Within Twenty Years, I'll Ensure You Become a Title Douluo! (Request Monthly Ticket)

Lu Duzhou did not beat around the bush and said directly:

"The condition is simple. I will select one person, and they must cultivate by my side for ten years."

He did this to keep the secret of the Immortal Herbs from leaking as much as possible.

With ten years to grow, he believed that by then, he would definitely be strong enough to face any threat.

Moreover, after taking an Immortal Herb, one could be considered a valuable talent.

If he could keep them and put them to use, the value of the Immortal Herb would be utilized a second time.

Upon hearing Lu Duzhou's condition, Matthew said in delight:

"This is a good thing!"

"You are with Poison Douluo. If one of my clansmen can cultivate alongside you and receive the guidance of a Title Douluo, that would be his honor."

Lu Duzhou nodded.

"Since you agree, Senior, summon everyone with Innate Soul Power of Four Levels or above. I need to see their Soul Skills before choosing this person."

"Once the candidate is chosen, you may designate the other two slots yourself. I will not interfere."

In a great family like this, there would certainly be younger generation members of poor birth but slightly better talent.

Lu Duzhou gave Matthew two slots to choose for himself so that he would bring over as many talented people as possible.

Otherwise, if Lu Duzhou designated all three slots himself, Matthew would definitely bring only those of the direct bloodline to meet him.

Matthew brought a total of ten people for Lu Duzhou to choose from. The youngest was eight, while the oldest was Eighteen Years Old.

After some questioning and demonstrations, Lu Duzhou chose a girl named Qiao Anna.

Qiao Anna, Eighteen Years Old, Innate Level Six Soul Power, a Level Thirty-Five Soul Elder, with Three Soul Rings: Two Yellow One Purple.

Her Martial Soul was the Phantom Dream Flower, and her Three Soul Skills were Light of Phantom Dream, Dream Chant, and Mental Wave.

Although the Phantom Dream Flower Martial Soul mainly possessed a Mental Attribute, in order to form a Marriage Alliance with the Zhu Clan, most people in the Payne Family chose Soul Rings that strengthened the Netherworld Attribute.

All three of Qiao Anna's Soul Skills had a Mental Attribute, precisely what Lu Duzhou needed.

Furthermore, her Innate Potential and strength both met his requirements.

Lu Duzhou looked at Qiao Anna and asked:

"Are you willing to follow me for ten years? During these ten years, you will be my subordinate. Without my orders, you may not leave my side by even half a step."

Qiao Anna had already heard about this matter from Matthew.

She looked into Lu Duzhou's eyes.

"Only as your subordinate, not a Marriage Alliance?"

Lu Duzhou rolled his eyes and said irritably:

"Older Sister, I'm not even Twelve Years Old yet. Don't get any improper ideas about me!"

Qiao Anna laughed.

"Alright, I accept! I will follow you for ten years and obey your instructions."

Only then did Lu Duzhou nod and turn to Matthew.

"Senior, I need to take Anna Sister away first. Tomorrow, once you have chosen two people, have them come find me at the hotel where I am staying. I will naturally help them plant their Martial Souls."

For identical Martial Souls, only the first one planted would directly produce a Soul Skill.

To obtain a high-quality Mental Soul Skill, Lu Duzhou needed to take Qiao Anna back first and help her improve her Martial Soul potential.

An hour later, inside a private room at the hotel.

Lu Duzhou looked solemnly at Qiao Anna.

"I can tell that you are someone who wants to work hard, become stronger, and break free from your fate."

"And now, I will give you that opportunity."

As he spoke, he took out a spiritual herb.

"This is the Immortal Herb Ninth Grade Purple Zhi. It contains immense Vital Energy and can greatly enhance your body and Martial Soul."

"Eat it, and your potential will greatly improve. Your future cultivation path will be smooth."

"Serve me for ten years in exchange for this Ninth Grade Purple Zhi and the enhancement effect of my Martial Soul. You definitely will not lose out."

