Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 55 is such a blockhead, both stupid and cowardly.

With Dugu Bodi gone, only Dugu Yan and Ji Wuming remained inside the tent. The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Ji Wuming spoke first.

"Little sister, let's go to sleep!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan became even more lost in thought, shyly grabbing and playing with her hand. Only then did Ji Wuming realize that he might have said the wrong thing again.

"I can't worry about that now, I'll just go to sleep!"

Ji Wuming placed his right hand directly on Dugu Boyan's body, startling her. She became extremely nervous, thinking, "Brother Ji is going to kiss me. Should I respond? Otherwise, Grandpa will scold him later."

She slowly closed her eyes, leaning her body towards Ji Wuming. Suddenly, as if resisted, her body was quickly straightened, then tilted to the side, and the two lay face to face on the simple beds.

"Little sister, go to sleep!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan quickly opened her eyes, looking at Ji Wuming with the anger one would show when facing an opponent, and then smiled awkwardly.

Is Wuming afraid of death this season? Grandpa has been valuing you all this time. Don't you understand his meaning? Even if you do something out of line with me, he won't really hit you. Is it necessary to be so rule-abiding? You're such a blockhead, both stupid and cowardly.

Dugu Yan immediately turned around, her back to Ji Wuming, arms crossed, her mind racing with anticipation for his next move.

"I'll give you one more chance. If you don't extend your hand, I... I'll..."

Before Dugu Yan could finish her thought, a sound rang out, and Ji Wuming turned around, his back to her. Dugu Yan was expecting something, but after waiting a long time, Ji Wuming still didn't move. She pretended to be uncomfortable, as if she wanted to turn over, and looked at Ji Wuming to see what was wrong with him.

She turned around and found that the distance between them was almost two meters. This filled her eyes with anger, and she wished she could poison him right now and kill this cowardly man.

Suddenly, a snoring sound rang out, igniting Dugu Yan's anger to its peak.

"I'm not asleep yet, how dare you, a coward, sleep so soundly?"

He kicked Ji Wuming hard in the back.

"Who is it? Who dares to kick me?"

Just as Ji Wuming had finally calmed down and fallen asleep, he was jolted awake by this heavy kick.

Ji Wuming turned around and saw Dugu Yan standing motionless with her back to him. Her right leg was swung backward at a full 70 degrees. Helpless, he moved a few steps to the left, lay down again, and muttered to himself,

"This girl's sleeping posture is really ugly. If I marry her in the future, I'd better pay more attention to her. It would be best to tie her legs up."

Seeing Ji Wuming so bewildered, Dugu Yan finally felt relieved and fell asleep as well.

Meanwhile, 200 miles away, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan...

An imposing old man with a white beard looked at Yu Tianheng, who was lying on the bed indignantly, and crushed a corner of the stone bed with his fingers, saying angrily,

"What a pair of bastards, Ji Wuming and that old poisoner! How dare they severely injure my grandson like this! If I, Yu Yuanzhen, don't get my revenge, I'm not the Thunder Douluo!"

"Brother, Dugu Bo is someone our sect has been trying hard to win over. If the two families are hurt because of this, it will be troublesome. Besides, Tian Heng's injuries are no longer serious, so there is no need for you to personally take action."

Yu Luomian looked at the hot-tempered Yu Yuanzhen with concern. Winning over Dugu Bo was like giving the sect a thousand more troops. Moreover, injuries were inevitable in sparring. If anyone was to blame, it was Yu Tianheng for being useless.

"Luo Mian, now a nobody has suddenly appeared and is being valued by that old poison master. If this continues, will Tian Heng still be able to marry Dugu Yan? Will Dugu Bo still stand on the side of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Yu Yuanzhen grew angrier as he spoke. Tian Heng was his grandson, and if he didn't teach that kid a lesson, wouldn't everyone in the Soul Master world be able to trample on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the future?

"Luo Mian, I'll leave the affairs of the sect to you and Yao'er. Once Tian Heng has recovered from his injuries, I'll take him to Tian Dou City to settle accounts with him."

…………

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's resolute demeanor, Yu Luomian stopped trying to stop him from settling scores with Dugu Bo. He had already tried to dissuade him, but the sect leader wouldn't listen; what else could he do? Only in this way would it be most advantageous for their collateral branch.

Yu Yuanzhen was too biased, allowing his grandson Yu Tianxin to absorb the external soul bone purchased with half of the sect's wealth.

That was an extremely rare external soul bone. Since the sect leader couldn't treat everyone fairly, he let things take their natural course, which prevented Yu Tianheng from marrying Dugu Yan and thus from gaining the support of a Title Douluo.

Therefore, as long as he makes more contributions within the sect, relying on his position as the sect's number two, he will surely be able to make Tianxin the new sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in the future.

…………

In the latter half of the night, inside Thunder Canyon,

As a clap of thunder sounded in the sky, Ji Wuming sat bolt upright with a start. Looking at Dugu Yan, who was sleeping soundly sprawled out beside him, his anxious heart finally calmed down.

"Thank goodness it was just a dream!"

Ji Wuming got up and walked towards Dugu Bo, who was sitting around the campfire outside.

"You can go inside and get some sleep, it's my turn to keep watch for the second half of the night!"

"You're not so bad after all, you didn't do anything to Yan Yan."

Dugu Bo handed Ji Wuming a grilled fish, then continued,

The latest novel is first published here!

"I can still manage a mere night watch, but you should go to sleep! I'll get you another invitation letter when you return to Tiandou City the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, senior."

Looking at the lightning that constantly crackled and raged in Thunder Canyon, Ji Wuming hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"Senior, I want to cultivate in this environment for a while before going to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"This place is far too dangerous. Not only are there numerous ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but it's also too close to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. We'll encounter their disciples frequently. If I'm not here, you're very likely to be captured or killed by them!"

Dugu Bo looked worried. He couldn't stay by Ji Wuming's side all the time. Only by sending him to Tiandou City could he better protect his safety.

"Senior, I understand what you're saying, but this is indeed the most suitable place for me to cultivate. Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."

Ji Wuming still refused to give up such a good cultivation place, as it was related to the further strengthening of his physique and was also the key to whether he could absorb a 10-year soul ring in the future.

While thunderstorms may occur elsewhere, none possess the same intensity as those here.
