Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

He then tried to control the most profound aspect of time. As his soul power was greatly depleted, the whole world seemed to slow down, or rather, the flow of time accelerated.

Huo Yuhao's face lit up with ecstasy. This was his greatest gain this time: his second martial soul.

His second martial soul is no longer the Water and Fire Dragon King martial soul, but a four-elemental dragon martial soul of water, fire, time and space. If it had to be classified as a type of dragon, it would be more like a silver dragon.

Compared to the Silver Dragon's control over nine elements, his martial soul, although only able to control four elements, possesses a control over each element far exceeding that of the Silver Dragon.

If one day he were to be able to control all nine elements, he would definitely run up to Gu Yuena and say, "Gu Yuena, I am the Silver Dragon King." Gu Yuena's expression would surely be quite something.

"Finally finished absorbing it. We're completely bound to you now. It's exhausting," Gu Xuanying said wearily.

"You're nothing but a fool who reaps the benefits without sowing. Among us, you're the one who has it the easiest," Gu Qingming's indifferent voice, tinged with a hint of disdain, rang out.

With a gentle smile on his face, Huo Yuhao sighed, "Yes, we'll be partners from now on."

Gu Qingming said in a clear voice, "It's good that you succeeded. To be honest, there was an element of luck involved in this success. Fortunately, your willpower withstood that pain. Moreover, even I have to marvel at what you've gained this time. Not only has your martial soul acquired the four attributes of water, fire, time, and space, but if you can find dragon souls of other attributes in the future, your martial soul could even evolve into an all-elemental dragon martial soul."

"Besides the usual elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, time, space, light, darkness, wind, and thunder, you can even fuse elements like life, destruction, and holiness."

"Can it still evolve?" Huo Yuhao frowned in thought, then shook his head. "Where am I supposed to find so many dragon souls? Finding my two older sisters is already a stroke of luck. Whether it can evolve in the future, we'll just have to leave it to fate."

Gu Qingming also sighed softly, "That's true. Our dragon race has withered to this point. If your martial soul wants to evolve in the future, you can only rely on luck."

As he spoke, Gu Qingming revealed a thoughtful expression, "In the grand scheme of things, fate will arrange things. Perhaps, encountering other dragon souls is not impossible. Maybe, I will even be able to see some old friends and my brothers then."

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed as he murmured, "Fate?"

As the chosen one of the Douluo Continent II world, perhaps the will of the Douluo Star plane will really send him a dragon soul.

Gu Xuanying then said with dissatisfaction, "Don't listen to Gu Qingming's nonsense. Fate is a mysterious thing, and no one has ever controlled it. There has never been a God of Fate in the Dragon God Realm. If one does appear in the future, he will at least be a God-King."

"As for Gu Qingming, she's just putting on airs because she sees your strong aura." Gu Xuanying's face showed contempt as she glanced at Gu Qingming. "The aura of your destiny is far too strong, two or three times stronger than the strongest destiny child we've ever seen."

"However, don't expect the power of destiny to bring you any great benefits. As the chosen one of Douluo Star, your opportunities don't depend on what you want, but on what Douluo Star has."

"So you should first consolidate your existing abilities and not be too ambitious. The conflict between me and this woman, as well as your mysterious spacetime, is enough for you to study up to the God-King level."

Gu Qingming glanced calmly at Gu Xuanying, his expression serene, showing no sign of anger. "She's right. Your improvement this time is too great. Even I only have a vague understanding of the mysteries of your new martial soul. But your new martial soul is definitely not that simple. You do need to explore and study it carefully, and practice your various abilities as well. You must remember that the strength that can be converted into combat power is your true strength."

"I've learned a lot." Huo Yuhao humbly accepted the advice of the two god-kings.

"Let's go up there. It seems there's a human looking for you up there. They've been looking all night," Gu Qingming reminded him.

Huo Yuhao was suddenly startled, remembering his promise to Dugu Bo.

He felt quite guilty, because his trip had completely destroyed the roots of his medicinal herb garden, rendering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well useless.

Seemingly seeing through Huo Yuhao's guilt, Gu Qingming said, "Don't worry, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well won't be ruined. How could the divine power and origin of us two God-Kings be completely absorbed by a mere Soul Master like you?"

"And haven't you noticed yet that the soul bones of us two God-Kings are a bit weak?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao indeed felt that his improvement was not worthy of the effects of the two God-King level soul bones.

Gu Qingming said, "In order for you to safely absorb the soul bone, we extracted most of its power. Later, when your strength increases, you can come back to absorb the ice and fire energy left here to strengthen the soul bone. At the same time, this treasure land formed by accident will not disappear."

"In addition, there are two natal soul rings that you have condensed. Actually, they only appear to be golden in color. You will still need to come here to absorb ice and fire energy to strengthen them in the future."

Huo Yuhao's eye twitched involuntarily. So what he got was just an empty shell? Then why was his improvement still so significant?

Huo Yuhao asked, "So, how many years do the current spirit rings and spirit bones have?"

Could it only be a few tens of thousands of years?

Gu Qingming said calmly, "Not many, probably only about 500,000 years."

Huo Yuhao gave a thumbs up, "As expected of a God King, his lifespan is at least 500,000 years."

Chapter 146 Methods for Solving the Dugu Bo Problem

Huo Yuhao swam back to the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well at lightning speed, only his head showing as he looked at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo stared at the surface of the Ice and Fire Spring with a changing expression when a head suddenly popped up on it, startling him.

After recognizing Huo Yuhao, he asked in a low voice with a livid face, "How did you get into this spring?"

Even a titled Douluo wouldn't dare to easily venture into this spring, yet Huo Yuhao swam right in it?

"Of course I jumped in." Huo Yuhao answered irrelevantly and quickly changed the subject, "Senior Dugu, I've thought of three ways to treat you."

