Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 70 Encountering Plot Characters

After a long journey of about half a month, Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan arrived in Notting City. There they found Dugu Bo, whose appearance had changed drastically.

After revealing his identity, the relationship between the two became closer. Fang Tian then taught Dugu Bo the technique of Soul Condensation and Control, mainly to help him better control his soul power, which would be beneficial for his research on Soul Power Condensation Pill.

Dugu Bo naturally took matters of life and death to heart. He quickly mastered the art of Soul Control through Condensed Silk to its pinnacle.

During the process of cultivating the Soul Controlling Silk Condensation Technique, Dugu Bo introduced all his toxins into the left arm bone of the 60,000-year-old Thousand Silk Willow.

Now, Dugu Bo's hair and eyebrows have returned to their original black color, and he looks much younger. Nourished by the Soul Bone Skill of the 60,000-year-old Thousand-Silk Willow Left Arm Bone—Endless Life—Dugu Bo's hidden injuries have been completely healed, and his cultivation speed has increased significantly; he is now at level 79.

"Haha, old poisoner, we're back to see you. How have you been these past year or two?" Fang Tian asked with a smile, seeing the old poisoner's current appearance.

"Haha, this is great. I've never felt so relaxed. Now I don't need to disguise myself, and hardly anyone recognizes me when I go out."

"To be honest, although it's not as bustling as Tiandou City, it's peaceful and tranquil, without so much trouble. It's very comfortable to live here," Dugu Bo said with a hearty laugh.

"Haha, you old poisoner, looks like you're having such a good time here you don't want to leave. But how's your soul core research going?"

"Sigh, it's the same old story, I still have no clue what to do." Dugu Bo was immediately frustrated when he mentioned this.

"Haha, old poison master, don't worry, you'll figure it out eventually. Let's talk about the two little ones first," Fang Tian comforted him.

"Xiao Fang, you can't call them little guys anymore. They're twelve years old now, and about the same height as us. They're all at the Soul Venerable realm now. Your younger brother, Fang Yi, is at level thirty-five, and my son is at level thirty-six."

"To be honest, their cultivation speed exceeded my expectations. However, after examination, I found that their foundation was solid and their soul power was abundant. There was absolutely no hidden danger of rapid progress or unstable strength." Dugu Bo became excited again when mentioning Fang Yi and Dugu Xin.

"Old Poison Master, don't worry. The herbs I feed them are extremely rare and have no side effects. Their talent is now unparalleled in the world. It's normal for them to progress quickly," Fang Tian said with a smile.

"Since you understand their situation, then I don't need to worry. Xiao Yi and Xiao Xin are about to graduate, what are your plans for them?" Dugu Bo asked.

"They're both over level 30, so they can barely protect themselves. Why don't you take them and join any ordinary advanced soul master academy? Try participating in the continent-wide advanced soul master academy competition, and compete against the best among their peers to find your weaknesses," Fang Tian suggested after thinking for a moment.

"Participate in the Soul Master Competition! Hmm, that's a good method, a great training experience. However, I'm only a minor Soul Saint right now, and I'm afraid I might not be able to fully protect their safety." Dugu Bo thought Fang Tian's suggestion was good, but he was worried about his own abilities.

"The next Soul Master Competition is in three years, and Feng Yan and I will both go to watch it," Fang Tian assured Dugu Bo.

"Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll find a high-level Soul Master academy and I'll go with them to protect them. Don't worry," Dugu Bo assured him, patting his chest.

Six years have passed since the entanglement between Dugu Bo and the two Soul Saints of Haotian Sect. Haotian Sect should have given up searching for Dugu Bo's whereabouts.

Moreover, Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan later wiped out all the personnel sent by the Haotian Sect to investigate.

Although the Haotian Sect claimed to have killed the enemy to save face, they knew the truth perfectly well.

Their attention was mostly focused on Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan; as for Dugu Bo, he was not worth mentioning.

Therefore, it should be safe for Dugu Bo to appear now, especially since Dugu Bo needs to disguise himself.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan chatted with Dugu Bo for a while before taking their leave. They first visited their younger brother at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, and then went home to visit their parents. Afterward, the two embarked on their journey through the Douluo Continent.

The two relaxed and traveled at their own pace, stopping frequently to sample different local delicacies and enjoy the diverse scenery.

The two arrived at a small town that day, intending to rest there for the night.

On their first visit to this small town, Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan strolled around in a relaxed manner.

"Hey! Fang Tian, ​​look over there, there's a little girl crying." The two were strolling down the street when Qiu Fengyan suddenly pointed to a little girl crying softly in a corner and said.

"Maybe he's suffered some injustice," Fang Tian said casually after glancing at him.

Fang Tian noticed that although the little girl's clothes weren't very nice, they were similar to those of ordinary people, indicating that she wasn't a beggar. So, she was probably being bullied.

An adult wouldn't have the nerve to bully a child, so Fang Tian concluded that the little girl must have been bullied by a brat.

"What can I do? Am I supposed to teach a bunch of brats a lesson? I still have some dignity!" Fang Tian thought to himself.

"Let's go and comfort her. Seeing her reminds me of the helplessness and grievance I felt when I first lost my parents," Qiu Fengyan said, her face etched with emotion.

"Alright, let's go comfort her." Fang Tian nodded in agreement when he saw Qiu Fengyan's expression. However, he still habitually activated the identification system to collect information.

Name: Human Child

Age: 10 years old

Martial Soul: Fire Dragon

Realm: Level 19

……

"Holy crap, could this little girl be Liu Erlong?" Fang Tian thought in shock.

"Little sister, why are you crying here? Have you been bullied?" Qiu Fengyan bent down and asked softly.

"No, thank you for your concern, sister." The little girl, who resembled Liu Erlong, looked up and saw a pretty older sister gazing at her gently, and immediately shook her head.

"Then why are you crying? Where are your parents?" Qiu Fengyan continued to press.

"My parents are coming to pick me up soon," the little girl said casually, glancing suspiciously at Qiu Fengyan and Fang Tian.

"I don't believe you for a second! If you really are Liu Erlong, then your father abandoned you and your mother, and your mother should be dead by now," Fang Tian thought to himself.

"So wary at such a young age, you must have suffered a lot! But don't worry, we're not bad people. We just saw you crying alone in the corner, so we came to ask what was wrong." Qiu Fengyan praised the little girl and then explained carefully.
