The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 41 The Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Pouch

Xia Liang glanced at Dugu Yan but didn't say anything. He walked past Dugu Yan and headed towards the entrance of the Great Soul Arena.

"Stop!" Dugu Yan ran up to Xia Liang again, this time with a determined look in her eyes. "Let's have another cross-level battle. I challenge you."

Xia Liang calmly replied, "How can a Soul Venerable challenge a Great Soul Master who is far above their level?"

"Then you challenge me," Dugu Yan changed her mind.

Xia Liang shook his head. "No."

"You!" Dugu Yan suppressed her resentment with all her might, gritting her teeth before speaking in a gentle tone, "In that battle against a higher-level opponent, I didn't even use any soul skills. Do you think you won with honor?"

Xia Liang did not answer the question directly. He walked around Dugu Yan, who was blocking his way, and headed towards the entrance of the Great Soul Arena.

"Just tell me what you want as the stake. Gold Soul Coins, cultivation resources, or something else? As long as you agree to fight me one more time, I can give you whatever you want."

Xia Liang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Dugu Yan, asking, "Do you have any soul bones that you haven't absorbed yet?"

Dugu Yan shook her head. "No."

"Do you have a recovery-type soul tool?"

"no."

"A soul tool that can store living beings?"

"No, not at all."

"You have nothing, yet you say you can satisfy me?" Xia Liang said accusingly, then turned and left.

"Wait. I have a soul tool that can store living beings. However, I'm not wearing it right now."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan couldn't help but recall the brocade pouch soul tool that her grandfather had given her two months ago.

Soul tools cannot be reused. Since I already have a ring soul tool for storing items, it would be cumbersome to carry another brocade pouch soul tool on my body during battle, so I simply discarded the brocade pouch soul tool at the time.

Hearing the phrase "can store living things," Dugu Yan suddenly remembered that the brocade soul guide was called the Ruyi Baibao Nang, which her grandfather had given her to store poisonous creatures like snakes and scorpions. It must also be able to store other living things.

With this bargaining chip, Dugu Yan felt more confident. Arms crossed, she said mischievously, "My soul-guided pouch that can store living creatures is exquisitely crafted. Its storage capacity is enormous. I'm afraid it's the only one of its kind on the entire continent. Master Xia, if you're willing to have another soul-guided duel with me, I don't mind using it as a wager. How about it? Want to consider it?"

Xia Liang smiled, "I'm not considering it anymore. Let's play another round."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was somewhat taken aback.

"However, I have to work in the academy kitchen during the day, so I'll only be free at night. You can sign up for the cross-level spirit battle tomorrow night, and I'll challenge you like I did today. When you fight others tomorrow, remember to save some spirit power, so you don't make excuses when you lose."

As he uttered the last word, Xia Liang had already walked out of the entrance to the Great Soul Arena.

"You're the one who lost!" Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue at the entrance of the Great Soul Arena.

The thought of wiping away her humiliation tomorrow suddenly made her eyes turn fierce.

To be defeated in front of everyone by a second-ring Soul Master, especially when one is too arrogant to use Soul Skills, how can one be content without washing away this humiliation?

Dugu Yan and Xia Liang's conversation was overheard by Yu Tianheng and the other members of the Royal Fighting Team who were walking over.

"Yanyan, are you alright?" Yu Tianheng asked with concern.

Dugu Yan smiled and shook her head. "What could possibly be wrong with me? I didn't use any soul skills in that battle against a higher-level opponent. My defeat was just a fluke, not because I was inferior. Tomorrow night, I'll make sure this Master Xia can't get out of bed or even leave the kitchen. Trying to trick me out of my living soul tool? Dream on!"

night.

Tian Dou City, Dugu Mansion.

The main hall inside the building.

As soon as she got home, Dugu Yan reached out her hand to Dugu Bo, who was lying in the rocking chair, "Grandpa, give me the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch."

