Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

"Go ahead," Dugu Bo said, unsurprised.

"I would like to ask that if you consume any water-attribute herbs during your travels, you collect a portion of your blood every few days, treat it with a medicinal solution to prevent clotting, and then send this blood to me. I want to study the effects of the herbs on your body," Chen Feng said.

Dugu Bo glanced at Chen Feng and said calmly:

"Your reason is a bit lame, but I agree, provided that the water-attribute herbs can really improve my condition. Do you need a lot of blood?"

He knew that Chen Feng was probably hiding something, and that he wanted his blood not just for research purposes, but Dugu Bo didn't care about that.

As long as Chen Feng's solution can truly resolve the issues between him and Dugu Yan, then he would even be willing to let Dugu Bo kill someone for Chen Feng, what does sheer bloodshed matter?

"The more the better," Chen Feng said, forcing himself to speak.

“Alright, shall we send it to this academy? Who should be the recipient? It would be inconvenient for you to pick it up yourself. After all, it would look strange and arouse suspicion if a Title Douluo sent something to a child.” Dugu Bo said.

"Then... let's send it to the master," Chen Feng said after thinking for a moment.

The master has two storage soul tools, making him a suitable intermediary.

“Alright, let’s set a deadline then.” Dugu Bo said thoughtfully, “At the latest, it will be when my granddaughter obtains her fourth soul ring. By then, the effect of your plan should be more obvious. During this period, I will also search for water-attribute herbs and collect blood samples to send to you.”

"Given my granddaughter's talent, she should reach level 40 in about seven or eight years. If your plan works, I will come back to you then to fulfill the three promises we made. What do you think?"

“Alright, it’s a deal then.” Chen Feng stood up, walked to the table, and extended his hand to Dugu Bo. “I wish you a safe journey, senior.”

"Thank you for your kind words. It's a deal." Dugu Bo extended his hand and shook hands with Chen Feng.

Chapter 51 Strange Gems

Starry Sky Forest.

The lush trees and vast forests are filled with fresh air.

In the heart of this most famous forest on the Douluo Continent, there lies a small lake. If you hadn't actually come here, it would be hard to believe that such a wondrous sight could exist in this vast forest.

The lake is not very large, only about 100 meters in diameter, but its crystal-clear waters are like a mirror, reflecting the green trees on both sides, creating a picturesque scene.

A beautiful little girl with scorpion braids sat down by the lake and stared blankly at the water.

Behind her, a gigantic chimpanzee was crouching quietly.

Compared to the mountain-like size of the chimpanzee, the little girl appeared so small and frail.

The little girl was Xiao Wu, who had been persuaded to return by Chen Feng. On the way home, she racked her brains but couldn't figure out how she had been exposed.

She didn't know whether she should go back to school or go to the human world again after her identity was exposed.

As Xiao Wu sat by the lake in a daze, suddenly, with a splash, a huge head emerged from the lake water in front of her.

It was a bull's head, at least four meters in diameter, with two large, lantern-like eyes that shone brightly.

Strangely, what connects to this giant body is not the body of a cow, but a huge snake that is blackish-blue in color and several times thicker than a water vat.

"Da Ming, you've come out." Xiao Wu waved to the eerie giant snake, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Xiao Wu, why are you back? Are you on vacation?" Da Ming asked in human language.

"No, I just have some things to take care of and need to come back temporarily," Xiao Wu said.

She didn't intend to tell Da Ming and Er Ming the truth, because if she did, they would definitely not let her leave again.

"What's wrong? Do you need our help?" Da Ming asked curiously.

"I came back... to see if there are any soul tools in the house, the kind that can hold things. I remember that some humans left behind a lot of soul tools in the forest after they died."

Xiao Wu racked her brains and finally came up with a reasonable excuse.

Xiao Wu didn't know much about soul tools.

She had only seen the master use that beautiful belt to store and retrieve things during her trip to the Sand Gold Valley.

After returning to the academy, Xiao Wu asked the master and learned that it was a storage soul tool.

