Chapter 167: Blue Tyrant Academy, Clear Sky Douluo
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then looked up at the three council members.
"Regarding the Four Element Academies, what exactly are the arrangements?"
Committee Member Meng Shenji nodded slightly.
"There is no difference from regular exchanges. They will stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a period of time to conduct activities such as teaching observations and student sparring."
"However, the time will not be too long. According to convention, it will be about a month."
Committee Member Bai Baoshan added from the side, "The Four Element Academies have sent their outstanding students this time, and the team leaders are also strong individuals at the Spirit Emperor and Spirit Saint levels."
"It seems they truly attach great importance to this exchange."
Committee Member Zhi Lin looked at Lin Mo, his tone carrying inquiry.
"Lin Mo, what are your thoughts?"
Lin Mo nodded.
"We can agree to their request. When the time comes, I will lead the Heaven Dou First Team to exchange and learn with them."
"Just in time. Before the official start of the upcoming Spirit Master Competition, the Heaven Dou First Team needs some practical combat to improve team synergy."
"The students of the Four Element Academies are quite good opponents."
A hint of gratification flashed in Committee Member Meng Shenji's eyes.
"Good. Since you have agreed, the academy will formally reply to the Four Element Academies and arrange the exchange matters."
"However, if you feel it is troublesome during the exchange, you can decline at any time. The academy will respect your wishes."
Lin Mo shook his head.
"It's no problem. It's just sparring and exchange. It won't take up too much time."
After communicating and confirming the details with the three council members, Lin Mo left the Education Committee together with Dugu Bo.
At dusk, inside Dugu Manor.
Lin Mo stood in the courtyard, watching Dugu Bo, who was preparing to go out.
Dugu Bo had changed into dark casual clothes, obviously preparing to handle some matter he did not want others to know about.
Lin Mo examined him for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"Senior Dugu."
Dugu Bo paused and turned to look at him.
Lin Mo's voice was very soft, but it carried a hint of solemnity.
"If you are going out next, remember to be extremely careful. Heaven Dou City has not been peaceful lately."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's pupils shrank slightly.
He was silent for a moment before finally nodding.
"This old man understands."
Seeing this, Lin Mo did not stay any longer and turned to walk toward his room.
Dugu Bo watched Lin Mo leave, then hesitated no longer. His figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
A blurred shadow silently swept across the streets of Heaven Dou City, speeding toward a certain direction.
After returning to his room, Lin Mo sat down at the table.
Although Dugu Bo did not communicate with him, Lin Mo could probably guess Dugu Bo's next move.
During the day at the Education Committee, Dugu Bo must have seen the scene where Tang San's Eight Spider Lances broke out of his body, and he must have recognized the true identity of those eight spider legs.
An external Spirit Bone.
This kind of rare treasure, which could be encountered but not sought, had a fatal attraction for any Spirit Master, even a Titled Douluo.
Dugu Bo was clearly targeting the Spirit Bone on Tang San.
As the saying went, a man was innocent, but his treasure made him guilty.
Given Tang San's current cultivation, possessing such a treasure as an external Spirit Bone was already a danger in itself.
Not to mention that it had been exposed today in front of everyone.
Under normal circumstances, those Spirit Saint-level teachers from Shrek Academy simply could not protect Tang San.
Unfortunately, Tang San's background was not simple either.
He was the son of Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.
Lin Mo could almost be certain that Tang Hao was currently in Heaven Dou City, and was likely following Tang San in secret.
Dugu Bo's current cultivation was probably around Rank 93 or Rank 94.
This strength was not weak among Titled Douluos, but if he were to face Tang Hao...
Tang Hao's current spirit power should be at Rank 95, and he also possessed the number one Tool Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer.
Even if his internal injuries had not yet recovered, it was undeniable that his combat power remained extremely powerful.
If they really fought, Dugu Bo would likely not be Tang Hao's opponent, but there would not be a situation where he was unilaterally crushed. At most, Dugu Bo would simply be at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, in another part of Heaven Dou City.
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it Shrek Academy now.
After leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy in a sorry state during the day, the group from Shrek Academy did not stay long and came directly here.
The dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong, was the final corner of the Golden Triangle and a close friend of Flender and Yu Xiaogang for many years.
Merging Shrek Academy into Blue Tyrant Academy was a backup plan Flender had prepared long ago.
He did this not only to find a foothold for the children of the academy to participate in the Spirit Master Competition, but also to bring Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong together again.
At this moment, in a courtyard within Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong stood in the courtyard, looking at Yu Xiaogang before her, whose expression was complicated. After a long silence, she finally spoke first.
"Xiaogang, long time no see."
Liu Erlong's voice was even trembling slightly.
Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, but for a long time, he could not say a word.
He had not expected Flender to trick him like this, bringing him directly here to see Liu Erlong, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Erlong..."
Yu Xiaogang finally spat out these two words, his voice dry.
Flender sighed from the side.
"Xiaogang, Erlong has been waiting for you all these years. Now it is time to say some things openly."
Yu Xiaogang remained silent.
Liu Erlong looked at his appearance, a trace of disappointment inevitably flashing in her eyes, but she quickly cheered herself up.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
She turned to Flender.
"Since you have come, then settle down with peace of mind."
"Although Blue Tyrant Academy cannot compare to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it does not lack any necessary resources. I will arrange for the children to participate in the Spirit Master Competition."
Flender nodded, a look of gratitude appearing on his face.
"Thank you, Erlong."
Yu Xiaogang also regained his senses at this time, forcing himself to calm down.
Now was not the time to worry about emotional issues.
The Spirit Bone on Tang San had likely already been exposed. In this case, Dugu Bo had probably already targeted them. The most urgent task was to ensure Tang San's safety first.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Liu Erlong, his tone solemn.
"Erlong, there is something I need your help with."
Liu Erlong was slightly stunned.
"What is it?"
"Little San may have accidentally exposed his external Spirit Bone today at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was very heavy.
"Poison Douluo Dugu Bo has likely already targeted him. Relying on just me, Flender, and the others, we cannot protect Little San."
Liu Erlong's expression changed instantly.
"External Spirit Bone?" Her voice carried shock. "Dugu Bo?"
She immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
If a Titled Douluo were to truly make a move against Tang San, then Spirit Saints like Flender and the others would simply not be able to stop him.
"The three of us will join forces," Liu Erlong said without hesitation. "With our Three-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill, even if we are not Dugu Bo's opponent, we can still contend with him slightly."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
With Liu Erlong here, their Golden Triangle could perform their Spirit Fusion Skill.
The Three-in-One Golden Sacred Dragon could delay even a Titled Douluo for some time.
However, even so, Yu Xiaogang still felt uneasy in his heart.
Under these circumstances, it would be most appropriate for Tang Hao to come forward.
If Tang Hao were by Tang San's side, naturally, no one would dare to touch Tang San.
But ever since Tang Hao came forward to have a night talk with Tang San and helped him resolve his inner knot, Tang Hao had disappeared from Tang San's side again.
No one knew where he had gone, nor did they know if he would appear at a critical moment.
This feeling of uncertainty made Yu Xiaogang increasingly anxious.
The night grew deeper.
On the outskirts of Shrek Academy, a black shadow landed silently on the roof.
Dugu Bo restrained his own aura, like a shadow merging into the surrounding darkness.
His gaze fell on a courtyard within the academy.
That was exactly where Tang San was located.
A cold sneer curled at the corner of Dugu Bo's mouth.
An external Spirit Bone, such a rare treasure that could be encountered but not sought, had fallen into the hands of a junior in his thirties in rank. It was simply too much of a waste.
Since he had encountered it, there was no reason to let it go.
His figure moved, and he was just about to sneak toward the courtyard.
However, at that moment, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly came from behind him.
Dugu Bo's entire body stiffened, and he turned around abruptly.
From the shadows of the courtyard, a tall figure slowly walked out.
The person was wearing a tattered gray robe, his hair was messy, and he held a huge black hammer in his hand.
On the hammer, nine spirit rings were slowly rotating.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly shrank. He had already recognized the person's identity.
"Clear Sky Douluo…"
