A New Member

Being bullied when young is one thing, but to be disgusted by this person in old age is another. It's too late, he's already put on airs!

"I think there's no need for discussion. How about this, Brother Dugu, you go and station yourself in Vastsea City?"

Vastsea City, as the name suggests, is a coastal area.

Dugu Bo's current martial soul is a Water Dragon, and in such a place, he can exert his greatest strength.

The sea is perilous, and so are the coastal cities. With Dugu Bo stationed there, safety is guaranteed.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo thought for a moment and then nodded.

Being away from the central area of the Douluo Continent is beneficial for him now.

Later, he can take his granddaughter Dugu Yan with him, which would directly sever her ties with Yu Tianheng.

"No problem, leave Vastsea City to me!"

Dugu Bo agreed without hesitation.

As for the distribution of benefits, everyone did not lay it out directly but contributed a bit to make up ten percent for the Dugu family.

This is the interest of a family, not just one person.

But the Dugu family only consists of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan...

"That's too much."

"Five percent!"

Dugu Bo refused. He understood that he was a newcomer, unlike the eight great families that existed when the Spirit Arena was first established.

After so many years of development, the eight great families have flourished, and the expenses are not a small amount.

For him, who has just arrived, and with only him and Dugu Yan in the Dugu family, ten percent is indeed too much.

Even though his strength is greater than most of the family heads.

Hearing this, everyone fell into thought.

To be honest, Dugu Bo's joining would disrupt the current structure of the eight great families, especially in terms of interests.

Giving ten percent to Dugu Bo is already very frightening!

Why not eleven percent?

People like Violet and Fucalorus, who have contributed to the family, also have a share. Their family might not even get ten percent...

Giving ten percent is already considering the face of the Water Dragon martial soul.

Dugu Bo's mention of five percent instead made everyone look at him with new respect.

They cannot be capricious; they must consider their own family members and also their allies. This way, everyone can maintain long-term development.

Five percent is neither high nor low.

For the sake of long-term development, they really can't agree to Dugu Bo's five percent.

"How about this, the Dugu family takes eight percent, and each of our families gives up one percent, how about that?"

"No problem!"

"We have no problem either!"

Everyone agreed to Lexicus's proposal.

Each giving up one percent is equivalent to no change, just an additional Dugu family.

With the conversation reaching this point, Dugu Bo couldn't refuse.

"As long as I live, I will give out three percent of the profits every year to reward outstanding soul masters of the Spirit Arena!"

The three percent mentioned by Dugu Bo is not of his total income but of the total profits!

That is, he only takes five percent!

"Brother Dugu is so generous!"

"On behalf of the younger generation in our family, thank you, Brother Dugu!"

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded.

This Dugu Bo is not as difficult to get along with as imagined.

No wonder Neuvillette values him and even granted him a divine martial soul!

The scene shifts to the royal knights' camp.

"What did you say?"

"Dugu Bo went to the Spirit Arena?"

Qian Renxue was baffled and asked with some confusion.

"Yes, little... Your Highness."

"The heads of the eight great families gathered, and Dugu Bo went to the Spirit Arena!"

Qian Renxue was puzzled. The heads of the eight great families only gather for the annual meeting.

And each year, where the meeting is held is decided by drawing lots.

The annual meeting just passed two or three months ago; it couldn't be the annual meeting.

Then, it must be a conspiracy for something big!

Before Qian Renxue could say anything, Ci Xue appeared.

"Miss, Dugu Bo has joined the Spirit Arena!"

"Just now, the Spirit Arena issued an announcement!"

"Uh..."

Qian Renxue and She Long were stunned, their eyes twitching. Was it that fast?

For them, Dugu Bo joining the Spirit Arena is actually a good thing!

Given the relationship between Dugu Bo and Xue Xing, how could he abandon Xue Xing and go?

Dugu Bo: Relationship? It was just a transaction.

For Dugu Bo to join the Spirit Arena and no longer inquire about any disputes on the Douluo Continent, there are mixed feelings of joy and sorrow!

The Heaven Dou Empire only had Dugu Bo as a guest official!

And now?

This guest official has switched sides!

Neither Xue Ye nor Xue Xing can do anything about it.

Dugu Bo was always a free agent, coming and going as he pleased.

If it weren't for Xue Xing saving his life once, he wouldn't have served as a guest official in the Heaven Dou Empire for so long.

Over the years, he has done more than three things for Xue Xing, fulfilling the promise he made back then.

Leaving, whether for righteousness or something else, is justifiable.

For people like Qian Renxue, especially She Long and Ci Xue, who were sent to the Heaven Dou Empire, the main reason was to protect Qian Renxue.

Besides, both of them were quite restrained by Dugu Bo!

That's why they were sent.

Now that Dugu Bo has run away, they...

She Long and Ci Xue have no idea that if Dugu Bo didn't run away, the two of them combined would not be a match for Dugu Bo!

Still restrained?

The roles of attack and defense have changed!

Even Lexius couldn't beat the current Dugu Bo, not just because of the gap in soul power, the restraint of attributes, but also the suppression of martial Spirit!

After all, it's the Water Dragon!

In the early morning, all things revive.

The royal knights are cooking, as the most elite troops of the Heaven Dou Empire, their daily meals are very rich.

Not only are three meals a day guaranteed, but the food is also good.

Without energy replenishment, how to train?

The breakfast for Neuvillette and Focalors is specially delivered by "Xue Qinghe".

Made by a food system soul douluo personally!

For this soul douluo, it is an honor to prepare food for Neuvillette and Focalors!

Each food item is carefully selected...

Neuvillette and Focalors come from Fonatine, and those who understand know the situation there.

Nobility?

Many nobles on the Douluo Continent are not as picky as the two of them.

For example, Neuvillette does not eat fried or grilled foods.

Neuvillette is very picky about the water he drinks and the food he eats...

Focalors is slightly better. In the past, she never had anything good to eat.

Not long after she became adult, Egeria entrusted her with a heavy responsibility. To solve the problems of Fonatine, Focalors had no time to enjoy good food...

After solving the problem, she was gone, or rather, she was the problem, and then the problem was solved...

It was only after regaining some humanity that Focalors inherited some of the personality and preferences of Furina.
