Chapter 510 The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Exposed
Several days later.
All of the Shrek Seven Devils were fully prepared to head to Sunset Forest, dozens of kilometers away.
The team was led by Flander and Zhao Wuji, the dean and vice dean respectively, and accompanied by two other people, Qin Ming and Yu Xiaogang.
As for the three teachers from Shrek Academy, Shao Xin, Lu Qibin, and Li Yusong, they remained at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Unlike Yu Xiaogang, who received benefits from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy but only taught the Shrek Seven Devils, they adhered to the principle of fulfilling their duties while teaching the Shrek Seven Devils, and also taught other students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so they did not travel with others.
In the courtyard where the Shrek Academy students live.
Looking at their dingy green school uniforms, the Shrek Seven Devils all seemed a little depressed and listless.
Whether it was intentional or not, Flander designed a special uniform for the Shrek Seven Devils based on the uniform of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Not only were the original bright silver-white hospital uniforms completely changed to green, but it was also the kind that was slightly yellowish, the legendary "poop green".
In addition to the original Heaven Dou Royal Academy logo, five large red characters, Shrek Academy, were specially embroidered on the front of the chest.
It has to be said that Flander's aesthetic sense is indeed a bit bizarre, successfully shocking all of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to wear it due to Flander's tyranny.
At this moment, the Shrek Seven Devils were wearing this red and green academy uniform, which was so ugly it was almost unbearable.
Looking at his masterpiece, Flander, also dressed in a turquoise green, nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand:
"Set off."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, who were leading the way, took the lead, walked out of the courtyard, and quickly left the Tiandou Royal Academy, running towards Sunset Forest.
The crowd behind them followed.
…………
After the Shrek Academy students left the courtyard.
Suddenly, two figures, one in black and one in white, emerged from the shadows in the courtyard.
Both figures were tall, one was burly and the other was slightly thin, but both were of medium build.
The burly figure wore a tattered black robe, and the slovenly hood obscured his face, making it impossible to see his features. He held a dirty gourd of wine in one hand and a half-dead Blue Silver Grass in the other.
It was Tang Hao.
The white figure in front of Tang Hao appeared somewhat thin, dressed in a snow-white robe with hair as white as the robe. However, compared to Tang Hao's disheveled appearance, his long, snow-white hair was meticulously combed, down to the last detail.
This was an old man with a simple and unadorned appearance, a white face without a beard, and skin as smooth as a baby's, but his expression carried a faint indifference.
He stood ramrod straight, like a sharp sword, his eyes half-open and half-closed, revealing a piercing gaze. He gave off an air of arrogance, as if he were the center of the world.
"I never expected that the person sent by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be you, Sword Douluo Chen Xin."
Tang Hao gulped down a large mouthful of cheap ale, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and said in a hoarse voice.
Just as Tang Hao said, the white-haired old man who appeared with him was one of the two guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Looking at Tang Hao, who was dressed slovenly and exuded a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, decadence, and a lack of motivation) aura, Sword Douluo frowned slightly:
"I never expected you to still be alive, Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao."
"It is said that when you first entered the Title Douluo realm, you were able to kill Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, who was at the level of a level 95 Super Douluo. You truly deserve to be one of the Haotian Twins. I admire you."
"If I could, I'd really like to have a good match with you."
A sharp sword light flashed in Sword Douluo's eyes, as if he was eager to try, but he quickly restrained himself.
"However, judging from your current appearance, killing Pope Qian Xunji back then was obviously not easy, and the price you paid must have been considerable. You seem to be injured."
Upon hearing Sword Douluo say that he killed Qian Xunji, Tang Hao was too lazy to explain. It was true that he had severely injured Qian Xunji with a single blow back then, but he had not killed him with his own hands. As for how Qian Xunji died later, he did not know.
Perhaps he succumbed to his injuries? Who knows? But it's certain that Qian Xunji's death was related to me.
As for his injuries...
Tang Hao curled his lip and chuckled coldly:
"Heh, that trash Qian Xunji is no match for me at all. How could he possibly hurt me?"
"The injuries on my body were not caused by him, but by someone else."
