Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 25: After beating the younger one, here comes the older one (please read)

Zhu Zhuqing frowned, looked towards the door angrily, stood up resolutely, and opened the door aggressively.

Outside the door stood a pretty but somewhat angry woman. It was Dugu Yan who had fought with them before.

"What are you going to do?!" Zhu Zhuqing asked coldly.

"I..." Dugu Yan was choked by Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice. After a moment's pause, she regained her voice. "Where's Ling Qianyao? I need to talk to him about something."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her, her tone still cold, as if she was displeased that a good thing had been interrupted before it even started, "Come in."

She turned sideways, and Dugu Yan walked into the room from the position she had made room for, her eyes involuntarily glancing towards Zhu Zhuqing.

"I'm not envious. I'm not envious at all. Damn it, I am."

Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing leaned against each other, sitting opposite Dugu Yan across the table.

Ling Qianyao smiled and said, "We just had a soul battle not long ago. Are you coming here now to ask us to fight you again? My martial soul is naturally resistant to your poison. It's better not to humiliate yourself."

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and snorted coldly, "Who wants to fight you again! I came here this time because I have something serious to say. Don't think I'm so boring."

Ling Qianyao's smile didn't fade, but it was a little more playful. "Oh? Tell me about it?"

Dugu Yan slammed her hands on the table, her eyes blazing, "How did you get your thousand-year-old second spirit ring?"

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Dugu Yan, "Are you stupid? Let alone we are not classmates, even if we are classmates, can you ask other people about this kind of thing casually?

Besides, why should we tell you if you barge in like this and speak in a questioning tone?"

Dugu Yan was choked by Zhu Zhuqing's words and was speechless for a moment, her face changed slightly, but she quickly adjusted her mood, took a deep breath, and made her voice sound calm: "Sorry, Zhu Zhuqing, don't misunderstand, I don't mean to question you, and I know that this kind of thing can't be asked casually.

But I am really curious. You are so young and yet you have a thousand-year-old second spirit ring. No one has ever done this before. I just want to know how to increase the age of the spirit ring.

Don't worry, I've already stopped all those who wanted to come and ask about your Millennium Spirit Rings, including that guy Yu Tianheng."

At the end of her words, she gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly, "My injuries haven't healed yet, and I went to argue with Ling Qianyao, the man who kicked me off the fighting arena. I'm so angry I'm going to die."

Ling Qianyao shook his head. "Believe me, you will know the answer to this question soon. Someone from the royal family will come."

Dugu Yan was startled, "Are you going to tell the Tiandou royal family first?"

Ling Qianyao smiled and shook his head, "Actually, the method is very simple. What we lack is resources. But no matter who knows about this first, it will disrupt the balance.

I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble or disputes. Miss Duguyan, you can go back now. You will get the answer within a month."

Ling Qianyao had already made plans. He had no intention of keeping the whale glue matter a secret.

His martial soul's spirit ring can be disguised with the help of the Star Hidden Skill, but Zhu Zhuqing's cannot. Instead of letting people keep the secret of how they increase the age of their spirit rings, it is better to tell them in exchange for cultivation resources and status.

In addition, he had to "inform" Xingluo, Tiandou, and Wuhun Hall at the same time to achieve a balance.

Apart from her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun, who had organized a new force on her own under Ling Qianyao's advice and had some first-mover advantage by collecting some whale glue in advance, most other forces knew nothing about it and could not make much of a difference.

Besides, what's the point of knowing the function of whale glue? The raw materials still need time to be collected. Unlike Ling Qianyao, he has secretly purchased dozens of thousand-year-old whale glue in the past few years, and even with the help of Zhu Zhuyun, he spent tens of thousands of gold soul coins to buy a rare ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

By then, even if the major forces learned the news, Ling Qianyao would have ready-made resources in his hands and could make appropriate use of them.

Dugu Yan was a little confused by what he said and nodded subconsciously.

"Okay." "Oh, right!"

She slapped her forehead and said, "One more thing, how old are you? You are so powerful, but why do I feel like you look so young?"

Ling Qianyao pondered for a moment, "There's nothing to hide. Zhu Qing and I are the same age, just a few months shy of turning ten."

"Snatch, seize the young master?"

Dugu Yan glared. Eight years younger than her? Eight years, and the difference in soul power level was only nine levels?
Dugu Yan suddenly understood the mentality of those Tianwei-level soul masters in the academy. The gap between people was sometimes so unreasonable.

"Two freaks" Dugu Yan said in a very depressed tone.

At this moment, a strange laugh was heard from outside the house, "Who made my Yanyan angry?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thin old man suddenly appeared in the hall. He was wearing a gray robe and dark green from head to toe. His face was stiff, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked like he was about to die.

"grandfather?"

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment when she saw the newcomer, then she threw herself beside Dugu Bo with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily, revealing a smile uglier than crying, "Come and see my Yanyan."

He cast his gaze towards Ling Qianyao and the other two. "I heard that two geniuses from the Tiandou Royal Academy came today and kicked my precious granddaughter off the Soul Fighting Arena. Humph, boy, do you know whose granddaughter she is?!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed, and his tone was a bit threatening, "You dare to hit my Yanyan, are you ready to be taught a lesson by me?"

As he spoke, the entire space shook, and a huge pressure was released by Dugu Bo, heading straight for Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing is better.

Ling Qianyao sank his feet, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to bear a huge weight, leaving two shallow cracks under his feet.

His eyes were firm, and he met Dugu Bo's threatening gaze without fear. He gritted his teeth and said, "In the fighting arena, the competition is fair. Senior, it is too beneath your dignity to use your power to suppress others."

"Humph!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, "I, Dugu Bo, have only done things according to my own interests throughout my life. What status and face do I care about?"

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan looked at the scene in front of him, turned his head away, frowned and shouted, "Stop now, or Yanyan will ignore you."

"I'm fine, fine, Grandpa, stop." Dugu Bo's expression changed in an instant, returning to his smiling face, and he withdrew the pressure he had put on Ling Qianyao and the others. "Yanyan, don't be angry. Grandpa is just letting you vent your anger."

Even Ling Qianyao couldn't help but be amazed at the speed of the expression change.

Dugu Yan snorted softly, "Grandpa, you're such a fool. Losing is losing, there's no point in getting angry about it. If you keep doing this, how can I hold my head up high in the academy?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo patted Dugu Yan's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, it was Grandpa who misjudged me. My Yanyan is the most generous person, how could she get angry over such a small matter? Grandpa promises that he will never attack others casually again, okay?"

Dugu Yan finally nodded in satisfaction, turned to look at Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing, and said a little embarrassedly: "Ling Qianyao, Zhu Zhuqing, I'm sorry, my grandfather is just like that. He looks a little weird and has a weird temper. Don't take it to heart."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched when he heard this.

"Ahem, that boy called Ling Qianyao, you're the one who broke my Yanyan's poison?"
