Chapter 53 Breaking Through Level 40, Dugu Bo Emerges from Seclusion!
Ye Tianchen didn't know what sounds would appear in Dugu Yan's mind, but he had seen Dugu Yan's second spirit ring change from a hundred years to a thousand years.
Moreover, she had become more and more cheerful.
It was early morning on this day.
Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged on a blue stone next to the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes, with golden lightning slowly flowing around his body.
He had been cultivating here for three whole hours, his breathing steady and long.
Suddenly, the lightning on his body began to fluctuate violently.
The golden arcs of electricity surged wildly into his body as if drawn by some force.
At the same time, his spirit power began to rise at a visible rate.
"boom--!"
A powerful surge of spirit energy erupted from his body, stirring up a gust of wind!
Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, and a flash of golden lightning disappeared from them.
Level 40.
He finally broke through to level 40.
He only needed to acquire one more suitable spirit ring to become a four-ring spirit master.
Ye Tianchen stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt the even more surging spirit power within his body.
The medicinal power of the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was further absorbed during his more than a month of cultivation, making his foundation more solid.
"Congratulations."
A crisp voice came from behind.
Ye Tianchen turned around and saw Dugu Yan standing not far away, her short purple hair draped over her shoulders, a faint smile on her lips.
"Your cultivation speed is too fast."
A sense of pressure appeared on Dugu Yan's face.
"I'm only level 40, while you're already a level 46 Soul Master."
Ye Tianchen chuckled and shook his head.
"That's different."
Dugu Yan said earnestly.
"How old are you? How long have you been cultivating? How long have I been cultivating? At this rate, you'll leave me far behind in less than two years."
She paused, then suddenly leaned closer, her purple eyes staring straight at him.
"Don't forget me when the time comes."
Ye Tianchen looked at the face so close to his own, and saw the earnest yet expectant light in her eyes, and his heart softened.
"I won't forget."
He said.
Dugu Yan smiled with satisfaction, revealing her two sharp little tiger teeth.
Just then—
A terrifying aura erupted from the wooden house perched on the cliff.
The aura was as vast as the sea, carrying a suffocating pressure, like a sleeping dragon suddenly awakening.
Ye Tianchen and Dugu Yan's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they abruptly turned their heads to look in the direction from which the aura was coming—
That was where Dugu Bo went into seclusion!
"Grandfather!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise and ran off in that direction.
Ye Tianchen unfurled the Thunder God's Wings behind him, spread his arms to encircle Dugu Yan's serpentine waist, and with a gentle flap of his wings, transformed into lightning and charged towards the cliff.
Landing steadily on the protruding stone platform on the cliff, through the wooden door shattered by the aura, a dark green figure sat cross-legged in the wooden house, surrounded by a rich emerald light.
His eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was erratic. The emerald light surrounding him was gradually receding and flowing into his body.
Finally, the light completely faded.
Dugu Bo opened his eyes.
Feeling the ever-spinning emerald poison pill inside his body, his palm, which had been pointing upwards, unconsciously clenched.
"It's a success..." he murmured, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement, "It really is a success..."
The venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent in his body had accumulated for over seventy years, making it more than ten times heavier than that in Dugu Yan's body.
He originally thought that even if there was a method to create a poison pill, it would take at least half a year to fully condense it.
Unexpectedly, it only took a little over a month to succeed!
and.....
He felt the spirit power surging within him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Level 93!
He broke through the bottleneck of level 92 that he had been stuck at for eight long years!
After being promoted to Title Douluo, each advancement to a higher level took ten years. This advancement saved him at least ten years of arduous training!
"Grandfather!"
Dugu Yan rushed forward excitedly and hugged her grandfather tightly.
"You did it! You did it!"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily and vigorously ruffled his granddaughter's hair.
"Thanks to that kid."
He looked at Ye Tianchen standing to the side, his eyes full of admiration.
"Kid, I, Dugu Bo, owe you a huge favor."
Ye Tianchen smiled slightly.
"You flatter me, senior. It is my honor to be able to help you."
Dugu Bo nodded, about to say something—
His gaze suddenly swept over the herb garden, and then he froze.
"Wait..."
He released his granddaughter and strode towards the edge of the stone platform, his face growing increasingly grim.
It was empty, a huge empty area, and it was all filled with herbs from the vicinity of the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes!
His gaze swept across the entire herb garden, his face growing increasingly dark.
"Kid!"
Dugu Bo turned around abruptly and stared intently at Ye Tianchen.
"Did you steal my herbs again?!"
Ye Tianchen was stunned. Before he could explain, Dugu Bo had already erupted in fury.
"You little thief! You stole two of my immortal herbs last time, and I didn't hold it against you because of Yan Yan! Now you've gone even further, haven't you?!"
He raised his hand, his spirit power surged, and the pressure of a level 93 Title Douluo poured down like a mountain and a sea!
"Today I'll show you what happens when you steal from me, Dugu Bo!"
"Grandpa, no!"
A slender figure suddenly rushed forward, spread her arms, and stood firmly in front of Ye Tianchen!
Dugu Yan.
She tilted her head back, meeting her grandfather's gaze, a gaze that would chill anyone to the bone, and refused to budge an inch.
"You can't touch him!"
Dugu Bo froze.
He stared at his granddaughter, at her stubborn little face, at the undisguised determination in her eyes.
"Yanyan..."
His voice was a little hoarse.
"Get out of my way."
"I won't allow it!"
Dugu Yan's voice grew louder.
"Grandpa, if you're going to hit him, hit me first!"
Dugu Bo was stunned.
He looked at his granddaughter, then at the boy behind her, and then at his granddaughter's stubborn face, and suddenly understood something.
For over a month... a lone man and a lone woman... spending every day together...
Dugu Bo's expression became complicated.
There was anger, helplessness, regret, and a touch of... indescribable bitterness.
"Yan Yan."
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice.
"When did you and him... start...?"
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Dugu Yan's face flushed red.
"We have nothing! We're just... we're just friends!"
"Friend?"
Dugu Bo stared at her bright red ears, his lips twitching.
"You're protecting him like this, my friend?"
Dugu Yan opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't utter a word.
Her face turned even redder.
Looking at his granddaughter's appearance, Dugu Bo felt a mix of emotions.
Before he went into seclusion, he wanted his granddaughter to spend more time with Ye Tianchen, since that kid had helped them a lot.
But he never expected that just over a month later, his granddaughter would...
If he had been in seclusion for seven or eight years, he probably would have had children by now!
