One blade of grass, one hammer, one Soft Bone Rabbit—their child's Martial Soul was the Light Dragon God Butterfly!

This proved one thing: Martial Souls could be bestowed by gods.

But would Dugu Bo accept such a proposal?

Good grief, I asked you to save me, not cut off my lineage!

His Martial Soul would be replaced outright. Did he still want anyone to inherit the Dugu Family's Jade Phosphorous Serpent?

Fortunately, Dugu Bo had no idea what Neuvillette was thinking at the moment. If he did, he would probably be very hesitant and conflicted!

A God-given Martial Soul, no matter how poor, could not possibly be that bad. It would certainly be far stronger than his family's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. But this was his family's inherited Martial Soul!

Dugu Bo had even cultivated this Martial Soul to the realm of a Titled Douluo!

How could he simply cut it off?

Between life and inheritance, Dugu Bo would most likely choose the former. If he had been alone, however, he would most likely choose the latter.

Dugu Bo was not someone who dragged his feet.

After hearing Neuvillette's words, he rose without hesitation and said, "Let's go now!"

After saying that, he did not look at Neuvillette or Lakesius, merely heading out of the hall on his own.

"You brat, you scared this old man half to death. Do you know how dangerous that was just now?"

"If I'd known things would turn out like this, I never would have brought you here!"

Lakesius spoke softly into Neuvillette's ear. His entire body had gone numb!

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I know what I'm doing!"

"You know nothing..."

Lakesius curled his lip and said dissatisfiedly.

No matter how weak Dugu Bo was, he was still a Titled Douluo, not someone a Soul Douluo like him could offend.

Yet his grandson kept courting death like mad in front of Dugu Bo...

What surprised him was that Neuvillette really did know about the problem with Dugu Bo's Martial Soul!

No matter how Lakesius thought about it, he simply could not understand.

How long had this brat even been away from home?

He had never even left Suotuo City or met Dugu Bo, yet he somehow knew about the other man's Treasure Land and his problem!

After chatting briefly, grandfather and grandson rose and chased after Dugu Bo in the direction he had gone.

Heaven Dou City was not far from Sunset Forest. In just over a quarter of an hour, the three arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

This was Neuvillette's first time entering a Soul Beast Forest. Before this, he had never hunted a Soul Beast.

Most of the Soul Beasts on the outskirts of Sunset Forest were ten-year Soul Beasts. None of them dared approach the three.

After another quarter of an hour, they arrived beneath a mountain range. The place was covered by a poison formation; even a Soul Sage could be poisoned if they were careless.

Dugu Bo had set it up to stop Soul Beasts from climbing the mountain and ruining the ecosystem of this Treasure Land.

Even at the foot of the mountain, Neuvillette could sense the dense aura of ice and fire. It seemed Dugu Bo had not been playing tricks—this really was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"These are Antidote Pills. I laid the poison here myself. Without them, even a Soul Douluo..."

Dugu Bo took out two pill-like medicines from somewhere and handed them to Neuvillette and Lakesius as he spoke.

The two looked at each other. Lakesius hesitated; Dugu Bo's things were not something one could eat carelessly!

Neuvillette, on the other hand, had no such concerns. So what if they were poison?

Without hesitation, he swallowed one.

"Grandpa, you should trust Your Excellency Dugu. Though his reputation is not very good, he has always been upright and honorable. He would never do something like poisoning people."

Hearing that, Dugu Bo did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was this brat praising him or mocking him?

He simply said nothing, clasped his hands behind his back, raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle, and pretended to be an expert!

His heart was utterly calm!

The Antidote Pills were genuine Antidote Pills, with no tricks involved whatsoever.

Lakesius sighed. His grandson was still too young. One should not harbor the intent to harm others, but one must guard against others' intentions to harm them!

It was normal that he did not understand this principle yet.

After thinking for a moment, Lakesius gritted his teeth and ultimately swallowed the Antidote Pill as well.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo said nothing and continued toward the mountaintop on his own.

Before long, the three reached the summit. The scenery changed abruptly. The perfectly normal mountaintop looked as though it had been struck by a meteor from beyond the heavens, leaving behind an enormous crater.

The surrounding mountains formed eight sides, while the center was a basin.

Looking down, they saw springs of Hydro Blue and fiery red intertwined with one another. Even the well-traveled Lakesius could not help but exclaim, "This really is a Treasure Land!"

Though he did not understand its true value, the Soul Power... the energy here was far, far stronger than outside!

"Wow, Neuvillette, is this the place full of energy you mentioned?"

Focalors stopped playing dead and cried out in surprise. The energy here was simply too dense!

It was more than enough to restore her human form, and it could even restore most of her strength!

She had not spoken to Neuvillette for days, afraid that the moment he heard her voice, he would start thinking about little Oceanids and Little Hydro Dragons again.

So these past few days, she had chosen to play dead...

"Yes. What do you think, Focalors? Can you absorb the energy here?"

Neuvillette asked excitedly.

"I... I think so."

As the God of Water, a demon god, of course she could absorb this energy. It was just that Neuvillette was at it again!

Was his desire for revenge really that strong?

"Good. Then my trip wasn't for nothing."

Neuvillette nodded, joy filling his heart. His short-lived wife was about to come back to life!

He was a little excited, and a little thrilled as well!

"This guy..."

"Wait a moment. I'll help Dugu Bo solve the problem with his Martial Soul first..."

After saying that, Neuvillette came back to his senses and looked at Dugu Bo and Lakesius.

"This is my Treasure Land. Come on, let's head down."

Dugu Bo jumped straight down. As a Titled Douluo, he could remain in the air briefly—that was, hover rather than fly.

At present, without a Flight Soul Skill, most Titled Douluos could only hover and could not fly.

Only those above Level 95 could fly briefly through the air.

There were three reasons. First, Titled Douluos at this time had no Soul Cores. Though their Soul Power was powerful, they could not squander it freely.

Second, the Douluo Continent's suppression of Soul Masters was much stronger at this time than it would be ten thousand years later!

Third, the Titled Douluos of this era did not have flying Soul Tools.

As for the second point, the current Douluo Continent could withstand a battle between three First Level Gods, and even the appearance of a God King.

But ten thousand years later, let alone a God King, even a First Level God could not remain for long.

The Douluo Continent twenty thousand years later was even more unbearable...
