Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Azure Phosphorous Serpent, Second Master Dugu Bo

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Dugu Bo was not surprised at all by Dugu Yang's reaction, and said:

"The Soul Hunter Forest is home to a type of soul beast called the 'Tree Poison Toad,' and each Tree Poison Toad carries almost all kinds of deadly poisons."

"Dozens of highly poisonous substances!"

Dugu Yang's eyes lit up; this was far more powerful than the Five-Colored Poisonous Miasma Butterfly.

But then he had some doubts.

"Second Grandfather, the Tree Poison Toad possesses so many deadly poisons, why haven't I found it in the records of Poisonous Soul Beasts?"

Dugu Yang had seen almost all the poisonous soul beasts, but he had never seen a tree poison toad.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo smiled faintly and said, "Because the Tree Poison Toad is not essentially a Poison Soul Beast."

Dugu Yang was taken aback, not knowing what was going on.

Dugu Bo didn't keep them in suspense and smiled:

"Poisonous spirit beasts refer to spirit beasts that are born with deadly poison. The tree poison toad is not born poisonous, but it has a very special ability: a poison-eating sac. It can produce deadly poison by eating other things, and there is no limit to the number of times it can eat them."

"Therefore, an adult poison toad often possesses dozens of highly toxic substances, and almost none of them are the same."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yang was greatly shaken, his dark eyes filled with longing. This was exactly what he wanted.

"Second Grandfather, I'm choosing the Tree Poison Toad as my first spirit ring!"

"I knew you'd say that. Well then, you should focus on your cultivation. I'll take care of the Tree Poison Toad."

Dugu Bo smiled.

"Grandpa, thank you. I will definitely break through to level 10 as soon as possible."

Now that he has a goal, Dugu Yang only needs to work hard.

……

Spring has passed and autumn has come. In the blink of an eye, Dugu Yang has been staying at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye for more than half a year.

Today, he will leave the valley.

It wasn't because he had been in the valley for too long and wanted to go out for a stroll, but because his soul power level had reached level 10 and he was going to obtain his first soul ring.

"Xiaoyang, have you thought it through?"

Dugu Bo led Dugu Yang away from the valley, since Dugu Yang's strength was too weak at the moment, and it was difficult for him to even climb the valley, let alone guard the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus outside.

"I made up my mind six months ago that I must obtain the poison sac of the tree poison toad."

Dugu Yang said firmly.

Compared to six months ago, Dugu Yang's appearance has not changed much, except that he has grown half a head taller.

"Alright, but even if you absorb the Tree Poison Toad's soul ring, you might not necessarily gain the Poison-Eating Sac Soul Skill."

Dugu Bo reminded him again.

Soul beasts possess more than one soul skill, so even if you absorb the same soul beast, you may not necessarily obtain the same soul skill.

Unless it is a soul beast of the 100,000-year level, one can freely choose which soul skills to bestow upon it.

"Understood. But even if I don't get the Poison-Eating Sac Soul Skill this time, I will continue to absorb the Tree Poison Toad's Soul Ring when I reach level 20."

Clearly, Dugu Yang was determined to obtain the "Poison-Eating Pouch".

Seeing this, Dugu Bo stopped trying to persuade him and simply said:

"Then let's hope you're lucky and can acquire the Poison-Eating Pouch Soul Skill this time."

"It definitely will."

Dugu Yang smiled faintly, appearing very confident.

During the six months he lived in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, in addition to the increase in his soul power and knowledge, Dugu Yang also discovered that he possessed a unique ability.

Or rather, a cheat code.

Friendly!

It's not that it's friendly to humans, but rather that it's friendly to intelligent or spiritual beings like immortal herbs and soul beasts.

As everyone knows, most of the immortal herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well are highly poisonous. However, by accident, Dugu Yang accidentally touched an immortal herb that was also highly poisonous. Instead of being poisoned, he sensed the herb's original power and a trace of inexplicable goodwill.

Afterwards, Dugu Yang repeatedly verified and proved that he did indeed possess the "golden finger" of "affinity with all things".

Although he wasn't sure what the specific effects of the cheat were, Dugu Yang had a feeling that it was related to the soul rings.

……

Notting City, a small border town of the Heaven Dou Empire, is located in the southwest of the empire, bordering the Star Luo Empire and the Barak Kingdom. Four hundred miles to the northeast lies the Soul Hunting Forest, Dugu Yang's destination.

Since he didn't know how many days he would stay in the Soul Hunter Forest, Dugu Bo decided to settle in Notting City first and prepare some food.

While shopping, the two passed by Notting College, which immediately caught Dugu Yang's attention.

Because he knew that in three years, Tang San would come here to study, accompanied by Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Xiao Wu..."

Dugu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering as he considered whether he should make arrangements in advance to capture Xiao Wu.

After all, this is a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone. More importantly, Xiao Wu, as a transformed soul beast, is only equivalent to a soul master in strength. Even the current Dugu Yang can easily poison her.

But after thinking it over, Dugu Yang gave up.

He hadn't forgotten that Tang Hao had been secretly protecting Tang San all along.

As a titled Douluo, Tang Hao naturally knew Xiao Wu's true identity.

The reason why Tang Hao didn't harm Xiao Wu was naturally because he wanted to leave Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone to Tang San.

Don't say that Tang Hao didn't lay a hand on Xiao Wu because of Tang San's mother.

It was all an excuse that Tang Hao made up himself.

Dugu Yang didn't believe that Tang Hao would have any goodwill towards a strange 100,000-year-old soul beast when he first met Xiao Wu.

Even Tang Hao's feelings for Tang San's mother, Ah Yin, were questioned by Dugu Yang.

In the original novel, Tang Hao appears to be very affectionate towards Ah Yin, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Tang Hao is a complete scoundrel.

First, there's Tang San. As the fruit of their love, Tang Hao neglected him, drinking heavily all day long. If Tang San hadn't also been a transmigrator, he probably wouldn't have lived past the age of six.

It was only after Tang Hao awakened the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul at the age of six that he truly began to value Tang San.

If Tang Hao truly loved Ah Yin deeply, how could he treat their two children like this?

Then there's Ah Yin. After committing suicide as a sacrifice, she left behind a seed thanks to the Blue Silver Emperor's inexhaustible life force. As long as it grows, she can be resurrected.

But what did Tang Hao do? He simply planted Ah Yin's seed in a sunless cave, showing no intention of reviving her at all.

Of course, Ah Yin herself was also foolish, being a 100,000-year-old soul beast and failing to see through the true nature of a human.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Dugu Yang. If given the chance, he would like to take Ah Yin's soul bone from Tang Hao, since Ah Yin's soul bone was of the highest quality and had the best soul skills.

However, Dugu Yang cannot think too much right now; he is still too weak.
