Just then, Tang Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, slowly opened his eyes.
The originally calm aura around him, at the moment he opened his eyes, suddenly burst forth with an incomparably sharp edge.
Then, his figure flickered, and like Gui Mei, he appeared directly in front of Xiao Ruier, saying in a deep voice, "You two, don't make a move again! We're on the same side!"
As his words fell, the surrounding air solidified slightly.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's originally tense expression instantly changed.
His weathered green eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, then he stared intently at Tang Chuan, finding him more and more familiar the longer he looked.
The Red King was slightly startled, his rapidly flying body paused in mid-air, his whole body still ablaze with flames, and a hint of surprise appeared in his heart in that instant.
"On the same side?"
"Then why don't you know each other? What the hell?"
He turned to look at Dugu Bo and found that the other party also had a puzzled expression.
"Senior Dugu, long time no see." Tang Chuan slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, a blue light flickered, and a Blue Silver Grass with brilliant golden patterns quietly emerged.
"You, you are…?"
When Dugu Bo saw the Blue Silver Grass in Tang Chuan's hand, his pupils contracted violently, and he looked at the latter in disbelief, his voice trembling.
"I am Tang Chuan.
Because of my Martial Soul's second Awakening, my appearance has changed a bit, so it's normal that you don't recognize me right away."
With a slight smile, Tang Chuan said unhurriedly.
As he spoke, he reached into his embrace and took out a jade-green sachet.
The sachet was warm and smooth all over, with intricate, dense patterns, and was as green as jade.
With a casual toss, the sachet transformed into a stream of light and landed in Dugu Bo's palm.
"You should recognize this, right?" Looking at Dugu Bo suspended in mid-air, Tang Chuan said with a faint smile in his eyes, "The Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse you personally gave me."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly startled.
He lowered his head and gazed at the sachet in his hand, his fingertips trembling.
This was indeed the living storage spirit tool he had given Tang Chuan back then—the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
"This item was indeed given out by me, but a single item alone is probably not enough to prove that you are Tang Chuan."
The next second, a complex look flashed in the depths of his eyes, then he raised his head and stared at the blue-clad young man not far away, his voice hoarse as he said, "Perhaps you killed him, then stole his treasure…"
At this point, the Soul Power within Dugu Bo surged again.
If these three people in front of him were indeed the murderers of Tang Chuan, then he himself would probably not escape death today, but even if he died, he would drag two down with him!
Looking at Dugu Bo again, Tang Chuan's expression remained unchanged, instead, he showed a half-smile and said, "Your hair seems to have returned to its original color.
It seems that the residual poison in your body should have been mostly resolved, right?
I've told you this, so you should believe me now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression relaxed a few points.
After all, only he, Dugu Yan, and Tang Chuan knew about the detoxification.
"You… you really are Tang Chuan?"
"But, how did you suddenly become so handsome? Even your appearance…"
Dugu Bo's voice held a hint of disbelief, and at the same time, his demeanor shifted from vigilance to joy.
Sighing, Tang Chuan said with a wry smile, "Didn't I just tell you? My appearance changed because of my Martial Soul's second Awakening."
"A Martial Soul can undergo a second Awakening? Then quickly teach me!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was a bit excited, the green light that had been restrained on his body lit up again, and his figure flickered, rushing directly towards Tang Chuan.
Seeing this, the Red King's expression suddenly changed, and his figure flickered again, instantly blocking Dugu Bo's path.
Looking at the Red King who suddenly appeared in front of him, Dugu Bo reacted as if he had seen a ghost, retreating like lightning, at least twice as fast as when he charged forward.
That slap from the Red King earlier had injured him quite badly.
Xiao Ruier, seeing this, frowned slightly and immediately sent a telepathic message to the Red King, "Uncle Red King, this is a misunderstanding, why don't you withdraw first?"
Hearing this, the Red King was stunned, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Then he looked up at Dugu Bo not far away, and after a brief moment of contemplation, he finally nodded.
His figure swayed, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot.
"Senior Dugu, when did you become so timid? This doesn't fit your style of being the Poison Overlord of the world." This scene made Tang Chuan laugh.
Dugu Bo's old face flushed, and he said testily, "Don't give me that, kid.
That Red King's Soul Power Rank is at least ninety-six or ninety-seven.
There are probably very few people on the entire Douluo Continent who are his match.
That slap just now, I didn't take it well!"
After the Red King left, Dugu Bo's figure flickered and landed in front of Tang Chuan.
Immediately after, his gaze shifted slightly, looking at the golden-haired girl behind Tang Chuan, his brows slightly furrowed, and he asked in confusion, "This is?"
"Her name is Xiao Ruier, she is my friend, and also a member of the Royal Fight Team."
Dugu Bo nodded in realization, then said indifferently, "So that's how it is.
I just returned from Heaven Dou Royal Academy not long ago.
A few days ago, some people calling themselves Shrek Academy went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Prince Xue Xing asked me to go over and cause them some trouble.
In the end, under my pressure, they were directly driven out."
At this point, Dugu Bo couldn't help but smile, casually waving his hand.
"There was one person among them who looked very much like you used to.
I almost mistook that guy for you at the time.
By the way, do you really have a younger brother, kid?"
Hearing this, Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier, who was beside him, exchanged a smile but did not say much.
Seeing the two suddenly exchange smiles, Dugu Bo couldn't help but curl his lips and snort, "What are you two laughing at? Tang Chuan, do you really have a younger brother, kid?"
"I won't tell you now; you'll know naturally in the future." Tang Chuan, however, just raised his hand, gently patted Dugu Bo's shoulder, smiled without speaking, and said indifferently.
Dugu Bo was utterly confused upon hearing this, muttering incessantly in his heart, but he did not press further.
He just narrowed his eyes and changed the subject, saying, "Oh, there's one more thing I need to tell you."
"The leader of your Royal Fight Team seems to have also left with the people from Shrek Academy.
I think, kid, you might as well not go back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Just Cultivate with me; I can guide you much better than that Spirit Emperor."
"Did Qin Ming still leave, just like in the original story?"
Upon learning this news, Tang Chuan frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Then he raised his head and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky, muttering to himself, "Although the environment of Heaven Dou Royal Academy is good, it is not my own power after all."
"Now that Qin Ming is also gone, and my strength has improved a lot, why not…"
Thinking of this, Tang Chuan suddenly raised his head, his gaze falling on Dugu Bo in front of him, and said seriously, "Senior Dugu, I have an idea that requires your help."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was stunned, then his expression became a bit strange as he said, "You're not thinking of having me experiment with some Medicinal Pill for you again, are you, kid?
Do you know? Those things you refined before, I had diarrhea for several days after eating them!"
"It's not about Medicinal Pills." Tang Chuan couldn't help but chuckle, then waved his hand and said solemnly, "I want to create an Academy, and I want you to be the principal."
"What do you think?"
