In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 390 Poison Explosion Technique

About a month later, Zhu Wu left the Dragon Domain at a certain point and controlled his clone to return to the Spirit Hall Academy.

The next morning, Ghost Douluo brought Bibi Dong to his residence.

"Brother Yingtian." As soon as the door opened, a familiar voice rang in my ears.

"Now that you've broken through, let's set off." Zhu Wu nodded slightly to Bibi Dong, walked out, and closed the door behind him.

"Thank you very much, Brother Yingtian," Bibi Dong said sincerely.

"What I promised, I will naturally do," Zhu Wu said with a smile, then looked up at Ghost Douluo.

"Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back!"

"Alright." Ghost Douluo nodded. "The carriage is already waiting outside the academy."

The Spirit Hall has come to the Star Dou Great Forest, making it the best choice for their trip.

Zhu Wu said no more and strode outside. Bibi Dong quickly followed, and Ghost Douluo followed behind them without saying a word.

Before long, the three arrived at the foot of the academy mountain, boarded the carriage, and set off.

"Stretch out your hand," Zhu Wu said, reaching out his hand to Bibi Dong from inside the carriage.

"Oh." Bibi Dong nodded gently and raised her right hand to Zhu Wu's palm.

Zhu Wu seized the wrist, and with a sweep of his divine sense, the wrist loosened.

"The strength is not bad." Looking at Bibi Dong's slightly flushed face, he said without changing his expression, "13000 years should not be a problem."

"Moreover, it is a top-tier soul beast. If its physical strength is average, its lifespan could probably be increased even further."

"As a possessor of twin martial souls, both of which are top-tier beast martial souls, your physical potential is already higher than that of ordinary soul masters. Continuous intense training coupled with life-and-death experiences has undoubtedly unleashed your physical potential, accelerating the improvement of your physical strength."

"However, this result is already the limit of your current body. Too much of a good thing is bad, so there's no need to increase the intensity any further."

It's 1000 years longer than the currently recognized optimal absorption period in the Soul Master world. Bibi Dong's face lit up with joy.

This is equivalent to absorbing both the first and second spirit rings at once, which she considers an incredible profit.

Composing himself, he said in a low voice, "Elder Ju is well-versed in medicine, and he has been in charge of controlling the intensity of our training all this time."

"He also helped prepare the medicinal bath."

It's good to have someone studying medicine around you. You don't have to worry about developing health problems during training, unlike back in Shrek Academy. Zhu Wu nodded, "No wonder. Elder Yueguan has a very high level of medical expertise. From now on, just listen to him regarding the training intensity."

"Mm." Bibi Dong nodded gently.

"To receive such praise, if I were to tell Yue Guan back here, he'd probably be strutting around with pride." Ghost Douluo sighed inwardly from outside the carriage.

Because he had offended Dragon God Douluo with his words before, Yue Guan didn't dare to come along this time.

"Take good care of yourself and focus on your breathing," Zhu Wu's voice came. "The Star Dou Great Forest is extremely dangerous; we can't let our guard down."

"Okay." Bibi Dong nodded and then closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.

Ghost Douluo knew Ying Tian's strength and understood that this was to avoid interacting too much with Bibi Dong and causing her feelings for him to rekindle.

Without saying much, he stood guard outside the carriage.

Time passed slowly, and in the afternoon, the group entered the Starry Sky Forest.

"Brother Yingtian, what kind of spirit beast do you think I should choose as my fifth spirit ring?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Black-footed Spider," Zhu Wu replied. "While this race's overall abilities aren't top-tier among spider-type soul beasts, their venom is the most potent among spiders. And venom is precisely what the Death Spider King excels at, making it a perfect match for your martial soul. Most importantly, after reaching ten thousand years of cultivation, this race has a chance to awaken a talent skill, which is ideal for you."

"What skill?" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity; she really didn't know.

"Poisonous Explosion." Zhu Wu said calmly, "This is a talent ability that Black-Legged Spiders develop after their cultivation breaks through ten thousand years and gain intelligence. Only when their intelligence is not low and they develop a certain amount of spiritual power can they have the opportunity to awaken it. The effect is to stimulate the toxin with spiritual power, causing the toxicity to increase dramatically."

"No matter how powerful a Soul Master's defensive Soul Skill is, their internal organs are always vulnerable. Therefore, as long as you can acquire this skill, once the opponent's poison enters the body, it's like planting a bomb in a vulnerable part of the body that can explode at any time."

Bibi Dong's bright eyes are indeed a perfect match for her soul skill.

"As for how to get the poison into the enemy's body and detonate it at the right time, that requires a certain amount of combat wisdom," Zhu Wu continued, "especially when facing some martial souls that can counter poison, such as fire-attribute or ice-attribute martial souls."

"In addition, some Soul Masters with strong mental power, excellent perception, and even expertise in pharmacology need to be careful. Furthermore, some masters of poison can temper themselves into a body immune to all poisons by fighting poison with poison, and are not afraid of poison at all."

"There's actually such a thing?" Bibi Dong was surprised.

"Of course I do, I have this special constitution myself," Zhu Wu smiled. "It's just that I didn't develop it by drinking poison."

"There are some rare herbs in this world that can counteract toxins, and I was fortunate enough to have eaten one."

The Ice and Fire Body Tempering technique was a major boost to his early rise to power.

