Was That You, Bibi Dong?!
After instructing Yun Lan, Yu Xiaogang rushed home. It's been a month; Boss Flender should have received his letter by now. He wondered how Flender would react. He was really looking forward to it! Far away in the Sunset Forest, in a meteorite crater shrouded in poisonous fog, grew a vibrant green Blue Silver Grass. It looked extremely fragile and small, but it still managed to pass through the poisonous fog and enter.
At this moment, a green figure streaked through the poisonous fog, leaving a trail. The fog was usually filled with poisonous plants and flowers, so a Blue Silver Grass stood out quite abruptly.
Dugu Bo frequently visits this place and is extremely familiar with every flower and plant along the way. Today, when he returned to his own medicinal garden Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, to suppress the Martial Soul Poison Backlash, he suddenly saw Blue Silver Grass appear at the edge of the poisonous mist.
"Huh? Why is Blue Silver Grass growing here? Oh well, it's just weeds anyway, maybe it's mutated! It's more important to suppress the Martial Soul Poison Backlash. We must find a way to cure the Martial Soul Poison! Ling Er is also showing signs of Martial Soul Poison Backlash."
Dugu Bo glanced at the Blue Silver Grass and then ignored it. After all, Blue Silver Grass was too common on the Douluo Continent; it could be found everywhere. This particular Blue Silver Grass was emerald green, probably because it had adapted to the poisonous fog here. Anyway, it was a minor matter.
Now, Dugu Bo's most important task is to find a way to save his son, Dugu Bo's genius son who reached the Soul King realm at the age of 30. He was initially happy, but his son, like him, has started Martial Soul Poison Backlash, even more severe than his son's! Dugu Bo only experienced the Martial Soul Poison Backlash when he was Soul Douluo. An endless bitterness welled up in his heart. Why is his Dugu Bo lineage so miserable? Why is God targeting his poor son?
After Dugu Bo disappeared into the distance, Yun Lan's illusory figure appeared above the Blue Silver Grass that was adapted to poison. Staring at the distant meteorite crater, a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself:
"After investing so many Blue Silver Grass seeds, finally one Blue Silver Grass has adapted to the poisonous fog here. It seems that Dugu Bo's use of the Way of Poison has its merits. However, Dugu Bo just mentioned that his son also experienced Martial Soul Poison Backlash? It looks like we should tell the Creator. This is a good opportunity to get closer to Dugu Bo!"
Yun Lan looked down at the emerald green Blue Silver Grass. Under the subtle stimulation of Life Soul Power, one emerald green poisonous Blue Silver Grass after another began to grow, intending to fill the entire poisonous mist space.
"Soon, very soon we will have the samples and seeds of the Immortal Herb that the Creator needs. The Creator's Ice Fire Yin Yang Well will also have Immortal Herb! It would be too wasteful for Tang San to consume the Immortal Herb directly!"
Yun Lan watched as the Blue Silver Grass Network spread forward in an encircling pattern. She glanced at the projection in the direction of the meteorite crater and then disappeared. Now, Yun Lan needed to focus her main energy on protecting the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. After all, it was something Yu Xiaogang had ordered her to do, and she had to complete it! She couldn't let her creator down.
In Yu Xiaogang's study, Bibi Dong looked through the cultivation files that Yu Xiaogang had created for Su Yuntao and the other three. Bibi Dong clicked her tongue in amazement and said:
"Xiaogang! You've finally fulfilled your promise. There are no useless Martial Soul, only useless Soul Master!"
Bibi Dong took out Su Yuntao's Martial Soul cultivation progress file and looked at it carefully, her eyes filled with surprise.
Name: Su Yuntao Age: 10 years old
Soul Power Level: Innate Soul Power Level 2 (Current Soul Power Level 10) Before becoming an apprentice, I had cultivated Soul Power of Level 6 for more than 3 months.
Martial Soul: Hunting Wolf (tentative name: Wolf Dog)
Martial Soul Evolution Direction: Gale Wind Wolf or Storm Wolf Martial Soul Attribute: Wind
Physical Strength: Theoretically, the First Soul Ring takes 680 years to evolve (requires verification). For the First Soul Ring Soul Hunting, it's recommended to use the Gale Wind Wolf or Storm Wolf. (This requires Martial Soul to determine if absorbing a superior-level Soul Beast's bloodline affects the Martial Soul Evolution.)
