Sunset Forest, the Ice-Fire Dual Vision.
By the spring, Cheng Xiao was fiddling with the mysterious gloves he had retrieved from the auction house.
He still hadn't figured out how to activate them. Even when worn, they didn't display any special effects.
Strictly speaking, these "gloves" weren't really gloves. More accurately, they were dragon claws. But since they weren't activated, they couldn't reveal their true form.
At the auction, Cheng Xiao had sensed something from the claws. Even though the figure had their back to him, he was able to recognize the person's identity: one of the Nine Great Kings, the Destruction King—the Light Dragon King.
Dragon Emperor—Antares!
Cheng Xiao had been skeptical about whether the Dragon Emperor could arrive on Douluo Continent. Just like his Shadow King soul beast in another world had already returned to rest, the Dragon Emperor seemed the same.
So when Cheng Xiao saw the Dragon Emperor's presence in the dragon claw, he was puzzled. According to the universe in which he had upgraded alone, the Dragon Emperor had already been killed by the second-generation Shadow King, Cheng Xiaoyu, and had returned to rest.
Could it be that the Dragon Emperor, like the Shadow King, left behind some of his power? Or perhaps the Dragon Emperor from another world sensed the Shadow King's power and came here?
After all, the Shadow King had appeared in the Douluo universe; his mortal enemy, the Dragon Emperor, might also have the ability to arrive.
"Whatever comes, will come. If the Dragon Emperor truly arrives on Douluo Continent, then all I can do now is strengthen myself." Cheng Xiao placed the dragon claw on the ground and looked at the sky with a sigh.
He had been studying this dragon claw for several days with little progress. After all, it was the weapon of a mortal enemy; it was normal that he couldn't use it.
At that moment, a poisonous mist floated in, and Du Gu Bo's figure gradually appeared before Cheng Xiao.
"Cheng Xiao, have you figured out how to use this glove?" Du Gu Bo came to his side, eyes scrutinizing the dragon claw on the ground.
"No," Cheng Xiao shook his head slightly, picking up the claw and showing it to Du Gu Bo.
"Tch, this thing is indeed amazing. Such a simple dead object, yet even my poison cannot affect it. Seems like it has quite a background." Du Gu Bo examined the claw in awe.
Since returning from the Tian Dou auction house, he had tried everything to discover the material of the glove, but ultimately failed.
When his snake venom touched the dragon claw, it had no effect; in fact, the poison burned itself out shortly after contact, leaving him shocked.
"Indeed, it has quite a background, and it's terrifying," Cheng Xiao said, placing the claw down with a sigh.
"No worries. Even if it's powerful, with my strength as a title Douluo, I can surely protect you." Du Gu Bo said confidently.
Cheng Xiao chuckled. Since he hadn't told Du Gu Bo about the Dragon Emperor, the old man assumed the claw's owner was at most a title Douluo, hence his bold claim.
Cheng Xiao trusted Du Gu Bo's character; if the day ever came, he would rather Du Gu Bo abandon him and run far, so at least he could survive.
"By the way, give me back my Dan Pearl." Du Gu Bo held out his right hand in front of Cheng Xiao.
"How can I give it back?" Cheng Xiao's face darkened. That Dan Pearl was put inside me by you—how am I supposed to return it?
"Hehe, I have my ways." Du Gu Bo grinned. "I placed my Life Poison Pearl inside you back then to prevent you from killing me. Are you planning to carry my pearl with you for life?"
"Are you serious?" Cheng Xiao smiled. "This pearl actually helps me cultivate. If it's not important to you, it could just stay in me."
"Heh, you little guy, you've got your own plan." Du Gu Bo snorted, smacking Cheng Xiao on the head with a chestnut. As Cheng Xiao cried out in pain, Du Gu Bo pressed his hand over Cheng Xiao's lower abdomen, sending a surge of heat into his dantian.
Soon, a green-glowing Dan Pearl floated from Cheng Xiao's mouth into Du Gu Bo's palm.
"Geez, why does it feel kinda gross?" Du Gu Bo frowned at the pearl.
Cheng Xiao's face darkened. "Back when you made me swallow it, I didn't say you were gross."
Du Gu Bo smirked. Cheng Xiao had a point.
With the poison removed, Du Gu Bo's appearance changed considerably. His previously dark green hair had turned silvery-white; his eyes remained green, but his overall green aura had faded.
Blessed with immunity to toxins, his poison skills improved greatly. Previously untouchable poisons were now under his complete control. His power had broken past level 91 to level 92.
Du Gu Bo felt confident he could soon reach level 93—it was only a matter of time.
Satisfied with his body, he had gained immunity and a power breakthrough—a pleasant surprise.
"Cheng Xiao, you've stayed here for a while. Aren't you going back to the academy to continue learning?" After swallowing the Dan Pearl, Du Gu Bo asked.
"Hmm? Back to the academy?" Cheng Xiao was slightly surprised, then smiled. "Sure, why not? Your poison has been cured, so it's time I return."
Fearing a misunderstanding, Du Gu Bo quickly added, "I'm not sending you away. I just heard from Yan Yan that your Continent-wide Soul Master Elite Tournament is starting, so I'm reminding you. I'm not kicking you out."
Cheng Xiao smiled in understanding. "Don't worry. I'm not petty. Even without your reminder, I would have returned."
Du Gu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his earlier words were a bit off, but hearing Cheng Xiao say that, he smiled.
Sitting by the Ice-Fire Dual Vision spring, Du Gu Bo said solemnly:
"Kid, regarding your plan to create a force, I researched it. With our current strength, it's possible, though somewhat troublesome."
"Currently on Douluo Continent, the situation is tense. The Spirit Hall is the strongest; they have at least ten title Douluos, making them the uncontested number one power."
"Second is the Upper Three Sects led by the Hao Tian Sect, though you might know they have secluded themselves due to some matters."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect is an auxiliary sect. Though related to the Tian Dou royal family, Spirit Hall could annihilate them easily if they wished."
"The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family is weaker. They are neutral, supporting neither side, and apart from the old dragon Yu Yuanzhen, no one else can hold the family together."
"As for the lower four sects, Spirit Hall likely already controls them. Their strength easily allows it."
Listening to Du Gu Bo, Cheng Xiao understood the difficulty of forming a force. But he wasn't worried—his shadow soldiers provided a solid foundation. Personnel and power weren't an issue. Once he increased in level, all shadow soldiers would become title Douluos!
"Alright, forming a force can wait. I'll think it through before deciding." Cheng Xiao said.
"That's fine. When creating a force, maintain good relations with the royal family. Their help will make things much easier." Du Gu Bo advised.
"I've got it covered." Cheng Xiao smiled, standing and patting Du Gu Bo on the shoulder. "I happen to know a royal friend. With his help, it should be fine."
"Alright, shall I take you back to the academy, or to Tian Dou City?" Du Gu Bo smiled.
"Let's go to Tian Dou City first." Cheng Xiao replied.
Just as they were about to leave, the normally calm spring of the Ice-Fire Dual Vision began to boil, and the dragon claw on the ground emitted a crimson glow.
"This dragon claw… is sensing something?" Cheng Xiao narrowed his eyes, an idea forming in his mind.
