A... Titled Douluo?!
!!!
When Su Bai revealed his spirit rings, Dugu Yan's eyes widened in shock.
No matter how she tried to rationalize it, the incredibly young and excessively handsome man before her was a Titled Douluo, just like her grandfather.
He was far too young for that.
A Titled Douluo at such a young age, and she had never heard her grandfather mention him?
Moreover, his spirit ring configuration started with ten-thousand-year rings, and the last three were hundred-thousand-year rings.
Where did this monster come from?!
Wasn't it said that a spirit master's first spirit ring could only be up to four hundred years?
What she saw before her completely shattered her understanding of the world.
Yet, it was right before her eyes, so she had no choice but to believe it unless she was dreaming.
But one thing was certain: she now believed Su Bai had merely stumbled upon her by chance.
A Titled Douluo had no need to spy on her bath. Such a young and handsome Titled Douluo would have no shortage of women.
Realizing this, Dugu Yan felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry, senior. I was rude earlier."
"No problem."
Su Bai waved his hand with a smile. "And you don't need to call me senior. Just call me by my name, Su Bai."
Su Bai?
So that was his name?
It sounded nice.
Dugu Yan murmured to herself, then spoke earnestly, "Senior Su, I apologize for my earlier misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart."
She was certain now that the incident had been a misunderstanding.
So, any talk of compensation was unnecessary. Besides, one should not offend a strong person's dignity.
"It's fine."
Su Bai shook his head with a laugh. "Although I didn't mean to, I did see you bathing. You wanted a spirit ring, right? I can help you with that."
"Ah?"
Dugu Yan quickly shook her head, "No, no, it's fine. I'll ask my grandfather to help me with the spirit ring."
"Don't worry about it. Consider it my apology for the intrusion. Let's go!"
With that, Su Bai grabbed Dugu Yan's hand and soared into the sky.
Dugu Yan was puzzled.
She had said no, yet this Senior Su insisted on helping her obtain a spirit ring.
Did he have some ulterior motive?
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
Given Su Bai's strength as a Titled Douluo, if he wanted to do something to her, she would be powerless to resist.
There was no need for him to go through all this trouble.
Maybe he really just wanted to help her find a spirit ring!
With this thought, a slight smile appeared on Dugu Yan's face.
Handsome and powerful.
Just her type.
Maybe this wasn't so bad?
"I've found it."
A quarter of an hour later,
Su Bai suddenly spoke.
He then descended with Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan soon saw a spirit beast that was perfect for her spirit ring and exclaimed, "A Mamba Snake?"
Her martial spirit was the Jade Phosphor Serpent, evolved from her grandfather's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
While its bloodline wasn't as pure, it still shared the same origin.
And the Mamba Snake was a highly venomous snake.
As a poison-using spirit master, this spirit beast was perfect for her.
She was a control-type spirit master.
Her method of controlling was through poison.
The Mamba Snake's venom was extremely potent, making it ideal for her spirit ring.
However,
After observing the Mamba Snake for a while, Dugu Yan hesitated, "Senior Su, while I appreciate your help, isn't the Mamba Snake's age a bit too high?"
Though the spirit beast was suitable, she had observed that this Mamba Snake seemed to be over ten thousand years old.
For a spirit master's fourth spirit ring, the maximum age limit was between four thousand and five thousand years.
A ten-thousand-year spirit ring? How could she absorb it successfully?
Could Senior Su be trying to get her killed by making her explode?
But if he wanted to harm her, he wouldn't need to go through such trouble, right?
Dugu Yan was deeply conflicted.
"Yes, I do want you to absorb it."
Su Bai nodded with a smile, then looked at Dugu Yan, "Do you trust me?"
Dugu Yan looked up at Su Bai.
For some reason,
She instinctively nodded.
By the time she realized, it was too late to regret it.
Was she really going to explode and die?
Dugu Yan was on the verge of tears.
"Give me your hand."
Su Bai extended his hand. When Dugu Yan placed her hand in his, he said, "Close your eyes."
Dugu Yan was in torment, but she closed her eyes.
With Su Bai's strength, if he wanted to kill her, there was no need for such elaborate means.
Dugu Yan used this reasoning to comfort herself.
"It's done."
In an instant, Su Bai's voice reached her ears again.
Dugu Yan opened her eyes, bewildered.
What had he done?
But soon, her eyes widened in surprise.
"What did you do to me?"
She could clearly feel that her physique had strengthened significantly.
She felt confident that she could now absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring successfully.
But how did Su Bai achieve this?
His methods were too miraculous!
She couldn't help but be filled with curiosity about Su Bai.
Su Bai didn't explain, instead smiling, "You should go absorb the spirit ring now!"
With that, Su Bai launched an attack.
To Dugu Yan's amazement, the Mamba Snake was rendered powerless with just one strike.
As expected of a Titled Douluo with such extraordinary spirit rings, his strength was overwhelming.
Without wasting time, Dugu Yan hurried to finish off the Mamba Snake and began absorbing the spirit ring.
Su Bai's strike had been so powerful that any delay would have killed the Mamba Snake.
Before long,
Dugu Yan successfully absorbed the spirit ring.
Seeing the black spirit ring surrounding her, Dugu Yan was ecstatic and threw her arms around Su Bai.
Su Bai didn't hesitate, wrapping his arm around Dugu Yan's slender waist, feeling her soft, smooth skin.
He couldn't help but feel a stirring desire.
The woman before him was stunning, with a figure that invited his touch.
Dugu Yan quickly realized what she was doing and blushed deeply.
She whispered, "Thank you, Senior. Meeting you has been my good fortune."
"Call me Su Bai."
After holding her for a moment, Dugu Yan stepped back, smiling brightly. "Su... Bai, thank you so much. If you ever need my help, you can find me at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. My name is Dugu Yan."
Dugu Yan shared her information.
"Alright!"
Su Bai smiled and nodded.
After a moment of hesitation,
He spoke, "I can see that your body is filled with toxins. You must be poisoned."
Dugu Yan's face changed.
But she quickly composed herself.
Given Su Bai's strength, it wasn't surprising that he could see her condition.
She sighed, "Yes, it's poison from my martial spirit. Every time it flares up, the pain is unbearable."
"Even though my grandfather is a Titled Douluo and a poison expert, he has no way to cure me."
"I have a way to solve it."
Su Bai's words were confident.
