Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

Duguyan nodded, and said firmly: "Yes, I give up."

These four words were like a bomb that instantly exploded in the entire fighting arena.

"What? She gave up?"

"Oh my god, this is the third round! Dugu Yan actually gave up directly?"

"What is she doing? How can she just give up on a game like this?"

The host was obviously caught off guard by this scene, and it took him several seconds to react. He quickly announced the result: "Lu Yu wins this game!"

However, the two people on the stage were not shaken by the result at all. Dugu Yan still stood there, as if he didn't care about the noise from the audience at all.

"Why?" Lu Yu asked in a deep voice.

Dugu Yan smiled and said, "Because it's not necessary. I know your goal and I also know my strength. Instead of wasting your energy, it's better to just give up."

Lu Yu frowned even deeper: "You are not that kind of person."

Dugu Yan looked at him with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "So what kind of person do you think I am? Fighting to the death and then losing miserably? Sorry, I'm not that stupid."

"This is not good for you." Lu Yu's tone was slightly low.

Duguyan smiled softly, with a hint of tenderness in her voice: "Lu Yu, I never care about other people's opinions. You know that."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and in the end, Lu Yu said nothing. He looked at Dugu Yan deeply, turned around and walked down the fighting arena.

Dugu Yan was still standing there, looking at his back, the smile on her lips gradually faded, and there was a hint of indescribable emotion in her eyes.

The audience was still talking, but Duguyan on the stage seemed to hear nothing. She slowly closed her eyes and murmured in a low voice: "Lu Yu, I hope you won't let me down."

This scene, in the eyes of everyone off the field, became an incomprehensible mystery.

Some people speculated about the relationship between the two, some people questioned Dugu Yan's choice, but the only thing that is certain is that the waves caused by this game are far from over.

After Lu Yu walked off the fighting arena, his expression remained the same. He returned to the rest area for the players, only to find several familiar eyes staring at him.

"Lu Yu, what is your relationship with that Dugu Yan?"

The person who spoke was teammate Li Ran, with an unconcealable curiosity on his face.

Lu Yu glanced at him calmly, and said calmly: "It's not a special relationship."

Li Ran obviously didn't believe it: "Impossible! The way she looked at you just now, and her immediate act of admitting defeat, it doesn't look like a normal relationship, right?"

The other teammates also came over, their eyes full of gossipy interest.

"Lu Yu, tell me the truth, did you know each other before? Is there any story behind it?"

"Yes, yes, this situation is not common!"

Facing his teammates' questions, Lu Yu remained calm: "I've only seen it a few times before. It's not as complicated as you think."

"Huh, who would believe that?" Li Ran rolled his eyes, but didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then turned and walked to the window, looking at the sky outside the fighting arena. His expression was as calm as water, but there was a ripple in his heart.

"Duguyan, what are you thinking about?"

That night, Lu Yu's mind kept emerging with the complicated look in Dugu Yan's eyes when she left. It seemed to hide countless secrets that no one could decipher.

The annual competition of Tiandou Royal Academy has come as expected. The huge competition venue has been crowded and bustling. The VIP seats on the high platform are already full. The nobles, scholars, and representatives of major forces of the Tiandou Empire have gathered here. At this moment, a dark green figure slowly stepped onto the high platform, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

He was a tall and thin old man with a pale face and cold eyes, as if he had some innate poison. He was wearing a dark green robe with fine vine patterns embroidered on the corners. It swayed slightly with his steps, like a venomous snake, with a creepy pressure. Even the many heavyweights of the Tiandou Empire sitting in the VIP seats couldn't help but frown when they saw this person coming.

The old man walked steadily to the center of the platform, his steps neither hurried nor slow, as if the noise of the entire venue had nothing to do with him. As soon as he stood still, Prince Xuexing, who was dressed in luxurious robes, stood up beside him, with a respectful smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Senior Dugu, how come you are in the mood to visit the competition at Tiandou Royal Academy today?" Prince Xuexing's voice was warm and tentative at the same time.

