Mixed Poison, Heaven Dou Royal Academy

"Tell me about your third soul skill. Though this old man does not know why you chose Lycoris radiata, you must have had your eye on one of its soul skills."

Dugu Bo changed the subject.

"That's right. My third soul skill is precisely Lycoris radiata's Harmonization soul skill. It can harmonize the many deadly poisons I possess into Mixed Poison."

"Harmonize them into a mixed deadly poison... Fine. I trust you have your reasons for doing this."

Dugu Bo's brows furrowed slightly. He did not understand, but he respected the choice.

Dugu Yang now possessed more than ten deadly poisons, and the toxicity of every one of them was beyond what Soul Masters of the same rank could withstand.

Some of those poisons even made Dugu Bo keep his distance.

In Dugu Bo's view, once more than ten deadly poisons were unleashed, no one could possibly neutralize them. There was no need to waste a Spirit Ring slot specifically on a Harmonization soul skill.

However, Dugu Bo knew Dugu Yang had always had his own ideas, so he did not voice his doubts.

Dugu Yang smiled without offering much explanation. In time, he would let Dugu Bo witness the power of his soul skill.

Poison Sac, Poison Body Adaptation, Harmonization!

These three soul skills formed the foundation of Dugu Yang's path as a Poison Soul Master and officially launched his "Ultimate Poison" plan.

Over the next two years, Dugu Yang gradually consumed more than a hundred kinds of poison.

If any other Soul Master consumed so many toxins, they certainly would not survive for long.

Even Dugu Bo would have been terrified when facing so many toxins.

Yet Dugu Yang feared nothing. His second soul skill, Poison Body Adaptation, allowed him to consume all kinds of toxins without restraint.

Not only would the toxins fail to harm him, they would instead strengthen his immunity.

However, most of the toxins Dugu Yang consumed over the past two years were not instantly fatal poisons. More often, they were poisons with various special properties.

For example, the slowing Ice Poison of the Ice Viper, the stimulatory toxin of the Pink Ladybug, and so on.

When he decided on his third soul skill, Dugu Yang had already envisioned himself becoming a master of poisons in every respect.

And in truth, he had achieved it.

In Dugu Yang's hands, more than a hundred toxins became more than a hundred "medicines" with different effects. By combining them in different ways, they could produce entirely new results.

Over those two years, aside from cultivation and consuming various poisons, Dugu Yang spent most of his time researching Mixed Poison.

Thus, in addition to mastering over a hundred toxins, Dugu Yang also possessed several kinds of Mixed Poison with different effects.

For instance, the nearly unsolvable Jade Phosphor Death, which even Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, could not endure, was created by using the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons and Jade Phosphor Flower Poison as its base before harmonizing them with four additional deadly poisons.

Dugu Bo had once assessed that the poison was so potent that even a Titled Douluo could not last half a quarter hour against it.

This was also the strongest poison Dugu Yang currently possessed.

Then there was the Mixed Poison called Passion Unleashed.

Though the name was somewhat ridiculous, its effects were exceedingly powerful.

It was not a deadly poison meant to inflict damage, but a special-effect poison that enhanced a Soul Master's attributes.

After being injected with the poison, Soul Ancestors and lower-ranked Soul Masters entered a berserk state, became immune to negative effects, and gained a 30% increase to all attributes for ten minutes.

Once the duration ended, they would enter a weakened state for some time.

It had no effect whatsoever on Soul Masters above the rank of Soul Ancestor.

Even so, Passion Unleashed remained a powerful special-effect poison. Immunity to negative effects and a 30% increase to all attributes were feats that even some Thousand Year soul skills of support-type Soul Masters could not achieve.

Beyond that, there was Life Reversal, which rapidly healed injuries at the cost of one's life force, as well as Invisible Hand, which was not very toxic but was colorless and odorless.

Dugu Yang could now truly be called a master of poisons in every aspect.

Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy.

Today was the day new students enrolled. As the foremost academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, it naturally attracted many children from influential families and noble households, including quite a few heirs of sects.

A youth and a maiden also arrived at the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The youth was handsome and dashing, while the maiden was alluring and enchanting. As they walked in together, they drew countless gazes.

"Ayang, this is Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Isn't it quite impressive?"

The maiden pointed at the academy gates before them and excitedly introduced the place to the youth beside her.

The youth nodded, a faint smile on his lips, though he did not look particularly excited.

This golden couple was none other than Dugu Yang and Dugu Yan.

Compared to two years ago, Dugu Yang and Dugu Yan had both grown more mature.

Dugu Yan in particular had become increasingly beautiful and captivating. Every smile and frown carried an enticing charm, and her figure had developed to rival that of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old maiden. From the side, one could see her graceful curves.

Naturally, they had come here to enroll at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ever since awakening his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul at the age of six, Dugu Yang had spent most of his time cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, rarely going out.

Although the Mountain Valley possessed exceptionally dense natural energy that could accelerate Dugu Yang's cultivation,

Dugu Yang was not some old monster who cultivated in seclusion. He needed to gain experience in the outside world and broaden his horizons, which would also benefit his growth.

Thus, Dugu Yang and Dugu Yan, who had just graduated from Primary Academy, planned to enroll in Heaven Dou Royal Academy together.

"Ayang, lots of my classmates have entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy too. I'll introduce you to them later. They're all very curious about you as well."

While they waited in line, Dugu Yan's mouth did not stop moving.

Clearly, Dugu Yan was the happiest about Dugu Yang entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Hearing her words, Dugu Yang raised a brow and asked,

"They're curious about me? Have they seen me before?"

"No, but I've told them about you. Hehe, I told them before that you were the number-one Genius on the continent, but they refused to believe me. Now they'll finally get to see for themselves."

Seeing how excited Dugu Yan was, as though she could already see her friends staring in stunned disbelief, Dugu Yang shook his head helplessly and said,

"Yanzi, how many times have I told you? The taller the tree, the more it catches the wind. Saying I'm the number-one Genius on the continent will bring me who knows how many rivals."

"What's there to fear? Grandpa is here. Who would dare lay a hand on you?"

Dugu Yan patted her well-developed chest, her face showing not the slightest trace of fear.

With a Titled Douluo for a grandfather, Dugu Yan had never feared heaven or earth.

"Second Grandfather is not omnipotent. You should say such things less often in the future."

Hearing the sternness in Dugu Yang's tone, Dugu Yan immediately lost her temper and said softly,

"Okay, but I haven't told many people. I only mentioned it to my friends, and they don't really believe it anyway. They definitely won't spread it around."
