"Old Poison Snake!"
"What's your Soul Power Level now?"
Ye Renxin looked at Dugu Bo and asked.
"Level eighty-five!"
"After swallowing the Nine-Grade Dragon Lingzhi and the remains of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, my Soul Power rose another level."
"That one level of Soul Power saved me a year of arduous cultivation, and there's still a great deal of medicinal potency within me."
"Within five years, I'll advance to Titled Douluo!"
After Dugu Bo had advanced to Soul Douluo, his Soul Power had increased extremely slowly—almost one level per year.
"What a fortunate opportunity, what incredible luck!"
"Your luck really does make me jealous!"
Ye Renxin was somewhat envious as well. Such a stroke of fortune was comparable to consuming a Peerless Immortal Herb!
It seemed Dugu Bo had benefited quite a bit too.
"Father!"
"After Shasha and I refined the Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine King, our Soul Power Levels both saw enormous breakthroughs."
"I broke through to level sixty!"
"Shasha broke through to level fifty as well!"
"We were planning to head to Sunset Forest to hunt Soul Beasts, but Father, you've been in seclusion the whole time!"
"We didn't dare disturb you, so we've been waiting for you!"
Dugu Xin said impatiently from the side.
"Old Poison Snake!"
"Count me in for this Soul Beast hunt!"
"Zi Yi has also broken through to level forty. I was just planning to take her to Sunset Forest to hunt her fourth ring!"
Ye Renxin pointed at Ye Ziyi as he spoke.
"Good, good, good!"
"Three joys arriving at once!"
"Looks like you've all gained quite a bit of fortune too!"
Noticing Ye Renxin's changes, Dugu Bo was delighted. It seemed Xia Mu was quite a generous fellow!
"That's right!"
"Zi Yi and I have benefited quite a bit too!"
"The fortune I have today is all thanks to that kid Xia Mu. He has done our family a great kindness!"
Ye Renxin spoke truthfully, his voice filled with relief.
"I feel exactly the same!"
"Xia Mu has also shown our Dugu Family great kindness. He is the Dugu Clan's lucky star and great benefactor!"
Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin exchanged a smile.
"Please, I can't accept that!"
"We're family, so there's no need for such formalities. You are all my elders, so please don't praise me so highly!"
Xia Mu waved his hand, not daring to accept such words.
"Elder Ye, Elder Dugu!"
"You're going to Sunset Forest to hunt Soul Beasts, so I won't be accompanying you."
"I plan to make a trip to Moonlight Pavilion!"
Xia Mu had only just returned from Slaughter City, and the killing intent around him was still extremely dense. He could not yet control it freely.
For the time being, he needed to keep a low profile and conceal his edge.
Fortunately, Tang Yuehua's Noble Domain was highly effective at suppressing killing intent, which was why Xia Mu wanted to go to Moonlight Pavilion.
"Moonlight Pavilion?"
"That is indeed a good place to go!"
"As they say, cultivation refines the heart, and training tempers the nature!"
"Tang Yuehua's Noble Domain can effectively suppress the negative effects within you!"
Ye Renxin spoke slowly, getting straight to the heart of the matter.
"Elder Ye is perceptive!"
Xia Mu nodded in agreement.
Heaven Dou City, Moonlight Pavilion!
Xia Mu brought Ling Yuan with him, and the two entered the newly established Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Yuehua's property.
Tang Yuehua was the daughter of Tang Zhen, the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. She was five years younger than Tang Hao, and her Martial Soul was the Noble Ring, mutated from the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Yuehua possessed level-nine Innate Soul Power and was born with the Noble Domain. However, because of her Martial Soul Mutation, no matter how hard she tried, she could not raise her Soul Power.
That was because her Martial Soul Mutation was incomplete!
For this reason, Tang Yuehua had become a cripple and endured much criticism within the sect.
Two years ago, Tang Yuehua had confessed her feelings to Tang Hao, only to frighten him badly.
In his panic, Tang Hao had run straight to Slaughter City to hide from the storm, even calling it training!
There was no other reason. Tang Hao did not dare face Tang Yuehua's taboo affection. He liked beastfolk, not incest.
