Dugu Bo, full of suspicion, slapped Yu Xiaowei's butt hard several times before heading to class with his lesson plan.
He really enjoyed the feeling of teaching students now. Hearing his students respectfully call him "teacher" felt more satisfying than taking tonic pills.
Speaking of which, he had recently tried many hair growth medications, but no matter how he took them, they didn't work.
He touched his bald, shiny head, shook it, and walked into the classroom.
However, just as Dugu Bo was smiling and preparing to enjoy the thunderous greeting of "Hello, teacher" from the students, he suddenly froze.
There were four new female students, one of whom had very long hair, wore pink clothes, and had a fragrant scent.
Not human.
A humanoid soul beast?
A hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast that had transformed!
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up instantly. What did this mean? A hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
Even though the soul ring was useless to him, the soul bone—an actual hundred-thousand-year soul bone—was ten times stronger than the Medusa bone on his head.
"Ahem ahem ahem—"
Yu Xiaowei cleared his throat loudly, snapping Dugu Bo out of his thoughts.
Seeing Yu Xiaowei winking at him nonstop, he immediately understood.
"That's the little brat's target."
"He's just a little Soul Master. Why is he being so careful, even asking for my help?"
Suppressing the urge to seize the girl, Dugu Bo forced down his excitement and began lecturing.
Xiao Wu, sitting below the podium, turned pale—almost transparent. She never imagined what Flanders had said was actually true. In this simple academy, there really was a Titled Douluo acting as a teacher.
When Dugu Bo looked at her earlier, she almost ran away.
Luckily, Dugu Bo had only glanced at her and then resumed teaching seriously without looking at her again.
Maybe he hadn't recognized her real identity.
After surviving the terrifying class, Xiao Wu quickly fled back to the dormitory using the excuse that she wasn't feeling well.
Dugu Bo watched her figure disappear and anxiously asked Yu Xiaowei beside him:
"You little brat, why didn't you let me catch her?"
"What if she escapes?"
Yu Xiaowei looked at Tang San, who was walking with Xiao Wu in the distance, and replied calmly:
"She can't escape. This is Heaven Dou City, not Star Dou Forest. Don't worry, she wouldn't dare."
"Besides, there's a Level 95 Titled Douluo behind her. Aren't you afraid of breaking your old bones?"
"Oh wait, I forgot—you've already lost your teeth."
"What? Level 95!?"
Ignoring Yu Xiaowei's tease, Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock.
Even though his martial soul had evolved again and his soul power had risen another rank, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could take on a Level 95 Titled Douluo.
"You're sure?"
"Yes, the intel is solid. And this Titled Douluo is a powerful Assault-Type."
"Hiss—"
Dugu Bo sucked in a breath of cold air. A Level 95 Assault-Type—his old bones really weren't strong enough. He'd need to find help.
But in that case, how would the soul bone and soul ring be divided?
Seeing Dugu Bo frowning deeply with a conflicted face, Yu Xiaowei knew exactly what he was thinking. He patted Dugu Bo's shoulder and said with a grin:
"Senior, you're not getting a share of the soul ring or the soul bone, so just forget about it."
"???"
"I told you there would be a big reward this time. When it's time to face the Titled Douluo, you'll just need to control the battlefield. I'll call in other elders to join the front line."
"Hehe, true enough. You've got three Level 95s on your side. Three against one—it's not my turn."
"I'll go get help now, but it'll take a while to act. In the meantime, Senior, you'll be responsible for keeping a close watch on our 'hostage.' She seemed a bit afraid of you just now, so don't let her run!!!"
With that, Yu Xiaowei smiled and turned away.
Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi leaned in his chair, looking at his future son-in-law. The more he looked, the more he liked him. Smiling, he asked:
"Xiao Wei, where have you been all this time? Why haven't I seen you?"
"I went to deal with a certain someone. By the way, Uncle Ning, where are Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone?"
"You didn't come to see Rongrong today—that's rare. Is there something you need to ask the two elders?"
"Yes, something serious. It's urgent. I need both of them to act immediately."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi sat up straight and asked with a serious expression:
"Did you offend another Titled Douluo?"
"No, but I found a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that just transformed."
Yu Xiaowei spread his hands and said calmly.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't stay seated anymore. He stood up, walked toward Yu Xiaowei, stared into his eyes, and asked in surprise:
"Confirmed?"
"Absolutely. Senior Dugu is already monitoring the beast's movements. The only issue is that there's a Level 95 Titled Douluo guarding it. We might not be able to handle him alone."
"Level 95? Assault-Type?"
Unlike Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi was clearly calmer. Stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Will your uncle also help?"
"Yes. Senior Dugu Bo will help too."
"Alright, then Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone will join in as well. Have you decided how to distribute the soul ring and soul bone?"
Yu Xiaowei didn't answer directly but instead asked back:
"Does the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have any elders close to the title rank who are loyal to the sect, like Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone?"
"Yes."
Ning Fengzhi was a bit surprised but then smiled and nodded.
Having received confirmation, Yu Xiaowei answered without hesitation:
"Then the soul ring will go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the soul bone will go to my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and hesitantly said:
"If I also want the soul bone, what's the condition?"
"Two soul bones of at least 80,000 years, or two dragon-type soul bones of at least 70,000 years. Otherwise, forget it. Even if you're my father-in-law, we need to keep things clear. Let me say upfront—the opponent holds the title 'Clear Sky.'"
"Clear Sky Douluo! He's actually Level 95!?"
Ning Fengzhi immediately frowned upon hearing the name.
The reputation of the Clear Sky Douluo was legendary across the continent. He was the youngest Titled Douluo in Spirit Hall's records, and when he first reached Level 90, he had defeated two Level 95 Titled Douluos.
Facing someone like that would truly require the combined strength of both clans—and even then, cooperation would be essential.
However, Yu Xiaowei's trade conditions were harsh.
It's not that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect lacked soul bones, but a high-quality one like that was their sect's legacy soul bone.
It would be like cutting off Ning Fengzhi's arm just to get a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, giving up on the deal.
Even so, his eyes burned with eagerness. The sect now had a loyal close relative who had reached Level 89 in soul power.
It was truly a blessing that this hundred-thousand-year soul ring had come to their doorstep at this moment.
Once the elder absorbed it and advanced to the Titled rank, he would have combat strength on par with Level 92 or higher.
At that point, with three Titled Douluos, the sect's foundation would grow even more solid.
In the days to come, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's main goal would be to provide every possible resource to help this Soul Douluo advance as quickly as possible.
The operation to capture the hundred-thousand-year soul beast was set for the day this Soul Douluo reached Level 90.
