Su Ye also looked over, curious about which direction Dugu Yan's Martial Soul would evolve.
But just then, he froze, suddenly remembering something.
His clothes seemed to have rotted away from soaking long ago, so now...
"Ah—"
Seeing Dugu Yan covering her eyes with both hands, Su Ye's old face flushed. Without even saying goodbye, spatial power surged around him, and he vanished in a flash.
Over here, Dugu Yan realized something was wrong the moment she covered her eyes.
No, it wasn't like she was the one losing out, so why was she getting so worked up?
And why was she covering her eyes? What a perfect opportunity!
Blushing, Dugu Yan parted her fingers slightly as though deceiving herself, leaving a narrow gap.
From that quick glance just now, his body seemed pretty amazing. Just one look. I'll only take one look.
Watching his granddaughter's strange actions, Dugu Bo did not understand what was going on at first. Once he realized, however, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
No, really, if she wanted to look, she should have just looked openly earlier. What was with getting so flustered?
Well, now she could not look even if she wanted to.
He did not think much of it, anyway. It was not like she was losing out.
"Alright, he's already gone."
Dugu Yan froze upon hearing that. She then lowered her hands and, seeing that Su Ye had truly disappeared, immediately felt annoyed.
What a great opportunity. How had she failed to seize it?
"Don't regret it. Hurry and tell Grandpa how you feel. Your Martial Soul..."
"Who's regretting anything? I'm not..." Dugu Yan shot her grandfather an irritated glare and flatly denied it.
"Alright, alright. You're not, you're not."
Dugu Bo smiled and brushed it off before continuing to ask, "Tell Grandpa, how is your Martial Soul? Has the poison been cured?"
Dugu Yan could now be said to have undergone a dramatic transformation. Her pupils and hair, which had originally changed because of the poison, had both become completely different.
They had not returned to black, however, but instead become icy blue.
Dugu Bo had roughly guessed something, though he was not yet certain.
At the mention of her Martial Soul, Dugu Yan forgot her previous embarrassment and said excitedly, "It's cured, Grandpa. The poison is really gone. I feel so much lighter now, and also..."
As she spoke, she gave a mysterious smile. A lofty, majestic dragon roar rang out once more, and the phantom of an enormous ice-blue dragon emerged behind her.
Seeing the awe-inspiring dragon phantom, which seemed like the ancestor of all beasts, Dugu Bo was shocked.
Sure enough, it had not only evolved—its attribute had changed as well.
What a heaven-defying Medicinal Pill. It truly deserved to be called a divine pill.
"Good, good, good!"
Tears welled up in Dugu Bo's eyes as he said "good" three times in a row. His excitement was obvious.
The Dugu family's nightmare had finally vanished.
From now on, their family could live like normal people as well.
Looking at her grandfather with heartache in her eyes, Dugu Yan immediately stepped forward and wiped away the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.
"Grandpa..."
"Grandpa is fine. Grandpa is just happy."
Dugu Bo shook his head slightly, just about to say something else.
At that moment, Su Ye, now changed into fresh clothes, reappeared before the grandfather and granddaughter.
Compared to before, Su Ye had not changed much. He had merely made a few minor adjustments, and his temperament had become even better.
He had already been incomparably handsome, and now he was infinitely close to perfection. There was no need to mention his destructive appeal.
One only had to look at Dugu Yan's eyes, which could not move away from him, to know.
"So handsome!"
Dugu Yan unconsciously murmured. Before Su Ye could react, she muttered again, "What a shame he put clothes on."
Su Ye's face darkened. What the hell? He had never expected Dugu Yan to be this kind of person!
Dugu Bo also felt somewhat awkward. Good granddaughter, those words should have stayed in her heart. Why did she have to say them out loud?
It made her sound like some female pervert.
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Dugu Yan also realized what she had just said. Her pretty face immediately reddened as if it were about to drip blood, and her toes nearly dug out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot.
"Ahem, Miss Dugu Yan, congratulations. Your Martial Soul has evolved, and from now on, you will no longer be troubled by poison. Becoming a Title Douluo is just around the corner."
