Chapter 529 Tang Hao is seriously injured and unconscious.
Sword Douluo suppressed the anger stirred up by Bone Douluo and recounted in detail everything that had happened during his trip to Sunset Forest.
"So, this time, when Uncle Jian and Tang Hao were on their mission, they not only encountered Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, but also the level 98 Super Douluo Golden Crocodile Douluo who led an army of Soul Masters to conquer the Clear Sky Sect more than ten years ago. Moreover, Dugu Bo's herb garden has now been occupied by the Spirit Hall?"
After listening to Sword Douluo's account, Ning Fengzhi asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
Sword Douluo nodded slightly and continued:
"With Tang Hao and I protecting us in secret, plus Tang San's extraordinary sensitivity to poisons, finding Dugu Bo's herb garden went very smoothly. It was located on a uniquely shaped mountain peak deep in the Sunset Forest, which Dugu Bo had sealed off with poisonous mist."
"But what exactly is inside remains unknown. Just as we approached the mountain peak, Dugu Bo came out to stop us."
At this point, Sword Douluo's eyes already showed a hint of doubt and confusion:
"What's even more incredible is that Dugu Bo's strength is not just that of an ordinary level 91 or 92 Title Douluo, as the intelligence reports suggest."
"His true strength has actually reached the level of a peak level 95 Super Douluo, which is no weaker than either of me or Tang Hao. Even if Tang Hao and I join forces, we will be helpless against him in a short period of time."
Hearing Sword Douluo's words, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both showed extreme surprise. Dugu Bo's strength seemed to far exceed their expectations.
Ning Rongrong, standing beside her, was completely stunned.
It was only then that she learned that her father, along with Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, and Tang San's father, Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, were secretly conspiring to seize Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's herb garden.
Unfortunately, it ended in failure, and even Grandpa Jian almost got caught in the trap.
"I never expected that old poison master Dugu Bo was so well hidden. He actually cultivated to the level of ninety-five without making a sound. It's really quite unexpected."
Bone Douluo couldn't help but sigh.
"This may be related to his medicinal herb garden."
A glint of wisdom flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he came to a surprising conclusion.
Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned slightly serious, and he said in a leisurely tone:
"According to Uncle Jian's description, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth there is extremely rich. Combined with Tang San's statement about the conditions for the birth of rare and precious materials, it can be almost concluded that the place where Dugu Bo's medicine garden is located is very likely an excellent treasure land that can give birth to rare and precious materials."
"Dugu Bo's achievements may be due to his consumption of the rare and precious ingredients found within."
Sword Douluo thought about it carefully and felt that Ning Fengzhi's words made sense, so he nodded in agreement:
"What Fengzhi said makes sense."
"Before I fought Dugu Bo, I asked him for the 'Qiluo Tulip,' a rare medicinal herb needed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Although Dugu Bo did not explicitly state whether he possessed the Qiluo Tulip, a divine herb, his resolute refusal suggests that he likely had such a herb in his herb garden."
"Unfortunately, his herb garden is on a mountain peak, and the Golden Crocodile Douluo is stationed there. I can't even get close to it, let alone go up to take a look."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly:
"Since that place has already been occupied by the Spirit Hall, even if there are any celestial herbs, they have long since fallen into the hands of the Spirit Hall, and we probably won't be able to obtain them."
"Golden Crocodile Douluo's strength is simply too great. It is beyond the power of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School alone to contend with. Even if the three of us attack together, we still cannot be his match."
Ning Fengzhi felt a headache coming on just thinking about the strength of Golden Crocodile Douluo.
The thought of a level 98 peak Super Douluo pressing down on you is incredibly stressful.
Sword Douluo wholeheartedly agreed with this.
He had experienced firsthand the strength of Golden Crocodile Douluo; the gap in strength was so vast that it was almost despair-inducing. If Golden Crocodile Douluo hadn't deliberately held back, he wouldn't have survived.
Composing himself, Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked:
"So, will our cooperation with Tang Hao continue?"
Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly:
"Sigh, let's just drop this matter. With Golden Crocodile Douluo there, we have no chance of success."