"It is said that the Clear Sky Sect produced two peerless geniuses in this generation, known together as the Clear Sky Twin Stars."
"Tang Xiao broke through to Soul Sage at a young age, while Tang Hao followed close behind as a six-ring Soul Emperor!"
"These two will almost certainly become Titled Douluo in the future!"
After absorbing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Ling Yuan's Soul Power had surged, allowing her to break through to level forty-seven in one go.
In order to consolidate her foundation, she had followed Xia Mu to Moonlight Pavilion this time to cultivate in peace.
"That's more or less correct!"
"As far as I know, Tang Xiao has level-nine Innate Soul Power and possesses the Top-Level Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. As for Tang Hao, he possesses the rare Innate Full Soul Power!"
"Once these two grow up, they will indeed become Titled Douluo. They may even have a chance to become Super Douluo!"
Xia Mu nodded as he spoke.
Although the Clear Sky Hammer was merely a top-level assault-type tool Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Sect had produced a Tang Chen!
With his unparalleled talent, this man had forcibly opened a path straight to Titled Douluo for the Clear Sky Sect!
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and Great Sumeru Hammer created by Tang Chen had added ten Self-Created Soul Skills to the Clear Sky Sect.
"Two honored guests have arrived at Moonlight Pavilion!"
"Yuehua failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me!"
As the two spoke, Tang Yuehua slowly appeared. Clearly, she had heard their conversation as well.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master of Moonlight Pavilion!"
Xia Mu clasped his fists in salute as he spoke.
"Tang Yuehua greets the two honored guests!"
"May I ask how you two are addressed?"
What they had said earlier had given Tang Yuehua, a staunch sect loyalist, quite a favorable impression of them.
"My name is Xia Mu!"
"This is my companion, Ling Yuan!"
"We came here only to borrow the Pavilion Master's Noble Domain for a while and temper our minds in the process!"
Xia Mu candidly explained their purpose.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua looked at them again.
"Though you are young, you carry a fierce killing intent. It seems you have experienced many brutal battles before."
"As for this young lady beside you, her Soul Power is violent as fire and seems to carry a trace of desire!"
"No wonder the two of you came looking for me!"
Tang Yuehua's Noble Domain could purify the mind and temporarily suppress the negative emotions within Soul Masters.
Therefore, Moonlight Pavilion did not serve only nobles; it also catered to a great many Soul Masters.
"The Pavilion Master is perceptive!"
Xia Mu nodded, acknowledging her words.
"Let me make this clear first!"
"My fees are not low!"
"I can help purify the negative effects on you two, but I will require payment!"
"Twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins. The price is nonnegotiable!"
Tang Yuehua was no saint. She had founded Moonlight Pavilion to gather cultivation resources for the Clear Sky Sect.
"Fine!"
"Here are twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Xia Mu took out a Gold Soul Card and paid readily. Only then were the two allowed to enter Moonlight Pavilion.
"Brother Mu!"
"Look at that woman over there!"
The moment Ling Yuan entered Moonlight Pavilion, she made a major discovery. Pointing at a girl, she spoke.
"What is it?"
Xia Mu asked in confusion.
"I think I can sense her Martial Soul!"
The instant Ling Yuan entered, she discovered that her Martial Soul seemed to have formed a rare resonance with that woman's.
"This is... Soul Power resonance!"
"Don't tell me it's another Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Xia Mu's eyes widened. This coincidence was far too incredible—he had encountered this again!
"My name is Shui Qingwu!"
"I come from the Tianshui Clan of Dragon City!"
"May I ask what your names are?"
Clearly, Shui Qingwu had sensed the anomaly too. She approached the two and took the initiative to introduce herself.
"What a beautiful little sister!"
Ling Yuan cried out in surprise, unable to help praising her.
Shui Qingwu was not very old, appearing to be around fifteen. She stood about one meter sixty-five tall, with a loli-like face, a voluptuous figure, and a head of long aqua-blue hair.
Her childish face paired with her explosive figure created an enormous sense of contrast!
