Outside the door.
"Yue Guan, why are there so many brats?"
Gui Mei asked Yue Guan, who was walking at the very end, with a puzzled expression.
"The Holy Maiden has spoken."
"If they want to go, can we stop them?"
Hearing this, Gui Mei said nothing more and followed directly.
At the center of the lava zone.
Mo Fan, a rogue Spirit Master, arrived here first after sensing the disturbance.
From a distance, he spotted Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
As for Lin Feng, who had emerged from beneath the magma, he was standing right beside them but was ignored by Mo Fan.
"Are you also Spirit Masters who came here after sensing the disturbance?"
Mo Fan asked Dugu Bo, who was in front of him, cautiously.
Dugu Bo looked at the person wearing a black daoist robe, with his entire body covered, and couldn't be bothered to respond, turning his head away.
"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see for yourself?"
Dugu Yan didn't particularly like anyone who came to this place.
After all, there was only one reason to come here: to compete with them for the Flame Crystal.
"What little girl talks so rudely."
Mo Fan immediately got a little angry, and five spirit rings lit up under his feet.
"Just a Spirit King, what are you showing off about?"
Dugu Yan glanced at Mo Fan with disdain.
Just then, several more teams of people arrived one after another from not far away.
For a moment, everyone present looked at each other.
Mo Fan looked around, then simply turned and left, temporarily abandoning the idea of teaching her a lesson.
The early bird gets the worm.
He didn't want to be the one targeted.
Hehehe~
When everyone starts fighting, if I make my move then, won't I be able to fish in troubled waters?
Mo Fan, you're truly a genius.
Mo Fan then hid behind a rock and squatted down.
At this moment, Lin Feng swept his gaze across the crowd.
"Besides one Spirit Master with innate spirit power level seven, the rest don't seem to have much talent, do they?"
"They're either Spirit Kings or Spirit Ancestors."
"They probably heard about the lava zone and came here to try their luck."
He used the 'probe' ability to look at everyone and analyzed them carefully.
The several teams of people remained at a considerable distance from each other, with no one taking the initiative to interact.
After a while.
"Lin Ye, head of the Lin family, greets Senior Dugu."
Lin Ye arrived and immediately cupped his hands in greeting towards Dugu Bo.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Isn't this Lin Feng's father?"
"We're all family, so let's skip these formalities."
"You've truly raised a good child in Lin Feng."
Dugu Bo looked at Lin Ye and said with a happy laugh.
"Hmm? Thank you, Senior Dugu!"
"My son has caused you trouble, Senior."
Lin Ye slowly stood up, surprised inwardly.
When did Lin Feng gain the recognition of the Poison Douluo? The previous times Dugu Bo saw him, he was always huffing and puffing.
However, this was a good thing now; with the Poison Douluo's help, their chances of obtaining the Flame Crystal this time increased by several points.
Lin Ye smiled and looked at Dugu Yan.
"Yan'er, long time no see."
"My little Feng often mentions you, saying he likes you very much."
"Really, Uncle Lin?"
"Did Lin Feng really say he liked me at home?"
Dugu Yan's heart bloomed with joy upon hearing Lin Ye's words.
"It's true, Yan'er."
"My Lin Feng even said he wanted me to find a time to propose a child-betrothal to your grandfather."
Lin Ye said with a kind smile, nodding affirmingly.
"Hahahahaha!"
"This little rascal, he thinks things through quite thoroughly."
Dugu Bo laughed loudly as he looked at the clever Lin Feng behind him.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Senior, I must praise Lin Feng in front of you."
"Lin Feng has been smart and sensible since he was a child, always well-behaved."
"He could run at one, climb trees at three, and had read all the family's books by five."
...
"But at home, he never interacted with other girls."
"Who would have thought that after meeting Yan'er at school at six, he fell in love at first sight."
"Every time he came home, he would tell me that he would only marry Yan'er in this life."
"Hahahahaha, you tell me, this child is still so young, where did he learn all this?"
Lin Ye looked at Dugu Bo, also laughing, and spoke endlessly about Lin Feng's childhood anecdotes.
"How annoying!"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes to the side, muttering softly.
Where did you come up with these words? Is this even me? I'm embarrassed just listening.
When did I ever massage your back? You were never home all year round.
And only marry Yan'er? Slander, pure slander.
I never said that.
"Cough, cough!"
"Um, Father?"
Lin Feng quickly coughed twice, blinking his bright, sparkling eyes, indicating his presence.
He was afraid that if he didn't speak, Lin Ye might just reveal stories about him wetting his pants as a child.
"Feng? Lin Feng?"
"Why are you here?"
"Ha!—Ha—Hahaha!"
Lin Ye laughed awkwardly, his eyes slightly curious as he confirmed whether it was indeed Lin Feng.
When did this son arrive?
"Oh, Father."
"Don't look, it's me."
"I've been here the whole time."
Lin Feng looked at Lin Ye with a speechless expression.
"Uh, haha—uh."
"You? Emmm... have you eaten?"
Lin Ye stopped his awkward laugh, trying to make conversation.
"Lin Feng, I didn't realize you loved me so much."
Dugu Yan, who was beside them, paid no attention to what was happening between the two.
She rushed forward to Lin Feng and gave him a few hard pecks.
"Alright, alright."
"Little brats."
"Let's talk business."
Lin Ye suddenly became serious.
"Senior Dugu, I never expected the Flame Spirit Beast King, who hasn't appeared for decades, to appear now."
"I already saw people from the Imperial family when I first arrived."
"This battle for the Flame Crystal will likely be difficult."
"The general of the Baroque Kingdom is also a fire-attribute Spirit Douluo, and there's also Huo Long from Blazing Academy."
"The Star Luo Empire probably won't send anyone, but I'm afraid Spirit Hall will interfere in this matter."
Lin Ye sighed repeatedly, speaking to Dugu Bo with a worried expression.
"Indeed!"
Dugu Bo just nodded, then his expression turned thoughtful, and he said nothing more.
He knew that Lin Ye's words were true, and he wasn't very confident about this Flame Crystal battle either.
At this moment.
Suddenly, several loud laughs came from a distance.
"Hahahaha."
"I wonder who got here before me?"
"So it's Senior Dugu and Brother Lin?"
"Hahahaha."
Huo Long's laughter was rough and unrestrained.
The pressure of his eight-ring Spirit Douluo cultivation was released in an instant.
It seemed to warn the other teams not to participate, or else—death.
The others were instantly suppressed by this deterrence, and they shivered involuntarily.
"A Spirit, a Spirit Douluo?"
"Brothers, let's retreat."
"Whoever wants this thing can have it."
A mercenary group leader spoke first, leading the rest of his men to hastily withdraw.
"Hmm?"
"Didn't I tell you?"
"Don't play your little tricks in front of me."
Huo Long's peripheral vision instantly spotted Mo Fan, who was trying to hide behind a rock, and released a mental shock towards him.
