16: Chapter 16 - Rose Hotel

Chapter 16 - Rose Hotel

A man who has long, poison green hair, and wears stylized black robes can be seen meditating just outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. This man is the famous Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

'The sound of fighting finally stopped.' Dugu bo was not afraid to look and see what's happening. He just wanted to cultivate and protect his medicinal garden.

'Hmmm, someone was coming. Whoever you are don't think that you could leave after coming here.' Dugu bo sneered and head towards the direction which he sense someone.

.................

John wearing a black cloak was running towards the place where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located when suddenly a person blocks his path.

"Boy, you're brave enough to come here." Dugu Bo said while starting to emit some spiritual pressure towards John.

"Hmmm, Junior meets the famous Poison Douluo." John greeted while taking off his hood.

Dugu bo was surprised too see how young and handsome John was but he did stop his spiritual pressure.

"What's your purpose of coming here?, I will maybe kill you depending on your answer." Dugu Bo asked while looking at John.

"I wanted to visit the place inside as I feel some treasures and medicinal herbs there.." John answered while looking at Dugu Bo without fear.

"Presumptuous!!! Even if there was, It is mine. Boy, I will kill you today." Dugu Bo roared and his nine spirit rings were released and emitting a terrifying pressure towards John.

"Senior Dugu, how about we talked peacefully." John said without having any difficulty from the spiritual pressure.

Dugu bo was surprised to see that John was still standing without any difficulty and fear in his eyes but this does not dissuade him from killing him.

"Boy, you're very talented and still young, given enough time you will probably become a peerless spirit master in the future, but sadly your journey will end here." Dugu bo said. He was about to take action when suddenly he felt a powerful pressure coming from the boy.

John used Haoshoku Haki while smiling at Dugu Bo. He then said "Senior, I just want to come here and pick some herbs but it seems like your life is not that important to you. How about you give it to me."

Dugu Bo who feels a terrible pressure was now kneeling on the ground while having a shocked expression and couldn't calm down anymore as he now finally know why the boy was so calm from the beginning. He now understood that the boy was stronger than him.

"T-This young lord, please forgive this old man and beg to let this old man go. In return, you can do whatever you want inside." Dugu Bo immediately pleaded. He knew that his life was more important than his precious herbs.

"Hehehehe, Senior, did you forget that that place will become mine when I also kill you." John was smiling while looking at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo's face was already pale from the pressure. He was thinking of what kind of person he offended this time. He still wanted to fend off the pressure but found it futile.

After how many minutes, John saw Dugu Bo was already unconscious, he then stopped his Haoshoku Haki.

John then start heading deep in the forest.

..................

After John arrived, he saw a hot spring. The hot spring isn't large, it is however split into two parts. In the oval pool, the waters of the hot spring is separately colored milky white and vermilion. Even more bizarre, even though they were in the same pool they remained clearly separated, not encroaching on each other and constantly keeping to their own sides.

'This is it. System, help me locate all the precious herbs in this place.' John ordered while looking at how wonderful this place was.

With the helped of the system, John was already done picking the herbs. Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Beautiful Silk Tulip, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Yearning Heartbroken Red, etc. were all in his inventory. He then said "I think Dugu Bo was already awake by now."

John then came back where he left Dugu Bo unconscious.

Dugu Bo after seeing me, knelled down and said "Young Lord, thank you for your kindness for letting this old man live."

John looked at Dugu Bo and said "I'm done collecting the herbs I want, now I want you to show me your spirit beast body enhancement and your 7th spirit ring ability."

Dugu Bo was surprised by what John said. He asked "Young lord, what are you going to do when you see them?"

John just looked at Dugu Bo.

Upon seeing John's eyes, Dugu Bo shuddered and then start his spirit transformation.

"Jade Phosphor Serpent Body Enhancement". Dugu Bo was now covered with a snake-like jade armor.

[Initial Skill: Jade Phosphor Serpent Body Enhancement has been picked up.]

After picking it up, John then said "Show me your 7th spirit ring ability."

"7th Spirit Ring Ability: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor" Dugu bo's seven spirit ring brightened, and immediately afterward his tall and thin body started to expand within that jade light, shooting up.

Equally rhombic emerald scales, like sheets of inlaid jade, Dugu Bo's human body had already disappeared, transformed into an immense jade green serpent. The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's was completely covered in scale armor.

[Spirit Ability: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor has been picked up.]

"Your spirit is good." John said while looking at Dugu Bo's Avatar.

After hearing what John said, Dugu Bo then cancel his transformation.

"For showing me such amazing skill, I will also help you in return" John said and then asked the system 'System is there any items that can cure Dugu Bo?'

[Yes]

'Then show it to me.' John said.

[Heaven's Tear

Description: A vial which contains the heaven's tear. After drinking, any kinds of poison and curse will be cured.

Price: 300,000]

After seeing the price, John hesitated for a while but still bought it.

'Buy it' John said and then the item was stored in his inventory. He summoned it and look at it for a while before throwing it Dugu Bo.

"Drink that after I'm gone. It will help you." John said before turning back and started walking.

"Young Lord, may I know the reason why you wanted to see my spirit ring ability?" Dugu Bo asked curiously after catching the Heaven's Heal.

John tuned back and looked at him while smiling and then said "Jade Phosphor Serpent Body Enhancement."

John then was covered with a jade scale armor like what Dugu Bo has.

Dugu Bo was so shocked from what he saw. He can't understand what was happening right now.

"H-How?" Dugu Bu was out of words and could only asked.

"We will meet again." John answered and canceled his transformation. He then started walking away without looking back at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo was still shocked while looking at the direction which John headed. He can't really understand what happened earlier.

