Chapter 21: Shadow vs. Green Phosphorus Snake (5)
🕑 Added 2025-04-20 06:29:28 +0000 UTC“I can fight you again, but I have a condition.”
“What conditions?” Dugu Yan asked.
Lu Buliang smiled, “If you lose again, you must give me the same treasure I want.”
“What treasure?” Dugu Yan asked again.
“I haven’t thought about it yet, but you have to find a treasure from your grandfather to give me.” Lu Buliang thought to himself. If he really didn’t have the money to buy a living storage soul guide that could store magic herbs, he could only rely on Dugu Yan’s relationship to get Dugu Bo’s storage soul guide.
Duguyan didn’t care what Lu Buliang was up to, she just wanted to win back, and immediately said, “I promise you. Come now, let’s go on stage and fight again.”
“You two can fight again tomorrow.” Qin Ming suddenly said, “Yanzi, the fighting spirit in the practical class is not about who is stronger or weaker, but about discovering your own shortcomings and making changes. Today you should think carefully about why you lost. Once you figure it out, fight again tomorrow and you will definitely gain something.”
After hearing what Qin Ming said, Dugu Yan finally calmed down and turned to sit down in a deserted place to rest.
Yu Tianheng ran to comfort her. Oslo and Yufeng walked onto the fighting stage and started fighting. Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Qin Ming and other students watched the fight from the audience.
Lu Buliang and Ye Lingling went to prepare for the next actual combat. The actual combat between the auxiliary systems must be joined by another partner, and Lu Buliang was Ye Lingling’s partner.
“.”
The academy bell rang, the practical class ended, and it was time for lunch and nap.
The students left the playground and headed towards the cafeteria.
Lu Buliang, Yu Tianheng and seven other people were traveling together. On the way to the canteen, they were also reviewing the knowledge they had learned from the theoretical and practical classes.
“Lü Buliang, I still don’t understand. How did you manage to stay safe and sound under Yanyan’s green phosphorus poison?” Yu Tianheng looked at Lü Buliang and asked, “You can predict the control range of the green phosphorus red poison, but the mixed green phosphorus red and purple poison almost covered the entire fighting spirit arena. How did you avoid it?”
Oslo suddenly had an idea. “You didn’t secretly use your shadow to move outside the fighting arena, did you? That’s against the rules.”
Lu Buliang glanced at Dugu Yan who was walking on the left side of Yu Tianheng and said with a smile, “Yanzi, do you want to know how I did it?”
“I don’t want to.” Dugu Yan replied unhappily, “Just wait, you beat me up so hard today, I will pay you back a hundredfold tomorrow!”
Just as Duguyan finished speaking, an old voice suddenly sounded behind everyone, “Yanyan.”
Turning around, I saw that the person coming was an old man with dark green hair, who seemed to be in his seventies or eighties, but his pair of dark green eyes were full of energy, revealing not only coldness, but also a cold evil.
When he saw the old man for the first time, Lu Buliang’s body trembled violently. Just by looking at the old man, his body seemed to be forcibly injected with an electric current. This current paralyzed his whole body, making it impossible for his body to move easily and his soul power unable to be gathered.
It felt like one's shadow was frozen and one’s soul power was blocked.
In addition to the aura pressure brought by the martial souls, the difference in soul power levels can also produce this suppressive effect.
Lu Buliang was almost certain that this dark green-haired old man was definitely a soul master far more powerful than the three professors. Was there such a person in Tiandou Royal Academy?
“Grandpa.” After shouting in surprise, Dugu Yan rushed towards the old man with dark green hair.
When the dark green-haired old man saw Dugu Yan, the cold expression on his face suddenly softened. He stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, laughing, “Yanyan, well, not bad, it seems that my worry was unnecessary, your strength has improved again.”
After seeing this scene, Lu Buliang finally realized that the old man with dark green hair was actually Dugu Yan’s grandfather, Dugu Bo. No wonder he had such a terrifying aura.
After resolving the doubts in his mind, Lu Buliang began to get nervous, because he had beaten Dugu Yan during the practical class. If Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo about this, wouldn’t he be doomed?
It Is obviously too early to meet Dugu Bo now. He is not prepared for anything. He does not know poison, has no talent, no backing, no strength, and his relationship with Dugu Yan is not particularly good. He has no confidence to confront Dugu Bo.
“Grandpa, why are you here?” Dugu Yan was a completely different person from before. In front of her grandfather, she seemed to change from her decisive and resolute demeanor to a coquettish personality.
Dugu Bo laughed, “Of course I miss Yanyan.”
“I’ll give you one more chance.” Dugu Yan stared at Dugu Bo and said in a low voice, “Tell me, why did you come to the academy?”
Dugu Bo smiled weakly, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. Prince Xuexing asked me to take care of something, and I just wanted to visit my dear granddaughter after I finished it, to see if you have neglected your cultivation.”
“Grandpa, I’m not a child. Of course I won’t neglect my training.” Dugu Yan frowned and said with a wronged look, “I’m not only training my martial soul, but also reviewing the poison skills you taught me. How can you suspect me of being lazy!”
