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

"Then what should we do now?" Liu Erlong asked.

Flanders pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see. Since this mysterious friend has no ill intentions, we don't have to worry too much. Moreover, since he can help our students improve their strength, we can also take this opportunity to improve the strength of the academy."

Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji nodded when they heard this. They felt that what Flanders said made sense. After all, they didn't know the origin of this mysterious friend, so it was better to be careful.

……

Dugu Bo stood in a corner of the medicinal field, his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over the lush and green fairy herbs on the ground. This medicinal field was a sacred place that he had spent countless efforts to build, and now, the future of the two little guys, Dugu Yan and Lu Yu, was also lingering in his mind.

"Grandpa, you're daydreaming here again." A crisp voice sounded, and Duguyan came over with a basket of freshly picked herbs, with a puzzled look on her face, "You've been looking weird these past two days, is there something wrong with your health again?"

"Nonsense!" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows and pretended to be fierce. "Your grandfather is in good health now. How can a mere toxin trap me? Besides, with the detoxification pill left by Lu Yu, my toxins have been stabilized long ago."

"Then you..." Dugu Yan blinked, looking confused.

"Hmph, nothing." Dugu Bo's eyes flickered and he waved his hand, "Yan'er, let me ask you, what do you think of that kid Lu Yu?"

"Lu Yu?" Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, "Brother Lu Yu is a very good person, with superb medical skills and is always willing to help others. Most importantly, he also takes good care of me."

"Oh? Just fine?" Dugu Bo stared at her with a half-smile, "Nothing else?"

Dugu Yan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, lowered her head and muttered softly: "Grandpa, what do you want to say? Why do you always mention Brother Lu Yu..."

Dugu Bo looked at her shy appearance, and suddenly had some thoughts in his mind. He sighed and said, "Yan'er, Grandpa is not asking these questions because he is bored. You are not young anymore, you should think about your future."

"In the future?" Dugu Yan raised her head, the blush on her face deepened a little, "Grandpa, you... don't want me and brother Lu Yu to..."

"What? You don't want to?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows.

"I..." Dugu Yan bit her lip, lowered her head and said nothing, obviously acquiescing.

"Haha, I knew it!" Dugu Bo clapped his hands and laughed, "I think this is a good idea. That boy has outstanding medical skills and great potential. He is worthy of our Yan'er."

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan's face turned red and she stamped her feet. "How can you say that! Brother Lu Yu hasn't said anything yet!"

"Humph, he dares not to tell you?" Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "If he dares to let you down, I will make sure he never returns!"

"Grandpa! Don't mess around!" Dugu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Dugu Bo's arm, with a hint of anxiety in her tone, "Brother Lu Yu is not that kind of person, you can't scare him casually!"

"Alright, alright, Grandpa is just talking." Dugu Bo waved his hand, but his tone was still a little impatient, "But where did that kid go? He hasn't been seen for a few days, and he's really getting more and more unruly."

"Brother Lu Yu said he was going to look for a rare medicinal herb and would probably be back the day after tomorrow," Dugu Yan explained.

"Hmph, that's good." Dugu Bo snorted coldly, his eyes revealing some deep meaning, "When he comes back, I will ask him in person what he means. If he dares to be vague, don't blame me for making him suffer."

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan glared at him with some dissatisfaction, "Can you please not be so overbearing? Brother Lu Yu saved us, he doesn't owe us anything!"

"Alright, alright, Grandpa knows what's going on." Dugu Bo waved his hand, pretending that he didn't want to say anything more. "You, go and sort out the herbs quickly, don't let people laugh at you."

Dugu Yan knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she just curled her lips and left with the medicine basket.

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter's departing back, shook his head, and murmured, "Silly girl, grandpa is doing this for you. Humph, Lu Yu boy, don't let me down."

Two days later, Lu Yu returned to the medicinal field as promised. He was wearing a light robe, holding a few rare medicinal herbs in his arms, and his expression was a little tired, but more excited.