After a while, Dugu Bo looked at the vial in his hands. "Young Lord said that this thing will help me."

Dugu Bo then opened and drank it..

Gulp.Gulp.

After Dugu Bo drank it, he feels as if something was gone in his body and he also feels so relaxed.

"I didn't expect to had a breakthrough.!! " Dugu Bo excitedly said.

"Wait, the poisons were g-gone!!" Dugu Bo was shocked after checking his body. 0

"If only I'd known what the effects of this medicine, I should have given it to my granddaughter." Dugu Bo sighed as he know what the medicine was for.

"I did not even know the Young Lord's name. Well, he said that we will meet again. I hope it will be soon as I want to introduced my granddaughter to him." Dugu Bo said while thinking that John and his granddaughter was compatible.

Dugu Bo looked around and saw some spirit beast who were lying on the ground unconscious.

"How terrifying." Dugu Bo then left.

___________________________

It was already night, at Suotuo City's south gate entered a youth in a black cloak.

"After months of travelling, at last I arrived. I don't know which day will Tang San and Xiao Wu will arrive but I know that I'm way early." John said while looking at his surroundings and then start walking towards the Famous Rose Hotel.

Balak Kingdom, located in south Heaven Dou Empire, bordering with Fasinuo Province. Speaking of this kingdom, its actual area was only four thirds of Fasinuo Province, subordinate to Heaven Dou Empire. Within the borders of Heaven Dou Empire it was one of four great kingdoms. Balak's king Kundela was the current Heaven Dou Empire's king Aokula's younger cousin.

Southern Balak Kingdom bordered directly on Star Luo Empire, consequently, among Heaven Dou Empire's four kingdoms, Balak Kingdom's military strength was the most powerful, and it could also be said to be the gateway to Heaven Dou Empire.

Heaven Dou Empire originally had ten provinces that were later divided among the four great kingdoms forming six powers: the Empire itself directly controlled five provinces, the four great kingdoms each controlled one, and there was still one duchy second only to kingdoms, occupying the smallest province on the Empire's eastern side.

On the surface, the four great kingdoms and one duchy must all be subject to Heaven Dou Empire's rule, but in fact, these five states long ago already became nations within a nation, besides the necessary tribute, they were all entirely independent. If not for Heaven Dou Imperial Family controlling a large number of troops, perhaps a civil war would long ago already have appeared.

Star Luo Empire also had similar circumstances, consequently, while the two empires looked to be strong forces, in fact both were in decline. If someone spoke badly, that day the entire Continent's situation would abruptly transform.

Within Balak Kingdom were two most important cities, one was Balak king Kundela's resident capital Balake City, here was the heart of the entire Balake Kingdom's politics and industry. And the other city was located at the richest granary within the borders of Balak Kingdom called Suotuo City.

These two cities both had massive garrisons, and were the entire Kingdom's highest priority.

Suotuo City was a large city, this bit could be seen from Spirit Hall's allocated as the third ranked Lord Spirit Hall.

.................

------After a week------

Currently just past noon, the blazing sun shining fiercely, at Suotuo City's west gate entered two youths. By looks, they both only appear to be ten-some years old, not carrying any luggage, one boy and one girl. This is Tang San and Xiao Wu.

.................

John who was resting on his room was disturbed by some noises coming in the 1st floor. He stood up and adjusted his clothes and came out of his room.

After John went down, he smiled while looking at the three people arguing. 'It's finally the Shrek Academy Arc, this three people must be Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai.'

John just find a place to observe them without getting caught.

After arguing for a while, the two party did not come to a conclusion and started to fight. Tang San and Dai Mubai already did a couple of punches and kicks when suddenly Dai Mubai used white tiger body enhancement. The fight still continued, both uses their spirit ring abilities while exchanging blows. After a while Tang San gained the upper hand but it was countered again by Dai Mubai by activating his third spirit ring ability. After seeing and understanding Dai Mubai's third spirit ring ability, Xiao Wu also activated her body enhancement preparing to help Tang San.

John was not immersed at the fight, he was smiling while hearing the system notifications.

[Innate Skill: White Tiger Body Enhancement has been picked up.]

[Spirit Ability: White Tiger Shield Body Barrier has been picked up.]

John just smiled from the notifications.

After a while, the fight stopped.

Dai Mubai then turn back to normal and said "I think, we very quickly will meet again. Going to Shrek Academy, if someone gives you trouble, give them my Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai's name."

Finished speaking, he beckoned to that pair of twin young women, taking the lead to leave the hotel.

Xiao Wu couldn't help but say at the figure of Dai Mubai's back "How did you know we are going to Shrek Academy?"

Dai Mubai stopped walking, coldly said "You are only about twelve years old, at this age, possessing more than twentieth ranked spirit power, at this time, if not coming here to sign up at Shrek Academy, then what ever for? Twelve years old, ha-ha, twelve years old, I'm already fifteen year's old. Tang San, I'll await you at Shrek Academy."

Final words fading, Dai Mubai's already left the hotel.

Looking at his departing back, Xiao Wu somewhat unconvinced snorted, "This person really is fishy. By one look is not some good person. Little San, hereafter even if we go to Shrek Academy, still must not have dealings with him."

Tang San was not looking at Dai Mubai back, he was looking around the hotel as he feels that the someone was looking at them and he feels that it was very familiar.

"Brother San, what are you looking?" Xiao Wu asked when she Tang San was looking around.

Tang woke up by Xiao Wu's voice and then said "It's nothing"

The two then talk to the manager and finally get the room.

John on the other hand was already in his room while lying on the bed. He smiled by the skills he picked up today. 'Let's wait for a few days and then head to Shrek Academy.'
