Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

"Young master, young lady, I'm so sorry to have disturbed you. My young lady is still young, please forgive me."

"It's nothing," Xue Di smiled.

Although she is usually cold and aloof, she is still very happy to hear children's heartfelt praise.

Xue Di turned to look at the little girl and said with a faint smile, "Little sister, thank you for your praise. You are very cute, and you will definitely grow up to be very beautiful."

"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true." Xue Di nodded slightly. "But little sister, I have something to attend to right now, so I'll be leaving now."

"Ah..." the little girl said with some reluctance, "Pretty sister, will we ever see each other again?"

"Perhaps." Xue Di smiled slightly and gently patted the little girl's head. "Alright, I'm leaving now. See you again someday."

"Okay, goodbye pretty sister. Oh, by the way," the little girl suddenly changed the subject, "my name is Dugu Yan, please remember me, sister."

"Your name is Dugu Yan?" Su Mo, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up. "Was your grandfather named Dugu Bo?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan looked at Su Mo beside Xue Di with a puzzled expression: "Yes, does big brother know my grandfather?"

"I'd say we know each other."

Su Mo raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected to run into Dugu Bo's granddaughter on the street.

Speaking of which, Su Mo had almost forgotten about Dugu Bo. After all, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in this life had long been occupied by the Spirit Hall, and he hadn't encountered Dugu Bo even after so many years.

"Can we say we know each other? So, do we know each other or not?" Dugu Yan's little head was full of questions.

Su Mo smiled and asked, "Yan Yan, where is your grandfather now?"

Dugu Yan shook her head: "I don't know. Grandpa has been gone for many days and hasn't come back yet."

Su Mo nodded. He roughly guessed what Dugu Bo had gone to do; he was probably looking for a way to detoxify.

Su Mo said, "Yan Yan, when your grandfather comes back, tell him that if he wants what he wants, he should come to Wuhun City to find me."

Although Su Mo didn't care about Dugu Bo, the future Title Douluo, he had just happened to meet Dugu Yan, which was a kind of fate, so Su Mo planned to take over the Dugu family as well.

“Ah…” Dugu Yan was stunned, clearly not understanding what Su Mo meant.

Su Mo smiled and said, "Yan Yan, just relay my words truthfully. Your grandfather will understand. Then, you might be able to see this beautiful sister again."

"Mmm." Dugu Yan nodded repeatedly.

"Let's go, Xue'er." Su Mo withdrew his gaze and looked at Xue Di beside him.

Xue Di nodded gently, took Su Mo's arm, and the two walked away.

Dugu Yan watched the two figures disappear completely before turning her gaze away.

"Sister Qing'er, let's go back too," Dugu Yan instructed the maid beside her.

“Yes, Miss,” the maid replied.

Dugu Yan and her companion immediately headed towards the Dugu residence.

……

three days later.

Kamikaze Academy, Dean's Office.

At this moment, two figures were sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

It was Shui Lingyue, the dean of Tianshui Academy, and Feng Changkong, the dean of Shenfeng Academy.

Just then, a figure pushed open the door and entered.

The newcomer was a burly old man with short, fiery red hair, a resolute face, and dressed in a fiery red outfit.

This person is none other than the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, named Huo Chen, whose martial soul is the One-Horned Fiery Dragon. He is currently a level 79 Power Attack-type Soul Saint.

Huo Chen laughed loudly, walked to the sofa and sat down: "Haha, old man Feng, Dean Shui, it's been almost a year, how have you been?"

Shui Lingyue smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Old man Huo, it's been a year, how come you still haven't broken through to Soul Douluo?" Feng Changfeng teased.

Both of them were originally Soul Saints at level 79, but Feng Changkong broke through to Soul Douluo half a year ago.

Huo Chen snorted coldly: "Old man Feng, don't be so smug. One day I will surpass you."

Feng Changkong laughed heartily: "Then I'll wait and see."

"Just you wait, Blazing Fire Academy will definitely win the Five Elements Academy Exchange Tournament this time. Let's see how smug you are then." Huo Chen retorted defiantly.

"Alright, alright, you two old folks, you're all getting on in years, all you do is bicker." Shui Lingyue shook her head helplessly.

Huo Chen and Feng Changkong then stopped arguing.

Just then, a spatial fluctuation suddenly occurred in the office.

Three figures walked out.

It was Su Mo, Xue Di, and Xiao Bai.

They spent three days exploring Heaven Dou City, visiting almost every street and alley before leaving to return to Martial Soul City.

Therefore, his purpose in coming here was to bring Feng Xiaotian along.

At this moment, Shui Lingyue, Feng Changkong, and Huo Chen, who were chatting idly, all stood up the instant they saw Su Mo and his two companions, each with a different expression.

