Subduing the Poison Douluo, Arriving at Heaven Dou City!

Bai Shu saw Dugu Bo's complex expression as he pondered, and he didn't rush him. He believed that for Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo had no other choice.

Indeed, after a long while, Dugu Bo let out a long sigh of turbid air, as if that breath carried away the last of his arrogance as a Title Douluo.

His expression was more complex than ever. He bowed deeply to Bai Shu, his voice hoarse yet clear:

"Your subordinate... Dugu Bo, is willing to surrender to you, Young Master! I only ask that you keep your promise and save my Yan Yan first!"

"Senior Dugu, there's no need for this. Please rise quickly!"

Seeing this, Bai Shu hurried forward, personally supporting Dugu Bo's arm and helping him up.

"I have received your sincerity, Senior. This matter is not difficult. When we go to Heaven Dou City, I will have Old Xie teach you a cultivation technique. It will not only completely eradicate your martial soul backlash but may also allow your strength to reach new heights!"

"Thank you, Young Master." Dugu Bo straightened up, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

A single cultivation technique could solve the deadly poison that had plagued his Dugu family for generations?

He instinctively felt it was unrealistic, but the other party's confident demeanor, and the presence of Xie Biyan beside him, who still made him tremble, made him dare not disbelieve.

At this point, he had no other choice but to believe.

Xiao Wu, who had been hiding behind Bai Shu, saw that the atmosphere had finally eased and that this new Title Douluo didn't seem to have recognized her identity. She became bolder, peeking her head out from behind Bai Shu and asking curiously:

"Bai Shu, Bai Shu, did you just absorb a thousand-year spirit ring! Hurry and show me, what is your second spirit ability? It must be very, very powerful!"

Bai Shu reached out and pressed Xiao Wu's head, pushing her away with a hint of annoyance before speaking:

"It's alright. It's an amplification spirit ability, and the effect is quite good. After using it, it can strengthen myself in all aspects."

As he spoke, Bai Shu's mind moved, preparing to demonstrate it.

The purple spirit ring he had just obtained beneath his feet suddenly lit up, and a faint layer of purple-gold light instantly covered Bai Shu's entire body. At the same time, the spirit power fluctuations on Bai Shu's body visibly increased by a large margin.

"This... this level of amplification!"

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply. He could clearly sense that the spirit power pressure emanating from Bai Shu at this moment was more than just a little stronger than before.

"This amplification must be over seventy percent!" A second spirit ability with such an effect? This was simply unheard of!

"Mm. During the day, it can amplify all my attributes by one hundred percent."

Bai Shu nodded, not intending to hide his spirit ability. Although spirit abilities were secrets of spirit masters and should not be easily revealed to others, everyone present was now considered his own, and it was only a second ring spirit ability, which was not important to him.

"During the day?"

Dugu Bo keenly noticed the loophole in Bai Shu's words.

"Yes, during the day." Bai Shu's lips curled into a mysterious smile as he explained, "If it's at night, under the starlight, this effect will reach two hundred percent."

"Hiss--!"

Even with Dugu Bo's calm disposition, he couldn't help but gasp, his scalp tingling.

Two hundred percent amplification at night? What kind of concept was that!

One had to know that for ordinary top-tier assault-type martial souls, an amplification effect of fifty percent from the second spirit ring was already the limit. Two hundred percent was comparable to the amplification of their martial soul true body.

What was the origin of this young man, no, this Young Master's martial soul?

Compared to Dugu Bo's shock, Xiao Wu and Xie Biyan were much calmer.

They were already accustomed to Bai Shu's uniqueness and were well aware of the power of his martial soul. After all, there was probably no other martial soul on the continent that could affect the surrounding environment just by being released.

After experimenting with the spirit ability, Bai Shu and his group did not linger in the Sunset Forest. Instead, they followed Dugu Bo back to his mansion in Heaven Dou City.

As for the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Bai Shu didn't mention them. One must eat one bite at a time, and win over hearts gradually.

With Xie Biyan as the big stick, giving Dugu Bo a sweet date first would make him more devoted.

As the sky was completely enveloped by the night, the four finally arrived at the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire—Heaven Dou City.

"As expected of Heaven Dou City, it's so lively even at night."

Bai Shu, carried in the air by Xie Biyan's spirit power, looked down. The city was ablaze with lights, magnificent and brilliant. The streets were bustling with people and traffic.

Various restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues were adorned with colorful lanterns, making the entire city resemble a city that never slept.

On the road, Bai Shu also saw the renowned Great Spirit Arena, its architecture grand and imposing.

Unfortunately, they had been traveling all day and were exhausted, both physically and mentally. Otherwise, they could have gone to join the fun.

Dugu Bo's mansion was located in a secluded area in the southern part of the city. It occupied a vast area but appeared somewhat desolate, with few servants.

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, a figure, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, came bounding towards them.

"Grandpa, you're finally back!"

The newcomer was a green-haired young girl, tall and beautiful. She was likely Dugu Yan.

According to the age calculation in the original work, Dugu Yan should be twelve years old at this time, five years older than Bai Shu.

However, spirit masters in the Douluo Continent developed early. Bai Shu had now obtained his second spirit ring and had grown taller, so the age difference wasn't as apparent when they stood together.

Dugu Yan affectionately linked her arm with Dugu Bo's, and then noticed the three people beside him.

Her gaze swept over the imposing Xie Biyan and the playful Xiao Wu, finally settling on Bai Shu, who walked at the very front.

Her brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of doubt and wariness in her eyes. What was her grandfather's status that he would let someone walk ahead of him?

"Grandfather, who are they?" she asked softly, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Dugu Bo forced a smile, affectionately stroking Dugu Yan's head. "Be good, Yan Yan. Go back to your room first. Grandfather will explain later."

"Oh." Though filled with questions, Dugu Yan obediently nodded. Just as she was about to turn, Bai Shu called out to her.

"Wait a moment." Bai Shu's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority. "Elder Dugu, since your granddaughter is here, why not seize the day? Let's resolve the issue of the poison backlash now."

"Now?" Dugu Bo trembled, hesitating. "This... isn't it too hasty? Perhaps I should go first..."

In his mind, it would be best for him to be the "guinea pig" first, to personally test the so-called cultivation method and ensure it was foolproof before letting Dugu Yan use it.

But Bai Shu had already turned his head and said to Xie Biyan, "Old Xie, I'll trouble you to teach them the cultivation method first and help them sort out the toxins in their bodies."

"Young Master, rest assured. It's just a cultivation method; it won't take long." Xie Biyan nodded slightly and agreed directly.

Since Bai Shu had spoken, Dugu Bo couldn't refuse any further and could only nod with a worried heart.

Xie Biyan naturally had no problem with Bai Shu's arrangement and agreed immediately.
