Arrogance Requires Skill—And I Happen to Have It!

"Beyond this poison formation?!"

Ye Guyi brightened, then frowned again.

"But this looks man-made. Could someone have already gotten here before us?!"

"Indeed, but Sister Guyi needn't worry."

Ye Han remained calm, as though everything was under control.

"The person inside doesn't have the ability to touch what's in there yet!"

Hearing that, Ye Guyi relaxed.

"Then let's find a way in. Could we fly in from above or blow it apart?!"

Ye Han shook his head.

"No. If it were that easy to enter, the outside world would have discovered it long ago."

As he spoke, he explained the poison formation in detail.

Poisonous miasma covered every direction, including the air above its center, and it could not be blown inward.

That was because the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well within generated an energy field that held the miasma in place.

The Martial Soul Hall had roughly explored even the Star Dou Forest. How could they not have investigated Sunset Forest?!

If they could have easily flown around it or blown it apart, they would have entered long ago.

Even if Bibi Dong and the Porcupinefish Douluo came, they would have to spend considerable effort.

After all, this poison formation was not created by Dugu Bo alone.

It had been arranged around a cluster of an extraordinarily poisonous flower.

The Jade Phosphor Seven-Absolute Flower!!!

After hearing this, Xiao Wu's face was full of admiration.

So easy to understand! As expected of Lord Dragon God!

Ye Guyi was just about to ask how to break the formation.

However, at that moment—

An eerie, sinister cackle suddenly came from deep within the poisonous miasma.

"Heh heh heh, you're quite a knowledgeable little brat. Unfortunately, this is as far as you go!"

"You dare trespass into this old man's forbidden ground? There is only one outcome—death!!!"

The voice shook the poisonous miasma into churning waves, the mist boiling like a living thing.

"Who is eavesdropping?!"

Ye Guyi stepped forward and shielded Ye Han and Xiao Wu behind her.

A tall figure could vaguely be seen slowly emerging from the depths of the miasma.

The newcomer wore green robes, his face deeply lined, while his gaze was as sinister as a venomous snake's.

A massive snake was attached behind him—the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor—as nine Soul Rings rose one after another.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!!

Soul power, Rank 91!!!

Ye Han did not need to think to know who the other party was.

"A Titled Douluo!!"

Xiao Wu was the first to cry out.

Dugu Bo's attention was drawn to her voice.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed soul beast!!!"

"Heh heh heh, what a gift delivered right to my door!!"

His pupils lit up as delight flooded his face.

Terrified, Xiao Wu hid behind Ye Han, her petite body trembling.

"Your Excellency must be the famed Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, correct?!"

Drawing upon records from the future, Ye Guyi took a step forward and guessed his identity.

"A dying person has no need to know!!"

Dugu Bo could not be bothered with more words and prepared to kill them.

Then seize Xiao Wu, the Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed soul beast!!

"The one who will die is you!!"

Ye Guyi's gaze sharpened as the Holy Angel descended.

Six wings spread wide, accompanied by nine rising Soul Rings.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!!

Until the final Soul Ring descended.

Red!!!

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!!!

Along with Rank 91 soul power, its aura swept in every direction.

"Ah... what?!"

Watching those Soul Rings rise one by one, Dugu Bo was instantly dumbfounded.

Though their ranks were the same, their strength under the enhancement of those Soul Rings was worlds apart!

Not to mention, among Titled Douluo, he had always been one of the weakest!

What shocked him even more was that this woman looked to be under twenty!

"Eight Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings! One Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!!"

"How is that possible? You... how did you do it?!"

Dugu Bo was completely stunned. Everything he knew had been utterly shattered.

"You have an Angel Martial Soul. You're from the Martial Soul Hall!!"

"Were you specially sent by the Martial Soul Hall to kill me?!!"

In his early years, he had refused to join the Martial Soul Hall and killed many of its elites, resulting in an order for his pursuit.

Although Prince Snow Star had later saved him, the Martial Soul Hall still bore a grudge against him, so this was the first thought that came to mind.

"A dying person has no need to know!!"

Ye Guyi threw his own words back at him.

Then, without further nonsense, she swung her holy sword and prepared to strike.

According to future records, Dugu Bo had been one of Tang San's greatest allies!

Not only had he saved him many times, but during the final battle, he had poisoned all of Spirit City to death!

