Chapter 23: Big Trouble!
Li Luochen wielded the dragon-patterned staff and beat Dugu Yan mercilessly until she could only defend herself by covering her snake-like buttocks, which had turned from green to red.
Dugu Yan was in so much pain that tears were about to fall. She had never suffered such grievances in her life. The more she thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she became. So she released her martial spirit protection.
She knelt on the ground and cried loudly, a scene that completely baffled Li Luochen.
"You bastard, how dare you bully me like this! Waaaaaaahh ...
"Seriously? She cried like that? She's in big trouble now. She can't stand seeing others cry, especially in public. How embarrassing!"
He bullied a girl because of his cultivation level, making her cry. He was so angry that he almost dug his feet out of a three-bedroom apartment. Why did I feel a shiver run down my spine?
It feels like a death star is shining down on me. I have to get out of here, but if I do, I'll die.
Li Luochen thought he should take a step back, but that step caused him to bump into someone.
Li Luochen: Danger!!!
Li Luochen turned his head, trembling all over; that turn felt like an eternity. He saw...
He was tall and slender, resembling a javelin, with dark green hair and beard, and eyes that sparkled like emeralds. He gave off an ethereal quality, as if he were a phantom.
The man was expressionless, or rather, his facial expression was completely stiff. His cheeks were sunken, his green hair was messy, and he was dressed in a simple gray robe.
The green-haired old man then began to speak, and a fishy smell wafted out.
"Heh, kid, you think you can just run away after you've bullied me? Not so easy. You're the first person to dare bully my granddaughter."
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Li Luochen swallowed hard. "It's over. My life is over!"
Dugu Bo didn't waste any time with words, directly punching Li Luochen in the face, followed by an uppercut that sent Li Luochen flying into the air. He then quickly launched a barrage of punches, keeping Li Luochen suspended in mid-air. (For details, please refer to the scene in the anime where Zhao Wuji beats up the turtle teacher from Canghui Academy.)
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Li Luochen discovered that he couldn't use his soul power and couldn't do any soul power defense. He was then brutally beaten all over his body. Fortunately, Dugu Bo only used his soul power and not snake venom.
When Dugu Yan saw her grandfather arrive, she immediately felt confident and stopped crying.
"Serves you right for bullying me, you pretty boy, you got what you deserved! Grandpa will give him a good beating."
Dugu Yan's eyes were red, but she was extremely happy. The place where she had been hit didn't hurt so much anymore, and she was almost ready to clap her hands and cheer.
The fight lasted for about a few minutes, which might have been an era for Li Luochen.
"Hmph! Kid! You think you can die so easily? I'll make you wish you were dead."
Dugu Bo said fiercely, and although he left carrying the unconscious Li Luochen, Dugu Yan followed closely behind.

On the other side, Blue Tyrant Academy
"Dean, Dean, something terrible has happened!"
Flander and Liu Erlong, who were still exchanging feelings, were abruptly interrupted.
"Spit it out! The sky won't fall just because I'm here!"
Liu Erlong roared.
"Huff, huff, huff, um... Senior Luo Chen beat up Poison Douluo's granddaughter on the street, and was injured and taken away by Poison Douluo."
One of the students said urgently.
"What! Tell me right now what happened!" Flander shouted. He had only been following for a short while when Li Luochen got into trouble, and the other party was actually a Title Douluo.
The student recounted the events that occurred on the street in great detail.
"Erlongmei, I need to go rescue my student, so you shouldn't go."
Flander knew he might never return, but he couldn't worry about that for the sake of his students. However, he didn't want Liu Erlong to risk her life alone.
"What are you saying! Boss Fu! Do you think I, Liu Erlong, am such a spineless person! Your student is my student, and even if I die, I'll be with you."
Liu Erlong said angrily, that's just her personality, a forthright and righteous heroine (but she's also seriously love-struck).
Flander didn't say anything. He realized that Liu Erlong was actually willing to go to her death with him. He was relieved that he had finally made it to the end, but he couldn't care less about anything else now.
Flander released his martial spirit, hugged Liu Erlong, and took her with him to find Dugu Bo.

Li Luochen, lying in an unfamiliar cave, slowly opened his eyes.
"That familiar cave... I'm doomed. Didn't I check the almanac before going out today? I ran into that old scoundrel, and he even beat up his granddaughter. My life is over. I'm going to die before I even reach the peak."
"If you're not dead, get up quickly. I'm not in the mood to waste time with you."
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his green eyes looking particularly frightening in the dark cave. Dugu Yan, on the other side, was looking at him with a strange expression.
Let's go back a few minutes.
"What! Grandpa, this pretty boy's bone age is only 12 years old? He's two years younger than me. How can his soul power level be higher than mine? And how could his second soul ring be a thousand years old?"
Dugu Yan looked incredulous. This pretty boy was actually younger than her. A second soul ring that had been around for a thousand years was already astonishing enough, but he was still so young.
"Not only that, I just checked, and he now has level 37 soul power. His second soul ring is at least two thousand years old, and his third soul ring is at least six thousand years old. His martial soul is the stick that beat you up."
His martial soul is the Dragon Pattern Staff, a fairly good high-level martial soul, though it is somewhat inferior to our family's Azure Phosphorous Serpent. Yet he has achieved such success at such a young age.
I estimate his innate soul power is at least level eight.
Dugu Bo spoke calmly, having already roughly grasped Li Luochen's current strength. With a level 37 soul power exceeding the limit absorption soul ring configuration, his combat power was enough to defeat a Soul Master with the best soul ring configuration.
"What! He actually has at least level eight innate soul power, while my innate soul power is only level seven."
Dugu Yan looked surprised, then she thought of something.
"Hmm? This kid is waking up. Yan Yan, Grandpa will interrogate him a bit later."
Dugu Bo was eager to know what this monstrous young man meant by his words: "What kind of effect has the snake venom in your body had on it?"
Dugu Bo's words about snake venom and its effects on the body were particularly jarring. He had spent his entire life playing with poisons, and the poison had seeped into his very bones. Despite his current vigorous appearance, he knew he wouldn't live past twenty years.
He was very curious whether this kid had figured something out. Maybe he could help them, grandfather and grandson, detoxify. He was willing to try whatever method was available, which was why Dugu Bo hadn't taken Li Luochen's life.
Dugu Bo now wants to seize any possible opportunity, and he is willing to try even if it can help his granddaughter detoxify.
