Chen Xin took Yu Xiaowei with him and didn't dare to look for Liu Erlong and the others. He had no choice but to take a detour and fly in another direction.
After making sure that the Titan Giant Ape couldn't catch up with them, they landed near a pond.
As soon as they landed, Chen Xin could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"A hundred-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape is definitely not something you can mess with!!!"
He sighed while taking out a secret healing medicine made by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and swallowed it.
After Yu Xiaowei checked the surroundings and made sure there was no danger, he asked nervously:
"Grandpa Jian, are you okay?"
"Just a few broken bones, nothing serious."
He looked at Yu Xiaowei—whose spirit and energy had completely changed—and asked in surprise:
"Xiaowei, how did you manage to come out of it this time?"
To be honest, even though Yu Xiaowei had previously insisted that he wanted to absorb the Sky Blue Bull Python's spirit ring and repeatedly assured that everything would be fine, Chen Xin had still been worried.
This child was the future of both of their families.
If anything happened to him, Chen Xin would carry the guilt forever.
Now that Yu Xiaowei had successfully absorbed a 100,000-year spirit ring, Chen Xin felt a mix of emotions—joy, shock, and curiosity.
Yu Xiaowei smiled and released his spirit rings:
Yellow, purple, purple, black, and red.
That beautiful red glow in particular made Chen Xin momentarily dazed.
This spirit ring ratio was both unusual and terrifying. Once again, he felt deeply fortunate that this genius was the son-in-law of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed Yu Xiaowei's soul power fluctuations. Chen Xin's face showed another look of astonishment.
"Level 57!!!"
"One spirit ring actually raised you seven levels!!!"
"Where's the spirit bone? Where's the spirit bone?"
In addition to his shock, Chen Xin suddenly remembered: the Sky Blue Bull Python was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, so it must have dropped a spirit bone.
He also knew that Yu Xiaowei already had a complete set of spirit bones, meaning another one must've been added.
When he mentioned this, Yu Xiaowei couldn't help but laugh.
With the sound of tearing fabric, a thick tail suddenly extended from his back.
Chen Xin immediately noticed that this tail was very different from the dragon transformation before.
Now, just a light swing of this dragon tail produced the sound of air tearing.
Its speed and power were completely different from before.
"This Sky Blue Bull Python dropped a piece."
"An external spirit bone!"
Yu Xiaowei laughed even harder.
After absorbing this external spirit bone, the resonance between the seven spirit bones in his body became stronger, and the ability of each bone was clearly enhanced.
He felt that his guess might be right. If he could break through level 100 and reach godhood, these seven spirit bones would probably become a set of divine armor that could be passed down through generations.
"Grandpa Jian, by the way, we really should thank that Golden Crocodile Douluo. If it weren't for that idiot, I wouldn't have had the chance to absorb such an amazing spirit ring and gain this spirit bone."
"Hahaha!!!"
Hearing Yu Xiaowei's words, Chen Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
In that quiet valley, the laughter of the old and the young echoed continuously.
After resting for half a day, the two of them set out to find Liu Erlong and the others.
Although Chen Xin said his injuries weren't serious, as a Title Douluo not known for defense, the Titan Giant Ape's strike had severely injured him.
The most serious was a rib fracture that had pierced his left lung.
If it weren't for his immense strength, any other spirit master of weaker power likely wouldn't have survived, let alone continued fighting.
Moreover, after suffering such injuries, he had flown a hundred miles with Yu Xiaowei on his sword before landing.
As a result, Chen Xin could no longer use his spirit power for the time being. If he did, his injuries might worsen beyond saving.
Yu Xiaowei carried him on his back and rushed toward the hiding place of Liu Erlong and the others based on memory.
Maybe because two Title-level battles had just occurred in the Great Star Dou Forest, both of them remained silent on the way back. Only the countless blades of blue silver grass swayed around them.
As they ran, Chen Xin—lying on Yu Xiaowei's back—suddenly remembered something.
"Xiaowei, you just poisoned the eldest woman in Spirit Hall."
"You think that unmatched Douluo won't head to Heaven Dou City to catch that old poisoner Dugu Bo?"
Yu Xiaowei's expression changed drastically, and he came to an abrupt stop.
"Damn it!"
"How could I forget that!"
"No matter whether it's Qian Daoliu or Jin Yu, if they go to Heaven Dou City, Senior Dugu is no match for them."
Hearing that, Chen Xin's face also filled with concern.
"Yeah, if Dugu Bo detoxifies the poison, Spirit Hall will come back to destroy both our families. This is a huge grudge."
Yu Xiaowei smacked his forehead hard and said worriedly:
"But Senior Dugu absolutely cannot detoxify this poison!"
"He poisoned himself. Don't tell me he can't detoxify his own poison?"
Chen Xin was a bit skeptical.
He hadn't interacted much with Dugu Bo, but he remembered clearly that Dugu Bo once said he liked to mix his mental power into his poisons. They were basically controllable poisons—'good' poisons, which would help the clan act freely.
So how could Dugu Bo be unable to cure this?
Yu Xiaowei sighed deeply and said bitterly:
"That's the thing. I didn't poison her at all."
"Qian Renxue drank a regular healing potion—just the kind you can buy for a single gold soul coin."
"So that old god Qian Daoliu won't know Qian Renxue was poisoned."
"So he'll definitely go to Heaven Dou City to find Senior Dugu. Grandpa Jian, I think I might've just screwed over Senior Dugu this time."
Chen Xin was dumbfounded. Was that even possible?
"Grandpa Jian, let's hurry. We need to get back to Tiandou City before Qian Daoliu. I'll handle that old god myself."
Yu Xiaowei carried him on his back and sped up.
A distance of over 100 miles took Yu Xiaowei just half an hour of sprinting to cover.
But when he arrived at the hiding place of Liu Erlong and the others, he was immediately shocked by what he saw.
There were battle traces everywhere—craters caused by Liu Erlong's dragon flames, wounds left by Flander's wind blades, scorch marks from Yu Tianheng's lightning, and more.
Blood stains splattered the stone walls, and tattered Blue Tyrant Academy uniforms were strewn across the ground.
Seeing the message carved into the stone wall, Yu Xiaowei's breathing grew rapid, and his overwhelming anger left his mind blank.
"Little beasts of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I'll be waiting for you here at A Yin."
A roar filled with killing intent frightened all the soul beasts in the forest.
"Tang Hao, I f***ed your mother!!!"