Lu Buliang watched the conversation between the grandfather and granddaughter with trepidation, and only felt relieved when they finished. It seemed that Dugu Yan was not so petty as to complain to her grandfather about everything.
I am just an unknown person, so I don’t have to worry about Dugu Bo noticing my existence.
After reminiscing about the past with his granddaughter, Dugu Bo left without paying any attention to Yu Tianheng and the others, let alone Lu Buliang.
“Sister Yanzi, your grandfather’s aura is still so terrifying.” Seeing Dugu Bo’s figure completely disappear, Oslo’s body became weak. He let out a long breath and said nervously, “In front of him, I felt like I was fixed by Lü Buliang’s shadow. It was so painful.”
“That’s Senior Poison Douluo. We can’t even handle Teacher Shi Gao’s aura. Not to mention a Titled Douluo.” Yu Feng’s ugly expression gradually improved. This was why he didn’t dare to flirt with Dugu Yan.
Yu Tianheng was not too suppressed by Dugu Bo’s aura. After all, the top-level Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul was right there. Although there was a big gap in the soul power level, if Dugu Bo did not intentionally put pressure on him, he could still remain calm.
“Lü Buliang, are you scared?” Dugu Yan noticed that Lü Buliang looked unhappy and his fingers were shaking unconsciously, so she teased him, “Are you afraid that I will tell my grandfather and that he will beat you?”
Lü Buliang had a bitter look on his face and did not reply. He was deeply hurt.
The first time he stood with the Titled Douluo, it was also the first time that Lu Buliang saw what reality was.
The reality is, with your current soul power at level 36, without a backer, and without knowledge about poisons, you must never provoke the Poison Douluo, one of the Titled Douluos who dominates the world.
He can survive Dugu Yan's purple phosphorus poison, but if he is arrogant enough to challenge Poison Douluo’s poison, he will definitely die without a burial place.
The reality Is that the plan to take the magic grass for himself is probably going to fail. It is absolutely impossible to take the magic grass away from Dugu Bo’s eyes by one’s own strength.
Just by looking at Dugu Bo just now, his soul power and body were blocked. He could not move and could only be slaughtered.
For Dugu Bo, killing Lu Buliang was as easy as crushing an ant.
The reality is that Lu Buliang thought everything was too simple, and all his previous fantasies were nothing but daydreams.
However, Lu Buliang is not a person who backs down. Only by knowing the gap between fantasy and reality can he better turn fantasy into reality.
If you really cannot keep the magic herb all by yourself, you can only rely on the help of others to obtain the magic herb and share it with others.
Spirit Hall, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, or the Heaven Dou Empire?
Lu Buliang thought that instead of conspiring with these forces, it would be better to share the opportunity of the immortal grass with Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo’s granddaughter.
The prerequisite Is that Dugu Yan must stand on his side.
“Lü Buliang, you’re not really scared, are you?” Seeing that Lü Buliang’s eyes were always on her, Dugu Yan felt a little uncomfortable and explained, “Don’t worry, I didn’t tell my grandfather about you beating me up. I will beat you back with my own hands!"
Lu Buliang put aside all his worries, glanced at Yu Tianheng and the others, and smiled faintly, “You guys go eat. I’m not hungry. I want to practice in the mimesis field for a while.”
“The mimesis field is not allowed to be used at noon.” Yu Tianheng reminded, “The combination of work and rest is the purpose of the academy. The rest time at noon is very important for soul masters, because if you want to concentrate on training, you must maintain sufficient mental and physical strength.”
“It’s okay. I’m very energetic. If the mimesis field doesn’t open, I’ll go practice somewhere else.”
After saying that, Lu Buliang walked towards the stone steps. He wanted to go to the light-filled room in the dean’s building to practice mimesis and improve his strength quickly.
With strength, he won’t be afraid.
Only with strength can he live the way he likes.
“Did that guy take the wrong medicine?” Oslo looked puzzled. “Why is he so desperate all of a sudden?”
Watching Lu Buliang’s back as he walked towards the top of the mountain, Yu Tianheng felt inexplicably restless. He was not only a genius of Tiandou Royal Academy, but also a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
What a genius fears most is being surpassed by others.
Now that Lu Buliang is practicing so diligently, how dare he be negligent?
If Lu Buliang can defeat Dugu Yan today, he may be able to defeat me tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianheng no longer had the mood to eat.
“You guys go eat, I’m not hungry either.” After saying that, Yu Tianheng also walked towards the top of the mountain.
“No way? How could the captain go crazy?” Oslo was even more confused.
“I’m not hungry either.” As soon as Shi Mo finished speaking, his stomach started to growl.
Shi Mo touched his hungry stomach and looked at Shi Mo, “Brother, I’m not hungry either.”
“Since no one is hungry, let’s continue practicing.” Ye Lingling said, “If you don’t have the energy, I’m here for you.”
“Let’s go to the top of the mountain to practice. We are a team. If Lü Buliang doesn’t eat, we won’t eat either. As long as one of us is still practicing, the rest of us can’t fall behind.”
As soon as Yu Feng’s voice fell, Oslo was the first to run to the top of the mountain. He had been beaten up by Lu Buliang before, and he was still thinking about revenge. How could he be willing to be left behind by Lu Buliang in strength?
