Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 403 Leaving Mingdu: Invitations from Various Forces
"Consider it a mutual assistance, and consider it repayment for the kindness shown to you, Star Luo Immortal Physician Douluo, for helping our sect leader advance his cultivation level," Yuwen Tuo said.

"We'll be together in the future." She looked at Yuwen Tuo with hopeful eyes, as if she wanted to say something. In fact, she really admired this strong and resolute nephew.

“We have nothing to do with each other from now on,” Yuwen Tuo said decisively.

"Why...why can Xu Tianzhen continue to acknowledge you, but I can't?" Xu Jiujiu said unwillingly. She had never done anything to wrong Yuwen Tuo.

Even though he caused a huge disturbance in the palace and killed Giant Strength Douluo and Purple Spirit Douluo, she never blamed him.

“Because Xu Tianzhen’s feelings are very pure and do not involve any self-interest. If I were just Xiao Tuo from Shiwa Village, would you care about me so much?” Yuwen Tuo asked in return.

Xu Jiujiu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then she understood what Yuwen Tuo meant.

For Xu Tianzhen, she liked Yuwen Tuo simply because she treated him like a younger brother. Whether Yuwen Tuo was the world-renowned Flame Emperor, a killing machine of evil soul masters, or just an ordinary villager, she didn't care. A younger brother is a younger brother.

But she was different. No matter how much she liked her nephew, how strong, resolute, and intelligent he was, the word "strong" was always the main reason. If he never became the famous Yuwen Tuo and just stayed in Shiwa Village as an ordinary Xiao Tuo, would she go to find him?
Most likely not!
After all, she was aware of Yuwen Tuo's existence back then, but she didn't actually pay much attention to it.

"I understand! Then I'll be going. No matter what, Xingluo will always welcome you," Xu Jiujiu said sadly.

The Star Crown Douluo wasn't as polite as her, saying bluntly, "Yuwen Tuo, although you are strong, your personality is really too immature. In this world, the strong are respected. Aren't the women around you and the experts from the Body Sect gathered around you because of your strength? How many of them can completely disregard your strength and simply care about you?"

"Hmph, I wasn't attracted by Tuotuo's strength. I was attracted by his looks. I was attracted by his appearance but ended up with his character. It has nothing to do with his strength," Xiao Xiao retorted immediately.

Ling Luochen nodded. "I didn't care. When I loved Xiao Tuo, I didn't even know he had twin martial souls. At that time, he was crippled for six years. You could say that in everyone's eyes, he had no future. But I still loved him."

"I do know him because I was attracted by his power, just as you said. But whether you believe it or not, when I met Tuo, I was much stronger than him in terms of strength and influence. But in my heart, Tuo is Tuo. Even if he has nothing now, I am still Yuwen Qiu who inherited his surname." Qiu'er did not deny that she truly came to Yuwen Tuo's side because of his strength.

However, what she said later was hard to question, after all, she was the one who picked the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Yuwen Tuo smiled slightly, "Star Crown Douluo, there are some things you may not believe, but it's best not to look down on them."

"And what brings you here, Heavenly Sun Douluo? Are you here to thank me and say goodbye as well?"

“Yuwen Tuo, I know we have a grudge. I, Tianyang Douluo, am responsible for my actions. It was my fault that I ambushed you in the valley back then. If you want revenge, you can come to me anytime. But I am here to thank you. Without you seeing through Xu Tianran’s plan, the elites of the Douling Empire would have suffered heavy losses.” Tianyang Douluo said, showing that he could distinguish right from wrong.

Yuwentuo nodded and said, "Alright, I accept your thanks, but I, Yuwentuo, always seek revenge. Remember what you said, wash your neck clean and wait, I will come and cut off your head in a fair and square manner."

He won't let him off the hook just because he cooperated with Tianyang Douluo once.

Hatred is hatred, and Yuwen Tuo's principle is to avenge every wrong and repay every kindness.

Tianyang Douluo sighed, took his leave, and was mentally prepared. Given Yuwen Tuo's rate of progress, he knew he probably didn't have many years left to live.

Soon, the various forces dispersed, leaving only those from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Besides some students from the Heavenly Soul Royal Imperial Academy, as well as disciples from the Body Sect and Ghost Valley, there were only members of the Heaven and Earth Twin Dragon Gate.

The leaders of both sects came in person to save their children.

Nan Shuishui, accompanied by Nan Qiuqiu, and Yu Yuancheng, accompanied by Yu Tianlong, also came to express their gratitude to Yuwen Tuo.

Nan Qiuqiu looked at Yuwen Tuo excitedly and said, "Brother Yuwen, you were so incredibly handsome last night, especially when you cut off your bones to repay your father and your flesh to repay your mother, owing no one anything anymore. You were truly a great hero! Please sign this for me!"

Nan Qiuqiu has the image of a fangirl and can be considered a high-quality and active fan of Yuwen Tuo.

"Sure, where should I sign?" Yuwen Tuo asked with a smile, not minding having such adorable fans.

Nan Qiuqiu stretched out her arm and said, "Sign it on my sleeve. You can write, 'Qiuqiu, I have high hopes for you. One day, you will definitely become a Title Douluo. I wish you a bright future, domineering presence, and that you will punish evil and become a world-renowned heroine.'"

Yuwen Tuo broke out in a cold sweat. It's just a signature, why is this so long?

But it was rare to gain such a high-quality, active fan, who was also a cute and adorable girl, so he patiently finished writing it.

Nan Shuishui said helplessly, "Young friend Yuwen, my daughter is really a bit unruly, please don't take offense. Judging from your soul power, it seems to have reached level eighty. Next, shall we go and hunt for the eighth soul ring?"

“That is indeed the case,” Yuwen Tuo said. For him, nothing was more important than improving his strength.

“Alright, then young friend Yuwen, when you have time, welcome to Dragon City and visit my Dragon Gate. You saved the entire Dragon Gate, and I, Nan Shuishui, truly do not know how to repay you. Within my Dragon Gate, there is a treasure land that perhaps young friend Yuwen would like,” Nan Shuishui said.

"A treasure land?" Yuwen Tuo thought for a moment and quickly guessed that it must be the mineral vein containing the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Cold Jade Marrow.

He was certainly very interested in this place; with the help of its energy, he might have a way to truly and completely revive the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

However, with his current skill level, it's too early for him to go there. He needs to fully utilize the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Jade Marrow before going. He should first reach the Soul Douluo level and deal with the Shrek Academy matter.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Nan. Since you have invited me, I, Yuwen Tuo, will gladly accept." Yuwen Tuo replied.

Upon hearing this, Nan Qiuqiu was even more delighted, "That's wonderful, Brother Yuwen, you must visit our Dilongmen often."

In fact, Nan Shuishui's intention was not only to repay a debt of gratitude, but also to make an investment.

Yuwen Tuo's talent is terrifying. His new body was formed in front of everyone with the power of a divine artifact. No one can see how strong his potential is. Doing him a favor today may bring ten times the return in the future.
