Chapter 106: Dugu Bo Breaks Up the Lovebirds

No matter how strong Wu Qi's strength is, he is, after all, still just a child.

Without the moral high ground, Qin Ming might not be able to out-argue them. But with the support of the Three Education Committees, he would not fall into a disadvantageous position.

As for Dugu Yan, heh, if Feng Xiaotian and the others joined Imperial Fighting Team One, they would have her pinned to the substitute bench in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile, inside Dugu Yan's dormitory.

After many days of cultivation, Dugu Yan successfully condensed her Poison Pill early this morning, and subsequently absorbed the Immortal Herb.

Several hours passed, and Dugu Yan completed the absorption of the Immortal Herb; her soul power broke through to Level Forty, and at the same time, her martial soul evolved into the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor!

The evolution of her martial soul meant an increase in the power of her toxins, and with the addition of the Poison Pill, Dugu Yan's strength now had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change compared to before.

Regarding this, Dugu Bo was very grateful to Wu Qi.

The other party could have kept all the Immortal Herbs for himself, yet he took out Immortal Herbs of such quality and gave them to his granddaughter and him to absorb.

This debt of gratitude could not be forgotten.

Ending her closed-door cultivation and feeling the increase in her strength, Dugu Yan could not help but ask, "Grandpa, when did you get such treasures? By the way, do you have any more? Tianheng..."

Not giving her a chance to continue, Dugu Bo let out a cold snort, and his powerful aura nearly knocked her over to the ground.

Dugu Yan's face was full of grievance, and tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes, "Grandpa, you..."

Letting out a long sigh, Dugu Bo gently stroked her forehead and said powerlessly, "Yan Yan, for the sake of our safety, break up with Yu Tianheng as soon as possible."

Dugu Yan still wanted to argue, but she had no chance at all.

Dugu Bo continued, "In the Soul Master World, the most well-known treasures that can increase one's strength are soul bones. Very few people know of the existence of Immortal Herbs; once exposed, many people on the continent will cause trouble for us."

"Grandpa doesn't recognize these Immortal Herbs either; it is all the credit of that little fellow Wu Qi, and the Poison Pill Method is the same."

"Grandpa has told you before that our family's martial soul has defects. With the Poison Pill, this defect can instead be transformed into our strength."

"We are not ungrateful people. If the news of the Immortal Herbs leaks, that little fellow will surely be targeted. Do you really want to be an ungrateful person?"

Dugu Yan sometimes acted eccentrically, but she still had her bottom line as a person.

She would absolutely never do something ungrateful.

But what did this have to do directly with gifting an Immortal Herb that increases strength to Yu Tianheng?

Dugu Bo said indifferently, "There weren't many Immortal Herbs, and I gave them all to that little fellow. The increase in the strength of the Imperial Fighting Team Two members must have used up all the Immortal Herbs."

"Also, you must not trust that brat Yu Tianheng. He is using you, using Grandpa, to seek profit for himself in the power struggle within his family."

"If he obtained an Immortal Herb and told the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family the news, that would be a massive contribution! Do you think he would give up such a good opportunity to climb the ladder?"

Dugu Yan argued, "Impossible, Tianheng and I are in true love, he wouldn't—"

Dugu Bo gave a dry laugh, "I didn't lock the dormitory door at all. If he wanted to come, he could come at any time. But after so many days, has he come?"

"Even if I am here, if he truly loved you, he would come to see you even if he had to risk his life. But look at him, he is hesitant and indecisive; knowing I am here, he has gone completely silent."

"Do you think there is any sincerity in the love spoken by such a person?"

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Dugu Bo immediately changed the subject, "Pack your luggage, I am taking you to hunt for a soul ring. That little fellow and his group are still in the forest right now; perhaps we might run into them."

"Also, he is a benefactor to our family, be more polite when you speak to him in the future!"

……

When the grandfather and granddaughter walked out of the dormitory, Yu Tianheng watched from afar.

Seeing Dugu Bo's figure, whether out of a guilty conscience or some other reason, he did not have the courage to walk up and greet them.

Dugu Yan noticed this scene, her eyes dimmed instantly, and she could not help but believe Dugu Bo's words.

With the grandfather and granddaughter appearing again, the Three Education Committees dared not delay and hurriedly came to ask about the cause of the matter.

But Dugu Bo's attitude left them confused.

He said Dugu Yan had been wronged, but he did not explain the specific details of the matter, nor did he mention holding Qin Ming accountable.

Although the Three Education Committees were puzzled, since Dugu Bo did not want to make a fuss, they would not look for trouble for themselves.

It was a blessing that this matter could be settled so easily; there was no need to bring it up again in the future.

Watching the grandfather and granddaughter leave, the Three Education Committees breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, the proposal to win over Shrek Academy was put on their agenda.

……

Sunset Forest.

As Chen Ping entered the state of absorbing a soul ring, this soul-hunting trip had reached its end.

Although they had experienced many dangers during this hunt, overall, it was safe and without incident.

While acting as a guardian for Chen Ping, Wu Qi could not help but say, "Changkong, you are currently at Level Thirty-Eight, you must break through to Level Forty as soon as possible."

"The double front line formed by you and Wushuang is an important part of the team and cannot be easily broken through."

Before the hunt, they had participated in team Spirit Fighting at the Great Spirit Arena.

Their luck was not bad; their opponents were also a team composed of a mix of Soul Ancestors and Soul Elders.

But they could not guarantee such luck every time. If they encountered a team of all Soul Ancestors, it would be difficult for Qiangu Changkong to withstand the pressure from the opponents as a front-liner, which would put the entire team in a passive position.

For the sake of training results, they must be motivated to improve their strength as soon as possible.

They had only just absorbed the Immortal Herbs, and there was still a lot of medicinal power in their bodies. If they intensified their cultivation during this period, the speed of their soul power increase would not be slow.

While they were talking, Dugu Bo followed their scent and found the group.

Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan and the Shenfeng Academy Academy Academy and Chihuo Academy Academy Academy were brother academies.

Dugu Yan was no stranger to Feng Xiaotian and the others, and they had some friendship between them.

"I didn't expect you all to come. Back then, Wu Qi was able to defeat Tianheng. With your addition, I fear the team's overall strength has already surpassed Team One." Dugu Yan gave a bitter smile.

If Yu Tianheng and the others from Imperial Fighting Team One had also absorbed Immortal Herbs, they might not have been without the strength to fight.

It was just a pity that treasures like Immortal Herbs were always reserved for those with destiny.

Asking herself, she felt that Yu Feng and the others were not worthy of absorbing them.

Wu Qi noticed the change in Dugu Yan's aura; originally she was only Level Thirty-Eight, but now that she had entered the forest, she must have already absorbed an Immortal Herb.

Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Wu Qi roughly guessed what Dugu Bo had done.

The latter had never thought much of Yu Tianheng to begin with, and absorbing the Immortal Herb could only be considered a catalyst.

After a brief exchange, Dugu Bo did not intend to linger here.

"It seems your soul hunting has reached its end; I still have to take Yan Yan to hunt for a soul, so I won't disturb you any further."

Before leaving, Dugu Bo informed Wu Qi of the news of Qin Ming's return and the Three Education Committees' decision to recruit Shrek Academy.

Wu Qi knew that for the next period of time, he would inevitably have to clash with Qin Ming.

After waiting for another two and a half hours, Chen Ping finished absorbing his Soul Ring, and his strength officially broke through to Level Forty-One.

The group did not stay in the forest for long and immediately returned to the academy.
