Douluo Continent: Ultimate Sea God Dragon, Inheriting Two Godhoods

Chapter 49 is too young; half a year

Qian Renxue left.

Before leaving, she took with her the Acacia Heartbreak Red and the Snow Swan Kiss. However, just in case, Ouyang Ling also made her take the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item for self-defense, in case she was affected by the Snow Swan Kiss.

In addition, Ouyang Ling also selected a top-grade medicinal herb for Elders She Long and Ci Xue.

Although it cannot compare to the Immortal Grade, it is still a rare treasure, enough to allow them to break through the level 94 threshold and successfully advance to the level 95 Title Douluo.

As for Ouyang Ling…

He naturally remained in the realm of ice and fire.

……

Inside the Crown Prince's Palace of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"Elders, you may both leave now."

Qian Renxue dropped her disguise and said to She Long and Ci Xue, "Since Xiao Ling has chosen suitable herbs for you, take them as soon as possible. Otherwise, the medicinal effects may be lost if too much time passes."

She noticed their eagerness and went along with it, which pleased She Long and Ci Xue.

"Yes, young master." ×2

At this age and with this level of cultivation, opportunities to be moved are truly rare. Fortunately, this opportunity to further enhance their cultivation lies within this realm. They've been stuck at level 94 for nearly five or six years, without making any progress.

After all, at their age, their potential has been largely exhausted, and it's really not easy for them to go any further.

So the two of them left one after the other, leaving only Qian Renxue in the room. As the voices outside, which occasionally said, "You absorb first, I'll protect you," gradually faded away, Qian Renxue took out the Acacia Heartbreak Red from her storage soul tool and stared at it blankly.

Thinking back to what Ouyang Ling had said…

"puff--"

As her inner soul power circulated and her blood and qi surged, Qian Renxue parted her cherry lips slightly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The moment the blood fell onto the petals, the "Heartbreak Red of Longing" trembled slightly, then quietly left Wu Jue Shi and fell into Qian Renxue's delicate hand, where it shone with dazzling brilliance.

Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a happy smile appearing on her pretty face, but her eyes were fixed on the beautiful flower in her hand.

"It seems the answer in my heart is clear."

With her head bowed, her eyes filled with a mixture of pity and love, her fingertips gently caressed the petals.

"But you're still too young. That's okay, I have time to wait for you to grow up..."

Ultimately, she did not choose to take it.

Instead, she put the Acacia Heartbreak Red into her bosom.

……

From that day on, Ouyang Ling settled down in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Apart from spending a lot of time figuring out all the herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and then researching suitable pills for Dugu Bo's condition, he basically spent all his free time immersing himself in the Extreme Cold Yin Spring to cultivate.

After all, no simulated training ground can compare to the Frosty Yin Spring. Perhaps only the yet-to-be-born Mysterious Ice Cave on the entire continent can achieve this.

As for the college holidays…

That thing is long gone.

Furthermore, to avoid causing worry to everyone in the academy, Qian Renxue personally went to the teaching committee to request leave from the three committee members on Ouyang Ling's behalf. She explained that he was currently cultivating with Dugu Bo and therefore did not have time to return to the academy.

Dugu Bo naturally acquiesced to this.

Because every time he returned to his herb garden, Ouyang Ling would give him a pill that had been prepared in advance, making necessary preparations for the poison pill method he had chosen. This required pill contained not only some herbs that could nourish his meridians and enhance his resistance to poison, but also the two springs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Ouyang Ling did this so that Dugu Bo could extract the soul power and toxins contained within the pill, while preventing the extracted toxins from harming Dugu Bo's body. Afterward, the toxins were stored in the soul bone as a temporary storage point.

Using this method, after only three courses of treatment, the pain caused by the toxin backlash to Dugu Bo had already been significantly reduced, and even the bottleneck that Dugu Bo had not been able to break through for many years showed signs of breaking.

However, when Dugu Bogang was overjoyed by this sign and shared the news with Ouyang Ling, he was met with unsurprising looks.

In Ouyang Ling's words, it would be something like this:

"What's so strange about that?"

"Isn't this what should be done?"

It even went a bit overboard at the end. Because that look in Dugu Bo's mind directly transformed into "Once I get my title, breaking through from level 91 to level 92 will be a piece of cake!"

This infuriated the old poisoner!

He left with the words, "You're really arrogant, kid," leaving Ouyang Ling completely bewildered.

During their time together, Dugu Bo discovered that although Ouyang Ling was intelligent and seemed to have received guidance from a master in his martial spirit cultivation, he was still a novice when it came to poisons and medicine making. This gave Dugu Bo a sense of pleasure in "being a teacher," and he began to impart his knowledge to him one by one.

This can be considered a true example of following and practicing.

