Chapter 55: Time Flies.
He didn't say the rest aloud, but the scales in his heart had already completely tipped in favor of the boy.
At this moment, Ye Xuanming walked in from outside the door.
"Senior Dugu".
Dugu Bo raised his head, a complex emotion flashing in his dark green pupils.
He stood up and walked to the pavilion in the courtyard.
"Come over and let's talk."
Ye Xuanming followed, and the two sat down on the stone bench.
Not far away, three girls, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong, also got up and were hiding behind a pillar in the corridor, secretly watching this side.
"Sister Yanzi, will Grandpa make things difficult for Brother Ye?" Ning Rongrong asked softly.
Dugu Yan shook her head; she herself was unsure.
"Probably... no way."
Inside the pavilion, Dugu Bo remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
"I've heard about what happened to you."
His voice was flat, revealing no emotion.
"The third ring of ten thousand years, not bad, simply a monster."
Ye Xuanming didn't respond, but just listened quietly.
"Why didn't you absorb that external soul bone yourself?" Dugu Bo finally asked the question that had been nagging at him.
"It's more suitable for Sister Yanzi." Ye Xuanming's answer was simple and direct. "My martial spirit doesn't need it to bear power."
Dugu Bo gave him a deep look.
This answer was arrogant, yet full of confidence.
Only such confidence is worthy of that astonishing soul ring configuration.
Dugu Bo fell silent again.
He thought of himself.
He spent his life using drugs, but was trapped by them, and his descendants also suffered greatly as a result.
He thought of Dugu Yan.
This granddaughter, whom he cherished dearly, had lived in the shadow of snake venom since childhood.
Now, Ye Xuanming not only helped her resolve the backlash from the poison, but also personally delivered a treasure that could change her life to her.
After a long while, Dugu Bo let out a long breath, as if releasing the pent-up frustration that had been building up in his heart for many years.
"I've spoiled Yanzi since she was little; she's spoiled and willful."
"In the future, if she makes you angry, please be more tolerant."
Dugu Bo's voice carried a hint of pleading.
He is entrusting this to someone.
He entrusted his only granddaughter to the young man before him.
Ye Xuanming stood up and solemnly bowed to Dugu Bo.
"Don't worry, senior."
"I will protect Sister Yanzi with my life."
At this moment, Dugu Yan, standing outside the pavilion, could no longer hold back her tears.
Ye Lingling silently handed over a handkerchief.
Ning Rongrong looked on with envy.
Dugu Bo also stood up. He patted Ye Xuanming on the shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Some promises can be made in a single sentence.
After Dugu Bo left, Ye Xuanming did not stay in Tiandou City for long.
The next day, he took Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling back to the Tiandou Royal Academy.
As Ye Xuanming advanced to Soul Venerable and acquired a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, his status within the academy became increasingly special. With his formidable strength and the backing of a Title Douluo, he was someone that ordinary people dared not provoke.
In some routine soul-fighting sparring sessions, Ye Xuanming never released his soul rings again.
Often, simply conjuring a black jade blue-silver spear in his hand is enough to easily defeat his opponent.
Whether the opponent is an offensive or agile attacker, they cannot last more than three rounds against his spear, which is sometimes as heavy as a mountain and sometimes as sharp as an unparalleled weapon.
Invincible at the same level!
This affected his image within the academy.
Everyone knows he's strong, but nobody knows exactly how strong he is.
Because no one could force him to use his Soul Ring.
...
Time slips away like sand through your fingers.
Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Xuanming is now twelve years old.
His height suddenly increased to about 1.9 meters, completely shedding his youthful immaturity. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His handsome face had distinct features, and his temperament was calm and reserved.
For the past two and a half years, apart from cultivating, he has spent his time by Dugu Yan's and Ye Lingling's side.
His soul power also steadily increased, and not long ago, he finally reached the bottleneck of level 40.
A twelve-year-old Soul Master at level forty.
If this message were to be sent out, it would be enough to shake the entire mainland.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's progress was equally astonishing.
Because of the fusion with the external soul bone, Dugu Yan's soul power enhancement speed was somewhat affected.
Now, Dugu Yan's soul power has reached level forty-four.
Ye Lingling's soul power also reached level 42.
After breaking through level 40, neither of them rushed to obtain their fourth soul ring.
This was Ye Xuanming's suggestion.
He told them that with their talent and foundation, they were fully capable of attempting to obtain a fourth soul ring at the ten-thousand-year level, and there was no need to rush.
Therefore, the increase in soul power was slightly less, after all, having two ten-thousand-year fourth soul rings gives a huge advantage in battles of the same level.
In order to conceal their strength, after obtaining the fourth soul ring of the ten-thousand-year era, the two never revealed their soul power level or soul ring in public again, and still claimed to be at level thirty-nine.
During the Soul Battle, it can also be controlled; only the first three Soul Rings were displayed.
After all, Yu Tianheng, the former captain of the Royal Fighting Team, only reached level 39 in soul power.
His relationship with Ye Xuanming was merely that of ordinary classmates and teammates, nothing more.
Yu Tianheng had challenged Ye Xuanming many times, but each time he was utterly defeated by Ye Xuanming's un-enchanted dark jade blue-silver spear.
Over time, this genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had his arrogance completely worn away.
On the other hand, Ning Rongrong has also changed a lot in the past two years.
With the help of whale glue, her physical condition was greatly improved, and her second soul ring successfully absorbed a thousand-year soul ring, changing her soul ring configuration to one yellow and one purple.
Now her soul power has successfully reached level 29, just one step away from becoming a Soul Master.
This is three levels higher than her level 26 soul power in the original work.
When Ning Fengzhi learned that Ning Rongrong's second soul ring was at the thousand-year level, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sat in his study for a full hour.
He was even more grateful for his decision to leave his daughter with Ye Xuanming.
For this reason, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has provided tremendous support to the Ye family over the past two years, sending a continuous stream of rare resources.
Of course, Ye Xuanming politely declined all of these offers.
He and Ning Rongrong have not yet established a relationship, and he will not accept these things for no reason.
On this day, Ye Xuanming, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the other members of the Royal Fighting Team were summoned to the academy's simulation training ground.
All the team members have arrived.
Yu Tianheng, Oslo, Stone Mill, the Graphite Brothers, and Yu Feng.
They stood in a row, each with a solemn expression on their face.
Three people stood before them.
Leading the group were the three chief members of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
Dream God, Bai Baoshan, Zhilin.
"I have called you here for a very important matter."
The voice of the Dream God echoed in the empty training ground.
"The Continental Elite Competition of Advanced Soul Master Academies is about to begin."
Upon hearing this name, all the team members were invigorated.
"According to the decision of the Empire and the Spirit Hall, our Heaven Dou Royal Academy will be directly promoted to the finals as a seed team of the Heaven Dou region."
The Dream God paused for a moment, then continued,
"And you, the Royal Fighting Team, will represent the academy in this tournament."
"Ye Xuanming, you will now serve as the captain of the Royal Fighting Team."