"The world is so big, there are truly all sorts of wonders." Bibi Dong sighed inwardly, while also feeling a little fortunate.

Fortunately, it was Ying Tian who ate this herb, not the enemy of the Spirit Hall.

Brother Yingtian would definitely not hurt her.

"Don't worry too much. Don't forget you have another martial soul," Zhu Wu said with a smile. "The Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor is good at close combat and is a top-tier offensive beast martial soul, which perfectly complements your Death Spider Emperor martial soul. Besides, it's being cultivated as a second martial soul. Once you've built a solid foundation by cultivating the Death Spider Emperor to the Title Douluo level, your Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor can even be equipped with a 50,000-year soul ring."

"Once all the spirit rings are attached, your physical body, which has been enhanced by eighteen spirit rings, will have extremely strong basic attributes in all aspects."

"Mmm." Bibi Dong nodded repeatedly, which was what she had been looking forward to.

"However, high physical strength and many soul skills do not necessarily mean strong combat power," Zhu Wu continued. "Combat intelligence, practical experience, and understanding of martial souls and soul skills are all factors that affect the outcome of battles."

"We still have a long way to go."

"Don't forget, gods exist on this continent."

"But is becoming a god the end of cultivation? I don't think so! After all, weren't angel gods also cultivated from humans? And after becoming a god, one must still need to cultivate, and there may be even more and stronger realms to come."

"There are always stronger beings above the strong, and perhaps even worlds beyond worlds. Who can say for sure where the end is?"

Even though he is already at the pinnacle of this universe, isn't he still exploring outwards?

If another universe truly exists, what would its interior be like? To be honest, he was quite curious as well.

Bibi Dong looked thoughtful, then nodded solemnly, "Brother Yingtian, I will always work hard."

"There's no need to be too tense," Zhu Wu smiled.

"Life is about balancing work and rest, otherwise it loses its fun."

Why does Brother Yingtian speak like an older elder? Bibi Dong had this feeling for some reason and nodded slightly.

As they ventured deeper, more and more spirit beasts came into view, so they dared not talk any longer and focused intently on their surroundings.

Night fell quickly. Bibi Dong and Zhu Wu each had their own tent, while Ghost Douluo and his guards surrounded them, keeping watch.

Nothing more was said that night, and the group continued on their journey.

The following day, having successfully arrived at the area where the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast lived, Zhu Wu began to exert his power.

He called a halt to the procession, crouched down, placed one hand on the ground, and slowly projected his divine sense outwards, taking in the surrounding scenery.

"Come with me." He stood up, turned and walked in one direction, explaining as he went.

"What I just used was a mental energy skill called Mental Detection, which can detect real-time scenes within a certain range."

"That sounds pretty practical," Bibi Dong commented.

"It's indeed a good way to mitigate risks," Zhu Wu said with a smile. "When you're traveling, safety comes first."

No wonder he was able to venture alone across the vast continent as a commoner and eventually grow to his current level without anyone knowing. Ghost Douluo sighed inwardly.

This soul skill is extremely useful, whether for avoiding risks or finding compatible soul beasts.

It's a practical and amazing skill that allows you to develop your strength discreetly.

Bibi Dong agreed, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

Zhu Wu said no more and led the team deeper into the area, stopping from time to time to continue exploring.

The following afternoon, we finally found our target.

"Found it. Judging from its size, it should be less than 14000 years old. The Black-legged Spider is not stronger than its physical body, so this age is still within a tolerable range. The mental fluctuations it emits are not low, so it seems to have awakened the talent of poison explosion." Zhu Wu said as he stood up.

"As for whether it's true or not, Elder Ghost can go and test it out. With me here, there's no need to worry about being poisoned."

"Okay." Ghost Douluo nodded gently.

"Then follow me." Zhu Wu nodded and led the team deeper into the area.

After walking several hundred meters, a large, long-legged spider came into view.

Without hesitation, Ghost Douluo leaped forward and arrived in front of the spider in a few bounds. He then deliberately allowed himself to be stabbed in the abdomen, allowing the poison to enter his body. He then used his powerful soul force to isolate the invasion and continue the fight, eventually managing to stall until the poisonous spider unleashed its poison explosion ability.

Sensing the mental fluctuations in the air, the deadly poison within his body suddenly became abnormally active.

Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly sprang into action and swiftly subdued the venomous spider.

"Go ahead," Zhu Wu said, turning his head.

"Hmm." Bibi Dong nodded, jogged to the spider's side, and pulled out a longsword, plunging it straight into the soft tissue behind the neck.

With a few soft hissing sounds, the air fell silent, and a black spirit ring floated out.

Bibi Dong didn't linger. She sheathed her longsword, sat down, and began absorbing the soul rings.

At the same time, Zhu Wu waved his hand and unleashed a beam of turquoise light, forcing out the Ghost Douluo's poison while simultaneously healing his wounds.

Ghost Douluo bowed slightly and walked to the other side to protect Bibi Dong, who was absorbing a spirit ring.

Aside from a slight bulge of veins on her forehead at the beginning, there were no unexpected events in the middle, and several hours later, Bibi Dong successfully absorbed the spirit ring.

She opened her eyes, her face slightly flushed, looking a little excited. Her gaze was full of gratitude as she looked at Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu remained calm, and only after the other person stood up and approached did he say indifferently, "How is it?"

"Soul Power Level 52, Soul Skill: Poison Explosion Technique," Bibi Dong said softly.
