Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 55 Dugu Yan

"ha?!"

The scene was deathly silent, with only a gentle breeze causing the leaves to sway slightly.

The sunlight shone on everyone, reflecting the incredulous expressions on their faces.

Although Dugu Bo's voice was soft, it resounded like thunder in the ears of everyone at Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others seemed to be frozen in place, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an ostrich egg.

Tang San thought he could befriend Dugu Bo and help him create more powerful hidden weapons to take revenge.

But now he discovers that the person in question is actually the apprentice of his enemy, Lan Minghua.

The expression on his face at that moment was absolutely hilarious.

Lan Minghua looked at Tang San with a mocking expression; his little scheme had long been seen through.

However, when Lan Minghua turned around and saw Oscar's uncultured and ignorant attitude, he was immediately furious.

Because Oscar's expression was even more exaggerated than Tang San's.

Lan Minghua raised his hand and, with a "bang," punched him directly on the head.

"Your junior brother called for help, why are you, as the senior brother, acting like you're mute?"

Oscar covered his head and awkwardly introduced himself: "Um, Third Junior Brother, my name is Oscar."

Oscar was already sweating profusely after calling a titled Douluo his junior brother.

However, Dugu Bo did not find anything wrong with it.

Since Oscar is Lan Minghua's eldest disciple, he is Lan Minghua's rightful senior brother.

"Zhu Zhuqing".

"Meng Yiran".

After regaining their senses, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran introduced themselves.

Dugu Bo responded to each question without any airs of a titled Douluo.

Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Lan Minghua shook his head with amusement.

He then chuckled softly, "Old poisoner, you should just call them by their names. It might not bother you, but it certainly bothers me."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was overjoyed; he still had some sense of shame.

He immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Alright, all of you, come with me. Don't just stand here like an idiot and get stared at like a monkey."

Lan Minghua led Dugu Bo and his group away, leaving Tang San and the others speechless.

As he left, Lan Minghua glanced at Flander, seemingly unintentionally.

Just now, someone approached him and handed him something.

However, all of Flander's actions were within Lan Minghua's expectations, and he also knew who Flander had just been in contact with.

As for Flander's choice, Lan Minghua will not interfere.

Unfortunately, Flander didn't see the look in Lan Minghua's eyes before he left, and thought that the other person knew nothing.

"What should I do? Should I pass on the message for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or pretend I didn't see it?" Flander was very conflicted.

Just now, the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School found him and gave him a letter to pass on to Tang San.

He was promised a generous reward from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after the matter was accomplished.

However, if he were to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School send a message, it would be tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Lan Minghua.

As a businessman, he neither wanted to stand against Lan Minghua, nor did he want to earn the generous rewards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw; greed often leads people to make wrong choices.

Lan Minghua knew everything, but he did not stop Flander.

After all, everyone has their own path, and why should I care about the path others choose?

If Flanders chooses the wrong path, then Lan Minghua cannot be blamed.

Lan Minghua led Dugu Bo and his group to a secluded spot, where they all sat down.

Looking at the uneasy Dugu Bo, Lan Minghua asked calmly.

"With your connections, you must have known about the major events that happened a while ago. What, aren't you afraid?"

As an honored guest of the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Bo learned of Ning Fengzhi's death almost immediately.

The Heavenly Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have a close relationship and can be considered to share weal and woe.

To attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be to make an enemy of the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

Dugu Bo knew about these things, but still chose to bring Dugu Yan to find Lan Minghua.

"As your disciple, I would never betray you. You have changed the fate of my clan, and this immense kindness can only be repaid with my lifelong loyalty."

Dugu Bo knew it was time to choose sides.

His abilities may not be outstanding, but if others underestimate him, it could cause irreparable damage.

As I said before, never underestimate any Title Douluo.

Lan Minghua chuckled softly and said calmly, "Stop with the 'mushy' talk. I know you're loyal. Now, what do you need me for?"

Seeing that his little scheme had been seen through, Dugu Bo made no attempt to hide it.

He pointed at Dugu Yan and said awkwardly, "Master, what do you think of Yan Yan's talent? Is she qualified to be your disciple?"

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Dugu Yan was stunned. Dugu Bo had never told her that he had come to become a disciple.

Lan Minghua was speechless, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"No, Dugu Bo, you old geezer, do you really want your granddaughter to be your peer?"

The latest novel is first published here!

When Lan Minghua had just taken Dugu Bo under his wing, he discovered that Dugu Bo had this idea.

Surprisingly, even after so much time has passed, he still hasn't given up on this idea.

Seeing that Lan Minghua did not respond for a long time, Dugu Bo knelt down on one knee in front of him.

"Master, she is my only relative. Yan Yan is safest when she stays by your side. For my sake, please take her in."

Dugu Bo did not hide his tracks on this trip, and he just revealed his soul power.

Those forces that have been monitoring Shrek Academy must have discovered Dugu Bo's identity.

Perhaps they didn't know what kind of relationship existed between Dugu Bo and Lan Minghua.

However, as long as anything is mentioned, whether good or bad, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall will define them as enemies.

After all, Lan Minghua is currently unlucky; anyone who touches him will suffer.

Lan Minghua knew that Dugu Bo's concerns were not unfounded; he himself could not protect Dugu Yan on his own.

However, he has three criteria for accepting apprentices, and they are the same for everyone.

After some thought, Lan Minghua decided to first examine Dugu Yan's talent.

"System, check Dugu Yan's talent rating."

Name: Dugu Yan.

Age: 20. (This is the age I found online; please feel free to point out any discrepancies.)

[Martial Soul: Azure Serpent (Emperor)]

[Soul Power: Level 38]

[Talent Rating: 75]

"A talent rating of 75? Well, that's to be expected."

Lan Minghua had no objection to this rating.

Dugu Yan was only at level 38 in soul power at the age of 20, so her talent score should have been even lower.

After all, without relying on external forces or slacking off, Dai Mubai was already at level 37 at the age of 15, and his talent score was only 85.

However, it is still possible for Dugu Yan to become Lan Minghua's apprentice.

Don't forget the Immortal Herb; it can enhance the talents of others.

Among them, the Qiluo Tulip has the effect of stimulating the potential of a martial soul and helping it to transform into a higher level.

Dugu Yan's martial soul, the Azure Serpent, clearly has a higher-level form, namely the Azure Serpent Emperor.

However, he still wanted to test Dugu Yan's character; he wouldn't accept an ingrate.

Her boyfriend is none other than Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

If the three upper sects are truly of one mind, then the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is also an enemy of the Heavenly Dragon Gang.

If a fight breaks out, Lan Minghua doesn't want any betrayal in his personal relationships.

Lan Minghua coughed lightly and said, "Dugu Yan, I have a few questions for you. If your answers satisfy me, I will accept you as my disciple."

Seeing that there was hope, Dugu Bo quickly pulled Dugu Yan over, "Yan Yan, this concerns the survival of the Dugu family. You must answer your master's questions carefully."

"Yes, Grandpa, I understand," Dugu Yan said softly.

Lan Minghua stared into Dugu Yan's eyes and asked the first question.

"If one day I asked you to kill your boyfriend, would you do it?"