As a Plant Soul Master, he was rather sensitive to spiritual herbs.

As a noble daughter of the Marquis Manor, Qiao Anna recognized at a glance that the Ninth Grade Purple Zhi was a priceless treasure.

She asked in surprise:

"The condition for my Martial Soul to assist your cultivation has already been exchanged for ten years of service to you."

"Why are you giving me this Ninth Grade Purple Zhi?"

"One should not accept rewards without merit. Without a reasonable explanation, I truly cannot put my mind at ease."

The only thing that could make someone abandon enormous benefits was even greater benefits.

Born into a family like the Payne Family and raised from childhood as a tool for Marriage Alliance, Qiao Anna did not believe in benefits without cause.

Especially benefits this great.

Lu Duzhou said frankly:

"When a Plant Soul Master plants their Martial Soul On the land of mine, I will gain a Soul Skill originating from that Martial Soul."

"I need a powerful Mental Soul Skill, so I chose you."

"But Innate Level Six potential is not enough, so this Ninth Grade Purple Zhi is for you. At the same time, I need you to eat it."

"Are you willing to eat it?"

Qiao Anna directly took the Ninth Grade Purple Zhi into her hand.

"How do I eat this?"

"Other than the roots and stem, eat every part of it."

Lu Duzhou instructed her.

"After eating it, immediately begin cultivating and refine the Medicinal Strength."

"The Immortal Herb contains immense Medicinal Strength. You will not be able to absorb it all at once, and the remaining portion will continue helping you improve your potential."

Qiao Anna followed his instructions upon hearing this.

Lu Duzhou watched from the side, anticipation in his eyes.

Although this Ninth Grade Purple Zhi could not compare to a top-tier Immortal Herb like the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, its effects were still remarkable.

In the original work, Yu Xiaogang had relied on it to break through the Level Thirty bottleneck that he had failed to overcome for fifty years.

One had to know that his Martial Soul potential was the Golden Holy Dragon.

If it could even break the Shackles of such a god-tier Martial Soul, it should be enough to raise Qiao Anna's Innate Potential to Level Nine or above.

More than half an hour later, Three Soul Rings—Two Yellow One Purple—appeared around Qiao Anna, and a dark blue flower bloomed above her head.

Lu Duzhou had already activated the Diamond Domain and his Martial Soul to prevent energy from leaking out.

The Diamond Domain made him immune to mental attacks, completely absorbing the Mental Waves released by the Phantom Dream Flower.

Qiao Anna opened her eyes and said joyfully:

"My Soul Power Level has broken through to Level 37."

"Also, I can feel that the origin of my Martial Soul has increased by more than double!"

As she said this, she suddenly stepped back and dropped to one knee.

"Your subordinate greets Young Master!"

Lu Duzhou stepped forward to help her up, smiling as he said:

"Anna Sister, you can simply call me Xiao Zhou."

"Time is of the essence. Plant your Phantom Dream Flower Martial Soul in my land now. I am already Level Forty. With your Martial Soul planted in my land, it should also increase your Cultivation Speed by more than ten percent."

Qiao Anna said in shock:

"You are not even Twelve Years Old, yet you are Level Forty?!"

Lu Duzhou gave a soft laugh and said calmly:

"Anna Sister, serve me for ten years, and Within Twenty Years, I guarantee that you will become a Title Douluo."

Qiao Anna's body trembled violently upon hearing this.

She was currently Eighteen Years Old. Twenty years later, she would still be under forty.

There was not even a single Soul Sage in the Payne Family.

Becoming a Title Douluo before the age of forty was something she did not even dare dream of.

Yet she had always understood that only by becoming a Title Douluo could she completely break free from the fate of being used for a Marriage Alliance by her family.

That power, which stood above Imperial Power, was what she longed for.

With a resolute gaze, she nodded and planted her Phantom Dream Flower Martial Soul On the land of Lu Duzhou.
