Chapter 28 - 28: Using a Dragon-Slaying Sword to Kill a Chicken
For a moment, the two seasoned individuals engaged in a heated verbal battle, each trying to outwit the other.
However, despite their sharp words, neither could gain the upper hand.

In the end, both could only let out a cold snort and fall silent.
"If that's the case, let's go together! Xiao Yu, you don't mind, do you?"
After a moment of silence, Yu Luomian realized he couldn't convince Dugu Bo and decided to change his approach. He turned to Xiao Yu.
He knew that if he asked Liu Erlong, she would definitely side with Dugu Bo and ask him to leave. Therefore, it was safer to ask Xiao Yu directly.
Seeing that Yu Luomian had put him in the position of mediator, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile wryly.
But since Yu Luomian had directly addressed him, he couldn't refuse.
After all, Yu Luomian was still his teacher's father.
He couldn't completely ignore him!
Now that Yu Luomian had taken a step back and suggested going together, what else could Xiao Yu say?
Could he really refuse and embarrass Yu Luomian?
Even though Liu Erlong wouldn't say anything, she would definitely feel uncomfortable inside.
Her disciple ignoring her father—Liu Erlong might resent Yu Luomian, but she wasn't heartless!
"Well, if that's the case, I guess we have no choice."
"Hmph!"
Dugu Bo could see Xiao Yu's dilemma and didn't say much, only letting out a cold snort.
This was his way of agreeing to let Yu Luomian tag along.
Dugu Yan really wanted to go with them, but she had only broken through to level 30 half a year ago and wasn't ready to obtain her spirit ring yet. Plus, hunting for spirit rings was dangerous, so Dugu Bo didn't allow her to come.
Before leaving, Dugu Yan gave Xiao Yu a big kiss on the cheek, telling him to come back safely.
This scene made Dugu Bo grit his teeth in frustration, but he knew that if he showed any displeasure, Yu Luomian would definitely mock him. So, he could only seethe internally.
Thus, to help Xiao Yu obtain his second spirit ring, a level 76 Spirit Sage, a level 89 Spirit Douluo, and a level 91 Title Douluo set off with Xiao Yu for the Sunset Forest.
Before long, the group of four arrived at the Sunset Forest.
As they walked through the forest, Yu Luomian used the aura of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to scare away the low-level spirit beasts nearby. At the same time, he asked Xiao Yu,
"Xiao Yu, do you have any thoughts on the kind of spirit ring you're looking for?"
"A light-attribute spirit beast, preferably one with dragon bloodline—a sub-dragon species!"
Xiao Yu answered immediately.
Hearing this, Yu Luomian couldn't help but frown slightly.
Light attribute?
Was this one of the reasons his martial soul had mutated?
It wasn't impossible...
Just as Yu Luomian was about to ask how Xiao Yu had gone from level 1 to level 20 so quickly, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu wasn't fully committed to their family yet. Asking now wouldn't be useful and might even annoy Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo. It was better to wait until Xiao Yu was fully on their side before asking.
So, Yu Luomian held back his questions and instead said,
"Alright, let's get moving! Today, your grand-teacher will make sure you leave satisfied!"
Yu Luomian led the way, while Liu Erlong stayed close to Xiao Yu for protection.
Dugu Bo, enjoying the leisurely pace, walked at the back.
"Thank you, Grand-Teacher! Thank you, Grandpa Dugu! Thank you, Teacher!"
Xiao Yu bowed slightly to all three of them.
Hearing Xiao Yu's respectful words, Yu Luomian couldn't help but smile, standing a little taller.
Dugu Bo also smiled, while Liu Erlong affectionately patted Xiao Yu's head.
For a moment, the tense atmosphere between the three of them eased significantly thanks to Xiao Yu's polite gesture.
Soon, the group followed the path deeper into the forest.
The outer areas were mostly populated by spirit beasts ranging from ten to five hundred years old. To find a high-quality spirit beast close to a thousand years old, they needed to venture further in.
Before long, shortly after entering the central area of the forest, they spotted a peculiar spirit beast radiating a dazzling golden light.
"Well, well, we're in luck! Right after entering, we've found a light-attribute spirit beast. What do you think, Xiao Yu? How about this nine-hundred-year-old Radiant Butterfly?
It's not a sub-dragon species, but its attributes are excellent, and its combat power rivals that of a thousand-year spirit beast! Plus, if you're lucky, you might even get an external spirit bone, which could allow you to fly!"
Yu Luomian asked.
"Hah! You think flying is that easy? Nonsense!"
Dugu Bo sneered.
Yu Luomian ignored him and looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu stared at the spirit beast for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, Master. I'd still like to try for a sub-dragon species. If we can't find one in the end, I'll consider this one."
Xiao Yu wasn't in a rush about the spirit ring's age. After opening two treasure chests, his first spirit ring had already reached a thousand five hundred years.
What he needed most now wasn't the spirit beast's age but the most suitable spirit ring—one with dragon bloodline that could help his Wo Long martial soul evolve!
Even if the spirit ring's age was slightly lower, as long as it allowed his martial soul to evolve, it would be worth it!
After all, Xiao Yu guessed that future treasure chests would likely reward him with ten-thousand-year spirit ring upgrades. So, a difference of a few hundred years now wouldn't matter much in the long run.
"..."
"Alright, let's keep looking further in! What a shame. Most of the spirit beasts in our family's Thunder Valley are lightning-attribute. There aren't any light-attribute ones, or else we could've just taken you there to get one!"
Yu Luomian sighed regretfully.
Then, the group prepared to move deeper into the forest to see if they could find a more suitable spirit beast for Xiao Yu.
However, just as they were about to leave, they heard an exclamation.
"Wow!! What a beautiful butterfly! Grandpa Sword, can I take her as my second spirit ring?"
"Rongrong, don't be naughty. Your second spirit ring can't be from this kind of spirit beast! Your father has already planned out your spirit rings!"
Following this voice was a sharp, powerful tone.
Hearing this voice and the name, the group, who had been about to leave, stopped in their tracks.
Dugu Bo was the first to speak up.
"Huh?! Sword Douluo Chen Xin?!"
"Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family?! Dugu Bo?!"
Hearing the voice, Chen Xin looked ahead and saw Yu Luomian, Dugu Bo, Xiao Yu, and Liu Erlong—an unusual combination.
"Isn't Dugu Bo from the royal family? Why is he hanging out with Yu Luomian, a member of the top three sects?!"
Chen Xin couldn't help but feel puzzled as he looked at this strange group.
