As soon as these words were spoken, Dugu Yan felt it was utterly absurd.
After all, her Martial Soul was the Jade Scale Serpent.
When it came to using poison, few Martial Souls in the Soul Master World could compare to the Jade Scale Serpent, let alone poison her.
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but cover her face with her hand, giggling uncontrollably. "Little brother, your joke is quite amusing~"
However, Gu Feng responded with a serious expression, "Sister, I'm not joking. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your grandfather. He's already been poisoned to the marrow. If he doesn't receive treatment soon, he might not live for another twenty years."
Dugu Yan's eyebrows shot up, and she said coldly, "Enough! Little brother, I've been treating you kindly, but now you're insulting my grandfather. Considering you're the grandson of Bone Douluo, Your Excellency, I won't hold it against you. Just leave!"
Gu Feng had the audacity to claim that her grandfather was poisoned.
The Poison Douluo, who dominated the world with poison, could be poisoned?
This wasn't just an insult—it was beyond insulting!
Gu Feng furrowed his brows. It seemed he needed to use a stronger approach.
Otherwise, Dugu Yan would never believe him.
At this tense moment, a calm male voice drifted over, "Yanzi, do you need help?"
The two turned to look and saw a black-haired young man standing at the entrance of the training ground. He was dressed in a blue martial outfit, exuding an air of nobility, with two lifelike Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons embroidered on his sleeves.
Seeing that it was Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan's face filled with disdain, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Yu Tianheng, my affairs are none of your concern."
She was quite helpless with this Yu Tianheng, who clung to her like a piece of sticky plaster.
She had clearly expressed her disinterest in him, yet he insisted on sticking to her every day.
Yu Tianheng clenched his teeth, a flash of anger appearing in his eyes, but it quickly vanished, hidden well.
If it weren't for the family's demands, do you think I'd be here trying to please you?
Don't overestimate yourself!
After calming his emotions, Yu Tianheng once again wore a gentle smile and spoke, "After all, we're classmates. Isn't it normal for classmates to help each other out?"
"Moreover, Teacher Qin Ming said that we're likely to be members of the next Royal Fight Team. The more we communicate, the better our understanding will be, right?"
This same old rhetoric—Dugu Yan felt like her ears were about to grow calluses.
To be honest, she didn't despise Yu Tianheng to the core. After all, they hadn't interacted much. It was just his constant pestering that truly annoyed her.
Gu Feng, who had been observing everything from the side, began to scheme in his heart.
From the looks of it, Dugu Yan didn't seem to have developed any fondness for Yu Tianheng yet. In fact, she seemed somewhat resistant to him.
If he could help Dugu Yan get rid of Yu Tianheng, would he be able to win her trust?
Action speaks louder than thought.
No time to waste!
Gu Feng took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said, "Sister, how about I make a bet with you?"
"Oh? Let's hear it."
Dugu Yan had initially planned to ignore Gu Feng, but with Yu Tianheng standing there, this little guy in front of her seemed less annoying by comparison.
"I'll help you get rid of him, and you take me to meet your grandfather. Do you dare to take the bet?"
Gu Feng's gaze was firm as he looked directly into Dugu Yan's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter at Gu Feng's naivety.
"Hehehe..."
This little guy looks like he's just awakened his Martial Soul, doesn't he?
Even though Gu Feng is the grandson of Bone Douluo and likely has exceptional talent, his Soul Power is probably only around level eight or nine, right?
Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng, though a few years younger than her, has already reached level 14 in Soul Power.
The disparity in their strength is obvious, and Gu Feng's challenge seems utterly overconfident.
Yet, for some reason, a faint sense of curiosity stirred within Dugu Yan. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she nodded and chuckled softly, "Alright, I'll see what you're capable of."
She was genuinely curious about where Gu Feng's confidence came from to make such a bold statement.
Or was it simply that Gu Feng, like a newborn calf, was unafraid of the tiger?
Seeing Dugu Yan nod in agreement, Gu Feng felt a surge of secret delight, and a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and strode directly toward Yu Tianheng.
Gu Feng stopped in front of Yu Tianheng, tilted his head slightly upward, and fearlessly met the other's gaze. He declared loudly, "Hey, you're Yu Tianheng, right? Let me tell you straight—that so-called master from your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, Yu Xiaogang, is nothing but trash in my eyes!"
"What did you say? Kid, you've got some nerve saying that again!"
This statement was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly striking Yu Tianheng's sensitive spot. His expression darkened, but mindful of Dugu Yan's presence, he only issued a warning.
Gu Feng, however, acted as if he hadn't heard it. Not only did he not retreat, but he also took a step forward and repeated, "I'll say it again—that master from your family, Yu Xiaogang, is worthless trash."
This time, his voice was even louder, each word like a heavy hammer slamming into Yu Tianheng's heart.
Yu Tianheng was thoroughly enraged. His eyes glinted with fury as he gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, if I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be called Yu Tianheng!"
With a roar, his Soul Power erupted, and a faint blue aura surrounded him, making him resemble a ferocious beast ready to pounce.
"Wait!"
Gu Feng raised his hand and calmly pointed toward the training ground, speaking unhurriedly, "We're civilized people. It's not proper to fight here. If we're going to fight, let's do it openly in the training ground."
"Hmph, as if I'm afraid of you?" Yu Tianheng snorted coldly and quickly walked into the nearby training ground.
"Phew—" Seeing Yu Tianheng enter the training ground, Gu Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
To be honest, Gu Feng hadn't been entirely confident earlier. He was worried that his provocation wouldn't work and that Yu Tianheng wouldn't take the bait.
That's why he deliberately targeted Yu Tianheng's most sensitive spot—Yu Xiaogang.
His verbal attack had hit the mark.
At this moment, Dugu Yan, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but ask with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "At a time like this, you're still smiling? Yu Tianheng's Soul Power is higher than yours, and he's stronger than you. Aren't you afraid of him at all?"
Gu Feng turned around and smiled faintly, "Because there's nothing to be afraid of."
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, feeling a pang of regret. Would that foolish boy end up getting beaten to a pulp by Yu Tianheng?
If he did, wouldn't this escalate from a mere squabble among juniors to a full-blown conflict between their sects?
