Chapter 2872: Emerging from the Shadows_1

Du Gu Bo then cast a glance at his granddaughter, "Yan Zi, why are you still clinging to that boy? I came here today especially to see you!"

Seeing that her heart was still with Yu Tianheng, he couldn't help but feel a bit displeased...

Upon hearing these words, Dugu Yan's ears heated up, and she immediately moved closer, wrapping her arms around Du Gu Bo's arm and coyly said, "Grandfather, of course, I missed you. I was just concerned about Tian Heng's condition."

"There are too many people here, let's go somewhere else to talk!"

After saying this, she gave Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng a secretive look...

Du Gu Bo didn't notice this gesture and nodded, "Alright then, let's go somewhere else to talk, and see if this Qin Ming has taught you well!"

Dugu Yan said proudly, "Then, Grandfather, you might be in for a surprise, my strength has increased quite a bit!"

As they talked, their figures gradually moved away...

Seeing this, Qin Ming and the other person still respectfully bowed with their fists and said, "Senior Du Gu, please take care."

Once the presence completely vanished, Qin Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Phew... Worthy of being the Poison Douluo, possessing such terrifying pressure without even releasing his Martial Soul. He is probably not far behind a Hyper Douluo!"

Yu Tianheng also agreed, "Yes, Senior Du Gu is one of the most special Title Douluo in the entire Continent. Although he is only at the level of an Ordinary Title Douluo, not a single Hyper Douluo would wish to fight him to the death!"

The reason was just that, the terrifying poison!!

Unleashed at full power, it could wipe out a sect, or even an entire city!

Qin Ming didn't refute, but instead said again with a serious tone, "Tian Heng, although Yan Zi already asked just now, I will ask you again, Senior Du Gu didn't do anything to you, right?"

He was still somewhat worried that Du Gu Bo might have secretly done something to him...

Yu Tianheng smiled slightly, "Teacher Qin, rest assured, Senior Douluo of Poison truly only gave me guidance and did nothing else!"

Qin Ming stared at him for a dozen seconds before continuing, "It seems that Poison Douluo indeed did nothing to you, so I will not ask further!"

He paused for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "It's just, regarding that Xu Sheng, I'm not sure if I should tell you!"

Yu Tianheng's eyes shone with eagerness, "Teacher Qin, what do you mean by that?"

Could it be that Teacher Qin had already found information about that Xu Sheng!

Qin Ming pursed his lips and sighed, "Well, I might as well tell you, otherwise, you might have lingering concerns."

"After you returned to the academy, I asked three commissioners to inquire about this Xu Sheng!"

"It turns out he is not a Soul Master from the soul fighting arena but a person from the Martial Soul Hall, said to be a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation!"

"Not only that, but on the second day, Heaven Dou Royal Academy received a warning from the Martial Soul Hall!"

Yu Tianheng took a sharp breath, shocked, "Hiss... I never would have guessed that this Xu Sheng was someone from the Martial Soul Hall!"

Seeing his expression, Qin Ming continued, "Therefore, Tian Heng, if you wish to seek vengeance, it would be best to abandon that idea!"

Yu Tianheng couldn't help but lower his head, clenching his fists, "Does that mean, I have no way to prove myself?"

Although he had overcome his psychological shadow, he was not content with losing to Xu Sheng!

But to his surprise, Qin Ming gave him an answer beyond his expectations...

"No, there is a chance!"

Yu Tianheng's eyes shot up, full of fighting spirit, "Teacher Qin, please tell me!"

Even if he wasn't a match for him with all his might, at the very least, he wanted to force his opponent to use his Martial Soul!!

Qin Ming's words were certain, "Since Xu Sheng is part of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, he will definitely participate in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition. By then, he is bound to encounter the team from Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

With a single sentence, Yu Tianheng had an epiphany…

"I understand, Teacher Qin, you want me to have an honorable fight with him in the competition!"

Qin Ming approved, "Correct! This also gives you time to train harder and become stronger, so you won't suffer another terrible defeat!"

A fire reignited in Yu Tianheng's eyes, "I understand, Teacher Qin. In the future Continental Elite Soul Master Competition, I will win against him!!"

…

After leaving, Du Gu Bo, looking at Dugu Yan clinging to him like a little bird, teased her, "Yan Zi, tell Grandpa the truth, do you like that Yu Tianheng?"

Dugu Yan immediately let go of her grandfather, her face turning into a panicked mess, "Grand… Grandpa, what are you talking about? We're just teammates; there are no other feelings!"

Du Gu Bo pressed on, "Really? Then why are you so close to him, and even constantly talking about him beside me?"

Dugu Yan was at a loss for words, "This… This is because Tian Heng is our captain, so, so…"

The former gave her a dismissive glance, "Oh, come on, you can't fool your grandpa with those little thoughts!!"

Dugu Yan became obviously annoyed, "Grandpa, if you keep talking like this, I'm going back!"

Du Gu Bo panicked as well, hastily waving his hands, "Okay okay okay, let's not talk about that boy anymore!"

Dugu Yan's mood somewhat improved, "That's more like it!"

Du Gu Bo's green eyes sharpened, "Then Yan Zi, Grandpa wants to ask you another question, about that Xu Sheng who defeated Yu Tianheng, have you ever seen him?"

Dugu Yan almost subconsciously replied, "Of course I've seen him, he's a very hateful guy!!"

If it weren't for Qin Ming, she would have attacked him already!

Hearing this, Du Gu Bo pressed further, "How does he look, and how old is he??"

Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment, picturing Xu Sheng in her mind…

For a moment, she appeared almost love-struck…

"He is quite handsome and not much older, probably the same age as me…"

But the next second, she vehemently shook her head in denial, "No, no, he's not as handsome as Tian Heng, and he's only a little stronger than Tian Heng, and an old man, too!"

"Anyway, he is a no-good fellow!"

This behavior made Du Gu Bo somewhat skeptical of her words…

"Do you know his background??"

Dugu Yan hadn't expected her grandfather to be so concerned about Xu Sheng, holding her chin thoughtfully, "Ah? As for his background… Teacher Qin should know. He seems to have asked the three commissioners at Heaven Dou Royal Academy to investigate!"

Du Gu Bo nodded in understanding, "I see, I'll go and ask him myself later!"

Dugu Yan seemed to remember something and cautioned, "Oh, Grandpa, Teacher Qin is a teacher I respect, so please be polite to him!"

"If Teacher Qin leaves the academy because of this, I might end up with a terrible teacher to guide me!!"

Du Gu Bo replied somewhat nonchalantly, "Alright alright, I will be a bit more polite to your Teacher Qin!!"

Perhaps, this Qin Ming does have excellent teaching skills, to be held in such high regard by Yan Zi!
