Dual Cultivation with Spirit Kite Douluo? Yin and Yang in Harmony!

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter before him.

"He humiliated you, yet not only do you not want to kill him, you even want to marry him?"

"What kind of logic is that?"

Dugu Yan said righteously,

"Long Tian hit me in front of so many people."

"My innocence has been ruined by him. Of course he has to take responsibility."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched several times.

"You were merely hit once. How did that ruin your innocence?"

"Don't tell me you took a fancy to his looks?"

Dugu Yan's cheeks heated up, and she turned her gaze aside.

"That's not my fault either."

"Long Tian really is too handsome."

"I've never seen such a good-looking man."

Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment.

His granddaughter had been proud since childhood. There were more noble young masters pursuing her in Heaven Dou City than anyone could count.

Dugu Yan had never given any of them a second glance.

Yet today, after just being bullied by someone, she wanted to capture him and make him her husband.

"So being handsome means he can do whatever he wants?"

Dugu Yan pursed her red lips.

"I don't care."

"Long Tian bullied me, so he has to take responsibility."

"Grandpa, hurry and bring him back."

"Remember, you're not allowed to hurt him or ruin his face."

Seeing his granddaughter like this, Dugu Bo raised a hand to press against his forehead.

"How did a man of my illustrious reputation raise such a lovestruck granddaughter?"

Dugu Yan immediately urged him on.

"Grandpa!"

"Stop asking and go to Skywater Academy already."

Dugu Bo had wanted to refuse.

But when he saw the expectant look in his granddaughter's eyes, he finally gave in.

Ever since she was little, as long as Dugu Yan asked, he rarely refused her.

"Fine."

"Who told you that you're this old man's only granddaughter?"

"I'll personally make a trip to Skywater Academy and bring that Long Tian back."

Joy immediately appeared on Dugu Yan's face.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Dugu Bo raised his hand and released his Soul Power.

Nine Soul Rings rose behind him one after another.

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled into view, and thick poisonous mist blanketed the valley.

The next moment.

The gray-robed figure shot into the sky and headed straight for Skywater Academy.

Skywater Academy.

After winning the exchange match, everyone returned to Ice and Snow City in the academy carriage.

The carriage stopped before the academy gates.

Shui Yue'er was the first to jump down.

"We're finally back!"

"I'm going to tell everyone about today's battle right away."

"The news that Emperor Team lost to Skywater Academy will definitely make everyone happy."

Xue Wu stepped down from the carriage.

"Do you want to tell everyone, or do you want everyone to know that the captain defeated Yu Tianheng in one move?"

Shui Yue'er thought about it seriously.

"Both."

Yu Hairou and the others could not help laughing.

Long Tian was the last to step out of the carriage.

Shui Bing'er followed closely beside him, her pale blue dress fluttering gently in the cold wind.

"We traveled all day and took part in a battle."

"Everyone should go back and rest first."

"Starting tomorrow, we'll continue our team coordination training."

Shui Yue'er nodded.

"Don't worry, Sister."

"With the captain's support, the Soul Master Tournament championship will definitely belong to Tianshui."

Long Tian looked at everyone.

"Emperor Team is not the strongest opponent in the tournament."

"The Spirit Hall Team is far stronger than Emperor Team."

"Today's victory only proves that we have the qualifications to contend for the championship."

Xue Wu's smile faded.

"The captain is right."

"We can't relax over the next three months."

After exchanging a few brief words, everyone returned to their respective residences.

Shui Bing'er came before Long Tian.

"This was your first time using the Myriad Thunder Soul-Fusing Seal, yet your control over the soul skill is already highly proficient."

Long Tian gently shook his head.

"The timing of the thunder seal's detonation can still be more precise."

"When facing Yu Tianheng today, I suppressed most of its power."

"If I had detonated it at full strength, he would already be dead."

Shui Bing'er nodded.

"Are you planning to continue cultivating?"

"I'll practice a little longer."

Long Tian looked toward the secluded courtyard.

"The third soul skill still has many variations. I need to master them completely as soon as possible."

Shui Bing'er did not stop him.

"Then rest early."

"I'll come find you tomorrow."

"Alright."

The two parted at the courtyard gate.

Long Tian entered the cultivation room alone.

The door slowly closed, shutting out the cold wind outside.

Inside the cultivation room, the Cold Jade Bed emitted a faint mist.

Long Tian did not begin cultivating immediately. Instead, he recalled today's battle.

After the Myriad Thunder Soul-Fusing Seal entered Yu Tianheng's body, it successfully sealed the lightning essence of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Afterward, every attack from Shui Bing'er and the others was recorded and stored by the thunder seal.

The more attacks it absorbed, the greater the power of its final detonation.

"If I use the thunder seal on an ally, it can enhance lightning-element power and even take a fatal blow for them."

