"Haha, Uncle Sword, you~" Ning Fengzhi chuckled, then continued, "But speaking of strength, Tang San said that when we meet Dugu Bo again, we'll be amazed by his strength. What do you think Tang San can do to enhance the strength of a Titled Douluo?"

"Tang San said that the medicine garden was shared between him and Dugu Bo, right? Maybe Dugu Bo also consumed some of the leaves and petals of those extraordinary plants." Sword Douluo speculated.

"It's possible, but not very likely."

Although Ning Fengzhi hadn't met Tang San a few times, judging from the meticulousness in his theories, unless deliberately hiding something, he wouldn't beat around the bush.

And since he was teasing, did it mean that Tang San could also sell the method to enhance the strength of a Titled Douluo to them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?

However, what kind of price would be required?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan didn't have chips similar to "Dugu Bo's medicine garden"...

...

"Why is Yu Tianheng's cultivation speed so fast? Could it be that they're consuming immortal herbs?"

Wang Chen, the captain of the second team of the Tian Dou Royal Family, found Yu Tianheng, hoping for a sparring match, only to find that after Yu Tianheng's Martial Soul fused, his dragon claws had changed, each with nine golden stripes added. Moreover, his soul power level was very close to that of a Soul King.

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was indeed very powerful, the rate at which his soul power grew was extremely abnormal.

Moreover, not only Yu Tianheng, but the soul power of other members of the Tian Dou Royal Family's first team had also increased by a level.

Apart from immortal herbs, Wang Chen couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Darn it, the opportunity for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes was taken by Tang San!"

Back in the dormitory of the second team of the Tian Dou Royal Family, Wang Chen's face was dark as he pondered whether to go find Xue Qinghe and risk lowering his trust in him, to inform him of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

After much hesitation, Wang Chen gritted his teeth and decided to go find Xue Qinghe—

Tang San couldn't be allowed to continue growing!

So, Wang Chen hastily left the second team's dormitory and headed towards the palace of the Tian Dou City.

"Announce, Wang Chen seeks an audience," he said to the knights guarding the perimeter of the Crown Prince's palace.

"Wait." The knight recognized Wang Chen, but according to Xue Qinghe's rules, unless it was Ning Fengzhi, or Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo, or Bone Douluo, or Emperor Xue Ye, or Prince Xue Xing, anyone else, even Xue Beng, had to wait outside.

After a while, the knight who went in to report came out and said, "You may enter; His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees to see you."

Wang Chen didn't thank him but walked into the palace courtyard. Passing through the corridor built of ancient wood, he was about to knock on the door, only to see Xue Qinghe feeding fish in the courtyard.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Chen hurried to the edge of the fish pond and respectfully bowed.

"What's the matter?"

Xue Qinghe placed the fish food in his hand on the stone platform beside him, his gaze fixed on the fancy goldfish fighting for food in the pool, his heart unmoved.

"The members of the first team of the Tian Dou Royal Family have greatly increased in strength, and I suspect they have consumed some extraordinary herbs." Wang Chen said, "Especially Ning Rongrong; the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda has changed into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda."

"Soul evolution?" Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered, but his tone remained unchanged, "Something that can cause soul evolution can indeed be called an extraordinary herb... Have you found out how they obtained it?"

Although her heart was focused on "Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda," what she really cared about was—

"Tell me, how did you find out about Dugu Bo's medicine garden?"

"According to the timeline, the members of the first team of the Tian Dou Royal Family consumed the so-called immortal herbs last year, but they, or the families behind them, have hidden this matter very well. Neither I nor the Martial Soul Hall could find out. How did you find out?"

"Don't tell me, Tang San told you."

Saying "Tang San" told wasn't entirely wrong, after all, Wang Chen was recounting based on memories from his previous life.

But this couldn't be said out loud.

"Your Highness, the most important thing now is to inform the Martial Soul Hall and acquire the immortal herbs to strengthen ourselves." Wang Chen shifted the topic.

"Don't want to say?" Xue Qinghe chuckled lightly, "I hate it when people hide things from me, and you, as my subordinate, eat mine, use mine, wear mine, and still dare to deceive me. Don't you think it's too much?"

As the air began to feel hot and dry, cold sweat broke out on Wang Chen's forehead—he knew Qian Renxue's desire for control was strong, but he hadn't expected it to be this extreme.

Shouldn't the focus be on the immortal herbs?

Nevertheless, he had anticipated this, so he said, "This is a record I found in an ancient book, combined with the current situation of the first team of the Tian Dou Royal Family and considering Tang San's whereabouts over the past half year, it's a bold speculation."

"Oh? Where is the ancient book?" Xue Qinghe asked with interest.

"It was mishandled and lost... Cough!"

Wang Chen was sent flying backward, blood trickling from his mouth, his face instantly turning pale.

"You lost such an important ancient book? Why didn't you just lose your Martial Soul?" Xue Qinghe asked coldly, "From now on, every time you conceal something from me, you'll receive a strike from me, and each time, my force will increase."

"This time, I used 20 levels of soul power. Next time, it'll be 30 levels, then 40 levels, and so on."

