Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

If she really said it, the still-young Dugu Yan would probably be traumatized for life...

Forget it. Better wait until she was a little older before telling her...

Yue Guan did not mind being mistaken for a woman at all. He was even a little pleased, covering his mouth as he chuckled.

"I never expected Old Poison Master's granddaughter to have such a sweet mouth. Little girl, you mustn't learn from that old stubborn fool. Women should be a little more delicate..."

"Ahem, Elder Ju, let's discuss something else."

Qian Renxin promptly interrupted him and continued, "After absorbing the Immortal Herb, what is your Soul Power Level now?"

"After absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, I leaped straight to Rank Ninety-Six Titled Douluo."

Yue Guan spoke with great excitement, so excited that he even forgot to raise his ever-present orchid finger.

He had only been a Rank Ninety-Four Titled Douluo before. Rising two ranks at once was simply a heaven-sent opportunity!

Qian Renxin was quite satisfied. "Very good. Once you help me hunt a spirit ring, you can enter the Worship Hall as well."

"No matter where I, Yue Guan, may be, I will never forget the Young Master's kindness. Without the Young Master, I would never have achieved what I have today."

Yue Guan spoke with great social finesse,

but his words were also filled with genuine emotion.

Having been treated like a freak since childhood, he had rarely encountered anyone who sincerely treated him well.

"No need to be so polite."

Qian Renxin replied, quite pleased by Yue Guan's sensible attitude. "How are Elder Gui and Elder Spirit Kite doing with their seclusion?"

"Them? One's Soul Power Level is too low, while the other's Immortal Herb was not as compatible as mine. They'll probably need a few more days." Yue Guan answered.

They stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for another two days.

Only then did Gui Mei and Ling Yuan finally emerge.

With the help of the Nine-Rank Lingzhi, Gui Mei, who had already reached the peak of Rank Ninety-Four, successfully broke through to Rank Ninety-Five.

More importantly, some of the impurities within his mutated Martial Soul had been removed. Though it had not undergone something as dramatic as Martial Soul Evolution, its upper limit had still risen somewhat.

Ling Yuan, who had absorbed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, likewise gained two ranks of Soul Power, reaching the peak of Rank Ninety-Three.

Her Martial Soul also underwent a minor mutation, changing from the original Blazing Raptor into a Phoenix-Blood Variant. Its appearance became more exquisite, the power of its flames increased severalfold, and the Martial Soul's potential rose dramatically.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your cultivation."

The two knelt and bowed, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.

Spirit Kite Douluo in particular knew that without Qian Renxin's Immortal Herb, she would never have had any hope of becoming a Super Douluo in this lifetime.

Just then,

a figure burst through the roof of the wooden house by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, jade-green Soul Power piercing through half the sky.

"From this day onward, This Old Man is the true Poison Douluo. I will never again allow others to bully me at will!"

Dugu Bo declared spiritedly.

His hidden injuries had completely faded, his Soul Core had begun to take shape, and his whole body felt incomparably refreshed, as though he had become decades younger.

It had been a long time since he had felt so clear-headed and invigorated!

"Stinky Grandpa, you finally came out of seclusion." Dugu Yan spoke with a hint of grievance.

"Hahaha, I've been busy with seclusion lately and neglected my precious granddaughter." Dugu Bo hurried over, wanting to embrace Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan gave a haughty snort, hid behind Qian Renxin, and made a face at him.

"Senior, have you already finished condensing your Soul Core?"

Qian Renxin asked.

This was one of his most important current areas of soul master research, no less significant than the Immortal Herbs.

Without another word, Dugu Bo opened his mental defenses and allowed Qian Renxin to inspect his dantian with his spiritual power.

Leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Heading to Star Dou Great Forest to Hunt Spirit Rings

Inside the dantian,

the green crystal had become completely transparent, though parts of it remained uneven and irregular.

Poison mist swirled around the crystal like rings around a planet.

It seems the Soul Core has been initially condensed. Dugu Bo truly is quite talented.

Qian Renxin withdrew his spiritual power.

Though Dugu Bo was often mocked by others, his talent was actually quite impressive.

After all, before him, no one had ever attained the title of Titled Douluo through poison. He could be considered a pioneer in history.

"Old Poison Master, it seems you've improved quite a bit as well." Yue Guan said with interest.

Dugu Bo looked at Yue Guan and unconsciously frowned.

The two had once been fierce rivals. In their many battles, he had been beaten badly, but at least he had still been able to fight back.

Yet although his own strength had improved greatly, why did Yue Guan now give him the instinctive feeling that he was impossible to contend with...

"You... broke through to Rank Ninety-Six?"

Dugu Bo asked tentatively.

Both were Titled Douluo.

He knew that advancement became increasingly difficult at higher ranks. Rising two ranks at once was no different from a fool's dream.

But if Yue Guan had only risen to Rank Ninety-Five, he would never possess such oppressive force. After all, his combat strength had always been among the weakest of Titled Douluo at the same rank.

"Thanks to our Young Master's blessing, he gave me a hundred-thousand-year Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

Yue Guan said in a coquettish manner, "Not only did it raise my Soul Power by two ranks, it even evolved my Martial Soul. I'm terrifyingly strong now."

From Yue Guan,

Dugu Bo learned of the uses of the Immortal Herbs in this treasured land, clicking his tongue repeatedly.