Such a deeply sinful person was no different from an evil soul master! Today, he had to die!!

This is bad! Killing intent!!

Sensing the murderous intent, Dugu Bo prepared to flee back into the poison formation.

"Sister Guyi, wait!!"

At the critical moment, Ye Han stepped forward and spoke.

Ye Guyi immediately stopped.

Though confused, she trusted him completely and asked no questions.

Dugu Bo frowned, his gaze landing on Ye Han.

Ye Han did not waste words and got straight to the point.

He directly entered the redemption code for the Immortal Herb Gift Pack!

"Dugu Bo, we are not here to kill you! On the contrary, we are here to save you!"

"I can cure the poison in your body and completely resolve the flaws in your Martial Soul!!"

The moment those words fell, the entire area went silent.

Cure poison?!

Ye Guyi quickly recalled something.

According to future records, the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Martial Soul had a serious flaw!

Cultivating it produced toxins that accumulated over time before eventually erupting!

So that was why Xiao Han had stopped her from killing him. He wanted to recruit him for their own use!

"You know?!!"

Dugu Bo was greatly shocked, but he quickly gave a disdainful laugh.

"Why should this old man believe you? You look young, yet you speak with such arrogance!!"

His Martial Soul had been passed down through his family for generations.

It had a history of at least a thousand years, yet they had never found a complete solution.

Could a little brat possibly understand it better than him and all his ancestors?!

"Arrogance requires skill, and I happen to have it!"

Ye Han snorted coldly, his thoughts stirring.

"Roar!!"

The Golden Dragon Martial Soul soared into the sky.

An ultimate dragon's might instantly descended upon Dugu Bo.

"Hiss!!"

Dugu Bo was dumbfounded.

Because...

His Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Martial Soul was instinctively trembling from the depths of his soul!

Bloodline suppression!!

The Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor was considered superior even among top-tier Martial Souls, yet it was being suppressed!

But before Dugu Bo could figure out what was happening—

The next scene shattered his understanding even further!

Buzz!

The first Soul Ring...

6,913 years, deep purple!!

Buzz!

The second Soul Ring...

7,891 years, deep purple!!

Two Soul Rings rose and circled Ye Han's body.

Along with the release of his Rank 24 soul power!

"This... this is impossible!"

Dugu Bo cried out in disbelief, his emerald eyes filled with shock.

"This is the foundation of my arrogance!!"

Ye Han's words jolted Dugu Bo awake.

"You truly can cure the poison... but surely it won't be without conditions, right?!"

As an old fox, Dugu Bo understood such principles.

"Of course."

Ye Han's gaze passed over him and fell upon the poisonous miasma as he got straight to the point.

"As the price, everything beyond the poisonous miasma belongs to me!"

Dugu Bo's expression immediately darkened.

What an outrageous demand!!

"Hehe~"

Ye Han remained unhurried and merely said lightly.

"You may have grown accustomed to it, or perhaps you simply don't care, but what about your granddaughter?"

"Dugu Bo, surely you don't want your granddaughter to suffer through life as you have in the future, do you?!"

His granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had always been Dugu Bo's weakness.

When he thought of his Yan Yan, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Fine! This old man agrees! But I hope you keep your word!!"

This boy's Martial Soul and Soul Ring configuration were monstrously powerful.

The Soul Ring configuration of the woman with the Angel Martial Soul beside him was even more terrifying!

He had even tamed a Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed soul beast and kept it at his side.

There was probably no deception involved...

"Then lead the way!"

"Fine!"

Dugu Bo did not delay in the slightest and respectfully led the way.

Using his control over poison, he easily opened a passage.

The three of Ye Han followed. The deeper they went, the denser the spiritual energy became!

Passing through the jade-green poisonous miasma, the view before them suddenly opened up.

A bizarre and breathtaking scene abruptly unfolded before their eyes.

As far as the eye could see lay a vast, magnificent valley.

At the heart of the valley was a miraculous pool of red and blue spring water.

It did not cover much ground, yet the sights within were extraordinarily peculiar!

Half of the spring water was icy blue, suffused with a bone-piercing chill.

The other half was fiery red, surging with overwhelming waves of extreme heat.

Two utterly opposing forces of ice and fire somehow coexisted in the same place.

Around the spring grew countless rare immortal herbs in all manner of forms!

The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!
