Soul Bones

"Yes, yes, yes. Old Poison is still waiting at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Sword Grandpa, hurry and take my father-in-law and Rongrong there."

"Once we reach the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, just have Rongrong show him the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. When Old Poison sees that her Martial Soul has evolved, he'll believe us."

"You can talk things over there first. I'll go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and bring Dugu Yan."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin gave a cold snort, which was as good as agreeing. Su Ming had called him Sword Grandpa, after all.

Ning Fengzhi was more straightforward.

"Alright, son-in-law. We'll head back first. You should hurry over, too."

Before Su Ming could say another word to Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin whisked Ning Fengzhi and Rongrong away.

Seeing them fly off, Su Ming prepared to head to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and bring Dugu Yan to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He summoned his Martial Soul and stood on it, ready to take off. Then he remembered that before coming here, he'd asked Dean Flender to summon Wang Sheng to the villa district.

It had already been three or four hours. Why hadn't Wang Sheng arrived yet? Su Ming swept the area with his spiritual power and found Wang Sheng practicing Eight-Level Fist in the open space outside Rongrong's villa.

Su Ming flew over and asked him,

"Wang Sheng, you're here, so why didn't you come inside? Why are you practicing your fist out here?"

At Su Ming's words, Wang Sheng looked worried and sheepish.

"Brother Ming, that's the sect master of one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and there's a Titled Douluo there too. I'm a little intimidated. I didn't dare go in."

Su Ming understood. After all, in his previous life, he'd been an ordinary person. If he'd had the chance to meet some bigwigs back then, he would've been nervous and intimidated too.

But in this life, Su Ming had his Golden Finger and knew the plot of Douluo Continent, so he wasn't particularly afraid.

"It's fine. That's normal. Let's go."

As he spoke, Su Ming used his first skill on Wang Sheng again. Then the two of them flew toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

On the way, Su Ming explained their destination to Wang Sheng.

"Wang Sheng, after we pick up Dugu Yan at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the three of us will head to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Dugu Yan's grandfather, Dugu Bo—the Poison Douluo—has joined our Grand Xuan Sect. He's at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect right now, too. When we get there, I'll explain why I asked you to come."

The two soon arrived at the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After introducing themselves, Su Ming told the guards he was there to see Dugu Yan. Once they learned he had come to visit her, they let him in.

Su Ming then asked the guards where Dugu Yan lived. The two of them flew toward her residence.

Dugu Yan and the rest of the Heaven Dou Royal Team lived in little villas near the forest, just like Su Ming's group at Shrek Academy.

As it was a royal academy, soldiers patrolled the grounds. After asking them where Dugu Yan's villa was, Su Ming and Wang Sheng quickly flew over.

As soon as they landed, they spotted a familiar face. Yu Tianheng was there with Dugu Yan.

After exchanging greetings, Su Ming got straight to the point.

"Sister Yan Yan, your grandfather asked me to come get you. He's at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect right now. Let's go together."

Hearing that Dugu Bo wanted to see her, Dugu Yan agreed. When he heard they were going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Yu Tianheng wanted to come along too.

Su Ming refused, explaining that this was a major matter concerning Dugu Yan and that it wouldn't be appropriate for Yu Tianheng to go with them this time.

Su Ming summoned another cloud, and the three clouds joined together. All three of them had used one before and knew how it worked. They quickly channeled their Soul Power into it and flew toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As soon as they flew into the sect, its members escorted them to the meeting hall.

The three had barely stepped inside when everyone, who had been chatting amiably, turned to look at Su Ming, Wang Sheng, and Dugu Yan.

"Old Monster, Father-in-law, Bone Grandpa, we're here."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Ming greeted them, then led the other two to seats along one side.

Once they were seated, Su Ming began introducing Wang Sheng.

"Father-in-law, you've probably met Dugu Yan before. She lives in Heaven Dou City, so I won't bother introducing her."

Su Ming gestured toward Wang Sheng and began his introduction.

"This is Wang Sheng. Father-in-law, you probably investigated him when you looked into me. He was the one who gave me the Ten-Thousand Year Fire Attribute Tiger Soul Bone I wanted. He's a member of my Grand Xuan Sect now."

"Wang Sheng, this is Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He's my father-in-law, so just call him Uncle Ning."

"Hello, Uncle Ning."

"Hello, Wang Sheng."

Hearing the words "Grand Xuan Sect," Ning Fengzhi looked thoughtful and asked Su Ming,

"Son-in-law, this Grand Xuan Sect—what kind of sect is it?"

Su Ming smiled. "Oh, I founded the Grand Xuan Sect."

Then Su Ming glanced at Dugu Bo, who was sitting beside Ning Fengzhi.

"I founded the Grand Xuan Sect. Right now, there are only three of us: me, Wang Sheng, and our Sect Guardian Elder, Dugu Bo."

Dugu Bo did Su Ming the courtesy of backing him up, turning to Ning Fengzhi and saying,

"That's right. I'm the Sect Guardian Elder of the Grand Xuan Sect now."

"To be honest, my title is Poison, but I was going to be poisoned to death by my own Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul."

"When Yan Yan told me that Su Ming had accurately described the flaws in my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul and how to fix them, I took her to find him."

"After we got to know each other, he told me that anyone with even a little medical knowledge could see I was poisoned. But when people saw my condition, they all assumed my poison cultivation had reached its peak. Besides, I'm the only Titled Douluo with a poison attribute."

At that, Dugu Bo laughed heartily.

"Fortunately, he told me how to solve the problems with my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. And Little Monster could help Yan Yan evolve her Martial Soul. The condition was that I join his sect and serve as its Sect Guardian Elder. So I agreed."

Beside them, Bone Douluo Gu Rong looked thoughtful as he watched Dugu Bo.

"So that's why you look younger, Old Poison. You've resolved the backlash from your Martial Soul!"

"That's right. I have Little Monster to thank for making sure the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul won't die out with me."

Su Ming smiled faintly. Wang Sheng, meanwhile, was stunned. This was a secret known only to Titled Douluos, yet here he was, sitting among them and listening to them chat as though it were nothing.

"By the way, Father-in-law, where's Rongrong? And Sword Grandpa?"

"Rongrong's already reached level 30. After Sword Grandpa brought us back and cleared up the misunderstanding with Dugu Bo, he took Rongrong to hunt for her third Soul Ring."

Su Ming nodded at Ning Fengzhi's explanation.

After some more small talk, they finally got to the main topic: Soul Bones.

Ning Fengzhi took out two Soul Bones.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Attribute Tiger Soul Bone:

"Burning Heaven Tiger Right Arm Bone"

The Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Attribute Dragon Soul Bone:

"Frost Giant Dragon Right Arm Bone"
