Once Dugu Yan had rested enough, she began circulating her soul power. With the medicinal effects aiding her, she gradually forced the toxins from her body into the Soul Bone.
Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo transferred their soul power into Dugu Yan from before and behind, replenishing her strength while also monitoring how she expelled the toxins, so they could rescue her in time if anything went wrong.
It took Dugu Yan an entire day to transfer all the toxins in her body into the Soul Bone. The moment the transfer was complete, she was already utterly exhausted, and the taut string supporting her mind snapped in the very next second.
Bai Xiao felt something soft and fragrant suddenly fall into his arms, but before he could savor the feeling, it was gone.
Bai Xiao watched as Dugu Bo carried the unconscious Dugu Yan away, and heard him say lightly, "You're still young."
Bai Xiao: "&¥&*%*$..."
So only your granddaughter can take advantage of me, but I can't take advantage of your granddaughter? Bai Xiao could not help grumbling inwardly.
As a result, Bai Xiao could not sleep again that night.
At daybreak the next day, Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo asked the awakened Dugu Yan about her condition. Dugu Yan told them astonishing news: her Soul Bone skill had mutated after absorbing the toxins.
The odds of this had been extremely low to begin with. Bai Xiao had not expected it to happen either, so he asked Dugu Yan about the details.
"The toxins from my Martial Soul have transferred into the Soul Bone. The soul power stored inside it has all been contaminated and turned into soul power with a poison attribute. During battle, I can draw on that soul power to increase the power of my Soul Ring skills," Dugu Yan explained.
After hearing this, Bai Xiao fell into thought. A while later, he modified his biochemical gloves, then handed them to Dugu Yan. "Yan'er, put on the gloves. In a moment, try injecting all the soul power stored in your Soul Bone into them!"
Dugu Yan nodded and began doing as Bai Xiao said, drawing upon the soul power stored in her Soul Bone and pouring it into the gloves. She discovered that the instant the soul power touched them, it vanished without a trace.
Then came a boom!
A huge beam shot from the gloves and blasted into the grass, leaving behind a massive crater shrouded in poisonous mist. Dugu Bo estimated that the strike possessed roughly the destructive power of a Soul Elder. Even a level thirty-two Soul Elder would be seriously injured if he took it head-on.
Dugu Yan was clearly satisfied with this, but with her soul power depleted, she could only sit down helplessly to recover it.
"Not bad. This self-created soul skill can practically make you invincible among those of the same rank. With good luck, you might even fight above your level. Both the explosion and the poisonous mist afterward can inflict tremendous damage on enemies. Its only flaw is that it consumes nearly all your soul power," Bai Xiao summarized.
Solving Dugu Yan's own problem had brought her an unexpected delight. This truly counted as gaining a blessing from a misfortune.
Next, it's time to solve Dugu Bo's problem! Bai Xiao thought, arranging the direction of his next step in his mind.
Seeing Bai Xiao deep in thought, Dugu Bo felt too embarrassed to interrupt him as an elder. He could only sit quietly to one side and wait for Bai Xiao to finish thinking.
When Bai Xiao opened his eyes after finishing his thoughts, he saw Dugu Yan drinking tea brewed by Dugu Bo. She complained, "What are you thinking about? You look so serious!"
Bai Xiao said nothing. He walked up to Dugu Yan and kissed her on the cheek, then said to Dugu Bo, "Grandpa, let's go to Sunset Forest!"
