Chapter 62 Dugu Bo's Test

Tang Nian looked at Dugu Bo with puzzlement in her eyes; she couldn't quite guess what he meant by those words.

Dugu Bo's expression quickly turned serious, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "This martial soul is quite special. However, I have a nemesis whose martial soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Your martial souls are quite similar."

Tang Nian understood the deeper meaning in Dugu Bo's words. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of unease welled up in her heart.

She knew that there was a relationship of mutual restraint between martial souls. If her martial soul was similar to Dugu Bo's nemesis, it might bring some unexpected trouble.

"What's wrong with the other shore flower?" Tang Nian couldn't help but ask. She wanted to figure out what Dugu Bo meant by "similar in effect but different in form." Did it mean that her plant-type martial soul could restrain his martial soul, or was it just that the person who possessed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was his nemesis?

If it's the former, she's in danger. When a Soul Master tells someone how to control their own Martial Soul, they will definitely try to kill that person.

But what about the Qirong Tongtianju?

For some inexplicable reason, Tang Nian felt that the name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

Having lived for so many years, Dugu Bo still possesses the ability to see through people's hearts. "You little girl have quite a few ideas. Your martial spirits cannot restrain my poison. The feud between me and that nemesis is between the two of us and has nothing to do with martial spirits."

Tang Nian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Is the Soul Master you mentioned who possesses the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum an elder of the Spirit Hall?" Tang Nian finally remembered who had mentioned this Spirit. The Soul Master had mentioned it when the Spirit awakened.

Dugu Bo looked Tang Nian up and down. "What, you've heard of her?" His gaze towards Tang Nian held a hint of malice.

A young girl like that would never easily appear at such a large-scale auction, but if she had the Spirit Hall as her backing, then it might be possible.

After all, the Spirit Hall holds a pivotal position throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

Tang Nian's talent is extraordinary. If she is destined to become an enemy in the future, then we must eliminate her before she grows up.

Tang Nian nodded and said, "Because when I awakened my martial soul, the soul master who awakened my martial soul mentioned it."

Dugu Bo looked Tang Nian up and down, then asked suspiciously, "Oh? Is that so?"

Tang Nian nodded quickly and answered affirmatively, "He also said that my martial soul was very special."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and he said, "Hmm, I see."

He paused, then asked, "Since he's taken notice of you, he'll surely extend an offer to let you into the Spirit Hall Academy, right?"

Tang Nian narrowed her eyes slightly. "That's right, they did mention sending me to study at the Spirit Hall Academy back then."

Why didn't you go?

Dugu Bo looked Tang Nian up and down. He knew that the Spirit Hall Academy was backed by the Spirit Hall. Regardless of the teaching staff or anything else, an ordinary spirit master would have no reason to refuse if given the opportunity to join.

I absolutely cannot tell Dugu Bo about my family's feud with the Spirit Hall. "It's too far from my home. I was too young at the time, and my family was worried about me running so far away alone."

Tang Nian was secretly on guard, but she spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Even though Dugu Bo was watching her the whole time, he did not notice anything amiss.

"Your grilled fish is really good," Dugu Bo praised after taking a big bite. "Unlike my granddaughter, who still has trouble even cooking porridge."

Tang Nian smiled but didn't say anything, though in her heart she cursed him to the point of prostration. There was no other reason; it was simply because Dugu Bo could eat so much! In the blink of an eye, he had devoured the remaining few fish!

Perhaps it's because of the grilled fish.

The two spent the rest of the time together quite pleasantly. Dugu Bo kept his eyes closed and cultivated, but for Tang Nian, it was best if he didn't talk to her.

Night fell again, and darkness enveloped the earth.

In the Sunset Forest, a group of three people swiftly traversed the woods, moving forward continuously, weaving through the trees.

After Tang San disappeared without a trace that day, before the three of them could return, news of Tang Nian's disappearance also came. Two students had gone missing in just one day. How could their teachers not be worried?

So the master quickly summoned his martial soul, Luo Sanpao. Although this little thing was not strong, its sense of smell was very sharp.

Moreover, it is one with the master; it remembers everything the master has smelled.

After a brief investigation, the master learned from Luo Sanpao's judgment that Tang San and Tang Nian had been captured by Dugu Bo.

The thought of that old monster covered in poison filled the three of them with a sense of panic.

They knew all too well how formidable Dugu Bo was; if they were to fall into his hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Fortunately, Flander remained calm. He decided to go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to look for clues, since there were three members of the teaching committee there who might be able to provide information about Dugu Bo's whereabouts.

Fortunately, these three members of the Education Committee were all upright and kind people. When they learned that Tang San and Tang Nian had been captured by Dugu Bo, they did not hesitate to inform Grandmaster, Flander, and Liu Erlong of the information they had.

Dugu Bo was a loner. Even though he was employed by the royal family, he was unwilling to live in the bustling Tiandou City. Instead, he chose to live in seclusion on a mountain in the Sunset Forest. As for which mountain it was, the three members of the Education Committee did not know.

However, the three education committee members could only hint at Dugu Bo's whereabouts; they were unwilling to confront Dugu Bo directly, but Flanders and the other two understood this.

Who would want to face a Poison Douluo who possesses terrifyingly potent poison? Even a Title Douluo-level expert would be wary of such a deadly poison, let alone the three instructors who are only Soul Douluo-level experts.

Flander, the master, and Liu Erlong did not continue to argue. Instead, Liu Erlong led the way, heading straight for Sunset Forest.

They had entered the forest at dawn, and now a whole day had passed; the sun was gradually setting and night was beginning to fall.

Although Sunset Forest is not as vast as Star Dou Great Forest, it is still home to many high-level soul beasts, which undoubtedly makes their search extremely difficult.

The three stopped and looked around, trying to find any clues left by Dugu Bo.

Just then, a deep and powerful whistling sound suddenly rang out, like rolling thunder resounding through the night sky, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The sudden howl startled the spirit beasts in the forest, who roared in alarm.
