"Holy shit? Dugu Bo?"

"I actually transmigrated into this old man? And I started out as a level ninety-two Titled Douluo?"

"Starting right at the pinnacle of humanity? Although his individual combat power is pretty lacking, his area-of-effect devastation is absolutely unrivaled!"

"In the original Jialing Pass battle, the entire city was left covered in green, without a single survivor. Just thinking about it is terrifying..."

Inside the manor, within the seclusion chamber.

Dugu Bo, a Huaxia youth who had just transmigrated, was digesting his merged memories. Once he learned of his current circumstances, he could no longer keep it together.

This guy's position was rather awkward.

He was the weakest of all Titled Douluo.

He could barely defeat any other Titled Douluo.

Yet he could leave the entire world with only Titled Douluo remaining.

He was both the weakest and the most terrifying.

Moreover, he had been poisoned by the Backlash Poison of his Jade Python Snake Emperor Martial Soul, and was now critically ill.

His son and daughter-in-law had also been poisoned to death.

Only his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was still alive.

And, in a sense, his granddaughter's condition was even worse than his.

Dugu Yan had been steeped in deadly poison since she was still a fetus. The poison had seeped into her bones and marrow, changing even the color of her eyes and affecting her entire bearing. At a glance, she did not look healthy.

To outsiders, this might have seemed like a normal trait of a poison-type Soul Master, but only Dugu Bo knew that if his granddaughter was not cured, even with a Titled Douluo like him intervening, she would not live past thirty.

Thirty years old—an age when one should be in the prime of life, yet she was destined to die. It was truly regrettable and heartbreaking.

"Is there a system? Do I have a cheat?"

After calming down, Dugu Bo called out in his mind.

However, there was no response.

"Looks like I don't have a system."

"My memories from my previous life, my foreknowledge—that is my cheat."

A helpless, bitter smile appeared in Dugu Bo's heart.

In the original work, Tang San's method of resolving Dugu Bo's Backlash Poison was to use the medicinal power of immortal herbs to refine pills. Using that medicinal power as a guide, he worked together with Dugu Bo to slowly force the Backlash Poison into Medusa's skull Soul Bone.

To be honest, that method did not completely solve the Backlash Poison.

More importantly, it required Tang San's blood.

Tang San had eaten the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, then jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to temper his body.

Tang San could eat them.

But Dugu Bo could not. Once he ate them, his lifetime of poison techniques would be completely ruined.

His Soul Rings had already been fixed. Without poison, his soul skills would be nothing more than decorations.

He would truly become the weakest Titled Douluo in name and reality. Perhaps even a slightly stronger Soul King could take him down.

That would be far too humiliating.

The original Dugu Bo was a native of this world with limited knowledge, so he could only resort to that method.

It was no different from seeking treatment in desperation.

But Dugu Bo was different. He had transmigrated from Huaxia, had read countless novels, and knew of innumerable Douluo fanfictions.

As for resolving the Backlash Poison caused by his Martial Soul, it was actually simple. It was not as difficult as it seemed.

Since this was a flaw of the Martial Soul, then he would make it evolve!

As long as the Martial Soul successfully underwent Martial Soul Evolution, the flaw of the Backlash Poison would naturally be resolved.

Perhaps it could even be transformed into an even more potent poison under his control!

Besides the Aromatic Silk Beauty, there was another immortal herb capable of evolving a Martial Soul.

It was the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, which appeared in the later era of the Douluo series, during The Legend of the Dragon King!

In fact, the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd was the herb best suited for the Jade Python Snake Emperor.

It might even allow the Jade Python Snake Emperor to become a true dragon!

Furthermore, it could grant his Martial Soul both poison and earth attributes!

That would absolutely be a top-tier, perhaps even god-tier, existence!

"The era of The Legend of the Dragon King is only twenty thousand years away from now."

"The original work described the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd as being one hundred ninety thousand years old. Even if it is not that old now, it should still be around one hundred seventy thousand years old, right?"

"This thing is also easy to identify. It's a massive golden pumpkin, incredibly conspicuous. Why didn't it appear in the first installment? Probably because Third Young Master hadn't thought of it yet. Since this world is real now that I'm here, I wonder whether the original owner's memories contain it?"

Dugu Bo pondered inwardly.

He closed his eyes and sank into thought.

He recalled the original owner's memories of observing immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

There was no golden pumpkin, but he did discover a golden gourd vine with markings resembling dragon claws on it.

It was located in a hard-to-notice corner southeast of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Springs.

It was quite well hidden.

"Could that be it? Could the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd be buried underground instead of growing on the surface?"

"After all, this world cannot be judged by normal logic."

"Never mind. I'll head to the back garden and take a look first. If it really is that, then I've struck it rich."

"If it still isn't there, then I can only eat the Aromatic Silk Beauty and make it evolve."

"As for Yan Yan, I'll think of a way later."

"I'll deal with whatever comes. As long as I, this Titled Douluo, am still alive, there will be a way to solve it. If even I die, then Yan Yan truly will be beyond saving."

With those thoughts in mind, Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes.

He stood up, moved his stiff body a little, and relaxed his muscles.

Ever since reaching level ninety-two as a Titled Douluo, he had remained stuck there, unable to enter level ninety-three.

Unless one was a protagonist, everyone basically followed the most fundamental law.

The gap between every level of a Titled Douluo was as vast as heaven and earth.

Advancing even a single level was extraordinarily difficult. Merely accumulating Soul Power was no longer enough.

One needed comprehension, opportunity, and timing.

That was why many possessors of formidable Martial Souls ultimately stalled at around level ninety-five.

He left the seclusion chamber and walked outside.

His manor was enormous, and the night scenery of Heaven Dou City was beautiful.

"Master, you've come out of seclusion?"

At that moment, an old man approached.

He was the manor's steward, Steward Fu.

He was loyal and trustworthy.

"Mm. This old man needs to go out for a while. If anyone comes looking for me during that time, tell them I've gone out."

Dugu Bo spoke indifferently.

"Master, understood." Steward Fu nodded.

The next second, Dugu Bo soared into the air.

Blending into the night, he flew at high speed toward Sunset Forest.

He clearly remembered the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

About five minutes later.

He had already left the human world.

He entered the vast forest.

This was Sunset Forest.

It was the continent's second-largest forest.

The largest was naturally the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Shriek!"

Just then, a giant eagle dove down from high in the sky, having mistaken him for prey.

Dugu Bo looked up. From the fluctuations of Soul Power, he could tell that this beast was around fifty thousand years old.

A fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast was equivalent to a human Soul Saint.

A ten-thousand-year flying Soul Beast was difficult to handle even for an eight-ring Soul Douluo, unless that person was also a flying type.

But Dugu Bo was a level ninety-two Titled Douluo.

Why would he fear a mere fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast?

"Get lost!"

The Jade Python Snake Emperor Martial Soul appeared around Dugu Bo and directly lashed the giant eagle down into the earth.

Boom!

A crashing sound rang through the nighttime forest.

Yet the forest swallowed it all, preventing it from carrying outward.

And Dugu Bo had also arrived at his destination.

Ahead lay the valley from his memories.

The valley was concealed beneath towering ancient trees, its location exceedingly hidden and difficult to find.

No wonder no one had discovered it all these years.

The fact that Dugu Bo could find it meant that fortune favored him.

It was simply a pity that he did not know how to use it properly.

Otherwise, he would have long since broken through to become a Super Douluo, or even a Peerless Douluo.
