Douro Continent

Chapter 258 The Pure and Immaculate Young Master Tang (Part 2)

Ma Hongjun was golden-red, Ning Rongrong was brilliant gold, and the master emitted a pale purple light. The entire wooden house was filled with colorful light, making it look extremely strange.

After being nourished by the divine herbs, the Shrek Seven Devils have all experienced some changes in their strength.

Evil-eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai, level 40.

Sausage Specialist Oscar, Level 38.

Tang Xiaosan, the Thousand-Handed Asura, is level 37.

Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix of Evil Fire, level 36.

The Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit Xiao Wu, Level 35.

Ning Rongrong, of the Seven Treasures Glazed Glass, is at level thirty-seven.

The Netherworld Cat Zhu Zhuqing, Level 38.

The Shrek Seven Devils, who had just entered the level 30 stage, suddenly leaped to the level 40 stage. The process was so short that no one expected it.

"Little mistress." Everyone was cultivating normally when Flander's voice suddenly came from outside the wooden house.

Tang San slowly opened his eyes and quietly walked out of the wooden house.

"Dean Flander, you wanted to see me?" Tang San asked.

Flander nodded and said, "Senior Dugu brought Dugu Yan here and asked me to call you over. It seems there's something he needs to discuss. Little San, you need to be careful; Dugu Bo is far too dangerous."

Tang San naturally understood why Dugu Bo wanted to see him. He smiled slightly and said, "Dean Flander, don't worry. Nothing will happen."

Flander led Tang San out of the forest and into the main teaching area.

Since arriving at the academy, Tang San has not yet had a chance to observe the place closely.

Although the main campus is not as magnificent as the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, it is still very practical. At this moment, there are many students exchanging ideas on the playground.

The two entered the main teaching building and walked all the way to the innermost part of the top floor before Tang San met Dugu Bo.

This place was requested by Dugu Bo himself. He has always preferred tranquility, and this place perfectly meets his needs. When he opens the window, he can see a large forest behind the building, and he can breathe fresh air every day. Dugu Bo really likes this feeling.

To make the old monster more comfortable, Flander reluctantly spent a fortune to renovate the place after Dugu Bo arrived. Now, it truly has a magnificent and opulent feel to it.

Inside the room, Dugu Bo was sitting in a large chair, gently swaying his body. Only when Tang San entered did he open his eyes, looking at Tang San with a smile in them. On the large bed beside him, Dugu Yan was leaning against the headboard, looking bored.

"Little monster, you've arrived." Dugu Bo greeted Tang San first. At the same time, he waved to Flander, indicating that he could leave.

Flander was indeed somewhat afraid of Dugu Bo. He patted Tang San on the shoulder, signaling him to be careful, before saying goodbye to Dugu Bo and leaving.

With Flander gone, Tang San naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against Dugu Bo, and went straight to sit down on the sofa.

From the moment Tang San entered the room, Dugu Yan's fierce gaze was fixed on him, but Tang San pretended not to see her and treated her as if she were invisible.

"Grandpa, why did you call this little rascal here? You still haven't told me why he came to this lousy academy to be an advisor. Even if he wanted to be an advisor, he should be at our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy!" Dugu Yan said to Dugu Bo in a slightly coquettish tone.

Dugu Bo said, "Alright, Yanyan, stop calling him 'little rascal' from now on. Tang San may be a bit strange, but there are many things you can learn from him. Look at you, you're already twenty-one years old, yet you still act like a child. He's not even fourteen yet, but his mentality is much more mature than yours."

Tang San thought to himself, "What do you mean fourteen years old? I'm forty years old in my two lifetimes combined. How could I be as naive as your granddaughter?"

Dugu Yan was surprised that Dugu Bo would praise Tang San so highly. She snorted, "What's so great about him? I was careless last time. If it happens again, I'll beat him to a pulp."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "I think you have a chance to realize this wish. In six months, it will be the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. We are both in the Heaven Dou City region, so I think we will meet again soon."

Dugu Yan snorted disdainfully, "If we hadn't been careless last time, you would have definitely lost. We'll settle the score for your sneak attack on Tianheng sooner or later."

