New Enlightenment

"Dugu Yan, release your martial soul and begin your meditation technique!"

Seeing Dugu Yan scorched into a little black bird, Old Poison Freak grew anxious.

Hearing Old Poison Freak's shout, Dugu Yan dared not be careless any longer; she hurriedly released her martial soul and began to circulate her meditation technique with all her might.

Just as she began, another bolt of purple lightning descended.

The lightning Yu Tianchen summoned was carefully controlled; while painful, it was far from fatal.

Amidst the constant strikes, as Dugu Yan meditated, the energy contained within the lightning began to temper her body.

Wisps of ink-green smoke began to rise from the top of Dugu Yan's head.

Time passed bit by bit.

It was not until the ink-green smoke above Dugu Yan's head gradually turned into normal black smoke that Yu Tianchen ceased guiding the heavenly lightning. He retracted his martial soul and landed on the ground.

Seeing the lightning stop, Old Poison Freak immediately stepped forward. Looking at Dugu Yan, who was indistinguishable from a piece of charcoal, his eyes were filled with deep heartache.

He then looked at Yu Tianchen:

"Little Tianchen, is Yan Yan alright now?"

"Yes."

Yu Tianchen nodded and said:

"The toxins that had accumulated in her body since birth have been mostly cleared. Once she refines the residual lightning energy within her, her physical body might even be strengthened."

"If you still wish for her to inherit your mantle and walk the path of poison, it would be best to find spirit bones or wait until the third method becomes viable."

"Of course, switching to another path is also fine. You and Miss Dugu Yan should discuss the specifics yourselves."

Hearing Yu Tianchen's explanation, Old Poison Freak felt much more at ease.

Since Dugu Yan had not yet awakened from her meditation, Old Poison Freak first carried her back to the cavern.

He then returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

With Dugu Yan's matter resolved, it was naturally his turn.

Old Poison Freak was a Titled Douluo; the toxins in his body were not easily forced into spirit bones. At the very least, the time required would certainly not be short.

Regarding time, Yu Tianchen was fine; he could use the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to assist his own cultivation.

However, it was clearly impossible for Yu Yuanzhen to stay and accompany Yu Tianchen indefinitely.

After agreeing to return in three months to pick up Yu Tianchen and Old Poison Freak, Yu Yuanzhen left for the time being.

Yu Tianchen began his life of secluded cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Every day, he would wake up, head to the Sunset Forest to spar with spirit beasts, return in the evening to prepare tonics for Old Poison Freak to relax his muscles and stimulate blood circulation, and incidentally provide a drop or two of his own blood. At night, he would enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to meditate.

Compared to Yu Tianchen, Old Poison Freak's routine was relatively more monotonous.

Every day, aside from taking the medicine Yu Tianchen had prepared to relax his muscles and stimulate blood circulation, he would tentatively guide the toxins in his body into his spirit bones.

Beyond that, he would occasionally check on Dugu Yan, who had already recovered.

Perhaps it was because Yu Tianchen's lightning strikes had left Dugu Yan with psychological trauma, but after she woke up, she was clearly much better behaved.

However, because Dugu Yan still had to attend school, she did not stay in the Sunset Forest for long.

After confirming there were no issues, she was taken away by Old Poison Freak, though she would occasionally accompany him back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to train in the Sunset Forest with Yu Tianchen.

Clearly, Old Poison Freak had not given up on the idea of having the two spend more time together.

Just like that, as the days passed, three months flew by in the blink of an eye.

Soon, the day agreed upon with Yu Yuanzhen arrived.

"Little Chen, Old Poison Freak, are you packed?"

Early in the morning, Yu Yuanzhen's booming voice echoed through the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"What are you shouting about so early, Old Dragon Yu?"

Old Poison Freak stretched and walked before Yu Yuanzhen.

When he saw Old Poison Freak, Yu Yuanzhen simply sensed his aura for a moment before smiling and saying:

"Not bad, Old Poison Freak. I haven't seen you in three months, and your strength has actually improved this much!"

"Have the toxins in your body been transferred?"

"Almost. The backlash pain the toxins cause me now is basically no different from nothing."

Mentioning this, a smile appeared on Old Poison Freak's face.

Over these three months, by persistently guiding the toxins into his spirit bones every day, not only had his strength not diminished, but it even showed signs of a breakthrough.

According to his estimates, once he completely channeled the toxins into his spirit bones, there should be no problem for him to break through to level ninety-two.

He had been overjoyed for quite some time when he first heard Yu Tianchen's estimation.

One had to know that after surpassing level ninety, every single level was a massive bottleneck; he himself had been stuck at level ninety-one for a full ten years.

Now that there were signs of a breakthrough, how could he not be ecstatic?

"Heh, shouldn't you thank my little Chen properly then? Speaking of which, where is little Chen?"

Yu Yuanzhen was naturally happy that Dugu Bo's strength could improve.

After all, as things stood, Dugu Bo could be considered part of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Him becoming stronger meant that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's confidence had also increased by a notch.

However, after the two had talked for so long without seeing Yu Tianchen return, he suddenly felt a bit puzzled and couldn't help but start looking around.

"That kid seems to have had a new epiphany these past two days; he is currently in that pool."

Dugu Bo pointed toward the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and, while speaking, led Yu Yuanzhen to the edge of the water.

Approaching the spring, Yu Yuanzhen finally saw it.

At the intersection of the Cold Extreme Yin Spring and the Scorching Yang Spring, a figure with a bare upper body was sitting cross-legged on the surface of the water.

It was none other than Yu Tianchen.

At this moment, the five small drums manifested by the Five Thunder Shock Drums were hovering around his body.

The blue lightning that should have been displayed on the Five Thunder Shock Drums had now transformed into two different colors: purple-red and black-blue.

These two different colors of lightning were intertwined on the surface of each of the Five Thunder Shock Drums.

They carried a hint of something extraordinary.

"This lightning..."

Yu Yuanzhen noticed something was wrong immediately.

"Mm, this kid must have used the spring water here to create something incredible."

Dugu Bo nodded and said:

"I can sense the extreme aura of the Yin pole and the Yang pole from these two different types of lightning, and besides these two extreme auras, there is also a feeling of an ultimate element."

"But as for what exactly the kid has researched, we will have to wait until little Tianchen wakes up to find out."
