Douluo Continent: If the system had arrived ten thousand years earlier, I would have crushed Tang Sa

Chapter 135 Putting the cart before the horse? Return to Tian Dou City!

"Hmph, Dugu Bo, just do as you please. Only when your strength increases will you have the right to talk about change!"

Erming uttered a rare, human-like statement.

In truth, he knew in his heart that the world of soul beasts was even more dog-eat-dog than the world of soul masters, and that weak soul beasts were the nourishment for strong soul beasts.

Although he was indeed somewhat uncomfortable, Dugu Bo and the others did not indiscriminately kill soul beasts. He now only hoped that Dugu Bo could choose to hunt those soul beasts that were inclined towards evil.

Dugu Bo was also somewhat undecided, so he looked at Xiao Tian and asked, "Little monster, why don't you give me some advice? Which spirit beast do you think is suitable for Yan Yan's fourth spirit ring to hunt? Should we continue with the control route, or..."

Xiao Tian looked at Dugu Bo with a helpless expression and said, "Old monster, you are a Title Douluo, why did you choose to let Dugu Yan take the control route? And just simply use poison to control her? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

Dugu Bo:

Dugu Bo was surprised that Xiao Tian would say such a thing about him, and with such an expression as if he were a fool.

"Well, how should I put it? Aren't Yan Yan's soul skills pretty good right now? Her three soul rings can inflict different types of control on opponents, such as paralysis and poison, and her third soul skill can bring the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent to its fullest potential."

"Stop, stop, stop, old monster! Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? Dugu Yan is clearly more suited to a strong offensive or agile offensive style. Her martial soul is a venomous snake, and no matter what soul rings she adds, her soul skills will most likely be poisonous. So she can totally go for close combat! That way, she'll have both damage and control, unlike now, where she only has control and her attack methods are too limited!"

"Did Dugu Yan tell you the specifics of what happened at the Great Soul Arena that day? All she knows is how to use poison mist, that's all she can do. Does she even deserve to be called a qualified control-type Soul Master? She was easily countered by Phoenix Flame. Besides, the only thing poison mist is most afraid of is extreme Yang Fire and wind."

"My sword can summon fierce winds, so Dugu Yan's poison can't even get close to me. But if he goes for a strong or agile attack, delivering the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom to his opponent through close combat, the effect will be completely different!"

Xiao Tian patiently explained to Dugu Bo that while the Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom was indeed powerful, relying solely on poison mist as a means of control was somewhat insufficient.

"Therefore, I suggest that Dugu Yan choose to absorb the Human-Faced Demon Spider as her fourth spirit ring. Although it is not a snake-type martial soul, it is still an extremely poisonous and evil creature. Both its attack speed and toxicity are very suitable for Dugu Yan in her current state. Moreover, there are reasons for my suggestion that Dugu Yan choose the Human-Faced Demon Spider as her fourth spirit ring."

As he spoke, Xiao Tian took out the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone from his soul tool: "Old monster, look, what's this?"

"This! The external soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, how did you, little monster, have it?" Dugu Bo looked at Xiao Tian in shock.

When Xiao Tian mentioned the Human-Faced Demon Spider, Da Ming and Er Ming already knew what Xiao Tian was planning. It seemed that he intended to give the Eight Spider Spears to Dugu Yan.

Their original plan was for Xiao Tian to find a suitable opportunity to slowly exchange for a soul bone suitable for Xiao Wu, but after spending these days together, Dugu Bo has also gained their approval.

Moreover, they were all indebted to Dugu Bo.

That's right, it's this whole bunch of magical herbs!

After absorbing the immortal herb, they all felt that their cultivation speed had increased several times over.

Moreover, the immortal herb that Xiao Tian chose for Sister Xiao Wu was the top-grade Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Dugu Bo was able to give away these immortal herbs so generously, mostly out of gratitude for the cultivation technique given to him by Xiao Tian. However, he also became very good friends with Xiao Tian and would always stand in Xiao Tian's shoes no matter what.

This is quite different from the situation where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is on good terms with Xiao Tian.

Dugu Bo represents an individual, while Ning Fengzhi and his group represent a sect. When the greater interests of the sect are involved, who knows what they might do?

Therefore, Da Ming and Er Ming prefer the relationship between Dugu Bo and Xiao Tian.

"Hehe, this Eight Spider Lances is..." Xiao Tian explained simply.

Dugu Bo was so moved he didn't know what to say. He could only sigh and say, "Little monster, how am I ever going to repay this favor? Even giving you my life wouldn't be enough!"

"Old monster, you're being pretentious. I've harvested so many of your immortal herbs, and since we'll be representing the Heaven Dou Empire in the competition, Dugu Yan's strength can't be too far behind, right? But I must remind you, Tang San's father is Tang Hao. Once Dugu Yan reveals her Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. You need to be prepared!"

Seeing Dugu Bo's hesitant expression, Xiao Tian said with a teasing smile, "What? Old monster, you're not chickening out, are you? No way, no way, with the cultivation technique I gave you, you're not the same as before. You're actually afraid of Tang Hao?"

Grass!

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian was really despicable in this state.

"Little monster, has anyone ever told you that you can be really cunning sometimes—no, really despicable! Look at you, so shameless! Humph, you think I'm afraid of Tang Hao? Are you kidding me?"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly and carefully put away the Eight Spider Soul Bone, feeling deeply moved.

In fact, he knew that Xiao Tian said that because he wanted him to accept the soul bone without any burden.

Xiao Tian said this was a thank-you gift for harvesting so many immortal herbs, but compared to this cultivation technique, these immortal herbs were nothing at all.

"Hehe, old monster, I'm a swordsman, sometimes I can be a little cheeky, so what? I'm just following my heart! Only in this way can I go further on the path of the sword!"

A few days later, Xiao Tian and his group finally returned to Tian Dou City.

Inside the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Relying on his senses, Xiao Tian quickly gathered Xiao Wu and the others together.

Dugu Bo, on the other hand, took the soul bone and the immortal herb and went to find Dugu Yan alone, praying in his heart that his granddaughter was still in the academy and had not yet gone to obtain her fourth soul ring.

Given the current situation, Dugu Yan can first cultivate the "Poison Spirit Purification Technique," then absorb the soul bone, and finally absorb the immortal herb.

Their strength will experience an explosive increase!

After all, unlike Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan was not deeply poisoned and would probably recover quickly before beginning a series of cultivation practices.

"Brother, you're finally back? Why did you rush to bring us to the training room?"

Having not seen Xiao Tian for two months, Xiao Wu jumped onto him as soon as they met, rubbing her head against his chest, completely unconcerned about what others thought.

P.S.: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, brothers! Please keep reading! Only one update today. I'm also taking a break, hehe. I had a stiff neck yesterday and didn't go to bed until 6 AM, so I need to get some rest!
