Chapter 33 Dugu Bo: Have some decency!
Lin Yu stood frozen in place.
That murderous gaze was cold and brutal, as if it would tear him to shreds at any moment.
The wrath of a Title Douluo is no joke.
However, the sweet fragrance of the young girl lingering around his nose and the soft touch made him reluctant to let go.
This is a goddess from heaven throwing herself into my arms!
In that fraction of a second of hesitation, the spirit rings on Dugu Bo's body lit up uncontrollably!
Lin Yu was jolted awake; his survival instinct instantly overcame any romantic thoughts.
If we don't let go soon, this old monster might just plant himself in the ground like a ginseng root!
He took a deep breath of the fragrance from the girl's hair before reluctantly letting go, and then gently pushed Dugu Yan, who was in his arms, back a step.
"Um, there's no need for such a formal expression of gratitude."
Dugu Yan was pushed away by him, and only then did she belatedly realize that the atmosphere was not right.
When she turned around, she saw her grandfather looking like he wanted to devour someone, his nine spirit rings shining brightly, and the fluctuations of his spirit power almost overturned the entire valley.
She was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening, and her pretty face instantly turned bright red.
A mix of shame, embarrassment, and a hint of anger at her grandfather for blaming her without any explanation welled up inside her.
"grandfather!"
Dugu Yan stomped her foot in anger, put her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at Dugu Bo.
"What are you doing! Put the spirit ring away right now!"
"I just—I just wanted to thank Lin Yu! He's a benefactor to our family! How could you treat him like this!"
A self-righteous and defiant shout echoed through the valley.
Dugu Bo was completely stunned.
His raging anger was completely extinguished by his granddaughter's angry rebuke.
I—I got scolded by my granddaughter?
For this pretty boy I've only known for a short time?
Dugu Bo looked at the spirit ring still glowing on his body, then at his beloved granddaughter who was giving him a look that said, "You're being unreasonable." His old face turned a deep purplish-red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
No, I gave this kid the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as payment, isn't that enough?
They're trying to take advantage of my granddaughter?
He felt extremely wronged.
Lin Yu touched his nose, wisely choosing not to get involved in the internal conflict between the grandfather and grandson.
Tsk tsk, as expected, to deal with his granddaughter slave, only his granddaughter herself can handle it.
However, although Dugu Yan is only thirteen years old, she is quite well-developed. She is soft and fragrant when you hold her, and has a wonderful feel.
This reminded him of Hu Liena, the enchantress from the Spirit Hall.
I wonder how that woman is doing now.
I shook my head and decided against it.
Hu Liena is Bibi Dong's darling. If he dares to lay a hand on her now, he'll probably be hunted down to the ends of the earth by that female pope the very next day.
It's not too late to sound out Bibi Dong's opinion when we're stronger in the future.
Right now, the priority is to get the third spirit ring sorted out.
While Lin Yu was lost in thought, the "family war" over there had already come to a conclusion.
Under Dugu Yan's repeated accusations, Dugu Bo finally gave in and sheepishly put away his martial soul and soul rings, looking as humiliated as a wronged wife.
He glared at Lin Yu, then coughed twice to save face as an elder and forcibly changed the subject.
"Ahem—kid, I see your soul power has reached level 30, hasn't it?"
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, pretending to be unfathomable.
"Have you decided what kind of spirit beast you want to absorb for your third spirit ring? I know this Sunset Forest very well. Tell me, and I'll help you find one."
That's a very sincere statement.
After all, Lin Yu had cured the poison that had afflicted the grandfather and granddaughter, and had also helped his granddaughter evolve her martial soul. Dugu Bo truly remembered this kindness.
Dugu Yan immediately stopped "criticizing" her grandfather, and looked at Lin Yu with her bright green eyes full of expectation.
She was also very curious about what kind of spirit ring a mysterious and powerful young man like Lin Yu would choose.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated his goal.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."
"I need a Netherworld Spider that is about nine thousand years old."
The words fell.
The entire valley fell into a deathly silence.
Dugu Bo's expression froze. He picked at his ear, wondering if he was hallucinating because of his age.
Dugu Yan's beautiful big eyes widened, and her small mouth was slightly open, big enough to fit an egg.
The silence lasted for a full three seconds.
Dugu Bocai spoke in an extremely eerie tone, his voice trembling.
"How many years?"
Lin Yu looked at his horrified expression and calmly repeated the sentence.
"Nine thousand years, a little less is acceptable, but it's best not to go below eight thousand five hundred years."
boom!
Dugu Bo felt as if something had exploded in his mind.
He looked at Lin Yu as if he were a monster, scanning him from head to toe and then from toe to head several times.
Is this something a level 30 Soul Master could say?
Crazy!
For a normal Soul Master, the absorption limit for the third Soul Ring is 1750 years! Even for some exceptionally talented monsters, the maximum absorption time is only a little over two thousand years!
Nine thousand years?!
Do you want to be burst apart by the spirit ring and ascend to heaven on the spot?
However, in stark contrast to his horrified appearance, Dugu Yan, after a brief moment of shock, shone with an unprecedented brilliance in her emerald green eyes!
Wow—that's amazing!
They were younger than her, yet their soul power level was so much higher!
Now, even the third spirit ring they've chosen has such an unusually long age limit!
This can no longer be described as genius!
He's absolutely a prodigy!
How many secrets does this precious boy, a gift from heaven, still hold?
Dugu Bo took a deep breath and pointed at Lin Yu, his fingers trembling.
"Boy, tell me honestly, what exactly are you?"
Lin Yu took a half step back. What was this old poisoner up to? Did he mistake him for a transformed soul beast?
Dugu Bo's gaze swept over Lin Yu, as if trying to see through him completely.
His gaze held a mixture of surprise, scrutiny, and even a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.
A level 30 Soul Master not only swallowed the immortal herb of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well unharmed, but also dared to ask for a nine-thousand-year Soul Ring. This was beyond his understanding of "genius".
Lin Yu felt uneasy under his gaze, but feigned composure and shrugged, "Old Poisoner, I'm just an ordinary human Soul Master, my Martial Soul is just a little special. With eyes like yours, anyone who didn't know better would think I'm some kind of 100,000-year-old Soul Beast in human form."
"Ordinary?" Dugu Bo chuckled, his tone softening considerably. "If you're ordinary, then there are no normal people on this continent. A nine-thousand-year-old Netherworld Spider—do you know how hard it is to find one? Even if you did find one, could your current body really withstand it?"
"How will I know if I don't try?" Lin Yu smiled, his eyes filled with certainty. "My body has been tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and immortal herbs, making it far stronger than others of the same level. Moreover, my martial soul is special, so there's no issue of whether I can withstand the absorption of soul rings."
Dugu Bo remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Finally, he sighed and waved his hand resignedly: "Fine, since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word. The Netherweave Spider prefers cold and gloomy places, often lurking in the depths of caves or ancient tombs in extremely yin areas. It acts mysteriously and is skilled in mental attacks and deadly poison. There are a few suitable places deep within Sunset Forest—but, kid, let me make this clear: if things don't work out, survival is paramount, and the time limit can be appropriately reduced."
"Don't worry, I value my life very much." Lin Yu nodded in agreement, but he was already eager to try.
The nine-thousand-year-old Netherworld Spider's soul ring, containing the attributes of death and spirit, is the perfect nourishment for the third ring of the Ghost Gate Martial Soul.
Once he successfully absorbs it, his strength will surely experience a qualitative leap.
