Dugu Bo, an Evil Soul Master?

Dugu Bo realized it himself.

Su Ming didn't know what he had realized, but since it happened during his illness, it was obviously related to his condition.

"Dugu Bo is quite clever; perhaps he's come up with a cure through my Fourth Soul Ring?"

Since he, as an outsider, couldn't figure out the answer, he simply stopped thinking about it and focused on his own work.

Three days later.

Dugu Bo opened his eyes, a hint of disappointment flashing in them.

"It's not a missing Soul Ring slot on the soul; it's the interface between the body and the soul."

Dugu Bo's emotions went through a rollercoaster ride.

He thought he could so easily sense the gap corresponding to the soul part of the Martial Soul.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had finished his seclusion and was sighing, Su Ming took the opportunity to inquire about the situation.

"Sigh, you've seen it all, so I won't hide it from you."

Dugu Bo briefly explained everything to Su Ming except for the timing and frequency of his own illnesses.

This defeat did not completely defeat him.

The flaws in his Martial Soul had troubled him since childhood, and he had tried to solve this problem countless times, failing each time.

This failure is just a small part of his many failures.

Su Ming's expression turned strange after hearing Dugu Bo's idea.

The interface between body and soul?

That doesn't make sense.

At this moment, he urgently asked Dou Er, "Electrolux After the Soul Control Technique separates the soul, can the soul body sense the interface between the body and the soul?"

Then he received an answer.

"There's no such thing as an interface. The soul and body are interconnected. Once the Soul Control Technique ends, it will naturally return to the body. If it's been separated from the physical body for too long, it might become blocked. Without a clear third party, like Martial Soul, you can't see any opening. Moreover, there has to be a barrier between the Martial Soul and the soul, like with Evil Soul Master, for there to be an opening."

Su Ming looked at Dugu Bo.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Dugu Bo, puzzled.

Su Ming's brain was racing.

Judging from Electrolux's answer, it's not hard to conclude that Dugu Bo is very likely Evil Soul Master?

This completely shut down his brain.

Because it really doesn't look like it.

First of all, Dugu Bo does not possess the invincible strength of Evil Soul Master of the same level.

Secondly, Dugu Bo, or his family's cultivation speed, simply couldn't compete with the Evil Soul Master.

Despite having these two reasons, Su Ming still asked.

"Senior, what can you absorb to cultivate? For example, absorbing toxins to increase your Soul Power."

"I must be sick to consume toxins for cultivation." Dugu Bo was speechless.

The drawbacks of his Martial Soul had already made him feel threatened with death; why would he further provoke those drawbacks?

Are you looking for death?

Su Ming was stunned.

Dugu Bo seems to be, perhaps, really is Evil Soul Master?

There's a bug related to cultivation speed, but I don't dare use it.

As for strength, perhaps it's a matter of the path they chose; the Dugu Family uses poison as Control System Soul Master.

To verify his conjecture, Su Ming even tried to sense Dugu Bo by sensing his Faith. He looked at the top of Dugu Bo and found that the old man's head was bubbling with Faith.

Not a buddy.

Are you really Evil Soul Master?

"Your gaze is offensive." Dugu Bo's face darkened.

From his perspective, Su Ming looked at him as if he were looking at some monster.

It's not a scary monster, but a disabled monster.

"Senior, have you ever considered that you might be Evil Soul Master?" Su Ming asked cautiously.

Evil Soul Master?

"I've killed countless people, and I've never heard anyone dare to slander me like this!"

Su Ming's lips twitched.

But that's you.

Faith speaks volumes.

If Dugu Bo weren't unable to perceive Faith, Su Ming would have pointed at his head and said, "You've already declared your Faith, yet you still won't admit it."

Dugu Bo wasn't particularly angry when Su Ming claimed to be Evil Soul Master.

What's the big deal? He's not the type to care about what others think.

On the contrary, Su Ming's statement made him feel that Su Ming might have analyzed some information.

"Tell me, what have you figured out?"

"Senior, you should be able to absorb toxins to increase your Soul Power, right?" Su Ming asked again.

"It should work, but I've never used it before."

Dugu Bo thought about it seriously and reluctantly accepted it.

He squinted at Su Ming.

"That's right. You are indeed Evil Soul Master, but you have too many principles and haven't gone down the path of Evil Soul Master. You've reached your current level through your own will and normal cultivation methods."

Su Ming forced himself not to utter that word.

"I hope what you've said is useful to my current situation." Dugu Bo's face darkened.

In just a few words, Poison Douluo was identified as Evil Soul Master.

"The Martial Soul of Evil Soul Master all have flaws, but they can use these flaws to cultivate quickly. Some can increase their Soul Power by devouring blood, some can do it by killing people, and some can refine vengeful Vengeful Spirit. Senior's flaw is poison. His Martial Soul can expel poison into his body, but he can also cultivate by devouring toxins. If you make good use of this ability to devour toxins, your condition should be alleviated."

"Nonsense!" Dugu Bo roared. "If I rashly absorb toxins to cultivate, the poison in my body will decrease, but the poison in my Martial Soul will worsen, creating a vicious cycle in the future."

Su Ming shook his head.

"Senior, you've overlooked one factor."

What factors?

"Soul."

"Soul?"

Dugu Bo looked thoughtful.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't grasp Su Ming's meaning.

"The minds of Evil Soul Master are all abnormal because when they cultivate, all sorts of resentment surge into their souls along with the increase in their Soul Power, impacting their souls. But at the same time, this also makes their Spiritual Power stronger. Although it's chaotic, their Spiritual Power is genuinely stronger."

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared intently at Su Ming.

"I understand."

It has nothing to do with the improvement of his Spiritual Power; rather, it is related to his previous way of thinking.

"Absorbing toxins to Replenishment the soul—my toxins come from my Soul Ring and Soul Skill, so perhaps Replenishment my soul can compensate for the lack of a soul component in my Soul Ring."

As for being contaminated?

Only those foolish, lazy Evil Soul Master who only know how to win without effort should worry about being corrupted.

These drawbacks can be resolved by making good use of the Evil Soul Master's cultivation methods.

Conventional Evil Soul Master frantically increase their Soul Power, engaging in mindless evil cultivation.

A cunning Evil Soul Master would actively try to eliminate this flaw, such as by restraining himself, reducing the impact on his soul, or by finding ways to cultivate his Spiritual Power.

Dugu Bo was very lucky; he possessed a Head Soul Bone.

His Spiritual Power was always able to keep up with his Soul Power cultivation, which allowed him to barely suppress the poison and persevere until he became Titled Douluo.

I'll trust you this once.

After much consideration, Dugu Bo decided to try it as Su Ming suggested.

"By the way, give this old man a soul separation; that will make his senses clearer."

Su Ming gave an OK sign.

This request was exactly what he wanted.

There was a communication gap between him and Dugu Bo. For example, Dugu Bo did not understand the inherent flaws of the Evil Martial Soul, and Su Ming had also struggled with this when he tried to explain it to him.

If you strip away the soul and let him watch his own toxins flow out through the interface he finds, then it will be natural to reach a consensus.

Dugu Bo prepared himself and began to absorb the toxins within his body.

Suddenly, he started convulsing again.

His body visibly became thinner, his blood and energy began to deplete, and he looked like he had collapsed instantly.

Su Ming nodded as he looked at Dugu Bo's current appearance.

This is what Evil Soul Master should be like!
