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

Rumble—!

A deafening explosion suddenly resounded throughout the Sunset Forest, and the violent energy shockwave swept across the surrounding area, causing the trees to shake violently and leaves to fall.

The spot where Dugu Bo was standing was instantly enveloped by thick dust and smoke that filled the sky. The white fog obscured his vision, the ground was cracked with countless ravines, and a huge, exaggerated pit was sunken in the center. The scene was chaotic and shocking.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Ao Yin slowly withdrew his attack. The spiritual light of the Panlong Staff in his hand faded completely, and the million-year-old crimson-gold soul ring that had shaken the heavens and earth quietly disappeared into his body.

He looked at the extremely destructive crater in front of him, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, followed by a playful smile, and casually made a sarcastic remark.

"Old Poisoner, surely it can't be that bad? A titled Douluo, you can't even withstand one of my attacks?"

Ao Yin was secretly amazed by the terrifying power of the million-year soul ring.

Even though it was just a single strike from a Soul King level cultivator, its explosive power was beyond reason, ridiculously strong.

He knew in his heart that if an ordinary Soul Douluo had taken that Holy Dragon Rampage head-on, he would have been instantly and severely injured, on the verge of death, and would not have been able to hold on safely.

This clearly demonstrates that, after being empowered by a million-year soul ring, his combat strength has already surpassed several major realms, truly giving him the ability to rival top-tier titled Douluo.

Just then, a cloud of dust suddenly billowed up, and a low sigh came from the deep pit.

With a soft rumble, Dugu Bo's figure slowly stepped out from the ruins.

At this moment, he had lost his previous composure and arrogance. His neat robes were now disheveled and wrinkled, his hair was flying wildly and disordered, and his aura was slightly fluctuating and disordered. It was clear that even a titled Douluo had not had an easy time withstanding that attack.

"You've got some nerve, kid!"

Dugu Bo shook his head with a wry smile, his tone filled with lingering fear.

"If it weren't for my solid foundation and my status as a Title Douluo, which grants me defenses far exceeding those of ordinary people, I would have been smashed to pieces by this brat's blow today!"

He looked up and gazed intently at Ao Yin, his eyes filled with amazement and admiration.

"Truly worthy of being a successor from a reclusive sect!"

"The domineering power and immense strength of your attack are something even the Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, at your age, would likely find difficult to match, and might even feel inferior!"

The longer they spent together, the more alarmed Dugu Bo became.

Ao Yin's talent, combat prowess, and temperament all defy common sense and overturn conventional understanding.

Such an unparalleled prodigy, as long as he doesn't perish along the way, will surely reach the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent in the future and become the strongest being standing tall in the world.

In the path of cultivation, hard work is certainly important, but extraordinary talent can never be replaced!

Faced with Dugu Bo's heartfelt praise, Ao Yin simply smiled faintly, his expression calm and composed, without the slightest hint of pride or complacency.

He looked calmly at Dugu Bo and spoke slowly.

"Old poisoner, you can't blame me for this."

"You just said it yourself: stand still, take my attack head-on, and don't dodge. You meant it!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face instantly stiffened, and he looked embarrassed.

"Never mind, it was my carelessness that I failed to dodge."

The power of that attack was too terrifying. Even with his profound foundation and vast soul power, he was still shaken so badly that his blood and qi surged violently and his internal organs trembled. It took him a long time to barely suppress the chaotic aura, and his whole body still felt faintly stuffy.

Although it wasn't serious enough to cause injury, it was still quite uncomfortable.

But he was not angry; instead, he was filled with sighs and emotions.

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

"Having lived for so many years, I never imagined that I would witness a million-year-old spirit ring appear in the world before my very eyes!"

He sighed sincerely, secretly speculating in his heart.

A million-year soul ring—how incredibly rare and powerful it is!

Even the Spirit Hall, which possesses the most profound resources on the continent, has never had anyone possess it throughout its history!

In his view, Ao Yin's ability to possess such a terrifying opportunity must be due to the reclusive sects sparing no expense in cultivating him, thus creating such a heaven-defying youth.

Little did he know, Ao Yin had no idea about any hidden sects!

Ao Yin's incredible opportunities, terrifying strength, and top-tier trump cards never relied on external forces; his only reliance was the sign-in system on his body!

Ao Yin was too lazy to explain Dugu Bo's conjecture, nor did he need to.

He looked up and surveyed the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

He spent half a year settling in this place, signing in and cultivating every day without interruption. He absorbed almost all the fortune of the entire secret realm, and his opportunities were completely exhausted. There was no point in staying any longer.

Ao Yin made up his mind in his heart.

I'll use up my last sign-in opportunity today, and tomorrow I'll head back to Shrek Academy to prepare for the upcoming Continental Elite Academy Tournament!

Having made up his mind, Ao Yin gave a low shout in his heart.

"System, check in now!"

[Ding! Successfully checked in at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Level 5 reward: Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Courage!]

"Hiss! It's actually this priceless treasure!"

Ao Yin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

The Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Darts are a renowned and deadly hidden weapon of the Tang Clan. They are terrifyingly lethal, insidious, and unsolvable, making them a divine weapon capable of killing enemies of higher levels!

The entire set of hidden weapons consists of a mother flask and hundreds of daughter flasks, combining offense and defense for a series of deadly attacks.

The mother's gallbladder burst, triggering an attack that instantly exploded into a sky full of purple, bewitching poisonous smoke, covering an extremely wide area.

An ordinary mortal would fall into a deep sleep immediately upon inhaling even a trace of it, and would be unable to wake up for ten days and ten nights.

Even a high-level Soul Master with profound cultivation will become sluggish and have their Soul Power blocked if they are accidentally exposed to the poisonous smoke, resulting in a significant reduction in their combat power and putting them at a disadvantage.

The moment the mother's gallbladder explodes, hundreds of hidden bone-dissolving needles will erupt instantly, sweeping across the sky and penetrating everywhere.

The divine needle is extremely sharp, specifically designed to counter the protective aura of a Soul Master, and has an extremely strong ability to break through defenses.

The most terrifying thing is that the needle itself is poisonous. Once a person is pierced by a single needle, the poison will instantly spread throughout the body along the blood vessels, corroding the muscles, bones and flesh. Those who are afflicted will have their bones soften like cotton, suffer incurable serious injuries, and be extremely dangerous!

With such a deadly hidden weapon in hand, his trump cards have increased dramatically once again. He now has another terrifying trump card to play in battles against opponents of higher levels and to instantly kill powerful enemies!

Suppressing his overwhelming joy, Ao Yin turned to look at Dugu Bo beside him, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes, and slowly spoke.

"Old poisoner, I have a great opportunity for you that will only benefit you."

"How about we make a deal?"

Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, his eyes filled with doubt as he stared intently at Ao Yin, who remained composed.

He was filled with curiosity about what kind of deal this young genius, who possessed a million-year soul ring and had extraordinary talent, intended to make with him.

With a thought, Ao Yin raised his hand and took out the reward he had just received from the system check-in.

A black iron gall bladder, seemingly plain and unremarkable in appearance, lay quietly in his palm. It was cold to the touch and had an ordinary appearance, showing no sign of terrifying power.

It's the Level 5 reward I just received—the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Courage!

Seeing this, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the ordinary iron gall in Ao Yin's palm.

He had lived most of his life and seen countless rare treasures, poisonous weapons, and divine weapons, but he had never seen this object before.

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow slightly, asking with a hint of doubt, "What is this thing in your hand? It looks ordinary, and I can't see anything special about it."
