Chapter 14: I Don't Have It, I'm Not, Don't Talk Nonsense!
"After some time, once Clan Master Yuanzhen calms down, prepare a gift and make a formal apology."
A true apology was out of the question; as long as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan accepted the gift, the matter would be considered resolved.
"Also, take the opportunity to observe the young one more closely."
This was Ning Fengzhi's true intent.
The fact that Yu Yuanzhen nearly came to blows over his adopted grandson indicated the boy's extraordinary significance.
With Yu Yuanzhen's protection, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan couldn't directly target Tiankong. Severing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's hope would drive Yu Yuanzhen to desperate measures.
It was well-known that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was facing a generational talent gap, a situation the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was also encountering.
None of the younger generation matched the caliber of Sword or Bone Douluo.
This generational gap was also present in their ranks.
As for Ning Rongrong, the most talented in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in a century, her case was secondary.
The direct line of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had supportive but non-combative martial spirits. To stand firm, they needed guardians.
Yet currently, there were no emerging talents fit to be guardians. Should Sword or Bone Douluo fall, the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would indeed be dire.
This was why Ning Fengzhi lamented not having an adopted son like Tiankong.
With innate full soul power, if nothing went awry, being raised by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would almost certainly make becoming a Titled Douluo a matter of a few decades.
Regrettably, a mere comment had offended Yu Yuanzhen...
"It's crucial to keep an eye on this boy; his innate soul power is definitely more than level ten!"
Chen Xin nodded in agreement.
Level ten? How long had it been?
Counting from the day of the boy's martial soul awakening, at most, it had been half a year.
To transition from innate full soul power to the soul power fluctuations of a Soul Honor in just half a year was unheard of. Even six years might not suffice.
What a monster!
Switching to Yu Yuanzhen and Tiankong's situation...
"Grandpa, that Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin don't seem like good people!" Tiankong spoke up before Yu Yuanzhen could.
He knew Yu Yuanzhen would bring up the incident, as the sudden change of face needed an explanation to prevent the child from feeling confused.
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was momentarily taken aback, then laughed and said, "Tiankong, those two put on such a virtuous front. How could you tell they aren't good people?"
"That old man's look gave him away. There was a moment I felt like he wanted to say, 'This child has exceptional talent, if he cannot be of use to us, then he can only...'"
Tiankong touched his non-existent beard, imitating Chen Xin.
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but laugh, believing fully that Chen Xin would say such a thing.
These matters were open secrets; there was no need to hide them.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, they wouldn't dare step out of line!"
Yu Yuanzhen declared assertively.
Even with Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi teaming up, who would win in an actual fight was still debatable.
If it really came down to a fight to the death, he could drag Chen Xin or someone else from the Gu Rong with him to the grave!
Essentially, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was propped up by Yu Yuanzhen alone.
The elders like Yu Luomian were merely not causing trouble, which was about the best that could be expected.
Tiankong glanced at Yu Yuanzhen, his lips twitching as he thought about what would happen in ten or so years...
Better not think about it!
With him around, Yu Yuanzhen would surely not die.
Suddenly, Tiankong seemed to remember something and turned to Yu Yuanzhen, "Grandpa, do you know Poison Douluo Dugu Bo?"
With Yu Yuanzhen's talent, and perhaps with the aid of one or two immortal herbs, it wouldn't be surprising if he broke through to level ninety-seven or ninety-eight in a few years.
Yu Yuanzhen now feels more secure about his own safety. Even though he's not a match for Bibi Dong, he should be able to easily handle the ordinary elders of the Spirit Hall.
Moreover, once Yu Yuanzhen advances to level 98, those who dare to challenge him will need to think twice.
"I know Dugu Bo, but not very well."
Dugu Bo, without a family or backing, is considered a "wild" Titled Douluo.
His strength is only at level 91, a level that Yu Yuanzhen doesn't even consider a threat.
The Dugu family once existed, but now only Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan remain.
The others are all gone.
They weren't murdered; they died from their own poison.
Of course, Yu Yuanzhen doesn't know about this.
"Grandfather, someone told me that Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, has a precious land that can enhance our strength," Tiankong said indifferently, as if someone had actually told him this.
But Yu Yuanzhen believed it! He had no choice, given Tiankong's significant background.
The person who told Tiankong this must have been a deity, right?
The God of Thunder: "I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"
Beelzebub: "I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh? Dugu Bo actually has such good stuff? Should we go and rob it now?"
"Ahem, go and take it…"
Yu Yuanzhen scratched his head; he was used to robbing in his younger days and almost set a bad example for the kids.
"Yeah, that person also said that if we help Dugu Bo with his poisoning, we should be able to subdue him and then also acquire that precious land."
Typical of you, always ready to steal…
Although Tiankong also wanted to do this, after some thought, he decided to help Dugu Bo.
The man is quite pitiable.
"I see."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded without any doubt.
After all, Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo. Even if his strength is a bit weaker, his deterrent power is not something a few Soul Douluos can match.
If they can subdue him, then all the better.
"Rest for a day, and tomorrow we'll meet this Poison Douluo."
Yu Yuanzhen's plan is simple: if Dugu Bo cooperates as Tiankong suggested, then all is well.
If Dugu Bo does not cooperate, then they will have no choice but to offend him!
Tiankong was talking about something that could enhance their strength, not just an item for Tiankong alone.
They didn't know before, but now that they do, how could they possibly give up?
Truly a child of god, even a bit of information can benefit a super Douluo like him.
Once Tiankong grows up, maybe Yu Yuanzhen could even become a spokesperson for a deity! That would be the biggest benefit!
Time flies, and the next day quickly comes.
An old man and a young boy walk out of the inn and head toward Dugu Bo's residence in Tian Dou City.
Last night was not just for resting. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in Tian Dou City also had people.
They had them investigate Dugu Bo's residence thoroughly, so they could go directly to his door the next day.
Today, Dugu Bo just happened to return from the Sunset Forest…
