Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

The system notification sound suddenly rang in my mind.

[Soul Ring Configuration Successfully Completed!]

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking the fifth soul skill of the Panlong Staff: Holy Dragon Tiger Whale Demon Slash!]

[Soul Skill Effect: Releases thousands of tiny crimson light blades, indiscriminately covering all directions, sweeping and bombarding in all directions, attacking from 360 degrees with no blind spots!]

On the surface, the description of this soul skill is simple and straightforward, without any fancy or exaggerated descriptions.

But Ao Yin knew perfectly well that this was definitely a top-tier offensive soul skill with explosive killing power and overwhelming ferocity.

Inheriting the violent and malevolent aura of the Demon Orca King and tainted with the dark power of the Dark Holy Dragon, this move combines area-of-effect crushing and soul-devouring damage. Its killing intent is chilling, its offensive power is terrifying, and it also comes with a weak domain suppression effect.

Just as Ao Yin was silently familiarizing himself with the new soul skill and consolidating his rapidly increasing cultivation level.

A faint, emerald-green figure silently descended upon the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Secret Realm.

The newcomer moved with light steps and a restrained aura, making no sound whatsoever. It was none other than the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, who had returned!

The stealthy approach, undetectable to outsiders, could not escape the notice of Ao Yin, whose physique had been transformed and whose five senses far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Ao Yin suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a blade, instantly locking onto the direction of the approaching person.

Dugu Bo landed slowly, his gaze immediately falling on Liu Erlong beside him.

The scene that greeted him left this veteran titled Douluo completely astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Liu Erlong's complexion was rosy and radiant, her blood and energy were abundant, and her skin was glowing. All the haggardness, paleness, and weakness she had suffered from after being poisoned had completely disappeared.

The triple poison that had previously penetrated deep into the bone marrow and seemed incurable was completely cleared away, leaving not a trace!

Dugu Bo couldn't help but exclaim in genuine amazement.

"Good lad, Ao Yin! You've truly opened my eyes!"

"I've dedicated my life to studying poisons, and the superimposed poison I personally concocted is so potent that even I'm not entirely confident I can eradicate it, yet you neutralized it completely with such ease!"

Surprised, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Ao Yin in front of him.

This one glance completely shocked even the seasoned Poison Douluo!

"Your cultivation level... has actually broken through again?!"

His pupils contracted sharply, and a storm raged in his heart.

From the moment Ao Yin stepped into the medicinal garden of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, only one night had passed.

The boy's aura grew more and more terrifying with each passing moment, his cultivation level surged, his realms broke through one after another, and his soul power soared like a rocket!

In just one day, his strength jumped several levels. This cultivation speed was beyond common sense and overturned Dugu Bo's understanding of the world for decades!

Faced with the astonishment of the titled Douluo, Ao Yin remained calm, slightly cupped his hands, and adopted a humble and measured posture.

"You flatter me, senior."

"My progress in cultivation and successful detoxification are all thanks to this blessed land of ice and fire, senior. The yin and yang energies here nourish the physical body and temper the soul power, making it truly a top-tier cultivation secret realm in the world."

During this trip to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Ao Yin underwent a comprehensive transformation in his physical body, divine energy, physique, soul rings, and cultivation, and his gains are immeasurable.

After speaking, he stepped forward and gently pulled Liu Erlong to his side, his gaze open and honest as he looked directly at Dugu Bo.

"As you have witnessed with your own eyes, senior, I can neutralize the triple poison that is unique to you."

"The poison in Miss Dugu Yan's body is naturally no problem for me."

A simple sentence, yet brimming with confidence and self-assurance.

Looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him, Dugu Bo felt a mix of emotions, and his back teeth were almost grinding to powder.

He had lived most of his life, had countless experiences, and possessed extremely sharp eyesight.

Even though the two deliberately concealed their true state, he could tell at a glance that their auras were intertwined and their bond was extremely deep, clearly indicating that they had experienced profound mutual assistance in the secret realm.

Originally, he intended to use the deadly poison and Liu Erlong to severely harass and torture Ao Yin, and to test his full secrets.

Who would have thought that his attempt to steal a chicken would backfire so badly!

Instead of making things difficult for the other party, Ao Yin was able to break through his cultivation and seize opportunities in his own peerless treasure land. He also formed a deep bond with Liu Erlong and enjoyed the opportunities in the secret realm!

Liu Erlong was stunningly beautiful, with a fiery figure and a unique, dashing demeanor. Even Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a little envious.

The thought that his carefully laid trap had actually benefited the other side filled Dugu Bo with resentment.

But he just doesn't have the slightest temper.

After careful consideration last night and the hints from Flanders and the others, he was already certain that Ao Yin was backed by a top-tier hidden sect.

This kind of transcendent power is something that a mere titled Douluo like him could not possibly provoke.

Once the facade is completely torn off, not only will he be unable to save his granddaughter, but he himself, and even the entire Bilin lineage, will face annihilation.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, or the suspected hidden sect—either one could easily crush him!

Frustrated, helpless, yet with no other recourse.

After a long while, Dugu Bo suppressed the complex emotions in his heart.

At this moment, Ao Yin spoke again, his tone frank and magnanimous, showing no resentment towards the previous life-or-death ordeal.

"Senior Poison Douluo, I know that everything you have done is out of love for your granddaughter and your eagerness to save her."

"That's only human nature, I completely understand. I've taken on the task of treating Miss Dugu Yan's poison, and I will do my utmost to help her completely eradicate it!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was instantly stunned.

He never imagined that his previous attempts to make things difficult for Ao Yin, his threats of suicide, and his coercion had repeatedly put Ao Yin in a life-or-death situation.

But now that the other party has succeeded, they are so magnanimous and forgiving, without holding any grudges or seeking accountability!

This mindset, perspective, and shrewdness are completely unlike what a teenager should possess!

At this moment, two major doubts arose in Dugu Bo's mind.

Such forbearance and magnanimity are due to the innate temperament of a young man that far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Or is it that he has the backing of a terrifying power and is so fearless that he doesn't bother to bother with me?

Regardless of the reason, it made him increasingly wary and less willing to offend them.

After a brief silence, Dugu Bo immediately suppressed all his gloomy mood, threw his head back and laughed loudly, taking the initiative to ease all the tensions.

"Hahaha! Excellent! What a magnanimous young friend!"

"All that happened before was due to my excessive probing; it was purely a misunderstanding. I hope you won't take it to heart, young friend!"

"I'll leave the treatment of my daughter Dugu Yan's poison to my young friend Ao Yin!"

His attitude softened completely.

Ultimately, there was no irreconcilable feud between him and Ao Yin; it was all a test, a test for his granddaughter's chances of survival.

He was willing to accept any grievances and concessions as long as he could save Dugu Yan.

Even though Ao Yin is currently involved with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and is suspected of being backed by a hidden sect, if something happens to him, he will face retaliation from two top-tier forces.

But for his only granddaughter, he was willing to take the risk and choose to unconditionally trust Ao Yin just this once.

At the same time, he secretly prepared for the worst.

If Ao Yin truly harbors malicious intentions, feigns to save people, and plots against them.

No matter what his background is, death is all that awaits him.

If a hidden sect comes knocking, this Title Douluo will not hesitate to burn his own soul power and abandon his own origin!

Even if it means being shattered to pieces, I will use every last bit of my strength to protect my granddaughter and give her a chance to live!

Having settled his thoughts, Dugu Bo gave Ao Yin a deep look, his tone solemn and resolute.

"From now on, I will trust you!"

"Yan'er's life is in your hands!"
