Dugu Yan felt her head buzzing at that very moment.
Ye Lingling, standing beside her, also looked at Dugu Bo with wide-eyed shock.
By now, they were no longer as foolish and naive 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 former former Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.
Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall's former former Pope and current Grand Worshipper.
Along with Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Sea God Island beyond the western sea.
They had long known that these people were existences of that level.
But Gu Changge had also clearly explained just how difficult it was to advance to the realm of a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo.
After reaching the Title Douluo realm.
Every single level of advancement.
Was equivalent to the total amount of Soul Power from the previous ten levels.
Before level ninety-five.
It was merely an accumulation of Soul Power.
As long as one could cultivate to the Title Douluo realm.
Reaching level ninety-four afterward was basically only a matter of time.
Unless one was like Dugu Bo before, too afraid to advance even when he could.
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 hurdle.
In Gu Changge's words.
He could not speak for the future of the entire Douluo Continent.
But looking back thousands of years.
There had been only one person who had relied on his own strength to break through the level ninety-nine barrier and reach the realm of a Limit Douluo.
That was Tang Chen, the former former Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, the man who had established the Clear Sky Hammer as the world's number one tool spirit.
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 one night grinding monsters and directly reached level ninety-nine.
The level of a Limit Douluo.
How could Dugu Yan not be shaken?
After all, over the past thousand years.
Only Tang Chen, who had founded the Clear Sky Sect with his own hands and created many Self-Created Soul Skills, had accomplished such a feat.
Its difficulty was likely second only to becoming a god.
Of course, those were merely Dugu Yan's inner thoughts, and Gu Changge did not know them.
Otherwise, Gu Changge would definitely have told her.
The difficulty of becoming a god was nowhere near as great as Tang Chen's achievement of reaching Limit Douluo step by step through his own efforts.
Tang Great God King, Little Angel, and even Bibi Dong.
All of them were the same.
"Hahahahaha!"
Seeing the shocked expressions on his granddaughter's face and little Lingling's face.
The pleasure in Dugu Bo's heart reached its peak at that moment.
"Actually, it's nothing much. The realm of a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo is just so-so. The troublesome part was the total experience required to go from level ninety-eight to level ninety-nine!"
"To cross that level, your grandfather spent most of the night grinding away. I only finally reached it half an hour before you arrived!"
With a humble and low-key look on his face, Dugu Bo shamelessly bragged that level ninety-nine was nothing special.
Gu Changge watched, utterly speechless.
At his age, he still loved showing off so much.
Forget it. For the sake of him being an elder—and the one who had personally raised him—
he would not embarrass him.
"Level ninety-nine Limit Douluo cultivation really isn't much!"
Dugu Bo's performance was not over yet. "It merely increased the total amount of Soul Power, brought about a qualitative transformation, and triggered another qualitative transformation in my spiritual power as well!"
"Compared to that, condensing the [Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Domain] is what Grandpa is most proud of!"
As Dugu Bo spoke, the phantom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul suddenly appeared behind him.
And then—
Whoosh!!!
A wave of emerald light, like ripples across water, rapidly spread outward in every direction with Dugu Bo at its center.
At that, the expression on Gu Changge's face that said, I'll just quietly watch you show off, vanished.
Good heavens!
So the Old Man had really been holding back something big.
This [Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Domain] was remarkably pure!
As Gu Changge sensed the power of the domain, which resembled rippling jade-green waves, he genuinely felt some admiration for Dugu Bo.
It was true that becoming a Limit Douluo was difficult!
But forming a domain was just as difficult.
After all, when it came to domains, aside from innate domains and god-bestowed domains, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, the only domain cultivated through one's own power
was Chen Xin's [Seven Kill Domain].
So its value was truly nothing to scoff at.
Suddenly, a sharp gleam appeared in 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 again. "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 resolved in the way you think—not by eliminating the Martial Soul Defect at its root!"
"Rather, by raising my strength through farming monsters, the concentration of Soul Poison already present in my body was diluted to a certain extent. Then, following the method you mentioned before for condensing a Soul Core, I intended to further refine and compress the [Poison Pill], allowing it to transform into a Soul Power core and thereby bring the Soul Poison under control!"
Dugu Bo began recounting the process of condensing his domain.
But as soon as he got this far, Dugu Yan grew a little anxious.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Yanyan, Grandpa wasn't acting recklessly. Changge mentioned the dangers of condensing a Soul Core before, and Grandpa kept them in mind. Under normal circumstances, Grandpa definitely would not do something that could cause him to explode and die with one careless mistake!"
"But wasn't this in Changge's MC World?"
"Grandpa had both the physical enhancement Changge received as the World Master, and the mechanism that allowed one to recover quickly by eating as long as one did not die instantly!"
"That was why Grandpa tried it last night!"
With a placating smile, Dugu Bo 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 smiled awkwardly and hurriedly signaled Gu Changge with his eyes, asking him to help persuade Dugu Yan.
But Gu Changge pretended not to notice.
Persuade her?
Persuade her my ass!
How could he not know the temperament of his little wife?
If he dared go over and persuade her at a time like this, he would definitely be labeled an accomplice and dealt with alongside him.
So there was no way he was getting involved.
Seeing that Gu Changge ignored him, Dugu Bo glared at him angrily, giving him a look that said, You brat have no loyalty at all.
He could only continue recounting what had happened to him last night.
