My Granddaughter Has the Potential to Become a Titled Douluo

Dugu Bo took the Purple Poison Dragon Agave, then took his granddaughter back. With Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, an expert on flowers and plants, explaining how to use it, he slowly fed the Purple Poison Dragon Agave to his granddaughter.

Then he helped his granddaughter absorb it and guided the flow of Soul Power through her body.

He could also sense that her Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul had awakened and produced a faint trace of Jade Scale Snake Poison. It had no adverse effect on his granddaughter at all. Instead, it was highly compatible with her body, as though they had always been one.

His granddaughter showed no sign of discomfort, either.

Perhaps because she was so young, the absorption took a little longer.

Li Pu and the others went off to the side and started playing poker.

"Three of a kind and one."

"Raise!"

"Beat that!"

"Pass!"

"Watch this—bomb!"

"Pass..."

Dugu Xin was the first to be cured. When he realized he was no longer afflicted by Jade Scale Snake Poison, he was so happy that he burst into tears. He wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

"Waaah, I'm going to live!"

A clod of dirt flew over and hit him. A voice rang in his ears: "Your daughter is still refining and absorbing the Immortal Herb. Keep it down. We can all hear you over here."

Dugu Xin hurriedly covered his mouth and stood up. The emotions on his face gradually swelled until they were impossible to hide. If his daughter hadn't been evolving, he would have laughed out loud right then.

A surging wave of Soul Power burst forth, and the Martial Soul of a jade-green serpent sovereign appeared behind her. Dugu Yan had finished absorbing the Immortal Herb, and let out a blissful moan.

It was plain to see that Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had evolved from the Jade Phosphor Snake into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.

"Grandpa, I feel so good!"

At first, Dugu Bo had worried that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison would be far more potent than the Jade Phosphor Snake's.

But when he saw that his granddaughter was unaffected, he finally relaxed, tears streaming down his face.

The Jade Phosphor Snake was only a high-grade Martial Soul, while the Serpent Emperor was top-tier. Its quality was in no way inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon or White Tiger, the strongest Beast Martial Souls of the age.

"That's wonderful. From now on, my granddaughter won't have to suffer the agony of Jade Scale Snake Poison striking back at her."

Dugu Bo no longer cared about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Without Spirit Hall, he would probably never have found a suitable solution, even if he lived to old age. He might even have had to watch his own child die before him.

His gratitude toward Spirit Hall and Li Pu had reached an unprecedented level.

Next, Li Pu asked Dugu Bo a question. "Let me ask you something. If someone had told you how to cure the poison, but hidden the true value of these Immortal Herbs from you, and by then you'd already regarded him as your benefactor and treated him like a brother, completely unaware of the truth—yet you could see his companions rapidly growing stronger. What would you think of him?"

"How could someone like that exist? That'd be shamelessly taking advantage of you!" Dugu Bo immediately replied in anger.

"I'd definitely confront him. He gives me a simple way to cure the poison, then takes my garden from me—how shameless can he be?"

Li Pu chuckled.

In the original story, you never caught on. Even when you saw Tang San's companions rapidly growing stronger, you still didn't realize it might have been because of your garden.

Then you wouldn't have ended up with your family line cut off, either. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would have been discovered by Tang San alone and become the Tang family's backyard.

Losing the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had practically made Dugu Bo's heart bleed, but no matter what, he was still deeply grateful to Li Pu. At least Li Pu hadn't deceived him like the person in the question.

If someone really had treated him that way, he might not have betrayed them, but he would have held a grudge. Once he discovered there was an even bigger problem, he might even have come to hate them!

"Your granddaughter's Soul Power has reached level ten. You can find her a suitable Soul Ring now," Bibi Dong reminded him.

Only then did Dugu Bo realize that his precious granddaughter, who had originally possessed Innate Soul Power at level seven, had now reached level ten—and without any side effects.

"Looks like my granddaughter has the potential to become a Titled Douluo, too."

"Who knows? One day, she might even enter the Worship Hall," Guangling Douluo said with a laugh.

Talent determined everything. With her original Innate Soul Power at level seven, Dugu Yan might have reached Soul Douluo at best. But after taking the Immortal Herb, things were different. Her talent had improved, opening the way to even greater heights.

"Thank you, big brother. I'll work hard," Dugu Yan said earnestly.

"You know what you need to do next. We don't need to spell it out for you, right?" Li Pu continued.

"I know. I'll tell them. And our Dugu Family values its word above all else. Spirit Hall has nothing to worry about—we'll keep our promise," Dugu Bo assured them again.

Li Pu trusted him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been tied down by Prince Xue Xing over a debt of gratitude.

When dealing with someone like him, deception and concealment were more trouble than they were worth. In contrast, speaking from the heart could earn his complete sincerity.

In the days that followed, Dugu Bo trained alongside his son and granddaughter. He also urged them to cultivate as quickly as possible, so they could enter the plan once they reached the Titled Douluo rank. At the same time, he would try to obtain a Soul Bone for himself as soon as possible, to avoid suffering the backlash of Jade Scale Snake Poison and live a few more years.

Li Pu wasn't sure whether Qian Renxue would still carry out the Nation-Stealing Plan, but there could always be someone else to take her place.

When news of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well reached Spirit Hall, its upper ranks were immediately shaken.

They said that such a precious place had to be guarded. What use was a poison formation maintained by just one Soul Douluo? He couldn't stand watch there all the time. They needed to send at least one or two Titled Douluos to guard it.

And the Immortal Herbs—one suitable herb could nurture someone capable of becoming a Super Douluo or even stronger. That was even more exciting.

They might not have the potential to become gods, but at the very least, they could surpass the people already there.

The happiest of all was Chrysanthemum Douluo. He had a new Botanical Garden.

As an expert on flowers and plants, he was the obvious choice to be its director.

Li Pu stopped concerning himself with the matter after that, but he remained on guard against the god manipulating Qian Xunji from behind the scenes.

As someone who had thrown the script into chaos, he was bound to be corrected. They just hadn't found an opportunity to act yet.

Li Pu waited patiently until Spirit Hall received reliable news about Tang Hao and Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin.

Ever since Tang Hao and Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin had broken away from the Clear Sky Sect after fighting their way out, the entire continent had been hunting Tang Hao—and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone he carried.

But Tang Hao and Ah Yin were too good at hiding. It was difficult to find any trace of them.

Searching for them had been much simpler with forces from across the continent joining in, rather than Spirit Hall alone, but it was still like searching for a needle in the ocean.

Recently, however, reports of Tang Hao and Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin had become more and more frequent, and the locations were almost always accurate. Some had even seen their Martial Souls and confirmed their appearances beyond a doubt.

As a result, many factions had lost people to them.

Li Pu couldn't help remarking, "I really can't tell whether you love Blue Silver Emperor or not. If you love her, why would you later plant her in a pitch-black cave? If you don't, why would you cruelly kill your own family for her?"

"Guess we'll find out soon enough!"
