[Attribute: Ultimate Fire]

[Next Evolution Stage: Fiery Crystal Rock]

[Skill: (Azure Mystic Rank) Lava Crystal: The main body melts into a liquid fire crystal lotus platform, the petals are formed from lava, and the lotus heart spews forth a stream of magma, creating a continuously burning [Lava Path] with a temperature reaching 4000℃ at the crater.]

Although it only has one skill, it is already very powerful.

Su Wen looked at the immortal herb he was holding in his palm and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although it is still only the size of a palm, its power should not be underestimated.

"Really just one?"

Dugu Bo watched as Su Wen threw out a Poké Ball, then absorbed the magical herb into it, and could summon it at will. He was quite amazed, but since the other party had saved his life, he couldn't ask about many of the secrets.

“One is enough,” Su Wen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo didn't say anything more.

Since Su Wen, this mysterious young man, has expressed goodwill, it's best to avoid provoking him...

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Om..."

Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the ground, his body surrounded by a dark green swirling energy that all converged towards his left leg. His pale face was gradually regaining its vitality. In the past, he had been tormented half to death by the poison, like a venomous snake hiding in the dark and damp. Now, he could finally stand in the sunlight.

"Thank you."

Looking at the young man who was leisurely lying not far away, occupying his recliner, Dugu Bo felt a sense of emotion.

"You're welcome," Su Wen said with a smile.

While manipulating the flow of the breeze, it dispersed the damp atmosphere around them.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo was secretly amazed. Over the next few days, their relationship improved considerably, and he accepted this unexpected guest.

"grandfather!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from far away.

Dugu Bo was taken aback, and a kind and doting look appeared on his face.

The only person who could elicit such an expression from this old narcotics master was Dugu Yan.

A young girl walked towards them with cheerful steps. Su Wen looked up and saw that she had short, dark purple hair, but her pupils were light green, as were her fingernails. If one did not know that this was a sign of poisoning, an ordinary person would probably think that she had painted her nails...

"Why did you suddenly come back?" Dugu Bo asked with a smile, patting his granddaughter's head.

"Grandpa, could you please go to the academy and help us get justice? Teacher Qin actually wants those Shrek Academy guys to join the Royal Academy!" Dugu Yan pleaded.

Dugu Bo frowned: "..."

This is indeed a difficult matter.

If those guys were to join, they would inevitably take a huge chunk of Dugu Yan's resources. There are too many wolves and not enough meat, and it's the same everywhere. Especially since the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament is coming up soon, the main team will naturally be a strong contender. Obviously, Qin Ming and Shrek Academy have the same plan: to showcase their talents and then use others to their advantage.

From Dugu Yan's perspective, she naturally didn't want the other side to get involved.

However, even Poison Douluo has his pride. It would be beneath him to personally intervene in the power struggles of a group of juniors.

"Why don't you join the Heaven Dou Empire Royal Academy as a retainer? You won't even need to ask; the Education Committee will turn Tang San and the others away out of consideration for you," Dugu Yan continued, coaxingly.

Dugu Bo looked troubled.

Given his status and position, it's really not advisable for him to casually join any faction, otherwise he could easily be coerced and manipulated.

Otherwise, over the years, many people have offered him extremely high rewards in hopes that he would join them, but he has always refused.

"A reputation is earned through one's own efforts. If you rely solely on others, you'll never achieve great things, young lady..."

Su Wen said with a smile.

"Who are you?!" Dugu Yan was startled, her green eyes fixed on Su Wen, her small face full of surprise.

This was her grandfather's territory. Over the years, she had never seen an outsider enter this valley. The person in question was just a boy about her age, yet he was sitting leisurely in her grandfather's chair. This scene left her quite astonished.

But it was quickly replaced by shame and anger.

"Why not use the resources we have? Besides, joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as a retainer would not only make Grandpa a respected guest, but also grant him a higher status and resources at the level of a Title Douluo. Why not?"

"..."

Su Wen nodded slightly.

"you're right."

Dugu Yan: "..."

In the original novel, Dugu Bo also took a gamble to some extent, but compared to a certain lucky guy, he was unlucky. He lost the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and also lost himself by becoming a retainer at Shrek Academy.

Even someone as shrewd as Ning Fengzhi ended up losing both his money and his life; one can only imagine what happened to this guy.

Therefore, according to the original story, Dugu Bo's decision to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was not a bad move. After all, he had plenty of resources and a good status there, which was much better than Blue Tyrant Academy and Shrek Academy when it was first established.

"Hmph, you make it sound so nice, why don't you apply for the position of retainer yourself?" Dugu Bo snorted.