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
After a short while, Ning Fengzhi broke the silence and asked:
"By the way, Uncle Jian, you and Rongrong returned safely, but what about Tang Hao and the teachers and students of Shrek Academy?"
Sword Douluo replied:
"After I blocked Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack with my strongest strike, I took Rongrong and left that place immediately, because I had to prioritize Rongrong's safety."
"However, before taking Rongrong away, I suggested that the people from Shrek Academy leave Sunset Forest as soon as possible. If they did so, I think Dugu Bo and Golden Crocodile Douluo would not make things difficult for them."
"As for Tang Hao, I'm not sure."
"I always felt that Golden Crocodile Douluo was extremely hostile towards Tang Hao. His eyes were full of murderous intent when he looked at him, as if he had a grudge against him."
"If my feeling is correct, then I can only say that Tang Hao's life is in danger. He can only survive from Golden Crocodile Douluo if a miracle happens."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
It would be such a pity if the mighty Haotian Douluo were to die at the hands of the Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Silence fell over the room once again.
After a long while, Bone Douluo suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Don't you guys think there's something wrong with Dugu Bo? Isn't he a guest elder of the Heaven Dou royal family? How come he's getting involved with the Spirit Hall? I remember he seems to have a grudge against the Spirit Hall, right?"
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a few seconds, then said in a calm tone:
"Although Dugu Bo is nominally a guest of the Heaven Dou royal family, he is not affiliated with the Heaven Dou royal family. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two is only one of cooperation."
"The Heavenly Dou royal family has no say in Dugu Bo's private affairs, nor can they control who he associates with."
"However, it is true that Dugu Bo has a grudge against the Spirit Hall, but why he gets involved with the people of the Spirit Hall is somewhat puzzling."
At this point, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly:
"Perhaps they knew they were no match for the enemy and surrendered."
"After all, even Dugu Bo was helpless against a powerhouse like Golden Crocodile Douluo and could only admit defeat, which is understandable."
"However, he is ultimately a guest advisor of the Tiandou royal family. This matter concerns the safety of the empire, so this matter must not be spread. I will inform Crown Prince Xue Qinghe as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo immediately responded in unison:
"clear."
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ning Rongrong, who was staring at him in shock and confusion. A gentle look unconsciously appeared in his eyes, but after a moment's thought, he straightened his face and his tone became serious:
"Rongrong, don't go back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for the next few days. Stay in the sect and rest well."
"Also, don't tell anyone about what you saw and heard in Sunset Forest, or what I just discussed with Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone, understand?"
Ning Rongrong snapped out of her daze and subconsciously replied:
"Oh, oh, okay, Father."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction, then waved gently at her:
"Okay, you should go back to your room and rest now."
Ning Rongrong gave a blank "Oh," then walked out of the main hall and returned to her room.
After Ning Rongrong left, Bone Douluo sidled up to Sword Douluo and nudged the latter's waist with his elbow:
"Hey, Swordsman, how was it fighting against a level 98 peak expert? Wasn't it awesome?"
Sword Douluo glanced at him indifferently:
"It was really fun, but it almost killed me."
Bone Douluo immediately mocked in a sly manner:
"Wow, you're too weak. You couldn't even last one move? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be as weak as you."
If it were you, your rotten bones would probably have fallen apart long ago. After all, you're not like me, with a powerful father who can benefit future generations even after his death. Sword Douluo ignored Bone Douluo's taunts and said calmly:
"Thanks to that battle, I have reached the level of 96 and found the opportunity to break through. It won't be long before I can truly step into level 96."
Surprise, not unexpected?
"I#"
At this moment, Bone Douluo really wanted to curse.
…………
a few days later.
The Shrek Academy group, weary from their journey, finally made it back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Upon hearing that Shrek Academy had an accident in Sunset Forest, the three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Teaching Committee rushed over to offer their condolences and brought with them the Soul Emperor-level healing teacher with the strongest healing abilities in the academy.
After treatment by the medical staff, Yu Xiaogang's injuries were quickly healed. However, due to his weak constitution, he had to lie in bed for three days and three nights before he finally recovered.
However, Tang Hao's injuries are not optimistic.
Trauma to bones, muscles, and skin is easy to heal, but the serious internal injuries in Tang Hao's body, which have aggravated old wounds and caused new ones, are not so easy to treat.
