Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 223 Departure from Xingluo, the Master's Proposal

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you would like to travel with me?"

"What?" Han Feng's gentle voice startled Ning Rongrong, who was momentarily speechless and asked blankly.

Han Feng rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "That's why I said, would you like to travel with me!?"

This time, Ning Rongrong realized what was happening, and her heart skipped a beat. Already reluctant to part, she was now deeply moved, but she quickly remembered her current status as the young sect leader. She smiled apologetically at Han Feng, and said somewhat sadly, "No... Grandpa Gu and the others won't let me leave Tiandou City!"

Han Feng rolled his eyes inwardly upon hearing this.

"No problem! We can just sneak out!" Han Feng shrugged and said enticingly.

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and hope ignited in her heart. She looked at Han Feng expectantly and asked, "Sneak away? How did you sneak out? Because of what happened yesterday, the entire area outside Tiandou City is teeming with members of the royal family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."

Han Feng spread his hands and grinned, "So we're just sneaking out like this, openly and honestly!"

"Sneaking out openly and honestly?" Han Feng's words made Ning Rongrong's delicate eyebrows furrow, her charmingly naive appearance was quite adorable.

However, Ning Rongrong was exceptionally clever, and she grasped the point in no time. Her beautiful eyes lit up, and she excitedly asked, her small mouth slightly open, "You mean...?"

Han Feng chuckled noncommittally and didn't answer, but Ning Rongrong already got the answer from Han Feng's eyes!

"I do!" Without any hesitation, Ning Rongrong grabbed Han Feng's arm and exclaimed sweetly with a radiant smile.

Han Feng affectionately rubbed Ning Rongrong's delicate nose, smiled enigmatically at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and then turned and led Ning Rongrong out of Tian Dou City!

After Han Feng and Ning Rongrong disappeared, Gu Rong slowly emerged from the alternate dimension. Looking in the direction Han Feng and Ning Rongrong had left, he clicked his tongue with a touch of bitterness and sighed sadly, "Alas! Daughters grow up and leave home! The little girl who used to fawn over me has finally been lured away by another man!"

Even so, Gu Rong still had to follow behind them, using his spatial power to block their view from all sides.

Meanwhile, as Han Feng had expected, their departure from the city went very smoothly. Everyone seemed to ignore them, and Han Feng brazenly led the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School out of Tian Dou City!

Han Feng was also aware of this, after all, with the Supreme Defense Isolation Domain, Han Feng's perception of the environment had become extremely sharp!

"Han Feng! Do you think this counts as eloping?!" After finally leaving Tian Dou City, Ning Rongrong let go of Han Feng's arm, turned around, glanced at him, and asked blankly.

Han Feng coughed lightly and quickly said, "Don't make me sound like a poor scholar trying to deceive a rich young lady! This is the decision of Sect Leader Ning and your two grandfathers; I'm just following orders!"

Ning Rongrong pouted in dissatisfaction and said resentfully, "If they didn't have permission, you wouldn't have brought me out, would you?"

In the past, Han Feng would have already nodded, but people change over time, and Han Feng is no longer the same ignorant man he once was!

"Didn't I say I'd take you to explore the entire galaxy?" Han Feng didn't directly answer Ning Rongrong's question, but these words made Ning Rongrong blush with shyness!

Isn't this exactly what Han Feng said when he confessed his feelings that day?

Ning Rongrong thought it was just a joke from Han Feng, but she didn't expect Han Feng to remember it now!

"I've noticed you're getting better and better at making people happy! Have you been corrupted by Old Dai?" Ning Rongrong couldn't hide her joy, but she still gave a coquettish snort and questioned him with a blush.

If Dai Mubai were here, he would definitely shout that he was wronged, right?

Honestly, when has Han Feng ever remembered anything I, Lao Bai, taught him?!

But Han Feng didn't hesitate to shift the blame to Dai Mubai, saying directly, "If you don't like hearing this, then I won't say anything! Old Bai is really unreliable!"

"No!" Ning Rongrong panicked instantly, all traces of her former spoiled nature vanishing. She grabbed Han Feng's hand and said coyly, "I'd love to hear it if you only said it to me!"

"Haha!" Han Feng laughed loudly, took a deep breath of Ning Rongrong's breath, and then let her go.

Ning Rongrong was dizzy and infatuated by the kiss, looking at Han Feng with deep affection. She collapsed into Han Feng's arms, and Han Feng had no choice but to pick her up.

After a while, Ning Rongrong finally recovered, but she still lingered in Han Feng's arms, only whispering lazily in his ear, "Han Feng, where are we going?"

"The Star Luo Empire!" Han Feng said without hesitation, as if he had already thought it through.

Ning Rongrong blinked and asked excitedly, "Are we going to find Boss Dai and Zhu Qing?"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng smiled enigmatically and said, "I suppose so!"

