One Arrow, Two Holes

"My Martial Soul has a flaw?!"

Dugu Yan froze, her face full of confusion.

"What flaw could my Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul possibly have?!"

Ye Han turned the matter over to Dugu Bo.

"Old man, you should tell your granddaughter yourself."

"What? Old man?!"

Hearing that form of address, Dugu Yan bristled.

This little brat actually dared to call her grandfather that...

How arrogant!!

But then again, considering how monstrously gifted he was, he did have the right to be arrogant!

Dugu Bo's expression turned grave as he said seriously:

"Yan Yan, you need to prepare yourself mentally!!"

"What is this? Why are you making it sound so serious?!"

Dugu Yan curled her lips, but her heart inexplicably tightened.

Dugu Bo did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

He directly laid out the flaws in their family's inherited Martial Soul in detail.

"Our family's Martial Soul really has a flaw?!"

After hearing this, Dugu Yan shot to her feet in shock, her face turning deathly pale.

"The Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul continuously releases poison during cultivation?!"

"By middle age, the poison will almost certainly backfire, leaving us to live in agony?!"

"So... the reason generations of our family, including my father, died in middle age wasn't an accident!"

"They all died from poison!"

Once Dugu Yan realized this, her face became bloodless.

She staggered backward again and again, despair flooding her entire body.

Then she suddenly remembered something, and tears nearly fell from her eyes as she asked anxiously:

"Then doesn't that mean Grandpa also..."

Ye Lingling, standing nearby, was equally stunned.

Dugu Bo had often visited her family's elders before.

It seemed he had been seeking treatment, though she never knew what exactly he was being treated for.

The poison that even her family's elders could not cure had turned out to be caused by a flaw in his Martial Soul!

"Haha~"

Seeing his granddaughter like this, Dugu Bo suddenly laughed and rubbed her head.

"Alright, alright, don't be afraid. We've already found a solution!"

"Grandpa's Martial Soul flaw has already been resolved, and it was all thanks to these people before you!"

"I invited them here this time to solve yours as well!"

Dugu Yan was shocked and delighted, but she could hardly believe it.

"Really? Grandpa, you're not lying to comfort me, are you?!"

"Of course it's true!"

Dugu Bo smiled, then looked at Ye Han.

"I'll have to ask Little Friend Ye to help!"

"Him...?!"

Remembering his heaven-defying talent, Dugu Yan could not help but believe him.

Ye Han did not waste any words.

With a faint flash in his palm, a pink, fragrant Immortal Herb floated into view.

Bzz!!

Its fragrance instantly filled the air, leaving Dugu Yan intoxicated for a moment.

Though she was Dugu Bo's granddaughter, she had never been taken to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

Seeing this object now, she found it incomparably wondrous. She had never seen anything so extraordinary.

Even Ye Lingling, despite coming from a family of healers and pharmacists, was no different!

"This is an Immortal Herb—the Aromatic Silk Beauty!"

"It is the bane of all poisons. It cannot detoxify on its own, but it can neutralize every poison in advance. If consumed before poisoning, it can prevent all poisons afterward!"

"Your cultivation is still shallow, and your Martial Soul has not yet begun releasing poison. Take it now, and there will be no hidden danger in the future!"

"With its medicinal efficacy, it will also be enough to completely resolve your Martial Soul's flaw. Its future inheritance will no longer carry any defects either!"

As Ye Han explained, he handed the Immortal Herb over.

Dugu Bo was overjoyed upon hearing this.

This Immortal Herb was even more effective than his own!

Little Friend Ye truly had not deceived him!

"Yan Yan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, thank him and accept it! This is a life-saving blessing!!"

He hurriedly urged her.

Dugu Yan had already been stunned speechless.

Only after being reminded did she come back to her senses and respectfully accept it.

"Thank you! If it can truly resolve my Martial Soul's flaw, I... I will certainly repay this great kindness!"

Dugu Bo was already growing impatient.

"Yan Yan, what are you saying? If Little Friend Ye says it can be done, then it can be done! Take it now!!"

"Alright!"

Dugu Yan immediately sat cross-legged and swallowed it.

Bzz!!!

Warm yet powerful medicinal energy instantly spread through her limbs and bones.

Pink mist enveloped Dugu Yan's body, and her Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul emerged on its own.

