Dugu Yan felt her head buzzing at that moment.
Beside her, Ye Lingling also looked at Dugu Bo with shock in her eyes.
The two of them were no longer as foolishly innocent as they had been in the original story.
Level Ninety-Nine!
The realm of a Limit Douluo!
They had learned about it long ago from the knowledge Gu Changge had instilled in them since childhood.
Even Tang Chen, the previous previous sect master of the Clear Sky Sect.
Qian Daoliu, the previous previous Pope of Spirit Hall and its current Grand Worshipper.
Along with Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Sea God Island beyond the western sea.
They were all existences at that level.
The girls had known that long ago as well.
But Gu Changge had also made it clear to them just how difficult it was to advance as a Level Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo.
After reaching the Titled Douluo realm.
Every single level of advancement.
Was equivalent to the total Soul Power of the previous ten levels.
Before Level Ninety-Five.
It was merely a matter of accumulating Soul Power.
As long as one could cultivate to the Titled Douluo realm.
Reaching Level Ninety-Four afterward was only a matter of time.
Unless one was in a situation like Dugu Bo's before, where he had not even dared to advance.
But after Level Ninety-Five, things were different.
At that point, every level was a heavenly barrier.
Once one broke through, one's strength would undergo a qualitative transformation.
And the final Level Ninety-Nine.
Was an even more outrageously difficult threshold.
In Gu Changge's words.
No one could say what the future of the entire Douluo Continent would bring.
But looking back several thousand years.
There had been only one person who had relied on his own strength to break through the Level Ninety-Nine threshold and reach the realm of a Limit Douluo.
That was Tang Chen, the previous previous sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, the man who had established the Clear Sky Hammer as the number one tool Martial Soul in the world.
Even Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, in terms of talent alone, could not compare to that man.
So when Dugu Yan heard that her grandfather had actually spent a single night grinding monsters to directly reach Level Ninety-Nine.
The level of a Limit Douluo.
How could Dugu Yan possibly not be stunned?
After all, in the past thousand years.
Only Tang Chen, who had founded the Clear Sky Sect and created numerous Self-Created Soul Skills, had accomplished such a feat.
Its difficulty was terrifying, perhaps second only to becoming a god.
Of course, those were only Dugu Yan's inner thoughts. Gu Changge did not know them.
Otherwise, Gu Changge would definitely have told her.
The difficulty of becoming a god could not compare to Tang Chen's feat of reaching the Limit Douluo realm step by step through his own efforts.
Whether it was Great God King Tang, Little Angel, or Bibi Dong.
They were all the same.
"Hahahahaha!"
Seeing the shocked expressions on his granddaughter's face and Lingling's.
The delight in Dugu Bo's heart reached its peak at that moment.
"Actually, it's nothing. The realm of a Level Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo is just so-so. What was truly troublesome was the total amount of experience needed between Level Ninety-Eight and Level Ninety-Nine!"
"Your grandfather spent most of the night crossing that level. I only finally succeeded half an hour before you arrived!"
Dugu Bo put on a humble, low-key act while bragging that Level Ninety-Nine was nothing special.
Gu Changge was speechless as he watched.
The man was already so old, yet he still loved showing off that much.
Forget it. In consideration of him being an elder and the one who had personally raised him.
He would not expose him.
"Actually, the cultivation of a Level Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo really isn't much!"
Dugu Bo's performance was not over yet. "It merely increased and transformed the total amount of Soul Power, while also causing my spiritual power to undergo another qualitative transformation!"
"Compared with that, condensing the [Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Domain] is what makes your grandfather the proudest!"
As Dugu Bo spoke.
The phantom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul suddenly emerged behind him.
Then—
Whoosh!!!
A wave of emerald-green light, like ripples across water, rapidly spread outward in every direction with Dugu Bo at its center.
At once, the expression on Gu Changge's face that said, I'll just sit here and watch you brag, vanished.
Damn!
So the Old Man had actually been holding back something big.
The purity of this [Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Domain] was no joke!
As Gu Changge felt the Domain's power, which was like rippling jade-green waves.
He truly began to admire Dugu Bo somewhat.
It was indeed difficult to become a Limit Douluo!
But condensing a Domain was just as difficult.
After all, Domains.
Aside from innate Domains and god-bestowed Domains.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, Domains cultivated through one's own power.
There had only been one: Chen Xin's [Seven Kill Domain].
So its value was truly no small matter.
Suddenly, a gleam flashed through Gu Changge's eyes. "Old Man, did you solve the problem of your Martial Soul Defect?"
"You brat!"
Hearing Gu Changge's words, Dugu Bo burst into hearty laughter once more. "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. That's right, the backlash from the Soul Poison has indeed been resolved."
"But it wasn't the way you think, by solving the Martial Soul Defect at its root!"
"Rather, after increasing my strength by grinding monsters and diluting the concentration of Soul Poison already in my body to a certain extent, I followed the method you mentioned before for condensing a Soul Core. I originally wanted to further refine and compress the [Poison Pill], allowing it to transform into a Soul Power core so I could control the Soul Poison!"
Dugu Bo began recounting the process through which he had condensed his Domain.
But as soon as he reached that point, Dugu Yan became somewhat anxious.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Yanyan. Your grandfather wasn't acting recklessly. Changge told me before about the dangers of condensing a Soul Core, and I remembered it. Under normal circumstances, I definitely wouldn't do something where one mistake could make me explode and die!"
"But isn't this Changge's MC World?"
"Your grandfather has Changge's physique as the World Master empowering me, and there's also the mechanism where, as long as I don't die instantly, I can quickly recover by eating!"
"That's why I tried it last night!"
Dugu Bo wore a conciliatory smile as he explained himself to his precious granddaughter, trying to soothe her anger.
Yet even so, Dugu Yan did not give him a pleasant look.
Dugu Bo laughed awkwardly and quickly signaled Gu Changge with his eyes, asking him to help persuade Dugu Yan.
But Gu Changge acted as though he had not noticed.
Persuade her?
Persuade her my ass!
How could he not know what his little wife was like?
If he dared to go over and persuade her at a time like this.
He would definitely be branded an accomplice and dealt with alongside Dugu Bo.
So there was no way he was getting involved.
Seeing Gu Changge ignore him.
Dugu Bo glared at him angrily, giving him a look that said, You brat have no sense of loyalty.
He could only continue recounting what had happened the previous night.
Before you continue
