No Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring Needed an Explanation; With One, an Explanation Was Needed-Wouldn't I Have Gotten It for Nothing?

Sunset Forest.

After Lin Feng traveled to Dou Er's timeline and spent 1.5 million Gold Soul Coins on a ten-thousand-year Purple Crystal Red Scale Snake left-arm soul bone, he did not immediately seek out Dragon Duke, Snake Dowager, and the others. Instead, he first went to find Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

With the boost from that half-mental, half-wind soul ring and his own Soul Martial Soul, Lin Feng's spiritual power had already reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm. However, his previous strength had not been enough to provoke the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Dou Yi, Dou Er, or Dou San, so he had never come here before.

After all, the previous Lin Feng had merely possessed five ten-thousand-year soul skills, with combat power that could barely be raised to the level of a Spirit Douluo. He would have had no trouble fighting a Soul Sage like Zhao Wuji, but against a true expert, forget a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo—even a Spirit Douluo had been a formidable enemy to him.

But now that Lin Feng had a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, with all his various methods at his disposal, he possessed genuine Titled Douluo-level combat power. It was time to visit Dou Yi's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As someone with four Hundred-Thousand-Year soul skills, Lin Feng had no reason to fear a Titled Douluo with only rank ninety-one Soul Power.

Thus, upon arriving in Sunset Forest, Lin Feng immediately activated his Two-Character Battle Armor. With his terrifying spiritual power, he controlled the flow of air around him, allowing the moving air to bring him the information he needed.

His peak Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power was sufficient to process all known information. Before long, Lin Feng discovered an area shrouded in poisonous mist.

Knowing the plot well, Lin Feng naturally guessed that the poisonous mist had been created by Dugu Bo. Without hesitation, he arrived near it. Just as he was about to force his way through with Soul Power and antidotes, a dark-green figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"Who are you? How dare you come to my residence and disturb my cultivation?"

Dugu Bo glanced at Lin Feng's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, greed flashing briefly through his eyes. An opponent with the aura of a Spirit Douluo and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring would not be easy for a rank ninety-one Titled Douluo like him to handle. Moreover, while a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would certainly produce a soul bone, Lin Feng might not have absorbed it. And if he had, Lin Feng would only be harder to deal with. Thus, Dugu Bo made no actual move.

Lin Feng looked at Dugu Bo and spoke calmly. "Give me the herb garden, and I can solve the poison problem in your granddaughter's body."

Dugu Bo's eyes turned cold. "What did you say?"

Lin Feng fixed his gaze on Dugu Bo. "As a Titled Douluo, you shouldn't have misheard me."

After a brief silence, nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared around Dugu Bo. His seventh soul ring then lit up, and his entire body transformed into a massive Jade Phosphor Serpent.

"It seems my courtesy just now made you forget the power of a Titled Douluo!"

In his Jade Phosphor Serpent form, Dugu Bo stared fixedly at Lin Feng. To him, everything else was negotiable, but his granddaughter was the one reverse scale that could not be touched. The moment Lin Feng mentioned Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo immediately decided to capture him. At that moment, even the possible Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was no longer important.

After unleashing his Martial Soul Avatar, Dugu Bo's fifth soul ring rapidly lit up. But just as he was about to launch his soul skill at Lin Feng, an aged yet incomparably imposing voice rang out.

"Insolence!"

As the voice arrived, a dragon martial soul and a snake martial soul intertwined, their dragon head and snake head facing Dugu Bo together.

"Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, you dare disturb me? Are you two courting death?" As a Titled Douluo famous for many years, Dugu Bo immediately recognized the two people who, below the Titled Douluo level, were among the few capable of threatening him.

As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, the dragon head snorted coldly, followed by an unceremonious voice. "Dugu Bo, how dare you disturb our Venerable Lord! This old man advises you not to seek your own death!"

Hearing Dragon Duke Meng Shu's utterly impolite tone, Dugu Bo's mind nearly crashed.

Since when had the Peerless Dragon Snake, two people who could make Titled Douluos wary, dared to act so arrogantly before him? Titled Douluos were wary of them, not afraid of them! Had they gone senile?

That was Dugu Bo's first thought. But immediately afterward, he noticed that Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager had not called Lin Feng something like fellow cultivator. They had called him Venerable Lord.

When the Peerless Dragon Snake joined forces, they could make a Titled Douluo wary. Together, the two could be regarded as quasi-Titled Douluos.

For existences of that level to call someone Venerable Lord, that person could not be an ordinary expert.

Whether it was the clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or the two honored elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Gu Rong and Chen Xin, neither of them could possibly make experts of this level call them Venerable Lord.

For someone to have the right to be called Venerable Lord, they had to be at least powerful enough to utterly crush them, leaving them without the slightest ability to resist. Otherwise, given the current status of those two, it would be absolutely impossible for them to address someone that way.

Realizing that Lin Feng's strength was not as simple as it appeared, Dugu Bo's reason, which had been somewhat lost due to Dugu Yan, swiftly returned. He immediately dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar and returned to normal.

After Dugu Bo dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar, Dragon Duke looked directly at him, with none of his former wariness toward Titled Douluos remaining in his eyes.

"Good. The correct choice." As Dragon Duke spoke, he and Snake Dowager dispelled their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. "You old fellow, you've gotten rather arrogant."

Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager did not respond to Dugu Bo. After dispelling their Martial Soul Avatars, they silently dropped to one knee before Lin Feng. "Venerable Lord, we arrived late."

"It is fine. You were not too late." Lin Feng waved for them to rise, making Dugu Bo's brows twitch wildly.

Making Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager acknowledge someone as their master was not an easy matter to begin with. Now, the two had even knelt on one knee. That was even more unbelievable.

They were existences who could make even Titled Douluos wary. Making them willingly kneel was likely no less difficult than making a Titled Douluo kneel. With that thought, Dugu Bo's gaze toward Lin Feng was already filled with apprehension.

After all, even the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect likely could not accomplish something like this. On one hand, the Clear Sky Sect was somewhat weaker; on the other, their actions had been rather unscrupulous.

Thinking that the other party's strength might be even more terrifying than the Clear Sky Sect's, Dugu Bo already felt like retreating. But when he thought of his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, he still forced himself to calm down and speak.

"You said you can solve the poison in my granddaughter's body? Why should I believe you?"

Lin Feng glanced at Dugu Bo. "You are not worthy of an explanation from me."

Dugu Bo: "..."