Not to mention the Soul Emperor-level healing teachers brought by the Three Education Committee, even a Title Douluo in the healing field couldn't heal the hidden injuries in Tang Hao's body.
Therefore, despite the dedicated treatment from healing-type Soul Masters, Tang Hao remained unconscious.
Tang San could only stay by Tang Hao's side day and night, injecting his pure Xuan Tian Gong internal energy into the latter's body, hoping that his old father would wake up as soon as possible.
As for the useless Master Yu Xiaogang, whom Tang San declared to be "a teacher for a day, a father for life," he had completely forgotten about him and didn't even give him a second glance.
Sitting cross-legged behind Tang Hao, Tang San took a deep breath and unhesitatingly activated the Xuan Tian Gong, a unique internal energy cultivation technique he had stolen from the inner sect of the Tang Clan.
The internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong circulated throughout his body, and then, through his jade-like hands, it was expelled from his palms, transforming into a gentle white stream of energy that flowed into Tang Hao's body to soothe his severely damaged and depressed meridians.
Tang San had already noticed something was wrong back in Sunset Forest.
Tang Hao's meridians were not only abnormally disordered, but also had many knots, and his internal organs had been displaced.
Not only that.
There was also an extremely domineering force rampaging through Tang Hao's body, destroying his meridians and organs to pieces. The danger level of his body could even be described as collapsing at any moment.
If things go wrong, he could die suddenly.
It's a miracle that Tang Hao is still alive; if it were an ordinary person, they would probably be dead by now.
Tang San couldn't tell whether the power was Tang Hao's own soul power or an external force, but the domineering aura it contained was something his Xuan Tian Gong internal force dared not touch.
Therefore, when he injected the Xuan Tian Gong internal energy into Tang Hao, he could only carefully avoid that domineering power and try his best to nourish the meridians in Tang Hao's body and slowly repair his injuries.
However, Tang Hao's injuries were far more serious than Tang San had imagined.
This includes not only deep-seated wounds that have persisted for over a decade, but also new injuries caused by the backlash from the exploding rings and the erosion from the Asura God's power.
As the Xuan Tian Gong internal energy continued to flow in, Tang San's heart grew heavier and heavier. He had no idea whether Tang Hao would wake up.
With Tang San's current strength, he is not able to fully repair Tang Hao's injuries. He can only take it one step at a time and heal as many as he can.
…………
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Tall and gaunt, Bone Douluo, dressed in a gray robe, flashed into the Seven Treasures Hall.
"Feng Zhi, our informant at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has sent word that the Shrek Academy group has returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Before Bone Douluo even arrived, his voice had already reached Ning Fengzhi's ears.
"Oh? They're back?"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi sat in the head seat of the hall, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, slowly savoring it.
Seeing that Bone Douluo had appeared before him in a bizarre way, as if he had traveled through space, he placed the teacup on the coffee table next to him.
"More importantly, Tang Hao is back too."
Bone Douluo flashed in front of Ning Fengzhi and continued speaking without stopping.
"What? Tang Hao isn't dead?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi abruptly stood up straight.
Because he jumped up too quickly, he knocked over the fragrant tea that was placed on the coffee table, instantly wetting the entire tabletop.
But he ignored it all, staring intently at Bone Douluo, asking as if seeking confirmation:
"Uncle Bone, are you sure?"
Bone Douluo nodded affirmatively:
"Sure."
"Tang Hao is indeed still alive, but his condition is not optimistic. He seems to be seriously injured and has been in a coma."
Even the best healing-type Soul Master from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy couldn't revive him.
After listening, Ning Fengzhi stroked his smooth, beardless chin and muttered to himself:
"If that's the case, then we'll have to pay them a visit."
Although Ning Fengzhi's voice was soft, Bone Douluo heard it clearly. After a slight pause, he couldn't help but ask:
"Feng Zhi, Tang Hao has offended a top expert from the Spirit Hall. We were just warned once, is it inappropriate to contact Tang Hao again now?"
"What if Golden Crocodile Douluo finds out and comes looking for us?"
"Although Sword Old Ghost and I are not afraid of him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will suffer a great loss."