Dugu Yan didn't know Tang San's true strength, but Dugu Bo knew it all too well. Recalling the terrifying Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Darts, Dugu Bo couldn't help but shudder. He didn't believe the little monster only had four. He glared at Tang San and said, "Little monster, I don't care about others, but you absolutely can't hurt my granddaughter. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you."

Dugu Yan said discontentedly, "Grandpa, what are you saying? How could he possibly hurt me again? Aren't you just boosting the enemy's morale while diminishing your own?"

Dugu Bo said, "I don't know about others, but if you underestimate this little monster, I can guarantee you will suffer a great loss in your battle against him. Do you know what level his soul power is now? It should be about the same as yours, level thirty-seven. If given half a year, this little monster might be able to break through the level forty bottleneck. You are a control-type soul master like him, but I can assure you that you are no match for him."

Hearing Dugu Bo repeatedly defend Tang San, Dugu Yan's emotions suddenly changed. She jumped off the bed, glaring at Tang San with a wronged expression, "You little rascal, what kind of spell did you cast on my grandfather? He's so siding with you. Grandpa, you didn't actually take this little rascal as your disciple, did you?"

Dugu Bo blushed. The two had only discussed and learned from each other about the use of poison. Tang San felt that he had learned a lot from Dugu Bo, but Dugu Bo also felt that he had gained a great advantage. For a moment, he did not know how to answer his granddaughter's question.

Tang San also stood up from the sofa. "I still need to cultivate; I don't have time to waste on this nonsense. We'll see how strong we are on the arena later. Old monster, this is the medicine I've prepared. Have her take it once a day at midnight. Do this for seven consecutive days, and then you can infuse the toxins into her body. However, you'll need to find her a soul bone first. With your abilities, that shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Dugu Bo accepted the seven crystal bottles from Tang San, nodded to him, and said, "Little monster, all good things must come to an end. My wish has been fulfilled, and I cannot stay here forever."

"You're leaving?" Tang San looked at him in surprise.

Dugu Bo nodded. "I have some things to take care of. If I get back quickly, I might still make it in time for your Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. Don't forget, you're not allowed to hurt Yan Yan."

Tang San glanced at Dugu Yan, who stood beside him with a menacing expression, and said indifferently, "For your sake, I won't do anything to her. However, you'd better remind her not to provoke me. I'm leaving." After saying this, he turned and walked towards the door. Dugu Yan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dugu Bo's sharp gaze.

Tang San stopped abruptly at the door and turned to look at Dugu Bo. The eyes of the old man and the young man met in the air. Although Tang San tried his best to hide it, Dugu Bo could still see a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

"Old monster, take care on your journey. Don't forget those two iron-willed ones."

"Take care too." Dugu Bo lowered his head and waved to Tang San. For some reason, he felt a bit of sand in his eyes. The feeling Tang San gave him was something even Dugu Yan had never given him.

Even after leaving the main teaching building, Tang San's mood had not recovered. Although he had been cultivating for the past few days, he had found it difficult to concentrate, and the knot in his heart that had been troubling him had not yet been untied.

This predicament arose so suddenly that he couldn't even share it with anyone. He truly regretted taking that one glance. So much so that now, with the old monster about to leave, he had no heart to think about it further.

Dugu Bo left quietly, without telling anyone else, and disappeared the next day.

Flander wasn't surprised by Dugu Bo's departure. After all, Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo; who could possibly restrict his freedom? Dugu Bo's departure actually put Flander at ease, at least the academy was one less ticking time bomb.

A few days later, the Shrek Seven Devils completed their temporary seclusion. Flander and Liu Erlong personally accompanied Grandmaster and Dai Mubai to Sunset Forest, the closest forest to their home and also Dugu Bo's old lair, to hunt spirit beasts. Ning Rongrong took leave and went home. The remaining five were temporarily enrolled in the academy's advanced class.

Ning Rongrong had wanted to go home for a long time, but because Tang San was missing, he naturally couldn't help her refine hidden weapons. This time, with Tang San's return, her strength had also increased significantly. With a bit of pride, she returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with the mechanical hidden weapons that Tang San had given her.

Looking at his school uniform, Tang San couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He wondered if Flander was playing a prank on him. After taking over the academy, he changed the school uniforms to green, and it was the kind of green that was a bit yellowish, the legendary "poop green".

Not only did Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu frown deeply, but even Tang San found it somewhat amusing.