The storage soul tool is very expensive, and it is not something that the three children can afford.

Because the master needed to store the blood of dragon-type soul beasts, he didn't give the belt away.

This makes it somewhat troublesome for Chen Feng and his companions to carry anything with them.

Under these circumstances, it was indeed reasonable for Xiao Wu to use the soul tool as an excuse.

In the short time she spent making excuses for herself, she made the decision to return to the academy.

Xiao Wu felt that she shouldn't run away like this. If she hid in the Star Dou Great Forest and never came out, she would be safe, but her cultivation speed would be greatly reduced.

Moreover, Xiao Wu wants to find the person who killed her mother and avenge her. Hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest won't do her a good job of doing this.

Therefore, she must return to the human world.

As for Chen Feng knowing her identity, Xiao Wu felt it shouldn't be a big problem.

Because Chen Feng had been covering for her all along, and this time he was the one who reminded her in advance to return to the Star Dou Great Forest to avoid the powerful Soul Masters who might come to Notting Academy.

If Chen Feng harbored ill intentions towards her, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Da Ming recalled for a moment and said:

"So that kind of thing is called a soul tool? I've certainly accumulated quite a few over the years. Take them all if you want."

Da Ming dove into the lake and soon emerged carrying a bunch of colorful items in his mouth.

It spat the pile of stuff onto the shore and spoke in a calm voice, full of heroic spirit:

"Take whatever you like."

Xiao Wu approached the pile of items and began picking and choosing. Before long, she selected three storage soul tools that she thought were pretty good.

Xiao Wu was about to have Da Ming put the pile of things back to the bottom of the lake when she suddenly felt something inside the pile of things attracting her.

Under Daming's questioning gaze, Xiaowu reached out and rummaged through the pile of colorful things, searching for the source that attracted her.

Soon, she saw the item that was attracting her.

It was a blood-red gem-like object, somewhat teardrop-shaped and sized, with a clear and translucent luster, and appeared to be a high-quality gem.

Looking at the gem, Xiao Wu tilted her head in confusion. For some reason, she felt as if she could sense the power of moonlight within the gem.

"Da Ming, did you collect this?" Xiao Wu asked, looking at the Azure Bull Python.

The Azure Bull Python glanced at the gemstone with its lantern-like eyes, then uttered a questioning sound:

"Huh? I don't think I've ever seen this before. When did it appear here?"

"Haven't you seen it before? Could it have fallen here at some point? Or perhaps it drifted here with the river?" Xiao Wu guessed.

"Maybe? I don't remember this thing," Da Ming said. "Sister Xiao Wu, if you're interested, you can take it."

"Then I'll take it. I feel like it might be useful to me." Xiao Wu said as she reached out to grab the blood-red gem.

The moment Xiao Wu's hand touched the gem, she saw everything around her disappear, replaced by a completely unfamiliar environment.

It was a dark and desolate land, the only source of light being the crimson moon in the sky.

"Wait, why is the moon crimson?" Xiao Wu wondered.

She looked up at the strange moon in the dark sky, examining its details, trying to figure out why it had turned red.

However, before long, Xiao Wu gradually felt a sense of security from this crimson moon, just like the embrace of her mother.

“Mom…” Xiao Wu’s eyes gradually lost their luster, and she walked forward blankly, wanting to get closer to the crimson moon in the sky.

Just as she was immersed in that long-lost sense of security and was about to lose consciousness, a loud wolf howl suddenly rang out.

"Awooo~~~"

Xiao Wu was suddenly jolted awake from her reverie. To her surprise, she discovered that the moon in the sky had changed from its original crimson color to pure silver-white, and it no longer gave her that motherly sense of security.

As she looked around, trying to find the source of the wolf howl, she saw a huge shadow loom over her.

Xiao Wu suddenly turned around and saw a giant silver wolf quietly watching her.

Chapter 52 Beep! Good Guy Card

"Who, who are you?" Xiao Wu asked, looking at the silver-white giant wolf.

This was a subconscious question from her; she didn't expect the other party to answer her, since not all soul beasts can talk like Da Ming.

