NOVEL WEB Chapter 127: Hai Bodong’s Second Spring
Chapter 127: Hai Bodong’s Second Spring
He could only stubbornly respond, “Let him come! I want to see how he’s going to make me unable to get out of bed!”
Hu Qian, seeing her attitude, impatiently kicked her out. It was about time someone taught this girl a lesson.
Hu Qian then took out the intelligence report that had just been delivered from the drawer. After carefully reading it, his eyebrows raised slightly.
A Dou Emperor-level guardian—it seems this really is the heir of a powerful force coming for training. That extraordinary talent of his could also be explained this way.
Hu Qian sighed. What a pity, such a promising young talent, yet there's no chance with Jia’er.
Hu Qian then called Ruo Lin over and instructed her to pass on the message: don’t worry about saving face for me, just fight as hard as you can!
Upon receiving the news, Su Yun’s spirits lifted, and the next day he went to find Hu Jia. However, he didn’t personally make a move; instead, he let Xiao Yixian do it, beating her so badly that she couldn’t get out of bed.
Two months later, a powerful wave of Dou Qi radiated from Peace Town, strong enough to be sensed even from the outer courtyard.
Sensing this familiar aura, Su Yun stopped his cultivation and looked in the direction of Peace Town. This aura was as cold as ice and carried a hint of chilliness. Su Yun squinted slightly. It seemed Hai Bodong really was experiencing a resurgence. Judging by the sheer strength of this Dou Qi, after taking the Emperor Extreme Pill, he broke through two stars in one go, reaching the level of a Nine-Star Dou Emperor!
Su Yun was a bit surprised. This level of strength was quite impressive. After a few more years of settling down, and with a little bit of luck, if I refine a Zong Breakthrough Pill for him, this old man might just transform and become a Dou Ancestor powerhouse!
Meanwhile, in Peace Town.
Hai Bodong, feeling the powerful Dou Qi surging within him, flashed a look of wild joy in his eyes, but quickly calmed himself down. He withdrew his Dou Qi, went outside, and spread his Dou Qi wings, flying into the sky to meet a figure. He clasped his fists in respect.
“Sorry for the disturbance.”
The figure was none other than Wu Tianlang. Wu Tianlang nodded, with a polite smile on his face.
“No harm done. Since you’re a family member of an academy student, we’re all family.”
After exchanging pleasantries, the two went their separate ways.
Jia Nan Academy was always very courteous to the forces behind their students. The fearsome reputation of Jia Nan Academy stemmed precisely from this. When the Falling Heart Flame erupted and Han Feng attacked, the academy was caught off guard and thrown into disarray. Otherwise, if Jia Nan Academy had time to gather its former students, along with the forces backing them, dealing with a mere Han Feng would have been easy.
It’s just that Yao Lao’s murder hadn’t been exposed yet, and Han Feng had the backing of the Starfall Pavilion. Otherwise, even if you were a Nine-Star Dou Ancestor, you would not escape death.
The next day.
Su Yun and Xiao Yixian returned to Peace Town.
Looking at Hai Bodong before him, Su Yun clicked his tongue in amazement. “Hai Lao, you’ve really done it. It’s only been a short time, and you’ve broken through from a Two-Star Dou Emperor to a Nine-Star Dou Emperor.”
Hai Bodong wore a proud expression. “Of course! Do you know who I am? I’m the mighty Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong! Ah, hahahaha!!”
Su Yun, watching Hai Bodong laughing uproariously with his hands on his hips, didn’t know what to say. Xiao Yixian also stifled a laugh beside him.
It was Qing Lin who finally spoke, playfully scolding, “Grandpa Hai, aren’t you embarrassed? If it weren’t for the Young Master’s pill, you’d still be selling maps in the Tagore Desert!”
Hearing this, Hai Bodong’s body stiffened, his aged laughter abruptly stopped. He turned his head and glared at Qing Lin.
This girl—how could she speak such blunt truths? All that doting on her, for nothing!