"If I use it on an enemy, it can suppress their attributes and accumulate attacks."

"The same soul skill possesses two entirely opposite effects."

Long Tian raised his right hand.

His third black Soul Ring slowly rose.

Nine-colored lightning gathered in his palm, quickly forming an intricate dragon seal.

Fine patterns covered the surface of the thunder seal.

Every pattern contained the True Dragon Law and the lightning essence of the Thunderclap Demon Wolf.

Long Tian controlled his Soul Power and tried to further restrain the thunder seal's energy.

Only by making it formless and traceless could it achieve better results in battle.

The nine-colored radiance gradually dimmed.

The thunder seal in his palm slowly shrank as well.

Just then.

The Rainbow Dragon's Heart suddenly thudded heavily once.

Long Tian's entire body immediately tensed.

The temperature inside the cultivation room did not change at all.

Yet from the shadow in the corner came an exceedingly dangerous aura.

Someone had infiltrated the cultivation room.

And the intruder was incredibly powerful.

Long Tian swiftly turned around.

"Who's there!"

The cultivation room was silent.

There was no response from the corner.

Long Tian did not lower his guard.

Nine-Colored Divine Light erupted from within him.

The massive phantom of the Rainbow Dragon appeared directly above the cultivation room.

Yellow, yellow, black.

Three Soul Rings rose one after another.

The black third Soul Ring slowly rotated, and the Myriad Thunder Soul-Fusing Seal condensed once more in his palm.

Long Tian stared at that shadow.

"Since you're here, why hide like a coward?"

After a long while.

A soft chuckle came from the corner.

"Not bad."

"A mere Soul Elder actually managed to discover this old man."

The shadow slowly dispersed.

A green-haired old man stepped out from within.

His gray robes hung to his feet. His face was gaunt, and his jade-green eyes sized up Long Tian.

The aura of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor had already sealed the entire cultivation room.

Long Tian did not retreat.

"Who are you?"

The old man clasped his hands behind his back.

"Who this old man is, you'll soon find out."

"Now, come with this old man."

"If you cooperate obediently, you'll suffer a little less."

Long Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.

The other man had bypassed every guard in Skywater Academy and entered the secluded courtyard without making a sound.

That level of cultivation was not something a Soul Douluo could achieve.

"What if I refuse to go?"

The green-haired old man snorted coldly.

"That is not for you to decide."

"This old man is Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."

"You bullied this old man's granddaughter in the Soul Arena and humiliated her in public."

"For that alone, you deserve to die ten thousand times over."

Upon hearing that name, alarm immediately rose in Long Tian's heart.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

A level ninety-one control-type Titled Douluo, whose Martial Soul was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and whose poisonous arts were unrivaled across the continent.

With Long Tian's current strength, even with the Rainbow True Dragon Bloodline, he could not confront a Titled Douluo head-on.

Moreover, this place had already been sealed off by poisonous mist.

Once he left Skywater Academy with Dugu Bo, he would completely lose the initiative.

He absolutely could not go with him.

Long Tian gathered his thoughts and looked at the green-haired old man before him.

"Dugu Bo."

"Whenever it rains or the weather turns damp, do your ribs go numb?"

"At midnight and noon each day, do you also feel a piercing pain inside your body?"

Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly constricted.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison he had been about to release also halted in midair.

"How did you know?"

This matter was Dugu Bo's greatest secret.

Whenever the weather turned rainy or damp, his ribs would go numb.

At midnight and noon every day, he would suffer an even more agonizing, needle-like pain within his body.

Even after searching through countless medical texts and trying innumerable methods, he had been unable to alleviate those symptoms.

Yet Long Tian had seen through everything with a single glance.

"Because you are not using poison."

"You are using your own body to nurture poison."

Long Tian withdrew the Myriad Thunder Soul-Fusing Seal, his Nine-Colored Double Pupils slowly sweeping over Dugu Bo's entire body.

"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's poison is too potent. Your body cannot fully withstand it."

"The higher your Soul Power, the more toxins accumulate within your body."

"By now, your internal organs, bones, and meridians have all been eroded by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison."

Dugu Bo's expression changed repeatedly.

"Go on."

Long Tian looked at the old man's hands.

"Your nails and hair have already turned completely green."

"Your sunken eye sockets and withered skin are also signs that the poison has invaded your blood and vital energy."

"In recent years, the duration of that needle-like pain has been growing longer and longer."

"If you do not deal with it in time, within twenty years at most, you will be poisoned to death by your own Martial Soul."

The cultivation room fell silent once more.

Dugu Bo stared at the white-clad figure before him.

Every point Long Tian had mentioned perfectly matched his own condition.

Even the steadily increasing duration of the pain had not been wrong in the slightest.

"You were indeed right about my condition."