"Brother Lu Yu!" Dugu Yan was the first to greet him, her eyes full of joy, "You're finally back!"

"Dugu Yan." Lu Yu smiled and handed the herbs in his hand to her. "These are the materials you wanted. It took me some time to find them."

"Thank you!" Dugu Yan took the herbs, feeling happy.

However, just as she was about to continue speaking, she heard a deep voice interrupting: "Lu Yu boy, come here!"

Lu Yu looked up at the source of the sound and saw Dugu Bo standing in the middle of the medicinal field, staring at him fiercely. His heart tightened, but he quickly regained his composure and walked towards Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu, are you looking for me?" Lu Yu bowed and spoke in a humble tone.

"Humph, why are you pretending to be so smart?" Dugu Bo snorted coldly, "Let me ask you, how does Yan'er treat you?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to ask this question, but he still answered honestly: "Miss Yan'er is very good to me. She has a straightforward personality and treats people sincerely. She is a very good friend."

"Friend?" Dugu Bo sneered, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Lu Yu boy, don't play dumb! Grandpa, let me say this today, Yan'er is my granddaughter, she likes you, what do you think?"

When Lu Yu heard this, his expression changed slightly. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Dugu Yan, only to see that her face was flushed and she lowered her head and dared not look at him.

"Senior Dugu, this matter..." Lu Yu chose his words carefully, seeming a little hesitant.

"What's this or that?" Dugu Bo interrupted him directly, his tone became sharp, "You just need to tell me whether you are willing or not!"

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Dugu Bo: "Senior, this matter is of great importance, I cannot agree to it rashly."

"Oh?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows, his eyes became sharper, "You mean you don't want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to." Lu Yu shook his head, his tone serious, "It's just that my mind is currently on medical skills and cultivation, and I'm afraid I can't give Miss Yan'er a stable future."

"Nonsense!" Dugu Bo slapped the ground, and the air around him seemed to vibrate. "Why do you need to worry so much about love? I think you are just making excuses!"

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan finally couldn't help but speak. She ran forward and grabbed Dugu Bo's arm, and said anxiously, "Don't force him! Brother Lu Yu has his own ideas, I... I don't mind!"

Dugu Bo looked at the tears in his granddaughter's eyes, and his heart softened, but he still snorted coldly: "Okay, since you said so, I won't care for the time being. But Lu Yu, I warn you, if you dare to betray Yan'er, don't blame me for being rude!"

Lu Yu nodded, his tone firm: "Please rest assured, senior, I will never do anything to damage Miss Yan'er's reputation."

Dugu Bo stared at him coldly for a moment, and finally turned and left, leaving Dugu Yan and Lu Yu standing there. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

"Brother Lu Yu, I'm sorry..." Dugu Yan said in a low voice, with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"It's okay." Lu Yu smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Miss Yan'er, your grandfather is doing this for your own good. Don't worry, I will work hard to make myself stronger, and maybe... one day, I will be able to respond to your expectations." Dugu Yan raised her head, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and nodded gently.

The two stood in the medicinal field. Although there were no extra words, a subtle emotion flowed in silence.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Lu Yu came to Lanba Academy again. This time, he came to check the training results of three students.

"Sir!" Seeing Lu Yu appear, the three students hurriedly saluted respectfully.

Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, it seems that the results of your training during this period are quite good."

After that, Lu Yu released his mental power and began to check the strength of the three students. After a moment, he retracted his mental power and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Very good, your strength has been greatly improved. Now, I can tell you a good news." Lu Yu said lightly.

"What good news?" The three of them were delighted when they heard this. Since this mysterious man said so, it must be good news.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "I have prepared the fourth spirit ring for you. As long as you can successfully absorb this spirit ring, your strength will be greatly improved again."