Even now, Erming can only yell and shout, without being able to utter a single word.

However, to Xiao Wu's surprise, after quietly observing her for a while, the giant wolf actually spoke.

"Can rabbits really turn into people? That's a really interesting world."

"You can actually talk? Can you tell me where this is? And who are you?" Xiao Wu asked, mustering her courage.

But the giant wolf didn't answer her question. It stretched out its huge paw and gently touched Xiao Wu's forehead. "Your inspiration is a bit too high, little girl. If I hadn't noticed in time this time, you would have been corrupted by ▆▆▆▆, you know that?"

“Go back. Consider that drop of blood a gift from me. The contamination on it has dissipated. I see you are using the power of moonlight, which suits you quite well. As for this memory, you don’t need to keep it.”

Xiao Wu's vision went black for a moment, and when she opened her eyes the next second, she found herself still by the lake in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Or to be more precise, she never left.

Xiao Wu blinked, feeling a complete mess in her mind. She felt as if she had just experienced something extrasensory, but she couldn't remember anything at the moment.

She looked at the blood-red gem in her hand, feeling the moonlight power flowing from it, and felt a surge of joy.

"I never expected to find such a treasure on my way home. I can make it into a pendant and wear it on my body, so I won't have to go out to bask in the moonlight at night anymore, hehe." Xiao Wu thought to herself happily.

"Sister Xiaowu, are you leaving?" Daming asked in a low voice, completely unaware of what had just happened to Xiaowu.

Erming also let out a low growl, clearly unhappy that Xiaowu was leaving.

"Leave? Uh... no, I'll stay home for a few days before I go." Xiao Wu originally wanted to go back to the academy now and show off her storage soul tool to Chen Feng and Tang San.

But she wasn't sure when Chen Feng's matter would end, so she decided to wait a few more days.

......

Nottingham College meeting room.

When Chen Feng arrived and pushed open the door, he saw Ning Fengzhi and the master chatting over tea.

However, it was clear that since there were also people from the Star Luo Empire present, this chat was just that—chat—without any meaningful topics.

Dean Notting wasn't there. After greeting everyone present, he tactfully left.

Upon seeing Chen Feng arrive, Chen Xin stood up and said:

"It seems you've finished talking with Dugu Bo."

"Yes, Senior Poison Douluo has already left," Chen Feng said.

Dugu Bo was aloof and would never come over to observe any formalities or say goodbye.

So after getting the information he wanted, he left quietly.

He needed to go back and arrange things for Dugu Yan, which meant telling her that she had to obtain a soul ring from a snake-dragon type soul beast with water and poison attributes.

This is the soul ring selection plan that Chen Feng and Dugu Bo believe is most advantageous for Dugu Yan, after discussion.

Once Dugu Yan's affairs are settled, Dugu Bo will travel alone to the mainland to search for water-attribute herbs.

Inside the meeting room, a senior deacon from Xingluo stood up and said with a smile:

"Master Chenfeng, what are your thoughts on His Majesty's invitation?"

Chen Feng already knew their purpose from Dai Mubai, but Dai Mubai also said that Chen Feng should make a decision according to his own heart and not take his face.

So Chen Feng spoke up:

"Uncle Dai thinks so highly of me, which is an honor for me. However, I come from a humble background and am just a villager. I am afraid I cannot adapt to the aristocratic life there."

"Furthermore, I don't want to be too far from my grandfather, so I'm not considering leaving this city for the time being. I'm sorry, everyone in the Star Luo Empire."

The senior deacon asked in astonishment:

"Don't you plan to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School either?"

"Yes, I might go back to the sect during my holidays, but I won't stay there for long," Chen Feng nodded and said.

His words had two meanings. One was that the Star Luo Royal Academy was very good and the emperor was very respectful, but as a commoner, he was not used to dealing with those second-generation Celestial Dragons.

At the same time, Chen Feng also pointed out his close relationship with Dai Mubai, telling the people of the Star Luo Empire that although he would not go there, they could still be good friends.
