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

"Hahaha, it was just a chance encounter with a very interesting little guy." Dugu Bo laughed loudly, frankly explaining the reason.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, don't think you're invincible just because you have the Spirit Hall backing you up!"

A cold glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and his powerful soul force surged forth without the slightest hesitation.

A pair of hands, glowing with a ghostly green light, suddenly shot out, carrying a chilling poisonous energy, and went straight for Yue Guan's face.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Serpent Earthly Fiend Strike!"

Yue Guan's expression suddenly changed, his heart filled with surprise.

He never expected that Dugu Bo, whose soul power was originally inferior to his own, would dare to launch an attack and openly defy his superior.

This clearly shows that they don't take Chrysanthemum Douluo seriously at all.

"You old poisoner! How dare you! You refuse a polite offer and insist on drinking a penalty shot!"

A deafening roar echoed through the forest. Yue Guan's spirit rings flashed one after another, and his sixth spirit ring rose up with a dazzling golden light.

"You dare to speak disrespectfully to the Spirit Hall? It seems you're determined not to surrender. With such a narrow vision, even if you obtain an immense opportunity, how could it possibly surpass the power of the Spirit Hall?"

"Surrender?" Dugu Bo shook his head indifferently, his tone full of disdain. "The Spirit Hall has too many rules and regulations, and I have no interest in them whatsoever."

"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to take your life! Poison Douluo!" Yue Guan's eyes revealed murderous intent, and his body was filled with surging killing aura.

In the Spirit Hall's view, if a strong person cannot be used for their own purposes, then they must be completely eliminated.

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts; this has always been the guiding principle of the Spirit Hall.

As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo possessed formidable strength, and the Spirit Hall had long had its eye on him, sending people to recruit him multiple times with incredibly generous offers.

However, Dugu Bo was naturally carefree and unrestrained, and he was unwilling to be controlled by the Spirit Hall. He ignored all attempts to recruit him and continued to travel the continent alone.

In the eyes of the Spirit Hall, this was a blatant rejection.

Since they cannot be subdued, the only option is to kill them.

The one who came to carry out the assassination mission was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

Although Dugu Bo's strength wasn't among the top of all the titled Douluo, his poison skills were truly terrifying.

If Dugu Bo were to unleash his full poisonous power, almost no one below the title of Douluo would be able to survive.

Such terrifying ability to kill in large numbers is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Spirit Hall's forces.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall established an ironclad rule: if recruitment fails, the spirit must be eliminated.

In the past few pursuits, Dugu Bo was very shrewd. Once he sensed that the situation was unfavorable, he would immediately withdraw and escape. The Spirit Hall made several attempts, but all of them failed.

Yue Guan had already made a prediction in his mind, thinking that Dugu Bo would still do what he always did: run away as soon as things turned bad, and not fight him to the death.

But to his utter surprise, Dugu Bo not only did not run away today, but instead planned to confront him head-on.

"You old poisoner, you greatly underestimate me, Chrysanthemum Douluo!" Yue Guan said coldly. "Why do you think the Spirit Hall would dare send me alone to hunt you down?"

"No matter what extraordinary encounters you've recently had, the gap in soul power between us remains insurmountable!"

"Prepare to die!"

"Sixth Soul Skill - Golden Stamens Flowing with Rosy Clouds!"

Suddenly, countless golden chrysanthemum petals burst forth, and countless sharp golden needles rained down like a storm, covering the entire battlefield in a dense, overwhelming blanket.

The defensive shield in front of Dugu Bo was being bombarded relentlessly by a dense barrage of golden needles. The surface of the shield kept cracking, and it was about to give way to this sharp attack.

A terrifying sense of oppression enveloped his entire body, and a continuous stream of violent soul power surged in from all directions, as if it would tear his body apart at any moment.

A crisp snap!

The Serpent Heavenly Shield shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments of light that scattered in all directions.

But the moment the shield shattered, a soul force far more turbulent and violent than before erupted from Dugu Bo's body!

The surging power swept in all directions, and most of the golden chrysanthemum spikes that came flying from the sky were shattered by this violent soul power.

"What?!"

Yue Guan's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.

……

Dugu Bo let out a long breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

"As expected, to break through the bottleneck, one needs the extreme pressure of a Title Douluo level to stimulate oneself."

"You! Your soul power has actually reached level ninety-three!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo cried out in shock, his expression changing drastically.

When they fought just now, he only felt that Dugu Bo's soul power was just close to level 93, but now the power that was being unleashed was a real level 93 Title Douluo!

"Spirit Hall, you've gone too far!"

Dugu Bo slowly raised his head, and nine soul rings of different colors rose from his feet. His aura surged, and he was full of vigor.

"Does he really think I, Poison Douluo, am a pushover? You rotten chrysanthemum, have repeatedly hunted me down. Today, it's time to settle this old score!"

Dugu Bo roared, his body enveloped in swirling poisonous mist, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

The scene before him made even the usually composed Chrysanthemum Douluo unable to sit still any longer.

A breakthrough on the spot!

To break through the level barrier at the critical moment of life and death in a fierce battle within the realm of Title Douluo is an astonishing feat!

"Madman! You're a complete madman!" Yue Guan's face was contorted with rage, and an overwhelming fear rose in his heart.

This scene instantly stirred up a nightmare that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time.

In his entire life, he had only ever seen one person who could achieve a breakthrough in the midst of a battle between Title Douluos, crushing his opponent with the power of a desperate situation.

That person was a complete madman.

That person was none other than Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao!

The scenes from that year are still vivid in his mind. That earth-shattering and domineering power is still deeply imprinted in Yue Guan's heart to this day, and he feels a chill whenever he thinks about it.

