Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

"Senior Dugu, please have a seat."

Ling Feng patted the grass next to him, gesturing for Dugu Bo to sit down.

As Dugu Bo approached, he discovered that the young man did not possess the arrogance and conceit typical of scions of powerful families; instead, he displayed an unusual calmness and composure.

"What's wrong? Are you pondering how I can discover the flaws in your martial soul?"

“Young Master Ling Feng, your martial spirit must be more than just the Panlong Staff, right?”

Dugu Bo countered with a question.

"Indeed, but of course I won't tell you now, since we're not that close yet."

"How about we talk about how to get rid of your toxins first?"

"It's not difficult to detoxify your martial spirit. There are two ways. One is to dissipate the poison throughout your body, but that's definitely not the option."

"The second method is to mobilize the toxins that have penetrated deep into the bone marrow to a carrier, such as a piece of soul bone in a certain part of the body."

"Of course, your toxins have been deep in your bone marrow for decades, and removing them would be extremely difficult. It would require various diluted and rare medicinal materials as a catalyst, with my blood as the main medium."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow.

"There's no doubt that my martial soul quality far surpasses that of the Azure Serpent King, so this method is still feasible."

"Of course, I would recommend that you and your granddaughter use the third method, which is the safest method and can raise your strength by one level in a short period of time. Of course, the price to pay is also extremely high."

"That is to use special methods to change the Azure Serpent King's own inheritance, such as evolving it into a stronger martial soul inheritance, so that it is no longer affected by the toxins."

"However, there are very few things that can cause a martial soul to mutate, such as a soul bone, a soul ring that is extremely compatible with one's own martial soul, or certain rare medicinal herbs."

Ling Feng's words were full of probing, hoping that Dugu Bo would take the initiative to speak.

“Cherish medicinal herbs? To be honest, I have recently found a treasure trove of auspicious herbs, but most of the herbs here look very strange, and I don’t know how to use them.”

"Oh? Perhaps that's actually a possibility."

As Ling Feng spoke, Dugu Bo was about to ask a question.

"This matter cannot be rushed. After all, your granddaughter is only 3 years old now. We should wait at least three years until her martial spirit awakens before making any further plans."

"By the way, my cultivation has recently hit a bottleneck, so I should be able to go out and gain some experience. Perhaps I could visit that auspicious place."

Dugu Bo knew he was being too hasty, so he agreed to Ling Feng's request.

He was also amazed; Ling Feng was most likely a genius with innate full soul power.

……

The next morning, Dugu Bo visited Qian Gu Xiao Ye with gifts. Ling Feng also expressed his request to go out and gain experience while Dugu Bo was present.

The result was that as long as Ling Feng could break through one more level in soul power, he could leave.

If Ling Feng breaks through another level, he will reach level 30 and obtain his third soul ring. Logically speaking, going out to hunt soul beasts can also be considered as going out for travel.

Dugu Bo, however, only saw it as a breakthrough to the bottleneck of level 13 or 14.

After all, even if a newly awakened child absorbs a soul ring with the maximum lifespan while in a state of innate full soul power, his level should be around this level.

"alright."

Ling Feng agreed.

Dugu Bo did not stay at the Spirit Hall for more than a few days; instead, he quickly left.

Of course, the higher-ups at the Spirit Hall were well aware of this. Dugu Bo's explanation was that he was worried his granddaughter would be too bored at her friend's house, so he planned to bring her to the Spirit Hall to broaden her horizons.

In the eyes of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups, this was clearly tacit approval of joining the Spirit Hall.

Two weeks later...

While Ling Feng and the others were cultivating, Dugu Bo arrived with a little girl with dark green hair and dark green eyes.

Chapter 22 New Year's Eve, Ling Feng Breaks Through Level 30

The little girl wasn't short, and she was somewhat withdrawn.

She was being led by the hand by Dugu Bo, and upon seeing Ling Feng and the others, she instinctively tried to dodge them.

"Senior Dugu, you've arrived."

Ling Feng and his group stepped forward to greet them.

"Yes, this is my granddaughter, Dugu Yan. You can call her Yan Yan."

"Yanyan, these are the friends I told you about. You will become very good friends with them in the future."

Dugu Yan nodded blankly, clearly not understanding the meaning of the word "friend" since she had never had any playmates.

The first to approach her was Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue has become much more cheerful now and has gradually come to understand the fact that her mother does not like her.

Upon seeing a little girl who resembled her younger self, she was immediately filled with sympathy.

"Hello, Yanyan, my name is Qian Renxue, you can call me Xiaoxue or Xue'er."

