Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 12: Yu Tianheng’s Despair

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yu smiled and said,

"Senior, as a Titled Douluo, your investment in me is an honor. It shows that you value me, and I dare not break my promise to you!

I am well aware that although I have talent, it is just talent. I cannot compare to a renowned Titled Douluo like you, whether in terms of bearing or strength!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Dugu Bo felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Although many people had flattered him like this before, none had made him feel as pleased as Xiao Yu did today.

However, despite his inner joy, his face remained cold and indifferent as he sneered,

"Enough with the flattery. I've never been one for empty words. Remember what you've promised, and make sure you deliver. Alright, I'll take my leave now. You can head back on your own."

With that, Dugu Bo's figure vanished.

Seeing Dugu Bo disappear, Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief.

As expected, the best approach with Dugu Bo was sincerity. Trying to flatter him might not have worked as well.

Xiao Yu then quickly went to Liu Erlong's side, supporting her waist as he prepared to take her back to Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts!!"

Earlier, when her nerves were tense, Liu Erlong hadn't felt much pain.

Now that everything had settled, her nerves relaxed, and the pain hit her like a tidal wave.

Liu Erlong was in so much pain that she could barely walk.

"Wo Long, use Radiant Breath!"

Seeing Liu Erlong grimacing in pain, Xiao Yu called out to Wo Long.

"Radiant Breath?"

"Yes, Teacher. The first spirit skill I obtained from my spirit ring is called Radiant Breath. It not only has decent offensive power but also significant healing effects. It can even purify some negative emotions! Although my current strength is low, since it's a healing-type spirit skill, I think it should help ease your pain a bit."

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Wo Long exhaled a golden breath toward Liu Erlong. The breath seamlessly entered her body.

Instantly, the intense pain Liu Erlong had been feeling began to subside rapidly.

She could also feel the bleeding in her wounds stopping under the influence of the radiant energy.

"Wow, this is amazing! Xiao Yu, your first spirit skill is practically divine!"

Feeling the state of her body, Liu Erlong was utterly astonished.

The effect of this first spirit skill was so powerful that it could even heal a Spirit Sage like her.

"Teacher, this is just the effect of the spirit skill. It doesn't actually heal your injuries—it just reduces the pain. Once the skill's effect wears off, you'll return to your previous state. But don't worry, I'll use the skill periodically so you can walk back comfortably."

Xiao Yu explained.

A first spirit skill that could heal a Spirit Sage? That would be too miraculous.

"This is already great, Xiao Yu. You've done well. I haven't spoiled you for nothing. Let's go, back to the academy!"

With Xiao Yu's support, the two began making their way back to the academy.

Wolong followed beside Liu Erlong, occasionally exhaling Radiant Breath to keep her pain at bay.

As they walked, Liu Erlong looked at Xiao Yu, who was supporting her, and felt a complex mix of emotions.

What had started as a simple trip to obtain a first spirit ring had led to a profound change in Liu Erlong's mental state.

From her actions during Xiao Yu's spirit ring absorption to the stark contrast between the two silhouettes in her memory, and the voice in her heart urging her on—all of these left Liu Erlong feeling deeply conflicted and torn.

On the way back, Xiao Yu took a moment to check his system panel.

[Host: Xiao Yu!]

[Spirit Power: Level 15!]

[Martial Soul: Wolong!]

[Martial Soul Type: Light Dragon Lizard Species!]

[Evolution Direction: Dragon Lizard Species → Sub-Dragon Species!]

[Evolution Count: None!]

[World Energy: 20 points!]

[Achievements: Liu Erlong has engraved the host in her heart! 10x Cultivation Speed!]

[Conquered Targets: Liu Erlong (44%)]

Looking at this much-improved panel, Xiao Yu felt a sense of relief.

After all, he was now a true genius.

"Yu Tianheng, how many times have I told you? Call me Dugu Yan, not Yanzi. We're not that close!"

"Yanzi, I just wanted to invite you to dinner. I've already booked the restaurant. Could you please grace me with your presence?"

"I'm not going. My grandfather is coming back today, and I need to go see him."

Hearing this, Yu Tianheng immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

The psychological trauma from the last time he pestered Dugu Yan and was threatened by Dugu Bo hadn't faded yet.

Seeing Yu Tianheng cower at the mention of her grandfather, Dugu Yan grew even more annoyed with him.

If he didn't even dare to face her grandfather, how could he possibly pursue her? It was pure delusion!

Just as Dugu Yan was about to leave, she heard a voice call out.

"Tianheng?! What are you doing here?"

Hearing the call, both Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan turned to look.

Soon, they saw Xiao Yu supporting Liu Erlong, with Wolong standing nearby.

"My heavens, Auntie!! What happened to you?! How did you get so badly injured?!"

Seeing Liu Erlong in such a state, Yu Tianheng quickly stepped forward to help support her.

At the same time, he indignantly said,

"Auntie, who hurt you like this? Tell me, and I'll avenge you!! How dare they mess with someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family! They're asking for death!"

Yu Tianheng spoke righteously, his eyes subtly glancing toward Dugu Yan.

With Dugu Yan nearby, he wanted to showcase his bravery and impress her.

Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Liu Erlong was about to say something to comfort him, but Xiao Yu, sharp-eyed, beat her to it.

"The one who injured Teacher was an eighty-thousand-year Golden-Scaled Illusion Breaker Beast. If I remember correctly, it's a spirit beast that can rival hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts with its bloodline power. It's still in the outskirts of the Sunset Forest. You should be able to find it if you look. Teacher's revenge is in your hands!"

"..."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words and seeing his serious expression, Yu Tianheng instinctively let go of Liu Erlong's hand. His face turned pale and awkward.
