Douluo Continent: Blue Overlord

Yu Tiancheng's next words made Dugu Bo both excited and somewhat disappointed.

"Senior Dugu," Yu Tiancheng said sincerely, "there are still quite a few immortal herbs here that contain the essence of dragons."

"For you and Miss Dugu's Azure Serpent Martial Souls, if you could consume it, there's a very good chance it would transform into a higher-level Dragon Martial Soul. However..."

He changed the subject, his expression becoming serious, "Your body has been poisoned for a long time, and Miss Dugu Yan may have been affected by the toxins since birth, eroding her foundation."

If these medicinal herbs are taken rashly, their vast pure energy will not only be neutralized by the poison in the body, but also greatly reduce their efficacy.

There's a greater possibility that the intense conflict between the drug and its toxicity could harm oneself, resulting in more harm than good.

He pointed to the purple Ganoderma lucidum: "Therefore, I suggest that you and Miss Dugu take this ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum first."

Although this mushroom is not a divine product, it is an unparalleled holy medicine for strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy. Its medicinal properties are mild and mellow, and it is best at nourishing and repairing the body's fundamental energy that has been depleted by toxins.

After I absorb those two immortal herbs, I will remove the poison from your martial souls.

At that time, we will select the most suitable dragon-related immortal herbs for you and Miss Dugu, which will surely make things twice as easy and successful!

Of course, it won't take too long. I'm confident I can reach level 40 within five years. What do you think?

Dugu Bo thought Yu Tiancheng's words made sense. Five years was not a long time for him. He could wait, and he was not afraid of the other party playing tricks.

However, a sliver of doubt remained in his mind; this speed was far too astonishing, and he couldn't help but probe:

"Five years? Kid, you're level seventeen now. To reach level forty in five years means you'd have to level up at least four levels per year! Is that... even possible?"

He wasn't questioning Yu Tiancheng's talent, but the speed was simply beyond reason.

In ordinary major sects, geniuses typically cultivate at a speed of two to three levels per year before reaching level fifty, with even top geniuses only reaching three levels per year.

Four levels of CET-4 in one year! That's unheard of!

Faced with the question, Yu Tiancheng's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a calm and confident demeanor. He then turned his gaze to his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, who stood to the side.

"Senior Dugu, do you think my grandfather has had even the slightest concern about this?"

Dugu Bo subconsciously looked at Yu Yuanzhen.

The old dragon showed no sign of worry whatsoever. Instead, he crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and his smugness was almost overflowing.

Dugu Bo: "..."

He instantly felt his blood pressure rise, and cursed inwardly, "That old dragon got away with it!"

But then I thought, this monstrous young man in front of me could very well become my grandson-in-law in the future!

Then wouldn't I become his grandfather too? Wouldn't I be just as proud of myself then?

Upon realizing this, Dugu Bo's initial displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by a wonderful feeling of pride and honor.

A smug smile involuntarily appeared on his face, and his gaze towards Yu Tiancheng became as kind and gentle as if he were looking at his own granddaughter. He said softly:

"Tiancheng, from now on, don't call me 'senior' anymore, it sounds too formal. Just call me 'grandpa'!"

Yu Tiancheng reacted quickly, replying without hesitation, "Okay, Grandpa!"

"Hey!" Dugu Bo was overjoyed by the call, feeling immensely gratified. His smile grew even brighter, and he then glanced triumphantly at Yu Yuanzhen, his eyes seeming to say: See? This is also my grandson!

Yu Yuanzhen was annoyed by that look and immediately glared back, puffing out his beard.

The two old men, whose combined age was nearly two hundred, were now silently competing with each other through their eyes, like children.

Yu Tiancheng temporarily ignored the silent rivalry between the two "grandfathers" and turned to his parents, speaking seriously:

"Dad, Mom, the time is perfect. You should absorb the immortal herbs right here! With your two grandfathers here to protect you, everything will be fine."

With the medicinal power of the "Dragon Emperor Thunder Grass" and the "Abyss Dragon Nether Lightning Grass," it should be no problem for you to break through the level 80 bottleneck.

"At that time, we'll ask our two grandfathers to help you hunt down top-tier, high-age spirit rings!"

Wang Zhi and Yu Xiaohong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with trust in their son and anticipation for the future, without the slightest hesitation.

The two of them each took the immortal herb that shimmered with golden-purple lightning and dark electric sparks, sat down cross-legged, and solemnly consumed it;

He then focused his mind, fully circulated his soul power, and guided the vast and pure thunder power into his limbs and bones.

Soon, intense soul power fluctuations rose from the two of them, their auras rising steadily as they entered a deep state of meditation.

Seeing that his parents' breathing had stabilized and they were getting into a better state, Yu Tiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and interrupted the two old men who were still secretly competing:

"Grandpa, I hope the news of the alliance will not be announced to the public for the time being!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was the first to snap out of his battle aura state, his thick eyebrows slightly raised, and a clear look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Why is that? The addition of a Title Douluo can increase the sect's prestige;

The stronger the reputation, the easier it is to attract talent; the more talent there is, the stronger the reputation becomes, thus creating a virtuous cycle.

Before Yu Tiancheng could answer, Dugu Bo spoke first with a disdainful expression:

"Hmph! You old dragon, you're all brawn and no brains!"

Do you know what it means to have the greatest deterrent effect when the trump card is yet to be played?

Are you revealing all your cards in the open because you're afraid the enemy won't know your true strength and will then try to target you?

The most important thing now is to protect Tian as he grows up! Once he's matured, all the problems will be solved!

Yu Yuanzhen blushed slightly after being rebuked by Dugu Bo, but upon reflection, he realized that although the old poisoner's words were unpleasant to hear, they were all reasonable.

He was indeed somewhat blinded by immediate gains in his judgment.

"Grandpa Dugu is absolutely right!" Yu Tiancheng chimed in at the opportune moment, agreeing with Dugu Bo's analysis and further elaborating on his own thoughts.

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is known as the third largest clan in the world. Instead of struggling to compete for second place, we should let the two great empires and other sects take the lead while we bide our time."

In less than twenty years, they will directly surpass second place and compete for the undisputed number one spot in the world!

Both of them nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Subsequently, Yu Tiancheng and the two began to discuss the specific details in detail.

For example, how to quickly send out a distress signal and launch a rescue operation when one side is attacked;

For example, in the exchange of cultivation resources, some of the secret medicines of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, including the newly acquired whale glue, were used to exchange for the secret formula in Dugu Bo's possession.

Regarding the research and development of some secret techniques, Yu Tiancheng provided many conjectures about the condensation of soul cores, which are just waiting for the other party to verify.

Just as the three were discussing, the previously calm atmosphere suddenly became violently turbulent!

Golden and dark purple lightning emanated from Wang Zhi and Yu Xiaohong, intertwining and erupting as if they were tangible, forming a powerful energy vortex that shot straight into the sky!

Under the tempering of the two top-grade immortal herbs, the aura of the two surged like a volcanic eruption, instantly breaking through the solid bottleneck and steadily stepping into the threshold of level eighty!

"It's done!" Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
