Chapter 61: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Trio
Not daring to return to Saint Spirit Village, only daring to take a distant look to confirm that his parents and Old Jack were all doing well, Lu Chen left once again with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
In fact, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were very curious about what kind of place that was, that Lu Chen would go out of his way to see it.
However, since Lu Chen did not want to say, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan did not ask any further.
Then, the three of them headed north, retracing their original path.
When they first came, they were cautious the entire way, fearing that exposing their tracks would attract pursuit from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Now that they were returning, although they were not overly conspicuous, they were no longer as cautious, because they now had the confidence.
During their travel, Dugu Bo would still carry Lu Chen and Dugu Yan as they flew through the sky. However, when it was time to eat or sleep, as long as there was a city nearby, they would not stop in the wilderness.
After two days, they returned to the north of Jialing Pass, not far from the Sunset Forest.
However, just at this moment, the unexpected happened as expected!
In the clear, cloudless sky, a spatial rift suddenly split open. Then, the spatial rift grew larger and larger, gradually opening an Eighth Spirit Ability: Space Gate.
The next instant, three figures emerged one after another from that Eighth Spirit Ability: Space Gate.
Two of them were Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, whom Lu Chen had already met.
The remaining person had a cold expression and sharp eyes, with white hair draped behind his head. Although his face was quite aged, one could vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth, and his posture was as upright as a drawn sword.
There was no need for an introduction; Lu Chen could already guess who this person was.
Sword Dao Chen Xin!
Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School trio had actually come together, blocking their path.
They had come with ill intent!
When Dugu Bo saw the three of them, his heart tightened at first; it would be a lie to say he felt no pressure.
But thinking of Lu Chen’s terrifying support ability, Dugu Bo’s heart gradually calmed down.
There was even a hint of eagerness on his face.
In the past, Dugu Bo only had Rank 91 spirit power and was always called the weakest Titled Douluo in the circle of Titled Douluo.
His fierce reputation mainly spread among low-Rank Spirit Masters.
Those high-Rank Spirit Masters all dared to speak loudly to Dugu Bo; this was blatant contempt for him.
And he couldn’t even refute it!
A single Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan from the Spirit Hall could beat Dugu Bo until he fled in a sorry state. If it hadn’t been for Prince Xue Xing bringing an army to help, Dugu Bo would certainly have been in grave danger.
That was what had already happened; let’s talk about what hadn’t happened yet.
In the original plot, Prince Xue Xing invited Dugu Bo to drive away the people from Shrek Academy at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
The three committee members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Committee Member Meng Shenji, Committee Member Bai Baoshan, and Committee Member Zhi Lin, were merely three Spirit Douluo, yet they dared to challenge Dugu Bo.
If he couldn’t even suppress three Spirit Douluo, Dugu Bo’s true strength, among Titled Douluo, truly belonged to the lowest tier.
As for the two Sword and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo had Rank 96 spirit power and was hailed as the sharpest spear of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while Bone Douluo had Rank 95 spirit power and was hailed as the strongest shield of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The greatest achievement of these two was in the future Spirit Hunting Operation, where, facing the siege of four Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall, they not only repelled the opponents but also severely injured three of them.
With this kind of solid strength, they were top-tier throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
With the two of them joining forces, plus the support of Ning Fengzhi, if it were the original Dugu Bo, he probably wouldn’t even have had a chance to escape with his life.
However!
The past was the past!
The present is the present!
Dugu Bo was no longer the same as before. He looked down upon Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong with full Divine Qi, and asked knowingly: "School Master Ning, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, you three are blocking our way; what is it that you want to do?"
Seeing Dugu Bo’s arrogant appearance, Gu Rong instinctively wanted to mock him a few times.
However, Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, causing the mockery that was about to escape Gu Rong’s lips to be swallowed back.
Ning Fengzhi appeared gentle as jade on the surface, and even though his heart was filled with killing intent, his face still carried a faint smile: "Your Excellency Jade Phosphor, the purpose of our coming here has nothing to do with you and your granddaughter. We just want to invite Mr. Lan Chen to visit our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School so that we can properly exchange insights on being a Support Soul Master."
"If both sides have a pleasant conversation, I also intend to invite Mr. Lan Chen to reside permanently at our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Speaking of this, Ning Fengzhi’s gaze turned to Lu Chen, who had once again changed his appearance. He frowned slightly, turned to look at Gu Rong, and said: "Uncle Bone, this person’s face looks unfamiliar; is he really Lan Chen?"
Gu Rong’s deep-set eyes stared fixedly at Lu Chen’s brand-new appearance. After careful identification, he finally nodded and said with absolute certainty: "That’s right, it’s him. Although his appearance is different, his aura is more or less the same!"
Only then did Ning Fengzhi breathe a sigh of relief. He had personally brought Gu Rong and Chen Xin out to intercept someone; if he had dragged an impostor back, he would have become a laughingstock.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Dugu Bo again. Although his tone was still very gentle, it revealed an unquestionable quality: "I ask Your Excellency Jade Phosphor to make it convenient for us. In the future, whether it is you or your granddaughter, if there is any place where you need our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely not shirk our duty!"
Although they hadn’t torn off their masks, Ning Fengzhi’s malice toward Lu Chen was already clearly revealed.
Dugu Bo did not hesitate at all. He firmly rejected Ning Fengzhi’s proposal: "Ning Fengzhi, let’s speak plainly. My Brother Lan Chen will absolutely not go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with you. If you leave now, I will pretend that I haven’t seen you today."
"If you persist in your stubbornness and are determined to harm my Brother Lan Chen, then you must first get past me."
"It just so happens that my strength has improved quite a bit recently, so I will use you, the Sword and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, to practice."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi’s eyes immediately darkened, and he secretly cursed him for being ungrateful.
Afterward, his face was devoid of any expression, and he said in a flat tone: "That is truly a pity. It seems we have no choice but to forcibly invite Mr. Lan Chen to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Uncle Sword, I know you have always disliked these kinds of things, so you will be responsible for holding back Your Excellency Jade Phosphor. As for Mr. Lan Chen, Uncle Bone will bring him back to the Sect."
Chen Xin nodded slightly. He knew about some things in the Sect, but as long as it was beneficial to the Sect, although he would not do it himself, he would not stop it either.
Just like this time, Ning Fengzhi had dragged him and Gu Rong out. Although he was somewhat resistant in his heart, he did not directly refuse.
As for holding back Dugu Bo, that was simply a piece of cake.
Gu Rong also nodded with a sinister grin. In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he had always been the one responsible for doing the dirty work.
There were at least eighty, if not a hundred, Genius Spirit Masters killed by him. This time, in his opinion, Lan Chen would undoubtedly die.
The only question was whether or not to kill Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan while they were at it, to avoid leaving any hidden dangers.
Facing the aggressive Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School trio, Lu Chen made a mental note of them, preparing to take revenge later.
But for now, he said very calmly: "Brother Dugu, let’s land in the forest; that is the most suitable battlefield for us."
Dugu Bo responded and immediately flew towards the forest.
And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School trio opposite them followed closely behind, flying towards the forest together.
