Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

"Don't worry! I can endure it," Dugu Bo said coldly.

"Grandpa..." Dugu Yan's emerald green eyes were filled with worry and unease.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had truly listened to his words, the azure soul power that had been resting on Dong Qing's fingertips condensed into a sphere under his careful control.

"The Ultimate Solution to All Poisons, go!"

With a low shout, Dong Qing sent a sphere of azure soul power flying directly to an area on Dugu Bo's body where the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King's poison had accumulated, and then slowly seeped into it.

【Ten Thousand Poisons True Solution】is a inherited soul skill similar to 【Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique】. It was created by Bibi Dong when she was young, and she specifically taught it to Dong Qing and Hu Liena to prevent them from being secretly poisoned.

Bibi Dong was, after all, Dong Qing and Hu Liena's teacher; it's impossible that she hadn't taught them anything.

Theoretically speaking, the Ten Thousand Poisons True Solution can cure any kind of poison in the Douluo Continent, but the exact number of poisons it can cure depends on one's own ability to control this soul skill.

In the Douluo Continent, it's not just about killing soul beasts to obtain soul skills; gifted soul masters can also create their own soul skills based on their talent and abilities.

These self-created soul skills can all be passed down.

Over time.

All the major powers in Douluo Continent have their own inherited soul skills, but generally only the three upper sects have such inherited soul skills.

In fact, Dongqing's mastery of the Ten Thousand Poisons True Understanding was taught to him by Bibi Dong herself.

Although he was often bullied by her back then because he was young and active, and because he was learning this soul skill, it was undoubtedly a happy time.

.......

"Those boring soul skills are too much for me to learn," Qian Renxue said, pouting.

Of course she knew about this soul skill, but her six-winged angel martial soul had its own power of light purification, which could dispel any toxins, so she didn't need to learn these detoxification-type soul skills at all.

.......

the other side.

While helping Dugu Bo detoxify, Dong Qing inadvertently fell into memories.

[The flashback timeline is activated; Douluo Calendar, June 6th, 2640]

Four years ago, in Wuhun City, at the Papal Palace.

That year, Dongqing was eight years old, still very young, and his height just reached Bibi Dong's waist.

On this afternoon, Bibi Dong, who had just finished lunch, lay sprawled in the pavilion, her chin propped up on her hand. Her watery eyes revealed a helpless expression as she silently watched Dong Qing practice the Ten Thousand Poisons True Solution in front of her.

At this moment, she felt that Dong Qing was hopeless and could not be carved; he was even having such difficulty in getting started.

"Xiao Qing, come here, your teacher will teach you how to control your soul power." Bibi Dong's slightly magnetic voice rang out, like a mountain spring, making people feel happy as she spoke.

She wore a white and gold patterned fitted gown that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure. The gown made her waist look especially slender, and the gorgeous dress, like a modern bodycon skirt, hugged her alluring curves.

The lower half of the dress was slightly slit, revealing a glimpse of her long, fair legs. These legs were very slender, like two chopsticks, so thin and long that any more would be too plump, and any less would be too thin.

Dongqing obediently went to Bibi Dong's side, only to get a hard flick on the forehead from her.

"Thump!" A seemingly harsh knocking sound rang out.

"Oh... hiss... why did you hit me, teacher?" Dongqing said, covering his head in grievance.

"You're the little idiot I'm beating. Xiao Na is so smart, she can learn it after I teach her once. Xiao Qing, tell me the truth now, are you pretending that you can't learn it?" Bibi Dong asked suspiciously.

My teaching methods should be fine! Why is it so difficult for my little apprentice to learn my self-created soul skills?

Bibi Dong looked at Dong Qing's handsome face and couldn't help but suspect that he had done this on purpose.

"No! Teacher, you're wronging me! I might... be bad at learning these self-created soul skills!" Dong Qing quickly grabbed Bibi Dong's leg and cried out his innocence.

As the saying goes, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease, while the sensible child gets no love." Although this saying is cruel, it is the reality that often suffers.

The reason Dongqing did this involves sunk costs.

Simply put, the more emotional investment the other person makes, the more they will love you.

What is investment?

Dedication means that a person devotes their whole heart and soul to a certain person or thing in order to achieve a desired result.

In the process of investing in each other, he or she needs to spend a lot of time and energy on the other person.

People only care about things they have seriously invested in.

So even though Dongqing had already mastered the Ten Thousand Poisons True Solution, he deliberately pretended that it was difficult for him to learn, in order to enhance Bibi Dong's feelings for him.

Feeling Dongqing's affection for her, Bibi Dong felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

She stretched and slowly straightened her delicate body, then gently picked up eight-year-old Dongqing and hugged him tightly. She pinched his cheek and said, "Little rascal, your teacher will now teach you the Ten Thousand Poisons True Solution. If you still can't learn it, you'll be punished by going hungry tonight."

"Okay, teacher, I will definitely learn it," Dongqing said obediently.

"You said the same thing last time."

"Um, me..."

"Don't try to deny it. Every time this comes up, Xiaoqing, you always make excuses."

"I don't......"