Sword Douluo was somewhat surprised and subconsciously asked:
"If it wasn't Qian Xunji who injured you, then who was? If even Qian Xunji couldn't hurt you, then who else in the Spirit Hall could?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind:
"Could it be the Golden Crocodile Douluo who led his army to attack the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Rumor has it that Golden Crocodile Douluo is the strongest person in the Spirit Hall today, with a strength of up to level 98 Super Douluo. I wonder if this is true."
"Not Golden Crocodile Douluo."
Tang Hao shook his head, then gritted his teeth and said:
"It's Qian Daoliu. All my injuries are thanks to him."
If Qian Daoliu hadn't been so unethical and personally chased him for a whole month, how could he have used that mysterious power to fight for a chance of survival when he was on the verge of death?
If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be in this state now, with indelible hidden injuries on my body, suffering torment every minute and every second, only able to numb my nerves and alleviate the pain through alcohol.
Sword Douluo's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What? Qian Daoliu? How is that possible? How could he still be alive? We haven't heard of him being alive in the last few decades."
Tang Hao took a deep breath to calm his slightly rapid breathing before slowly saying:
"Nothing is impossible."
"It's not surprising that Qian Daoliu, that old bastard, is still alive, with a cultivation level of 99, the Limit Douluo realm."
"After all, a Title Douluo has a lifespan of at least two hundred years, while a Limit Douluo can live for a thousand years."
"As for why there is no news about him on the Douluo Continent, I think it is probably related to the fact that he has never shown his face and that the Spirit Hall has secretly blocked the news."
Back then, he thought that Qian Daoliu, like his grandfather Tang Chen, had long since disappeared or even died many years ago. But he never expected that Qian Daoliu was still alive and well.
It wasn't until Tang Hao saw Qian Daoliu personally come to hunt him down that he realized how stupid, ridiculous, and arrogant his initial thoughts had been.
After hearing Tang Hao's explanation, Sword Douluo was shocked and felt a mix of emotions.
So Qian Daoliu is still alive. Heh, that makes sense. How could someone like him die so easily? He's an unparalleled expert who could defeat my father.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's father was a level 97 Super Douluo peak expert. Unfortunately, at the age of 108, he challenged the peerless expert Qian Daoliu with his sword, failed, and died.
However, before he died, he told Chen Xin, who was not yet a Title Douluo at the time, about the level difference after reaching level 95 of the Title Douluo he had learned during the challenge.
The reason why Sword Douluo has such a clear understanding of the realm divisions above Title Douluo is because it comes from his father's teachings.
Although his father died at the hands of Qian Daoliu, Sword Douluo felt no hatred in his heart, because challenging Qian Daoliu was his father's own choice, unrelated to any grudges, purely driven by his beliefs.
Those who wield a sword should have the confidence to challenge any strong opponent. Sword Douluo also upholds this belief, which is why he has achieved what he has today.
Of course, given the opportunity, he would not hesitate to draw his sword against Qian Daoliu to avenge his father.
After all, although there was no hatred, there was still a blood feud for the murder of his father.
Since Qian Daoliu is still alive, I should take him as my role model, strive to cultivate, and reach a higher realm. One day, I will definitely draw my sword and fight him.
I must let him know that in the Seven Kill Sword Chen family, it's not just my father who dares to draw his sword against him; there's also me, Chen Xin.
At this moment, Sword Douluo's heart was suddenly filled with fighting spirit, his eyes flashed with sword light, and his sword intent burst forth, as if his swordsmanship had been improved once again.
Sensing the sudden surge of sword intent emanating from Chen Xin, Tang Hao frowned and couldn't help but warn him:
"Sword Douluo, please tone it down. This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Are you trying to make sure everyone knows you're here by unleashing your sword intent here?"
"If we attract the attention of the Spirit Hall, it could have unpredictable consequences for our next steps."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo's sword light gradually subsided, and the surging sword intent erupting from his body also extinguished. He offered a faint apology:
"Sorry, I suddenly had a realization and couldn't help myself."
Tang Hao was speechless for a moment.
"The three members of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy seem to have noticed. Let's leave quickly and avoid any further complications."
After saying that, he swayed and took the lead in chasing after the group from Shrek Academy.
Sword Douluo didn't say anything more. With a flash of sword light, he soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon as a stream of light.
The direction they were heading was exactly the same as Tang Hao's.