Ouyang Ling did not reject this idea.

With the mindset of "I will learn if you teach me", the relationship between the two was no longer limited to gratitude and appreciation, but gradually developed into a close friendship that transcended age and teacher-student relationship.

As for the rest, Dugu Bo tacitly refrained from asking. Similarly, Ouyang Ling didn't say anything. Everyone has secrets, but they don't affect friendship.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

For the past six months, whenever Dugu Bo was away, Qian Renxue would come over whenever she had free time, and she would stay for most of the day. She would either tell him about things happening in the outside world, or the two of them would sit quietly and enjoy each other's company.

What struck Ouyang Ling as odd was that Qian Renxue's attitude towards him seemed to have changed compared to before.

But this change left Ouyang Ling with a strange, inexplicable feeling; he couldn't quite put his finger on what the problem was. Yet, his intuition told him it wasn't a bad thing.

In addition, Dugu Yan would also come to see him.

Ironically, when Dugu Yan first met Ouyang Ling in the herb garden, she attacked him from head to toe, making him feel very uncomfortable.

However, Dugu Yan's reason was:

"I'm worried that Grandpa is mistreating you."

After that first time, during the school term, Dugu Yan usually only took time off when she didn't have classes at the academy that day. Of course, she wasn't the only one who did this.

Because the existence and location of this medicinal garden must not be known to outsiders, Yu Tianheng and the others' concerns are written in letters and delivered by Dugu Yan to Ouyang Ling, thus enabling them to maintain communication.

The information revealed in the letter indicates that:

Yu Feng and Auslo, those two idiots, were overjoyed to learn that Ouyang Ling had taken a semester off! In their words, they were finally free from being punching bags.

But before they could even enjoy their happiness for a few days, the news somehow reached Qin Ming's ears.

The result was disastrous!

Looking at the o(╥﹏╥)o at the end of the letter, Ouyang Ling felt both amused and exasperated. "Serves him right!"

"Right?"

Seeing this expression, Dugu Yan became interested.

"This is what the Shi brothers told Teacher Qin."

"Graphite, stone mill!?"

Ouyang Ling looked surprised.

Wow, that's really something!

"What, you don't believe me?" Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a little smug, seemingly quite pleased with Ouyang Ling's expression.

"Lingling told me this. She said that these two idiots were so eager to celebrate that they wanted to set off firecrackers, and then the Shi brothers couldn't stand it anymore and asked Teacher Qin to deal with them."

"Should!"

Ouyang Ling sneered, a malicious grin spreading across his face. "Tell them to wait. When I get back, I'll give them a good beating!"

"Pfft—"

Dugu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, revealing a wicked smile. "Then I'll wait and see what happens."

"OK."

After putting the letter written by Yu Feng and Aosi Luo into the Ruyi Baibao Nang, the next letter from the Shi brothers came into view.

You won't know the result until you see it.

It was a pleasant surprise to see.

"oh!"

Ouyang Ling looked up in surprise, "It worked?"

"They succeeded." When this was mentioned, Dugu Yan congratulated the Shi brothers on having acquired a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but also felt a bit helpless.

Playing with her now-restored jet-black hair, her tone tinged with resentment. "The tortoise shell was already tough enough. Apart from relying on Tianheng's powerful attacks and my poison, no one else could do anything about it. Now, with the addition of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, not only is my poison perfectly blocked, but even Tianheng can't break through their defenses. Even if it's two against two, it's useless; we can only wait for their soul power to run out."

Ouyang Ling shrugged. "There's nothing we can do about it. The Shi brothers' Martial Soul Fusion Technique is just too strong."

After glancing at their expressions of gratitude, Ouyang Ling read on the contents of Ye Lingling and Yu Tianheng's letters.

Ye Lingling is alright,

Because I'm not good with words, it's all just everyday stuff.

In contrast, Yu Tianheng,

It's either a challenge or a thank you.

The expression of gratitude was naturally related to Dugu Yan. However, it was worded subtly, without explicitly stating it. This was because the matter was something they both knew in private, and they absolutely could not bring it up openly.

Otherwise, Dugu Bo would have gone there already.

After reading all the letters, Ouyang Ling replied to each one.

Of course, the Shi brothers together, and then Yu Feng and Aos Luo count as one.

Although the latter two were somewhat odd, Ouyang Ling and Dugu Yan both agreed that:

This is fine!

"Dugu, then I'll leave it to you."

"Hand the letter to Dugu Yan," Ouyang Ling said.

"You're still telling me this?"

Dugu Yan waved her hand dismissively, "You saved my life, and you're asking if I'm a bother?"

Ouyang Ling: "..."

My fault, my fault.

Just as Dugu Yan was about to leave, she asked, "When are you planning to return to the academy?"
