Chapter 143: Performance Time
"There is such a special Immortal Herb?" Dugu Bo put on an astonished expression and looked at Ning Fengzhi, "What does the Tulip of Romance you speak of look like?"
Ning Fengzhi immediately told Dugu Bo what the Tulip of Romance looked like and made a promise that if Dugu Bo could have news of the Tulip of Romance, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would certainly reward him heavily.
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement with an unchanging expression.
After speaking, Ning Fengzhi did not linger and immediately left with the Title Douluo.
"This Tulip of Romance is one of the herbs Xiao Quan left in the Medicine Garden." Watching the two figures recede into the distance, a flash of sharp light passed through Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Xiao Quan, come in." Dugu Bo immediately recounted Ning Fengzhi's words just now.
After listening, a hint of a smile appeared in the depths of Shi Quan's eyes, "Grandpa Dugu, it looks like the plan has succeeded. I suspect Ning Rongrong may have already consumed this Tulip of Romance. Ning Fengzhi telling you the specific appearance of the Tulip of Romance must be to test you. Now is the time for your performance."
"You mean?" Dugu Bo chuckled, "Then tonight we shall go and give them a good performance, but what if there is no audience?"
"Ning Fengzhi specifically let the Title Douluo accompany him today, not the Sword Douluo; it is highly likely that it was to track you. Even if there is no audience, it won't have any impact on you, right, Grandpa?"
"But is the medicinal effect of that Tulip of Romance really as astonishing as Ning Fengzhi said?"
"This is?" The advancing Dugu Bo keenly sensed a slight anomaly. Although he did not discover any special aura, he could be certain of one thing: there was definitely someone nearby.
The Title Douluo commented, "It should be. In the past, the old Poisonous Fellow's body reeked of a pungent fishy smell. Seeing him this time, his aura is unified and all internalized. It seems he has gained quite a lot; his poison arts are clearly stronger than before."
"Brother Gu, this Dugu Bo has changed so much, he must have also consumed an Immortal Herb."
"Grandpa Dugu, you must prepare yourself mentally. Based on my understanding of Tang San, I fear it will be a complete mess..."
The Title Douluo followed all the way until he reached the outside of the poison array, not daring to enter rashly.
"That's true." Dugu Bo nodded, "I just don't know what kind of scene my Medicine Garden is in now."
Before long, Dugu Bo's extremely angry voice echoed through the forest.
A black shadow leaped out from the valley.
"This old Poisonous Fellow actually planted his herbs in the Sunset Forest?" The Title Douluo followed closely a thousand meters behind, carefully trailing him. The Spirit Beast Forest is different from the outside; if he encountered any Spirit Beasts, it was highly likely he would be discovered by Dugu Bo.
In the dead of night.
Space distorted, and the figure of the Title Douluo suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
The Title Douluo's abilities are known in the Spirit Master world for being tricky and difficult to deal with. He possesses special spatial power. As one of the rare Level 95 Agility Attack System Spirit Masters, his methods of reconnaissance and tracking are among the best on the entire continent.
"His strength should have broken through to Level 92. This three-level gap is not so easy to bridge." The Title Douluo nodded confidently.
Outside the valley.
"Xiao Quan really guessed right. Gu Rong, that old fellow, was indeed lurking in the dark. His position was impossible to lock onto; if it weren't for my strength breaking through to Level 93, I wouldn't even have been able to detect him," Dugu Bo thought to himself.
The two, one after the other, soon arrived in the Sunset Forest.
"Who! Who the hell did this!"
The Title Douluo, hidden in the dark, saw this and a smile finally curled at the corners of his mouth, "Finally came out? Fengzhi really didn't guess wrong."
"If it were true, Ning Fengzhi definitely wouldn't have come to find you. I think it must be that after Ning Rongrong ate the Tulip of Romance, the effect was unsatisfactory, which is why Ning Fengzhi came to find you to confirm the origin of the Immortal Herb."
Shi Quan chuckled. If it were the perfect Tulip of Romance from the original story, it would indeed be as Ning Fengzhi said, but it's a pity that the medicinal power of this Tulip of Romance had been extracted, and its effect was greatly reduced. Martial soul evolution? That is simply an impossible thing.
"Brother Gu, do you still have the confidence to track him without being discovered?"
Dugu Bo's angry voice was not faked. Even though Shi Quan had done psychological preparation in advance, when he saw his Medicine Garden ruined to this state, a surge of anger still couldn't help but sprout from the bottom of his heart.
The roaring sound carried the powerful spirit pressure of a Title Douluo, turning into a pale green air wave that suddenly spread out with Dugu Bo's body as the center. Wherever it passed, it was like splitting bamboo, and the poison array shrouding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well also collapsed with a boom.
Seeing this, the Title Douluo hurriedly hid his figure and flew silently several thousand meters away, fearing that Dugu Bo would expose his position in a fit of random venting.
"Don't let me find you!" Dugu Bo's furious voice rang out.
In the next second, Dugu Bo's figure flew away rapidly.