Bibi Dong looked at Su Yuntao, a child with innate level 2 Soul Power, and her eyes gleamed. She was especially surprised to see that his First Soul Ring was theoretically 680 years old, and that he had increased his Soul Power by 4 levels in just 3 months. This cultivation speed was comparable to some young geniuses with innate level 6-7 Soul Power.
Bibi Dong now wanted to see Yu Xiaogang even more. She continued to look through the Martial Soul cultivation progress files of Si Si Wang Dachui Xiao Zhan. None of them had an Innate Soul Power exceeding level 5. The one with the best talent was Xiao Zhan, Innate Soul Power barely reached level 5.
After reviewing the Martial Soul cultivation progress files of every student in the Elite Class of the Junior Soul Master Academy, Bibi Dong was amazed. She was astonished that so many cultivation prodigies had emerged in such a remote little city! "As expected of the man I've chosen! I knew you would succeed Xiaogang! I really want to be with you forever! Ah! How embarrassing!"
Bibi Dong put down the file in her hand, probably thinking of something embarrassing, covered her face with her hands, and shook her head slightly, acting a little coy, just like a young girl experiencing her first love.
Yu Xiaogang toured the Sect Residence to check on the construction progress, and also entrusted the Soft Bone Rabbit and Blue Silver Grass to Yun Lan's care. He continued to observe the ongoing effects of the Chaos Energy in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well on animal and Plant Soul Beast.
Yu Xiaogang carried the Soft Bone Rabbit that had sacrificed itself for his experiment home, intending to cook a whole rabbit feast. As he flew back to his courtyard, thinking about how to deal with the Soft Bone Rabbit, he saw a carriage parked inside, with two masked people standing at the door.
Yu Xiaogang was quite puzzled. He only knew a few people in Notting City, so who could have come to see him? However, since someone had come, as the host, he had to entertain them. He, Yu Xiaogang, was no longer the useless character from the original story; his Mental Power was not to be underestimated!
Two of Bibi Dong's confidants were stunned to see Yu Xiaogang floating in the air. After all, in the Douluo Continent, apart from Titled Douluo who can fly without Martial Soul, other Soul Master rely on their Martial Soul or flying Soul Skill.
They almost thought Yu Xiaogang had become Titled Douluo; if they hadn't gathered the latest news about Yu Xiaogang, they might have been terrified.
When they saw Yu Xiaogang return, they bowed respectfully with one hand on their chest and said, "Welcome back! Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, our master has been waiting for you for a long time."
After they finished speaking, they gestured for him to come in. Yu Xiaogang was a little speechless. Whose territory was this anyway? This was his house! Why was Yu Xiaogang being treated like a guest? But he decided to see who they were! "Hmm! Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea? You look like you're standing here looking tired!"
Yu Xiaogang lightly landed in front of the courtyard gate, used his Mental Power to control the Soft Bone Rabbit and send it into the kitchen, where it awaited his favor. As the master of the place, Yu Xiaogang casually extended an invitation to the two guards.
They were startled by Yu Xiaogang's sudden display of power, but as Bibi Dong's close confidantes, they quickly recovered and exchanged glances, saying, "No need! Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, we are merely our master's guards; we can stay here. Grandmaster, please go inside quickly! Don't keep our master waiting!"
Yu Xiaogang wasn't angry at being rebuffed. He immediately recognized the two women as masked and dressed in tight-fitting clothes, clearly his trusted Dark Guard. He was just being polite, as a modern person; Yu Xiaogang wanted to see who was looking for him, especially since this was a remote mountain village.
Walking into the Small Wooden House, Yu Xiaogang saw the Soul Guidance Lamp lit in the study. He went straight to his study and pushed open the door. He looked up and saw a very familiar figure. Yu Xiaogang froze, somewhat incredulous, and exclaimed excitedly, "Is... is it you? Bibi Dong!?"
Whew! The female lead finally met the main character. This is my first time writing a plot, so it's a bit drawn out. I could have filled several chapters with the transitional chapters about Nottingham, but I didn't expect to learn how to pad out my writing before I did! Hehe!
By the way, I recommend a One Piece One Piece book by a friend; you can check it out if you're interested.
