Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Dragon Abyss Sword, has become its scabbard.

Chapter 37 Coincidence

The noble factions in Douluo Continent are complex and intertwined. There are many nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire, but not many of them are strong enough to reach the level of Soul Saint.

The Heaven Dou royal family's inherited martial soul is the swan, which doesn't possess any particularly powerful abilities. In order to consolidate their rule, they have been actively recruiting soul masters to join them, offering them the opportunity to become nobles simply by becoming a Soul Master.

This has resulted in a large number of nobles within the Heaven Dou Empire, but the strength of these Soul Masters who joined the Heaven Dou Empire is not strong, and the strength of the imperial family has not improved, but has continued to decline in recent years.

Several powerful nobles seized the opportunity to grow stronger, relying on their powerful martial spirits and the enfeoffment granted by the Heaven Dou Empire to establish several kingdoms, controlling four of the ten provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire. One of these duchies, second only to the kingdoms, also controlled the smallest province in the easternmost part of the Heaven Dou Empire, which is where Ding Quan is now.

On the surface, these kingdoms and duchies are all territories of the Heavenly Dou Empire, but in reality, these countries are almost not under the rule of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Apart from paying tribute to the Heavenly Dou Empire, they are completely in control of everything.

This greatly weakened the rule of the Heaven Dou Empire. If it weren't for the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, and the external threat of the Star Luo Empire, war might have broken out long ago.

Count Falling Snow is one of the nobles in this easternmost duchy. Although he is only a count, his strength as a Soul Saint makes him a powerful figure in the duchy.

The Snowfall Mountains are not far from the city of Water; in fact, it could be said that the Snowfall Mountains are the watershed between this duchy and another kingdom.

That young city lord was indeed one of Earl Luo Xue's men, which is why he needed to send gifts to Earl Luo Xue. In fact, according to Ding Quan's understanding, it would be more appropriate to call it offering tribute.

And now, this Soul King of the Bilge Advanced Soul Master Academy is also Earl Luo Xue's man. However, with a Soul Saint backing him up, he can indeed act arrogantly in the far east of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Soul Saints are powerful beings no matter where they are. In this city of Water, Ding Quan has never heard of any Soul Douluo-level existence. The strongest person is a high-level Soul Saint.

Nighttime, in a nice hotel room.

The door opened, and the captain of the Bilge team smiled when he saw who had entered.

"Uncle? You're here."

"Don't cause trouble lately. This isn't Snowfall City." The Soul King's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still looked at the captain in front of him with a slightly calm demeanor.

"stir up trouble?"

"Weren't those people the ones you provoked first? Their identities might be unusual. This place is not like Snowfall City; we might get into trouble here."

"I didn't expect the opponent to be so strong, and they're not even that old." The captain was also a little angry, but upon hearing this, he still looked at the teacher in front of him with some concern.

Those people looked quite young, while he was a genius student at an advanced soul master academy, with very few peers around him who were stronger than him.

However, they did not expect that the three people were so powerful. The soul power they unleashed was even more suppressive than their teacher.

"Their identities are unknown, and you should know that things have been a bit unsettled lately, otherwise I wouldn't have been the one to bring you to Water City." The Soul King's tone was somewhat grave.

"Uncle, you mean my uncle from two months ago?"

"That's right, it's good that you know. He was also a Soul King, but he died without any warning. I don't know if he offended someone. I don't want you to die mysteriously as well."

"Uncle, do you think those guys from earlier might be capable?" The captain looked at his uncle nervously.

"That's possible, but it doesn't seem so now. I can't really judge the strength of those people. If they really had a powerful background, they probably wouldn't have let us leave so easily back then." The Soul King glanced at his junior and sighed inwardly.

"Uncle, you're right. Twins with blond and silver hair are quite rare, which is why we talked for a bit longer."

"Speaking of which, I did hear from my deceased cousin that he seemed to have raised a pair of twins like that a few years ago, but they disappeared without a trace, and many of his people also died."

"Uncle, could it be one of these two?"

"What are you thinking? What's their strength? And I heard there's something strange about one of them. It can't be them."

"That's true."

"You also need to be careful. Those few people probably know that we are Earl Fallen Snow's men, and they are wary of us, which is why they haven't attacked us. That's why we were able to leave. We need to stay here for a long time. You and your teammates should behave yourselves in Water City during this time."

