"If you agree to be my bodyguard for three years, I guarantee that I will help you raise your soul power level from level 92 to level 95 within ten years."
Glancing sideways at Dugu Bo, Tang Chuan's smile looked rather cunning, like a fox eyeing a rabbit.
"Within ten years? Help me raise my soul power level to ninety-five?"
With a slight frown, Dugu Bo suddenly became interested, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Yes. You've seen my strength for yourself. I even helped your granddaughter evolve her martial soul into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor ahead of schedule. Helping you increase your soul power by three levels within ten years shouldn't be considered empty talk, right?" Tang Chuan slowly turned around and smiled at Dugu Bo.
"As a Title Douluo, you should be well aware that after reaching the Title Douluo level, each subsequent level of cultivation becomes extremely difficult. If you were to cultivate through meditation on your own, you probably wouldn't even reach level ninety-five before you die, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's aged face changed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, cautiously staring at Tang Chuan, and after a moment's hesitation, he said:
"Tell me, how do you plan to help me improve my strength?"
Looking at Dugu Bo's slightly bewildered expression, Tang Chuan couldn't help but smile:
"I wonder if you've ever heard of a python transforming into a dragon? Your Azure Phosphorous Serpent King is also a dragon species. If you could absorb some of the bloodline of a rare dragon martial soul, you might be able to evolve. In addition, I can refine some pills to enhance your strength. Within ten years, helping you raise your soul power level to level ninety-five would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"
In Douluo Continent II, after Tang San revived the Azure Bull Python, part of its dragon bloodline was activated, and it evolved into the Azure Divine Dragon.
If his cultivation journey had gone smoothly over the past ten years, Tang Chuan might have already become a god.
When the time comes, helping Dugu Bo evolve his martial soul will be a piece of cake.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned slightly, a complex light flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "You...you really can obtain the bloodline of a rare dragon?"
"Hehe..." Hearing this, Tang Chuan chuckled, licked his lips, and said, "Well, didn't we encounter a golden holy dragon at Shrek Academy today?"
"When we have the chance later, we can just extract its bloodline and let you swallow it, right?"
"Anyway, it's a waste to keep that thing for that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang!"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Dugu Bo's eye twitched slightly, then he smiled—a smile so menacing it resembled that of a venomous snake ready to pounce at any moment—and said:
"You little devil, you really are a living hell. Yu Xiaogang is unlucky to have met you!"
"Since that's the case, then I agree to stay by your side and act as your bodyguard for the next few years. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."
"If anyone dares to cause you trouble, I'll poison their entire family!"
"Haha, then I'll be in your care for the next few years, senior." Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan was overjoyed, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
With a Title Douluo by his side, never leaving his side, even if Tang Hao or the Spirit Hall wanted to attack him in the future, they would probably have to think twice.
Even if we can't win, having a Title Douluo around means we still have a chance to escape.
Although the Crimson King is with the auspicious beast, what if she isn't with her today? Or what if Emperor Tian comes knocking and takes the auspicious beast back to the Star Dou Great Forest?
By then, won't you have no one left who can be of any use to you?
With Dugu Bo's presence, Tang Chuan now has more of a trump card.
After silently lamenting his impending misfortune for the next few years, Dugu Bo took out a map from his robes, pointed to a piece of land, and said solemnly:
"Kid, didn't you say you wanted to start an academy? This location is convenient and the environment is pretty good. I've already negotiated the price for you."
"Next, we just need you to make the payment and then find someone to start construction."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Tang Chuan's face. He took the map, examined it carefully, and couldn't help but shake his head in admiration:
"It seems hiring a senior as a bodyguard was an extremely wise decision. Now I don't have to worry about anything, hehe."
Dugu Bo merely pursed his lips at Tang Chuan's praise and paid it no heed.
"Let's go, let's buy land."
After examining the map once more, Tang Chuan carefully put it away, then waved to Dugu Bo and Xiao Ruier and smiled.