"Xiaoqing, listen to me. There will always be times when your teacher is not by your side. Although you are exceptionally talented, incredibly strong, and far surpass other Soul Masters of your generation, people's hearts are complex, and you may inevitably encounter those who use poison. Be careful not to stumble in this regard."

"Teacher, I understand. I will study hard."

..................

[The flashback timeline ends]

When Dongqing awoke from his past memories, the deadly poison on Dugu Bo's body gradually disappeared as his "True Solution to Ten Thousand Poisons" continued to work.

"Senior Dugu Bo, remember that when you cultivate your soul power in the future, you should incorporate the poison leaking from your martial soul into your own soul bone, so that you will not be infected by the poison again by your own martial soul," Dong Qing reminded him.

Feeling the deadly poison that had accumulated in his body for many years being neutralized and cleared away, Dugu Bo immediately felt a sense of lightness throughout his body.

At the same time, the aches and pains he usually experienced disappeared naturally as the poison was neutralized.

"Your Highness, thank you!" Dugu Bo bowed deeply, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

He admires capable people, especially those who are poison nemesis.

It can be said that in the Douluo Continent, even the Poison Douluo himself sincerely worships him, so other poison users are all "cute little ones" in front of Dong Qing and have no ability to harm him at all.

“There’s no need for that, this is just our deal,” Dong Qing said, shaking his head.

......

After confirming that Dongqing truly possessed the ability to neutralize his own poison, Dugu Bo finally felt at ease entrusting Dugu Yan to Dongqing.

Half an hour passed.

Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan arrived in a hurry, and after completing the detoxification, they left in a hurry again.

“Sister, I’ve been away for so long, it’s time for me to go back and visit my teacher. I won’t disturb you any longer, I’ll take my leave now.” Dong Qing said goodbye.

Just then, Qian Renxue suddenly grabbed him and said, "Don't go."

Chapter 79, The Strange Girl

"What do you mean, sister?"

"I'm barefoot right now. Do you expect me to walk back to Heaven Dou City barefoot, step by step?"

"Sister, can't you fly back?"

"Fly my ass! Even if we don't mention my identity as a direct descendant of the Qian family, don't forget that I have another identity: Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"So, what do you plan to do, sister?"

"Carry me back!"

finally.

Under Qian Renxue's forceful suppression, Dong Qing could only helplessly squat down, letting the blonde woman climb onto his back and then tightly lock her hands around his neck.

"Let's go, let's go back to Tiandou City now!" Qian Renxue whispered in Dong Qing's ear.

"Sigh...you win this time..."

Dongqing glanced at the two long legs wrapped around her waist, and ultimately endured the humiliation of being used as her mount.

Sunset Forest is not far from Tiandou City, about fifty or sixty kilometers away.

Even though it was only fifty or sixty kilometers, this journey took Dong Qing about three and a half hours, not because he was physically exhausted, which caused his slow walking speed.

The main problem was that Qian Renxue was too active along the way. It felt like she was meeting a friend she could talk to for the first time, and she kept bothering Dong Qing.

"Oh, right, sister, there's something else I'd like to ask you," Dongqing suddenly said.

"What is it?" Qian Renxue lay on Dong Qing's back, pinching his ear from time to time, teasing the man who had recently defeated her.

"After I return to the Spirit Hall this time, I plan to establish a new organization." As Dong Qing spoke, a slight tremor appeared in the depths of his pupils.

"A new organization? Xiaoqing, you've grown wings and want to fly solo? Aren't you afraid she'll slap you to death, you unfilial disciple?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"Sister, you've misunderstood. I'm not trying to separate myself from the Spirit Hall; I'm just establishing a new, special organization within the Spirit Hall," Dong Qing explained.

"I see... Xiao Qing, you want freedom. In that case, why don't you come to the Heaven Dou Empire and help your sister? I can use my identity as the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire to arrange a city lord position for you," Qian Renxue suggested.

The identity of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is definitely far greater than that of a city lord, but under Bibi Dong's control, Dong Qing is destined to have little freedom.

In terms of freedom, the city lord who rules over a city is naturally the most carefree, basically able to do whatever he wants.

“No need. Besides, someone can’t leave the teacher’s side. She’s a bit sensitive and cares a lot about what others think. If I leave abruptly, it will upset her.” Dong Qing shook his head slightly, declining Qian Renxue’s offer.

"Hmph, you seem to feel sorry for her." Qian Renxue immediately looked displeased.

"There's nothing I can do, she's my teacher," Dong Qing said helplessly.

Bibi Dong is currently somewhat mentally sensitive and easily provoked. If no one cares about her, she will sooner or later develop an extreme ideology of forcibly unifying the entire continent.

What benefits would the Spirit Hall gain from unifying the continent and establishing the Spirit Empire?

No, there's absolutely no benefit...

Under Bibi Dong's control, the Spirit Hall has now developed into the strongest spirit master organization on the entire continent, with more than 70% of the spirit masters on the continent now loyal to it.

Moreover, the Martial Soul Branch Halls are scattered throughout the entire continent, and even in remote villages, there is a simple Martial Soul Branch Hall.