"Uncle, I understand."

Ding Quan stood on the balcony of the hotel and, after hearing the door close, also decided to leave.

Unexpectedly, this Soul King really did have some connection with the previous city lord, and they were even brothers.

It appears that both the Soul King and the team captain are from Earl Fallen Snow's family.

A powerful Soul Master can quickly build a powerful family. The title of Earl of Falling Snow has been passed down for who knows how long, and the number of members must be considerable.

The Soul King was surprised to see that Ling Wei and the other person's strange reaction was because his deceased brother had talked to him before, and it seemed that the two had a good relationship. This was good news, at least Ling Wei and the other person had something that attracted each other.

The Soul King is indeed a key member of the family, so they must meet often, and that small town is not far from Snowfall City.

Ding Quan glanced at the hotel, then turned and left.

It seems that the strength of the group at that time intimidated the Soul King, which indeed saved them some trouble.

Should we take action against him?

That would attract too much attention from the other party, especially since you just had a conflict with them.

"How is Quan?"

"This person is indeed related to the Soul King we killed. He comes from a family and is a member of Earl Falling Snow's faction," Ding Quan said to the two men upon returning to their residence.

"Is it dangerous for us to be here now?" Ling asked Ding Quan. If it were anywhere else, they could leave immediately if there was danger, but Water City and Coastal City are not far apart.

"It's not too dangerous." Ding Quan and his group had only been here for a month or so, and they had been spending most of their time in the Great Soul Arena. The people in the Great Soul Arena only had code names.

"However, it is ultimately a hidden danger."

"Then let's use your second soul skill again, Ling. Just simulate a powerful background for us so they won't dare to investigate."

"You mean..." Ling understood Ding Quan's meaning.

……

Sunset Forest.

At the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Dugu Bo felt the toxins in his body lessen and smiled.

It wasn't for nothing that I searched for many snake-like spirit beasts in Sunset Forest during this time; at least I managed to obtain a spirit bone.

This soul bone isn't very old, less than 20,000 years old, and its quality isn't very good either; it's a left arm soul bone.

After absorbing this soul bone and injecting some of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom into it, his body did feel much lighter.

However, as the letter stated, there is a limit to storing toxins with soul bones. Looking at my left arm, which is noticeably darker than my right arm, this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

It spat out the poison pill it had condensed when it became a Title Douluo, and its color became even greener.

The reason I was able to condense this poison pill was because I ate a herb near the Ice and Fire Spring, and it formed itself when I broke through to the Title Douluo level.

Dugu Bo had reviewed the information and found that only after he became a Title Douluo did such a thing appear in his body.

After the toxins in my body were reduced, I felt much lighter and more energetic.

Feeling the changes in his body, Dugu Bo couldn't help but want to burst into laughter.

Soul power is increasing!

Perhaps his soul power could break through. Since breaking through to the Title Douluo level, he had never felt this way before. On the contrary, the toxins in his body were getting worse and worse, and he needed to use his soul power to suppress them.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of soul energy flashed by from not far away.

Hmm~?

Dugu Bo, who was in the midst of his excitement, put away his smile and then looked at one side with a serious expression.

This soul power?

The latest novel is first published here!

Tang Hao!

Dugu Bo was puzzled as to what he was doing here.

Although many people know that he often lives in Sunset Forest, they have difficulty finding his exact location, and Dugu Bo is aware of his reputation, which is not good on the continent.

Even though he was only level 91 and not very strong among the titled Douluo, his ability to protect himself was not weak. Even titled Douluo could not ignore the poison in his body, let alone other Soul Masters.

This is also why he had some conflicts with Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and his relationship with the Spirit Hall was not good, but the other party did not cause him much trouble.

Sensing Tang Hao's soul power, the other party did not enter his poison barrier.

After a moment's hesitation, Dugu Bo put the poison pill into his body and then flew over directly.

It really was Tang Hao!

When Dugu Bo arrived at the poison barrier, he saw Tang Hao, who was dressed in a black robe, but he did not approach him.

Tang Hao was also stunned when he saw Dugu Bo in front of him. Dugu Bo's hair color was much lighter than when they met some time ago, and his strength seemed to have improved.

