Dugu Bo's Guidance!

Dugu Bo suddenly changed the subject.

"Senior, I really do lack practical combat experience, but I don't know where the problem lies."

When Zhou Tao heard Dugu Bo bring this up, he immediately felt that this was an opportunity.

Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo. Having lived so long, he had already experienced countless battles.

From his lofty perspective, he could naturally see the potential flaws in Zhou Tao's path.

The experience of a senior like this could indeed spare Zhou Tao many detours.

Zhou Tong was, after all, a commoner Spirit Master and had never received guidance from an expert.

Dugu Bo's willingness to give him guidance was an opportunity for him.

At that moment, seeing Zhou Tao seek advice so sincerely, Dugu Bo revealed a pleased expression.

He was teachable.

"Although your combat Spirit Skills are well-rounded, you lack Spirit Skills with ultimate destructive power!"

"Take Tang Hao, who was once renowned far and wide. He developed the Clear Sky Hammer's Great Sumeru Hammer, a heaven-defying Spirit Skill that pushed the Clear Sky Hammer's combat power to its peak in an instant."

"If you encounter a Spirit Skill with such ultimate destructive power, there are only two paths to contend against it."

"First, create a Spirit Skill with ultimate destructive power yourself. Power against power, strong against strong—the brave win when enemies meet on a narrow road."

"Second, create a Spirit Skill with ultimate defense. Ultimate defense restrains ultimate power. As long as you block his strongest strike, dealing with him will become easy."

"Your Spirit Skills are comprehensive and can let you handle battle with ease."

"But if you encounter a Spirit Skill with extreme combat power, where the enemy breaks all techniques through force alone, you must defeat it with pure force!"

"Only then can you truly become the foremost among combat-type Spirit Masters."

Dugu Bo's assessment cut straight to the heart of the matter, leaving Zhou Tao utterly absorbed.

What he said truly made sense.

In battles between ordinary Spirit Masters, having an advantage in several Spirit Skills was often enough to secure victory.

But among top-tier Spirit Masters, everyone had received excellent training, so it was difficult for there to be much difference between their Spirit Skills.

What truly widened the gap was one or two powerful Spirit Skills far surpassing those of others.

"Senior, I understand."

"To become the strongest Spirit Master, one needs not only a comprehensive Spirit Skill system, but also some supremely powerful Spirit Skills. I call them trump cards!"

"My Blue Silver Grass was originally an ordinary Martial Soul."

"But because of this lightning attribute, it gained destructive power."

"Lightning Power is the most supreme destructive force. If I can create an ultimate force of heaven and earth like the Heaven-Earth Lightning Tribulation, it will be unprecedented ultimate destructive power!"

"Over these years, I have gradually evolved Lightning Power, nurturing it until it has become this powerful."

"To attain ultimate power, I must continue upgrading the Lightning Blue Silver Grass in terms of Lightning Power and achieve Lightning Power with an ultimate attribute."

"I will make every Spirit Master think of me, Zhou Tao, the moment they see Heavenly Thunder!"

When it came to destructive power, what could compare to the force of a lightning tribulation descending from the heavens and destroying everything?

Spirit Masters with trump cards were stronger than those without them.

After Dugu Bo's guidance, Zhou Tao immediately understood what he needed to do next.

Continue upgrading his Lightning Power.

Upgrade the life attribute of his Blue Silver Grass to increase his Soul Power and boost the total amount of Lightning Power.

Upgrade the lightning attribute and improve the quality of his Lightning Power.

With both quality and quantity upgraded, his Lightning Power would surely become supremely powerful!

Once Zhou Tao became a Titled Douluo, perhaps he really could transform into the Thunder God.

With a single word, he could summon Heavenly Thunder and blast invading enemies to death!

Seeing Zhou Tao make so many connections after only a little guidance from him, Dugu Bo could not help nodding slightly. This was what a promising talent looked like.

Not bad. This Zhou Tao understood the moment he was taught.

"Yan Yan, learn more from Zhou Tao in the future."

He turned to Dugu Yan, hoping that his precious granddaughter could learn something from Zhou Tao as well.

At worst, he could take him as a grandson-in-law.

Dugu Yan was still immersed in the shock from earlier. She had not expected Zhou Tao to comprehend so much from her grandfather's guidance, so she could only nod. "All right, Grandpa."

After lecturing Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo looked at Zhou Tao again.

"Besides that, you also lack practical combat experience."

"I can give you some guidance."

"Beyond that, you need to go to the Spirit Fighting Arena and take part in more spirit fighting matches, using training to make up for your lack of combat experience."

Zhou Tao nodded slightly. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"

"I also ask that you accept me as your disciple."

How could Zhou Tao fail to see that Dugu Bo had not given him so much guidance merely out of kindness?

The other man had truly developed an appreciation for talent.

Moreover, in the original work, Dugu Bo was an excellent teacher.

Once he acknowledged someone, he truly put in the effort to help them.

Why would he turn down such a great angel investor?

Dugu Bo was at least ten thousand times stronger than Yu Xiaogang.

Dugu Bo would not have him absorb a ten-year Lone Bamboo as a Spirit Ring, nor would he send him to some shabby academy like Shrek Academy.

Moreover, Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo, an insurmountable monument that Yu Xiaogang, who had been unable to break through Rank 29 Soul Power for forty years, could never reach.

"Mm. From today onward, you are my first disciple."

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao hurriedly bowed respectfully.

In the forest.

A white streak and a green streak clashed fiercely.

"Xiao Tao, today I'll let you witness the might of a Titled Douluo."

With a sweep of his green robe, Dugu Bo sent a green poisonous mist filled with lethal toxins rapidly spreading from before him.

He looked at the youth engulfed by the poisonous mist, his expression brimming with pride.

"Kid, this old man's poisonous mist is nothing like Yan Yan's. You won't be able to evade it so easily."

"Today, I'll let you know why I am called the Poison Douluo."

When Dugu Bo sparred with Zhou Tao, he limited his Spirit Skills to within three Spirit Rings.

But even so, when wielded with a Titled Douluo's strength and combat techniques, they were still extremely terrifying.

At that moment, the green poisonous mist rapidly spread, sealing off Zhou Tao from every direction.

Everywhere the poison reached turned a sickly green. Even hard rocks were corroded full of holes, becoming riddled with pits.

Facing the terrifying poisonous mist, Zhou Tao did not panic. He remained calm and composed.

"Crackle, crackle~"

Golden lightning patterns spread across the Blue Silver Vine, quickly extending over his entire body.

It was as though Zhou Tao had donned a suit of Golden Lightning Armor.

Centered on the Golden Lightning Armor, lightning instantly erupted around Zhou Tao, transforming the area into a sea of lightning.

"Hiss, hiss~"

Countless bolts of golden lightning exploded with booming thunder, dispersing all the green poisonous mist.

The countless snake venoms were shattered by the golden lightning's utmost yang and unyielding force, turning into dust.

A huge portion of the poisonous mist was instantly destroyed.

An endless stream of poisonous mist rushed toward him, yet it could not come within one meter of Zhou Tao.
