"Two good grandsons?"
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and instinctively looked toward Yu Tianheng.
Sensing the fluctuations of Soul Power coming from Yu Tianheng, Dugu Bo was secretly startled. But compared to Yu Tianjue... Yu Tianheng was still a little lacking.
Before long, a very subtle change came over Yu Tianheng. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had possessed him, and his limbs had grown visibly swollen. Popping and crackling sounds rang out continuously from his body.
Those sounds... came from Tian Heng's bones?
Yu Yuanzhen hurried to Yu Tianheng's side to inspect his condition.
By now, Yu Tianheng had reached the final stage of absorbing the medicinal power. A low growl like rolling thunder sounded from his throat every so often.
Poison Douluo, standing nearby, also curiously edged closer, a hint of envy in his eyes. Of course, he wasn't envious of a junior like Yu Tianheng. He was envious that Yu Tianjue actually knew about these Immortal Herbs and understood their effects!
If he'd known what these Immortal Herbs could do, he would've taken them long ago. How could they have gone to these people?
Unfortunately, he'd been guarding a mountain of treasure without even knowing it.
At last, under the watchful eyes of the two Douluos, Yu Tianheng finally came around and sprang straight to his feet.
However, Yu Tianheng didn't withdraw his Martial Soul. Yu Yuanzhen could clearly feel that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had undergone a subtle change. The electricity swirling around him seemed to carry a deeper shade of purple!
"Tian Heng, how do you feel?"
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't hold back any longer and asked.
Hearing his grandfather's voice, Yu Tianheng finally remembered to check himself.
The next instant, Yu Tianheng's face froze. In disbelief, he said, "My Soul Power... My Soul Power has gone up by a full seven levels! I'm at Level 19 now! And I can feel that I'm very close to breaking through to Soul Grandmaster!"
Seven levels of Soul Power?
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
The effects of these Immortal Herbs were simply terrifying!
Dugu Bo's expression nearby grew even more complicated.
Yu Tianheng didn't look much older than his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, yet he was already Level 19. His granddaughter hadn't even broken through Level 10, let alone obtained her First Soul Ring!
Even if Yu Tianheng had gained seven levels of Soul Power thanks to the Immortal Herb, his Soul Power had already been Level 12 before taking it—still higher than his granddaughter, Dugu Yan's.
In that instant, Dugu Bo actually entertained the shameless thought of asking for an Immortal Herb.
If he could get one for Yan'er, so what if he, Dugu Bo, joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
It wasn't that he had no bottom line. It was just that the effects of these Immortal Herbs were far too enticing!
"Clan Leader, my Soul Power Level has gone up too! I'm Level 75 now!"
"Clan Leader, I've broken through as well. I'm Level 88 now!"
"Hahahaha, me too! The bottleneck that's plagued me for years has finally broken! Once I obtain a Soul Ring, I'll be a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse!"
Hearing the voices rise one after another around him, Yu Yuanzhen let out a long breath of relief. The smile on his face wouldn't fade.
A joyous occasion!
A truly joyous occasion!
Not only had Tian Heng's Soul Power shot up by seven levels, bringing him within a step of becoming a Soul Grandmaster, but the strength of the clan's elders had also increased by varying amounts... The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was truly about to grow stronger day by day!
Dugu Bo glanced around, his brows unconsciously knitting together.
With these herbs, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's strength had undoubtedly grown considerably. He was getting old and couldn't protect Yan'er forever. So... should he really start finding Yan'er a way out in advance?
"Grandpa, I'm really about to break through Level 20! I'm almost caught up with Brother Jue!"
"I know, I know! You've said it several times already!"
Yu Tianheng's bouncing around was getting on Yu Yuanzhen's nerves. He slapped Yu Tianheng and said irritably, "Catch up with Tianjue? You've still got a long way to go! You took an Immortal Herb, and Tianjue took one too. It won't be that easy to catch up to him!"
As he spoke, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help looking toward the figure almost entirely submerged in the pool. A hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
By now, Yu Tianjue's body tempering had also reached its final stage.
What Yu Tianjue didn't know, however, was that his Martial Soul, Xiao Hei, had quietly appeared without him noticing, floating on the other side of his body.
Xiao Hei was now diving deeper and deeper, its body seemingly undergoing the pool's tempering as well.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Tianjue finally snapped his eyes open.
His Ice and Fire Immune Body was complete!
His physical constitution had improved tremendously. In the future, he would have a much better chance of absorbing Soul Rings beyond the limit, even if they exceeded what his level should allow!
But soon, Yu Tianjue noticed Xiao Hei floating beside him.
Beneath Xiao Hei's body, a faint purple glow was emerging.
There was something beneath the pool... too?
Curiosity stirred in Yu Tianjue, and he immediately dived down.
The Cold Extreme Yin Spring and Blazing Yang Spring weren't very deep, but the thing giving off a faint purple glow seemed rooted at the very bottom. So Yu Tianjue had to keep diving alongside Xiao Hei before he finally saw the thing radiating purple light.
To be precise, it was a lotus pedestal with nine diamond-shaped petals. Natural silver-purple lightning patterns covered the petals. The faint purple glow he'd just seen came from those markings.
At the heart of the lotus was an Ink Jade Lotus Pod. Its seeds resembled tiny beads of lightning, floating in midair with a few fine arcs of electricity curling around them. Even though Yu Tianjue had no idea what this thing was, he could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.
So... this was another Immortal Herb, and one with a lightning attribute?
Was this the Immortal Herb best suited for his grandfather?
Yu Tianjue furrowed his brow slightly. Another Immortal Herb appearing in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was a good thing, but the problem was that this Immortal Herb, which hadn't appeared in the original story, was something he didn't even know the name of, let alone how to pick!
If he pulled it out with his bare hands... wouldn't the medicinal power inside the Immortal Herb leak away?
Just as Yu Tianjue was still thinking about how to remove the Immortal Herb intact from the bottom of the pool, Xiao Hei had already impatiently darted over. It opened its mouth and bit right into one of the petals!
"Xiao Hei!"
Yu Tianjue instinctively tried to stop it, but Xiao Hei had already wolfed down the petal.
A Martial Soul eating an Immortal Herb... how was that any different from feeding a sword a Devil Fruit in One Piece?
For some reason, this thought had inexplicably popped into Yu Tianjue's mind.
