Dugu Yan Tests Her Physical Strength—Both Siblings Are Monsters!

"Alright, we'll do as you suggested. We'll start with the pressure of Level 30, increasing it by five levels each time. Once we reach Level 40, we'll increase it by one level each time!"

Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan before him, his face brimming with a smile.

Dugu Yan, meanwhile, stood ready, unsure whether she could withstand the pressure of Level 45. Yet determination showed in her eyes as she calmly said, "Grandfather, let's begin!"

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of Level 30!" Dugu Bo said.

As his voice fell, the Level 30 pressure suddenly descended upon Dugu Yan. Yet such pressure clearly could no longer exert any strain on her, and she wore a calm smile.

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of Level 35!" Seeing that Dugu Yan was unaffected, Dugu Bo directly raised the pressure by five levels.

Dugu Yan felt the pressure on her body but remained unfazed. Even before she absorbed her last Soul Ring, her physical strength had already allowed her to withstand the pressure of Level 34.

Moreover, over the past two months, she had been consuming Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue regularly. Combined with the Meridian Cleansing Pill she had now taken, which cleansed her marrow and purged the impurities from her body—

the pressure of Level 35 could no longer affect her in the slightest!

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of Level 40. From here on, I'll increase the pressure by one level each time," Dugu Bo said calmly, raising the pressure directly to Level 40.

Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu watched anxiously as Dugu Yan stood beneath Dugu Bo's pressure, wondering whether Yanyan could withstand the pressure of Level 45.

When the pressure reached Level 40, Dugu Yan clearly felt its weight. However, she had not yet reached her limit. Otherwise, her Martial Soul would have automatically manifested to help ease the pressure.

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of Level 41!" Dugu Bo raised the pressure by one level.

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of Level 42!" Dugu Bo raised the pressure by one level.

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of Level 43!" Dugu Bo raised the pressure by one level.

When the pressure reached Level 43, Dugu Yan was clearly struggling to hold on. She dropped to one knee, pain appearing on her face as her Martial Soul manifested automatically.

The Three-Phase Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul appeared at her side, hissing hysterically as it helped Dugu Yan share the burden of the pressure, forcibly enduring the pressure of Level 43.

Just two more levels. Just two more, and I'll reach the level Brother did during his first pressure test. I can do this! Cold sweat streamed down Dugu Yan's forehead as she encouraged herself inwardly.

"Yanyan, this is the pressure of Level 44. If I see that you can no longer endure it, I'll withdraw the pressure at once to prevent you from being injured," Dugu Bo said calmly.

The pressure of Level 44 descended upon Dugu Yan. Her legs, which had already been supporting her with great difficulty, abruptly buckled, and she fell to her knees with a muffled thud.

"Yanyan has reached her limit. It looks like reaching Level 45 is impossible after all." Dugu Yao watched the scene before him and shook his head slightly.

At only six years old, being able to withstand the pressure of a Level 44 Soul Ancestor was already exceptionally impressive. She far surpassed Soul Masters of the same age. If she were put out there, probably no one else could reach such a level.

Seeing that Dugu Yan had reached her limit, Dugu Bo withdrew the pressure, picked her up from the ground, and placed her on the sofa.

He smiled and said, "Although you didn't reach Level 45, Level 44 is already remarkable. Absorbing a 7,800-year Soul Ring will be no problem at all."

Dugu Yan was somewhat dejected. In the end, she had failed to reach the level her brother had achieved during his first pressure test. She still had a long way to go if she wanted to catch up to him.

"Although you can't absorb a Soul Ring extremely close to ten thousand years, you still have a chance of absorbing an eight-thousand-year Soul Ring," Dugu Bo said calmly.

"Grandfather, isn't my physical strength only enough to absorb a 7,800-year Soul Ring? How can I still absorb an eight-thousand-year Soul Ring?" Dugu Yan asked, her face full of confusion.

"The Nine Nether Pill Codex contains a Fourth-grade Pill called the Fourth-Grade Soul Guard Pill. Its effect is to increase the number of years of Soul Rings one can absorb."

"With this Fourth-grade Pill, Yanyan, you can absolutely absorb an eight-thousand-year Soul Ring. Don't be discouraged." Dugu Bo stroked Dugu Yan's head as he comforted her.

This little girl Yanyan always used her brother as her benchmark. But her brother was a monster among monsters. Catching up to him was nearly impossible.

"Yanyan, don't always use me as your benchmark. Back then, I absorbed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"Those three body-tempering spiritual herbs forged my Immunity to Water and Fire Body and Indestructible Vajra Body. That was the only reason my physical strength reached Level 45. As for the Immortal Herb you absorbed—"

"its enhancement of physical strength was extremely limited. Although you've consumed Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue over these past two months to improve your body—"

"how could the effects of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue compare to those of three Immortal Herbs? Don't focus only on the fact that I reached Level 45."

"Think about it. Aside from me, in the entire Soul Master world, is there anyone at your age whose physical strength can reach Level 44?"

Dugu Yao consoled her helplessly. Using him as a benchmark was destined to be disheartening, but this little girl Yanyan insisted on doing so. There was nothing he could do about it.

Dugu Yan looked at her brother, then nodded slightly. Her brother was right. Even if she could not catch up to him, she was still stronger than that clingy Yu Tianheng, wasn't she?!

What Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan genius Soul Master, what favored prodigy, what future clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—he was not even one-tenth as good as her, nor half as good as her brother!

"You're right, Brother. I was too fixated on it. I only knew to compare myself with you and forgot that I already far surpassed other Soul Masters my age," Dugu Yan said with a smile.

"Now that the physical strength test is over, shall Grandfather take you two to hunt Spirit Beasts? I picked these Spirit Beasts for you during my spare time from pill refinement over the past two days!"

Dugu Bo held his two adorable grandchildren in his arms and smiled.

"Then let's go, Grandfather?" Dugu Yao said.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded slightly and instructed Dugu Xin, "Xiao'er, you and Wanqiu can wait for us to return for lunch."

After saying that, Dugu Bo carried the siblings Dugu Yan and Dugu Yao out of the Reception Hall in great strides, then flew straight into the sky. At the same time, he condensed a Soul Power barrier around them.

It shielded them from the fierce winds rushing toward them due to their excessive speed.

"Father is still as decisive as ever. In that case, we'll wait at home for them to return." Dugu Xin watched Dugu Bo's departing figure and shook his head with a wry smile.
