Gui Mei Came Back to Life

If he remembered correctly, Dugu Bo's ninth soul ring came from this ninety-thousand-year-old Emerald Snake Emperor.

How much benefit did this soul ring bring to Dugu Bo?

His martial soul transformed from a Jade Phosphor Snake into a Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor, and he even condensed a Dan Pearl.

It could be said that this soul ring caused a qualitative change in Dugu Bo.

Therefore, Bibi Dong had Yue Guan and the others leave this Emerald Snake Emperor behind.

At this moment, Dugu Bo had already successfully killed that sixty-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorus Poison Lizard and absorbed its soul ring, achieving the rank of Soul Douluo.

His purpose for coming here to hunt a soul beast had been fulfilled.

Subconsciously, he prepared to leave.

However, the moment he moved, he recalled that mysterious yet familiar voice from just a moment ago.

Can they truly cure the poison in my Xin'er?

Dugu Bo hesitated.

That mysterious person was able to transmit their voice mentally without him noticing, and they clearly knew about the poison afflicting both him and his son.

They were clearly a Title Douluo.

If he went with his current strength and the other party truly had malicious intent, he would have no power to resist whatsoever.

But...

At the mere thought of the deadly poison within himself and his son, Dugu Bo's gaze hardened.

It wasn't just his son; even he, after advancing his strength, found that the poison in his own body had reached an uncontrollable level.

In such a situation, he couldn't imagine what would happen on the day the poison finally erupted.

For the sake of his son, he was willing to try, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, his intuition told Dugu Bo that the other party held no malice.

If the other party truly wanted to do something, they would have acted already; why go through the trouble of playing such elaborate games with him?

As Dugu Bo made his decision, he resolutely headed straight toward the location of the poisonous miasma he had sensed earlier.

"Xiao Dong, that little fellow Dugu Bo is coming."

The moment Dugu Bo approached the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Yue Guan had already sensed him.

"Uncle Yue Guan, bring him over!"

Bibi Dong was not surprised by Dugu Bo's choice.

Although she hadn't had contact with Dugu Bo over these years, she had still gained some understanding of him through the channels of Martial Soul Hall.

Dugu Bo's son, Dugu Xin, had suffered from snake venom for many years and had reached the stage where it was about to erupt.

This was the perfect time to recruit him.

She had originally planned to bring Dugu Bo into the fold after returning from the Sunset Forest.

After hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yue Guan glanced at Gui Mei, who was still refining medicinal power not far away, and the restrained Emerald Snake Emperor. After confirming there was nothing amiss, he departed.

Yue Guan returned quickly.

He brought Dugu Bo with him, though at this moment, Dugu Bo looked incredibly disheveled, his face bruised and swollen.

It was clear he had just been given a sound beating.

Bibi Dong did not pay attention to Dugu Bo immediately, instead walking over to where Gui Mei was.

At this moment, Gui Mei had successfully refined the medicinal power of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"Xiao Dong, thank you!"

Gui Mei stood up and clenched his fists, feeling the power contained within them, and he smiled.

He smiled very happily.

He could clearly feel that he had come back to life.

He was truly, genuinely alive.

This alone made up for his greatest weakness.

With a physical body as a barrier, although the power of holy light still suppressed him, it was merely a suppression.

Furthermore, not just any martial soul possessing the attribute of holy light could suppress him.

It would have to be at least at the level of a Six-Winged Angel martial soul.

Moreover, this was only the benefit of his physical body being restored; Gui Mei hadn't even mentioned the other benefits of consuming the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"This immortal herb not only allowed me to break through directly to level 90, but it also granted me two innate soul skills: one is Stealth, and the other is Guardian."

"Relying on this special Stealth soul skill, combined with my own insights into my martial soul, even without obtaining a ninth soul ring, I am now confident that I can do whatever I wish right under the nose of any Title Douluo below level 97, and they wouldn't be able to discover me at all."

"As for the other innate soul skill, Guardian, it can manifest a red barrier. Coupled with the assistance of the soul bone bestowed by Your Majesty the Pope, even the holy light and Sun Fire of a Six-Winged Angel cannot harm me."

"What shocks me the most is that I can feel my body brimming with power, and it seems my martial soul has a chance to awaken once more. However, the specifics of how to achieve that awakening are something I still need to explore."

As Gui Mei spoke, his eyes were filled with gratitude when he looked at Bibi Dong.

He could clearly feel that this immortal herb had brought him far more than just a simple return to life; even his potential had been raised infinitely higher.

According to Gui Mei's own insights and conjectures, his upper limit was very likely to have been elevated to a level 98 Title Douluo.

As for advancing further to become a Peerless Douluo, that was something that could only be left to luck.

These conclusions were all told to him by his intuition.

"Uncle Gui Mei, this is all something you deserve."

Seeing Gui Mei's transformation and confirming her own guesses, Bibi Dong was also very happy.

Only then did she look toward Dugu Bo.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was in a state of complete bewilderment.

What on earth was going on?

He naturally recognized Yue Guan and Gui Mei as the lackeys of Martial Soul Hall, and their strength was greater than his own.

But how had they both broken through to become Title Douluo?

Was the foundation of Martial Soul Hall truly that profound?

Furthermore, what kind of place was this? How could such a unique location exist in this world?

He could feel that just by being here, his snake venom was being suppressed.

However, he could also sense that the power in this place was extremely strong and strange; with his current cultivation, he could not stay here for long.

"I am Bibi Dong, the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall!"

"I can help you and your son detoxify, but you must swear an oath upon your martial soul: you will guard this herb garden, allowing no one else to set foot here except those I permit; and when the time comes that I have need of you, you will lay down your life for me."

Bibi Dong looked at the Dugu Bo before her, not bothering with any pleasantries.

The current Dugu Bo was not yet a Title Douluo, had no major ties to other factions, and both he and his son were suffering from severe poison; there was no need to expend too much effort or strategy to win him over.

For an existence with such a perverse and arrogant personality, there was absolutely no need to try and bind him through emotions or bonds.

First, make him bow through a display of overwhelming force; as for winning his heart later, that was a matter for the long run.

"I..."

Hearing Bibi Dong speak in such a manner, Dugu Bo's gaze sharpened abruptly.

He truly had not expected that the youth before him was actually the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall.

It was just that he had never heard of Martial Soul Hall having any Holy Son.
