...
Under the dual nourishment of the 100,000-year spirit ring and 100,000-year Spirit Bone, Luo Nan's Soul Power Rank soared like a rocket, shooting straight to level eighty-four in one go!
Now, if he were to face that 100,000-year Earth Armor Dragon again, he wouldn't need Tang Xiao's help at all; by himself alone, he could smash it to pieces!
"Congratulations." Tang Xiao walked up, looking at Luo Nan, whose aura was unfathomable, a hint of complex emotion in his tone.
"A level eighty-four Spirit Douluo, possessing a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year Spirit Bone."
"Right now, even if you face a Titled Douluo, I'm afraid you can put up a fight."
"I still must thank Sect Master Tang for stepping in to help."
Luo Nan reined in his aura and smiled slightly.
Without Tang Xiao, it would have been very difficult for Luo Nan to get a 100,000-year spirit ring.
Tang Xiao waved his hand, his expression turning serious: "I helped you because of Yuehua."
"Luo Nan, I don't care what kind of person you were before, nor do I care how big your ambition is."
"Since you have now married Yuehua, you must take good care of her for me!"
"If I find out that Yuehua suffers any grievance or meets with any accident—"
"Even if you possess a 100,000-year spirit ring, I, Tang Xiao, will definitely make you pay! The wrath of the Clear Sky Sect is not something you can bear!"
Facing Tang Xiao's warning, Luo Nan did not get angry.
He knew this was the deepest care of an older brother toward his younger sister from Tang Xiao.
But inside, Luo Nan was practically rolling his eyes up to the heavens.
Marrying Tang Yuehua, wasn't this part of the transaction content? Speaking as if they fell in love first and then got married.
However, Luo Nan still had a clear head; since he promised Tang Xiao, he had to take good care of Tang Yuehua.
"Rest assured, Sect Master Tang."
"As long as I, Luo Nan, am alive for one more day, no one in Heaven Dou City will be able to touch a single hair of Tang Yuehua."
"Remember your words." Tang Xiao glanced at Luo Nan, then sighed.
His gaze looked toward the direction of Heaven Dou City, a trace of desolation and helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"There are still many things waiting for me to go back and handle on the Sect's side. Being able to spare time to help you hunt a Spirit Beast this time is already the limit."
"I... won't go see Yuehua. You pass along a message for me, telling her to take good care of herself."
Tang Hao's whereabouts were unknown, and he really wanted to see his younger sister too.
But alas, circumstances did not allow it...
Finishing his words, Tang Xiao didn't stay any longer. His figure flashed, turning into a streak of black light, and instantly vanished into the boundless night.
Watching the direction of Tang Xiao's departure, Luo Nan shook his head slightly.
The Clear Sky Sect had sealed its mountain gates, and as the Sect Master, the pressure Tang Xiao bore could be imagined.
He didn't even have time to go see his own biological sister, showing just how difficult the Clear Sky Sect's current situation was.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Luo Nan. His primary task right now was to consolidate his newly surged strength.
Then go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to obtain the Immortal Plant.
...
A few days later, Heaven Dou City, Moon Pavilion.
When Luo Nan pushed open the door of the top-floor office, Tang Yuehua was sitting in front of the desk, processing documents with her brows tightly knitted.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tang Yuehua abruptly raised her head.
When she saw that only Luo Nan walked in alone, a trace of obvious disappointment and anxiety flashed in her eyes.
"Luo Nan? You're back? Where is my eldest brother? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Tang Yuehua hurriedly stood up, walked quickly in front of Luo Nan, and asked eagerly.
Luo Nan looked at Tang Yuehua's anxious appearance, sighing slightly in his heart.
He extended a single hand, extremely naturally wrapping it around Tang Yuehua's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Tang Yuehua's body stiffened, instinctively wanting to struggle.
But for some reason, her struggling motion stopped involuntarily.
"He returned to the Clear Sky Sect."
Luo Nan lowered his head to look at Tang Yuehua, saying in a calm tone.
"Sect affairs are numerous; it was already not easy for him to spare time to help me hunt a Spirit Beast. He asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself."
Hearing these words, Tang Yuehua's body trembled violently.
A layer of mist instantly clouded her beautiful eyes, and her face, which was already slightly pale from exhaustion, became completely devoid of color at this moment.
"He went back... and isn't even willing to see me once..."
Tang Yuehua murmured to herself, her voice filled with unconcealable desolation and sorrow.
Ever since the Clear Sky Sect sealed its mountain gates, she had been left alone in this Heaven Dou City, bitterly supporting the Moon Pavilion.
Not a moment went by that she didn't miss the Sect, missing her own family.
Having finally learned that her eldest brother came to Heaven Dou City, he left in a rush without even meeting once.
This sense of loss was like a blunt knife, fiercely cutting at her heart.
Luo Nan didn't speak, only silently tightening his arm around her waist, pulling her tighter into his embrace.
He could understand Tang Yuehua's feelings at this moment.
In this World where the strong preyed on the weak, without the protection of strength, familial affection was sometimes also an extravagant hope.
"Don't be sad."
Luo Nan gently patted Tang Yuehua's back, his voice low and magnetic.
"Your eldest brother has his responsibilities, and you have your life. Besides, don't forget the bet between us."
"When I help you break the shackles of your Spirit and make you a true Spirit Master, by that time, perhaps we can make a trip back."
Hearing the two words 'bet', Tang Yuehua snapped out of her sorrow.
She abruptly pushed Luo Nan away, two flushes of red flying across her cheeks, and glared fiercely at him.
"Stop using that lewd bet to provoke me!"
"I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible for me to lose!"
Tang Yuehua bit her red lips and said stubbornly.
"Is that so? Then let us wait and see."
In the following days, Luo Nan stayed in the Moon Pavilion, remaining behind closed doors.
He was fully consolidating his cultivation that had just broken through to Rank eighty-four, as well as adapting to the terrifying power brought by that 100,000-year right arm bone.
Until half a month later, feeling that his state had adjusted to its Peak, Luo Nan quietly left Heaven Dou City and galloped away in the direction of the Sunset Forest.
...
Sunset Forest, although far inferior in area to the Star Dou Great Forest, also harbored a large number of high-tier Spirit Beasts within it.
And the destination of Luo Nan's trip was precisely the peerless treasure land in the center of the Sunset Forest occupied by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Relying on memories from his past life and his formidable strength, after shuttling through the Sunset Forest for a few days, Luo Nan finally found that mountain Peak shrouded in thick poisonous miasma.
Around the mountain Peak, a layer of ghastly green poisonous fog permeated the air.
This poisonous fog was extremely overbearing; even the surrounding trees were corroded until they withered and decayed, emitting a nauseating, foul stench.
"Is this the Jade Phosphor Poison Formation set up by Dugu Bo? It really has some trick to it."
Luo Nan stood outside the poison formation, narrowing his eyes slightly.
