Douluo: The Op-Op Fruit, skilled at researching them

Chapter 69: Apology

Hearing the contrasting voices of Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, Dugu Bo knew that his hope of obtaining the "Ruyi Treasure Pouch" was basically completely dashed.

However, he couldn't attack Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, but he could vent his anger on Luo.

"Boy, it's all your fault for competing with me here, causing me to miss out on this storage soul tool!"

Dugu Bo's sinister words rang in Luo's ears, and then a jade serpent formed from soul power appeared in front of Luo, its snout snapping at his neck.

Upon seeing this, Luo's pupils shrank instantly. Just as he was about to teleport away, another sword cry rang out.

Dozens of tiny sword energies flashed by, and the jade serpent was cleaved into fragments of soul power, which scattered on the ground, emitting a purplish-green poisonous gas.

Upon seeing this, Luo dared not hesitate and hurriedly summoned the "ROOM" space to gather the out-of-control emerald green poisonous gas together, forming a small dark green sphere.

At this moment, Dugu Bo's exasperated voice rang out again, this time with a hint of annoyance.

"Chen Xin! Do you really intend to oppose me to the very end?"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was not to be outdone and retorted forcefully. With his cultivation as a level 96 Title Douluo, he had no reason to fear Dugu Bo, the "weakest" Title Douluo gatekeeper.

"Old Poisoner, I just can't stand your shameless behavior, attacking a junior without regard for the dignity of a Title Douluo! I, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, will protect this child!"

"If you've got the guts, how about we go out and have a match? I'll suppress my soul power level to be the same as yours, unlike you who tries to intimidate others with your soul power level. What do you say? Dare to accept the challenge?"

As the saying goes, "Even a clay figure has three parts fire," and with Dugu Bo's extremely ruthless and domineering personality, being so looked down upon by Sword Douluo Chen Xin, he couldn't help but feel resentful and immediately retorted:

"Come on then! Don't think I'm afraid of you, Chenxin. How about we have a battle in heaven?"

"I couldn't ask for more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two sharp whooshing sounds rang out, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo were clearly flying into the sky together.

Just as Xue Ke was stunned by Dugu Bo's attack, a kind voice rang out at the door of the private room.

"Young Brother Luo, and Princess Xue Ke, you have been frightened."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ke immediately snapped out of her daze and hurriedly went forward to open the door to the private room, welcoming the owner of the voice inside.

It was none other than Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Uncle Jian and Senior Dugu just threw a little tantrum. I hope it didn't scare you."

Ning Fengzhi walked into the private room carrying a blue leather pouch, shaped like a sachet, about the size of two adult palms, which could be hung at the waist.

When Luo and Xueke saw Ning Fengzhi enter, they quickly stepped forward to greet him. It was clear that Sword Fighter Luo Chenxin had helped them earlier, thus preventing Luo from being poisoned by Dugu Bo.

Although Luo believed he was capable of protecting himself from that old poisoner, the fact that Sword Douluo Chen Xin intervened to protect him saved him the trouble of doing so himself.

Of course, what Luo didn't expect was—

That Dugu Bo was truly shameless, brazenly seizing and plundering at the auction, showing absolutely no dignity befitting a Title Douluo powerhouse.

It's just a storage soul tool, isn't it?

With your renowned reputation as the Poison Douluo, you can't compete with a child, so you start to openly rob him, and even think about killing him to silence him, right?

I, Xiao Luo, have already written this grudge down in my little mental notebook!

Sooner or later, he will get his revenge on Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, you two, grandfather and granddaughter!

Afterwards, Luo also said some nice words to Ning Fengzhi, expressing his gratitude to him and Sword Douluo Chenxin.

In any case, this time they did help him out, which can be considered to offset his previous mistakes.

Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's voice came from the doorway of the private room.

"That old poisoner and I exchanged less than one blow before I slashed him in the back with the Seven Kill Sword Qi, and he escaped before I could finish the fight."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Sword Douluo Chen Xin with his hands behind his back, wearing a spotless white robe, showing no signs of having fought with Dugu Bo.

"Young Luo, I apologize to you first. I saw that you were so young, yet you not only advanced to the level 27 Great Soul Master, but you also cultivated a burgeoning sword intent."

"That's why I couldn't resist the urge to test the limits of your sword intent, but I never expected that you would possess an external soul bone. My actions have backfired, forcing your external soul bone to come out."

"This was truly an unintentional act on my part, not a deliberate one. That's why I just had Feng Zhi purchase that 'Ruyi Treasure Pouch' and that whale glue set, intending to give them to you, young Luo, as a token of my apology."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward with a smile, extended the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch" he was holding to Luo, and said softly:

"I'm really sorry, Uncle Jian's previous behavior towards you was entirely out of joy for you, without the slightest bit of malice."

The latest novel is first published here!

"After what happened, Uncle Jian felt terrible and ashamed of himself."

"Take this 'Auspicious Treasure Pouch,' and all the whale glue inside. Otherwise, Uncle Jian will definitely be restless and unable to eat or sleep."

Luo received five or six million gold soul coins as compensation without feeling embarrassed at all. He reached out and took the "Ruyi Treasure Pouch" and hung it on his waist.

He didn't tactlessly ask Ning Fengzhi how he knew he needed whale glue.

Without a doubt, it was only after meeting Luo that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's powerful intelligence system came into play, and Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chenxin learned that Luo was actually a "doctor" who was researching a new type of ecstasy using whale glue as raw material.

After Luo examined the whale glue in the "Ruyi Treasure Pouch," Sword Douluo Chen Xin calmly and leisurely said:

"Young Luo, do you know what the realm of swordsmanship or saber-wielding is after a swordsman or saber-wielder cultivates 'sword energy'?"

This question indeed touched on Luo's blind spot. He had never undergone systematic swordsmanship training. The reason he was able to cultivate "sword energy" was entirely due to his daily and yearly sword-drawing and slashing training.

In other words, Luo's current level of swordsmanship was acquired through training without his knowledge.