The aura of her Martial Soul gradually swelled, while its form began undergoing a tremendous transformation.

"What?!"

Dugu Bo shot to his feet in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"This scene... it's actually Martial Soul Evolution!"

"Yan Yan's Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul is evolving into the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor!"

One had to know that Dugu Bo himself had initially possessed the Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul.

Yet he had only evolved it into the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor after becoming a Titled Douluo!

Ye Han, however, was not too surprised by the sight.

Immortal Herbs could remedy flaws and assist in a Martial Soul's second evolution.

The Jade Phosphor Snake itself could evolve into the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor. The Immortal Herb was merely playing a supporting role.

Roar—

The next moment, the Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul behind Dugu Yan let out a hiss.

A jade crown grew from its head, its body expanded wildly, and it completely evolved into the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor!

At the same time, her Soul Power surged from level twenty-eight to level thirty!

If not for the lack of a Soul Ring restricting her, it would likely have risen even higher!

But that was fine. The excess Soul Power would be compressed and stored.

Once she obtained a new Soul Ring, it would be released and surge again!

"Ah! It worked!"

Dugu Yan abruptly opened her eyes and cried out in delight.

"My Martial Soul's flaw has been completely resolved!"

"Not only did my Martial Soul evolve, my Soul Power also rose by two full levels!"

"If I hadn't lacked a Soul Ring, it would probably have risen even higher!"

Dugu Bo was overcome with joy at the sight.

The shackles weighing upon their family for generations had finally vanished completely.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw his granddaughter suddenly pounce toward Ye Han.

She scooped up the small Ye Han and pressed him tightly against her chest.

"Thank you, little guy!!"

At that moment, Dugu Yan's prejudice against Ye Han completely disappeared.

To her now, Ye Han was her lifesaver.

"Hiss..."

The sudden warmth against him made Ye Han's body stiffen.

Although Dugu Yan was younger than him, she was exceptionally well developed.

"!!!"

Wang Qiuer had long regarded Ye Han as her beloved, and she nearly exploded when she saw this scene!

"Ahem!"

Sensing it, Ye Han quickly pulled himself free.

"I merely acted at your grandfather's request. If you want to thank someone, thank your grandfather!"

Beside them, Dugu Bo stroked his beard, growing more satisfied the longer he looked.

Now that he thought about it, Yan Yan and this boy were quite well matched.

If he could bring them together, there would be plenty of benefits in the future!

"Um..."

Dugu Yan glanced at the astonished Ye Lingling beside her.

Then she suddenly became a little shy, as if she wanted to say something.

"You have something to say?"

Ye Han had already seen what she wanted to ask.

"Mhm!"

Dugu Yan gathered her courage and nodded.

"You must have heard about the flaw of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul being passed down through only one bloodline, right?!"

"You're so amazing. Do you know how to solve it? Do you have another Immortal Herb like this?!"

Ye Lingling was her good sister, and she instinctively wanted to help her.

"Yan Yan, don't be ridiculous!!"

Dugu Bo immediately frowned and sternly stopped her.

In his view, Immortal Herbs were incomparably precious. Whether they could solve the problem or not, she should not be asking so brazenly!

They had just helped resolve their Martial Soul flaw. How could she open her mouth and ask for more?!

She was simply being thoughtless!!

"Yan Yan, there's no need to do this..."

Ye Lingling hurried forward, then turned to leave.

She had not received any benefit from Ye Han's side. How could she possibly ask for one?!

"Of course!"

But Ye Han spoke at that moment.

"I can choose to help as well!"

Ye Lingling was impeccable in talent, character, and Martial Soul!

His team also happened to be lacking a healing support-type member!

If he could recruit her for himself, that would naturally be for the best.

Now that she had asked...

As long as he helped, both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling would owe him a favor!

One arrow, two holes!!

"Really?!"

Dugu Yan was instantly stunned.

Everyone present was shocked as well.

But the most shocked of all was Ye Lingling.

Could the flaw of her Martial Soul's single-line inheritance truly be resolved?!

This was something that had plagued her family for countless generations!

But they were complete strangers. Why would he be willing to help her solve it?

There had to be an extremely harsh condition!

But no matter what that condition was, for the sake of her family, Ye Lingling would accept it!!
