Douluo: Venom Spirit, possesses Xiao Wu at the beginning.

Chapter 703 The Shock of Sword Bone Poison
Qibao Glazed Sect.

A streak of dark light flashed across the sky.

Ye Qiu had no intention of greeting the guards hidden in the shadows. He spotted Sword and Bone Douluo through his enhanced Purple Demon Eyes and immediately stealthily moved in that direction.

It was morning, and the sun was shining brightly.

Inside the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, some whispers could be heard. Ning Fengzhi, along with Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, were all gathered together, seemingly discussing something important.

"Fengzhi, are we really going to help? This is no easy task, and it might even be thankless work."

Bone Douluo said with deep concern.

"That's right, and their strength might not be as they say, that they haven't fully recovered." Sword Douluo also had his worries. Generally speaking, as the strongest offensive Soul Master in the Soul Master world, Sword Douluo Chen Xin would naturally not be intimidated before the battle even begins. But this time, if they agreed to their request, the enemy they were about to face would definitely be extraordinary.

"I'm still considering this matter. I want to secretly inform the Spirit Hall, but if such a top-secret matter is leaked, it will inevitably arouse their suspicion. It's not time to completely break ties yet."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, looking somewhat helpless; his past reputation had simply been too good.

“Hey, I don’t have anything to worry about. How about I leak this information?” Dugu Bo suddenly said with a smile.

At that moment, Sword Douluo's sword-like eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and his expression turned serious.

What a powerful yet unfamiliar aura!
Swish-!
Without the slightest hesitation, Sword Douluo quickly stood up, and the Seven Kill Sword appeared directly above his head. Nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—spinned and spiraled upwards. He formed a sword shape with two fingers, ready to strike at any moment.
"who?!"

Bone Douluo followed closely behind, summoning his Bone Dragon Martial Soul, which circled around him and Ning Fengzhi, warily scanning the surrounding space inside the hall.

Hiss!

The Azure Phosphorus Serpent King flicked its tongue, trying to locate the strangers who had infiltrated the main hall by observing changes in the surrounding temperature.

Ning Fengzhi reacted quickly, immediately summoning the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out in Dugu Bo's and the other two's ears, "It's me, the two seniors, Uncle Ning, and Grandpa Dugu."

The words fell.

Ye Qiu, dressed in black with black hair and black eyes, appeared directly in the main hall, standing gracefully at the entrance of the council hall. A slight smile played on his lips; it seemed his infiltration mission had been quite successful.

"It's you, you little rascal!"

Dugu Bo looked surprised, never expecting that this kid would return to the mainland.

"Ye Qiu!"

Bone Douluo's face was filled with shock. Sword Douluo, on the other hand, had already begun to concern himself with Ye Qiu's cultivation level, constantly scrutinizing him. Ye Qiu had actually managed to sneak in here so silently; his cultivation had definitely improved considerably, at the very least his spiritual power! But when Sword Douluo sensed the aura emanating from Ye Qiu, he couldn't help but be shocked. His sharp eyes flashed with astonishment.
Its aura is absolutely on par with Contra!

Could it be that Poseidon Island is really that magical?

Ning Fengzhi was the most shocked. Unlike the three Title Douluos beside him, he could genuinely feel the pressure emanating from Ye Qiu. He must understand, he had already reached the pinnacle of what an ordinary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master could achieve—a level 79 Soul Saint!
The only thing that could put pressure on him would have to be Contra, right?
"Haha. It is indeed this junior. Uncle Ning, it's been a long time. I hope my sudden appearance didn't scare you." Ye Qiu smiled, his black coat slowly shrinking as he approached Dugu Bo and the others.

Dugu Bo patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder and praised him with some pride: "Hehehe, you've improved a lot! But you've also made great progress in your manners, you know to call me grandpa now."

Hearing Dugu Bo's strange laughter, Ye Qiu no longer found it jarring; instead, he felt a sense of familiarity. After all, he hadn't heard that kind of laughter for two years.

Smiling, he spread his hands in response:

"I've been away for two years. I must have learned something before I return so as not to embarrass you seniors, right?"

"I'm afraid you've learned more than just a little bit, haven't you?" Ning Fengzhi had already put away his martial spirit, his face showing surprise as he asked curiously, "Ye Qiu, I wonder what your strength is now? Even I feel a little scared when I face you."

"Indeed, we're curious too." Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo also withdrew their martial spirits and looked at Ye Qiu. The shock of Ye Qiu's sudden appearance had even made them temporarily forget about Princess Ning Rongrong.

"Haha. I'm sure the elders have already guessed it, right? Then I won't hide anything from you." Ye Qiu smiled and, without holding back, began to demonstrate.

Ye Qiu opened his right hand, and a small, black tadpole-like creature emerged from his palm, wriggling and jumping. Besides the few white markings that were already present on its surface, it now displayed several colors: blue, gold, red, gray, and radiating a faint dark glow. These clearly represented the five talent domains that Ye Qiu had now mastered.

What attracted Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo even more was the spirit ring rising from beneath Ye Qiu's feet.

Black, purple, black, red... a total of seven soul rings!

"How, how is this possible?!"

Bone Douluo nearly popped his eyes out. There were three Title Douluo powerhouses among them, yet even they didn't possess red 100,000-year spirit rings. But Ye Qiu had two! How could this not shock them?

"Nothing is impossible, old bones, have you forgotten?" Although Sword Douluo's eyes also flashed with shock, he remained relatively rational and reminded him, "That kid Ye Qiu told us before we set off that on Seagod Island, we can not only get cultivation rewards, but also rewards for increasing the age of our soul rings, as well as the so-called divinely bestowed soul ring rewards!"

"Senior Chen Xin is right. I am now an 80th-level Soul Saint, and my seventh soul ring is the divinely bestowed soul ring I mentioned earlier. As for the other soul rings that exceed the standard, they were all upgraded on Seagod Island due to the Seagod's and Asura God's trials." Ye Qiu explained with a smile. He was naturally quite proud to be able to make these Title Douluos show such incredulous expressions.

"hiss--!"

Dugu Bo gasped and couldn't help but exclaim, "You're too monstrous, kid! Even with the divine test, you went from a level 68 Soul Emperor to a level 80 Soul Saint in just two years. That's probably inseparable from your own talent."

　Wishing you all a happy life!
