After thinking it over again and again, I believe you are the only one with a high chance of solving it."
"Senior Dugu, you are a Titled Douluo. How could I possibly handle something that even you can't solve?" Yu Tianlin said. "And instead of coming to find me, you should have gone to Grandfather. Grandfather's cultivation is profound, and he can probably help you solve it."
