Chapter 54: This is my...master~
Sunset Forest is not far from Heaven Dou City.
After completing the transplantation and planting of the Blue Silver Grass, Su Lin finally had some free time to properly explore Heaven Dou City.
only...
"Don't you have to go to school?"
Su Lin frowned as he watched the graceful young woman following closely behind him, almost touching him.
"I've already dropped out of school."
In response to Su Lin's question, Dugu Yan smiled and said, "The teachers at the intermediate academy are no match for a titled Douluo who personally teaches me. My grandfather sent me to school mainly so that I could make some friends."
As she spoke, she gently took Su Lin's arm, her eyes filled with infatuation.
"But now, you are all I have in my heart and in my eyes, my master."
"Grandpa has promised, and I will stay by my master's side every step of the way!"
Su Lin frowned and took a half step back, but did not refuse forcefully.
If Dugu Yan wants to drop out of school, she must get Dugu Bo's approval.
Su Lin could roughly guess what the grandfather and granddaughter were thinking. Getting closer to Dugu Yan would put Dugu Bo at ease and make him more loyal.
"trouble..."
Su Lin's mental strength is now very strong. He can clearly sense that there are at least a dozen eyes watching him and Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo is the only titled Douluo in the Heaven Dou Empire who is openly close to the Heaven Dou royal family.
Dugu Yan's sudden withdrawal from school is something the Heaven Dou royal family can't ignore, and even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, and the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City might care.
"In that case, take me to the Great Soul Arena."
There's no such thing as a free lunch. Having taken in a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo, these troubles were to be expected, so Su Lin didn't care.
"The Grand Arena!"
Dugu Yan was also very interested in this. Her eyes were filled with excitement and wildness, and her infatuation with Su Lin deepened.
"I didn't expect you to be interested in this. Let's go right now. I've already got the Bronze Battle Spirit Badge!"
Dugu Yan's words inevitably carried a hint of boasting. No matter how mature she appeared on the surface, she was still just a young girl.
"Okay, let's go then."
For Dugu Yan's age, obtaining the Bronze Battle Spirit Badge is indeed a remarkable achievement, but Su Lin really couldn't be too surprised...
The badge levels in the Grand Arena are distinguished by the quality of the minerals, ranging from the Iron Soul Badge that you receive upon registration to the highest level, the Diamond Badge.
The Bronze Battle Spirit Badge is only the second to last level.
Su Lin's indifference made Dugu Yan, who had wanted to show off, swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and her face showed some distress.
This "master" is really a bit difficult to deal with.
"But that's precisely why I like it so much..."
Despite watching Su Lin's indifferent back, the girl's passion remained undiminished.
...
"Grandpa said that the Great Soul Arena was established by seven powerful Soul Master families in conjunction with other forces. Whether it is the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, there will be a Great Soul Arena in cities that reach the level of a main city."
"And in every such city, the size of the Grand Arena is a sign of the city's strength."
"There is a saying among Soul Masters that the Great Soul Arena determines the rise and fall of a nation."
While leading the way, Dugu Yan also gave Su Lin a brief introduction to the basic information of the Great Soul Arena.
As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City naturally has a vast area and an extremely large scale, making it easy to identify.
From afar, Su Lin could already see the magnificent oval-shaped building ahead, which was about two hundred meters high.
"We've arrived."
Upon entering the Great Soul Arena, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge stone tablet, covered with countless names.
"Spirit battles in the Soul Arena are divided into ordinary friendly sparring, life-or-death duels, and gambling duels. In gambling duels, the winner will receive everything stipulated in the bet, so most gambling duels also include life-or-death duels."
"The names here all belong to those who lost their lives in life-or-death battles."
It's clear that Dugu Yan is genuinely interested in battle spirits; she seems to know a lot about it.
"You probably haven't registered at the Grand Arena before, so let me take you there to register first!"
By taking Su Lin's arm, Dugu Yan easily led him to a special reception room.
"Miss Dugu!"
The staff member in charge of registration at the Heavenly Dou Arena was a pretty and delicate woman. Upon seeing Dugu Yan, she immediately put on a somewhat fawning smile.
But soon, her gaze was drawn to Su Lin beside Dugu Yan, and she couldn't look away.
"Since you enjoy watching this so much, should I gouge out your eyes so you can look at them every day...?"
Dugu Yan held Su Lin's arm, her voice somewhat alluring, but her eyes were icy cold as she looked at the staff member.
"Yan Yan is right, it's time to clean out the parasites in the Great Soul Arena."
A boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in dragon-patterned clothing, slowly walked into the room. As soon as he entered, his eyes were fixed on Su Lin.
Behind him followed two middle-aged men, whose clothes were the same as the boy's, except that they were a bit too big.
His neat, short black hair stood up like steel needles, and his arm muscles, though not bulging, were very firm. However, his facial expression seemed somewhat stiff. For some reason, Su Lin suddenly thought of Yu Xiaogang when he looked at him.
"Yu Tianheng, shut up! You have no right to call me that."
Dugu Yan's voice was colder than ever before, but she still secretly glanced at Su Lin's expression, which remained completely calm.
Yu Tianheng... the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan?
Su Lin raised an eyebrow and glanced at the group of people with interest.
As expected, trouble is about to come knocking.
"Yan... I'm here to tell you that I've reached level 21. As agreed, we'll have another battle when you reach level 20."
Yu Tianheng was forced back by the cold gaze, and then noticed Dugu Yan's gaze towards Su Lin. A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "And who is this?"
With his current perception abilities, Su Lin could clearly sense the intense hostility even without opening his domain.
He didn't speak, but just looked at Dugu Yan.
The latter immediately understood, smilingly taking Su Lin's arm, wishing she could lean her whole body into his arms. The girl's figure, which was beginning to show its beauty, was slender and graceful, and a heat emanated from her.
"This is my man, my fiancé."
As she spoke, Dugu Yan suddenly twisted her body again, tried her best to stand on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Su Lin's neck and pulled him down, her red lips just close to his ear, her breath as fragrant as orchids.
"Also my...master~"
