Yu Bai's Discovery; Dugu Bo Reveals the Truth!

At noon, on the bustling, crowded main street of Heaven Dou City, a spacious yet understated carriage sped past, heading in the direction of Keling City!

Inside the carriage, Poison Douluo, dressed in dark green, was carefully studying the handwritten Seven-Colored Poison Sutra Yu Bai had previously given him at Dugu Manor. From time to time, a look of delighted realization appeared on his aged face, as though he had gained tremendous inspiration.

It was rather strange, really. Any cultivation method or Dou Technique Xiao Yan had encountered in Yu Bai's past life—the one revealed on the Heavenly Dao Rankings—regardless of whether Xiao Yan had personally learned or mastered it, was apparently treated as knowledge Xiao Yan understood when the Heavenly Dao Rankings transmitted those memories. Thus, so long as it was a cultivation method or Dou Technique Xiao Yan had known or come into contact with on the Dou Qi Continent, Yu Bai could now find it all within the knowledge that had been imparted to him!

Therefore, back at Dugu Manor, when Yu Bai conceived the idea of transforming Dugu Bo's constitution into an artificial acquired Calamity Poison Body, he recalled the contents of the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra and casually copied it out for Dugu Bo to study first!

Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Little Fatty Shi Zheng was sitting cross-legged in meditation, Soul Power surging throughout his body just as Yu Bai's had the day before!

Resting across Little Fatty's legs was a cultivation manual called the Yi Wood Art, its pages fluttering wildly in the violent currents of Soul Power.

The Yi Wood Art might have had a simple name, but it was also an earth-tier high-grade wood-element cultivation method!

The main reason Yu Bai had chosen this particular cultivation method for Little Fatty was because of Little Fatty's martial soul and constitution.

Speaking of which, among all the martial soul systems on Douluo Continent, the ones Yu Bai found truly miraculous now that he had inherited all of Xiao Yan's cultivation experience from before becoming a Dou Emperor were food-type martial souls, as well as martial souls that, after mutation, could become independent intelligent entities!

All other kinds of martial souls were merely manifestations of offensive means, defensive means, speed, strength, and the like. Though they could only be wielded through the form of a martial soul, that was all there was to them!

Food-type martial souls and martial souls with independent intelligence, however, were more like low- and intermediate-level applications of the Law of Creation, while also resembling an extension of the Law of Life!

In Douluo Continent, where the cultivation system was practically the crudest imaginable, they could be considered the most extraordinary and supreme laws!

Therefore, so that Little Fatty would not waste the talent of his food-type martial soul, Yu Bai had specially chosen a wood-element cultivation method centered on Life and creation! It gave Little Fatty one more possibility for the future!

As for Yu Bai, he was already considering how to raise his strength more quickly!

The carriage's ultimate destination was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest. Its route through Keling City was because Yu Bai planned to go home and bring his parents, along with Little Fatty's parents, aboard the carriage so they could temporarily hide at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

He believed that before long, with his help, his dad and mom, Little Fatty's parents, and Dugu Bo would all see their strength soar. By then, what would they have to fear from the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, or any of that nonsense!

The journey of over seventy kilometers took the carriage only two or three hours, and it soon arrived at Keling City.

Once the carriage entered the city, Yu Bai lifted the curtain slightly and glanced outside.

What he saw was that there were nearly twice as many pedestrians on the streets as there had been the day before yesterday! There were also many more unfamiliar people hurrying about!

Seeing this, Yu Bai's expression remained unchanged as he calmly lowered the curtain.

Yet waves churned wildly within his heart!

"Sure enough, faced with a new cultivation system and even greater power, the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, and the Two Great Empires have all begun to make their moves!"

"Even with the pressure of the deliberately spread rumor at the academy yesterday—that a 'Dou Emperor powerhouse' is watching over me—these people still haven't backed down. Aside from not using force or violence openly, they've already started investigating through every means available in secret."

"At this rate, in less than five days, those major powers will almost certainly obtain information about yours truly!"

"Good thing I'm smart. As long as I bring my parents, Uncle Shi, and Auntie Jie to hide in Old Poison's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, we'll be truly safe then!"

Just as he was inwardly celebrating, Dugu Bo, who had been reading the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra across from him, suddenly spoke.

"Kid Bai, the rumor that you're being watched over by a Dou Emperor's wife should be fake, right?"

"And it was most likely spread by you, brat!"

"Am I right?"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo had somehow already put away the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra and was looking at Yu Bai across from him with an amused expression.

Though Douluo Continent's cultivation system was crude, and its power system was even considered comparable to floor tiles somewhere, there was no denying that in this world, no one who had achieved the rank of Titled Douluo could be underestimated!

After all, only a few Titled Douluos emerged among tens of billions of people!

Throughout that process, talent, strength, opportunity, experience... lacking any one of them would leave one as nothing more than a pile of bones by the roadside!

Thus, every Titled Douluo was a true old fox!

Dugu Bo had simply been too excited when Yu Bai first said he could resolve the poison issues in both his and his granddaughter's bodies, causing him not to think many things through carefully!

Now, during this journey in the carriage, Dugu Bo had gradually regained his composure completely. Connecting it with the things Yu Bai had done today, he instantly understood much more. After noticing Yu Bai's small movement just now, he finally spoke up directly.

Meeting Dugu Bo's teasing gaze, Yu Bai complained speechlessly, "You Titled Douluos all seem like you've got eight hundred tricks up your sleeves! I didn't expect Old Poison to see through me so quickly!"

Seeing that even now, this kid not only did not drastically change expression but was actually complaining about him, Dugu Bo's mischievous urge grew even stronger. He asked directly, "Kid Bai, now that this old man has exposed your secret, aren't you afraid that I might suddenly make a move and capture you?"

"You should know that even if you are the Flame Emperor's reincarnation, you were only given the knowledge and cultivation experience of your past life. Your strength wasn't transferred to you!"

"Under the current circumstances, this old man could capture you with ease! Aren't you afraid that I'll use threats and torture to force a confession from you?!"

Hearing Dugu Bo try to scare him, Yu Bai rolled his eyes irritably and said, "Old Poison, putting aside whether capturing me would actually benefit you, when it comes to how well I understand you, old man, perhaps no one on the entire Douluo Continent knows you better than I do apart from yourself!"

"With your personality, Old Poison, once you've said something, you'll definitely follow through! Since you've already said you would wholeheartedly join the Other Shore Sect, then you absolutely meant it sincerely!"

"That much, I can be sure of!"

"Otherwise, why do you think I chose you, Old Poison, as the first powerhouse to invite into the Other Shore Sect?"
