Chapter 36: Tai Nuo Seeks Revenge for His Son, Du Gu Yan's Transformation

Power Clan, mansion.

Tai Long returned home, entered the main hall intending to greet his father.

But the result was seeing the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat gloomy.

Just as he was puzzled, a voice came out.

"Are you ashamed to come back?"

Tai Long froze, looked up, and the speaker was his father, Tai Nuo.

"Father, what do you mean by that? This is my home, why shouldn't I come back?" Tai Long said, puzzled.

"Hmph, I already know about what happened to you at the academy today."

"Why didn't you come back right away to tell me?"

Tai Nuo furrowed his brows, displeased, and said.

"My son, Tai Nuo, was actually beaten by a freshman? I can't swallow this anger; tomorrow I'll take you to confront that kid!"

He clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Dad, how did you find out?" Tai Long's face changed upon hearing it, and he said in astonishment.

He swore that he definitely did not say it himself.

If he really wanted his family to take revenge on Li Fei, the first thing he should have done after losing was run back to the Power Clan instead of turning back to the treatment room in the academy.

"Hmph, the Power Clan has plenty of informants!"

"If you don't plan to say it, as long as someone pays attention, I'll naturally know!"

Tai Nuo gave a cold snort and said.

"Dad, you absolutely must not go, or else I'll lose all face!"

"This is me challenging him online; being defeated by him is just due to my lack of strength."

"Moreover, I've already declared in front of everyone that I won't tell my family about this; if you take me tomorrow to seek revenge, wouldn't that prove I'm going to tattle? You're blatantly slapping my face! How am I supposed to get by in the future if you do this?"

Tai Long's face turned red from holding back his anger, and he said vehemently opposed.

"Hehe, you idiot, that kid surely knows your background is strong, and that guy either has no background or his background isn't as strong as ours, so he's deliberately provoking you to say that!"

"If I hadn't heard about this, I could ignore it, but since I know, I can't ignore it!"

"You not speaking, not wanting us to take revenge is your business; I know, and I want to avenge you to establish the Power Clan's prestige—that's my business!"

"In this world, everything must be spoken with strength!"

"As long as you become strong, what are those rumors? Everyone will naturally stay silent!"

"That's settled then; tomorrow I'll personally take you to find that kid and demand justice, Dad—I'll give that clueless brat a good lesson!"

"Dare to hit my son, Tai Nuo? He's rebelling against heaven!"

Tai Nuo gave a heavy cold snort: "If your grandfather found out, he'd whip you even more! Fortunately he's out right now and won't be back until tomorrow."

Seeing his father so resolute, Tai Long also felt helpless.

This isn't his fault; it's his father who insists on coming.

But being able to teach that brat Li Fei a lesson also makes him feel somewhat relieved inside.

After all, being beaten so badly by someone who hasn't even awakened their martial soul, it's false to say he isn't holding a grudge inside.

Let this matter just develop as it is.

Everything will take its natural course.

"Grandfather, why did you suddenly have me come back so late?"

In Dugu Bo's mansion, a beautiful girl with blue-purple short hair expressed some dissatisfaction and complained.

Although the Tian Dou Royal Academy isn't far from her home, at this time she had just finished training and originally wanted to take a shower and then sleep in the academy.

Suddenly, the household steward brought her back.

Moreover, she wanted to go on a date with her boyfriend Yu Tianheng and do something intimate. "Yan Yan, don't be angry; having you come back this late naturally means there's something important to tell you."

"Listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you."

Dugu Bo pulled Du Gu Yan into the room, set up a barrier with soul power to block any sound from inside or out, just in case.

If word got out that their poison‑playing experts were poisoned by a snake venom backlash, it would be utterly embarrassing.

"What is it?" Seeing her grandfather's grave expression, Du Gu Yan also realized the importance of the matter, restrained her complaining expression, and became serious.

"Actually, you've been poisoned." Dugu Bo revealed the fact he had concealed from Du Gu Yan for many years.

Upon hearing this, Du Gu Yan's face turned pale on the spot, finding it hard to accept.

"Your pupils are green because the poison is deep; however, compared to your grandfather, your level of poisoning isn't much."

"Originally, your grandfather never intended to tell you in his lifetime, so you could live without worries, but tonight he found an antidote for this poison, took it himself, and the effect was excellent— the toxin that had troubled us for years was completely cleared out."

Dugu Bo said slowly.

"So does that mean I also have an antidote?" Du Gu Yan's despairing expression also showed a glimmer of hope.

"Yes, this is a Universal Antidote Pill; take it and you'll be detoxified."

Dugu Bo took out the pill that Li Fei had given him and handed it to Du Gu Yan.

Du Gu Yan took it and looked at it: "It smells so good!"

Then she swallowed it.

The pill melted upon entering her mouth, a clear stream instantly entered her body, impacting and cleansing her entirely.

Her capillaries opened, releasing gas.

Du Gu Yan's face flushed crimson, as if she were bathing in a world made of life energy, feeling extremely comfortable, almost making her moan.

A draconic breath surged from within her; the Azure Scale Snake martial soul touched a wisp of dragon breath, in one leap passed the Dragon Gate, transforming from a snake into a jiao.

"Azure Scale Jiao!" This is her martial soul now; all the toxins in her body have been completely purged.

When Du Gu Yan opened her eyes again, the originally green pupils disappeared, becoming the black pupils of a normal person.

Moreover, Du Gu Yan felt her bodily comfort was over a hundred times better than before! Her strength had also become even stronger!

At this time, she was merely a Grand Soul Master.

Without Dugu Bo's connection, she would not have gone to Tiandou Royal Academy but to Lan Ba Academy, which accepts only commoners.

Dugu Bo placed his hand lightly on Du Gu Yan's wrist, carefully examining her internal toxin condition, which left him very satisfied.

"Congratulations, Yanyan, the toxins in your body have been completely cleared."

"You have avoided the death calamity."

Dugu Bo said.

"Grandfather, my martial soul seems to have changed."

Du Gu Yan said, summoning her martial soul.

The Azure Scale Flood Dragon remained mainly blue-green, but it was no longer a snake; it took the form of a flood dragon, and its size had changed greatly.

"Your snake has evolved into a flood dragon; this is a good thing."

"Remember this, tonight's affair you must not tell anyone, not even your fellow academy members, especially Yu Tianheng!"

Dugu Bo said.

"Yu Tianheng won't harm me," Du Gu Yan said.

"Grandfather's side has already found a peerless monstrous genius, more handsome, taller, and stronger than Yu Tianheng, younger in age but possessing a mature and steady heart; I plan to bring you to meet him."

On grandfather's side, we have already found a peerless monstrous genius, more handsome than Yu Tianheng, taller, stronger, younger than him, yet possessing a mature and steady heart; I plan to take you to meet him.