Dugu Bo smiled faintly, his eyes swept over Prince Xuexing, but he didn't have any intention of greeting him. His voice was low and a little hoarse, and he said slowly: "Why, I, an old man, came to see you, do I have to report to you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the VIP seats had different expressions, and the venue suddenly became quiet. Who is Dugu Bo? This Poison Douluo is a well-known Titled Douluo in the Tiandou Empire, and even has a reputation for being somewhat unruly. Even Prince Xuexing doesn't dare to provoke him easily.

Prince Xuexing could sense the coldness in Dugu Bo's words, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all. Instead, he bowed slightly and said, "Senior, you are too kind. It is a great honor for our Tiandou Royal Academy to have you here. However, the competitions in the academy have always been just competitions between the younger generations. I don't think it is worth your presence."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, his eyes swept across the competition area below the venue, and said indifferently: "I am not a big shot. I came here today just to accompany my granddaughter. She is also participating in this college competition. I have nothing to do, so I took a look by the way."

"Granddaughter?" Prince Xuexing raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by the "granddaughter" mentioned by Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze inadvertently swept over Prince Xuexing. His voice was calm but revealed an unquestionable majesty: "Why, are you from the Tiandou Royal Academy afraid that my granddaughter will bully others?"

"No, no." Prince Xuexing waved his hands quickly, revealing a slightly awkward smile, "Senior, you are joking. Since she is your granddaughter, it is naturally an honor for our Tiandou Royal Academy. I wonder who she is? Among the freshmen participating in the competition this year, is there anyone so lucky as to receive guidance from you?"

Dugu Bo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled sarcastically: "You should know who she is. You can see it clearly when you watch the game today. I just remind you that if she is wronged, hehe..." He smiled coldly, and although he didn't say the rest of the words, it made people's hearts tremble.

Prince Xuexing's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior. The academy has always been fair in judging and will never let anyone suffer injustice."

Dugu Bo did not respond, but nodded lightly, and then found an inconspicuous seat in the VIP seat and sat down. Although the color of his robe was conspicuous, he seemed to blend in with the surroundings when he sat there, and even his breathing was almost undetectable. His cold eyes looked straight down through the railing of the VIP seat.

At the competition venue, the contestants were already preparing to take the stage. As the host loudly announced the rules and order of competition, the venue became lively again. However, the several distinguished guests on the stage were obviously a little uneasy because of Dugu Bo's arrival. "Why did this old poisoner suddenly appear here?" A middle-aged man in aristocratic clothing asked in a low voice, with a bit of fear in his eyes.

Prince Xuexing tilted his head slightly and lowered his voice very low: "It seems that the granddaughter he mentioned is one of the new students participating in this competition. He came to watch the game in person, probably because he was worried that someone would harm her. You should be careful and don't provoke him."

"Dugu Bo also has a granddaughter?" Another person couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, obviously quite surprised.

Prince Xuexing said no more and turned his gaze back to the venue, with a smile on his face as always, but he was already thinking secretly in his heart. Although Dugu Bo's arrival might not interfere with the competition, his attitude and position undoubtedly added a touch of tension to this college competition.

When the game officially started, Dugu Bo still sat in the VIP seat with an indifferent look. Even though the performances of the players on the field won the applause of the whole audience, his expression did not change at all. Only when a certain player came on the field did his eyes flicker slightly.

She was a petite girl with a pretty face and lively eyes, but with a calmness that did not match her age. She was wearing an ordinary college competition uniform, and her eyebrows and eyes vaguely revealed a similar aura to Dugu Bo.

"That must be his granddaughter." Prince Xuexing muttered to himself, his eyes thoughtful.

Dugu Bo snorted, as if responding to Prince Xuexing's guess, or just making a disdainful comment on a certain scene on the field. His eyes fell on the girl, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to be less, replaced by a kind of deeply hidden concern.