Did Dugu Bo absorb a soul bone? Does Tang Hao know that Dugu Bo has been slaughtering soul beasts in Sunset Forest recently?

"I wonder what business Haotian Douluo has with me?" Dugu Bo felt a pressure under Tang Hao's gaze. Haotian Douluo's reputation was indeed well-deserved, far beyond what he could contend with.

"I need your help with something." Tang Hao took off his straw hat, revealing an extremely haggard face.

"You?" Dugu Bo was startled when he heard that he needed help.

However, upon seeing Tang Hao's face now, his expression hardened.

Is this what Haotian Douluo looks like now? His face is haggard, his eyes are cloudy, and he looks like a beggar. If it weren't for the powerful soul force emanating from him, even I probably wouldn't believe that the person in front of me is Tang Hao.

"You have injuries, extremely serious injuries." Dugu Bo himself had some knowledge of pharmacology, after all, he could concoct various poisons and antidotes. With his medical skills, he understood what was going on when he saw Tang Hao's condition.

"Now that you've figured it out, is there any way to heal it?" Tang Hao understood just how deep his injuries were, and he was currently suppressing them entirely with his overwhelming strength.

There is indeed a way to get rid of the injury, which is to force the injury to the hands and feet, and then sever the hands and feet.

However, doing so would permanently reduce his strength by twenty levels. Tang San has not yet grown up and still needs his current strength.

"Forgive my bluntness, but you should be aware of your injuries. I specialize in poisons, and I am powerless to help you with such an injury." Dugu Bo shook his head, but Tang Hao still possessed such strength despite such severe injuries.

"Is there really no way at all?"

"I can't do it, but..."

"But what?" Tang Hao asked, looking at Dugu Bo deep in thought.

"Perhaps there is someone who can heal your injuries."

"Who?" Tang Hao's face lit up with a hint of joy.

"I don't know his exact identity, but he should have stayed in Soto City." Dugu Bo was naturally referring to the person who left him that letter.

A person who can see through the poison of the martial spirit in Dugu Yan's body at a glance and has a way to detoxify her must have superb medical skills.

Moreover, they knew that he had a poison pill on him, something he had never told anyone else, and the other party knew it too.

"Soto City?" Tang Hao looked at Dugu Bo. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be faking it. Moreover, Dugu Bo had indeed been to Soto City before, which Tang Hao had witnessed.

"Unfortunately, I don't have his contact information." Dugu Bo still had some questions to ask. Although his poison pill had the effects described in the letter, he was currently unable to do what the letter described, to completely condense his poison-attribute soul power onto the poison pill.

"Can't get in touch!" Tang Hao's joy vanished, his mood worsened, and he coldly stared at Dugu Bo.

"Although I cannot heal your injuries, I have some medicinal herbs on me that should be able to help alleviate them," Dugu Bo said, looking at Tang Hao's somewhat dangerous gaze.

"Thank you very much."

"Then I'll go get it." Dugu Bo felt relieved when he saw Tang Hao's expression had recovered, and then got up and went into his herb garden.

A moment later, Dugu Bo flew out with several Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms and then handed them to Tang Hao using his soul power.

"Not bad! Consider it a favor I owe you." Tang Hao's eyes lit up as he felt the medicinal power and spiritual energy contained in the Ganoderma lucidum. It was indeed effective. He hadn't expected Dugu Bo to have a Ganoderma lucidum of such age.

"No problem!"

Dugu Bo's expression darkened after watching Tang Hao leave, but even though Tang Hao was seriously injured, he was still someone he couldn't contend with.

Such severe injuries suggest that even when Tang Hao seriously injured the former Pope of the Spirit Hall more than ten years ago, he himself was not in good condition. However, this is understandable, as Tang Hao, even as a genius, was only a newly appointed Title Douluo at the time.

It's impossible to defeat a Super Douluo and still be unharmed. The Super Douluo's power is no joke. One of his old rivals, at level 95, had already left him almost helpless.

I don't know if it was right or wrong to give these few Ganoderma lucidum to Tang Hao. After all, these Ganoderma lucidum can't cure his injuries. There will eventually be a time when he can't suppress them anymore. When the injuries erupt, the consequences will be even more serious.