Dugu Bo's current posture of breaking through to a higher realm in the face of battle is exactly the same as Tang Hao's back then, instantly stirring up the lingering shadow deep in Chrysanthemum Douluo's heart.

"That's exactly what happened to Tang Hao back then!"

Kikuzuki was deeply shaken and couldn't help but mutter to herself under her breath.

He still vividly remembers that epic battle that shook the entire Spirit Hall. Back then, Tang Hao was trapped in a desperate situation, but through the extreme pressure of life and death, he forcibly broke through his cultivation level, leaping from the peak of level 89 to the level 90 titled realm, severely injuring the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, and achieving godhood in one battle!

In an instant, Yue Guan snapped back to reality, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart. His face was full of disbelief, as well as extreme resentment and contempt.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"You, Dugu Bo, have been consistently outclassed by me for over a decade, ranking at the bottom among the title holders!"

"What makes you think you can emulate Tang Hao's incredible comeback? You're not worthy!"

Thinking of Tang Hao's unparalleled domineering power, and then looking at Dugu Bo in front of him, Yue Guan felt it was utterly absurd.

Tang Hao is a once-in-a-millennium genius, while Dugu Bo is merely a weak titled figure who survives by relying on his poison skills. The two are worlds apart and cannot be compared at all!

This sudden benchmarking was a brutal trampling on his pride and dignity, and a surge of anger instantly overwhelmed him.

The extreme resentment and the humiliation of being looked down upon completely ignited his murderous intent.

"So what if you manage to break through to level 93 by sheer luck?!"

"Today, I will still make you die here!"

A murderous intent surged in Yue Guan's eyes as he completely abandoned all his previous mockery and contempt, no longer holding back any of his strength.

He formed hand seals, his spirit rings shone brightly, and his top-tier titled foundation was fully revealed!

"Seventh Soul Skill - Martial Soul True Body!"

Golden chrysanthemum shadows filled the sky, covering the entire area, while the powerful martial spirit suppressed the surrounding wilderness, causing the entire mountain forest to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth and murmured, unleashing his ultimate killing move!

"Ninth Soul Skill - Chrysanthemums Wither, Wounds Cover the Ground, Fallen Petals Break One's Heart!"

Rumble!

Endless golden petals rose into the air, surging and converging wildly, carrying with them an overwhelming power capable of destroying everything.

The power of this attack was several times greater than all the previous attacks. The layers upon layers of petal-shaped energy completely sealed off every inch of the aura barrier, leaving Dugu Bo no way to dodge or retreat. The killing intent had already taken shape!

Faced with this ultimate killing move that could severely injure a titled expert, Dugu Bo stood still, his body surrounded by swirling azure poisonous mist, his expression calm and without the slightest fear.

His eyes were sharp, his fighting spirit soaring, and he spoke in a deep, low voice.

"You have a ninth soul skill, but I, Poison Douluo, also have my ultimate trump card!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo stomped his right foot hard on the ground, and cracks spread rapidly across the earth!

"Seventh Soul Skill - Martial Soul True Body!"

"Ninth Soul Skill - Azure Scale Divine Light!"

A deafening roar shattered the heavens and the earth!

A dark, shimmering, poisonous light shot into the sky, colliding violently with the golden petals and energy that filled the air!

Two devastating forces crushed, tore, and collided violently, with continuous explosions echoing through the mountains and fields.

A violent energy storm swept in all directions, crushing all the towering ancient trees around them with its aftershocks. Stones and wood chips flew everywhere, and the entire dense forest was completely reduced to battlefield ruins!

During the stalemate, Juyue Guan gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of his level 94 cultivation, forcefully suppressed the offensive, letting out a cold shout with a confident expression.

"Level 93 versus Level 94! The difference in their cultivation levels is like heaven and earth!"

"Dugu Bo, so what if you broke through temporarily? The gap in foundation cannot be bridged. You were too arrogant, careless, and underestimated your opponent!"

Faced with his confident assertion, Dugu Bo remained calm and composed throughout, showing no sign of panic.

Having cultivated his expertise in the title system for many years, he had a thorough understanding of Juyue Pass's soul power level and weaknesses, and had a complete plan in mind.

Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo thought victory was assured, Dugu Bo suddenly curled up a cold smile.

"A difference in levels?"

"What if, in addition, I add my trump card that I've kept hidden for years?"

As his deep voice fell, a flash of soul power appeared at his fingertips, and two dark, inconspicuous iron balls quietly floated in front of him.

"Mother and Child Life-Chasing Gallbladders! Activate!"

ka ka ka-

A crisp, cold mechanical clanging sound suddenly rang out across the battlefield, both jarring and eerie.

These two hidden weapons may seem ordinary, but they are actually the top five deadly weapons of the Tang Clan. The mother and child weapons are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, hiding endless killing intent. They are specifically designed to break through the protective aura of a Soul Master and come with an incurable poison!

The inner gall contains a bewitching poison mist that can slow down the actions of those who are sealed in battle, while the outer gall contains hundreds of bone-dissolving needles that can pierce through armor and defenses, making it domineering and unstoppable.

He had been holding back all along, waiting for this crucial moment to deliver the decisive blow!

hum-

The sound of machinery running continued, and the two chambers vibrated rapidly, seemingly on the verge of exploding.

Ju Yueguan, who was fully activating his soul skill to suppress the attack, froze instantly upon hearing the sound.

An extremely chilling sensation shot straight from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!

His intuition, honed through years of fighting on the battlefield, allowed him to instantly sense the deadly crisis!

A chill ran down my spine, my mind reeled, and the confident look on my face vanished instantly, replaced by extreme vigilance and panic.

He never expected that Dugu Bo, who made a breakthrough on the spot, would have such a ruthless and domineering trump card hidden!