"Really? Sir!" The three of them were all very excited when they heard this. What does the fourth soul ring mean to a soul master? If one can successfully absorb a powerful fourth soul ring, then the strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

Lu Yu nodded and said, "That's right, but absorbing spirit rings also has certain risks. If anything unexpected happens during the process of absorbing the spirit ring, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

The three of them were startled when they heard this. However, they quickly reacted and replied respectfully, "Yes, sir! We will definitely be careful!"

After saying that, Lu Yu turned and walked out of the academy. Seeing this, the three of them hurriedly followed him.

After traveling all the way, the four of them came to a remote valley. Various exotic plants grew in the valley, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

"Sir, is this the place you want to bring us to?" one of the students asked curiously.

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, this is the location of the spirit ring I prepared for you. Do you see that thousand-year-old spirit beast over there? It is your fourth spirit ring."

Hearing this, the three of them all looked in the direction of Lu Yu's finger. They saw a huge python coiled on a tree not far away. The python's body was dark green, covered with scales, and its eyes flashed with a cold light.

"This...is this a thousand-year-old soul beast?" one of the students said in surprise.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, this is a thousand-year-old soul beast. But don't worry, I have already subdued it. As long as you can follow my instructions, you will be able to successfully absorb this soul ring."

The three of them were all excited when they heard this. Since this mysterious master said so, he must be sure. As long as they can follow his instructions, they will be able to successfully absorb this spirit ring.

After that, Lu Yu began to instruct the three on how to absorb the spirit ring. Under his guidance, the three began to slowly approach the thousand-year spirit beast.

After a while, the three finally came to the side of the thousand-year soul beast. According to Lu Yu's instructions, they began to circulate their soul power and prepare to absorb the soul ring.

I saw a ray of light shooting out from the thousand-year soul beast and entering the bodies of the three people. Then, I saw the body began to tremble slightly, and a look of pain appeared on the face.

Seeing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart. This is a normal reaction to absorbing a spirit ring. As long as he can persist, he will be able to successfully absorb this spirit ring.

After a while, the light faded, and the three people's bodies stopped shaking. They opened their eyes, and their eyes were shining with excitement.

"We...we succeeded!" one of the students said excitedly.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, you have now successfully absorbed the fourth soul ring. Next, you can continue to practice and improve your strength."

The three of them were greatly encouraged when they heard this.

"Senior Dugu, junior Lu Yu wants to see you!"

Lu Yu brought Xiao Wu and Oscar to a quiet courtyard. This was the place where Poison Douluo Dugu Bo lived in seclusion.

"Haha, it's you kid, come in!"

Dugu Bo's old voice came from inside the house, with a hint of smile.

Lu Yu pushed the door open and saw Dugu Bo standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the scenery outside the window with a leisurely and contented look on his face.

"Junior greets Senior Dugu." Lu Yu bowed slightly.

"No need to be polite." Dugu Bo turned around and glanced at Lu Yu and the other two, finally stopping at Xiao Wu. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Who is this little girl?"

"She is my fiancée, Xiao Wu." Lu Yu introduced.

"Fiancée?" Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but look at Xiao Wu a few more times, seeming a little surprised.

You know, although Lu Yu is young, he is extremely powerful, even he feels a little tricky. Moreover, Lu Yu's identity is not simple, he is the elder of the Spirit Hall.

With such status and strength, what kind of woman could he not want? Unexpectedly, he already had a fiancée.

"Greetings, senior." Seeing this, Xiao Wu also bowed obediently.

"Yeah, not bad." Dugu Bo nodded slightly, then looked at Oscar, "Who is this?"

"He is my brother, Oscar." Lu Yu continued to introduce.

"Oh, a food-type soul master, good talent." Dugu Bo just took a casual glance and saw Oscar's background.

After all, he is a Titled Douluo, and his understanding of soul masters far exceeds that of ordinary people.

"Thank you for your compliment, senior." Oscar scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, stop standing and sit down." Dugu Bo pointed to a chair beside him.

Hearing this, Lu Yu and the other two also sat down without hesitation. (End of this chapter)