"This is your punishment!"

"Also, if you dare to resist with soul power, I'll use my full strength."

Wang Chen struggled to his feet, half-kneeling on the ground, and said, "I know my mistake."

After a moment of silence, Xue Qinghe said, "If you dare to spread this matter to the Martial Soul Hall, then you won't need to live anymore."

"Why?" Wang Chen was puzzled.

"As my subordinate, what rules should you follow?" Xue Qinghe questioned.

"Obey orders, do not inquire, do not oppose, do not modify on your own..." Wang Chen shivered, reflexively reciting the guidelines from his back, feeling a sinking sensation in his heart, knowing he had overstepped.

"It seems you haven't forgotten."

Xue Qinghe sneered coldly, "What I want to do doesn't require your interference. Just obey my orders; there's no need for you to show off your cleverness in front of me."

As for the issue of the immortal herbs...

First of all.

Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, was not easy to deal with as a Titled Douluo.

Although Canghui Douluo restrained his toxins, they couldn't defeat him. If too many Titled Douluos were mobilized, it would attract the attention of other forces, who wouldn't just sit back and watch the Martial Soul Hall take action.

If they couldn't capture Dugu Bo and he escaped, retaliating against the Martial Soul Hall afterward would be difficult to defend against.

That guy's poison was a major weapon—

But the massacre!

Secondly, Dugu Yan was Yu Tianheng's girlfriend. If Yu Tianheng benefited, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would definitely reciprocate. The families behind the members of the first team of the Tian Dou Royal Family would undoubtedly also support Dugu Bo.

More importantly, the Martial Soul Hall didn't have a suitable reason to trouble Dugu Bo.

Haven't you seen that the Martial Soul Hall didn't intervene in the private grievances between Ju Douluo and Dugu Bo?

Furthermore.

Qian Renxue didn't want the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to fall into that woman's hands.

She came to the Tian Dou Empire disguised as a prince for two purposes: firstly, to prove her abilities to that irresponsible woman and make her regret using cold violence against her; secondly, to seize power in the Tian Dou Empire.

Between these two goals, proving herself to the woman took priority, after all, having the potential to become a god, she didn't really care much about earthly power struggles.

Her starting point was higher than that of all the soul masters on the entire Douluo Continent combined!

In such a situation, Qian Renxue didn't want Bibi Dong to obtain the immortal herbs and use them to cultivate her Golden Generation... unless those Golden Generation individuals regarded her as their superior.

As she waited for her successful power grab, there would still be time to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

Another point was that the Sunset Forest was not small in scale, and Wang Chen had no idea where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes were specifically located, not even a general direction.

Qian Renxue's current identity prevented her from openly contacting members of the Martial Soul Hall. With few people available, she didn't have the time or energy to explore the unknown areas of the entire Sunset Forest.

Furthermore, Qian Renxue didn't really attach much importance to the effects of those immortal herbs.

The Six-Winged Angel was a divine-level Martial Soul.

The effects of those herbs on her might just be to increase her soul power by one or two levels.

Wouldn't it be easier to explore later, after becoming a god?

Why rush?

Moreover, what if the members of the first team of the Tian Dou Royal Family benefited from consuming the immortal herbs? Ultimately, they would still have to submit to her in the future as she ascended to godhood.

However, that Sun Goddess Martial Soul of Huo Wu was somewhat interesting. In terms of grade, it was no less than the Angel Martial Soul of the Angel Clan, although it was inferior to her Six-Winged Angel.

However, she actually had a slight connection with Huo Wu, which meant that she and Huo Wu could perform Martial Soul fusion techniques.

Sun Goddess, Blue Silver Grass...

The Six-Winged Angel actually had connections with both of these.

It was quite unusual.

The light of the sun and the light of angels could complement each other.

And Blue Silver Grass and angels, one was a common weed on the ground, and the other was a divine spirit in the sky. Could they really perform Martial Soul fusion?

It was estimated that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass mainly focused on life, and most Martial Souls wouldn't reject this kind of energy. Some more peculiar Martial Souls were particularly eager for life force.

For example: the Six-Winged Angel(Seraphim), Sun Goddess, and other humanoid Martial Souls.

Martial Souls were also a part of a soul master's life, possessing their own spirituality, especially humanoid Martial Souls, whose spirituality far exceeded that of other Martial Souls.

Such Martial Souls required extremely powerful energy to truly manifest in the world.

And life energy was the best energy...

Thinking to this point, Xue Qinghe picked up the fish food again and began to throw it into the fish pond. Then she said to Wang Chen, "Alright, you can go now. Your task is to be a good captain of the second team of the Tian Dou Royal Family and lead them to the finals."

"If you find Tang San disagreeable, then just defeat him openly in the competition. There's no need to deliberately insult him in front of me."

"He's able to obtain so-called immortal herbs from Dugu Bo, and that's his ability."

Wang Chen was unwilling and didn't understand why almost everyone sided with Tang San. Clearly, he was also a transmigrator, and he even had a full innate soul power. Why couldn't Qian Renxue see him?

Hateful!

Truly hateful!

What's so good about that guy Tang San?
