Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 56 Dugu Bo

Yu Tianheng watched Ning Rongrong leave and sneered, "You little brat, you dare to argue with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianheng's gaze fell on the two people in the hall.

"Yanzi, I've learned pretty much everything about your body and martial spirit. Your situation is quite complicated, and I only have a general idea of ​​what's going on. If there's a chance, may I visit your grandfather?"

Seeing that he was almost ready and the timing was right, Shi Quan took the initiative to suggest meeting with Dugu Bo.

Rather than waiting passively, it's better to take the initiative. Instead of waiting for Dugu Bo to come to us, we should strike first and show goodwill.

As the saying goes, opportunity favors the prepared mind.

Dugu Yan said, "My grandfather has a bad temper. If you say something wrong, he won't be as easy to deal with as Sword Douluo."

Shi Quan smiled and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. I don't think your grandfather will make things difficult for me. If there are no problems, all the better. But if he discovers anything, maybe I can help, right?"

Dugu Yan calculated the time and said, "Alright, my grandfather is not in Tiandou City for a while. He should be back in a few days. You can come with me then."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that Dugu Bo wasn't here? You made me so worried," Shi Quan thought to himself, but smiled and replied, "No problem. You go ahead and do your work, I'm going back to cultivate."

Farewell to the Lone Goose.

Everything has returned to normal. You can continue your cultivation, your studies, and your research as usual.

Nothing else has changed, but Ning Rongrong always likes to hang out with Shi Quan whenever she has free time, just like a little follower.

Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, another week had gone by.

"Xiao Quan, my grandfather should be back soon. I'm planning to take the afternoon off to go see him. Do you want to come along?" After the morning training session, Dugu Yan turned to look at Shi Quan, who was not far away.

"Yanyan, are you taking Xiaoquan to see your grandfather?" Yu Tianheng immediately stuck his head over when he heard this.

"Xiao Quan has some personal business to attend to and wants to visit my grandfather. What? You want to go too?" Dugu Yan pouted, revealing a playful smile.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng shrank back, "Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Dugu Yan glared at Yu Tianheng. "Hmph, in a hurry? What's the rush? Aren't we just teammates?"

"I..." Yu Tianheng wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, his face turning red with frustration.

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Dugu Yan asked loudly, looking at her with a disappointed expression, "Is it so hard to say you like me?"

"No, no, no," Yu Tianheng quickly waved his hand.

"Then hurry up and tell me!" Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng speechlessly.

"I like you," Yu Tianheng said hastily, finally realizing what was happening.

"Okay, I understand. From now on, you're my boyfriend." Dugu Yan waved her hand, finalizing the matter. After waving at Yu Tianheng, she looked at Shi Quan and said, "Alright, get out of here. Quan, are you coming or not?"

"Let's go, why aren't we going!" Shi Quan strode forward and followed Dugu Yan out of the academy.

"Hahaha, our Sister Yanzi is still the most domineering." Yu Feng laughed heartily, then looked at Yu Tianheng and said, "Boss, where did your usual domineering and aloofness go? Why do you become so subdued in front of our Sister Yanzi?"

Upon hearing Yu Feng's words, even the usually stern Shi brothers couldn't help but smile.

"I think you just want to practice with me." Yu Tianheng's eyes flashed with lightning, but he couldn't suppress a smile.

"No, no, no, boss, I was just joking." Yu Feng immediately admitted defeat upon hearing this.

Ning Rongrong watched Dugu Yan's departing figure with sparkling eyes, muttering to herself, "It can be like this?"

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Ning Rongrong quickly slapped her cheeks, muttering, "What am I thinking?!"

……

Half an hour later.

Shi Quan followed Dugu Yan to a mansion in Tiandou City.

Push open the door.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Dugu Yan called out with cheerful steps towards the house.

"Our lovely Yanyan has come to visit Grandpa?"

A powerful voice came from inside the house, followed by a figure walking out. The figure was tall and thin, looking like a javelin, with dark green beard and hair, and eyes that shone like emeralds. It was none other than Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!

Upon seeing Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan immediately ran over happily and threw herself into his arms.

"Yanyan brought friends too?" Dugu Bo's dark green gaze fell on Shi's entire body, and the feeling of being seen through came over him again.

"Junior Shi Quan greets Senior. I apologize for my sudden visit today," Shi Quan said respectfully.

"Not that little guy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant family?" Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan with some surprise, then looked down at Dugu Yan.

"Grandpa, what are you saying?" Dugu Yan lowered her head shyly and pointed at Shi Quan, introducing him: "He is a new student at the academy. He joined the Heaven Dou Team this month. He is not only a very powerful control-type Soul Master, but also a very powerful master of Martial Soul theory."

