Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 249 Tang Hao's attempt to steal the herb fails, and he fanns the flames on Yu Xiaogang.
half year ago.

Under the starry night at Peach Blossom Academy, a man dressed in black leaped into the air and spent several hours avoiding the peach blossom array before landing at the edge of the flower garden.

He crept stealthily among the shimmering flowers and plants, searching for his target, but to no avail. A rough, deep voice roared:

"What the hell? What the hell?!"

"I've waited for you for two years, and you've finally come."

"So, you're the flower thief."

From behind the wooden house emerged a man dressed in blue and white robes, none other than Dugu Bo, the academy's guardian.

Tang Hao suddenly turned around and saw the Poison Douluo in the darkness. This poison man, who was said to have been poisoned by a backlash, looked to be in excellent condition. He looked much younger, his figure was straight, and he had a strong presence.

"Dugu Bo, I'm asking you, where did you put that Blue Silver Grass that was planted in this spot?"

Tang Hao had returned from the West Sea and knew that Su Ran was not there, so he was not afraid of Dugu Bo, who was only level 91 or 92 in his memory.

Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed as he remembered the special Blue Silver Grass that Dean Su had specifically instructed him to take care of. It turned out that this Blue Silver Grass was planted by Tang Hao.

Dugu Bo snorted: "What's it to you? Planted on the land of Peach Blossom Spring, they are the academy's flowers and plants, what business is it of yours?"

"Breaking into the academy and stealing precious flowers and plants of high value is punishable by more than three years in prison, according to the law. Will you turn yourself in, or should I arrest you?"

"How arrogant! I never thought that even a little snake like you would dare to challenge me today. It seems that my Clear Sky Hammer has been dormant for too long, making you all forget its power."

"If you hand over that Blue Silver Grass now, I'll turn around and leave. If you don't, you're in for a world of trouble."

A heavy Clear Sky Hammer appeared in Tang Hao's palm, and his nine spirit rings flickered slightly.

Dugu Bo sneered, refusing to yield an inch, and nine spirit rings also appeared on his body:
"You're the one who'll suffer."

"A level 95 Super Douluo, no wonder you dare to challenge me. But unfortunately, more than ten years ago, I was able to overpower this level 95 little thing."

That night, a battle between Super Douluo erupted on the back mountain of Peach Blossom Academy.

When Mu Yunzhu, Wang Sheng, and Hu Liena arrived, only Dugu Bo was recuperating. The surrounding vegetation had withered due to the poison or been pulverized by the powerful destructive force of the Haotian Hammer.

A hundred miles away, on the outskirts of a small town, Tang Hao fled in a sorry state, his right arm turning purple, his body submerged in a pool of water. "How did Dugu Bo become so strong?"

"A poison user was able to withstand the attack of my Clear Sky Hammer. His spirit ring and his poison bead are highly suspicious. They were able to corrode my body through the Clear Sky Hammer."

"If I hadn't stopped in time, I'm afraid I would have been poisoned to death by his poison."

The toxin was so potent that the pool and stream where Tang Hao was located turned purplish-black overnight, and all the fish, shrimp, and turtles in it were drowned.

As dawn broke, Tang Hao was pale and weak. His entire right arm was ulcerated, exposing the bone. Combined with his previous injuries, it was almost useless.

His left arm slammed helplessly against a nearby rock, and Tang Hao said in a deep voice:
"Damn it, I thought that with Su Ran in the West Sea, I could take the opportunity to sneak into Peach Blossom Academy to check on Ah Yin's situation, but I didn't expect there to be Dugu Bo blocking my way."

“If Su Ran returns, I will have even less of a chance. Given Su Ran’s talent and the situation at Peach Blossom Academy, in time, not to mention Su Ran, even his students will be difficult to deal with.”

"Ah Yin, I sent you in to absorb the essence of the sun, moon, and peach blossoms, but can't I get you out of here safely?"

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Tang Hao clenched his teeth, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness towards Taoyuan Academy.

With his strength, he couldn't win whether he attacked head-on or outsmarted the enemy. His investigation revealed that those now aligned with Peach Blossom Academy included not only Dugu Bo, but also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the newly independent Papal Palace. If they clashed head-on, let alone retrieving Ah Yin, he himself wouldn't be able to escape.

Now that he has been exposed, it is impossible for him to infiltrate Peach Blossom Academy again in the near future.

What worries Tang Hao even more is that he doesn't know how Dugu Bo will treat A Yin.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Peach Blossom Academy gets all the benefits in the world. I can't please them, and I can't back down. I absolutely hate this feeling of being stifled!"

"If you want to get Ah Yin back, you'll have to throw the entire Peach Blossom Academy into chaos and then wait for the right opportunity to act!"

"Perhaps, I can use a useless acquaintance."

……

five months ago.

Star City, the Royal Family.

The Star Luo Emperor was reviewing memorials in the White Tiger Hall and instructed the prince in charge of the Star Luo Royal Academy:

"If I remember correctly, the Soul Master Competition will begin in a few months. Last time, the royal family did not achieve good results. This time, we must select the best contestants to participate, and at least secure a top-three spot. Do you understand?"

The prince bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. The situation across the continent is strange right now. If Peach Blossom Academy participates, I'm afraid Peach Blossom will still win the championship. The Spirit Hall has been in turmoil for the past two years, Spirit City has been almost destroyed, and the Heaven Dou Prince has been expelled by Peach Blossom. We, Star Luo, will most likely be able to take one of the runner-up and third place."

"I don't want a high probability, I want a certainty. This is about our royal family restoring its authority."

"As ordered!"

"Alright, everyone, leave now."

The prince and several trusted confidants withdrew. The Star Luo Emperor's eyes darkened, and he slammed his hand hard on the table. On the table was a map of the two empires, and the red line marked on it was Soto City, where Peach Blossom Academy was located.
"Peach Blossom Academy, Zhu Zhuqing, if it weren't for you, why would I be so worried? The shame you brought to my Star Luo royal family, I will one day repay it all!"

"I'm afraid you won't live to see that day. By the time your Star Luo Empire recovers, Peach Blossom Academy will likely have become the number one academy on the continent. The combined power of the two great empires will not be as strong as the power of a few students from Peach Blossom Academy. At that time, Peach Blossom Academy can turn the world upside down with a flick of its wrist and make your Star Luo Empire's royal family change hands, and no one will dare to disobey."

A figure dressed in a large black robe, revealing a missing arm beneath, appeared behind the curtain of the Star Luo White Tiger Palace. Beside Tang Hao was a weathered middle-aged man in a wheelchair, pushed by a young girl. The weathered middle-aged man wrote something on a drawing board, which was then read aloud by the girl.

"Elder Haotian, Master Yu, what are your thoughts?"

"White Tiger Emperor, no one understands Peach Blossom Academy better than us. Believe me, the growth of Peach Blossom Academy is beyond your imagination. Since Zhu Zhuqing dared to venture into the palace alone, the other disciples of this academy will soon possess the same ability. Within twenty years, Peach Blossom Academy will have at least ten Title Douluos and more than five Super Douluos. At that time, will Star Luo still dare to seek revenge?"

"Ten Title Douluos?"

Upon hearing this, the White Tiger Emperor trembled and slumped into his seat:

"If that's the case, Xingluo... I'm afraid it will have no choice but to be at the mercy of Taoyuan Academy."

"If Xingluo wants revenge, he only has one chance now, which is also his last chance. He will either succeed or die trying. I just don't know if the White Tiger Emperor has the courage to take the gamble."

"What opportunity?" the White Tiger Emperor asked.

　In this storyline, both Gangzi and Haozi will truly be leaving the show.
