Chapter 325: Dugu Bo

~8 min read 1,591 words

Mind Eye—just hearing the name, one knows it is a lock-on technique.

Its effect is simple and brutal, because Guangling Douluo's martial soul is the Guangling Divine Bow, which possesses dual attributes of ice and light, and he usually uses archery as his primary attack mode; thus, locking onto enemies to hit the target is naturally his focus for cultivation.

For this reason, he created the technique known as Mind Eye.

Teaching skills certainly cannot be done inside the city, so the two arrived at a small grove outside the city, and Guangling Douluo said, "Watch closely, kid."

After speaking, his soul power surged, and the leaves of dozens of large trees nearby were shaken off by his soul power.

Then, with himself as the center, Guangling condensed thousands of ice arrows, which shot out at the same time; every single ice arrow pierced a leaf, without a single one missing.

This is somewhat similar to Tang San's Hidden Weapon techniques, yet completely different.

Hidden Weapon techniques focus on the method; the force and angle of throwing the hidden weapon must not be off by even a fraction, which can only be achieved through years of diligent practice.

But Mind Eye is different; it is equivalent to a form of sensing. Before launching an attack, one knows the opponent's location and even predicts how the opponent will move next, then strikes with one blow, leaving the opponent with no way to avoid it.

"Eyes reach, heart reaches, hands reach." Guangling Douluo murmured, "Feihuang kid, the key to Mind Eye lies in the three main principles: observe with the eyes, perceive with the heart, and kill with the wave of a hand. I will now pass on the mental formula to you; you must remember it firmly..."

"Yes, thank you, Your Excellency." Nan Feihuang cupped his hands to express his gratitude, listened quietly to the technique recited by Guangling Douluo, and firmly committed it to memory.

After Guangling Douluo finished reciting the mental formula, he had Nan Feihuang recite it back to him; he did not make a single mistake on the first try.

This made Guangling Douluo very satisfied; he had not expected that his future grandson-in-law was actually a genius with astonishing memory.

"Alright, Feihuang kid, the technique has been passed to you. You must cultivate diligently in the future and do not let me down. Once Xiao Xue finishes her seclusion, I will pass your information on to her; you can rest assured." Guangling waved his hand, his figure flashed, and he had already vanished without a trace.

The speed of a Super Douluo is truly astonishing; in terms of cultivation alone, this Guangling Douluo is even above Tang Hao.

Nan Feihuang looked in the direction he had left and thought to himself, "Your Excellency, thank you for your instruction! But I am sorry; soon, I may have to be ungrateful. In order to unify the continent, I must be an enemy of the Spirit Hall for a time. My desire to unify now is not just for the sake of being handsome, but because there is a reason I must do so. To become a Peerless God General, I cannot give up."

"But please rest assured, even if you are my enemy in the future, for the sake of today's instruction, I will never lay a hand on you. I look forward to a day when we might have the chance to turn from enemies into friends; at that time, I would be very willing to treat you as an elder with the same sincerity as Xue Jie."

After cupping his hands again to thank the direction in which Guangling Douluo had left, he also turned and left the vicinity of Wuhun City.

When Guangling Douluo returned to the Offering Hall, he heard Qian Daoliu say, "Old Five, you're back. It seems you really like that kid, since you even passed on your ultimate technique to him."

Although Qian Daoliu had not left the Offering Hall, as long as he was within Wuhun City, no one could hide anything from him if he wanted to know it.

"Hehe, that's right. That kid's talent is truly not bad. Anyway, I thought that since I have no children or disciples, and Xiao Xue only learns the ultimate techniques of your Angel Clan, it would be a pity for my skills to have no successor. Since that kid is destined to be my future grandson-in-law, passing it to him so he can protect Xiao Xue in my stead later can be considered a fitting arrangement." Guangling Douluo laughed.

"Thank you, Old Five." Qian Daoliu said gratefully. He knew that Guangling Douluo passing his skills to Nan Feihuang—the reason about Nan Feihuang being likable—was only secondary; the real reason was still Qian Renxue.

Guangling said heartily, "We have been brothers for so many years, Great Elder, why the need for thanks?"

The relationship between these Seven Great Consecrators is no different from that of real brothers; the fact that the Spirit Hall developed so strongly in the early years is absolutely inseparable from the cooperation of these seven people.

On the other side, after Dugu Bo returned to Tiandou City, he finally learned the news that Xue Xing Prince had been assassinated and was instantly enraged. He hadn't even had the chance to repay Xue Xing for saving his life, and now the man was dead.

So what was he to do about his promise?

The object of his repayment was gone.

He thought about investigating the truth to avenge Xue Xing Prince, but the problem was that there were no clues at all; Xue Xing Prince had practically died suddenly in his own home.

In the entire Prince's Mansion, with so many high-level Spirit Masters, no one had sensed a thing.

This shows just how high the perpetrator's skill level was; let alone not being able to find them, even if he did, he might not be their match.

In fact, he still had a few suspects. There are only so many Title Douluo in the world, and even fewer who are stronger than him; only a few forces could pull this off.

First is Xue Qinghe and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Xue Qinghe might have discovered that Xue Xing was secretly supporting Xue Beng in the struggle for the throne, so he took advantage of his absence these past few days to request that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect take secret action to help him nip the problem in the bud.

Bone Douluo, whose attack mode is the most bizarre, is one of the Title Douluo capable of doing such a thing.

Second is the Spirit Hall; they are about to make a move against the Heaven Dou Empire, so they started by taking out Xue Xing Prince.

Third is the Star Luo Empire; they are mortal enemies, so there is no need to say more.

Ranking by degree of suspicion, Xue Qinghe and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are the most suspicious, the Spirit Hall is second, and the Star Luo Empire is third.

Actually, for the latter two, Dugu Bo's degree of suspicion is not high at all, because for them, what is the point of killing a Xue Xing Prince? It cannot cause a fatal impact on the Heaven Dou Imperial Court, and he is not a truly important figure like Xue Ye or Xue Qinghe.

Such behavior is not only useless but would instead alert the enemy, making it even more troublesome if they wanted to assassinate Xue Ye later.

"Gu Rong? Could it be you?" After thinking it over, Dugu Bo still placed his suspicion on Gu Rong.

There is no help for it; in the vicinity of Tiandou City, theoretically, he is the only one who has the heart and the ability to do this.

It is known to all that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has placed all its bets on the Heaven Dou Empire on Xue Qinghe, and Ning Fengzhi even has a teacher-student relationship with Xue Qinghe; wanting to eliminate those who threaten Xue Qinghe is perfectly normal.

Gu Rong, who was at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, did not know that just because of his own strength, he had inexplicably taken the blame for someone else.

"If it really is you, then I swear, I will definitely make you die without a burial place to avenge this grudge." Dugu Bo made up his mind.

Actually, his relationship with Xue Xing Prince was not strictly that good, but he is a man who values promises more than his own life.

Now that he cannot repay Xue Xing Prince's favor, he must at least avenge his death; after that, he can go to the Gulei Kingdom with peace of mind.

After Nan Feihuang left Wuhun City, he was not aimless; he happened to be heading toward Tiandou City as well.

After all, he cannot drop his persona; in the eyes of many, the person Nan Feihuang loves most is Qian Renxue, and the person he admires most is Xue Qinghe.

Now that he has been to Wuhun City, the next step is naturally to come to Tiandou City.

In fact, Xue Qinghe had already learned this news; the day Nan Feihuang left Wuhun City, Qian Daoliu had sent Luo Er Di Ya La to inform her.

At this moment, she was already waiting for Nan Feihuang's arrival with a heart full of joy.
