"Hahaha, scared now, are you?"
"Not so arrogant anymore, huh?"
Hearing Dean Flanders' words, Avalanche laughed.
At the same time, he released the hand that was gripping Prince Xue Xing's sleeve, swept his gaze over Dean Flanders and others, and said in a deep voice, "Men will become slaves, women will be maidservants, and as for that person who just made a move against me..."
When he brought up Qin Xiao, the hatred in Avalanche's eyes intensified, "If I don't have him flayed and dismembered, it won't quell the hatred in my heart."
He spoke softly.
After hearing Avalanche's words, everyone was rendered silent by his sheer audacity. Is this what they call the ignorance of the fearless?
At the same time, they were also curious, how does one go about flaying and dismembering a Titled Douluo? In how many steps...…
Hiss...
What the hell, you dare say anything, even flaying and dismembering a Titled Douluo?
If you're so impressive, why don't you ascend to heaven?
Not even your father would dare to utter such words, let alone you!
Prince Xue Xing was infuriated beyond endurance and could no longer hold back. He raised his foot and viciously kicked Avalanche.
In contrast, Avalanche only felt as if he had been whisked through the clouds and then flown out of the Education Committee building.
"Make sure he is well guarded..."
After a moment of thought, Prince Xue Xing still felt unsure and yelled at the guards outside, "Seal his mouth too. I don't want to hear any sound from him starting now."
"Yes!"
Outside the Education Committee, the guards awaiting Prince Xue Xing responded solemnly.
"Uncle Wang, why is this happening... wu...."
At first, people could still hear Avalanche's wails, but soon his voice was completely cut off.
"A good-for-nothing, more than capable of ruining things than achieving them!"
Prince Xue Xing felt that Avalanche was completely useless now.
He had once instructed him to play the fool, but now he was more of a fool than a genuine one.
Immediately, he looked at Dean Flanders with an apologetic face, "Dean Flanders..."
"Prince His Highness, after careful consideration, we've concluded that we're just a bunch of country bumpkins, unfit for the public eye. A pastoral life, tending to horses and fields, suits us better..."
As Dean Flanders spoke, he also fist-bumped the Dream Divine Machine in thanks, "Thank you three commissioners for your warm hospitality. Goodbye."
With that, he left without looking back.
Zhao Wuji and the others followed closely behind.
...
The Sky Dou Royal Academy was vast, and Qin Xiao easily found a deserted spot.
Du Gu Bo followed closely, "My lord, there is no one around, you can speak freely now."
Du Gu Bo frowned slightly, actually quite curious in his heart what Qin Xiao meant.
Now he faintly believed that Qin Xiao had come prepared.
"To be frank, I intend to make a transaction with you."
Qin Xiao didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly to Du Gu Bo.
Although he was no saint, he had his own principles. He would not stoop to robbery or theft.
Besides, those who read the original work know that there's a Pot of Ying-Yang in Sunset Forest. But the forest is so vast; where would he go to find this Pot of Ying-Yang?
"A transaction with me?"
Du Gu Bo raised his eyebrows, quite astonished by Qin Xiao's proposition.
"What do you want to get, and what do I get in return?"
Even though he didn't want to engage in any transaction with Qin Xiao, he was very eager to know Qin Xiao's true purpose.
Qin Xiao said, "I can help you cure the Green Kirin Snake Poison in your body."
What!
How does he know my secret?
Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo was first shocked. Then a flash of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."
"You don't understand?"
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Then let me ask you. Every time it's cloudy and rainy, do you feel an itchy sensation on both sides of your ribs? And late at night, around the third watch, do you experience a stabbing pain like needles on the top of your head and the soles of your feet, with your whole body cramping?"
"How... how do you know that?" Overwhelmed by surprise, Du Gu Bo couldn't contain himself and blurted out subconsciously.
```
He couldn't imagine how this youth, whom he had only met once, knew him so thoroughly?
But, after the shock had passed.
The intent to kill within his heart grew even stronger.
He couldn't allow his secrets to be held by an unrelated person; it was a fatal threat.
"I advise you to think twice about whether you can truly threaten me before you make a move," Qin Xiao said.
Qin Xiao watched Du Gu Bo's expressions closely, fearless and nonchalant, even turning away to gaze into the distant forest. "The Sky Dou Royal Academy really is a wonderful place..."
However.
Compared to Qin Xiao, who was observing the distant forests, Du Gu Bo's heart was anything but calm, or to put it better, he was struggling internally:
One voice kept saying, "Kill him, as long as you kill him, no one will know your secrets..."
Another voice argued, "Don't be rash, you're probably no match for him, and what if what he says is true? Besides, even if you do make a move, you can't defeat him."
But, could Qin Xiao really be trusted?
Du Gu Bo wasn't sure.
