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

Chapter 71 Can you even fly?

……

"I thought you were really good at holding it in."

Seeing Xuanming's outburst of insults, Dugu Bo wasn't particularly annoyed.

He was indeed a little worried that Xuanming was holding onto his resentment towards him from back then, but he could also tell that this kid wasn't the kind of treacherous person.

If Xuanming were the type to keep everything bottled up, he wouldn't have brought this kid back to Tiandou City in the first place, much less put him and Dugu Yan together.

A genius is indeed a good thing, but he would never do something that would lead to his own downfall.

Today, he just wanted to know what Xuanming's attitude was towards Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Does it mean they care, or they don't?

However, judging from the kid's condition, it seems unlikely that we'll get anything out of him.

"Alright, now that we've talked it out, I won't bring it up again." Dugu Bo jumped down from the big rock.

“I remember we made things clear when I first came back,” Xuanming said speechlessly.

"Ahem, don't you know I'm a suspicious person?" Dugu Bo was a little embarrassed, but still shameless.

Xuanming took a deep breath, not wanting to say anything more about this matter, "You..."

Xuanming's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at the other side of the hill. "What's the situation over there?"

“This is my villa, and that’s my medicine shed,” Dugu Bo said.

"Medicine herb? You're a medicinal herb farmer?" Xuanming said.

"Poison!" Dugu Bo said irritably.

"Can I go over and take a look?" Xuanming asked.

"No." Dugu Bo refused without even thinking.

"The environment over there is very dangerous. Let alone a newly-broken Great Soul Master like you, even a Soul King would be doomed if he went in without a second thought."

Xuanming's physique is indeed powerful, having reached the level of a Soul Venerable above level 30. However, even a Soul Venerable would absolutely not be able to withstand the impact of the ice and fire poisons in that place!

“Don’t think I’m being stingy. Even Yan Yan, I’ve never brought her here before,” Dugu Bo said.

"If you're really interested, I can bring you here when you're ready to handle the dangers of this place."

"Besides, if you stay with Yanyan, this place will all be yours from now on."

"There are lots of treasures inside!"

Xuanming ignored Dugu Bo and thought for a moment, "What if I activate my domain?"

"Domain?" Dugu Bo was taken aback.

“I was able to force out the deadly poison from the Nine-Section Jadeite, so this shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Xuanming said.

Dugu Bo thought for a moment, "I'm afraid that won't work. The poison of the Nine-Section Jade is very special. Once it is injected into a Soul Master's body, it will be integrated into the Soul Master's own Soul Power. Therefore, even if a Soul Saint is bitten, he will lose half his life."

"Your domain is indeed amazing, it can even forcibly suppress and stop your own soul power, but the energy conflict inside is very large, and your domain may not be able to stop it."

Xuanming's domain effect is somewhat similar to his eighth soul skill, the effect of freezing time and space, but it is not as powerful. However, if the energy in the area covered by the domain is too weak, it will be suppressed to a state of near stagnation.

However, if the energy is strong enough, the domain cannot suppress it, just like when we encountered the Thunder Serpent last night.

"It's worth a try, right?" Xuanming said. "Since it's an energy conflict, the closer to the core, the stronger the conflict must be. I'll try it at the edge first. If I can withstand it, I'll go in and take a look. If I can't withstand it, I'm not one to seek death."

Dugu Bo thought for a moment, "Alright, I'll show you, but you mustn't be reckless. If that poison damages your meridians and internal organs, it won't be a small matter."

This hellish place is a treasure trove for him, but for low-level Soul Masters, it's no different from hell. As soon as they enter the valley, their bodies will be invaded by the energy containing both ice and fire poison.

If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't even take a moment; just a few breaths would be enough to kill them.

……

Leaving the villa, we continued climbing the hill and soon reached the summit.

Before us was an inverted cone-shaped valley, from which thick, hot air rose, carrying the smell of sulfur.

The valley was deep, and the constant heat created a thick layer of mist in the air. If you flew over it, you would only think that there was a miasma there. Such miasma was not uncommon in Sunset Forest, but it was not a rare thing either.

No wonder so many Soul Masters have entered Sunset Forest to hunt for Soul Rings, yet they've never discovered anything like this here.

However, since there are records of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Douluo Continent, it means that a Soul Master must have found this place a long time ago, but simply did not pass on the location.

Of course, it's also possible that his cultivation level was insufficient, and he was corroded by the deadly poison of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, dying not long after leaving.

"How do you feel? Are you confident?" Dugu Bo asked.

"If you're not confident, then forget it. If something happens to you, Yan Yan will definitely blame me."

"What can I sense here?" Xuanming asked speechlessly.

“Then go down and experience it,” Dugu Bo said.

"What, you can't even get down?"

Xuanming's eye twitched slightly. "Don't you think you're being childish?"

Dugu Bo snorted softly, without refuting.

He's someone who hates trouble, and this place is too dangerous. He really doesn't want to go through all that trouble and just wants the kid to back down.

Seeing Dugu Bo's meaning, Xuanming didn't say much and directly summoned the Blood Spear, with two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, rising from the soles of his feet.

"Second Soul Skill - Thunderclap!"

A purple soul ring flashed, and blue and white lightning erupted from the blood spear, faintly gathering a pair of lightning wings near the spear tip!
Dugu Bo's eye twitched. "You can't fly, can you?"

"Guess?" Xuanming gripped the blood spear tightly, leaped into the air, and flew down the valley. Driven by the blood spear, he swooped down as fast as lightning.

"Are you crazy!?" Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then swooped down and chased after him.

This valley is hundreds of meters deep!

Falling straight down would be certain death, so why would they accelerate downwards?

"You little brat, don't..." Dugu Bo caught up, but before he could even try to rescue the person, Xuan Ming started showing off his skills.

Xuanming gently twisted the blood spear, causing the lightning wings to shift and the direction of flight to change. The blood spear with its lightning wings carried Xuanming as it spiraled down through the deep valley.

When they were still more than a hundred meters away from the bottom of the valley, Xuanming had flown to the top of an open space. His lightning wings were almost exhausted and began to dissipate, and his flight speed slowed down.

As he was about to land, the lightning wings dissipated, and white light surged from Xuanming's body. Powerful resistance enveloped his body from all directions, even filling his body, slowing down and eliminating the last bit of inertia, allowing him to stand steadily on the ground.

"..." Dugu Bo.

Are you showing off your skills?