He had long known that these medicinal herbs were extraordinary, but their effects still far exceeded his expectations.

"Hehe, Old Poison Master, you've really suffered a huge loss this time. You used your eyes like light bulbs, yet you didn't even know how to use Immortal Herbs when they were right in front of you." Yue Guan mocked.

"What others gain is not my loss. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have dared use the Immortal Herbs here either."

Dugu Bo was rather open-minded. "Besides, little friend, you kept your promise and helped me resolve the Jade Scale Toxin issue. You even greatly increased my strength. I'm happy enough already, so how could I call it a loss?"

"That sounds almost human." Gui Mei nodded in agreement.

Qian Renxin said, "Senior Poison Douluo, we'll take our leave first. I still need to go to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a spirit ring."

"Now that you mention it, seeing the way you carry yourself, I nearly forgot that you're only a child who has just awakened his Martial Soul..."

Dugu Bo sighed. "With your abilities, you can probably absorb a thousand-year spirit ring as your first spirit ring, right?"

Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Ling Yuan exchanged looks and chuckled.

Even Qian Renxin's expression became strange.

A thousand-year spirit ring? Who was he looking down on?

"What are you laughing at? Could This Old Man be wrong?"

Dugu Bo was equally puzzled. A purple first spirit ring was already shocking beyond belief; even he had never seen one before.

Ordinary soul masters could only challenge a thousand-year spirit ring for their third spirit ring.

It was only because of Qian Renxin's identity as a Deity Inheritor that Dugu Bo dared make such a bold guess.

Yue Guan glanced at Qian Renxin, seemingly seeking his permission.

Qian Renxin thought for a moment.

Since Dugu Bo already knew he was a Deity Inheritor, it would not matter if he revealed a little more. He nodded.

Yue Guan stepped forward. "Old Poison Master, our Young Master has Innate Level Thirty, along with the support of Immortal Herbs. A thousand-year spirit ring is beneath his notice."

Innate Level Thirty?

Dugu Bo was stunned.

The Soul Master World had always referred to Innate Level Ten Soul Power as Innate Full Soul Power.

Could such terrifying talent as Innate Level Thirty truly exist in this world?

Was this the handiwork of a deity...

After chatting a few more words,

the two groups bade each other farewell.

"Brother Xin, I'll go to Star Dou Great Forest with you." Dugu Yan hugged Qian Renxin reluctantly.

Before this, she had never had a playmate her own age. Seeing Qian Renxin about to leave, she could not bear to part with him.

"What is it, Yan'er? You don't want to stay with Grandpa anymore?" Dugu Bo teased.

Dugu Yan turned her head away and ignored him. Clearly, her anger had not fully faded.

Qian Renxin stroked her head and comforted her. "I'm going to hunt spirit beasts. It wouldn't be suitable for you to come along. When I have time, I'll come visit you again."

Dugu Yan did not continue being willful and nodded.

Qian Renxin raised his head and said to Dugu Bo, "Senior Poison Douluo, continue staying at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. You can also guard against other soul masters who might accidentally intrude."

"No problem. With me here, there won't be the slightest issue with your Immortal Herbs. Otherwise, I alone will compensate you for everything."

Dugu Bo accepted generously.

He had already spent some time in seclusion at this place, and there were still many peerless poisons within for him to study. If asked to move out, he likely would not be able to adjust right away.

After chatting a little longer,

Qian Renxin and the three elders left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and entered Sunset Forest.

Ling Yuan stood in front and activated her Martial Soul possession.

Scorching wings of fire appeared behind her. Her feathers were even more flowing and beautiful, while the flames attached to them were orange-yellow and carried the momentum to burn the heavens.

"Young Master, come up quickly. I'll fly you to Star Dou."

Ling Yuan said eagerly.

After her Martial Soul Evolution, her beauty had become even more radiant. Her gray-white hair was now mixed with hints of orange-red.

Qian Renxin did not hesitate.

Although he had grown considerably and now looked like a young teenager,

he had ridden with her for several days already. There was no reason to become embarrassed now. He lifted his leg and sat down.

With a beat of her wings, Ling Yuan swiftly rose into the sky. Her speed had increased greatly from before, and faint sonic booms sounded around them.

Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo quickly followed.

Sunset Forest was located in the central region of the Heaven Dou Empire, while Star Dou lay directly south of the empire. The journey was extremely long, nearly crossing half the empire.

Fortunately, they could all fly, and Qian Renxin had Ling Yuan as his flying mount, so there was no need to tire themselves out.

After roughly a dozen days,

they finally arrived at the outermost region of Star Dou Great Forest.

This area was mostly inhabited by spirit beasts only a few decades old. Many of them lacked combat ability and had gentle temperaments, not actively attacking human soul masters. Even Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were rarely seen.

But that did not mean it was safe.

After all, many spirit beasts attacked in groups. If over a dozen century-old spirit beasts gathered together, even a Soul Ancestor would have a hard time dealing with them.

Moreover, the outer region merely had a lower chance of encountering high-year spirit beasts. If one was truly unlucky, it was entirely possible to encounter spirit beasts that were several thousand years old.

Therefore, those who came here to hunt spirit rings

were either protected by high-level soul masters such as academy teachers or family elders,
