Dugu Bo on the Offensive

Dugu Bo could no longer stand watching Bai Xiao act like an idiot. "Kid, you brought me to Sunset Forest just to look at these soul beasts? What's the method for curing the poison in my body?"

Hearing that another person had suddenly appeared, the soul beasts immediately became wary. Some even let out warning roars at Dugu Bo.

Bai Xiao punched a soul beast on the head. "You idiots, that's a Title Douluo! Are you trying to get yourselves killed? And he's one of us!" Bai Xiao scolded them. ←_←

The soul beasts promptly quieted down. Seeing that they could understand Bai Xiao's words, Dugu Bo found it quite novel and asked, "Grandson-in-law, did you train them?"

"I didn't train them. My Martial Soul can increase these soul beasts' intelligence, and it creates a special connection between us, so they can understand what I say. To thank me for awakening their intelligence, they chose to follow me," Bai Xiao explained.

The soul beasts were filled with frustration. "You're lying!"

Dugu Bo silently took note of it. A Life Dragon Martial Soul? What a miraculous Martial Soul.

Bai Xiao continued, "To cure the poison in your body, Grandpa, I'll need these soul beasts' help! And the stronger the soul beasts are, the better the chances of eliminating the toxins in your body. So I'll need your help subduing even stronger soul beasts!"

Having seen Bai Xiao cure the poison in Dugu Yan's body, Dugu Bo trusted him completely. "Fine. If you need Grandpa's help with anything, just say the word."

This was exactly what Bai Xiao had been waiting for. With a Title Douluo's assistance—even the weakest Title Douluo—he could still sweep through Sunset Forest.

Before setting out, Bai Xiao had sent his soul beast underlings to infiltrate the ranks of the powerful soul beasts in Sunset Forest. With these spies leading the way, Bai Xiao could easily locate all kinds of powerful soul beasts. Those Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had probably never imagined that the simple soul beast world would produce beast traitors.

Half a year passed like this. With Dugu Bo's help, Bai Xiao subdued nearly eight-ninths of Sunset Forest. The remaining territory housed soul beasts that were nearly Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Dugu Bo was not completely confident that he could take them down, but those remaining soul beasts would not greatly affect Bai Xiao's plans, so he simply left them alone and turned the area into "a country within a country."

The soul beasts inside were surrounded by Bai Xiao's underlings. The moment any dared to come out, the underlings would swarm it. Some even carried Biochemical Bombs jointly developed by Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo, hurling them in volleys and blasting that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast until it was nearly killed by something far weaker.

Bai Xiao had subdued nearly a hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Because their bodies were enormous and exceptionally tough, Bai Xiao had no choice but to seek Dugu Bo's help in the operating room. Dugu Bo turned out to be extremely interested in it. Bai Xiao seemed to realize that he had turned Dugu Bo into "Professor Dugu," and from then on, there was one young and one old figure in the laboratory.

"Kid, hurry up and use your Martial Soul to fuse these two soul beast tissues, then implant them into No. 1086's body," Dugu Bo urged Bai Xiao.

"Grandpa, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast tissue contains too much energy. My Martial Soul has only just finished Assimilating the previous piece," Bai Xiao said with a bitter smile.

"Ha, aren't you nearly Rank 20 already? Why are you still so slow?" Dugu Bo mocked.

Bai Xiao grumbled inwardly, Hmph, what rank were you at when you were seven? If I were a Title Douluo, I could Assimilate Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast tissue in a second!

The soul beast on the operating table had not been fully anesthetized. Hearing the conversation between the two, tears slid from the corners of its eyes, while the soul beast underlings beside the operating table smiled as they ate watermelon.
