Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

"So it's His Majesty the Poison Douluo visiting so late at night. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Young Master Ling Feng is joking. It's just... what did you mean by what you said at the banquet earlier about my martial spirit being poisoned?"

Dugu Bo was still quite polite in his speech, after all, no matter how unruly he was, he was in the wrong now.

Moreover, this is not a place where he can run wild, as long as he dares to reveal even the slightest fluctuation of his soul power.

I reckon even without the old man from the Hall of Offerings making a move, that genius junior, Qian Gu Xiao Ye, would fight me to the death with his Panlong Staff.

If I fight with all my might, I might not be able to beat him.

After all, Qian Gu Xiao Ye had made a name for himself on the continent when he was young, but he stopped traveling around the continent after getting married.

"To be honest, I have indeed sensed some changes in my martial soul. I wonder if Young Master Ling Feng could point them out?"

Lonely Bo still didn't have the nerve to admit that he had been poisoned for many years.

"Senior Dugu, you're not being honest!"

"My martial spirit tells me that you have been poisoned for at least 50 years."

"Moreover, this toxin is present in conjunction with the innate awakening of a martial soul. Perhaps your son and your granddaughter also have this toxin, and they were born with it from the womb."

"Then, if I may venture another guess, is it because your wife passed away a long time ago, and your statement earlier that your son and daughter-in-law both died, is that related to this?"

"Does your granddaughter also exhibit any unusual changes, such as abnormal pupil or hair color?"

Generally speaking, children on the Douluo Continent do not experience significant changes in their pupils and hair color before they awaken their soul power.

Even some less powerful martial souls, as long as they don't possess a body, are no different from ordinary people.

Those who are born with other eye or hair colors, such as Qian Renxue's golden hair and golden eyes, and Jin Chen's golden hair, are all due to their martial souls being too powerful.

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically; the knowledge of this junior far exceeded his expectations.

No one on the mainland knew about his wife's death, not even his closest friends of many years.

After all, his wife had already passed away before Dugu Bo had made a name for himself in the world of Soul Masters.

Dugu Bo sighed deeply, knowing full well that he had failed here today.

"Young Master Ling Feng, please don't keep me in suspense."

"As long as you have a way to cure the toxins in my and Yan Yan's martial souls, I will certainly not let you down."

Although Dugu Bo did not bow his head, indicating that he would directly join the Spirit Hall, it was clear that he already meant it.

"Congratulations, Senior Dugu, you have made a wise choice."

"Grandpa, Second Grandpa, you two heard it too, so go back and rest. You're getting on in years, you should get more rest."

Ling Feng said something to a corner not far away, and immediately two middle-aged men who looked almost identical came out.

It was none other than Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo.

How could a mere newly promoted Title Douluo satisfy the divine senses of the two of them?

"Yes, Xiaofeng is getting better and better."

Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo ignored Dugu Bo and left on their own.

Dugu Bo stood there, his forehead already beaded with cold sweat.

He made the right bet.

If he had dared to show even the slightest dissatisfaction or killing intent just now, these two senior figures who have been famous in the world of soul masters for a long time would probably have killed him on the spot.

"Senior Dugu, please have a seat."

Ling Feng patted the grass next to him, gesturing for Dugu Bo to sit down.

As Dugu Bo approached, he discovered that the young man did not possess the arrogance and conceit typical of scions of powerful families; instead, he displayed an unusual calmness and composure.

"What's wrong? Are you pondering how I could know about the flaws in your martial soul?"

"Young Master Ling Feng, your martial spirit must be more than just the Panlong Staff, right?"

Dugu Bo countered with a question.

"Indeed, but of course I won't tell you now, since we're not that close yet."

"Let's talk about how you're going to get rid of the toxins first?"

"It's not difficult to detoxify your martial spirit. There are two methods. One is to dissipate the poison throughout your body, but that's definitely not the option."

"The second method is to mobilize the toxins that have penetrated deep into the bone marrow of the body to a carrier, such as a piece of soul bone in a certain part of the body."

"Of course, your toxins have been deep in your bone marrow for decades, and removing them would be extremely difficult. It would require various diluted and rare medicinal materials as a catalyst, with my blood as the primary medium."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow.

"No doubt about it, my martial soul quality far surpasses that of the Azure Serpent King, so this method is still feasible."

"Of course, I would recommend that you and your granddaughter use the third method, which is the safest method and can raise your strength by one level in a short period of time. Of course, the price to pay is also extremely high."

"That is to use special methods to change the Azure Serpent King's own inheritance, such as evolving it into a stronger martial soul inheritance, so that it is no longer affected by the toxins."

"However, there are very few things that can cause a martial soul to mutate, such as a soul bone, a soul ring that is extremely compatible with one's own martial soul, or certain rare medicinal herbs."

Ling Feng's words were full of probing, hoping that Dugu Bo would take the initiative to speak.

"Cherish medicinal herbs? To be honest, I have recently found a treasure trove of auspicious herbs, but most of the herbs here look very strange, and I don't know how to use them."

"Oh? Perhaps there really is such a possibility."

As Ling Feng spoke, Dugu Bo was about to ask a question.

"This matter cannot be rushed. After all, your granddaughter is only 3 years old. We should wait at least three years until her martial spirit awakens before making any further plans."

"By the way, I'm currently at a bottleneck in my cultivation. I should be able to go out and gain some experience. Perhaps I could visit that auspicious place."

Dugu Bo knew he was being too hasty, so he agreed to Ling Feng's request.

He was also amazed; Ling Feng was most likely a genius with innate full soul power.

……

The next morning, Dugu Bo visited Qian Gu Xiao Ye with gifts. Ling Feng also expressed his request to go out and gain experience while Dugu Bo was present.

The result was that as long as Ling Feng could break through one more level in soul power, he could leave.

If Ling Feng breaks through another level, he will reach level 30 and obtain his third soul ring. Logically speaking, going out to hunt soul beasts can also be considered as going out for travel.

Dugu Bo, however, only saw it as a breakthrough to the bottleneck of level 13 or 14.

After all, even if a newly awakened child absorbs a soul ring with the maximum lifespan while in a state of innate full soul power, his level should be around this level.

"Alright."

Ling Feng agreed.

Dugu Bo did not stay at the Spirit Hall for more than a few days; instead, he quickly left.

Of course, the higher-ups at the Spirit Hall were well aware of this. Dugu Bo's explanation was that he was worried his granddaughter would be too bored at her friend's house, so he planned to bring her to the Spirit Hall to broaden her horizons.

In the eyes of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups, this was clearly tacit approval of joining the Spirit Hall.

Two weeks later...

While Ling Feng and the others were cultivating, Dugu Bo arrived with a little girl with dark green hair and dark green eyes.
