Chapter 107: A Plea for Help from Dugu Yan!

Perched on a large tree branch, a man in red watched the couple embracing by the lakeside. Just as he was about to turn away, another figure landed beside him. It was Flender, the Dean of Shrek Academy.

"Xiaogang, aren't you going to stop them?" Flender asked.

"Why should I?" Yu Xiaogang replied.

"Can't you see they're acting just to provoke you?" Flender pressed.

"Of course I know," Yu Xiaogang said.

"And you still won't stop them?" Flender asked, puzzled. Did Yu Xiaogang enjoy being cuckolded?

"Precisely because I know, I won't stop them," Yu Xiaogang answered.

"I don't understand; he's taking advantage of Erlong," Flender said, eyebrows raised in confusion.

"Erlong asked Mu Chen to pretend to date her just to provoke me. I've now broken through to level 67, becoming a Battle Soul Emperor. Becoming a Titled Douluo and proving myself is my lifelong wish. I can only apologize to Erlong. She's my cousin, and if we were together, our children's chances of having disabilities would be high. We can't be that selfish. Mu Chen is honorable and treats those around him well. I hope they can turn their act into reality," Yu Xiaogang explained in detail.

"She's Erlong! If you miss this chance, you'll regret it. Are you really that big-hearted?" Flender reminded him.

"Flender, aren't you the same?" Yu Xiaogang looked away from Flender, toward the couple by the lake.

"Me?" Flender was taken aback.

"Yes. You also liked Erlong, but you stepped back willingly. Like you, I believe loving someone doesn't mean having to be with them. If she's happy, I'm content," Yu Xiaogang said.

"Uh!"

Flender looked embarrassed, his feelings exposed, adjusting his glasses.

"Wait."

Flender stopped, recollecting Yu Xiaogang's words, and asked, "Did you just say your soul power reached level 67?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded, smiling, "Yes, I'm now a level 67 Battle Soul Emperor."

Flender laughed, thrilled at his friend's achievement, and asked, "How did your soul power increase so much?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the young man still embracing Liu Erlong and replied, "It's all thanks to his guidance. He suggested I venture into the empire's soul beast forest. I let San Pao eat many food-type soul beasts. I was surprised to find that San Pao could boost my soul power by consuming soul beasts. After spending time in the empire's forest, I went to the Star Dou Forest. After more than a year of hard training, my soul power has risen from level 30 to 67. Give me three more years, and I believe I can break through to Titled Douluo."

"Titled Douluo?" Flender repeated.

The term "Titled Douluo" was synonymous with strength.

Flender patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder, jokingly saying, "Looks like among our Golden Iron Triangle, you'll be the first to become a Titled Douluo. You'll have to look after me then!"

Yu Xiaogang chuckled, knowing Flender was joking, but he spoke seriously, "Reaching level 90 isn't my dream. Because of me, San Pao mutated in a negative way. When a soul master's power surpasses level 95, each additional level prompts a soul evolution. A level 99 Limit Douluo is my current goal."

"Li... Limit Douluo?" Flender was shocked. He wasn't new to Yu Xiaogang's ambitions and knew of the three Limit Douluos in the world, each undefeated in the sky, land, and sea.

Now, Yu Xiaogang was aiming to become a Limit Douluo!

This revelation left Flender astounded.

Yu Xiaogang believed that once his soul power reached level 95, San Pao might undergo a final evolution. He was curious about what San Pao would become.

"Flender, I'm leaving again," Yu Xiaogang said.

"So soon? You just returned," Flender asked, unwilling to see him go.

"I don't want to waste any time. I'm heading to the Star Dou Forest and won't return until I become a Titled Douluo!" Yu Xiaogang said, disappearing from the tree branch.

Flender watched, glancing at Mu Chen and Liu Erlong, still pretending to be a couple, then left.

"Hmm?"

Liu Erlong, always alert to the tree branch, noticed Flender and Yu Xiaogang leaving. She pushed Mu Chen away, blushing, and looked disappointedly toward Yu Xiaogang's departure.

Her heart ached deeply. Yu Xiaogang was unmoved, even seeing her with another man. It was heartbreaking!

**Ding Dong!**

"Congratulations, you've completed the E-level hidden task: Pretend to be Liu Erlong's boyfriend for a month. Rewards: 10 skill points, 300,000 soul power."

Perhaps due to the task's duration, even as an E-level task, Mu Chen earned 10 skill points and 300,000 soul power.

Mu Chen still needed 1.4 million soul power to level up.

"If even this doesn't provoke you, you both deserve to be single!"

Liu Erlong, neither excited nor happy, looked disappointedly at the direction Yu Xiaogang and Flender left.

Mu Chen nodded, agreeing with Liu Erlong. Flender and Yu Xiaogang were indeed too good-hearted, deserving their single status.

"Mu Chen, thank you for your help. From now on, you don't have to pretend to be my boyfriend," Liu Erlong said, thinking back to their closeness, her ears turning red. If she were calm, she'd never have kissed Mu Chen.

"No need to thank me; I've taken enough advantage," Mu Chen grinned.

"Mu Chen, watch your words. I hope you can forget what just happened," Liu Erlong said sternly.

"Brother, finally found you."

Just then, Xiao Wu ran up to Mu Chen, followed by Dugu Yan.

"Xiao Wu, what's up?" Mu Chen asked.

Mu Chen looked at Dugu Yan, puzzled why Xiao Wu was with her. One was a rabbit, the other a snake—natural enemies!

"Mu Chen, can you help my grandfather?" Dugu Yan asked before Xiao Wu could answer.

"Your grandfather?"

Mu Chen was taken aback, asking, "What's wrong with your grandfather?"

"A Titled Douluo suddenly came to challenge him," Dugu Yan replied.

"A Titled Douluo? Who is it?" Mu Chen asked, raising an eyebrow. Few dared provoke the Poison Douluo.

"I don't know, but my grandfather called him Chrysanthemum Douluo," Dugu Yan said, frowning.
