Chapter 216: Dugu Bo: Me kill Tang Hao? Screw that!
[Bingbing]: No, that's not right, is it? Then what does she have to do with you? Why would she give up being a dean to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and be a teacher?
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: If that's the case, then Liu Erlong, who went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, is really not playing by the rules.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Ah Qing, what do you think she's after? What's your opinion of her?
As soon as this message was sent, someone immediately appeared in the group.
[The Pope Herself]: Hehe, maybe Yu Xiaogang persuaded her to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy as an undercover agent. After all, Shrek and Ah Qing are enemies.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Impossible!!!
[His Holiness the Pope]: Oh? How do you know it's impossible?
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Uh… because… because… she shouldn't be that kind of person.
[The Pope Herself]: Is that so?
Meanwhile, at Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong stared coldly at the light screen.
Her purple hair draped over her shoulders, candlelight casting cold shadows across her delicate face.
Looking at the messages from "Tyrant Dragon Mom," her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Liu Erlong, so it really is you!"
Not long ago, she had already noticed that this Tyrant Dragon Mom paid unusual attention to anything related to 'Liu Erlong.'
So she had just tested her a little.
Now she was eighty percent certain that this 'Tyrant Dragon Mom' was Liu Erlong.
"This woman is actually in this chat group, too. And she dares to get close to Ah Qing?!"
Her fingertips tapped against the armrest of the throne as a trace of coldness flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.
[The Pope Herself]: Ah Qing, I think you should be on guard. This Liu Erlong probably has ill intentions.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Th-this shouldn't be necessary, right?
[A Rogue Rabbit]: I also think Ah Qing should be careful. Since she's close to that hypocrite Yu Xiaogang, she definitely doesn't have good intentions.
[Green Grass Mom]: I agree with them.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: You all!
…
At the same time,
Dugu Bo's residence.
The room was filled with bottles and jars containing herbs and poisons.
The air carried a faint medicinal fragrance mixed with a barely perceptible poisonous mist.
Dugu Bo sat in a chair, idly playing with an emerald-green scale between his fingers.
Suddenly, two black figures appeared silently in the room.
Moonlight filtered through the window, revealing their forms.
They were Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
Dugu Bo didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone full of disdain.
"Well, well, what wind blew you here, Yue Guan?"
He had sensed the scent on him from far away.
Yue Guan stepped forward, his face wearing his usual sinister smile.
"Old poison, we came this time to bring you good news."
Dugu Bo sneered and looked at him.
"Good news? What good news could you possibly bring me?"
"By order of Her Holiness the Pope, the three of us are to join forces and kill Tang Hao."
Gui Mei's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.
The moment those words were spoken, Dugu Bo shot to his feet, his face filled with shock.
"What? Tang Hao? That Clear Sky Douluo?"
"He's actually in Heaven Dou City?"
Yue Guan nodded, the smile on his face fading slightly.
"That's right. He's currently hiding near Heaven Dou City."
"Her Holiness believes he's here because of the young master and those around him."
Dugu Bo frowned, sat back down, and tapped his fingers on the table.
"That guy Tang Hao is a Rank 95 Super Douluo."
"And he has those Clear Sky secret techniques, terrifyingly powerful."
"Just the three of us—can we really kill him?"
"Hehe, that's why Her Holiness sent us to find you."
Yue Guan smiled and took out a jade box from his storage soul tool.
The jade box opened, revealing a snow-white swan-shaped immortal herb inside.
The air around it carried a strange chill.
"Old poison, take a look at this."
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes. "This looks like an immortal herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Why bring this out?"
Yue Guan nodded and pushed the jade box toward him.
"That's right. Her Holiness specially prepared this for you."
"It's called Snow Swan Kiss. It can amplify toxins hundreds or even thousands of times."
"With it, your Jade Phosphor Poison might be something even Tang Hao can't withstand."
"What?!"
Dugu Bo stared at the immortal herb in the box, his breathing becoming rapid.
He had dealt with poison all his life and naturally understood how terrifying this herb was.
He looked up at Yue Guan, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"Fine, I agree. I'll cooperate with you to kill Tang Hao."
The smile on Yue Guan's face deepened as he nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good. Then we'll wait for the right opportunity."
…
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Liu Erlong fully integrated into Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
With her powerful strength and straightforward personality, she quickly became close with the members of the Royal Fighting Team.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also completely accepted her as their team leader and teacher.
What surprised Lin Qingmo the most was that Liu Erlong actually acknowledged Xiao Wu as her goddaughter.
Exactly the same as in the original story.
That very day, he complained crazily in a chat group, saying the plot had gone off track for nothing.
Of course.
The most important thing was undoubtedly the breakthroughs of Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
Zhu Zhuqing's soul power reached rank 30, and Xiao Wu's reached rank 40.
Logically, it was time to go hunt soul rings.
Of course.
The one who truly needed to hunt a soul ring was Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu, as a transformed soul beast, could condense her own soul ring.
However, openly condensing a soul ring was impossible, so they still needed a hunting trip as a cover.
Liu Erlong planned to take the entire Royal Fighting Team to the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City to hunt soul beasts.
…
After Liu Erlong and the others' carriage left Heaven Dou City,
A black figure silently followed behind.
It was the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.
He wore a tattered black robe, his face unshaven, his eyes sharp like an eagle.
Since arriving at Heaven Dou City, he had been observing in secret.
He noticed that Xiao Wu's soul beast aura had disappeared, which puzzled him greatly.
Because a transformed soul beast's aura would only disappear after reaching the maturity stage at rank 60.
Xiao Wu was only a Soul Elder, so how could she have done it?
While puzzled, he also felt relieved. Other Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo couldn't see through Xiao Wu, either.
Now that Xiao Wu had left the city and was far from Heaven Dou Empire's protection, he naturally followed.
Tang Hao did not want the hundred-thousand-year soul beast he had set his eyes on to be captured by the Heaven Dou Royal Family. He decided to seize Xiao Wu this time.
But he hadn't gone far when two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
It was Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei. They had shown themselves.
Tang Hao's expression instantly darkened, his hand tightly gripping the Clear Sky Hammer behind his back.
Them again!
These two persistent pests!
Over the years, they had chased him everywhere. He had been fed up with it for a long time.
"So it's you two again."
Tang Hao's voice was hoarse and cold, filled with killing intent.
"What? This time, you're determined to keep me here?"
"Hehe, this time Her Holiness has given a death order. Even if we don't kill you, we'll leave you half dead."
Yue Guan chuckled as his soul rings lit up instantly.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
Nine soul rings slowly revolved around him, exuding immense pressure.
"Tang Hao, after all these years, it's time to settle things."
Gui Mei's figure instantly merged into the shadows, his soul rings lighting up as well.
Also, nine soul rings, carrying a chilling aura.
"Arrogant nonsense!"
"Today, none of you are leaving here alive."
Tang Hao laughed in fury as he suddenly drew out the Clear Sky Hammer from his back.
The massive black hammer buzzed with a deep roar in his hand.
Nine soul rings lit up instantly, the final red hundred-thousand-year soul ring especially dazzling.
"Just you two trash? You think you can keep me here?"
"You couldn't stop me back then, and today will be no different!"
