Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 6 Don't drag me into this.
……

The next morning.

After cultivating all night for the first time, Xuanming opened his eyes and felt much more relaxed and refreshed.

"You have good talent," Dugu Bo said calmly.

"Talent?" Xuanming looked puzzled.

"What do you mean? Isn't talent determined by the level of innate soul power?"

“Talent encompasses too much; innate soul power is only the most superficial kind,” Dugu Bo said.

"The efficiency of soul power circulation during cultivation is the decisive factor in a soul master's cultivation speed."

"As for innate soul power, it represents the upper limit of a soul master's cultivation potential. Just as the height of a fountain cannot exceed its source, the height of a soul master's cultivation cannot exceed his potential limit."

"Can this potential be changed?" Xuanming asked.

“Of course,” Dugu Bo said.

"Many rare treasures have the ability to change a Soul Master's cultivation potential. However, every medicine has its side effects, and everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although those things can enhance a Soul Master's cultivation potential, they will also bring some side effects."

"Moreover, the cultivation of a Soul Master is like building a house. Potential is the foundation of the house. When you first start building, it is not particularly difficult to move the foundation, but when the house is built high, it becomes difficult to move the foundation."

"The earlier you use those treasures that improve your talents, the better the results."

"If you use it too late, it won't be of much use."

“Oh…” Xuanming nodded.

"Oh what? It's dawn, hurry up and brew the medicine!" Dugu Bo sneered.

"Oh."

……

After much back and forth, another day had passed, and as evening fell, Dugu Bo drank the last bowl of medicine.

Xuanming could see that Dugu Bo's injuries were healing faster and faster, because his aura was becoming deeper and deeper, and he no longer seemed to be forcing himself to stay afloat.

The medicines in that old poisoner's pouch are all precious healing items.

hum!
An invisible surge of soul power suddenly burst out, extinguishing the fire and sending Xuanming, who was meditating nearby, flying.

Dugu Bo opened his eyes, stood up, and a cold green light flashed in his eyes.

"Your injury is healed?" Xuanming walked back, somewhat speechless.

"It's about 70-80% done," Dugu Bo said.

If it weren't for this kid helping him brew the medicine, he would have been unable to move for at least three more days.

If Yue Guan and Gui Mei catch up with him while he's healing, he'll have to force himself to circulate his internal energy, and if things go wrong, the backlash from the poison might erupt.

"Can I leave now?" Xuanming asked.

"Leave?" Dugu Bo turned around, his hands behind his back.

"I taught you cultivation, and can be considered your guide. Do you want to leave?"

The meaning is quite clear: young man, I am a Title Douluo. It is your great honor to become my disciple!

hurry up!
“Aren’t you being hunted down?” Xuanming said.

"If I were to be with you, wouldn't I be a burden to you?"

If it weren't for the incident with Yue Guan and the ghost chasing him, he would have just followed the lead and climbed up the ladder.

But right now, Dugu Bo is being chased by those two people, a Title Douluo!

If they are caught up, will Dugu Bo be able to take care of him?
Given that old poisoner's personality, who knows when he might use him as a hidden weapon!
“This is troublesome…” Dugu Bo frowned.

Given the current situation, we cannot return to Sunset Forest. If we expose the location of our hideout, we will be completely doomed.

He was no match for Kiku in a one-on-one fight. If those two hadn't been wary of his snake venom, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei had been chasing him all the way from the Star Luo Empire. Although he had temporarily shaken off the two guys, the Spirit Hall had spies everywhere, and the two guys would soon be able to find his location.

This kid is so conspicuous...

"Hmm?" Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed Xuan Ming, shooting off with a burst of speed. "Old Poison! Don't run!"

A delicate shout rang out, and sharp, golden, petal-shaped throwing knives swept down from the sky.

"Damn it!" Dugu Bo's face was extremely ugly.

He had just recovered his strength, and in order to suppress the backlash from the poison, his soul power surged.

These two have actually caught up to the vicinity!

"Old Poisoner, aren't you tired after fleeing all the way from Xingluo to here?" Yue Guan's rather speechless voice came over.

"Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just honestly join the Spirit Hall and enjoy wealth and glory?"

"Wealth and glory? What a joke! Do you want to be dogs for the Spirit Hall like us?" Dugu Bo sneered.

"When Qian Xunji was killed by Tang Hao, you two didn't follow him to his death. You must have become Bibi Dong's loyal dogs, right?"

"You!" Yue Guan's killing intent exploded as he was stabbed in a painful spot, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

Are you an idiot?

Xuanming was about to lose his temper and start cursing.

You've been beaten so badly, and you're still spouting nonsense?
If you want to show off, go ahead, but don't drag me into it!
“Senior, I’ve dragged you down. Put me down and run!” Xuanming said.

They want to kill you, not me!
Don't drag me into this!

“Young man, I’ve always been clear about right and wrong. Since you’ve helped me, I certainly won’t abandon you,” Dugu Bo said.

"Moreover, my nine-section jadeite is still in your hands."

You little punk! You really think I can't see through what you're thinking?
Xuanming's expression was extremely unpleasant.

He really wanted to give that old poisoner a couple of hits!

But I'm also afraid of getting slapped to death!

“Senior, I helped you out, and you taught me how to cultivate. We’re even now, so I won’t drag you down with me,” Xuanming said through gritted teeth.

Don't drag me into this!

If anything goes wrong with those golden petal-shaped throwing knives behind him, he'll be turned into minced meat in a second!

"..."

Dugu Bo didn't say anything more and ran away at full speed.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were chasing behind, couldn't afford to pursue too closely. After all, they could sense that Dugu Bo's injuries had recovered considerably. If they chased too closely and forced the old poison master to go crazy and self-destruct, they would also be in trouble!

"Old poisoner, what's the use of you running away again? Even if you escape today, what about tomorrow?" Yue Guan began to persuade him to surrender again.

"Having offended the Spirit Hall, there is no place for you on this continent!"

"Have you forgotten the Clear Sky Sect?"

"You still have the nerve to mention Haotian Sect?" Dugu Bo said disdainfully.

"They wanted to kill and steal treasure, but were outmatched and killed instead. And they still have the nerve to bite back and denounce the Haotian Sect?"

"Everyone says I lack the demeanor of a strongman. Compared to the Spirit Hall, I am still ashamed of myself!"

"Old poisoner, no matter the reason, the Haotian Sect has been severely damaged, and closing itself off to the world is the reality!" Yue Guan said coldly.

"Don't expect the other companies to help you!"

"If you don't surrender, you will die!"

"..."

"Why don't you vote?" Xuanming said.

"Throw my ass! They're determined to kill me now!" Dugu Bo said quietly.

There's only one chance to recruit for this kind of job!
If you don't agree the first time, even if you compromise later, it will inevitably become a hidden danger!

Even if he changes his mind and surrenders now, the Spirit Hall will absolutely not tolerate him!
