Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 56 The Serpent God's Seven-Section Secret Technique, The Ring of Poison

"You're finally back, kid. This time you can stay a little longer, right?"

On his way back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Qiuyang encountered Dugu Bo, who was returning from the Sunset Forest.

He joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but he had no intention of abandoning the treasure land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. He would go back to visit from time to time and tinker with various medicinal herbs.

"I'm afraid that won't work," Ning Qiuyang said. "I'll be leaving soon, and this time I might be gone for even longer."

"Oh, right." Ning Qiuyang suddenly remembered something.

"I have now broken through to the Soul Master level and can summon the souls of Soul Kings. I wonder how strong Elder Dugu's ancestors were when they solved the problem of Martial Soul poisons."

"You're already a Soul Master?"

Dugu Bo asked incredulously.

"In all my years, I have never seen anyone whose cultivation speed is as fast as yours."

Dugu Bo was slightly touched that Ning Qiuyang still remembered to help him solve the problem of the poison in his martial soul.

"The Dugu family has also experienced several major calamities, and there are far fewer records of the past. However, our ancestor, who was at the Soul King level, should have been able to access methods to solve the problem of martial souls."

"Alright, when we get back, I will summon the spirits of the ancestors of the Dugu family, hoping to completely resolve the issues of your and Sister Yan's martial spirits."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Dugu Bo, on the contrary, comforted Ning Qiuyang.

"The poison problem between Yan Yan and me will not erupt in the short term. With your cultivation speed, you will be able to summon the souls of Soul Emperors or even Soul Saints in a few years."

As the two spoke, the castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came into view in the distance.

After returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Qiuyang talked with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing for a while before going with Dugu Yan to his and Dugu Bo's home in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Although Dugu Bo spoke casually, he actually seemed a little nervous when it came to summoning the spirits of the dead.

After all, the problem of the Jade Serpent King's venom backlash had been troubling him for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to completely resolve it.

Ning Qiuyang unleashed his first soul skill, the Domain, and activated the soul skill.

A thirty-four-year-old ghost was summoned.

With Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan as the catalysts, the ghosts Ning Qiuyang summons must be the ghosts of the Dugu family.

Dugu Bo asked expectantly:

"Ancestor, do you know how to solve the problem of the backlash from the Azure Serpent Emperor's martial soul poison?"

To prove his identity, Dugu Bo also released his martial spirit.

The departed spirit shook its head and said:
"I didn't know that by my generation, the family's secret techniques had been lost for over a hundred years."

Dugu Bo was slightly disappointed, but still said, "Thank you for troubling me, Ancestor."

"Should we push the timeline back another hundred years?"

Ning Qiuyang was confident, and the next time he summoned a soul from a more distant past.

This time, the spirit gave a different answer.

"I have heard of a solution, but my Jade Serpent Emperor Martial Soul has not accumulated much poison, so it will not backfire on me. I don't need this secret technique, so I haven't learned it."

"Farewell to the ancestors."

Although we haven't gotten an answer yet, we're not far from finding a precise solution.

After Ning Qiuyang used the Summoning of the Dead four more times, finally, a spirit that clearly knew how to control the poison of the Jade Serpent King was summoned.

"So the Seven-Section Serpent God Technique has been lost? Your ability to break through to the Title Douluo level without the help of the secret technique is top-notch in the entire history of the Dugu family."

"The Seven-Section Secret Technique of the Serpent God? Please pass on the technique from our ancestors."

The ghost held nothing back from speaking of Dugu Bo, a junior.

"The so-called Seven-Section Serpent God Secret Technique is used when the poison of the Dugu family's Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul accumulates to the point of backfiring on itself. A special meridian-severing technique, combined with a special soul power circulation method, locks the poison onto the Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul." "It can condense all the poison at once, forming a poison ring on the Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul. Not only does it not weaken the power of the Azure Serpent Emperor, but it can also enhance the quality of the Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, causing the poison to undergo a qualitative change."

"It is said that the Azure Serpent King can condense seven poison rings and fuse them into one, which can become an unprecedented tenth soul ring, thus achieving the Serpent God Body."

"However, even if a member of the Dugu family cultivates to the level of a Title Douluo, they can only condense two or three poison rings at most. The idea of ​​combining seven rings to become the Snake God is very likely a saying from their ancestor to encourage future generations."

"Alright, after saying so much, I will now pass on the Seven Intercepts of the Serpent God Secret Technique to you."

This wandering spirit used himself as a model to demonstrate the Seven-Section Secret Technique of the Serpent God from beginning to end.

"This secret technique is quite something."

Ning Qiuyang felt that the person who could come up with such a secret method was definitely a genius.

If the seven rings of poison truly accumulate and merge into one.

Even if they don't become gods, their chances of becoming Limit Douluo will at least increase significantly.

However, according to this ghost, it seems that no one in the Dugu family has been able to condense seven poison rings, let alone combine them into one.

"Brother Qiuyang, thank you."

After obtaining the Seven-Section Secret Technique of the Serpent God, Dugu Bo began his cultivation.

The backlash from the toxins in his body had become quite severe, causing him prolonged suffering.

His eccentric temperament was largely due to the long-term torment he suffered from toxins.

Dugu Yan's venom from the Azure Serpent King is not yet fully accumulated, so it's not time to use this secret technique.

“Senior Dugu is an elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Helping him is also helping myself. Sister Dugu, please don’t be so polite.”

"That won't do, I must thank you properly."

Suddenly, Dugu Yanzi hugged Ning Qiuyang.

“You not only solved the problem of the backlash from the toxins on my grandfather and me, but you even helped my grandfather advance further. I can never repay you enough.”

"Dugu Yan, what are you doing?"

"Release my lord."

"Dugu Yan, you are so awful."

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Zhuyun came to find Ning Qiuyang and happened to see Dugu Yan embracing Ning Qiuyang, which made them furious.

In their eyes, any talk of repayment or gratitude is just an excuse.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to seduce the innocent Ning Qiuyang while they are away, and she might even be trying to have him all to herself.

Dugu Yan remained calm and composed, her expression unchanged.

"Why are you here? I am truly grateful to Brother Qiuyang, please don't misunderstand."

Ning Rongrong rushed over immediately.

"We've all come here, and you still can't let go? Is this how you express your gratitude?"

Dugu Yan tucked her disheveled purple hair behind her ear and said casually:

"Isn't it normal to repay a life-saving debt with one's own body? Brother Qiuyang saved both my grandfather and me, so I should thank him even more."

"It's a beautiful thought."

Ning Rongrong pulled Dugu Yan away.

Meanwhile, the Zhu sisters, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, seized every opportunity to protect Ning Qiuyang from both sides, determined not to give Dugu Yan any chance to take advantage of the situation.

Ning Rongrong was filled with hatred.

I went to great lengths to pull Dugu Yan away, only to let you all crowd around?
With too many enemies, Ning Rongrong felt she couldn't fight them all and had to change her tactics.
