At the sa ti, in the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Academy.
Inside a luxurious standalone villa—its opulent decor indicating that only select students could reside here—Ye Leng Leng, veiled as always, sat on the sofa in the living room with Dugu Yan beside her.
"Yan Yan, you weren’t there that day, but the battle was massive. Two Soul Douluos and one Soul Saint ganged up on Yang Wushuang. Several shops along the street were completely destroyed. Prince Xue Xing even mobilized Heavy Armored Infantry to seal off the entire area..." Ye Leng Leng’s voice was light and animated as she recounted the events of that day.
Dugu Yan remained expressionless. "Alright, Leng Leng, I’m not interested in this right now."
More than a month had passed since Yu Tianheng’s public confession on the Soul Duel Stage, and Dugu Yan had stayed away from the academy the entire ti. She was too humiliated. Only after the incident with Yang Wushuang shifted the school’s gossip away from her did she reluctantly return.
"Yan Yan, what I’m trying to say is... you shouldn’t keep fighting with Dugu Feng. He’s too powerful. That day, he was one of the main participants," Ye Leng Ling carefully chose her words, attempting to diate.
"Leng Leng, I know your grandfather and his father are close, but you don’t understand the full story behind our family’s affairs," Dugu Yan shook her head, unwilling to listen.
"Yan Yan, you can’t win against him. He’s only eleven and already a Soul Expert..."
Dugu Yan’s expression darkened. "Stop it, Leng Leng. I won’t lose to him. From now on, I’ll dedicate myself entirely to cultivation. I refuse to believe he can surpass !"
Dugu Feng’s strength was a thorn in her heart. The Poison Cultivation Lineage’s three Soul Skills were all offensive, making his combat power likely superior to even an average Soul Ancestor. anwhile, her third Soul Skill, Azure Phosphorus Violet Venom, was only just unlocked.
But she still clung to hope. The Serpent Cultivation path was control-oriented. Control-type Soul Masters had an advantage over pure assault types—as she gained more Spirit Rings, her strength would grow exponentially. Moreover, control types could counter Battle Soul Masters with exploitable weaknesses. Dugu Yan was determined to beco a powerhouse in her own right.
Besides, Dugu Feng might just drop dead from poison one day. The thought brought her so grim satisfaction.
Ye Leng Leng sighed inwardly. It seed this setback hadn’t taught Dugu Yan any lessons. She would have to slowly nd the rift between them over ti. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder—why was the relationship between these cousins so hostile?
Elentary Soul Master Academy.
After settling his family affairs, Dugu Feng returned to the academy.
The mont he arrived, Feng Ling and Feng Li delivered unexpected news:
Ning Rongrong had graduated!
She had already completed the graduation procedures and left to enroll in another advanced Soul Master academy.
Dugu Feng was montarily stunned.
So that’s why she had asked him if he would still rember her—she had been planning to leave.
She had graduated far ahead of schedule, long before the normal tifra.
She must have gone to Shrek Academy even earlier than in the original storyline.
Was Ning Fengzhi afraid she would grow too attached to him?
Dugu Feng smirked.
So the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was well aware of the Dugu Family’s Martial Soul flaw.
Interesting.
He didn’t dwell on it too much, but it was ti to start making preparations.
The 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
No matter what, he had to seize this opportunity!
During Tang San’s enrollnt period, Tang Hao would definitely visit Shrek Academy—what better opportunity to obtain a Soul Bone!
Dugu Feng pondered this as he diligently trained within the academy.
One day, while cultivating in the Simulated Training Field, Dugu Feng suddenly sensed soone approaching.
"Ye Lingling?"
"I ca to see if you needed healing!" Ye Lingling approached Dugu Feng’s training spot, her voice still crisp and ethereal.
Healing? What for?
It took Dugu Feng a mont to recall that due to his poisonous Martial Soul, his toxic Soul Power could damage his ridians. Periodic dicinal nourishnt or treatnt from a Supportive Soul Master could strengthen them.
However, Dugu Feng possessed a Core Pearl. The warm currents it produced not only enhanced his physical resilience but also continuously repaired any ridian damage. Thus, he didn’t actually need healing.
This was sothing that left both Dugu Shuo and Old Snake marveling, attributing it solely to Dugu Feng’s extraordinary talent—his early exposure to poison had allowed his body to adapt to toxic Soul Power.
"Senior, please."
Dugu Feng didn’t refuse.
Having fought relentlessly in Slaughter City, he often sustained injuries. While the Core Pearl’s nourishnt prevented internal damage, so external scars remained. Moreover, the Core Pearl’s energy was rather one-dinsional—perhaps the healing power of the Nine Heart Begonia might have unique effects.
Seeing Dugu Feng agree, Ye Leng Leng extended her right hand, summoning a vibrant pink begonia flower. Composed of white and pink petals, the blossom was both dazzling and graceful.
A purple Spirit Ring flashed as Ye Lingling activated her third Spirit Ring.
Instantly, petal-like white light drifted down, settling gently onto Dugu Feng’s body.
As a Soul Expert, Ye Lingling naturally couldn’t perceive his internal condition—but Dugu Feng could.
The white light dissolved upon contact, suffusing every corner of his body. The most noticeable effect was on his external wounds—scars faded, restoring his skin to its original state. anwhile, his internal organs absorbed the light as well, filling him with a soothing warmth.
This healing energy was entirely different from Ning Rongrong’s amplifying light. The latter targeted muscles and Soul Power, whereas this energy perated every part of his body, like drinking hot water on a freezing day—warming him from within.
His body seed like a bottomless pit, devouring Ye Lingling’s healing light entirely.
Monts later, Ye Leng Leng, nearly drained of Soul Power, finally stopped.
"Dugu Feng, Yan Yan is your cousin, but she’s far less mature than you. The lesson you taught her last ti was harsh enough to turn Yu Tianheng against her. If she provokes you again in the future... could you let it go?"
Ye Lingling suddenly spoke.
"Senior, so that’s why soone as aloof as you suddenly offered healing—it was for my cousin’s sake. Did you try persuading her to leave alone, only to find her utterly unyielding?"
"How did you know?" Ye Leng Leng blurted out.
"Easy guess. Stay out of our affairs—you can’t diate them anyway."
Dugu Feng replied coldly.
Ye Lingling deflated. Neither of these siblings would back down.
Well, Dugu Feng was right—she couldn’t interfere.
"I’ll co to heal you every half-month from now on."
With that, Ye Leng Leng left without another word.
"That’s more like it, that’s the Ye Lingling I rember! So cold, I like it!"
Dugu Feng murmured to himself.
Ye Lingling, who was about to leave, paused for a mont but didn’t stop.
If one could see through her veil, they would notice her slightly flushed cheeks, tinged with both embarrassnt and annoyance.
"This Dugu Feng is far too bold!"
What she didn’t know was that Dugu Feng had long regarded the Ye family as his own.
And Ye Lingling—she was even more than that, soone especially close among his own.
That was why Dugu Feng acted more boldly around her than with others.
