Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

One day later, Seven Star Academy.

In the quiet room, a faint fragrance lingers.

In a corner of the room, Cheng Xiao sat cross-legged on a quaint bed, with purple airflow slowly swirling around him, emitting a faint glow.

After a while, under the tightly closed eyes, the eyelashes blinked slightly, and the purple light circling around the body became stronger and stronger, like purple air coming from the east, illuminating the entire room.

As the light around him shone brightly, Cheng Xiao's eyes also opened at this moment. A deep and dark purple light flickered in his eyes, accompanied by another surge of purple light on his body. This purple light was so strong that even the soldiers in the shadows were shocked.

"The king's strength has increased again." said a shadow soldier.

Gradually, the purple light emanating from the young man gradually retracted, and the dazzling purple light also dissipated at this moment.

"Sure enough, only by relying on oneself can one become truly strong on the other side." Cheng Xiao pondered in his heart. This battle with Tang Hao actually allowed him to further improve his cultivation.

Feeling the soul power filling his body, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile. It must be said that this battle turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him.

Cheng Xiao inhaled the faint fragrance, took a deep breath, and then jumped off the bed.

Just as he put on the clothes that Yin had prepared for him, the sound of the door being pushed open suddenly rang out.

Dugu Bo, dressed in a dark green robe, pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Cheng Xiao standing inside the room getting dressed, he was stunned at first, then he walked up to him with a smile on his face and laughed, "Good boy, judging from the aura emanating from you, I'm afraid you have made a breakthrough because of this, right?"

"It's a blessing in disguise. It's really lucky." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad. Seeing you like this, I guess there's nothing wrong with your health." After looking Cheng Xiao up and down, Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with joy and he smiled with relief.

"It's nothing serious. I just consumed a lot of energy at the time. After resting for a day and a night, I'm fine." Cheng Xiao shook his head slightly and said softly.

"That's fine." Dugu Bo nodded slightly, then crossed his arms over his chest and asked in confusion: "Speaking of which, why would Haotian Douluo come to kill you? Is there some unspeakable secret between you and him?"

"There is no secret, just some minor conflicts." Cheng Xiao spread his hands and said helplessly: "You know Tang San, right? He is the son of Haotian Douluo, and I, not long ago, severely injured his son, so, do you understand?"

"Damn, this grandson is so shameless?" Dugu Bo was very dissatisfied with Tang Hao's behavior. Thanks to the fact that he had been with Cheng Xiao for a long time, the old guy's words were full of dirty words.

"So he wants to kill you because you hit his son. Why did you stop me in the first place? Wouldn't it be a one-time thing if I just killed them all together?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao waved his hand and said, "Old Poison, that's what you said, but if you really kill Tang San and the Golden Triangle, do you think you can still stand here peacefully now?"

"There are reasons for not killing him. Sometimes, it's not that you don't want to kill him, but that you can't kill him. Killing him is easy, but there will be a lot of trouble after killing him. Don't forget that there are still problems between Tang Hao and the Spirit Hall that cannot be resolved. If you kill Tang San, it is equivalent to completely offending Tang Hao."

"Given Tang Hao's temper, you can run fast, but what about your granddaughter Dugu Yan? If Tang Hao goes crazy, he might attack Sister Yanzi. By then, you won't even have anywhere to cry."

With a bitter look on his face, Dugu Bo suddenly realized that he could not see through Cheng Xiao. With his personality, he would never consider so much. After all, he was a Titled Douluo. Even if he killed these people and attracted revenge, he could still escape even if he could not defeat them. But after listening to Cheng Xiao's words, Dugu Bo suddenly realized that killing Tang San was equivalent to cutting off Tang Hao's thoughts. No one knew what crazy actions Tang Hao could take without his thoughts. Therefore, under the circumstances at that time, if he had killed Tang San, he would probably be fleeing wildly on the mainland.

Didn't he see that this father just came out to kill people when his son was seriously injured? If he had killed his son, what would have happened?

After figuring it out, Dugu Bo sighed heavily. He thought that after reaching the Titled Douluo, many things would not be so troublesome. But until now, he realized that after reaching the Titled Douluo, there were still many things he could not do, because there were even more powerful Titled Douluo above him.

"Okay, what are you, a Titled Douluo, worried about?" Looking at Dugu Bo who looked worried, Cheng Xiao smiled and teased: "You are the Poison Douluo who dominates the world, what else do you have to worry about?"

"Don't forget, Tang Hao's current enemy is me, and you, Poison Douluo, have nothing to do with him. Even if he is worried, it should be me who is worried, right?"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo smiled bitterly. He knew what Cheng Xiao meant. He was using his own life to comfort himself. After all, he was right. Tang Hao's attention should be focused on Cheng Xiao at the moment. As for him, Dugu Bo, Tang Hao probably wouldn't even look at him.

"By the way, little brat, you've been resting for a whole day and night, haven't you eaten?" Dugu Bo suddenly said.

"Then you have to treat me to something good?" Cheng Xiao continued.

"That's nonsense. I still owe you this little money for dinner." Dugu Bo glared and said generously, "We won't eat in the academy this time. Let's go out and eat in the most expensive hotel in Tiandou City."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "Don't just bring me along, let Sister Yanzi come along as well. As a grandfather, you can't forget about your granddaughter, right?"

"Nonsense, do you think I'm only inviting you?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows and said stubbornly, "When I invite you to dinner, I must bring my granddaughter with me. I'm not inviting you alone. How much can you spend by yourself?"

After he finished speaking, Dugu Bo waved his sleeves and strode out the door, as if he didn't care about Cheng Xiao at all.

However, seeing Dugu Bo like this, Cheng Xiao's lips curled up into a faint smile. After muttering something, he quickly followed.

"Old Poison, are you really telling the truth? Why does it sound sour to me?"

“Get lost, you are just being ungrateful. Damn it, not only did you get revenge, but you even broke through a level because of it. When you wake up, I will treat you to a meal. So just be happy!”

"Hey, you old poisoner, you're not sincere in everything you say."

"What do you mean by sincerity? How come I don't know?"

"Haha, you're so stubborn..."

"Haha, you little brat..."

Two figures, an old man and a young boy, walked slowly on the road paved with blue bricks. Occasionally, the sound of their bickering could be heard, bringing some joy.

A breeze blew by, and the figures of an old man and a child gradually faded away under the sunshine. (End of this chapter)
