Kong Deming had long since fused his Life-Bound Soul Tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier, with his own Silver Moon Martial Soul, breaking through to become the only Level 10 Soul Engineer of the present age.
And his Fifth Soul Skill could split the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier into two.
"Damn it, is this excellency really going to attack me?"
Dugu Bo roared, and his seventh spirit ring lit up.
His entire body transformed into a giant Jade Phosphor Serpent dozens of meters long, and its tail lashed viciously against the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier enveloping him.
That strike, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter stone, landed on the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier without raising even the slightest ripple.
As silver light flickered, Dugu Bo, who had already unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, was completely enveloped by the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier just like that.
Kong Deming beckoned with his hand, and the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier, which had also expanded as Dugu Bo unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, rapidly shrank.
Together with Dugu Bo inside it, it quickly shrank as well, then returned to Kong Deming's hand.
Looking at the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier in Kong Deming's hand, Ning Fengzhi's cheek twitched hard.
Dugu Bo was still a Titled Douluo, after all, yet under Kong Deming's hand, he had not even lasted a single move.
Even Bone Douluo at the side wore a grave expression.
In any case, he could not take down Dugu Bo this easily.
"Your Excellency Silver Moon, Dugu Bo is a Chaplain of the Heaven Dou Empire Royal Family. If you do this, wouldn't it..."
Ning Fengzhi could not help speaking.
Although he did not finish, everyone understood what he meant.
"Our Pavilion Master wants to see him. For him, it will only be a good thing."
Kong Deming shook his head and did not waste words with Ning Fengzhi and the others. With a flash, he returned to the residence.
"Teacher... what do we do now?"
Looking at Kong Deming's vanishing figure and the silver barrier still covering the residence, Xue Qinghe could not help asking Ning Fengzhi.
"This excellency probably isn't someone fond of killing. Perhaps he really does have business with Dugu Bo?"
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and could only arrive at that conclusion.
"Send a few people to keep watch here. Don't get too close. Let's see how things develop."
"Yes, teacher."
Xue Qinghe nodded and hurried back to make arrangements.
And regarding the appearance of an unknown 100,000-year Titled Douluo, she also had to quickly report it to her grandfather.
"Young Pavilion Master, I've invited the man here for you."
Kong Deming returned to the small courtyard, the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier in his palm still spinning nonstop.
"As expected of a Level 10 Soul Tool. In a certain sense, it's already no inferior to a Divine Artifact."
Ye Ling looked at Kong Deming's Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier, and a trace of envy flashed through his eyes.
A Level 10 Soul Tool—who wouldn't want one?
"No inferior to a Divine Artifact? Hmph!"
"My goal is to create a true Divine Artifact!"
Kong Deming's gaze was exceptionally firm.
"All right, Elder Kong. Let Dugu Bo out first."
"He's a dignified Titled Douluo expert, after all. He must not be lightly humiliated."
Ye Ling waved his hand as he spoke.
Hearing this, a ray of light shot out from the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier in Kong Deming's palm, and Dugu Bo, who had already withdrawn his Martial Soul Avatar, appeared before the three of them.
"Senior Dugu, there's no need to be so tense."
Looking at Dugu Bo, who was extremely on guard, the spirit rings before him constantly flickering, Ye Ling smiled.
"Besides, if we truly harbored ill intentions toward you, I'm afraid you would already have been reduced to ashes just now."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression remained very wary.
"Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
"Our faction is called Mending Heaven Pavilion. I am Ye Ling, the Young Pavilion Master of Mending Heaven Pavilion. I invited Senior Dugu here because there is something I wish to discuss."
Ye Ling's demeanor was calm and composed, and his words were neither servile nor overbearing. He showed not the slightest tension when facing a Titled Douluo.
"Invited? That method of yours counts as an invitation?"
Dugu Bo snorted, but his body gradually relaxed.
He had figured it out. If the other side really wanted to kill him, then with that Titled Douluo who possessed a 100,000-Year Ninth Ring, he would not have the slightest ability to resist.
"Senior Dugu comes and goes like a divine dragon glimpsed only by its head and never its tail. Since we happened to encounter you today, we had no choice but to use such a method. Please forgive us."
Ye Ling rose and cupped his hands toward Dugu Bo in apology.
"Speak. What is your purpose in seeking me out?"
Seeing that he had been given a way down, Dugu Bo's expression also eased.
"Kid, your martial soul is the Jade Phosphor Serpent. Although you have cultivated to the realm of Titled Douluo, I imagine your body has grown increasingly unable to bear the burden over the years, hasn't it?"
Ye Ling did not speak. Instead, Du Busi at the side opened his mouth.
"What do you mean!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo suddenly rose to his feet. Nine spirit rings flashed around him once more, and he stared with an unfriendly expression at Du Busi, whose appearance was rather similar to his own.
"Looks like your body has suffered a backlash from the snake venom produced by your martial soul."
Du Busi ignored the nine spirit rings flashing around Dugu Bo and instead sized him up from head to toe.
"The toxins accumulated in your body are quite severe. Even your skin and hair have turned dark green because of the poison."
Hearing this, Ye Ling and Kong Deming at the side could not help glancing at Du Busi's dark-green hair and beard.
How should one put it?
If they were really going by that, Du Busi looked far more severely poisoned than Dugu Bo.
"If you have no descendants, that's one thing. But if you do, I'm afraid your descendants would be born from the womb already carrying poison."
"You're courting death!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes turned blood-red, and he spat a mouthful of poisonous mist toward Du Busi.
His son and granddaughter being infected with Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison was the most painful thing in his life. He would never allow anyone to say it so casually.
"Yo, you really can't tell who's the boss here?"
Du Busi smiled, and then the poisonous mist Dugu Bo had spat out was actually inhaled straight into his body in one gulp.
"The poison of a Titled Douluo? Not bad, but still a little lacking."
"You... you... you actually swallowed my Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison?"
Dugu Bo pointed at Du Busi, his eyes full of disbelief.
One had to know, even his old rivals Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei would not dare swallow in one gulp the poisonous mist spat out by his true body like this.
Of course, no one would be bored enough to actually swallow the poisonous mist he spat out either.
Leaving aside whether it was poisonous or not, at the very least, it was extremely unhygienic.
"Kid, who do you think I am?"
Du Busi snorted.
Beneath him, nine spirit rings appeared in sequence: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red.
"How is that possible!"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, his expression filled with shock.
Although he had long since guessed that the person before him was a Titled Douluo,
he had absolutely never imagined that this Titled Douluo would actually have three 100,000-year spirit rings.
That vast Titled Douluo pressure, something he was far from able to contend with, nearly made him suffocate.
"Three... Three 100,000-Year Spirit Rings?"
Dugu Bo muttered to himself.
This spirit ring configuration, which he had never seen before and had not even damn well heard of, directly shattered Dugu Bo's worldview.
"This old man is titled Body, a Level 98 Super Douluo."
Du Busi was very satisfied with Dugu Bo's shock.
"The problems in your body, and even the problems in your descendants' bodies, this old man can solve them all."
"But as a condition, you must join our Mending Heaven Pavilion."
