This Method is Detrimental to Heaven's Harmony, But Not to Family Harmony!

Boom!

Before the blazing white orb of light could explode, the unicorn had already collapsed with a cry. Its four legs twitched, foam poured from its mouth, and it lost the ability to fight.

Dugu Bo leaped down somewhat disappointedly and muttered:

"Still not enough. I have a formidable physique, but no corresponding powerful Soul Skill. Without using poison, I have no move that can kill an enemy in one strike."

He suddenly sensed two gazes fixed on him and whipped around.

Sure enough, Ye Qingxian and Lin Xiao were staring at him, their eyes wide as saucers. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Dugu Bo's old face reddened.

"Ahem, This Old Man has never tried close-quarters combat before. I only intended to have a taste, but I never expected to become so engrossed."

That feeling of fists landing on flesh was truly addictive!

"Ye Family Head, hurry and absorb the Soul Ring."

Dugu Bo quickly changed the subject.

Ye Qingxian nodded. Soul Power gathered in her palm, and she struck the Snow Hoof Unicorn Horse's temple, killing it. A Deep Black Soul Ring then rose into the air.

Ye Qingxian sat down cross-legged and began absorbing it.

Dugu Bo and Lin Xiao stood guard nearby.

Lin Xiao glanced at Dugu Bo and spoke:

"Senior Dugu, are you troubled because you don't have a powerful and effective Soul Skill aside from releasing poison?"

"Are you wondering how infuriating it would feel to be unable to exert any strength if your poison were ever countered?"

"Ah, if only there were a Soul Skill that could unleash astonishing power even if the poison were neutralized. What a pity that all nine of your Soul Rings are already full..."

Dugu Bo's face darkened.

Lin Xiao's earlier words had made his heart itch with anticipation, while his later words stabbed him right in the chest.

He had really picked the sore spot!

What, could you give me another Soul Skill or something?

"Lin Xiao, if your skin is itching, just say so. This Old Man will loosen it up for you!"

Dugu Bo's tone was hostile.

The look he gave Lin Xiao was even filled with danger.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao sighed regretfully.

"Is that so? I had originally planned to introduce you, Poison Douluo, to a powerful Self-Created Soul Skill. Its might is astonishing, and it could even serve as a trump card against enemies. But it seems I was merely being sentimental."

With that, Lin Xiao appeared dejected.

He murmured, "It seems I can only teach it to Sister Yanyan."

Dugu Bo first looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously.

Could a mere boy teach him a Self-Created Soul Skill?

And he had the nerve to boast that it possessed astonishing power and could be used as a trump card?

Who would believe that?

Neither of them said anything.

A quarter of an hour passed in silence.

Dugu Bo glanced at Lin Xiao from the corner of his eye. Lin Xiao was focused on observing Ye Qingxian's condition, showing no intention of taking the initiative to tell him anything.

Dugu Bo could not hold back any longer.

After struggling for a moment, he spoke in a gentle voice:

"Little Lin Xiao, tell me about that Poison Burst Technique. What are its particulars?"

"After all, you said you wanted to teach it to Yanyan. What if the Soul Skill has some hidden flaw? Poison explosions and such sound dangerous at first hearing!"

"This dignified Titled Douluo can naturally help you inspect it."

Lin Xiao shot Dugu Bo a sidelong glance.

He really wanted to say, Senior Dugu, why were you so arrogant before and so deferential afterward?

But considering the enormous difference between them in terms of strength, Lin Xiao ultimately chose to be magnanimous.

"Poison Douluo, do you know about the Flame Burst Technique?"

"You mean the one you used earlier? Its power was indeed astonishing. With the element of surprise, it could even turn defeat into victory and reverse the course of battle!"

Dugu Bo's voice was full of anticipation.

"Does the Poison Burst Technique have power like that too?"

Lin Xiao shook his head. Before Dugu Bo could reveal a disappointed expression, he declared firmly:

"The Poison Burst Technique is even stronger!"

"Especially the Poison Burst Technique you use, Senior Dugu!"

Excluding nuclear explosions, the principles of explosions could mainly be divided into physical explosions and chemical explosions.