Dugu Bo was about to say that Yanyan was back when he was suddenly interrupted by an outstretched hand. The hand asked curiously, "Didn't you complain that it was cumbersome to wear when I gave it to you before? Why do you want it again today?"

"I'll take it if I like it, and I won't take it if I don't. Is that not allowed?" Dugu Yan retorted.

"Okay, okay. As long as my Yanyan is happy."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo pulled out a blue brocade pouch from somewhere and placed it in Dugu Yan's hand.

The brocade pouch was only the size of a palm, the kind that hangs on the belt. Although it was much larger than a sachet, it was still only big enough to fit one hand.

Dugu Yan examined the blue brocade pouch in her hands and asked for confirmation, "Grandpa, this Ruyi Baibao Pouch can hold living creatures, right?"

"Of course. This is a treasure that Grandpa finally obtained. Its effect on storing living things is much better than Grandpa's current Qingnang Soul Tool. If the Qingnang Soul Tool hadn't been a gift from your grandma, I would have replaced it with this Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch long ago."

Listening to her grandfather's story, a gentle light appeared in Dugu Yan's eyes. She had never met her grandmother, but for her grandfather, who was a master of drugs, to love her so deeply, her grandmother must have possessed great charm.

Dugu Bo stood up from the rocking chair and asked curiously, "Yanyan, why did you suddenly want this Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch?"

"I'm the granddaughter of Poison Douluo. Isn't it normal for me to want a living soul tool to cultivate venomous scorpions and snakes?"

As she spoke, Dugu Yan hung the Ruyi Treasure Pouch on her waist, pretending to be very satisfied.

"Do you think your grandfather doesn't know your personality?" Dugu Bo shook his head. "Yanyan, you've never been interested in poisons since you were little. You also don't like wearing too many ornaments. Tell me, what exactly do you want the Ruyi Baibao Pouch for?"

Dugu Yan knew that her grandfather was cautious and meticulous, but she never imagined he was this meticulous. Seeing that she could no longer hide it, she had no choice but to tell him the truth.

"Today I fought a battle against someone of a higher level in the Great Soul Arena. I was eliminated before I even had a chance to use my soul skills. I was not satisfied, so I challenged him to another battle against someone of a higher level tomorrow night. He said he wanted a soul bone as a wager, but I didn't have one, so I decided to use this Ruyi Treasure Pouch as the wager."

After hearing this explanation, Dugu Bo's gaze towards Dugu Yan changed slightly. "Yan Yan, you actually want to challenge a Soul Fighter of a higher level?"

"Actually, it wasn't my personal idea. Tianheng and I challenging higher-level spirits in the Great Spirit Arena was all arranged by Teacher Qin."

Dugu Yan explained, "Teacher Qin said that fighting opponents of higher levels best demonstrates the meaning of a monster student. All seven members of our Royal Fighting Team possess exceptional talent and strength, and we should fight against those stronger than ourselves. Only in this way can we become monster soul masters who surpass even genius soul masters."

"Then why were you eliminated in today's battle against a higher-level opponent before you could even use your soul skills?"

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his voice carrying a hint of accusation, "Yanyan, you should know that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's venomous mist is a wide-area crowd control ability. Unless you're careless, there's no way you won't have a chance to injure the enemy. If I'm not mistaken, it must be your arrogance and underestimation of them that led to the defeat. Isn't that right?"

"Yes. That's why I'm going to challenge him again." A sinister glint flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes. "Tomorrow's cross-level battle will be a full-fledged contest. I'll let him taste the agony of being tormented by the venom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo should be this insidious and ruthless. Yan Yan, Grandpa can tell you definitively that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul does indeed have the ability to fight beyond one's level. As long as you go all out and make good use of your poison control abilities, defeating a Soul Master beyond your level is not difficult."

Defeating a Soul Master who is significantly stronger than him?

Dugu Yan hesitated, knowing that her grandfather had misunderstood her.

But we can't spoil Grandpa's fun by saying that we want to take the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch because we want to challenge a Great Soul Master, can we?