Feng Changkong's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became somewhat unnatural. After all, the Feng family was currently secretly submitting to the Spirit Hall, a fact unknown to outsiders.

But now that Su Mo has suddenly arrived, and his two friends are still here, this matter probably can't be kept secret any longer.

Shui Lingyue's gaze fell on Feng Changkong's face, as if she were deep in thought.

She didn't expect Su Mo to appear in Shenfeng Academy. Could it be that the Feng family, like their Shui family, had secretly submitted to the Spirit Hall?

As for Huo Chen, he looked at Su Mo and the other two with a wary expression.

"What? Don't you two deans recognize me?" Su Mo said calmly, looking at Shui Lingyue and Feng Changkong, who were standing there in a daze.

Shui Lingyue and Feng Changkong both felt a jolt in their hearts.

He quickly bowed to Su Mo: "Your Highness, this subordinate greets you!"

"No need for formalities," Su Mo said calmly.

Shui Lingyue and Feng Changkong then straightened up.

The two looked at each other.

Feng Changkong was shocked; he hadn't expected the Shui family to also submit to the Spirit Hall.

Shui Lingyue understood perfectly, and was completely certain of her guess.

"What...what's going on here? And who are they?" Huo Chen asked, his face full of confusion.

"This must be Dean Huo of Blazing Fire Academy, right?" Su Mo asked.

“That’s right.” Huo Chen nodded.

"Dean Feng, tell Dean Huo about the current situation. There's no need to hide anything," Su Mo said to Feng Changkong.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Feng Changkong nodded, then looked at Huo Chen, took a deep breath, and recounted in detail Su Mo's background, the Spirit Hall's plan to unify the continent, when their Feng family submitted to the Spirit Hall, and Feng Xiaotian's upcoming trip to Spirit City to become a disciple.

Chapter 255 Blazing Fire Submits

"What?! You actually secretly joined the Spirit Hall without telling me?"

Huo Chen was completely taken aback after hearing Feng Changkong's explanation.

He never expected that the young man in front of him was actually Su Mo, the legendary Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

Huo Chen had heard of Su Mo before, and he knew that Su Mo's strength was unfathomable.

What Huo Chen never expected was...

The Spirit Hall actually harbored ambitions to unify the continent, and even the Feng and Shui families secretly submitted to the Spirit Hall without his knowledge.

“Old man Huo… I didn’t mean to hide it from you. You know I’m currently in the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Feng family controls the Divine Wind Academy and Divine Wind City. If the Heaven Dou Empire finds out that the Feng family has submitted to the Spirit Hall, there will probably be big trouble.”

Feng Changkong looked somewhat embarrassed at this moment, after all, they had been friends for decades, and Shenfeng, Tianshui, and Chihuo had always been on good terms and had a close relationship.

But now, he has secretly submitted to the Spirit Hall without telling his close friend.

This inevitably made Feng Changkong feel a little guilty.

“Yes, Dean Huo, we were indeed in the wrong, but this matter is of great importance, and we hope Dean Huo can understand,” Shui Lingyue echoed.

Huo Chen sighed, "I can naturally understand your difficulties."

Huo Chen was, after all, the head of the family and the dean of Blazing Fire Academy. He had seen his share of ups and downs, so even though he usually had a fiery temper, he could understand Feng Changkong and Shui Lingyue's predicament at this moment.

After all, they each have a large family and an academy behind them, and they bear great responsibilities that cannot be taken lightly.

If it were him, he would probably make the same choice.

Of course, the main reason was that Huo Chen was wary of Su Mo's strength, and he dared not act rashly in the slightest.

At this moment, Su Mo spoke up: "Dean Huo, now that you know the Spirit Hall's plan, make your choice."

He hadn't originally planned to subdue the Blazing Academy, but since he'd encountered them, he figured he might as well subdue them as well, since it wouldn't be a loss for him.

Upon hearing this, Huo Chen frowned deeply.

I never expected that my team, which I was so happy to lead in the Five Elements Exchange Competition, would end up like this...

"Old man Huo, don't hesitate, agree to His Highness's request. There will inevitably be a battle between Heaven Dou and the Spirit Hall. You can't really stay out of it. Besides, our three families have always stood together through thick and thin. I don't want to become your enemy in the future," Feng Changkong advised.

“Yes, Dean Huo, Dean Feng is right, just agree,” Shui Lingyue added, urging him on.

Huo Chen sighed helplessly, "Fine, I agree."

Huo Chen knew very well that he had learned of the Spirit Hall's important plan, and if he didn't agree to join, the consequences would be unimaginable, so he had no other choice.

"Hahaha, old man Huo, welcome to the team! We can fight side by side again from now on," Feng Changkong laughed loudly.

"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you later for keeping such a big secret."

After Huo Chen finished speaking, he bowed to Su Mo and said, "Your Highness, I, Huo Chen, pay my respects."
