Douluo Traversal: I Pull Out a Dou Technique and You Don't Explode?

It was for survival.

As a pure support-type Soul Master, Ye Lingling had no need to prove herself in direct combat. At critical moments, being able to escape and survive was what mattered most.

As long as she mastered Floating Willow Breeze, even a Soul Master a full major rank above her might not be able to hurt her easily.

As for Dugu Yan,

Liu Bai chose a poison-attribute Dou Technique for her from the Jia Ma Imperial Family's treasury.

Ghost Poison Palm.

Xuan Tier, mid-grade.

Given her current cultivation and physical condition, this was the best choice she could train in.

And besides that—

Liu Bai had not forgotten someone else.

Dugu Bo.

He had prepared a Dou Technique for Dugu Bo as well.

Dark Poison Seal.

It was also Xuan Tier, mid-grade.

He would give it to him during this holiday break.

As for a cultivation technique, naturally, that would not be lacking either.

Liu Bai had never been someone who repaid kindness with ingratitude.

Since he had taken so many immortal herbs from Dugu Bo, he had never intended to leave out the repayment he owed.

Besides,

given Dugu Bo's character, as long as Liu Bai gave him a few instructions, he would never leak the cultivation technique or Dou Technique.

And with Dugu Yan involved,

Dugu Bo would only stand even more firmly on Liu Bai's side.

To Liu Bai, the stronger Dugu Bo became, the more confidence he would have in the Douluo World.

The holiday soon arrived.

Outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy,

Liu Bai bid farewell to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

During the break, they would each return home.

Ye Lingling needed to visit her clan.

As for Liu Bai, he chose to first accompany Dugu Yan to Sunset Forest.

He planned to cultivate there for a while and bring back the Sacred Heart Begonia at the same time.

Afterward, he made a special trip back to Nuoding City.

To see someone.

Si Si.

This time, Liu Bai did not return empty-handed.

He brought a gift.

A Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma.

More than a year had passed since they last met, and Liu Bai had grown quite a bit taller.

Not only that, when Si Si learned that Liu Bai was already a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, she was completely stunned.

How long had it been?

He had already surpassed her completely.

She truly could not understand the world of geniuses.

Si Si did not refuse the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma Liu Bai gave her.

That was because she did not know the true value of this spiritual fungus.

After swallowing the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma,

her Soul Power Level instantly surged by four levels!

She leaped directly from level twenty-six to level thirty.

Breaking through to Soul Elder in one go!

Only then did she truly realize how precious the gift Liu Bai had given her was.

And this was merely the most immediate and visible change.

Though the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma was not an immortal herb, it was only a step away.

Its true value lay in how it improved one's talent.

The heights Si Si could reach in the future would surely far surpass what they had once been.

After Si Si successfully absorbed the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, Liu Bai took her to Soul Hunting Forest to obtain her third Soul Ring.

With Si Si's strength, even with assistance from others, it would have been difficult to hunt a thousand-year soul beast.

Since Liu Bai happened to be free, he took care of the matter while he was at it.

Otherwise, if she ended up absorbing a hundred-year Soul Ring, that would have been a true waste of treasure.

The Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma would have been wasted for nothing.

Only after successfully obtaining her third Soul Ring did Liu Bai return to Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou City.

Inside a lavish residence,

Liu Bai, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling sat around a table.

Liu Bai took out a jade box and gently opened it.

"Sister Lingling, take a look. Is this the Sacred Heart Begonia you wanted?"

Ye Lingling hurried forward and examined it closely.

"That's right... that's right, this is it!"

"This is the Sacred Heart Begonia!"

She turned to look at the two of them, her eyes filled with excitement and gratitude.

"Sister Yanyan, Xiao Bai, thank you... thank you so much."

The two waved their hands.

"What's the big deal?" "Since it's the Sacred Heart Begonia, hurry up and absorb it."

Dugu Yan urged her.

Liu Bai also pushed the jade box toward her.

Ye Lingling did not decline again and nodded heavily.

Following the method recorded by her clan, she began consuming the Sacred Heart Begonia.

First, she sucked on the flower's pistil.

Then she swallowed the petals one by one.

There was no need to consume the remaining parts.

After completing all this, she immediately sat cross-legged and began circulating the Azure Wood Spirit Art.

The absorption process went exceptionally smoothly.

Two hours later.

Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.

A faint golden gleam seemed to flicker deep within her pupils.

She rose to her feet and summoned her Martial Soul.

At this moment, her Martial Soul was no longer the original Nine-Heart Begonia.

Instead, it was almost identical to the Sacred Heart Begonia she had just consumed.

"It worked!"

Ye Lingling could not help crying out in delight.

Sacred Heart Begonia!

The curse upon her clan had finally been broken!

"Lingling, quickly try your Soul Skill. See if there are any changes."

Ye Lingling nodded heavily.

Then, she directly unleashed her First Soul Skill on the two of them.

"First Soul Skill—Begonia Bathes the Heart!"

She gently plucked a petal from the Sacred Heart Begonia before her.

The petal drifted down and landed on Liu Bai.

In an instant, Liu Bai felt his body become a little lighter, while the Soul Power within him rapidly became full.

Ye Lingling explained excitedly.

"After my Martial Soul Evolution, my Soul Skills have changed."

"They are no longer purely for healing."

"First Soul Skill, Begonia Bathes the Heart, can instantly restore 30% of an ally's base Soul Power and accelerate the healing of injuries."