…………
Time flies, and a month has passed quickly.
The Shrek Academy group had been deep in the Sunset Forest for over a month. With the Soul Ring Plundering Data provided by the Star Luo Royal Family Dai Clan for reference, Dai Mubai had already secured his fourth Soul Ring.
For the rest of the time, the Shrek Seven Devils spent almost all their time fighting and battling with spirit beasts, using their wits and courage to survive.
Through the stimulation of facing danger, all of the Shrek Seven Devils have grown stronger. Except for Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, who have reached the Soul Master realm, the other five have all increased their soul power by one level.
During this month, in addition to participating in combat training, Tang San would occasionally go out under the protection of Flander or Zhao Wuji to capture poisonous creatures and pick poisonous herbs to extract and refine poisons, while also secretly searching for the herb garden of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
But Dugu Bo's herb garden was not so easy to find.
Not to mention the vastness of Sunset Forest, searching for an unknown place in the vast forest is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Dugu Bo's herb garden is located deep in the Sunset Forest. Although it is not the core area, it is still more than a thousand kilometers away from the outer edge.
The Shrek Academy students must venture deeper into the Sunset Forest, specifically into the habitat of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, to have any chance of finding them.
However, with Tang Hao and Sword Douluo Chen Xin secretly protecting them, the Shrek Academy group did not encounter any danger along the way.
Any spirit beasts that could threaten their safety were dealt with by the two titled Douluo.
Almost everyone at Shrek Academy had their own things to do. The Shrek Seven Devils were training hard, while Flander and Zhao Wuji were responsible for protecting everyone's safety. Qin Ming, as always, was in charge of training the Shrek Seven Devils.
As for that certain useless master, he's too weak to go anywhere and can only hide in his tent to study his so-called martial soul theory.
…………
Another month has passed.
With Tang Hao's secret arrangements and Xiao Wu's constant whispers, Tang San, influenced by the two, easily persuaded Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and the others, gradually venturing deeper into the Sunset Forest.
We finally arrived at the area near Dugu Bo's herb garden, which is also the area where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is located.
As the number of poisonous creatures and herbs he encountered increased significantly, Tang San gradually realized that he was likely about to find Dugu Bo's lair.
He shared this discovery with everyone at Shrek Academy.
Everyone was filled with surprise and curiosity, eager to see what Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's herb garden looked like and what secrets it held.
Yu Xiaogang was the most excited among them. He had long coveted the super-limit absorption method of the soul ring in Dugu Bo's possession and wanted to get his hands on it.
With the opportunity right in front of them, they naturally didn't want to miss it.
And so, the next day...
Under Tang San's guidance, the Shrek Academy group finally arrived at Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's herb garden, which is near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Gazing at the mountain peak shrouded in thick white fog and dense forest from afar, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
Seeing the thick white mist rising from the distant mountaintop, Tang San's eyes flickered slightly, and he instantly realized that there must be a hot spring at the top of the mountain.
This also confirms that the location of the hot spring on the mountaintop should be the location of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's herb garden.
Logically speaking, hot springs are not suitable for nourishing plants because they contain too many minerals. However, some special plants are different and are extremely adapted to such an environment.
For example, plants such as highly poisonous herbs.
In other words, a place rich in minerals and geothermal resources is a natural breeding ground for highly poisonous herbs.
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo would make this place his own medicinal garden, the perfect place to cultivate highly poisonous herbs.
A gentle breeze blew in from afar, bringing with it a refreshing dampness. The rich energy of heaven and earth contained within the dampness made all the Shrek Academy students feel invigorated.
Tang San felt it most clearly.
He possessed the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, and coupled with his cultivation of the Tang Sect's unique internal energy technique, the Xuan Tian Gong, he was extremely sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He quickly and clearly sensed two rich and extreme types of spiritual energy from the moisture carried by the breeze.
This, this aura, is actually extremely cold ice attribute and extremely hot fire attribute?
How can two completely opposite extreme properties exist at the same time? No, that's not right. There is another situation where this special phenomenon can exist.
Could it be that...
At that moment, Tang San seemed to realize something, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
At the same time, the records about the three treasure basins in the Tang Clan's ultimate martial art, the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, quickly came to mind.
Could it be that the hot spring at the top of that mountain is a dual source of ice and fire?
