Chapter 60: A Distant Glimpse of Saint Spirit Village
After finishing the absorption of the Spirit Bone, Lu Chen leaped up from the ground and glanced down at himself. The clothes and pants that had fit him perfectly were now loose and baggy.
Lu Chen shook his head with a helpless smile.
"It seems that when I was absorbing the spirit ring earlier, my body was bloated into a ball by the massive energy, and my clothes were ruined then."
With those words, Lu Chen casually stripped off his clothes and pants, then took out a new set from his storage soul guidance device and put them on.
Once he was properly dressed, it was time to re-apply his disguise.
"The previous face definitely can’t be used anymore. I need a new look this time. As for the hair, it went from black to blue before; now, let’s change it from blue back to black."
Immediately, Lu Chen activated his Blue Silver Domain, using its disguise ability to reshape his appearance.
His long, deep blue hair turned as black as ink amidst a flash of light.
His young and handsome face also transformed within the light, becoming an ordinary, middle-aged face that no one had ever seen before.
Lu Chen was very satisfied with this.
"A ten-year-old seven-ring Spirit Saint would be enough to shock the entire continent, but a thirty-year-old seven-ring Spirit Saint won’t be nearly as eye-catching..."
He then scanned his surroundings.
"During the previous battle, these Blue Silver Grass subjects provided me with a lot of help. Now that my Blue Silver King Spirit has evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, I should show them some appreciation."
In the next instant, his Blue Silver Domain rapidly expanded in all directions under the continuous infusion of his mental force.
In just a few breaths, it encompassed every blade of Blue Silver Grass in the entire Blue Silver Forest.
"All-Encompassing Forest!"
Lu Chen murmured softly, and instantly, all the Blue Silver Grass in the entire Blue Silver Forest was forcibly assimilated into Blue Silver Emperors by his Blue Silver Domain.
Whether they were ten-year, hundred-year, or thousand-year Blue Silver Grass... at this moment, they all transformed into Blue Silver Emperors. As if they had consumed some ultimate tonic, they began to grow wildly, becoming taller and stronger.
This assimilation was, of course, temporary.
Once Lu Chen withdrew his Blue Silver Domain, these assimilated Blue Silver Emperors would instantly revert to their original forms as ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
However, since Blue Silver Grass was countless on this continent, being able to experience the feeling of becoming a Blue Silver Emperor in advance would be purely beneficial for their future growth and evolution.
All the "Blue Silver Emperors" in the entire Blue Silver Forest were cheering and jumping for joy because their Emperor had shown them the direction of evolution.
Meanwhile, just outside the Blue Silver Forest!
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan suddenly noticed that the entire Blue Silver Forest seemed to have come alive. Accompanied by a rustling sound, those wildly growing Blue Silver Vines even spread outside the forest.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan became a bit nervous.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
Dugu Bo, however, remained very calm.
"Don’t be nervous. Lan Chen probably caused this; perhaps he is testing his newly acquired abilities!"
Although Dugu Bo spoke casually, he still led Dugu Yan a bit further away to prevent those wildly growing Blue Silver Vines from suddenly lashing out and hurting them.
After about half an hour, those wildly growing Blue Silver Vines retracted into the forest one by one.
Then, a strange figure walked out of the Blue Silver Forest. He waved at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan from a distance.
"Big Brother Dugu, Yan Yan, don’t be nervous, it’s me!"
Looking at Lu Chen with his new face, Dugu Bo remarked in amazement:
"Lan Chen, your disguise ability is getting better and better. Even I can’t see any flaws in your face now."
"If it weren’t for the fact that you were the only one in this Blue Silver Forest, I wouldn’t have believed you were Lan Chen."
Dugu Yan looked Lu Chen up and down and immediately curled her lip. Now that Lan Chen was sporting an ordinary middle-aged face, it didn’t stir even the slightest ripple in her heart.
She put her hands on her hips and spoke with a hint of regret:
"Lan Chen, we’ve already seen your true face. Why do you still need to wear a disguise in front of us!"
Now, Dugu Yan no longer called him "Grandpa Lan Chen," but simply "Lan Chen."
Lu Chen smiled faintly and said:
"An ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime! My talent is my original sin. Big Brother Dugu, Yan Yan, it’s enough that you know my true appearance. As I travel the continent in the future, changing my identity will be a necessity."
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the aura of a powerful expert. With a sharp glint in his eyes, he said:
"It’s right to be cautious, but there’s no need to be overly timid. Now that you are a support Spirit Saint, with your assistance, I am confident I can hold my own against most Titled Douluo on the continent."
"On the way back, we can be perfectly open about it. Even if we lure out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, at worst, we’ll just fight them. It’s high time they learned that I, Dugu Bo, am not one to be trifled with."
While they were talking, Dugu Bo grabbed Lu Chen with one hand and Dugu Yan with the other. With a flicker of his body, he soared directly into the air and flew rapidly toward the distant horizon.
The Blue Silver Forest was located in the border mountain range, which wasn’t actually far from Nuoding City.
Under Lu Chen’s guidance, Dugu Bo flew near Nuoding City and landed on a mountain not far from Saint Spirit Village.
Dugu Bo asked curiously:
"Lan Chen, is there anything unusual nearby? It’s actually worth a special stop for you!"
Lu Chen didn’t answer. He closed his eyes and released his Blue Silver Domain, spreading it toward Saint Spirit Village.
In an instant, all the Blue Silver Grass within the Blue Silver Domain became his eyes and ears.
Through the perspective of these Blue Silver Grass, Lu Chen saw his parents and the village chief, Old Jack.
His parents and Old Jack all seemed to be doing well.
Lu Chen felt relieved.
In truth, Lu Chen really wanted to go back and visit, but reason told him that doing so now would likely lead to his death.
He currently lacked the strength to face Tang Hao head-on, and as luck would have it, his Blue Silver Grass Spirit had evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit.
Once Tang Hao noticed, he would undoubtedly come to kill him to keep the secret.
While Dugu Bo would certainly protect him, whether Dugu Bo could actually contend with Tang Hao remained a question mark.
On the Douluo Continent, anyone with the surname Tang could not be judged by common logic.
First, there was Tang San, who later held the God Positions of two gods—the Sea God and the Asura God—becoming the God King of the God Realm and even turning the Douluo Continent into his personal backyard.
Then there was Tang San’s father, Tang Hao, who became a Titled Douluo at only forty-four years old, hailed as the youngest Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent.
Tang Hao’s growth was also quite bizarre; he ventured through the Slaughter City, visited Sea God Island, earned the title of Divine Craftsman in the Blacksmith Association, and even had a love triangle with Tang Xiao and Ah Yin.
Despite being quite distracted, his Cultivation speed still surpassed the entire continent. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was the Child of Luck of the Douluo Continent before Tang San.
Therefore, although Lu Chen hated Tang Hao, he did not dare to underestimate him.
He wanted to kill Tang Hao and make him suffer the most cruel torture in the world, but everything had to wait until he possessed sufficient strength.
Additionally, before Tang San and Tang Hao, there was another Tang Chen on the Douluo Continent, who was also a formidable figure.
The Douluo Continent had three Limit Douluos: the Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, the Sea God Douluo High Priestess Bo Saixi, and the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen.
Qian Daoliu and High Priestess Bo Saixi were both god servants who had received benefits from Divinities to reach the rank of Limit Douluo.
But Tang Chen had reached the rank of Limit Douluo relying solely on a Clear Sky Hammer.
Thus, if Lu Chen wanted revenge, he had to plan for the long term.
