...
After giving Ning Rongrong a few sharp raps on the head and forcefully shattering the jumbled mess in her head, Xuan Hao led his group off in a grand procession, his mood not exactly pleasant.
The group first left the city and met Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were waiting there, at the gate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
Subsequently, Xuanhao bought a spacious and sturdy custom-made carriage and crammed all the beauties inside.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Hao exerted force with his feet, and his huge and solid blood energy burst out, actually lifting the entire heavy carriage.
He turned into a stream of light and flew at full speed towards the Sunset Forest!
Thanks to the rest and adjustment he had made in Tiandou City over the past two days, Xuan Hao's injuries from being hit by Tang Hao had stabilized considerably, and at least the circulation of his qi and blood was no longer a major problem.
Therefore, the girls sitting in the carriage did not feel any bumps or weightlessness; on the contrary, they felt an unusually smooth ride.
If it weren't for the scenery rushing past the carriage window, leaving afterimages, reminding them that they were flying at high speed, they might have had the illusion that the carriage was still stationary.
Before long, the poisonous array deep in the Sunset Forest came into view.
Xuan Hao skillfully navigated through the poisonous miasma and landed steadily in the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Actually, Yue Guan was still here a year ago.
That Chrysanthemum Douluo had a deep love for the exotic flowers and plants here, and enthusiastically served as the gardener every day.
But as time went on, and the flowers and plants were almost all planted, his carefree nature naturally made him bored, so he patted his behind and went back to Wuhun City to report back.
Anyway, with the great Dugu Bo here to keep things in check, if Xuan Hao really needs anything, he can just grab this old poisoner as a conscript.
As expected, as soon as Xuan Hao landed, Dugu Bo, who was cultivating in seclusion by the valley, was alerted.
The old poisoner appeared in front of everyone in a flash, but upon closer inspection, one after another, they saw that the people jumping out of the carriage were all delicate young girls.
Dugu Bo's lips twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.
"Hey kid, have you lost your mind?"
Dugu Bo glared at Xuan Hao and scolded him irritably, "Do you really think this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is some kind of scenic spot?
Do you think this is a place they can just come and play in?
This valley is filled with terrifying extreme cold and heat.
If you don't take a few breaths out of the water, you could damage your heart and lungs!
What are you doing bringing so many little girls here?"
"Don't get so excited." Xuan Hao waved his hand dismissively.
"They're just curious about one of these three treasure troves and insisted that I take them here to broaden their horizons."
At this point, Xuan Hao patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder and confidently assumed the role of a hands-off manager:
"However, I'm about to go into the pool for a closed-door training to reach level 70.
I can't take care of them, so I'll leave the safety of Na'er and the other girls entirely to you."
Then, Xuan Hao turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who were curiously looking around, and pointed to Dugu Bo and introduced him:
"You two, if you encounter any bottlenecks in your cultivation that you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask this old poison master.
He's a genuine level 95 Title Douluo now, with a very deep foundation.
Judging from his energetic appearance, he might even break through to level 96 in a few years."
"Level 95?!"
Upon hearing this number, even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, a clear look of bewilderment and shock flashing in her eyes.
She glanced at the green-haired old man in front of her, and said somewhat uncertainly, "But... don't the outside information and rumors say that Senior Poison Douluo... is only level ninety-one?"
"Hey, that's all outdated stuff from years ago!"
Xuan Hao began to boast to Dugu Bo without any reservation, "This old poisoner's martial soul has long since evolved into the top-tier Azure Dragon Emperor!
Its offensive and control abilities are now maxed out!"
"If we're talking about one-on-one combat strength, he can now basically go toe-to-toe with that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who's known as having the number one beast spirit in the world, and they can fight each other to a standstill!"
"Of course, if a large-scale battle were to break out... this old man would undoubtedly be an invincible existence on the Douluo Continent!"
"Once the deadly poison is released, everyone on the field will ascend to heaven!
Under the seal of authority, there is no chance of survival!"
Listening to Xuan Hao's grand boasting, Dugu Bo was not happy at all; on the contrary, he was extremely speechless, and his lips twitched violently twice.
"Don't flatter me like that!" Dugu Bo rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"You think you can just flatter me like this so I'll willingly stay here and be your nanny and help you take care of your kids?"
"I am good at killing, but not good at teaching!
If I really had the ability and patience to teach the younger generation step by step, why would I have sent Yan Yan to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to be subjected to that kind of discipline?"
Dugu Bo bluntly exposed Xuan Hao's little scheme, "It's fine to give them a few pointers when I'm in a good mood.
But if you really want me to take full charge of their cultivation, firstly, I don't have the time, and secondly, I don't have the ability to be a teacher!"
"Oh, old poison master, don't be so modest."
Xuan Hao chuckled and waved his hand, "You don't need to be their babysitter.
When they encounter problems in their cultivation, you can just give them some advice and guidance.
Each of them has their own clear cultivation direction and they're all very smart."
Dugu Bo sighed helplessly, his face full of frustration:
"I'm so bored in these deep mountains and forests, my bones are practically rusting.
I was just planning to take advantage of the good weather these past few days to go out and travel around the mainland.
But you, instead, you brought a whole carload of people to block my door!"
He glanced at Xuan Hao and asked, "Tell me, how long will it take you to break through to level 70 in this seclusion?"
"Don't worry, it won't delay your travel plans for too long."
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow confidently.
"Don't you know my cultivation speed?
It's very fast. It will only take a few months at most."
As he spoke, Xuan Hao took off the two soul tools from his hand and casually tossed them to Na'er, who was standing to the side.
"Na'er, do me a favor," Xuan Hao instructed.
"Take out the Blue Silver Emperor that's stored inside this soul tool and replant it."
After giving his last instructions, Xuan Hao ignored Dugu Bo's helpless expression and turned around to leap into the air!
"thump--"
Amidst the girls' hushed gasps, Xuan Hao's figure plunged unimpeded into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, which exuded terrifyingly cold and hot energy.
He was instantly swallowed up by the red and white spring water, disappearing without a trace without even a splash.
Na'er sighed softly, "I thought my brother would take off his clothes, but he just jumped down..."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong and the others also felt a little regretful.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused, and an incredulous blush appeared on her cool face.
Do you guys really have to be this thuggish?!
