Three days later, Fang Ling was accompanied by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Under the envious gazes of those around them, they had just finished shopping and were walking back home.
Along the way, they acted affectionately, chatting and laughing, completely at ease.
Suddenly, Fang Ling looked ahead, his expression tensing, pupils shrinking, and he stopped abruptly.
The two girls looked at him in puzzlement. In the middle of the bustling street ahead stood a man in white.
His skin looked as smooth as a baby's, and his delicate, almost bewitching features gave off a strange allure.
If not for the Adam's apple on his neck, no one would think he was actually a man.
Although he appeared ordinary, with no aura around him, dressed only in a plain white robe, there was still an air of grandeur about him,like…
"A Titled Douluo!"
Combining that with his strikingly androgynous appearance, it was Chrysanthemum Douluo!
Inside the city, not outside, and standing openly on a busy street,this must be a feint, the real purpose being something else.
A thought flashed in Fang Ling's mind, and in an instant he understood the reason.
So this was to prepare for Xue Qinghe to win me over!
The "hero saves the beauty" tactic,simple and effective.
Qian Renxue must be nearby.
If he visited the crown prince's residence a few more times afterward, it would be enough for her to pull him into her camp, blocking any chance that Spirit Hall might try to eliminate him.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo!" Dugu Yan quickly recognized him.
As Dugu Bo's granddaughter, she knew all about the grudge between her grandfather and Chrysanthemum Douluo, as well as his effeminate appearance.
She wanted to call out loudly but was silenced by the pressure in his gaze,her mouth opened, but no sound came out.
Fang Ling stepped forward, unleashing a fierce battle will from his body, placing himself in front of the two girls.
With his own willpower, he blocked the pressure of a Titled Douluo.
"Oh?" Chrysanthemum Douluo let out a surprised sound.
Such rare willpower actually reminded him somewhat of Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword intent.
So young, yet able to temper such concentrated and powerful willpower to block his Titled Douluo aura,it was no wonder the old poison freak valued him.
"Twelve-year-old genius Fang Ling, with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring,only by joining Spirit Hall can you achieve your best growth. Would you be willing to enter Spirit Hall?"
He said it casually, not expecting agreement.
Didn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect offer a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone without success?
Still, if Fang Ling agreed, that would be a pleasant surprise.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, you are a dignified Titled Douluo. With Spirit Hall's prestige in the world, would you really do something like publicly seizing my teacher's disciple on the street?"
Fang Ling's eyes showed disbelief,just as they should.
He had been admitted into Nuoding Academy thanks to Su Yuntao's help.
He had even accepted Spirit Hall's stipends, so naturally, he should feel gratitude toward them.
Not like some ungrateful wolves who take the money and curse them behind their backs.
"You are an extraordinary genius, different from those mediocre people! What virtue or ability does that old poison have to deserve a disciple like you? Only in Spirit Hall can you receive the best teaching."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face remained calm as he looked Fang Ling over more closely, faintly sensing something unusual.
"I am already my teacher's disciple. I will never change my allegiance. Please leave, Your Excellency." Fang Ling's tone was firm as he refused again.
"That's not up to you! You must come with me!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes suddenly hardened, and an overwhelming soul power pressure,which in his mind Fang Ling could never resist,crashed down on him.
Then he reached out to grab Fang Ling.
So heavy!
Fang Ling felt as if a mountain had suddenly been dropped onto him.
Chrysanthemum Douluo might look delicate and feminine, but his martial spirit, the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, truly was deserving of its reputation.
The power was domineering and vast, utterly different from Dugu Bo's sinister soul power.
Fang Ling resisted with all his strength. His arms barely moved, and a faint golden glow began to spread across his body.
This was a deliberately displayed golden glow, from his Gold Body Lv. Max specialty.
There was no so-called residual medicinal power left, so no one would suspect anything.
After a year of near-death training combined with a powerful digestion ability, all medicinal power had long been consumed.
This was the true reason he could gain so many levels through meditation alone.
Even the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass,normally not fully digested until level seventy,had been refined completely. At Fang Ling's request, Dugu Bo had taken him and Ye Lingling back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Following the same method as last time, they had used even more Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor venom.
They hadn't even needed the suppressing toxin Ye Lingling had prepared,the extreme stimulation forced the remaining medicinal power into violent resistance, which was completely refined after two attempts.
Although the description of his specialty hadn't changed, his poison resistance had skyrocketed.
Fang Ling could now use his Gold Body passive with some proficiency.
The Ice-Fire-refined Gold Body didn't emit light, so its special ice-fire soul power couldn't be detected.
Of all the immortal herbs he had taken, golden light was exclusive to the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
At this moment, he deliberately triggered it to give people a believable reason for his rapid advancement. And since Chrysanthemum Douluo was here, there was no need to explain further.
This extremely familiar golden glow made Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes narrow sharply.
It was exactly like the feeling of his martial spirit.
His heart trembled, and he spoke with a faintly cracking voice, "Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum! Exactly the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum? You've eaten this immortal herb?"
"So that's it,no wonder you suddenly reached level forty-six, no wonder you could absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring."
"Diamond Body,this is Diamond Body! So this immortal herb really still exists in the world!"
Talking to himself, Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly understood.
He opened his right hand, and a faint yellow energy flowed into his palm. The yellow light gradually turned purple, with a hint of gold at its center.
As the purple glow spread, a large chrysanthemum blossomed. The petals were a magnificent purple, each one soft and furry, looking almost adorable.
The whole flower was seamless, yet it released no fragrance. The pistil in the center rose more than half a foot above the petals, glowing faintly gold at its tip.
It was the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
The stern pressure he had displayed earlier completely vanished.
In Fang Ling's astonished gaze, Chrysanthemum Douluo grasped his hand warmly and asked gently, "Fang Ling, would you be willing to take me as your teacher?"
The script doesn't match,was this what Qian Renxue wrote for you?
Things are moving too fast,why hasn't she shown up yet?
Or is there more to come?
"You see, my martial spirit is the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. I am the most suitable teacher for you in this world. As long as you take me as your disciple, then…"
"Chrysanthemum Douluo! What kind of stinking dog shit are you, daring to steal my disciple!"
At that moment, Dugu Bo, who had been secretly guarding Fang Ling recently, appeared at just the right time.
Giving them a plausible explanation was enough.
No one else knew exactly how much the immortal herbs had boosted his level.
This plan was one Fang Ling and Dugu Bo had discussed,if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dared to try and poach him in person, Spirit Hall was bound to respond.
Now they could see who came, and take the chance to reveal the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, preventing them from suspecting anything else.
