Chapter 62: That Child, Could He Also Be a God's Chosen?
🕑 Added 2025-08-03 13:40:44 +0000 UTCInside the Ye family clinic,
Ye Wuyi carefully treated Ignaz's injuries while sternly lecturing Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.
"You two children don’t know when to hold back! Look at what you’ve done to poor Iggy!"
Although Ye Wuyi had a general idea of what had happened — it was definitely Ignaz who had provoked Dugu Yan, leading to retaliation from both sisters — the injuries were indeed severe!
"He brought it on himself. Who told him to—"
Dugu Yan was about to speak when Ye Lingling grabbed her dress hem, signaling her to stay quiet.
"Mom, we know we were wrong!"
"Be more careful next time. If Iggy didn’t have some resistance to toxins, you two would’ve killed him already."
Before she could finish speaking, Dugu Bo, dressed in green robes with black hair, walked in. Upon seeing Ignaz collapse weakly on the wooden bed, he was greatly surprised.
"You little brat, what happened here?"
"Senior, your granddaughter tried to poison me to death."
As soon as Ignaz said this, and before he could even receive Dugu Yan’s resentful glare, Dugu Bo scolded him.
"Serves you right! Who told you to provoke my granddaughter? Consider this punishment a lesson."
"Senior, I’m the one who got hurt the most here."
Dugu Bo ignored Ignaz’s words and instead expressed his apologies to Ye Wuyi before leaving with Dugu Yan and Ignaz.
"Lingling, we’ll see each other at school another day."
"Alright, Sister Yan."
...
After returning to the Dugu residence, Dugu Bo deliberately examined Ignaz once more, then had someone arrange a guest room for him. The cheerful Dugu Yan had already gone to bed early.
Before leaving, Dugu Bo turned back and gave a special warning.
"Kid Ignaz, don’t go wandering around at night, or what awaits you won’t be Yan Yan’s poison, but this old man’s fist."
"Don’t worry, senior. I’m a very rule-abiding person."
The door closed heavily, and Ignaz lay on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
At the same time, in a secret chamber of the Crown Prince’s residence in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace,
A stunningly beautiful woman with golden hair reaching her waist, red lips, and pearly white teeth, dressed in an elegant white and purple gown, was hidden in the interplay of darkness and light, making her appear extremely mysterious.
"Young Master, we’ve investigated thoroughly. Dugu Bo completely defeated Yu Yuanzhen in their battle, and the person who caused those two Titled Douluo to fight was a child whose strength had already reached Spirit Ancestor level."
"Yu Tianheng was injured by that child, and that child is at most 14 years old."
The speaker was none other than She Long from the Elder Hall of Spirit City, and the woman hidden in the darkness was Qian Renxue of the Angel lineage, the most talented member of the current Angel family.
As the only Titled Douluo among the Heaven Dou Empire’s royal worship, and having a deep friendship with Prince Xue Qinghe, everything Dugu Bo did in Heaven Dou City, as well as his granddaughter Dugu Yan, was under Qian Renxue’s surveillance.
Two months ago, when Dugu Bo took Ignaz away, the spies lurking in Heaven Dou City had already informed the two elders of this news.
Qian Renxue, sitting on the dark throne, suddenly stood up and said with confusion,
"Dugu Bo actually managed to defeat Yu Yuanzhen? How strange."
Qian Renxue still had doubts about this battle's result. A level 92 Titled Douluo who had nearly died under Chrysanthemum Pass’s hands a few years ago — how could he possibly defeat a level 95 Titled Douluo?
However, she wasn’t particularly concerned about this matter. What moved her most was the child Dugu Bo had personally taken away, who could defeat Yu Tianheng.
After all, Qian Renxue herself had an unprecedented innate level 20 spirit power, and when she was 14 years old, she had barely reached level 43. She never expected to encounter another person with such top-tier talent in her lifetime.
"Have you investigated that child’s identity and background clearly?"
A steady male voice came from the darkness. She Long and Ci Xue, in front, immediately bowed their heads respectfully. She Long said with some excitement,
"Young Master, that person is called Ignaz. The martial spirit in his hands is a blood-colored spear. This is all the information we’ve gathered about him over the past two months."
She handed over the information page he had painstakingly gathered from Heaven Dou City and the surrounding areas to Qian Renxue.
After Qian Renxue glanced over it, she was somewhat disappointed. Apart from his name and martial spirit, no additional information about Ignaz had been discovered. She said with some displeasure,
"Uncle She, is this all the information on Ignaz?"
"Young Master, this is all I could find."
She Long expressed his helplessness. He needed to protect Qian Renxue’s safety at all times while also dedicating part of his energy to investigating matters the Young Master needed to understand. He really couldn’t spare the time.
In fact, the root cause was that when Jiang Ping helped Ignaz awaken his martial spirit, he hadn’t registered it in detail or reported it layer by layer to Spirit City. Therefore, Spirit Hall lacked access to much information.
However, after Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, she suddenly remembered the previous message from her grandfather about the Angel God statue’s trembling, asking her to investigate thoroughly in secret. Her brow furrowed slightly.
"Could this person be someone chosen by a god?"
If that were true, and if she could recruit him under her command, she would not only gain the help of a god but also the assistance of a future Titled Douluo, which would be extremely beneficial to her infiltration plan and might even shorten the timeline.
When she found time, she’d go back and ask her grandfather exactly what was going on.
"Pass down the order — maintain everything as is. I’ll personally test that boy myself."
"Yes, Young Master."
...
Ignaz knew nothing of what had been discussed in the palace’s secret chamber. After one night had passed, Dugu Bo consulted with Prince Xue Qinghe and brought Ignaz into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy was located outside Heaven Dou City, covering nearly 20,000 acres. The academy was constructed from pure white jade-like marble. Most importantly, it had mimetic cultivation environments — it could be considered the most complete mimetic cultivation academy on the entire continent.
Dugu Bo led the three of them down Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s main path, with Dugu Yan enthusiastically introducing the academy’s internal rules to Ignaz along the way.
"Sister Yan Yan!"
Ye Lingling, who had been waiting for a long time, waved to signal Dugu Yan.
"Yan Yan, grandfather still needs to take him to meet the three juniors. You go with Lingling first!"
"Alright."
Dugu Yan immediately gave Ignaz a meaningful look before walking away hand-in-hand with Ye Lingling.
When the two arrived at the office of the three education committee members, the members immediately bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo.
"Your Grace, Prince Xue Qinghe has already informed us of your purpose for coming today. Rest assured, we will certainly teach this child well and ensure he faces no danger."
"Excellent!"
"Greetings to the three education committee members. Please take good care of me in my future studies and life."
The three members — Zhilin and the others — looked at the child before them with particular joy. Although his origins were still unknown, just the fact that he had a Titled Douluo backing him and could still be so humble and courteous showed that this child had excellent character.
Unlike most of the worldly, cynical noble children in the academy who only knew how to idle away their days, this person would surely achieve great things sooner or later.
Before leaving, Dugu Bo warned once more,
"Kid, watch yourself at the academy. Don’t provoke anyone you shouldn’t, or this old man will definitely break your legs."
"Don’t worry, senior. I definitely won’t!"
Hearing their conversation, the three education committee members were even more surprised about Ignaz. So, this wasn’t just someone a Titled Douluo appreciated — he was actually his designated future grandson-in-law.
This kid’s luck was absolutely heaven-defying.
