Chapter 30: Dugu Bo Submits
After seeing that young genius was protected by two Title Douluo, Gu Rong had the idea of finding two powerful protectors for Gu Xuan as well.
It would be best to be a Title Douluo.
So what if the other party is highly talented?
Compared to his grandson, he's utterly trash.
If someone like that can be protected by two Title Douluos, then his grandson can't be that bad.
But originally, he only wanted to find two Soul Douluos to deal with the immediate crisis.
But he never expected that Dugu Bo would be so lucky as to deliver himself to his doorstep, and even deliberately violate the hidden rules of the Soul Master world.
Now, there's no need for any other reason to kill Dugu Bo.
Of course, even if it was used to threaten Dugu Bo, he couldn't say anything.
After all, he was the one who came up to him and saw his secret; it wasn't like he was the one who dragged him here.
Although Dugu Bo is known as the weakest Title Douluo, any Title Douluo is already stronger than 99.9% of the Soul Masters on the continent.
He couldn't stay by Gu Xuan's side forever, but Dugu Bo could.
Having a Title Douluo protect Gu Xuan closely means that if they encounter an insurmountable crisis, Gu Xuan can instantly elevate an ordinary Title Douluo to the level of a level 95 Super Douluo simply by taking out a talisman.
Moreover, he is a titled Douluo with domineering fire attributes.
That's enough to protect Gu Xuan's safety.
"I need you to swear an oath with your martial spirit, promising never to reveal anything about my Xuan'er, and to pledge your utmost loyalty to my Xuan'er from this day forward."
Gu Rong narrowed his eyes as he looked at Dugu Bo, his smile clearly malicious.
Dugu Bo's face turned green.
What a joke! Making him pledge allegiance to a six-year-old child?
Even if he's talented, so what? Talent...
Dugu Bo glared, about to retort.
After all, in the eyes of most titled Douluo, serving a six-year-old child is indeed shameful.
But what if that child were Gu Xuan instead...
Dugu Bo's face showed a thoughtful expression.
There is absolutely no problem with Gu Xuan's age of six, and everyone knows that his martial soul has only been awakened for a few months.
I originally thought that having full innate soul power was already monstrous enough, but now it seems that it is far more than that.
Even the soul ring configuration is the second ring of the millennium.
If this talent were released to the outside world, it would absolutely drive all Soul Masters crazy.
But if it were one of our own people...
This is quite a pleasant surprise.
If Gu Xuan were his enemy, he would probably dream of finding a way to kill him.
But if he is also on Gu Xuan's side, even if he doesn't live long, as long as Gu Xuan grows up, protecting his granddaughter will definitely not be a problem.
Gu Xuan's talent has already been revealed. Even though his talent was far inferior back then, he still managed to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo. This was only because he was affected by his own poison.
If it weren't for the toxins, he would be at least level 93 by now.
Gu Xuan's talent is at least two levels higher than his, so what level will Gu Xuan reach when he reaches his age?
Super Douluo? Or Limit Douluo?
Since his life was already set in stone, he might as well plan a future for his granddaughter before he died.
"So, old poisoner, have you made up your mind?"
Gu Rong looked at Dugu Bo and smiled slightly, knowing that he had already made his choice.
"I guess I'm just unlucky. I guess I'll just have to die."
Dugu Bo said somewhat dejectedly, and then swore an oath to Gu Xuan with his martial spirit, vowing to serve Gu Xuan forever.
"Tch, don't look so unwilling. With my grandson's talent, you're lucky if you're asked to serve him. I wouldn't even give other people a chance if they wanted him."
Gu Rong looked at Dugu Bo's constipated expression and said disdainfully.
It had to be Dugu Bo; he really wouldn't believe it if it were anyone else.
After all, Dugu Bo's reputation speaks for itself.
He was saved by Xuexing, and in order to repay the favor, he insisted on associating with Xuexing, a good-for-nothing.
And they've already helped Xuexing solve problems countless times.
Even so, Dugu Bo did not choose to leave, which shows his character.
With such a person protecting Gu Xuan, he felt at ease.
Meanwhile, as the power of the soul ring surged into Gu Xuan's body, the volatile soul force tried to collide with Gu Xuan's meridians.
In an instant, the dragon eye on the Holy Lord's Stele, which had been dormant within Gu Xuan's body, lit up with a red light.
The terrifying flames directly enveloped the soul power that had surged into Gu Xuan's body, frantically burning away the soul beast characteristics within.
Three minutes later, as the last trace of soul power was burned away by the flames, the purple soul ring on Gu Xuan's body flickered slightly and then disappeared into Gu Xuan's body. Then, in the groove on the Holy Lord's stone carving, an octagonal stone gradually took shape, with the patterns of a horse engraved on it.
The moment the horse talisman took shape, Gu Xuan opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.
"No, no, it hasn't been that long!"
Dugu Bo was dumbfounded by what he saw.
What a joke! Even a normal day is just the standard time to absorb a spirit ring. If you encounter one with a higher age limit, two days is perfectly normal.
But how long has Gu Xuan been absorbing it?
A few minutes?
"Hmph, ignorant!"
Gu Rong sneered at Dugu Bo as if Dugu Bo were a country bumpkin.
"you!"
Dugu Bo glared, wanting to lash out, but unfortunately his strength wouldn't allow it.
"Um?
Grandpa, who is he?
Gu Xuan looked at the suddenly appearing Dugu Bo and although he had some guesses, he still felt it was a bit strange.
Is it really necessary to be so realistic? How come the Sunset Forest event even brought out Dugu Bo?
Could it be true that the Sunset Forest is bound to spawn the wild map boss, Dugu Bo?
"Come here, let me introduce you. This is Dugu Bo, you can call him Old Poison, titled Poison, his martial soul is the Azure Scale Serpent Emperor, a level 91 control-type titled Douluo. From now on, he will be your personal bodyguard."
"When Grandpa isn't around, I feel more at ease knowing he's protecting you."
Gu Rong patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder and introduced him to Gu Xuan.
"Servants!?"
Gu Xuan was slightly surprised, but after seeing that Dugu Bo did not refute him, he instantly understood something.
Gu Rong had only absorbed a fraction of the spirit rings when he suppressed Dugu Bo and made him serve him wholeheartedly.
It's important to understand that even titled Douluos have their dignity; it's simply impossible for an ordinary person to hire a titled Douluo as a bodyguard.
"He was just too blind to see something he shouldn't have."
Dugu Bo smiled bitterly. He really didn't want to, but now he had no choice but to give in, and Gu Xuan's talent made it not so difficult for him to accept.
"Greetings, young master. I apologize for any inconvenience caused and hope you will be lenient with me in the future."
Dugu Bo approached Gu Xuan and bowed slightly in greeting.
"No need for formalities. I won't beat around the bush here. You can come with me. Just don't disturb my cultivation. You can arrange everything else as you like."
Gu Xuan did not push Dugu Bo forward. Since he had already come to pay his respects, there was no reason to refuse.
Moreover, he was confident that Dugu Bo would be unable to leave him.
