Dugu Bo Pays His Respects to the Saint Child

"Grandfather, are you alright?"

After the two separated, Dugu Yan immediately ran over and supported Dugu Bo, whose legs were trembling slightly.

Dugu Bo let out a heavy breath and raised his head to curse, "How could I be alright? That brat is practically built like a bull!"

"That strength was ridiculous. He nearly shook these old bones of mine apart!"

Sea Maiden Douluo, standing nearby, gave a soft snort and smiled. "Now you know how formidable our Holy Son is, don't you?"

The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly.

This was no longer merely formidable. This was a monster!

What kind of talented genius could directly contend with a Martial Soul Avatar while only a Soul King?

This brat had done it.

Without precedent.

With the might of a Soul King, he had shattered Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Avatar!

Xiao Wu also ran beneath Huang Long at that moment. Looking up at him still flying in the sky, she asked, "Lord Dragon God, you weren't hurt, were you?"

"I'm fine."

Huang Long smiled, then gently flapped the wings behind him and slowly descended from the sky.

His martial soul was Yinglong. The defensive power of those golden dragon scales was no joke.

On top of that, his fifth soul skill, Earth Bears All Things, increased his defense fourfold.

Forget injuries—there was not even a single mark on his dragon scales.

Dugu Bo asked, "Brat, what exactly are those bizarre soul skills of yours? You can breathe fire, manipulate wind, water, and earth elements."

"And aren't you only a Soul King right now? How do you have so many soul skills?"

He had not counted carefully just now, but he could tell that at least a dozen different soul skills had struck him simultaneously.

Wind blades, water arrows, earth walls, wind walls...

What the hell were all those things?

Sea Dragon Douluo stepped forward to explain, "The Holy Son's third, fourth, and fifth soul skills allow him to freely control wind, water, and earth elements."

"The attacks you encountered just now were elemental attacks launched through his free control of those three elements. You can think of them as Self-Created Soul Skills."

When Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan heard those final four words, their eyes widened like bronze bells.

"Self... Self-Created Soul Skills!"

Dugu Yan asked in shock, "How old are you? You already know how to create your own soul skills?"

Huang Long smiled and waved his hand. "They were all things I came up with when I was bored. After practical combat training, I gradually figured them out."

The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. "You brat really are a freak!"

Creating one's own soul skills required an extremely deep understanding of one's martial soul abilities, extensive combat experience, and precise control over Soul Power.

Let alone a soul master his age—even many Titled Douluo could not accomplish it.

Yet this brat had actually said that he came up with them when he was bored, then comprehended them through actual combat!

If that was not freakish, what was?

Dugu Bo examined Huang Long closely.

Not only was his comprehension freakish.

His martial soul was equally freakish.

Even his soul rings were freakish!

Sea Maiden Douluo gave a proud snort. "You should admit defeat now, right? Let me tell you, the Holy Son didn't even use his full strength."

"He still has an innate domain talent that he hasn't used. If he had used it, you would have lost long ago."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at Huang Long in surprise again. "You still have trump cards you haven't used?"

"A few more," Huang Long replied with a smile.

He truly had not used his innate domain, nor had he used the other moves among the Yinglong Four Supreme Arts.

Dugu Bo tugged slightly at the corner of his mouth and sighed helplessly. "Enough, enough. This old man doesn't want to know what other trump cards you have."

"This battle was my loss. You freak are too strange. If I don't use my full strength, I truly have no way of taking you down."

Huang Long raised his brows slightly and asked with a smile, "Then does Your Excellency agree to join us?"

Dugu Bo nodded lightly. "Since it was an agreement made beforehand, this old man will keep his promise."

But as he spoke, he suddenly paused and asked in confusion, "Now can you tell me where exactly you come from?"

Huang Long replied with a smile, "Of course. Since we'll all be family from now on, there's no harm in telling Your Excellency."

"The three of us all come from Sea God Island overseas. Perhaps Your Excellency is more familiar with the name Demon Island."

Upon hearing the words Sea God Island, Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly trembled.

"Devil Island! You came from Devil Island!"

Dugu Yan asked curiously, "Grandpa, what is Devil Island?"

Dugu Bo looked at Huang Long, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Sea Maiden Douluo with a complicated expression.

"More than thirty years ago, Spirit Hall assembled over two thousand soul masters, including two Titled Douluo who led an expedition overseas."

"In less than a month, all two thousand-plus soul masters from Spirit Hall, along with the two Titled Douluo, were killed. Not a single one survived."

"Although Spirit Hall never announced this war to the public, some information still spread."

"And that was how Devil Island became famous."

After hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Huang Long.

Sea Dragon Douluo said flatly, "Those two thousand-plus soul masters you mentioned were killed by the seven of us, including those two Titled Douluo."

"So that's how it was..."

Dugu Bo shook his head with a bitter smile.

No wonder they were so terrifyingly powerful. If they had come from Devil Island, then everything made sense.

Huang Long asked, "Since Your Excellency already knows, you won't be backing out now, right?"

"Do I have any other choice?" Dugu Bo shot him a glance.

The corners of Sea Dragon Douluo's lips curved slightly. "Dugu Bo, you won't regret the decision you made today."

"The foundation of our Sea God Island far exceeds your imagination."

"As long as you follow the Holy Son properly, neither you nor your granddaughter will lose out."

Dugu Bo nodded lightly. Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he asked, "Then this kid holds quite a high status on your Sea God Island?"

Sea Maiden Douluo replied, "Very high. The Holy Son is the disciple of the High Priest and the one who will inherit the position of High Priest of Sea God Island in the future."

"Oh, and by the way, the High Priest is one of the Three Great Peerless you speak of—the Sea God Douluo."

"So it's the Sea God Douluo!" Dugu Bo was already numb from all the shocks he had received today.

Fortunately, his heart was still strong enough. Otherwise, with so much information crashing down on him, he would have fainted long ago.

He took a light breath and steadied himself before cupping his fists toward Huang Long. "Dugu Bo greets the Holy Son."

Huang Long was immediately delighted.

With Dugu Bo joining him, he finally had some people under his command.

He hurriedly took hold of Dugu Bo's hands and smiled. "Your Excellency, there's no need for such formality. Since we're outside, there's no need to call me the Holy Son. It's better to keep things casual."

As he spoke, he turned to Sea Dragon Douluo. "Uncle Sea Dragon, I'm a little hungry. Is there anything left to eat?"

"Ah, I forgot to buy some!" Sea Dragon Douluo slapped his forehead and hurriedly activated Martial Soul Possession.

"I'll head to Heaven Dou City right now and buy something to bring back."

Seeing this, Dugu Bo hurriedly waved him off. "No need to go. I have food here!"

"Whenever my poison acts up, I come here to use the Ice and Fire energy to suppress it, often staying for several days at a time."

"So I usually keep some food prepared here."

As he spoke, he looked at Dugu Yan. "Yanyan, have a good chat with the Holy Son. You're young people—you'll have things to talk about."

Only then did he look at Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo. "You two, would you mind giving me a hand?"
