Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 278: The Story Between Zhong Li and Dugu Bo

"Old Poisoner, your granddaughter's martial soul has evolved, so yours can't be too bad, can it?"

Chen Xin suddenly spoke, addressing Dugu Bo who was not far away.

He used to be able to see through Dugu Bo's cultivation level, but lately, he has become increasingly unable to see through it.

This old poisoner must have some kind of opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo put down his teacup without changing his expression. Having dealt with Zhongli for a long time, he also enjoyed drinking tea.

"It is thanks to the grace of His Majesty the God of War that my granddaughter and I are where we are today."

"???"

Everyone was stunned, somewhat bewildered.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the first person in the entire Tiandou City to come into contact with Zhongli was indeed this old poisoner!

Zhongli had just arrived in Tiandou City when this person gave him a house; who knows if they had any other deals.

They hadn't really connected these things together, but Dugu Bo's words today cleared up their doubts.

So that's how it is.

"Old Master Dugu is joking. I was merely going with the flow and telling you the uses of what you already had."

Zhong Li waved his hand and said.

That's the absolute truth, and whether others believe it or not is none of his business.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "If it weren't for His Majesty the Martial God, I might already be dead by now."

"Without Your Majesty's guidance, even if I possess great treasures, I would be nothing more than useless flowers and plants."

Dugu Bo was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. He knew perfectly well how much kindness Zhongli had shown him.

When Zhongli first met him, she said he was poisoned.

He could have easily taken the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but he just didn't care for it.

If Dugu Bo hadn't threatened to kill himself, the other party wouldn't have been able to perform a miracle!

Everyone was completely confused by what Zhongli and Dugu Bo were saying.

But they knew one thing: Zhongli was Dugu Bo's savior!

Moreover, judging from Dugu Bo's appearance, he probably wouldn't refuse any of Zhong Li's requests, even if it meant letting him join the Body Sect.

If Dugu Bo joins the Body Sect, then the Body Sect will have three Douluo on the surface!

Thinking about this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Little did they know that the Body Sect had far more than three Douluo, and that was excluding Zhongli, the fake Douluo.

With so much time and development, the Body Sect is no longer what it used to be.

Most of the former elders have also crossed the threshold of becoming Title Douluo.

Of course, their soul power level is basically either level 91 or level 92.

The main reason for being able to increase soul power level so quickly is not "flowers and grass", but the power of faith!

The power of faith is a truly magical force, and it originates from the heart.

This power, whether it enhances strength or aptitude, has absolutely no side effects.

When the power of faith gathers, ignites the divine fire, condenses the divine essence, and the attainment of divinity is a piece of cake.

While the faith power provided by the Body Sect cannot create a god, improving the aptitude and strength of these people is a piece of cake.

For Zhongli, improving these people's aptitude doesn't actually require the power of faith.

As everyone knows, in Douluo Continent, in addition to innate soul power, the degree of unobstructedness of the eight extraordinary meridians is used to assess a person's talent.

If the eight extraordinary meridians are unobstructed, the cultivation speed can be comparable to, or even surpass, that of a fully innate soul power.

Helping someone open up their eight extraordinary meridians was not difficult for Zhongli at all.

The outside world believes that the Body Sect only has two Title Douluos, but that's just their opinion.

Only if a real fight breaks out will people realize just how terrifying the Body Sect's current strength truly is.

Even if Zhongli disappears, the Body Sect will still be the second most powerful force on the Douluo Continent.

On the Douluo Continent, excluding overseas.

The Haotian Sect does not have Tang Chen.

Without Zhongli, the Body Sect still faces the risk of annihilation.

However, if Du Bafang breaks through to level 98 and possesses a second awakening at the gold level, the Body Sect will not be so easy to collapse.

Zhong Li sighed, feeling genuinely ashamed of his gratitude towards Dugu Bo.

The people weren't fools; after some thought, they came to a conclusion.

The rapid development of the Body Sect is likely inseparable from the "flowers and plants" mentioned by Dugu Bo.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, in particular, knew just how terrifying "flowers and grasses" could be.

Because of a flower, Ning Fengzhi's martial soul was able to evolve, and because of this flower, he was able to break through to level 80, with the prospect of being granted a title.

"If these flowers and plants originally belonged to Dugu Bo..."

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's eyes twitched slightly as they thought about this.

Just as Dugu Bo said, without Zhongli, even if they obtained these things, they would be of no use whatsoever.

Who would have nothing better to do than eat flowers and plants!

A moment later, everyone turned their attention back to the arena.

"Yan Yan is probably no match for Tang San, but she won't lose too badly."

Dugu Bo said without changing his expression.

The crowd remained skeptical of Dugu Bo's words.

"One force can overcome all laws. In the face of absolute power, Miss Dugu Yan's soul skills are of no use."

"Of course, Tang San has the support of the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques, and..."

At this point, Zhongli paused. After all, the Tang Sect's affairs were Tang San's secret, and he didn't have the habit of casually revealing other people's secrets, even if Tang San had stolen them.

Tang San's combat power largely comes from the Tang Sect's unique skills. Of course, the Clear Sky Sect's unique skills are also an indispensable part, especially the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

In the early stages, this thing was practically a cheat code.

Later on, there were even more secret techniques such as the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Ring, which were even more terrifying.

Without these, the Clear Sky Hammer would at most be a top-tier martial soul, and the title of the number one weapon martial soul in the world would most likely change hands.

"As expected of His Majesty the God of War, his insight is truly profound."

Dugu Bo flattered him, saying he wasn't worried about Dugu Yan getting hurt; minor injuries were inevitable during the growth process.

"Zhongli, Tang San seems really strange, why is he so powerful?"

Paimon asked in confusion, winking at Zhongli as she put the food back into the box.

The term "powerful" here is relative.

She had witnessed the wind dragon descend, the demon god break free, and Ruo Tuo awaken...

What kind of grand occasions hasn't she seen?

Tang San's actions were merely minor.

But compared to his peers, his abilities are undeniably strong.

Of course, this is also relative.

When facing Xiao Feilian, Du Siji, and others, Tang San ultimately couldn't compete.

But now, Xiao Feilian, Du Siji, and the others don't have a chance to go on stage!

When asked about this, Zhong Li opened his mouth slightly, but hesitated to speak.

How could he possibly know the answer to such a question?

He's clearly a "villain," but he's also a partner of "justice."

It's really hard to explain in a few words.
