Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

Listening to Yan's description, Yue Guan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:

"Yan, what has happened to you in the past few years is truly unbelievable."

From the moment you broke through level 40 and obtained your fourth soul ring, you unexpectedly acquired an external soul bone, and you became the chosen one.

He unexpectedly obtained a top-grade immortal herb, single-handedly turned the tide and won the championship for the Spirit Hall, successfully escaped the City of Slaughter, absorbed the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Pill as a spirit ring, absorbed the inner core of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and then absorbed a 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone.

Every single thing that seemed impossible actually happened to you.

Sometimes I even wonder, have you really been blessed by God?

Yan smiled and said modestly:

"Teacher, if I really have to say, I have to thank you. Without your careful guidance in teaching me about flowers and plants, I would never have been able to absorb those top-grade immortal herbs, and none of what happened afterward would have occurred."

Yue Guan chuckled.

"Alright, kid, stop being modest. You're already the youngest Soul Saint. At your current rate of improvement, you're very likely to become a Title Douluo before you turn thirty. That would surpass His Holiness the Pope and make you the youngest Title Douluo in the history of Douluo Continent. Although I'm proud of you, you'll have to slow down a bit."

Yue Guan was optimistic about Yan's future, but also had some concerns.

Being too sharp and outstanding, even surpassing Pope Bibi Dong, is not necessarily a good thing.

Yan understood the unspoken meaning in Yue Guan's words.

"Thank you for reminding me, teacher. I will pay attention."

Yue Guan nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as you remain in the Spirit Hall and remain loyal to His Holiness the Pope, you will be fine."

"Well, I see."

Yan had long considered that if he were not under Bibi Dong's control, his life would be in danger.

Therefore, before that, he must become stronger in order to control his own destiny.

~~~~~~

The two then headed to Sunset Forest together.

This time, regardless of whether Dugu Bo is there or not, they will go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to pick the immortal herbs.

Chapter 116. Settling New and Old Accounts Together

116.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Yan and Yue Guan went directly to the Sunset Forest east of Tian Dou City.

After arriving at Sunset Forest, the two headed straight for the center of the forest.

Deep in the forest, the air seemed to grow heavier, and an unusual aura permeated the surroundings.

They both stopped at the same time.

Yan reminded him:

"Teacher, ahead lies Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Poison Formation. Once we pass through this formation, we'll soon reach that cone-shaped mountain peak."

"it is good."

Yue Guan's eyes, sharp as a hawk's, scanned everything around him, his heart filled with anticipation.

Yan's body was already immune to all poisons, and having absorbed ten Blazing Sun Pills, he was naturally not afraid of any snake venom.

However, Yue Guan does not have that kind of constitution and needs to take the Detoxifying Pill.

The two had made preparations before coming here.

Yue Guan took the Detoxifying Pill and prepared to enter the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom Formation with Yan.

"Hahaha~"

Suddenly, a chilling laugh pierced through the dense jungle, assaulting their eardrums.

The laughter contained a hint of arrogance and unruliness.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, what are you and this kid doing sneaking around here?"

A figure in emerald green slowly emerged from the shadows; it was none other than Dugu Bo, the titled Douluo renowned for his unparalleled poison skills.

Dugu Bo was dressed in a black robe, his face was cold and stern, and his eyes flashed with wisdom and cunning. A faint green poisonous mist surrounded him, making people dare not approach him easily.

Yue Guan gave a cold, gloomy smile.

"Dugu Bo, you really are here."

"What? Did you come here specifically to see me? Or do you have some special purpose in coming to Sunset Forest this time?"

Dugu Bo's lips curled into a wicked smile, but his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.

Yue Guan did not answer directly, but turned to look at Yan, signaling him to stay alert.

Yan nodded, his soul power surging within him, preparing to deal with any possible emergencies.

The poisonous mist emanating from Dugu Bo grew increasingly dense, clearly indicating that he was also prepared for battle.

He never expected that Yue Guan and Yan would appear here again.

During the Soul Master Competition, Dugu Bo witnessed Yan defeat the Shrek Academy team single-handedly, and knew that Yan's strength was remarkable.

That incident happened less than three years ago. Even though Yan has made considerable progress during this time, he is still far behind a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

Dugu Bo was very confident that killing Yan would not be difficult for him.

He wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by.

After Tang San's reminder, he realized that Yan was very likely the flower thief who had trespassed into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He couldn't tolerate this.

Dugu Bo stared at Yue Guan and Yan, finally fixing his gaze on Yan.

A hint of murderous intent lurked in those emerald green eyes.

"Kid, if I'm not mistaken, you were the one who stole herbs from my garden last time!"

Upon hearing this, Yan and Yueguan exchanged a smile.

Yan sneered:

"What do you mean, 'your garden'? That's incredibly presumptuous. Why don't you just say this entire Sunset Forest is yours?"

Dugu Bo was even more furious.

It's easy to tell from Yan and Yue Guan's expressions that his guess was correct.

"It really was you! How dare you steal the herbs I've been carefully tending! I won't let you get away with this. You injured my granddaughter at the Soul Master Competition, and today we'll settle both the old and new scores!"

As Dugu Bo's angry shout subsided, his aura suddenly turned cold and violent, as if the entire space had frozen.

Behind him, a beam of emerald light suddenly erupted, accompanied by a chilling hiss, and an enormous Azure Scale Serpent King appeared, hovering in mid-air.

The snake's body coiled and twisted, and the surrounding air was distorted by its enormous size, forming emerald green ripples woven from poisonous gas and soul power.

Its entire body is covered with eerily lustrous emerald scales, each scale imbued with the aura of deadly poison.

From its gaping maw, two rows of sharp, sword-like fangs were revealed, with viscous, emerald-green venom clinging to them.

That highly toxic venom, just a single drop, can instantly render a Soul Master incapable of fighting, or even kill them.

A suffocating stench mixed with a potent poison permeated the air.

Those emerald-like eyes, gleaming with a cold light, were fixed intently on Yan and Yueguan.

Faced with the terrifying Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, Yue Guan's expression changed slightly. He quickly released his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, preparing to fight.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up when he saw Yue Guan's martial spirit.

The enormous Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum looked even more solid than before, and the golden light emanating from it was even more dazzling.

Clearly, Yue Guan has become stronger again.

Yan, not to be outdone, released his own martial spirit.

Dugu Bo was completely shocked when he saw Yan's martial spirit.

The last time Dugu Bo saw Yan's Flame Lord Martial Soul was at the Soul Master Competition.

He didn't expect that Yan's martial soul had also undergone a huge change.

The Flame Lord not only became more solid, but also grew as tall and strong as a Martial Soul True Body. The red flames that were originally released from its body turned into a crimson gold.

Under the illumination of that crimson-gold light, the chilling aura released by the Azure Scale Serpent King vanished completely.

Even the emerald green ripples formed by the intertwining of poison gas and soul power began to pulsate wildly.

The Azure Serpent King seemed to be restrained by the crimson-gold light emanating from the Flame Lord.

Dugu Bo felt a strong burning sensation, and his pupils involuntarily dilated.

"What's going on? My martial soul is the Azure Serpent Emperor! How could it be countered by his Flame Lord martial soul?! How is this possible?! Could it be because he stole some immortal herbs, causing his martial soul to achieve this effect?"

Dugu Bo felt incredulous, both angry and resentful.
