The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 53 Old Friends Reminiscing

"Since Brother Danheng passed on the Dragon Pearl technique to me, my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two years. With the addition of the immortal herbs in the medicine garden, I am now a level 95 Title Douluo, and my strength is completely different from before." Dugu Bo had his servants brew tea for everyone and said with a smug look on his face.

"And then there's my granddaughter, Yan Yan. After eating the immortal herb you picked out for her, her martial soul successfully evolved into the Azure Scaled Flood Dragon. Not only is she no longer troubled by the toxins, but her strength has also reached level fifty-three. In this continent-wide elite soul master academy competition, Yan Yan will definitely shine brightly." When mentioning his granddaughter, Dugu Bo's spirits soared even higher, even more so than when talking about himself.

"Your granddaughter's martial soul suddenly evolved, and her strength increased so much. Has she encountered any trouble?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

“It’s normal for someone to covet such a treasure; how could there not be trouble?” Dugu Bo sighed.

"Yan Yan had a boyfriend named Yu Tianheng, a genius from the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Clan. After Yan Yan's martial soul evolved, that little bastard subtly tried to get her to give him a herb. I don't know what kind of bewitching potion that little bastard gave Yan Yan, but he pestered me several times, saying that Yu Tianheng ate the immortal herb and became a Soul King, so their team would have two Soul Kings and they would definitely win the championship."

"What kind of champion's reward is this? Can it be as precious as a fairy herb? Besides, their relationship is unclear, and they didn't even make a promise. Why should I give it to them? If Old Dragon comes to propose marriage in person and makes a proper promise, I might consider it."

A single immortal herb is enough to nurture a future titled Douluo, and is sufficient to ensure the prosperity of a major sect for at least a hundred years.

How could someone in a mere boyfriend-girlfriend relationship give away such a precious gift?
Tang San distributed the immortal herbs to the Seven Devils, which, although implying that he considered them as his future team, was still quite generous.

"And then?" Meng Huaifeng interjected, letting Dugu Bo continue.

"After I refused, that little bastard told his uncle, Yu Xiaogang, about the immortal herb. Then Yu Xiaogang, along with two other people and his disciple, came to Sunset Forest to find my herb garden."

Meng Huaifeng guessed that Tang San had learned about the immortal herb and told Yu Xiaogang, who then tricked Yu Tianheng.

Yu Xiaogang only has himself in his eyes. In his view, Tang San's achievements represent his achievements, so it can be said that he only has Tang San in his eyes. In order for Tang San to become stronger, he would do things that would not only harm his nephew, but also harm his family.

"I guess Yan Yan wasn't on guard against that little bastard and told him the general location of the herb garden. He then told his uncle, and they actually found it. Luckily, I went back on a whim that day and managed to catch them. Although they wreaked havoc on the herb garden, they didn't have time to take it away, which is fortunate."

"You didn't kill them?" Meng Huaifeng's eyes lit up.

"Of course I wanted to kill them, but a cloaked figure suddenly appeared. His spirit was the Clear Sky Hammer, and his ninth spirit ring was a 100,000-year spirit ring. I guess it was Tang Hao, who saved them. I was all alone, and considering the Clear Sky Sect behind him, plus I had already retrieved the immortal herbs, I didn't pursue them and let them go." Dugu Bo said with a regretful expression.

"You, you chased after Tang Hao? And then let him go?" Meng Huaifeng looked at Dugu Bo in disbelief.

"What kind of look is that?" Dugu Bo was furious and slammed his hand on the table. He continued, "Tang Hao seems to be injured and dares not use his full strength. Moreover, I am not the same as before. I released poison while moving around. Before long, he couldn't hold on and had to run away."

"So that's how it is." Meng Huaifeng understood. It must be that he had never fully recovered from the injury he suffered at the hands of Dan Heng, or rather, he had never fully recovered from the injury he sustained in the battle with Qian Xunji, and Dan Heng had aggravated his injuries.

"That's quite remarkable. Back then, Tang Hao severely injured three Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall, including the Pope, with a single blow. Now, I can take down Haotian Douluo all by myself. It's a matter of pride to talk about!" Dugu Bo said proudly.

"I doubt anyone would believe me if I told them," Meng Huaifeng said, pursing his lips.

Dugu Bo's face stiffened: "Anyway, it's the truth, I don't care whether others believe it or not."

"But when Tang Hao first appeared, the face of Yu Xiaogang's disciple really opened my eyes; I still remember it vividly." "How so?"

"He said that rare and precious things should belong to the virtuous, and that I shouldn't monopolize them all. He also said that these things would only become killing tools in the hands of a Poison Douluo like me, causing widespread suffering. Only in his hands could they be put to good use and benefit the people. It really made me laugh. Benefit the people? I think he'd be benefiting himself!" Dugu Bo still couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

It was precisely because the impression was so profound that Dugu Bo couldn't help but complain to Meng Huaifeng and the others.

The five people looked at each other, bewildered by this familiar style of behavior...

"They actually stole from your medicinal herb garden. Didn't you settle accounts with them afterwards?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"If they had gotten the better deal, I definitely wouldn't have let it go, but right now they didn't even manage to steal the immortal herb, and Tang Hao was already injured and then poisoned by me. Even if he doesn't die, he'll be badly injured. So I'll let it go. I'm also worried that they might do something desperate and cause trouble for Yan Yan." Dugu Bo sneered.

If Dugu Bo doesn't actively seek trouble, others won't dare to push him too far. There aren't many below the level of a Title Douluo who can withstand that poison.

"After this happened, I forced Yan Yan to break up with Yu Tianheng. That little bastard had some shame; he didn't pester Yan Yan and dropped out of school on his own," Dugu Bo said with a smile.

He was never very satisfied with Yu Tianheng, because if Dugu Yan were to be with Yu Tianheng, she would definitely marry into the Yu family. Then Dugu Yan would be the only Dugu in his family, and his family's wealth, such as the herb garden, would be essentially given to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Would he be happy about this? Of course not. Now that they've finally divided the property, he can find someone for his granddaughter to marry into, and the Dugu family can continue its lineage. How wonderful!

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, the five of them briefly shared their experiences with him.

Upon learning that they had received divine inheritances twice and then relinquished them, Dugu Bo felt even more that they were extraordinary.

However, since they didn't bring it up, Dugu Bo didn't intend to ask. It's normal for people to have secrets, and they were still his benefactors.

After catching up, March 7th asked with great interest, "I've heard you mention the academy competition several times before. Is the competition about to start?"

“That’s right, the preliminary rounds start in a couple of days. Do you want to go and watch the excitement?” Dugu Bo asked.

"Of course we're going! It's a continental-level event that only happens once every four years. If we happen to be there, we have to join in the fun," March 7th said excitedly.

The Nameless Guest never misses an event that happens to be held on a planet he's exploring.

You should participate in activities that are not tied to ability, and you should also participate in activities that are tied to ability, even if it means occasionally suppressing your ability.
