Chapter 58: Dugu Bo's Warning

"It is this old man. Are you all very surprised?" Dugu Bo's voice was flat.

"Indeed, somewhat surprised." Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Greetings, Your Excellency Poison Douluo."

Regardless of anything else, he was only a Spirit Saint; he could not be disrespectful when facing a Title Douluo.

"Dugu Bo, what business do you have coming here?" Chen Xin and Gu Rong frowned. That aura of a Super Douluo just now—could it be that their perception was wrong?

In their impression, Dugu Bo was merely a Level 92 Title Douluo; it was absolutely impossible for him to reach the ranks of a Super Douluo.

"Our Principal sent me to deliver this. Have your funds been prepared?" Dugu Bo threw out a Soul Guidance Device.

The three were still puzzled when they saw a familiar Soul Guidance Device.

Ning Fengzhi probed it with his mental power and discovered many Pills and weapons inside.

A look of shock appeared on his face.

There could be no mistake; this was the very Soul Guidance Device he had given to Ma Hongjun, and the Pills and weapons inside were the ones he had provided materials for the other party to refine!

"This is from Phoenix Academy... from Ma Hongjun?" Ning Fengzhi's voice was hesitant.

"Correct." Dugu Bo nodded.

"You just called him Principal... could it be that you have already joined Phoenix Academy?" Ning Fengzhi's pupils constricted.

"Correct." Dugu Bo nodded. "This old man is now the Phoenix Academy Grand Elder!"

"What!?"

Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi were directly shocked after hearing the other party admit it personally.

They had not expected that Ma Hongjun would actually make Dugu Bo, a person who only loved freedom, join Phoenix Academy. It seemed their attitude toward Phoenix Academy would have to change significantly in the future.

"If there's no error, pay up. Pay in full at once."

"This old man still needs to report back to the Principal."

Dugu Bo reached out his hand and said.

He did not want to deal with these people.

Although both sides were previously for the Heaven Dou Empire, there had not been much interaction between them.

The relationship was not deep.

Moreover, he also knew that Ning Fengzhi was a businessman, and for a businessman, everything was based on profit! "Very well, this card contains ten billion Gold Soul Coins. Your Excellency Poison can go to any Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Bank on the continent to verify it at any time." A card appeared in Ning Fengzhi's hand; this was a card he had prepared long ago.

Providing his own materials still cost ten billion; if he hadn't provided the materials, it would have been even more expensive!

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is truly worthy of being the wealthiest in the world. Taking out ten billion Gold Soul Coins without blushing, heart racing, or even a change in expression."

Dugu Bo secretly clicked his tongue inwardly, then reached out to take it. "This old man naturally trusts the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"This matter is finished, this old man is returning." After speaking, he intended to leave.

"Your Excellency Poison, wait a moment. I have one more matter I wish to inquire about," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Speak, but this old man does not necessarily have to answer you." Dugu Bo's expression was calm.

"Old Poison, don't be too arrogant!"

"Do you really think we two are not here?"

Gu Rong had a fiery temper and spoke up directly.

The aura of a Level 95 peak erupted.

Chen Xin also released his aura as a Level 96 Peak Super Douluo.

They made their stance clear.

Dugu Bo let out a cold snort. "Do you really think this old man is the same as before?"

The next second, a terrifying Level 97 soul power was also released from his body.

It directly suppressed the two's auras back.

"What!?" "You are actually a Level 97 Super Douluo!?"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong frowned, extremely shocked!

"Wasn't Dugu Bo Level 92? When did he become Level 97?" Ning Fengzhi was also shocked inside.

"The three of you, please stop."

"What I want to ask is, are the newly joined Green Scale and Nine Heart of Phoenix Academy actually Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling?"

Ning Fengzhi asked immediately.

"Correct, it is indeed them!"

"Now that they are students of my Phoenix Academy, whoever dares to touch them is going against this old man, a Title Douluo! This old man will definitely make them pay a heavy price!"

As he spoke, a very terrifying Phoenix emerged from Dugu Bo's body.

Jade Phosphor Phoenix Emperor! At the same time, nine jade-green Spirit Rings appeared on his body; each time a Spirit Ring appeared, it was accompanied by a terrifying increase in aura.

It was not until the final one appeared that it reached the highest critical point!

The poison power spreading from Dugu Bo was also countless times greater than before! It made Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi feel as if they were facing a great enemy, and beads of sweat broke out on them for no reason.

Phoenix!

No!

The other party's martial soul wasn't a Snake? How did it become a Phoenix? Could it also be related to Ma Hongjun? Chen Xin and Gu Rong could not care about so much; they immediately summoned the Seven Kill Sword and Bone Dragon to block in front of Ning Fengzhi, their expressions grave. "Old Poison, although you are now Level 97, if our two brothers join forces, you may not necessarily be the victor!"

"Your Excellency Poison, Phoenix Academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are not enemies, but friends." Ning Fengzhi also came back to his senses and said immediately.

"Hmph, it had better be that way." Dugu Bo said indifferently.

The aura on his body also receded.

This was merely his intimidation toward these people before him.

Regardless of whether the other party would be detrimental to Phoenix Academy in the future, they would have to weigh the presence of this Title Douluo!

He turned around and left the place via Phoenix Transformation.

The air finally returned to being fresh.

Dugu Bo's poison is terrifying; even the air was affected, making it poisonous to breathe.

If the other party were willing, he could easily kill Ning Fengzhi.

"I didn't expect Phoenix Academy—no, Ma Hongjun—to be even more terrifying than we imagined; he actually caused Dugu Bo's martial soul to mutate as well! And it's even more terrifying than his granddaughter Dugu Yan's!"

Ning Fengzhi said with a heavy expression.

"Just now, those Spirit Rings of Dugu Bo's, like Rongrong's, belonged to those that come with mutations. From the aura I sensed, the lowest one has reached just over Ten Thousand Year! If we really were to fight, even if the two of us joined forces, we wouldn't have absolute certainty, and his poison is countless times stronger than before. If we truly fought, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would very likely face the risk of annihilation!" Chen Xin said with a gloomy face.

"Rongrong once said that Spirit Rings can grow along with their master. The other party is a Title Douluo, and now his Spirit Rings have already grown to Ten Thousand Year; it really is enviable!" Gu Rong licked his lips and said.

"The matter and topic we discussed previously about killing Ye Lingling must never come up again; I do not want to become enemies with them."

"Dugu Bo and Ma Hongjun are both terrifying!"

Ning Fengzhi warned with a solemn expression: "We only need to manage our own affairs well; increasing cooperation with Phoenix Academy is the right path!"

Clearly, Dugu Bo's appearance this time really scared Ning Fengzhi into behaving.

Previously, he and Gu Rong had thoughts of wanting to eliminate Ye Lingling, but now they truly dare not think of it, nor dare they do it.

Once Dugu Bo is truly angered, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will face the disaster of sect annihilation! He does not wish for the sect passed down by his ancestors to be destroyed in his generation by his own recklessness and stupidity.

This time, he was indeed given a wake-up call.

"For now, this is the only way. Fortunately, Rongrong is a member of Phoenix Academy, and she is also our hope for the future. Both sides should increase cooperation, draw closer, and even tie ourselves to the same boat!" Chen Xin and Gu Rong agreed with this viewpoint.