Qing Lin stuck out her small tongue and made a funny face in response.
Seeing this, Su Yun couldn’t help but laugh as well. Qing Lin had become much more lively, which was a good sign.
Moreover, since she started following him, her diet had improved, and her previously thin and frail figure had filled out nicely, with the right curves developing where they should. Everything was heading in a good direction.
Over the past two months, although Su Yun's own cultivation hadn't advanced much, Xiao Yixian had managed to break through to a Seven-Star Dou Practitioner, jumping four small realms in one go, which was quite astonishing.
Su Yun and Hai Bodong then discussed the situation in the Black-Corner Region.
"By the way, in another month, Black Seal City will be hosting its annual auction. I plan to go check it out."
Hearing this, Su Yun was momentarily stunned. After a brief moment of reflection, he realized what Hai Bodong was referring to.
This Black Seal Auction was hosted by the Eight Gates Sect.
The Eight Gates Sect was a top-tier force in the Black-Corner Region, with formidable strength. The sect master, Yuan Yi, was a renowned Dou Emperor on the Strong Ranking.
Su Yun nodded. "Then let's go."
He had memories of this auction—Xiao Yan had encountered the third fragment of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame map and the Three Thousand Thunder Movement at this very auction. But that would be four years from now.
Since this auction was hosted by a force with a Dou Emperor, there was bound to be no shortage of good items. It was quite normal for Earth-Tier Dou Techniques to appear among them.
With this in mind, Su Yun retrieved a scroll of parchment from his system space and handed it to Hai Bodong.
Hai Bodong took it with a puzzled expression. The familiar sight of it made him feel a slight surge of excitement.
"What is this?"
Seeing his reaction, Su Yun couldn't help but smile. "Take a look, Hai Lao."
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong couldn't resist unrolling the scroll. His pupils contracted.
An Earth-Tier Low-Level Dou Technique: Frost Step!
This was a treasure!
Hai Bodong quickly stored it in his ring, fearing Su Yun might change his mind.
Su Yun didn’t argue with him about it. "The Black-Corner Region is full of strong individuals, Hai Lao. You should work on enhancing your strength. This Frost Step technique suits you perfectly."
Hai Bodong cleared his throat. "Then I'll gladly accept it."
Su Yun nodded in agreement. If he remembered correctly, Hai Bodong already had an Earth-Tier Low-Level Dou Technique called Ten Thousand Blossoms Ice Mirror, and combined with the Frost Step and the Profound Ice Dragon Soar of the Seven Ice Dragons, even if he encountered a low-level Dou Ancestor, he would still be able to escape with his life. That would give him a reasonable degree of self-preservation.
After Hai Bodong accepted the Frost Step, he then took out a large number of Magic Cores and placed them on the table.
Seeing this, Su Yun accepted them all. The forces Hai Bodong had established were now beginning to operate smoothly and could start generating profits, helping him to obtain resources.
This was also one of the reasons why Su Yun had Hai Bodong establish his own forces.
Although the Black-Corner Region wasn’t as peaceful as the Jia Ma Empire, it did have more abundant resources.
After Hai Bodong briefed Su Yun on the situation, Su Yun took Xiao Yixian and returned to the academy.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Tianlang took out the Grade Five pill Su Yun had given him earlier, the Recovery Pill.
As he recalled Hai Bodong’s recent advancement and the abundant fire-attributed Dou Qi emanating from Su Yun, Wu Tianlang grew increasingly suspicious.
His eyebrows twitched wildly. Could this student also be a Grade Six Alchemist?!
There weren’t many rare materials or pills that could raise a Dou Emperor's strength by two stars. The Emperor Extreme Pill was one of the most common.
Wu Tianlang shook his head. It was possible that the Dou Emperor had obtained some rare material or Emperor Extreme Pill in the Black-Corner Region.
However, the possibility that this Dou Spirit-level student was a Grade Six Alchemist was still very high…
After all, there’s no such thing as that many coincidences in the world.