Dugu Bo stepped forward, and the pressure of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor descended once more.

"But what does this have to do with Yanyan?"

Long Tian remained calm.

The pressure of a Titled Douluo enveloped his entire body, yet his white robes were not disturbed in the slightest.

"The poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul can be passed down through bloodlines."

"Dugu Yan's poisoning is far milder than yours for now."

"However, the higher her cultivation becomes, the faster the toxins will accumulate."

"Fine green lines should have already appeared at the base of her nails."

"Whenever she uses her third soul skill extensively, she experiences twisting pain in her lower abdomen."

"Late at night, the meridians in her right leg also become stiff."

Dugu Bo's hands behind his back suddenly clenched tight.

Dugu Yan had indeed mentioned those symptoms to him.

It was simply that Dugu Bo had not taken them seriously at the time.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent was poisonous by nature.

It was not uncommon for a Soul Master to experience slight discomfort after using poison-type soul skills.

But now, it seemed that those reactions had not been caused by Soul Power consumption at all.

"How much longer can Yanyan live?"

Dugu Bo's expression turned exceptionally ugly.

Long Tian did not conceal the truth.

"At the current rate of toxin accumulation, ten years at most."

"If she breaks through to Soul Sage within those ten years, the time will be even shorter."

"Nonsense!"

Dugu Bo abruptly swept his sleeve.

Emerald poisonous mist slammed into the wall, immediately corroding large dents into the hard stone bricks.

"Yanyan has always been in good health."

"She is my only granddaughter. How could she have only ten years left to live?!"

Long Tian remained where he stood.

"You do not have to believe me."

"After you return, inspect her Baihui acupoint, Shanzhong acupoint, and the meridians in her right leg."

"The Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison has already entered her bone marrow."

"As long as you examine her with Soul Power, you will have your answer."

Dugu Bo did not respond at once.

Those jade-green eyes remained fixed on Long Tian.

"Since you can see the problem, do you have a solution?"

"Yes."

That single simple word made Dugu Bo's breathing hitch.

"You can cure the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison?"

Long Tian nodded lightly.

"Though the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison is powerful, it is not incurable."

"As long as the poison is separated from the body and an object capable of containing the deadly poison is found, your cultivation and life can be preserved."

"Dugu Yan's poisoning is still shallow, so treating her will be even simpler."

Dugu Bo took another half-step forward.

"What makes you think I should believe you?"

"I never asked you to believe me."

Long Tian met Dugu Bo's gaze.

"Today, you barged into my cultivation room and intended to take me away by force."

"You are the one asking me for help with the detoxification."

"Whether you believe me is also your choice."

Dugu Bo's face darkened.

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor slowly coiled behind him.

"Aren't you afraid that I will capture you and force you to hand over the detoxification method?"

"You can try."

Long Tian raised his right hand.

A fiery red feather appeared in his palm.

Titled Douluo-level Soul Power slowly circulated across its surface.

"As soon as this Lingyuan Feather shatters, my teacher will arrive immediately."

"Besides, the detoxification process requires me to personally control elemental power."

"Even if you take the method, you still will not be able to save Dugu Yan."

Dugu Bo stared at the fiery red feather, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

Spirit Kite Douluo was also a Titled Douluo.

If the two fought at Skywater Academy, it would surely draw the attention of even more powerful figures.

More importantly, Dugu Yan's life might truly be in Long Tian's hands.

"I will believe you for now."

Dugu Bo withdrew his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul.

The emerald poisonous mist permeating the cultivation room was also completely drawn back into his body.

"I will examine Yanyan's body."

"If everything turns out exactly as you said, I will come find you again."

Long Tian put away the Lingyuan Feather.

"Once you have thought it through, you may come to Skywater Academy at any time."

"But next time, remember to enter through the front gate."

The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched.

A dignified Titled Douluo had actually been lectured by a Soul Elder.

Yet at this moment, Dugu Bo could not simply turn hostile.

"Long Tian."

"If you dare deceive me, even if Spirit Kite Douluo protects you, I will not let this go."

"If you truly can save Yanyan, the Dugu Family will owe you a favor."

The gray-robed figure merged into the emerald poisonous mist.

The next moment, Dugu Bo had vanished from the cultivation room.

As Long Tian sensed the aura rapidly retreating into the distance, the Nine-Colored Divine Light around him gradually receded.

Yet the fiery red feather lit up on its own at that moment.

Scorching flames rose from within the feather.

A spatial rift subsequently appeared in the center of the cultivation room.

Ling Yuan stepped out from the firelight.

Her fitted red dress swayed gently with her Soul Power, making her mature, voluptuous figure particularly striking.

Beneath the high-slit skirt, a pair of fair legs stretched straight and slender.

Her fiery red high heels crossed the floor, leaving behind fine sparks.