Physical explosions occurred when changes in the state of matter caused a sudden change in pressure. Put simply, within a confined space and an extremely short period, matter was rapidly compressed or expanded, forming an explosion.

Chemical explosions occurred when matter rapidly oxidized or decomposed, causing temperature and pressure to rise rapidly, indirectly affecting its physical state and forming an explosion.

Lin Xiao classified the various explosion-type Soul Skills.

Chemical explosions: Corpse Burst Technique.

Physical explosions: Flame Burst Technique, Ice Burst Technique, and Ring Detonation.

The most common type of physical explosion was formed by releasing compressed energy.

Tang Hao's Ring Detonation was the most ferocious because the Soul Rings contained the most energy, while the Soul Rings themselves were constructed from vast amounts of energy.

As for the Poison Burst Technique, Lin Xiao believed it lay somewhere between a physical and chemical explosion. After the sudden explosion, it would not only produce a powerful Shockwave.

The most terrifying aspect was that the poison would suddenly spread at Extreme Speed!

It would bring Dugu Bo's advantage in poison to its absolute limit.

It was comparable to an enhanced biological weapon!

Lin Xiao told Dugu Bo all of these insights.

Dugu Bo's eyes widened completely!

He looked at Lin Xiao in horror.

This young scoundrel! What a vicious heart!

He would not even dare imagine such a ruthless technique!

It was easy to predict that once the Poison Burst Technique was used, with Dugu Bo's strength at the Titled Douluo level, the terrifying Deadly Poison formed by the stacking of nine poison-based Soul Rings, and the explosive effect that caused it to spread at Extreme Speed—

In an instant, an area with a radius of a Hundred Li would become purgatory!

Before long,

White bones would be exposed in the wild, and no roosters would crow for a thousand li!

Lin Xiao said calmly, "Of course, compared to the power produced by the explosion itself, the area-wide destruction caused by the Deadly Poison spreading at Extreme Speed because of the explosion seems to be much greater."

Dugu Bo fell silent.

His gaze remained fixed on Lin Xiao, as if he wanted to see into the depths of the Youth's heart. Was he an enraged Vajra, seeking to punish evil and promote good, or a hellish Rakshasa, killing without batting an eye?

He could even think of such a method that harmed Heaven's harmony!

Dugu Bo's stare made Lin Xiao uncomfortable, and he said helplessly:

"Of course, Senior Dugu, if you think it's too dangerous, just pretend I never said anything."

"Don't use such a technique in the future either."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Dugu Bo threw back his head and laughed heartily. "Use it? Why wouldn't I?"

"On the battlefield, life is as worthless as grass. Between life and death, even a Titled Douluo is nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If I die, who will look after Yanyan?"

"This method harms Heaven's harmony, but not the harmony of the family!"

Lin Xiao's gaze sharpened slightly.

He had heard Dugu Bo mention the word "battlefield."

It seemed Dugu Bo also knew that the Poison Burst Technique would be the greatest Killing Weapon on a large-scale battlefield—a true technique of national Extinction.

Lin Xiao reminded him:

"Senior Dugu, unless absolutely necessary, you still shouldn't use it against ordinary enemies. Or you could control the amount of poison and make the power somewhat weaker."

"Whatever you do, don't accidentally hurt the innocent."

Dugu Bo waved his hand.

"This Old Man naturally understands. I'm not a slaughterer, nor do I want Yanyan's grandfather to become one. Do you really need to remind me of that?"

"This move is ruthless enough. After we return, we'll study it carefully!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo could not help glancing at Lin Xiao again.

"Among the Five Worldly Poisons, how could any poison compare to the poison in your heart, boy?"

"Between the two of us, who is the Poison Douluo here?!"

Lin Xiao smiled faintly.

"I'm inherently kind. Everyone knows that."

"If I ever commit some earth-shattering mistake one day, it should only be because someone forced me into it."

"It wouldn't be my fault!"

Dugu Bo's heart shuddered.

He thought to himself:

This boy looks gentle, but he's truly a dangerous man. If someone drives him mad in the future, I'm afraid he'll drag everyone in the world down with him!