Immediately afterward, he turned and walked out of the alley. Following him, Dugu Bo and Xiao Ruier exchanged a glance, shrugged helplessly, and followed him out of the alley.
…………
A few days later, at Shrek Academy.
When Tang San regained consciousness, he found himself lying on his bed in the dormitory.
He first took a deep breath, then activated the Xuan Tian Gong within his body, allowing his internal energy to circulate once before slowly opening his eyes and scanning his surroundings.
Tang San then noticed that his left hand was being held tightly by a warm little hand.
Looking down, one could see that the owner of that hand was none other than Xiao Wu.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was lying on him, breathing evenly, fast asleep.
"Xiao Wu." Seeing this, Tang San felt a warmth in his heart. After a moment of silence, he reached out his right hand and gently poked Xiao Wu's cheek, calling out softly.
A moment later, Xiao Wu stirred slightly, groggily opening her eyes. When she saw that Tang San was awake, she instantly perked up, her eyes slightly reddening, and she called out anxiously:
"Brother...you're finally awake?"
Tang San nodded, a reassuring smile on his face, then turned to look at his side.
But that one glance made his smile vanish instantly.
On the bed not far away, the master was pale, barely breathing, his lower abdomen wrapped in thick bandages, and he was unconscious.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with the teacher?"
With a sudden tightening in his chest, Tang San sat up abruptly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's expression became slightly complicated. After sighing, she recounted in detail to Tang San how the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan had sent people to cripple the Grandmaster.
"Damn it! This Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is practically courting death!"
"Teacher, don't worry, once I become a Title Douluo, I will definitely avenge you!"
Upon learning that the Grandmaster had been castrated, Tang San was filled with rage.
Then, his expression suddenly froze, as if he had remembered something. His brows furrowed tightly, his eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself:
"I vaguely remember hearing Dean Flander say to Dugu Bo before I lost consciousness... that my father was someone he couldn't afford to offend?"
The next second, Tang San's mind was filled with images of Tang Hao's usual drunken and slovenly appearance. His face was full of doubt and confusion, and even a hint of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
"My father, isn't he just a blacksmith in a remote village? How could he be someone even a Title Douluo can't afford to offend? Could it be... that he has some other identity?"
Thinking of this, Tang San rolled out of bed, his movements revealing a hint of urgency.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu quickly reached out to stop him and asked urgently:
"Brother, you just woke up, where are you going?"
Tang San's gaze was firm, but his tone carried a hint of heaviness as he explained, "I need to go see Dean Flander. There's something... I need to ask him personally."
Meanwhile, outside Holy Soul Village, in a quiet grove of trees.
A middle-aged man with an extremely burly build was seen walking slowly with heavy steps, each step feeling as if he were carrying a huge boulder, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.
As he walked, his body suddenly stiffened, and his face turned deathly pale.
"Thump—"
The middle-aged man could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily to the ground. The withered yellow leaves were quickly soaked by the blood from his chest, turning the area a bloody red, and the stench of blood permeated the forest.
The person lying in a pool of blood was none other than Haotian Douluo—Tang Hao.
Directly in front of him was a towering mountain wall that seemed to reach into the clouds.
A huge waterfall rushes down the mountainside, the water roaring down like a stampede of ten thousand horses, its momentum immense, the mist spreading and obscuring everything below.
Tang Hao was covered in blood at this moment.
He lay sprawled on the ground, and after a moment, he struggled to lift his head. Through the misty spray, he stared intently at the stone gate behind the waterfall, his eyes filled with endless regret.
"A-Gin..."
Are you still inside? I've come to see you.
"So many years have passed, and I haven't come even once, not because I don't miss you, but because I'm ashamed to see you. I'm really... sorry."
"I was wrong…"
"I owe you something I can never repay in this lifetime..."
"I shouldn't have brought you back to the Haotian Sect when you were about to fully transform into a human. Instead, I should have kept you hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest to cultivate."
"I...I shouldn't have had those thoughts in the first place!"