"Du Gu Bo, my time is limited, you don't have much time to consider," Qin Xiao mentioned, feeling it was time to put some pressure on Du Gu Bo.
In fact, he was absolutely determined to obtain the precious Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Polarized Eyes.
Firstly, Qin Xiao believed the Immortal Herbs could also boost his cultivation level.
Secondly, since he had already become an enemy of Tang Hao and his son, Tang San, it was even more imperative not to leave them any resources.
After getting his hands on the Immortal Herbs from the Icefire Polarized Eyes, the Boundless Universe Shield, the national treasure of the Tiandou Empire, would be his next target.
"Oh, right..."
Qin Xiao felt it was time to deliver a heavy blow to Du Gu Bo. "Du Gu Bo, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your granddaughter, would you?"
Yanyan?
At that instant, Du Gu Bo's mind was thrown into disarray.
Subconsciously, an image of Dugu Yan with a charming smile appeared in his mind.
"Yes, Yanyan is still so young, she has her whole life ahead of her, I can't let her walk the same path I did," he thought.
The softest part of Du Gu Bo's heart was touched, and he began to resist Qin Xiao less.
"If..."
"That is, if you can cure me, what must I give in return?" Du Gu Bo asked indifferently.
"Du Gu Bo, congratulations on making the wise decision," Qin Xiao said, turning around slowly, "Let's be clear, I've heard that you own a mansion filled with many precious Spiritual Medicines..."
"How do you know that?" exclaimed Du Gu Bo, his face turning pale with shock. "So, you're after the Spiritual Medicine in my mansion?"
Those medicines were, after all, crucial to his life.
If he really gave them to Qin Xiao...
Just the thought made him feel so heartbroken that he could barely breathe.
"Haha, you've misunderstood," Qin Xiao said with a chuckle, shaking his head.
"Phew..."
"That's a relief..." Du Gu Bo muttered, letting out a sigh of relief.
But his relief lasted less than two seconds.
The next sentence out of Qin Xiao's mouth almost dropped Du Gu Bo's jaw in astonishment:
"To be honest, I think your mansion is quite nice..."
Du Gu Bo was stunned, "What, you actually want my mansion?"
"Is it that difficult?" Qin Xiao queried.
"This, isn't that like asking for my life?" Du Gu Bo protested.
"Du Gu Bo, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your granddaughter, right?" Qin Xiao pressed.
...
There is one more chapter, but it will be late. Everyone can go to sleep early and read it tomorrow.
The mountain breeze blew in gusts.
Even Du Gu Bo felt a chill in his heart.
After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Fine, I agree."
"I knew you'd make the wise choice," Qin Xiao said, his lips tugging into a satisfied smile. "Actually, you don't need to feel too upset, once your poison is cured, what else do you need the medicinal garden for?"
Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo was taken aback—it made sense.
"But even if medicinal herbs become useless to me, I still have a great need for poisons," Du Gu Bo added.
Qin Xiao offered, "In that case, you can also choose what you need to take away. Or alternatively, cultivate them in my other residence."
"Really?" Du Gu Bo was overjoyed.
"Of course, it's true," Qin Xiao nodded. "As long as you are willing to pay, none of this is a problem."
Thump...
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Du Gu Bo almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This kid, he doesn't cut corners on deals at all.
...
This is the Ten Thousand Beast Academy. Although there are no Titled Douluo level powerhouses in the academy, the dean and the vice dean, a couple, are the famous World-covering Dragon Snake couple of Soul Land.
Together, they are comparable to a Titled Douluo, which also gives the Ten Thousand Beast Academy a certain reputation in Soul Land.
"Old man, how's the refining of Yiran's soul bone going?" asked Snake Granny, who found Long Gong in the principal's office, with concern in her voice.
"With the aid of my Soul Force Pressure, the fusion should be almost complete today. I left her at a secret location outside the academy. Even if others covet it, they will come up empty-handed," Long Gong said.
"The sooner, the better."
Snake Granny let out a sigh of relief, her expression complex as she said, "It's all my fault for not taking good care of Yiran. Before she fully mastered the attached soul bone, I let her spar with students from other academies, inadvertently exposing the soul bone. Although we've locked down the news, some students have still spread the message."
"Old lady, no need to blame yourself. You did it for Yiran's best, hoping that she could speed up the fusion of the attached soul bone through deployment, didn't you?" Long Gong consoled her. "Besides, Ten Thousand Beast Academy is not some tiny academy with just a few cats and kittens. When you add up all the teachers and students, we're several hundred strong. How could every single one keep their mouths shut?"
"Moreover, who would dare to come to our Ten Thousand Beast Academy to steal a soul bone? Old lady, don't be too nervous. After today, once Yiran completely fuses with the soul bone, she'll be safe. After all, attached soul bones, unlike others, don't drop even if one dies.