After confirming that Dugu Bo had gone far away, the Title Douluo then sneaked into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well based on Dugu Bo's previous position. Just after entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he was attracted by the special environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. When he saw the messy scene on the ground, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"I don't know how that old fellow Dugu Bo discovered this place. This environment is indeed special, no wonder it could grow so many special Immortal Herbs. But this old fellow is unlucky enough; such a hidden place was discovered by others. I fear his entire fortune has been stolen, right?"
The Title Douluo laughed gloatingly and then disappeared from where he stood.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Upon returning, the Title Douluo immediately told Ning Fengzhi about his findings along the way.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi also revealed a look of astonishment. He had never thought that there was such a special place in the world.
"This Tang Hao is ruthless enough. Stealing things is one thing, but he didn't even clean up. That messy scene, I fear it will make that old fellow Dugu Bo so angry he won't be able to sleep."
"Brother Gu, according to your meaning, Tang Hao should still have quite a few Immortal Herbs there?"
"I can't say for sure. After all, that Medicine Garden is not small. Looking at that scene, Tang Hao and the others picked at least over seventy herbs. How many of these herbs are Immortal Herbs is unclear, after all, I don't recognize Immortal Herbs."
"With so many herbs, there must be quite a few Immortal Herbs." A cold light flashed through the depths of Ning Fengzhi's eyes, "In the end, he only gave Rongrong an ordinary herb and bragged that it was an Immortal Herb, and even dragged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into the water. What a Tang Hao, what a Tang San."
"This Tang Hao is clearly afraid that Dugu Bo would discover that the strength of that group from Shrek had improved too much and suspect them, which is why he did this."
"Tang Hao and Tang San are completely unreliable. Find a way to find Zhuang Zhou and find an Immortal Herb suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul from him."
Ning Fengzhi already had a grudge against Tang San. After experiencing this incident, he was even more dissatisfied with Tang San. If it weren't for Tang San's special Hidden Weapons, Ning Fengzhi might have already turned against him.
Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Hou Shan valley.
"This Tang Hao and Tang San were truly ruthless, they could be said to have ruined my Medicine Garden into a complete mess..."
Shi Quan endured his laughter while listening to Dugu Bo nagging there.
"But Tang Hao also solved a big problem for us."
After listening to Dugu Bo finish his nagging, Shi Quan then spoke up.
"Now Yu Tianheng and Ning Rongrong have both eaten the Immortal Herbs Tang San gave them, and Ning Fengzhi even knows that the Immortal Herbs have all been taken by Tang Hao and Tang San. Their attention will all be focused on Tang Hao. Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling have also been cleared of suspicion, and you, Grandpa, have also kept yourself out of trouble. Some ordinary herbs, wasting them is worth it."
"That's true." Dugu Bo shook his head helplessly and continued: "There are still eleven months until the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament begins. News came from the Education Committee that when the next semester starts, they will arrange an internal assessment for the Heaven Dou Team and the Shrek Team to decide on the Seed Team to represent the Empire in the competition. This team can skip the Preliminary Round and Promotion Tournament and directly participate in the Grand Finals."
"No problem." Shi Quan nodded, "Grandpa Dugu, I want to readjust the Medicinal Bath for Yu Feng and the others, and at the same time make some potions to strengthen their foundations."
Dugu Bo's deep gaze fell on Shi Quan, "I knew you brat definitely wouldn't let me be idle."
"Speak, how do I need to cooperate with you..."
On the other side.
On the Training Ground, Yu Xiaogang held the documents in his hand and said while distributing them: "This is the training plan I have customized for you all. In the coming days, everyone must complete it strictly; only then can the medicinal power hidden within your bodies be forced out to the maximum extent."
Everyone took the training schedules handed over by Yu Xiaogang one by one, and looking at the densely packed training content on the schedules, they only felt a sense of scalp-numbing dread.
Not only was the time tight, but the intensity of the tasks was also exceptionally high.
"Uncle, isn't this difficulty a bit too exaggerated?" Yu Tianheng looked at the training schedule in his hand and swallowed, as his training plan was more than twice as difficult as the physical training previously customized by Shi Quan, and it also lacked any time for rest.
Yu Xiaogang replied with an expressionless face: "Only with sufficient pressure can your body's potential be excavated."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong said directly: "The intensity of these training items is too high; I am afraid I will be unable to complete them."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Ning Rongrong, his brows furrowing involuntarily; Ning Rongrong had a special status and also had a deep friendship with Shi Quan, so he worried that if he pushed Ning Rongrong too hard, she would go directly to find Shi Quan.
"If you truly cannot sustain it, it can be slightly reduced."
Ning Rongrong's current soul power level was thirty-one, and it was impossible for her to reach the Soul Ancestor level in the subsequent competitions, so her auxiliary abilities would not see much improvement... Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang spoke again: "Little Ao, the same goes for you, but the other combat-type Spirit Masters must execute this strictly."
"..."
Hearing this, everyone immediately revealed a bitter expression.
"It is decided then; everyone begin training." Yu Xiaogang's indifferent voice came, "Qin Ming, Zhao Wuji, you two are responsible for supervision."
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.
"Brothers, I have reached Level 40."
Early in the morning, Dai Mubai arrived in the hall and excitedly told everyone this good news.
Dai Mubai's improvement made Master even more certain that his training method had no issues...