Huo Yuhao's words successfully attracted Dugu Bo's attention. His dark green eyes gleamed with excitement. "Kid, tell me your method. We agreed that yesterday was your deadline, but you were a whole night late."

Huo Yuhao said cheerfully, "As long as I can really help you get rid of the poison in your body, I'm sure you won't blame me for being a little late."

Dugu Bo's expression hardened again. He said, "You're right, but only if you can really help me get rid of the poison in my body. Tell me your method."

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Please excuse me for a moment, senior, and I will explain everything to you in detail after I have dressed."

Dugu Bo was taken aback, then gave a disdainful snort, turned around and walked away, leaving only a urging sentence, "Hurry up and get dressed."

While Dugu Bo was at a distance, Huo Yuhao quickly dressed, and at the same time, he communicated with the Water and Fire Dragon Kings in his mind, asking them for suggestions and refining his proposed plan.

A short while later, Dugu Bo returned, and Huo Yuhao had already finished communicating with the Water and Fire Dragon King.

Dugu Bo stared intently at Huo Yuhao and urged, "Tell me quickly, what's your way of getting rid of the poison in my body?"

Huo Yuhao calmly said, "Before revealing the method, I would like to ask you a few questions. Have you ever considered that there are many martial souls in the world that contain toxins, and there are even more beast martial souls with poison attributes, so why is it that your Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor would poison itself?"

Dugu Bo had certainly thought about this question, but he had not found the answer.

Could the young man before him provide the answer?

He looked at Huo Yuhao curiously and asked, "Why?"

"Of course it's because your martial soul has a flaw," Huo Yuhao said confidently.

Dugu Bo suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh devoid of any warmth. After finally stopping, he said in an icy tone, "Boy, do you think my martial soul, that of a Title Douluo, would have any flaws?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "The reason you've lived this long is probably because of this treasure land, right? Without this treasure land, a Title Douluo like you would have been poisoned to death by your own poison. Are you really sure your martial soul has no flaws?"

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "Then tell me, what are the flaws in my martial spirit?"

Huo Yuhao said, "This is related to the second question I want to ask today."

"Senior, do you know why venomous snakes don't die from their own venom?"

Dugu Bo was bewildered; clearly, he had never considered this question before.

But he seemed to have grasped something, staring intently at Huo Yuhao, and demanded, "Tell me quickly, why?"

Huo Yuhao said, "Actually, many venomous snakes can also die from their own venom, but only if they inject their venom into their wounds to commit suicide."

Dugu Bo said coldly, "Are you playing me?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, "Of course I didn't play tricks on you, senior. I also stated the premise. Didn't you notice that this situation is very similar to your own? Your poison has spread throughout your body, hasn't it?"

Dugu Bo remained silent, while Huo Yuhao spoke eloquently, "Normal venomous snakes do not have venom in their blood or bodies. They store their venom in their venom sacs and use it when needed. Secondly, their gallbladders secrete substances that detoxify their venom, which can help them neutralize their own venom, allowing them to safely consume food containing their own deadly poison."

Dugu Bo asked doubtfully, "You mean, the flaw in my martial soul is that I don't have a poison sac to store my martial soul, and I can't detoxify myself?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"Then tell me how I should fix the flaws in my martial soul?" Dugu Bo seemed to agree with what Huo Yuhao had said.

Huo Yuhao said, "If there are no poison sacs, we will artificially create them."

"My first solution is to find a high-quality soul bone to use as a storage place for the toxins."

Huo Yuhao still proposed the same approach as Tang San in the original novel, but he would explain the pros and cons, and the choice would be up to Dugu Bo himself.

A glint of green light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. "You mean, you want me to force the toxins in my body into my soul bone so that they won't harm me?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "That's right, but the drawbacks of this method are also obvious."

"There are drawbacks to this?" Dugu Bo frowned. In his opinion, this plan was already perfect. How could there be any drawbacks?

"Of course, nothing is perfect, and no one is completely innocent. It's only natural that there are flaws. The key is how you choose, senior." Huo Yuhao said meaningfully.

"What are the drawbacks?" Dugu Bo asked.

"There's a limit to how much toxin a soul bone can store. Once it reaches its limit, there's a 'pop' sound, and the person and bones both perish. Moreover, even if someone possesses a high-quality soul bone, once that person has stored toxins, no one else can use it. But where are there so many high-quality soul bones for our families to pass down through generations?" Huo Yuhao explained.

A flicker of fear crossed Dugu Bo's eyes. If he had chosen this path, even if he himself would have been unharmed, he would still have harmed Yan Yan.

"Didn't you say there were three methods? What about the other two?"

Huo Yuhao said, "The second method I mentioned is the Soul Core Method."

"Soul Core?" Dugu Bo looked puzzled, waiting for Huo Yuhao to explain.

"The soul core is the core of soul power. It is used to store soul power, and naturally it can also be used to store toxins. As long as you condense a poison attribute soul core, that will suffice."

"When a Soul Master condenses his first Soul Core, he can become a Title Douluo without any obstacles, and when he can condense his second Soul Core, he can become a Limit Douluo."

"In addition, the soul core also has the effects of accelerating the recovery of soul power and accelerating cultivation."

This time, Dugu Bo was no longer in a hurry and asked, "Then what are its drawbacks?"

Huo Yuhao said, "The drawback is that a Soul Master must reach at least the Soul Saint level before they can attempt to condense their first Soul Core. Your granddaughter probably can't use this method."

Dugu Bo ruled out this method, but still noted it down.

Huo Yuhao also said that Yan Yan couldn't use it, but he could. As for Yan Yan, perhaps the first method could be used first, and the second method could be used after she reaches the Soul Saint level.