Su Ye broke the silence, easing Dugu Yan's embarrassment somewhat.
Although Dugu Yan was not especially skilled in social matters, she understood Su Ye's goodwill. She looked at him gratefully yet shyly. "Thank you."
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something and added, "Don't call me Miss Dugu anymore. Just call me Yan Yan."
"Yes, yes, there's no need for us to be so distant with each other." Dugu Bo chimed in at that moment, his old face smiling like an Old Chrysanthemum. Who knew what he was imagining again?
Su Ye naturally went along with it and did not dwell on the matter.
Afterward, the group chatted briefly. Dugu Bo was also ready to take the Medicinal Pill. Like Su Ye, he plunged headfirst into the Mandarin Duck Pot and began frantically absorbing and refining its energy.
Su Ye and Dugu Yan walked over to a huge boulder and sat down, casually chatting as they waited.
It had been fine when Dugu Bo was present, but now that only the two of them remained, that awkward atmosphere seemed to have returned.
After exchanging a few awkward remarks, the two fell silent.
Su Ye had no experience with this and did not know how to start a conversation, so he simply started updating his diary.
[Whew. After several days, I've finally obtained the greatest opportunity on the Douluo Continent!]
The sky had not even darkened yet. Seeing Su Ye update his diary at this time, all the women were surprised and hurriedly checked it.
When they saw that opening sentence, they were shocked again.
The greatest opportunity on the Douluo Continent?
What was it? Why had they never heard of it?
Could there be a place covered in Spirit Bones?
[The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a treasured land formed after the fall of two Dragon Kings. In the original story, Tang San relied on the immortal herbs here to cheat his way through everything, showing off all over the Soul Master Tournament before ultimately winning the championship.]
[Speaking of this, I have to roast Little Scumbag's character again.]
[Dugu Bo was grateful to Tang San for helping him cure his poison and said Tang San could pick any herbs here that he wanted. Yet this guy really did not stand on ceremony and took every last one of them.]
[What's even worse is that he clearly knew a single immortal herb could help Dugu Bo and his granddaughter cure their poison and even evolve their Martial Souls, but he never mentioned it.]
[Even after Dugu Bo repeatedly acted for him later and even did not hesitate to offend Spirit Hall, our Young Master Tang showed not the slightest gratitude. Immortal herbs? Don't even think about it.]
[And the poison-curing method he gave Dugu Bo had problems too. It treated the symptoms but not the root cause. In later generations, the Dugu family had already vanished into the river of time.]
Immortal herbs? Martial Soul Evolution?
The women's breathing quickened. They had not expected Su Ye's great opportunity to be this.
Those immortal herbs could actually evolve Martial Souls. That truly counted as a great opportunity, a supreme treasure among treasures.
While yearning for them, the women did not forget to scorn Tang San.
That guy's character was truly rotten to the core.
However, they had already grown used to Tang San's conduct. After casually cursing him, their attention returned to the immortal herbs, their eyes filled with longing.
[Of course, that was the original plot. Now, I've refined the immortal herbs into Medicinal Pills, and their effects have skyrocketed. Old Poison will not suffer as badly as he did originally.]
[The Nirvana Creation Pill is enough to push his Martial Soul straight to the Ultimate Martial Soul level, crushing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.]
[Dugu Yan is a little behind, but that is because her cultivation is still too low and she has not fully refined the pill's power. Once she completely digests its medicinal power, her Martial Soul will also reach the Ultimate Martial Soul level. By then, she will have no problem going toe-to-toe with Little Angel's God Rank Martial Soul.]
The ultimate level?
What was that?
It could actually compare with a God Rank Martial Soul?
Seeing this unfamiliar term, the women grew restless again.
The others were already this stirred up just from hearing it, let alone Dugu Yan herself. She was initially stunned, then her chest rose and fell violently as excitement overwhelmed her.
Su Ye pretended not to notice Dugu Yan's loss of composure and continued writing in his diary.
[I'm not just boasting. Ultimate Martial Souls really are this powerful.]
[An Ultimate Martial Soul is...]