As the game progressed, the girl's performance obviously attracted everyone's attention. Her martial spirit was not particularly dazzling, but every time she used her spirit skills, she was accurate and decisive, which made people tremble with fear. Even when facing an opponent stronger than her, she seemed particularly calm.

The competition on the field became more and more intense, but the atmosphere in the VIP seats remained solemn. Although Dugu Bo never said much, his presence was like a sharp blade hanging high in the air, which could not be ignored at any time.

Until the end of the game, Dugu Bo did not talk to anyone. He just quietly watched the figure of the girl on the field until she walked out of the field, then he slowly stood up, his robe slightly fluttered, and turned to leave.

"Senior, are you not staying to watch the rest of the game?" Prince Xuexing asked tentatively.

Dugu Bo didn't even turn his head, but just waved his hand and said coldly: "Not interested."

Watching Dugu Bo's departing figure, Prince Xuexing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he became more concerned about the girl's identity and background. Although Dugu Bo's arrival did not cause any disturbance, the shadow he left behind could not be dissipated for a long time.

In the early morning, the breeze blows gently, and the sun shines on the lake, making the waves sparkle, as if countless golden fish are jumping on the lake.

By the lake, Lu Yu sat cross-legged, holding a red brush in his hand and a blank talisman paper in front of him.

His eyes were focused and solemn, the spiritual power in his body was surging through his meridians and gathering on the tip of the pen.

"Please ask for the divine talisman. Success or failure depends on this one move!"

Lu Yu whispered softly, and the tip of his pen quickly sketched on the talisman paper. Every stroke contained his deep understanding and perception of the art of talismans.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the friction sound between the pen tip and the talisman paper echoing in my ears.

Suddenly, Lu Yu paused, the tip of his pen hovered in the air, his brows furrowed, a look of doubt on his face.

“Why do I always feel like something is missing?”

Lu Yu pondered in his heart, he had clearly followed the method of drawing the talisman and had paid attention to every detail, but why did he always feel that this talisman was still lacking a bit of soul?
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, as if some mysterious power was guiding him.

"I understand!"

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He picked up the pen again and moved the tip of the pen quickly on the talisman paper. This time, his movements were smoother, and every stroke seemed to contain the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Finally, as the last stroke was made, the talisman paper glowed brightly, and a mysterious pattern slowly emerged, emitting a faint sense of oppression.

"Success!"

Lu Yu stood up excitedly, looked at the talisman in his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The God-Summoning Talisman is one of the most powerful talismans in the art of talismans. It can communicate between heaven and earth and invite gods for help.

The talisman for summoning gods drawn by Lu Yu was the result of several years of hard work, combined with his own understanding of the art of talismans. Its power is strong enough to rival some low-level magical powers.

Just as Lu Yu was immersed in the joy of success, he suddenly noticed a pair of eyes watching him secretly.

He looked up suddenly and saw a girl in a black dress standing quietly under a big tree not far away. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see into people's hearts.

"Who are you? Why are you spying here?"

Lu Yu asked in a deep voice, a trace of vigilance rising in his heart. This girl was able to approach him quietly and without being discovered by him. Her strength must be extraordinary.

When the girl heard Lu Yu's question, a hint of surprise appeared on her face. She obviously didn't expect that her whereabouts would be discovered so quickly.

However, she quickly regained her composure, a faint smile forming on her lips.

"Your perception is quite sharp, but I mean no harm."

The girl's voice was clear and sweet, like the sound of a mountain spring.

Lu Yu frowned slightly. He did not believe what the girl said. After all, in this world where the strong are respected, human hearts are unpredictable.

"Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

Lu Yu asked again, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

The girl seemed to sense Lu Yu's hostility. She sighed softly and said slowly: "My name is Xiao Wu, and I am from a nearby tribe. I came out to collect herbs and accidentally saw you drawing talismans here. I was attracted by your talent, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

After hearing the girl's explanation, Lu Yu relaxed his vigilance a little, but he did not completely believe her words.

After all, in this world, disguise and deception are common. (End of this chapter)
