Chapter 86: Gift and Dowry

Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

"Grandfather." Dugu Yan looked at Old Jerry next to Dugu Bo, with a puzzled look.

"This is Old Jerry, Su Wen's grandfather. You can also call him Grandpa Jerry," Dugu Bo introduced.

Old Jerry repeatedly waved his hand: "No need, no need."

"Grandpa Jerry it is." Dugu Yan, however, had already bowed and called out.

Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction, looked at Old Jerry, and said with a smile, "Old Jerry, my granddaughter will still need your support for her future cultivation."

Hearing her grandfather say this, Dugu Yan also looked at Old Jerry with curiosity.

"Energetic little Sweet Potato!" Old Jerry released his Spirit Skill, and a faint golden Sweet Potato surrounded by Dragon Qi appeared in his hand.

"Yan'er, give it a try," Dugu Bo said.

Dugu Yan obediently took the Sweet Potato and quickly ate it.

A gentle energy enveloped with Dragon Qi surged into her body, instantly energizing her. The Dragon Qi seemed to stir her Martial Spirit.

Dugu Yan felt that after the Dragon Qi merged into her body, not only did her physical qualities improve, but her Martial Spirit also seemed to be strengthened.

She looked at Old Jerry, her expression shocked.

Such effects should be top-notch even among Food Spirit Masters, right?

"Haha, Yan'er, Old Jerry's Sweet Potato strengthening effect is real. It indeed strengthens your body substantially. Even if the effect fades, it's like paving a good path for you. The efficiency of training to enhance physical qualities will be greatly improved," Dugu Bo explained Old Jerry's Spirit Skill effects in detail to Dugu Yan.

Indeed, Dugu Yan showed a surprised expression.

With this effect added, wouldn't this definitely be the top-tier Spirit Skill in the food category?

"As for the Dragon Qi, it will also dissipate along with the effects, but over the years, it can gradually activate the dragon bloodline in your Martial Spirit, ultimately completing its evolution," affirmed Dugu Bo. If Dugu Yan started taking this little Sweet Potato every day from now on, within thirty years, her Jade Phosphor Serpent would undoubtedly evolve into a dragon-type Martial Spirit.

Because his own Jade Phosphor Serpent had already mutated into a Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, it would be difficult for him to utilize the Dragon Qi of the small Sweet Potato to induce evolution. However, Dugu Yan's Martial Spirit was only a Jade Phosphor Serpent.

Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled.

"Grandpa Jerry, I'll trouble you from now on," she bowed to Old Jerry again.

Old Jerry quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Hey, no need for all this fuss," Old Jerry said.

In these days, Old Jerry had become quite familiar with Dugu Bo, so he wasn't so formal anymore. Besides, both Su Wen's and his own opportunities had come from Dugu Bo, so he was very grateful to him.

Regarding Dugu Yan, he also treated her like his own child.

"Yan'er," Dugu Bo's expression turned serious.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan knew her grandfather was about to discuss something important.

"Yan'er, what exactly is your attitude towards Yu Tianheng?"

Upon hearing the question about her relationship with Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan became a bit nervous.

She expressed her thoughts about herself and Yu Tianheng.

She and Yu Tianheng had been together for a long time. Dugu Bo already knew this. Now that Dugu Bo was asking so seriously, it was naturally about whether they were truly going to be husband and wife.

"Hmph, if he wants to marry my granddaughter, he must provide an adequate gift!" Dugu Bo said.

Dugu Yan was puzzled.

In her memory, her grandfather wasn't the type to place such importance on material things.

"Your toxins haven't been completely cured yet. To achieve complete peace of mind and utilize the precious medicinal materials from my side for cultivation, finding a suitable Spirit Bone is necessary," Dugu Bo said. "Originally, I was planning to find you a Spirit Bone that was over five thousand years old, but Old Jerry's Spirit Skill effects made me change my mind."

"Since you'll be absorbing the Spirit Bone and using it as a storage place for your toxins, this Spirit Bone is very important to you."

"After much thought, I've decided to have you absorb the Spirit Bone of a dragon-type Spirit Beast, at least of a ten thousand years old level. With this, along with the Spirit Bone and Old Jerry's small Sweet Potato, the possibility of your Martial Spirit evolving will come infinitely close to one hundred percent, and the time for evolution can also be as early as possible."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan also understood her grandfather's thoughts.

"But..."

This blatant demand for a Spirit Bone as a gift made her somewhat hesitant to speak.

"Hmph, but what? You are my Poison Douluo's granddaughter. Are you not worth a ten thousand years old Spirit Bone? Besides, I have prepared your dowry" Dugu Bo coldly retorted.

Back then, suggesting Su Wen to give Xiao Zhan the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was also a way to leave the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for Yu Tianheng.

Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "I'll talk to Tianheng about it."

Seeing this, Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction.

"Have that boy give an answer as soon as possible. It concerns your future, whether it's absorbing the Spirit Bone or taking the precious medicinal herbs, the sooner, the better."

"Yes, I will make things clear with Tianheng."

Old Jerry scratched his head while listening to the conversation on the side.

Could you two stop discussing these matters of gifts and let me leave first?

...

Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San sat cross-legged beside an ugly, giant spider, with a circle of purple Spirit Rings suspended around his body.

Blood flowed on his body, and his meridians burst.

He had turned into a bloody man.

Next to him, the ugly spider had a human face on its abdomen.

Man Faced Demon Spider.

Zhao Wuji and the others surrounded Tang San, watching him endure the pain brought by the two-thousand-year-old Spirit Rings with concern.

Xiao Wu was full of self-blame, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Ah!" Tang San let out a painful cry, as eight huge spider-like legs emerged from his back.

Several days later.

Shrek Academy.

"This is Grandmaster, Tang San's teacher. From now on, Grandmaster will be in charge of your training," Flender solemnly introduced his good friend to the six students in front of him, even speaking his Grandmaster title with a hint of reverence.

Grandmaster looked aloof as he glanced at the six individuals present.

"I've already learned about your situations from Flender earlier. However, in order to develop detailed training plans for you, I need to divide you into two groups and have a 3v3 real combat."

Upon hearing about the real combat, Dai Mubai and the others also prepared themselves spiritually.

Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu had all obtained their Third Spirit Rings before. Now, among the six of them, four were Spirit Elders, and two were Spirit Grand Masters.

"Since you have four Spirit Elders and two Spirit Grand Masters, each group will have two Spirit Elders and one Spirit Grand Master," Grandmaster began to arrange the groups. "Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, you three are a team. Tang San, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, you three are another team."

"You have three minutes to prepare."

...

Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

"Uncle Ning, Crown Prince," Su Wen didn't expect Ning Fengzhi's visit to also include the Crown Prince.

"Xiaowen, long time no see."

"Yeah, it's been a while."

Su Wen also felt emotional.

During this time, he had undergone earth-shaking changes.
