Soul Saint-Level Spiritual Power? Dugu Ce: Aunt Erlong, It's Been Years, and You're Still Just as Fiery

Just after they had left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well,

Dugu Bo had given the Wishful Treasure Pouch to Dugu Ce.

Dugu Ce had placed many of the Immortal Herbs inside it.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

If these two herbs are refined together at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, they can forge an 'Ice and Fire Golden Body' that is impervious to both water and fire."

Dugu Ce stared at the Wishful Treasure Pouch and sent his spiritual power inside.

Looking at the Immortal Herbs within, a trace of longing flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head.

"But that would require at least half a month of secluded cultivation.

I don't want to wait a moment longer before going to True Dragon Mountain to collect what I'm owed."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his hands behind his back and praised him:

"Good. Getting revenge and settling old scores is all about having a clear conscience.

If we had to wait half a month, that fierce drive of yours would probably have faded quite a bit."

"So, I plan to refine this one first."

Dugu Ce took out Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

"This herb can greatly boost spiritual power and purify the eyes. It'll be extremely useful for controlling my Soul Skills right now.

It can also raise the upper limit on the age of the Soul Rings I'll be able to absorb in the future."

Once a Soul Ring reached ten thousand years, the demands it placed on a Soul Master's spiritual power increased dramatically.

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could greatly raise that limit.

Dugu Bo nodded.

"That works. Your strength has been rising too quickly. You really do need to bolster your spiritual power to shore up your foundation."

Dugu Ce said no more. He sat cross-legged beside Dugu Xuan and let a drop of dew fall into his eyes.

"Master, Granduncle, please wait a moment."

Dugu Ce closed his eyes, and the Soul Power around his body began to pulse in a steady rhythm.

Watching the grandfather and grandson cultivate side by side, Golden Crocodile Douluo's lips curved into an amused smile.

"One level-ninety-nine expert, two Titled Douluo, and a genius carrying rare Immortal Herbs.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is truly about to become the 'Rotten Lightning Dead Dragons.'"

Dugu Bo let out a low, chuckling sneer, green light flickering in his eyes.

"I can hardly wait to see that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen tremble beneath the Nine Nether Underworld Fire and the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor."

After a while,

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura of Soul Power burst from him.

"Peak level ninety-two!"

Dugu Xuan threw back his head and laughed.

"This Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone has not only filled in the gaps in my foundation, it's also given me a profound new understanding of the Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon's power.

Big brother, at this rate, it won't be long before our Soul Power Levels are even!"

Dugu Xuan was confident that he could break through to level ninety-three in the near future.

Dugu Bo was beaming as well.

"Good! Good!

With two Douluo in our Dugu Family, let's see who still dares call us a family of venomous pests!"

At the same time, Dugu Ce slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his pupils, amid the original green and golden light, a hint of purple shimmered like the depths of autumn waters.

Dugu Ce let out a breath of stale air.

He could clearly sense every rustle and stir within several miles. He could even pick up the faintest fluctuations of Soul Power in the air.

"Ce'er, how does it feel?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo asked with concern.

"My spiritual power has undergone a transformation."

Dugu Ce rose to his feet, feeling the expansion of his sea of consciousness.

"Master, I was born with Twin Martial Souls, so my spiritual power was already stronger than that of others at the same rank. Before refining the herb, it had already reached the upper levels of Soul King.

"Now, thanks to Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, my spiritual power has crossed that chasm. It's enough to rival that of a high-level Soul Saint!"

"Soul Saint-level spiritual power?"

A flash of admiration crossed Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes.

"Good!

The stronger your spiritual power, the more easily you'll control Martial Soul Fusion and switch between Soul Skills.

"Xuan, hurry and show us that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill!"

Dugu Xuan didn't hesitate. The brilliant red Soul Ring behind him blazed with light.

"This Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring gave me two Soul Skills.

"The first is called 'Nine Nether Yellow Spring Poison.' It's a large-scale poison domain. Once touched, it rots the body and freezes even the soul with Nine Nether energy.

"The second is called 'Poison Dragon Soul-Locking Bind.' It's an extreme single-target control skill. Even a Titled Douluo would struggle to move for a full second after being bound!"

Dugu Xuan paused and raised his right leg. Red light flashed again.

"And this Soul Bone also gave me two divine skills.

"The first is 'Nether Dragon Shadow Step.' It lets me move in a short-range burst that's almost like teleportation, leaving behind poisonous afterimages.

"The second is 'Nine Nether Destruction Strike.' It gathers all my poison power into my right leg. A single powerful kick is enough to shatter the defenses of a defensive Douluo at the same level!"

"Control, domain, movement, burst... It's all there!"

Dugu Bo's eyes shone as he rubbed his hands together.

"Xuan, with these four divine skills, along with my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison,

"the two of us together could probably peel a layer of skin off that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen!"

Dugu Ce put away the Wishful Treasure Pouch, his eyes cold as iron.

"Grandpa's strength has stabilized.

"Master, Granduncle, let's go.

"Heaven Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy... My 'medicine primer,' the woman who was 'almost my aunt,' must have been waiting a long time."

Although, by name, Liu Erlong was still Dugu Ce's aunt,

when his life was at stake, even the fact that Liu Erlong wasn't officially part of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect couldn't change anything!

Dugu Ce moved with astonishing speed, his hands blurring into streaks.

He picked every last one of the remaining Aromatic Silk Beauty, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and a large quantity of top-grade medicinal herbs.

"This treasure-filled pond will be left with nothing but its water from now on."

Dugu Ce placed the last jade box into the Wishful Treasure Pouch.

Looking at the now-empty shore, Dugu Bo chuckled.

"Don't worry. I'll strengthen the poison formation before we leave.

"Without my token, anyone below the rank of Titled Douluo who goes in will die."

"Let's go."

Golden Crocodile Douluo swept out his sleeve, and a surging golden light enveloped the four of them.

They shot toward Heaven Dou City like a meteor.

The back mountain of Blue Tyrant Academy, Heaven Dou City.

Feeling the terrifying pressure rushing toward her from afar, Liu Erlong sprang to her feet from where she had been resting in the woods. Her eyes widened in shock.

"What terrifying auras!

"Are those... Titled Douluo?

"No, there's more than one!"

As soon as she spoke, four figures descended like divine soldiers from heaven, landing steadily in a clearing.

Liu Erlong recognized the visitors. Her gaze settled on Dugu Bo, and her brows knitted together.

"Poison Douluo?

"Why have you brought people into a restricted area of my Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Dugu Ce stepped out from behind Golden Crocodile Douluo and looked at the woman who was his aunt in name.

"Aunt Erlong, it's been years, and you're still just as fiery."

"Dugu Ce?"

Liu Erlong froze, then her expression changed.

"Weren't you at Spirit Hall?

"And... who are these two?"

Liu Erlong looked at Dugu Xuan and Golden Crocodile Douluo.

The overwhelming pressure of their status made the Fire Dragon Martial Soul within her tremble.

"I am Dugu Xuan, titled Nine Nether."

Dugu Xuan stepped forward, and nine Soul Rings rose from beneath him.