Han Feng originally planned to go directly to the far north, first using the secret technique taught by the God of Defense to break through his blood and qi power to the Soul King realm, and then begin to think about sealing his soul power and crossing the far north. But now that he has brought Ning Rongrong with him, Han Feng is naturally unwilling to let Ning Rongrong suffer in the far north with him, so Han Feng changed his plan.

Han Feng planned to go to the Star Luo Empire to gain some experience first.

Anyway, Han Feng has a secret body-refining technique, so it doesn't matter where he cultivates his qi and blood power!

The purpose of this trip to Xingluo is twofold: first, to gain experience and catch up with Dai Mubai; and second, to wait for the Heaven Dou City to find out the Title Douluo who attacked Dugu Bo!

Judging from Gu Rong's words, as long as the Title Douluo hiding in Tian Dou City is found, Ning Rongrong will definitely be brought back!

Of course, Han Feng can only stay in the Star Luo Empire for a maximum of 150 days. After all, Han Feng is burdened with the Divine Trial, and the content of the 162-day Divine Trial leaves Han Feng with no more time to wait for Gu Rong and the others. For the remaining 50 days, Han Feng still needs to travel back and forth between the far north and the active volcano!

If there is still no harvest in Tiandou City after 150 days, Han Feng will have no choice but to ask Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to take care of Ning Rongrong for the time being!

But before that, Han Feng will help Dai Mubai solve Davis's problem!

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, the only places that Han Feng can feel at ease with are Shrek Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Star Luo, where Dai Mubai is the crown prince!

Just as Han Feng and Ning Rongrong set off for the Star Luo Empire, Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Grandmaster, disguised as Xue Qinghe, were gathered in the most secluded chamber of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. In front of them lay the unconscious Dugu Bo.

At this moment, Dugu Bo looked like a corpse, his face was ashen and his breath was weak. As a titled Douluo, his soul power fluctuations were extremely thin, and he was completely unlike his usual spirited self!

Sword Douluo spoke slowly, "I am powerless to help Dugu Bo! His external injuries have long since healed, but his problem lies in his soul power. The poison-attribute soul power within him has been scattered and is currently running rampant. Let alone recovery, it will be impossible for Dugu Bo to wake up in less than a year or two!"

"Senior Dugu is a Poison Douluo, yet someone was able to disperse the deadly poisonous soul power within him!?" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in amazement upon hearing Sword Douluo's words.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin had already told him that the person who attacked Dugu Bo could not have a cultivation level higher than level 94. It was unbelievable that someone who was not even a peerless Douluo could shatter Dugu Bo's soul power with a single blow!

"Sect Master! The world is vast and full of wonders. Perhaps the person who attacked Dugu Bo had a martial soul attribute that perfectly countered Dugu Bo's Azure Scale Serpent Emperor, or perhaps that person just happened to find Dugu Bo's weakness!" Gu Rong whispered to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. He understood the reasoning, but there were so many martial souls on the continent that could restrain snakes. Finding Dugu Bo's weakness was not a special feature. Even if Ning Fengzhi had access to most of the continent's intelligence network, he would still have no way to find him!

"Teacher, is there really no other way?" Qian Renxue asked Ning Fengzhi, feigning urgency.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head at Qian Renxue, indicating that he truly could not help her.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue sighed softly, but in reality, she was relieved—it would be good if she remained unconscious for a year or two!

A year and a half later, the snowy nights would have long since turned cold, and the Heaven Dou Empire would probably have fallen under the control of the Spirit Hall. At that time, even if Dugu Bo woke up, he would be nothing more than a weak ant in front of the massive Spirit Hall, and could be destroyed with a flick of his hand!

Dugu Bo is arguably the only flaw in Qian Renxue's plan, and Qian Renxue has no desire to see Dugu Bo wake up!

"Master, do you have a solution?" Qian Renxue asked the master symbolically.

The reason the master is standing here is entirely due to his vast knowledge. Ning Fengzhi called him here only as a last resort – to put it bluntly, he was just brought in to make up the numbers. When Sword Douluo said he was powerless, even Ning Fengzhi didn't think the master could do anything!

But to everyone's surprise, the master pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I do have someone who might be able to awaken Poison Douluo!"

"Oh?" Qian Renxue's heart sank, but she feigned surprise and asked eagerly, "Who is it?"

"My disciple, Tang San!" Grandmaster said resolutely, "It was Tang San who cured the hidden ailment in Poison Douluo's soul power. Tang San is quite knowledgeable in medicine and toxicology; perhaps he can offer some solutions!"

Even the master dared not speak too definitively, after all, even Gu Rong and Chen Xin were helpless!

"Tang San!?" Upon hearing this name, Qian Renxue instantly thought of Tang Hao, and her hand, hidden in her long sleeve, involuntarily tightened!