"Mm, I also think it'll be fine," said Snake Granny, extending a hand to grasp Long Gong's.
However, at that very moment, Long Gong's face suddenly changed.
"Old man, what's wrong?"
Snake Granny's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Someone's really here!" Long Gong said gravely.
...
"Ten Thousand Beast Academy is not a place you can just barge into," a pair of students blocked a person shrouded in a black cloak at the same time outside the academy's gates.
"Heh, even the Hall Warriors who guard Spirit City wouldn't dare speak to me like that."
Tang Hao, after hearing the gatekeeper students' words, let out a faint cold chuckle with a voice that was somewhat hoarse and mostly filled with disdain.
This time, he had come for Meng Yiran's soul bone, and with one thought, he knew that a peaceful approach wouldn't work.
Therefore, he had no reservations.
Bang!
He kicked one student away and then lifted another by the throat with one hand.
"Tell me, where's Meng Yiran?" he demanded.
"Yiran... Senior Yi Ran, I haven't seen her in the academy for several days now," said the young student, his face filled with terror as he struggled.
But.
It was destined to be futile.
If a Grand Soul Master could escape from Tang Hao's grasp, then Tang Hao had no reason to continue his ways.
"A Titled Douluo Level powerhouse stooping so low as to attack a Grand Soul Master, you shameless old hag, I've really seen it all now."
Suddenly, faint laughter came from a distance.
Tang Hao looked over, and two aged figures appeared in the distance.
"Dragon Duke, Snake Duchess?"
Tang Hao's voice remained hoarse, "You recognize me?"
"We do not." Dragon Duke shook his head.
By now, even Tang Hao's face was concealed by a black cloak, how could he possibly be recognized?
"But in the world of Soul Masters, who doesn't know that the Ten Thousand Beast Academy was founded by my wife and me?"
"Without being a Titled Douluo, who would have the guts to run wild here?"
Snake Granny said coldly.
"Haha, my oversight indeed."
As Tang Hao spoke, he casually tossed the Ten Thousand Beast Academy student to the side.
"I have only one purpose today, and that's Meng Yiran!" His gaze fixed firmly on Dragon Duke and Snake Duchess.
At the same time, an awe-inspiring presence burst forth from him.
"Very strong, stronger than the average Titled Douluo!"
The expressions of Dragon Duke and Snake Duchess changed at once.
The next moment, both summoned their Martial Souls and Soul Rings to be able to ignore the pressure emanating from Tang Hao.
Tang Hao spoke again, his tone heavy: "I'll say it again, I only want Meng Yiran."
"Sir, you are too late, Yiran has already refined the soul bone. Even if she appeared now, you would no longer be able to remove it."
Snake Granny couldn't help but say.
The strength displayed by Tang Hao forced her and Dragon Duke to reconsider their position seriously.
"Haha, do you think I'm a child to be toyed with?"
Tang Hao laughed furiously: "If she truly had refined the attached soul bone, why wouldn't she come out to meet me! Hand over Meng Yiran promptly if you know what's good for you, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Have you thoroughly considered this, sir? Are you really willing to declare war on the Ten Thousand Beast Academy over an attached soul bone?"
Dragon Duke said sternly.
"The value of an attached soul bone, in my eyes, has already exceeded that of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. Is it worth going to war with your little Ten Thousand Beast Academy? You tell me," Tang Hao stated coolly.
He wasn't lying; his soul bones were already fully equipped, and even if he were given another hundred-thousand-year soul bone, he could not refine it.
But an attached soul bone was different, as it wouldn't take up the position of his current soul bones.
"It seems, today will not end amicably."
Dragon Duke said gravely: "Old woman, prepare our Soul Fusion Skill!"
"It seems you won't shed tears until you've seen the coffin."
Tang Hao shook his head slightly, and the next moment, the Hao Tian Hammer was in his hand.
"This is..."
Dragon Duke and Snake Granny's pupils suddenly constricted, and a name came to mind...
"That's right, my Martial Soul is indeed the Hao Tian Hammer!"
By now, there was no need for disguise, Tang Hao declared solemnly.
"Haha, a Titled Douluo of the Hao Tian Clan stooping to murder and theft for a soul bone, aren't you afraid of becoming the laughingstock of the world?"
Dragon Duke suddenly laughed.
"Of course, I am afraid."
"The Hao Tian Clan cannot afford this shame."
Surprisingly, Tang Hao did not deny it, but rather nodded. Then he said coldly, "That's why, today, all who have seen the Hao Tian Hammer and witnessed me in action must die!"
At these words, the entire place fell silent.
They were all stunned.
Had the Titled Douluo of the Hao Tian Clan gone mad?
