The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 49 Dugu Bo

In order to ensure the age limit of the third spirit ring and to keep Master Xia's talent a secret, the Dream God Machine Education Committee decided to personally go to Dragon Valley within the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to capture a bone dragon with five thousand years of cultivation, and then go to a secret place in the academy before allowing him to absorb the spirit ring.

Xia Liang was naturally willing to do so. He never even imagined that the academy would go to such lengths to hide his extraordinary talent.

"Since the decision has been made, there's no time to lose. I'll set off for Dragon Valley to find the soul beasts shortly."

As she spoke, Meng Shenji, the education commissioner, stood up, looked at Xia Liang, and said, "Master Xia, please be patient and wait for me to return these next few days. Okay?"

"Okay, thank you for your help." After replying, Xia Liang realized that he could no longer do whale glue business with the Shui family in Tianshui City.

Otherwise, if it's discovered, sooner or later people will associate it with the fact that he can absorb high-level spirit rings, all thanks to the whale glue.

"Everything has been settled, can we adjourn the meeting now, Your Highness?" Prince Xuexing asked somewhat anxiously.

Xue Qinghe nodded. "Uncle, if you have urgent business, you are welcome to leave. Everyone else as well. There's no need to be so formal. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll stay."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing left first, followed by the three education committee members and Qin Ming.

Xia Liang was the last to leave. Just as he was about to close the office door, Xue Qinghe suddenly looked over and said, "Master Xia, you can come to the palace sometime. Your cooking is very special; I really enjoy it."

"Okay. I'll make you some noodles when I have time." With that, Xia Liang closed the door and left.

He certainly wouldn't refuse this opportunity to befriend Xue Qinghe. With Xue Qinghe backing him up in the future, he could get by in both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall.

The meeting didn't end until noon.

Ring ring ring.

The school bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

The students emerged from the simulated field, training grounds, and classrooms, all heading towards the academy's canteen.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, along with the other seven members of the Royal Fighting Team, walked together.

Seeing the longing for the cafeteria on Dugu Yan's face, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but ask, "Yan Yan, I heard that you and Chef Xia were very intimate at the cafeteria entrance a few days ago, and it seems like you've already kissed. Is that true?"

Not only Dugu Yan, but even Ye Lingling, who was walking with her, was slightly taken aback. Only Oslo and Yu Feng listened intently, eagerly awaiting Dugu Yan's answer.

"Who told you that?" Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng with a strange expression.

Before Yu Tianheng could speak, Oslo replied, "This has already spread throughout our boys' dormitory. Yanzi, you wouldn't really..."

"You're overthinking it. There's nothing between me and Master Xia. I don't even know his full name, how could I be intimate with him? Besides, who said we kissed?" Dugu Yan glared fiercely at Oslo.

Oslo waved his hand. "I don't know. I just heard it secondhand."

Just as the seven were gossiping, a deep voice suddenly rang out, "Yan Yan."

Including Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng and Auslo also looked in the direction of the sound and found an old man with dark green hair walking slowly over with his hands behind his back.

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan exclaimed and ran straight into the arms of the dark green-haired old man.

Just then, Xia Liang and Prince Xue Xing, who had just finished their meeting, walked out of the Dean's building.

Seeing an elderly man with dark green hair reach out and embrace Dugu Yan, Xia Liang immediately realized that the elderly man with dark green hair was probably Dugu Yan's grandfather, Dugu Bo.

No wonder I felt a strange pressure as soon as I came out.

Halfway there, Xia Liang stopped, intending to take a detour. But his sudden action immediately caught Dugu Bo's attention.

"Mr. Dugu, I am very sorry for the delay. I'm sorry to have troubled you to accompany me on this trip." Prince Xuexing suddenly said respectfully to Dugu Bo.

"Let's talk about our business later." With that, Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and walked towards Xia Liang.

Gradually, a sense of pressure arose.

As Xia Liang watched Dugu Bo approach step by step, he felt insignificant once again. The last time he felt this way was when he encountered Titan Snow Demon King in the far north.

Dugu Bo stopped five meters away from Xia Liang, without saying a word, but simply put his hands behind his back and stared at him coldly.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Poisonous One." Xia Liang made a difficult cupping gesture. He felt like he couldn't breathe; the pressure was immense, clearly intentionally exerted on him by Dugu Bo.

It's estimated that Dugu Bo learned about his two victories over Dugu Yan in battles where he was at a higher level, so he wanted to give him a hard time on behalf of his granddaughter.

"Boy, I've heard your martial spirit defense is very strong. So strong that it can ignore the venom of my clan's Azure Phosphorus Serpent, is that right?" Dugu Bo's voice carried a hint of threat.

Xia Liang looked back at Dugu Bo's gaze with a grim expression, and shook his head with difficulty, "How dare I?"

"But how come I heard that you questioned whether my granddaughter's Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom was rubbish?" Dugu Bo's voice was even more pressured this time.

Xia Liang did not reply, his fists clenched tightly. At this moment, he was under the mental pressure of a Title Douluo, and his ability to remain calm and respond with a few words under such circumstances was already a testament to his excellent mental fortitude.

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan's stern shout relieved the mental pressure on Dugu Bo.

Instantly, Xia Liangcai felt a sense of relief. He didn't feel wronged, because facing pressure from Dugu Bo was an unavoidable part of the plan to obtain the immortal herb.

"The method of fusion and external poison mixing that you told Yan Yan about is quite good. Since you can withstand my mental pressure, it's no wonder Yan Yan lost to you. That Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch is yours."

After saying this, Dugu Bo turned and left. As he passed by Prince Xuexing, the prince followed respectfully behind him.

Therefore, it is clear that Dugu Bo's visit to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was not to see Dugu Yan, but rather because he received an invitation from Prince Xue Xing.

"Yanyan, Grandpa is going on a long trip and probably won't be back for a while. If you want to improve your strength, don't neglect your cultivation."

After giving his instructions, Dugu Bo asked, "You should have remembered everything Grandpa taught you, right?"

"I'll remember. Grandpa, be careful when you go out," Dugu Yan said worriedly.

Dugu Bo nodded, and then left with Prince Xuexing.

Xia Liang's tense nerves only relaxed slightly after Dugu Bo's figure completely disappeared from his sight. It was thanks to his tense nerves that he was able to concentrate his hearing and clearly hear the conversation between Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo is going on a long trip and won't be back for a while.

During this time, you can go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to eat immortal herbs and soak in hot springs.

Xia Liang touched the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch hidden in his clothes, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. He would take the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass to improve his aptitude, and once he had the strength of a peerless Douluo, he would also exert mental pressure on Dugu Bo, and then ask Dugu Bo if the Jade Phosphorous Snake Venom was trash.