They had been training together for some time. Although Shi Quan's level was not as high as hers, Dugu Yan still highly recognized Shi Quan's strength. After all, Shi Quan was someone even Sword Douluo acknowledged. As for the theory of martial souls, they all had a deep understanding of the various training methods proposed by Shi Quan.

"Oh?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, glanced at Shi Quan, then looked down at Dugu Yan in his arms and asked kindly, "How powerful are they?"

Dugu Bo knew Dugu Yan's personality well enough. For his proud granddaughter to praise him like this, he must have some skills. However, he was puzzled as to why Dugu Yan would praise Shi Quan, who was only level 22, so much.

"Grandpa, you know Sword Douluo, right?" Dugu Yan asked with a smile.

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "How could my grandfather not know that old man Chen Xin?"

"Grandpa, let me tell you, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... " Dugu Yan then launched into a long explanation, recounting the entire story of Shi Quan's sparring match with Sword Douluo, and repeating Sword Douluo's words.

"You actually got that old bastard Chen Xin to consider taking him as a disciple?" Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan in surprise.

Shi Quan then smiled and said, "This was just a joke from Senior Sword Douluo; you don't need to take it seriously."

"A joke?" Dugu Bo was amused by Shi Quan's words. "On this continent, I've never heard that old fellow Chen Xin say such a joke to anyone."

"To gain Chen Xin's approval, your strength certainly lives up to Yan Yan's praise. But what makes you a master of martial spirit theory?" Dugu Bo asked this time, his gaze fixed on Shi Quan.

"This junior is not very talented, but I have only temporarily developed a new theory on the limits of spirit rings." As he spoke, a light blue light emanated from Shi Quan's hand, and the Blue Silver Grass appeared in his hand, along with two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple.

"The second spirit ring is actually a thousand-year spirit ring?" Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing this, and he asked curiously, "Tell me your new theory on limit spirit rings."

"This new theory of limit spirit rings..." Shi Quan immediately began to speak eloquently.

"Kid, I must say, you have a lot of courage." After listening to Shi Quan's explanation, Dugu Bo couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes. As a Soul Master, everyone knew the consequences of absorbing a Soul Ring beyond one's level. Shi Quan actually dared to risk his life. In a situation where everyone thought he would die, he really forged a new path.

Dugu Bo put Dugu Yan down and looked directly at Shi Quan, saying, "Speak, what brings you here today?"

"Senior, I've come to visit you today specifically because of Sister Yanzi. This is some research I've done on her martial spirit over the past few days. I'd like to have a private discussion with you, and perhaps I can be of some help." With that, Shi Quan took out a stack of documents from his snow jade bracelet and handed them to Dugu Bo.

"About Yan Yan?" Dugu Bo took the documents from Shi Quan with a puzzled look and began to look through them page by page.

The first part of the document concerned Dugu Yan's future development and learning direction. Dugu Bo nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this. However, upon seeing the following content, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand holding the document clenched tightly.

Especially after seeing the words "originating from the Martial Soul, passed down from the ancestors?" in the information, Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly. Although there was a question mark after the sentence, the fact that Shi Quan could make such a deduction from Dugu Yan's body and Martial Soul was enough to show his expertise in Martial Souls. Although that's what the information said, Shi Quan might have already confirmed that Dugu Yan was poisoned.

With this in mind.

A cold, unfathomable light, like that of a venomous snake, flickered in Dugu Bo's gaze as he looked at Shi Quan.

"You wrote all of this yourself? You didn't tell anyone else?" Dugu Bo asked.

Shi Quan replied, "Senior, so far only you have seen these contents. I myself am not certain, so how could I dare to spread misinformation?"

"Grandpa, what did Xiao Quan show you?" Dugu Yan curiously tiptoed and leaned closer to see the documents in Dugu Bo's hand.

Dugu Bo smiled gently, put the documents behind his back, and said kindly, "It's nothing, just some information about the development direction of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. He wants to learn about the Azure Serpent Martial Soul from me to help you with your future studies and development. Since he's so sincere in wanting to help you, Grandpa will teach him. Aren't you not interested in these things? Go play by yourself for a while, and Grandpa will talk to him alone."

"Really?" Dugu Yan looked at the two of them with suspicion.

"Really, go ahead, go ahead." Dugu Bo affectionately patted Dugu Yan's head.

Dugu Yan wasn't stupid. How could she not see through Dugu Bo's despicable excuse? Originally, she didn't believe there was something wrong with her body, but judging from Dugu Bo's current appearance, she was certain that Dugu Bo was hiding something from her...
