Grandfather Dugu Bo, Future Poison Douluo!

"I never thought I'd transmigrate. And to the familiar Douluo Continent, no less—and as Dugu Bo's own grandson!"

At the dining table sat a boy with short black hair and fair skin, like a porcelain doll, eating his meal.

His name was Dugu Yao. He was a transmigrator who had come to the Douluo World six years ago. Strangely enough, his memories had only awakened today.

Across from him sat his father and mother. His father, Dugu Xin, was currently a level 68 Soul Emperor. He had long jade-green hair and a stern, meticulous face.

Beside his father sat his mother, Lin Wanqiu, a level 65 Soul Emperor. She had long black hair, beautiful and dignified features, and a gentle expression.

Beside him sat his younger sister, Dugu Yan. She had short black hair and an adorable appearance, and she was currently wolfing down the rice in her bowl.

"Yao'er, Yanyan, today is the day you awaken your Martial Souls. After we finish eating, we'll take you to see your grandfather so he can help you awaken them."

Lin Wanqiu spoke with a smile. As she looked at her two little treasures eating, the love on her face nearly overflowed.

"Yay!" Dugu Yan said happily. She was clearly looking forward to awakening her Martial Soul.

Dugu Yao merely nodded slightly and continued eating quietly. If nothing unexpected happened, his Martial Soul should be the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul was extremely powerful and possessed extraordinarily potent poison attacks. Its strength was beyond doubt. Furthermore, once its user reached the rank of Titled Douluo, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul could evolve into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul and become even stronger!

However, because the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul was a beast Martial Soul, its poison would fuse with its wielder's body. Although Soul Power could suppress and balance it to some extent, the poison would gradually become part of the body over time, causing tremendous harm.

This was the flaw of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul. Once the poison inside the body could no longer be suppressed and balanced, the consequences would be severe—death by poison!

His father, Dugu Xin, had jade-green hair precisely because the poison of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul had accumulated within his body. His grandfather, Dugu Bo, was the same.

Although the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul possessed a fatal flaw, it was a major problem for his grandfather and father.

But for him, solving this problem would not be difficult.

The memories of his previous life awakening today were his greatest treasure.

There were currently only two methods to resolve the flaw of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul.

The first was to consume the Immortal Herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye—the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot—then rely on the medicinal effects of the two herbs, along with powerful Soul Power, to completely dissolve the poison in the body!

The side effect was that after the poison was dissolved, the poison attacks the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul took pride in would disappear completely, reducing it to an ordinary Martial Soul.

Therefore, the first method was not viable. He could only rely on the second.

He had to find a host to store the poison and place it all within a Soul Bone.

All the poison had to be forced into a Soul Bone for storage. A limb Soul Bone would be best, but even that method still had flaws.

Once the Soul Bone could no longer withstand the poison stored within it, the poison would erupt completely, and the Soul Master would still perish.

Therefore, the host had to be a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone with an extremely high age!

Unfortunately, Soul Bones were treasures to Soul Masters. Even a thousand-year Soul Bone was exceedingly precious. Finding a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone would not be easy.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Why haven't you said anything? You look so serious." Dugu Yan blinked her large eyes and looked at her brother in confusion.

Hearing this, Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu also looked over curiously. Since this morning, their son had seemed somewhat different. They had no idea what he had been thinking about.

"It's nothing. I'm just a little excited and nervous because I'll be awakening my Martial Soul today. I don't know what my talent will be like, so I'm feeling uncertain," Dugu Yao said with a smile.

Dugu Xin smiled and reassured him, "It's only awakening a Martial Soul. There's no need to be nervous."

"Your Martial Souls should be the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul. Although your mother's Poisonous Illusion Eye is also very powerful, it is still slightly inferior to the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul."

"Our Dugu family's inherited Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul has the strongest poison abilities," Dugu Xin said proudly.

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up as she chirped, "I want to awaken the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul! I want to awaken the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul!"

Dugu Yao looked at his adorable younger sister. Little girl, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul isn't that great. It harms others and harms its wielder too. If I had a choice, I'd rather awaken Mother's Martial Soul. At least it doesn't have such a strange flaw.

Of the two methods that could resolve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul's flaw, the first would completely destroy its poison abilities, so it was obviously not an option.

The second was not a permanent solution either. Soul Bones were immensely precious. Finding a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone with an extremely high age was like searching for a needle in the sea.

After finishing their meal, Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu took Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan out of Dugu Manor.

Dugu Yao's home, Dugu Manor, was located in a small town fifty li outside Sunset Forest. His parents ran a medicine shop, selling herbs to earn Gold Soul Coins and support the family.

As for his grandfather, Dugu Bo, he lived in Sunset Forest because of his solitary temperament and rarely left the place.

"Sunset Forest, Sunset Forest, here I come!" Dugu Yan danced excitedly. The thing that made her happiest was going to play in her grandfather's Medicine Garden.

"This girl..." Lin Wanqiu said with a smile as she looked at the excited Dugu Yan in her arms.

While Dugu Yan was held in Lin Wanqiu's arms, Dugu Yao received distinctly different treatment. His father, Dugu Xin, simply tucked him under his arm, and he looked enviously at his sister.

"Father, can you stop being so rough with me? Look at my sister in Mother's arms, then look at me," Dugu Yao could not help complaining.

Dugu Xin burst out laughing. "A real man doesn't need to be treated so delicately."

Hearing that lousy explanation, Dugu Yao could only sigh helplessly, looking resentful as the wind slapped against his face.

The four of them moved quickly—or rather, Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu moved quickly. They were already extremely familiar with the road leading to Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden.

Before long, they arrived before a cave. After entering it and walking out through its far end, another world appeared before their eyes.

It was a valley. The surrounding ground was exceptionally flat, and all around were countless medicinal herbs. At the center of the valley was a spring where blue and red intertwined.

"You're here." A deep voice rang out as a jade-green figure suddenly appeared before the four of them.

The man had a stern face, as though carved from the same mold as Dugu Xin's. He also possessed the distinctive jade-green hair, though compared to Dugu Xin, he appeared much older.

When he saw Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's stern face instantly broke into a smile. "Yao'er, Yanyan, did you miss Grandpa?"
