Chapter 25 The Excited Dugu Bo
Chapter 25 The Excited Dugu Bo
"Thank you for your kind words." Ye Qinghe said lightly to the stone mill below the stage, feeling particularly satisfied with the boost that the second soul skill had brought him. He then turned his gaze to the host.
The host, dressed in a tuxedo, finally realized what was happening and quickly walked onto the battle stage, loudly announcing, "The winner is Battle Spirit Master Black Heart Tiger, with a record of one win and zero losses. Congratulations, Master Black Heart Tiger. Please go down from the stage to register your points."
Dugu Yan and the others below the stage were already waiting for Ye Qinghe.
Upon seeing Ye Qinghe, Dugu Yan's female companions rushed forward with hearts in their eyes.
After all, it's rare to find a genius Soul Master with such strength and talent.
Dugu Yan walked over at this moment, smiling charmingly, "Brother Ye, you really are amazing. That Xuanwu Turtle Martial Soul of the stone mill is a top-tier defensive beast Martial Soul, ranking in the top five, or even the top three, in terms of defense. I never expected that you would break through its defense so easily. Look how much you've bewitched my sisters!"
"You're joking, senior. I was just lucky."
Ye Qinghe merely smiled politely at Dugu Yan's female companions, showing no intention of making contact with them.
After everyone settled their scores and received their gold soul coins as rewards for winning the battle, Ye Qinghe declined their invitations, citing his need to return to cultivation.
This annoyed Xiao Chenyu, since he was still interested in these female Soul Masters.
Ye Qinghe did not discourage Xiao Chenyu, but simply told him to focus on his cultivation.
However, he knew that most of Dugu Yan's companions were of noble birth and looked down on low-level Soul Masters who had neither talent nor strength and whose background was insignificant to them.
In the days that followed, Ye Qinghe would not only cultivate daily, but also go to the Soul Arena to fight every night.
Because of his winning streak, he could defeat any opponent, regardless of their type, in just a few moves. Gradually, the name Black Heart Tiger spread throughout the Heaven Dou City Grand Arena.
Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Hundred Beasts Academy has started its new academic year, and Xiao Chenyu and Ye Qinghe have officially become third-year students at the academy.
Because Ye Qinghe broke through to the Great Soul Master level at the age of nine, he received attention from the higher-ups of the Hundred Beasts Academy. Not only was his tuition waived, but he also received a scholarship of two hundred gold soul coins every year and was guaranteed a place in the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy.
As long as Ye Qinghe completes three academic years at the Hundred Beasts Academy, he can still enroll in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy after graduation, even if he is not a nobleman.
This allowed Ye Qinghe to experience the treatment he received as a top student on Earth in his previous life.
On the same day that the Hundred Beasts Academy started its semester, the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy also began its semester.
............
The Dugu family mansion in Tiandou City.
The original Dugu family was a small Soul Master family in Tiandou City.
By the time it came to Dugu Yan's generation, the family was even smaller.
Since the death of Dugu Xin, the son of Dugu Bo, the current head of the Dugu family, and his wife, Dugu Bo has rarely lived here. Usually, it is his granddaughter Dugu Yan who lives here.
Only occasionally would Dugu Bo return here to visit his granddaughter.
Just like today, when Dugu Yan enrolls in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Bo naturally wouldn't miss such a day.
"Yanyan, Yanyan, come out quickly. Today is the day you enroll in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Grandpa will accompany you to register."
Before they even entered the gate, Dugu Bo's voice rang out from outside the courtyard.
Then, Dugu Yan's impatient, crisp voice rang out from inside the house, "I know, I know, really, Grandpa, who's going to school, me or you?"
As they were talking, Dugu Yan walked out of the house.
To everyone's surprise, Dugu Bo froze the moment he saw his granddaughter. "Yanyan... Yanyan, you..."
"Me? What happened to me?"
Dugu Yan was puzzled.
"Yanyan, your hair, and your eyes... what happened?"
Dugu Bo moved swiftly and arrived in front of Dugu Yan, grabbing his granddaughter's shoulders with both hands and asking excitedly.
A faint glimmer of tears seemed to appear in Dugu Bo's eyes.
This startled Dugu Yan, who quickly replied, "You mean me? Last time at the Great Soul Arena, I met a junior from the Hundred Beasts Academy. After he saw me, he described my symptoms and wrote me a prescription. He told me to get a few doses of the medicine, decoct it, and take it. After taking it for a while, I did feel much better, but my eyes and hair gradually turned black."
As she spoke, she took out the prescription Ye Qinghe had given her and asked with some concern, "What's wrong, Grandpa? Is there a problem with this prescription?"
At this moment, Dugu Yan's appearance had not changed much compared to when she last met Ye Qinghe, but her hair and pupils were no longer so green and had gradually turned black.
Dugu Bo took a look, and although he didn't understand it, he wiped away his tears of joy and said, "No problem, no problem. Our Dugu family's hair and pupils have always been black. You've just changed back to your original color. Tell Grandpa what happened back then."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan did not hide anything and recounted how she and several friends were recognized by Xiao Chenyu at the Great Soul Arena that day, which led to their acquaintance with Ye Qinghe.
"You mean, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with your body, and that your symptoms were only treating the symptoms and not the root cause, and that if the cause wasn't found, it would recur sooner or later, and in severe cases, it could even be life-threatening?"
Dugu Bo became increasingly excited, his joy and excitement almost overflowing.
"Yes, that's what he said at the time."
Dugu Yan nodded, then she remembered hearing her grandfather scream in his room when she was little. Looking at Dugu Bo's hair and pupils, which were even greener than before, her gaze immediately turned worried. She quickly asked, "Grandpa, are you hiding something from me? Is this really going to be life-threatening?"
"Alright, it's alright now. Grandpa is a Title Douluo, how could anything possibly endanger Grandpa's life?" Dugu Bo smiled wryly and patted his granddaughter's head. "Come on, take Grandpa to see that little guy named Ye Qinghe. Speaking of which, he cured your symptoms this time, so we should thank him properly."
"Then shouldn't we sign up?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.
"That kind of thing. It's fine to go whenever I want. I doubt those old guys from the Tiandou Royal Academy would dare to embarrass me."
Dugu Bo sneered. He took his granddaughter and soared into the sky, heading straight for the Hundred Beasts Academy.
..............
Meanwhile, the Hundred Beasts Academy is holding its opening ceremony.
Ye Qinghe, as the youngest Great Soul Master in the academy, was pushed onto the stage to welcome the new students on behalf of the academy, which made him feel ashamed.
Unfortunately, one is bound to be indebted to those who feed them and accept their gifts.
Since I have accepted the college's guaranteed admission and scholarship.
Then I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on stage to read the script.