"From now on, I'll be your friend. I'll protect you in the Spirit Hall, and no one will be able to bully you."

Looking at Qian Renxue's radiant smile, Dugu Yan felt as if she were a true angel descended to earth.

"Hello, Xiaoxue, my name is Dugu Yan."

Since they were all around the same age, the group quickly became friends.

Dugu Yan followed suit and began cultivating alongside them.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo was also gratified. Perhaps he should find a place to retire. It would definitely be better for Yan Yan to be here than with him.

Seeing Dugu Yan's genuine smile, Dugu Bo was also greatly moved.

The Spirit Hall is definitely the best place for me to retire. Putting aside the Hall of Offerings, once I join the Spirit Hall, I will become the fourth elder of the Spirit Hall.

This identity will not only allow Dugu Yan to fully integrate into this circle, but will also provide her with a better path for cultivation in the future.

The path of cultivation is incredibly difficult, and Dugu Bo, who achieved the title of Title Douluo through his own efforts, naturally had a deep understanding of this.

Having gone through those arduous journeys himself, he naturally didn't want his descendants to go through them again.

Having withstood frost and dew, and cleared away thorns and brambles, a small piece of land has been acquired.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in golden armor appeared beside Dugu Bo.

"Old Poisoner, what are your thoughts on life this time?"

The person who arrived was Yue Guan, sent by Qian Xunji.

Knowing that the two had some conflicts, the intention was to help them resolve their differences peacefully.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, what brings you here? Looking for another beating?"

"Don't think that just because you and Old Ghost became Title Douluo a few years earlier than me, I'm not afraid of you if we really fight."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

"Oh dear, what's the point of all this fighting and killing all day?"

"Old poisoner, we're all old now, we don't have the spirit we had when we were young anymore."

"Look at your granddaughter, she's doing just fine here. She has her own friends, and her food, clothing, and shelter are all top-notch. Isn't she a million times more comfortable than living with an old man like you?"

Although Dugu Bo had anticipated what Yue Guan was going to say next, he unusually did not refute it.

Indeed, if we set aside his personal grudges with Yue Guan, the Spirit Hall would be the best place for him to settle down.

"So, do you want to join the Spirit Hall? If you do, you will become the fourth elder of the Spirit Hall."

"Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you. There are quite a few level 89 peak Soul Douluos in the Spirit Hall who are all vying for the position of Fourth Elder."

"For example, Serpent Spear, Porcupinefish, Sea Turtle, and Spirit Kite, all of them are confident that they can break through to the Title Douluo realm within a few years."

"If you arrive late, you'll have to wait your turn."

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment.

"Let me consider this matter. Prepare a house for me as a place to stay. I will be staying in Wuhun City for the time being."

"By the way, the personal grudges between you, me, and Old Ghost must also be settled."

Chrysanthemum Douluo pinched her orchid-like fingers, her laughter sharp and chilling.

"Hehehehehe..."

"You old poisoner, you've been treating me, Yue Guan, like your servant."

"It just so happens that Old Ghost and I haven't made a move in a long time. It would be perfect to shut you down."

Ling Feng didn't know Dugu Bo's specific choice, only that Dugu Bo had settled in a very high-class place.

Moreover, not long after, the sounds of a battle between Title Douluos could be heard outside Wuhun City.

Since then, Dugu Bo has been cultivating in seclusion in Wuhun City, occasionally bringing Dugu Yan to Lingfeng's place to play.

This situation lasted for a month, and Dugu Yan had become accustomed to being at Ling Feng's house.

"Brother Lingfeng, my grandpa said that tomorrow is the New Year, and he asked me to ask you if I could have New Year's Eve dinner with him at your house?"

New Year's Eve dinner?

Ling Feng was slightly stunned. Calculating the time, it seemed that it really was almost Chinese New Year.

During this time, in order to break through level 30 as soon as possible and get the opportunity to go out and train, he completely forgot about the flow of time in the outside world.

It seems like tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

According to the rules of Wuhun City, on New Year's Eve, the whole family usually prepares a large table full of food.

In previous years, Ling Feng's family would usually consist of his parents, and Qian Renxue, Jin Chen, and Qian Xunji would also come.

However, the other elders only came once, while Jin'e, Qianjun, and Jiangmo Douluo would come every year.

Based on past practice, this year should be similar.

However, this year is the year that Ling Feng and his two companions awaken their martial souls and display their talents. Perhaps Qian Daoliu will bring a few of his retainers to visit Ling Feng's home.

"Yanyan, of course! I'll ask my mom to make a few extra portions of your favorite sweet and sour pork and braised chicken wings, okay?"
