Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 74 Could it be that Dugu Bo is the true chosen one?

Guangling and Han Li both looked at the figure that appeared in front of them and were momentarily stunned.

The man who appeared before them, Dugu Bo, was still dressed in a gray robe, but his hair and beard had turned black, and his face looked as if he had undergone plastic surgery, with all his wrinkles gone, making him look much younger.

In just over an hour, he transformed from a disheveled old man into a handsome middle-aged man.

If they hadn't witnessed his martial soul evolution firsthand, the master and disciple would never have thought they were the same person.

Seeing his master open his mouth, ready to fight Dugu Bo again, Han Li had a headache and quickly walked between the two.

"Why don't we go up first? Sister Yan is waiting, so she won't worry. We can talk about everything when we get up there."

"That works/It's okay."

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously sprouted wings and flew towards the platform above.

Han Li glanced at the two who had already set off, sighed softly, and slowly rose into the air, descending towards the platform.

On the platform, Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo, who had changed completely, and asked uncertainly, "Grandpa?"

"Yanyan, of course it's me. How about that? Did you see that? Grandpa did it! He even made a wing, so he can carry you flying in the sky from now on."

Dugu Bo did not fold his wings, but instead waved them left and right in a showy manner, subtly responding to what Guangling had pointed out to his granddaughter that he could not fly.

Guang Ling pursed her lips, but considering that Dugu Yan was also present, she held back and did not make any sarcastic remarks.

"It really is you, Grandpa! You look so young all of a sudden!"

Having grown accustomed to her grandfather's aged appearance, Dugu Yan was a little unaccustomed to it for a moment and did not rush over as usual, but she still showed a happy smile.

"Hahaha, Grandpa's poison is gone, his body has recovered, and naturally he's become younger." Dugu Bo laughed heartily; he hadn't been this happy in many years.

"Congratulations, Grandpa! You no longer need to worry about the backlash of your martial soul."

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo, who was acting like a young man full of youthful exuberance, and said sweetly.

Congratulations, senior.

Han Li also silently offered his blessings from the side.

"Alright, stop standing there, everyone sit down."

Guangling had already found a chair and sat down, then greeted the three of them.

After everyone took their seats, Dugu Bo looked at the three people staring at him and couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, I know you have questions for me. Go ahead and ask, one at a time."

"I'll go first, I'll go first."

Dugu Yan spoke enthusiastically, taking the lead in asking the first question.

"Okay, Yan Yan, you go ahead." Dugu Bo looked at her with doting eyes.

"Grandpa, what happened to your wings?"

Dugu Yan had wanted to ask earlier, but Guang Ling interrupted her, so she held back until now.

"The wings were an unexpected development in the evolution of my martial soul. I didn't expect to grow wings, but after completely absorbing the medicinal power, my martial soul suddenly grew wings. Fortunately, this is a good thing, and it makes my plan more feasible, so I kept them."

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and answered seriously.

"So that means I might grow wings in the future?" Dugu Yan asked excitedly.

Seeing his granddaughter's happy expression, Dugu Bo couldn't help but glance at Han Li. He hadn't seen what Han Li had prepared for Dugu Yan yet, so he naturally didn't dare to answer easily.

Han Li noticed his subtle movement and nodded slightly in confirmation.

Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled, looked at Dugu Yan, and nodded firmly.

"Yay!" Dugu Yan couldn't help but clench her fist. She could fly now too.

"Senior, after your martial soul evolved, you still retain such strong toxicity. Isn't that a bit risky? Or did something happen during the evolution that we don't know about?" Han Li asked, speculating.

Upon hearing Han Li mention this, Dugu Bo's face instantly lit up with a smile. This was also the reason why he couldn't wait to release his Martial Soul True Body when he heard Guang Ling and Han Li talking.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Li, I really have to thank you. The effect of the immortal herb you gave me was much stronger than I expected."

Dugu Bo sincerely stood up, and at the same time pulled Dugu Yan up, pressing her still somewhat bewildered, and bowed deeply.

Han Li hurriedly stood up to dodge, but was still forced to accept the bow.

"Senior, let's talk properly. I can't bear this. It'll shorten my lifespan."

"No, you deserve it," Dugu Bo said earnestly.

"Yanyan, you remember this too: your grandfather is still alive because of Han Li. Don't have any ulterior motives in the future, understand?"

Dugu Bo turned to look at his granddaughter, his expression more serious than ever before.

Dugu Yan stared blankly at her grandfather, then at Han Li, and nodded solemnly, indicating that she had remembered.

Han Li stood aside, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What kind of situation was this?

Even if you want to thank me, you should at least explain the reason first. I, the person involved, am still confused.

"Why don't we sit down and talk? With all three of you standing, I'm the one who feels out of place."

Guangling took a sip of tea and put the cup back on the table. Although he didn't know what was going on, that didn't stop him from watching the show.

"it is good."

Dugu Bo turned and glanced at him, then sat back down.

"Let's sit down too, Sister Yan."

Han Li glanced at Dugu Yan, who was still somewhat dazed, and greeted her.

"Oh, okay." Dugu Yan realized what was happening and sat back down.

"Senior? Now you should tell me, I'm still completely confused. What role did that water-attribute ninth-grade dragon fungus play in the evolution process?"

Han Li looked at Dugu Bo with some confusion, wanting to know the answer.

"So it was originally called Nine-Grade Dragon Fungus."

Dugu Bo murmured something softly, then his expression returned to normal. He looked at the three of them and began to explain:

"That dragon aura is alright. It's not as powerful as the one I sensed in Xiao Li's martial soul, but it's definitely not weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus."

His expression turned even more serious as he continued, "But the water attribute it possesses, though weak, is quite extraordinary. Just a wisp of its essence has transformed me into who I am today."

As he spoke, he once again activated his Martial Soul, a ball of pale blue soul power emanating from his hand, which he extended towards the center of the group.

"Purification effect?"

Guangling stared at the ball of soul power for a long time. It seemed somewhat familiar, but not quite the same. He asked uncertainly.

"That's right, it's purification, and pure purification, purifying all negative effects. Well, of course, I only inherited this much; my soul power attribute hasn't completely changed, and it recovers very slowly. This only ensures that I'm not affected by the toxins, and perhaps my resistance to negative effects will be stronger in the future."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Han Li was already stunned, his mind racing with "Holy crap!" What kind of chosen one was Dugu Bo? Where was his precious son? Stop sleeping! Open your eyes and see if you've given your luck to the wrong person.

Dugu Bo ate something that wasn't even a divine herb, and his martial soul evolved, but it still looked like the Teng Snake from his memory. That was fine.

The key is that he managed to create a weaker version of the Ultimate Water, which removed the poison and even added female nectar, making it an epic upgrade.

And what about himself?

Evolving a martial soul requires being eroded by the bloodline and aura of the long-dead Dragon King, preventing one from reaching godhood in one step. Is this script wrong?

For a moment, Han Li was filled with deep doubt.
