Chapter 117: Dugu Yan's Dragon Transformation Show-Off! Tang Hao's Night Visit to the Grandmaster!
[Finally heading back. This trip to the Sunset Forest can truly be called a bumper harvest—perhaps even beyond expectations.]
[Not only did I completely cure that old poison freak Dugu Bo, but I also helped Sister Yan complete her martial soul evolution.]
[And while I was at it, I borrowed that treasure land to refine several furnaces of pills for myself.]
[I have to say, pills refined with the Nine Dragon Flaming Furnace combined with the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are simply explosive in effect.]
[My soul power has not only broken through to Rank 30, but I also casually hunted a thirty-thousand-year mutated Golden-Eyed Blood Lion.]
[Now, I am already a Rank 36 Soul Elder!]
[And I even obtained an unexpected bonus—an external soul bone: Destruction Golden Eyes!]
[This is a treasure second only to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. It comes with armor-piercing and spiritual attack abilities. In this era, it is practically the ultimate tool for ambushing people.]
[Heh, that so-called "genius" Qin Ming with only a thousand-year fifth soul ring—I wonder what he would think if he knew my third soul ring is thirty thousand years?]
After writing this, Lin Yuan paused, a gentle smile curling at the corner of his lips as he continued.
[Of course, I haven't forgotten the few little beauties back at the academy.]
[The pill for Xiao Wu has already been refined and processed. Once she absorbs it, her cultivation and talent will definitely improve significantly.]
[Rongrong's "Beautiful Silk Tulip" pill is also ready. After taking it, her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.]
[And Ye Lingling, the "Nine Heart Begonia" lineage's curse of single inheritance per generation, might finally be broken by the premium "Nine Nether Soul-Returning Grass" I prepared for her.]
As the diary updated, the private chat group visible only to the girls instantly exploded.
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: Wow! Lin Yuan is so sweet! He even prepared a gift for me!]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: Beautiful Silk Tulip pill? Can it turn the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? Oh my god! If that's true, Father, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo would go crazy!]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: I once swore that if anyone could break the limits of my martial soul, I would marry him. With Lin Yuan's talent, Father and the elders would surely agree, right?]
[Nine Heart: … Break the curse?]
[Nine Heart: If it's really possible… Lin Yuan, whatever you want, I will agree to it.]
Although Ye Lingling usually spoke little, her lips trembled slightly with excitement as she read the entry.
The Nine Heart Begonia martial soul was powerful, but only two people per generation could possess it. It was an eternal pain for her family.
If Lin Yuan could truly solve it, he would be the savior of her entire lineage.
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling's words also immediately put Xiao Wu on alert.
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Hawthorns: That won't do. Lin Yuan is mine. There has to be a sense of first-come, first-served.]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: Hehe, Xiao Wu, don't be jealous. In love, what first come, first served? And look at how strong Lin Yuan is. A strong man is qualified to have multiple women.]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: Just look at my father. Who knows how many concubines he has? That seems perfectly normal to me.]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: Besides, aren't you Lin Yuan's sworn younger sister right now? How can you have improper thoughts about him?]
As Ning Rongrong typed these words in the chat group, a sly smile appeared on her face.
Her teasing left Xiao Wu speechless.
So infuriating!
However, just as everyone was immersed in their excitement, Dugu Yan, who had been silently reading the chat inside the carriage, pursed her lips helplessly at the contents of the diary.
"This idiot…"
"Why did he write everything out?"
"I was planning to give them a huge surprise when we got back—maybe show off a little."
"Now it's all spoiled."
Her eyes rolled slightly. Since the "surprise" was gone, she might as well flaunt her own results.
She immediately sent a message to the group.
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Since Brother Lin Yuan already said it, I won't hide it anymore.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Thanks to the pill he refined, my martial soul is no longer the Jade Phosphor Serpent.]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: ??? Not a serpent? What is it then? Mutated into a lizard?]
Ning Rongrong joked.
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Get lost! It's a dragon! My martial soul has shown signs of ancestral reversion and is evolving toward the Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: And my soul power has reached Rank 38. My martial soul has already grown dragon horns!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: So, to thank Brother Lin Yuan, I gave him a kiss. Hehe. So your arguing just now was useless. I got there first!]
The girls: !!!
Soon after, Dugu Yan was mercilessly besieged in the chat group. She had actually made her move during that one month alone with Lin Yuan.
At the same time.
Nuoding City, deep into the night.
A ghost-like figure cloaked in a tattered black robe silently slipped into Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.
It was none other than Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, who had been gone for more than a year.
During his time away from Nuoding City, he had been searching for those Spirit Hall personnel who participated in the soul hunting operation back then.
The grudge from that year, he intended to settle one by one.
Tonight, he had finally returned. He did not believe that after so much time, Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo would still remain in such a small place like Nuoding City.
Creak.
The door to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's room was pushed open.
Yu Xiaogang, who had been studying martial soul theory under the lamplight while pondering how to train Tang San, abruptly raised his head. Seeing the slovenly figure radiating terrifying pressure, he hurriedly stood up.
"Your Majesty Clear Sky Douluo? You've returned?"
Tang Hao nodded expressionlessly and walked straight to a chair, sitting down. His voice was hoarse and low.
"Grandmaster, long time no see."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tang Hao's previously murky eyes suddenly sharpened as he fixed Yu Xiaogang with a piercing stare.
"Back then, my whereabouts were exposed to Spirit Hall, and I was besieged by three Titled Douluo."
"Was it you who leaked the information?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened slightly, then he revealed a bitter smile.
He did not avoid Tang Hao's gaze and spoke frankly.
"Your Majesty, I understand your suspicions. But think about it. Xiao San is now my direct disciple, the only practitioner of my theories."
"I treat him as my own son. How could I possibly harm his father?"
Tang Hao stared at Yu Xiaogang for a long time.
As a Titled Douluo, he had met countless people and could naturally see the sincerity in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, the killing intent in his eyes dissipating.
"I believe you. It seems that what happened back then may truly have been a coincidence."
"Or perhaps the dogs of Spirit Hall simply have noses that are too sharp."
With the knot in his heart untied, Tang Hao naturally shifted the topic to what concerned him most.
"How has Xiao San been recently? Is his cultivation progressing smoothly?"
