Dugu Bo, the Child-Giving Douluo

Bai Xiao had no intention of going to Shrek Academy just yet. After all, he had only just killed one of their students. Right now, he was preparing a peerless grand undertaking: the "Super Martial Soul Wholesale Experiment."

This differed from Dugu Bo's method. Bai Xiao's experiment used human genes as the primary component and soul beasts as a supplement. He attempted to transfer the specific genes of high-grade Martial Soul possessors into the special universal plasma he had created, then used the principles of genetic contamination to introduce it into ordinary Soul Masters, thereby modifying their Martial Souls.

Of course, if the genes of a Beast Martial Soul were transferred into the body of a Weapon Martial Soul Master, who knew what kind of Martial Soul it would create? A "Doraemon"? A "Transformer"?

Bai Xiao's experiments showed that beast patterns would appear on the Martial Souls of those Weapon Soul Masters. Some even displayed images of soul beasts, like engravings on bronze vessels.

If the genes of a Weapon Soul Master were introduced into the body of a Beast Soul Master, certain parts of the Beast Martial Soul would mutate. If the genes of a sickle Martial Soul were introduced into a Beast Soul Master's body, then the claws of the Beast Martial Soul would very likely change into sickle-like shapes.

Probably only Bai Xiao in the entire Douluo Continent could carry out such meticulous work. After all, apart from him, if one wanted to exchange genes, the only option was to have children—and one had to pay attention to gender. Could two men possibly produce a child?

He would even need to find a "Darwin" specifically to keep records, breeding humans like peas, and who knew how many generations it would take before the patterns could be summarized.

But with this method, he only needed to extract genes, record them, allocate them, introduce the genes, and examine the traits. It was an utterly assembly-line experiment.

Using Akatsuki's influence, Bai Xiao spread word among the lower-tier Soul Masters and brought low-level Soul Masters to the base in batches for modification.

Usually, after these Soul Masters were injected with Bai Xiao's genetic agent, they would undergo a certain adjustment period. Then, within a short time, they would absorb massive amounts of soul power to raise their own soul power and mutate their Martial Souls.

For this, Bai Xiao had even specially pulled in some "wires" to transport the soul power absorbed by the plants in Bai Xiao's forest, replenishing them.

Once these Soul Masters had been modified, they were completely under Bai Xiao's control. After all, that plasma contained Bai Xiao's Assimilated cells.

Those cells would attach themselves inside their bodies and differentiate into all kinds of cells, while Bai Xiao could issue commands to those cells.

Ever heard of cancerous mutation? He could also make those cells secrete all kinds of cellular products.

Bai Xiao dared to say, "I understand your body better than you do!"

Ahem, ahem. Don't get any dirty ideas.

The soul beast underlings modified by Bai Xiao were the same. Without Assimilation by Bai Xiao's cells, they simply could not accept the tissues of other soul beasts. The immune rejection alone would be enough to finish them.

Over these three years, Bai Xiao had gathered many orphans, some whose Martial Souls had already awakened and some whose had not.

For those who had already awakened, Bai Xiao would inject the corresponding genetic reagent according to the type of their Martial Soul.

Over the years, Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo had collected the genes of who knew how many Soul Masters. Just the trick of selling blood for money had cost Bai Xiao a vast amount of funds.

The Martial Soul genes of the three upper sects of the Douluo Continent had basically all fallen into Bai Xiao's hands. It could be said that after modification, the Martial Souls of these orphans rivaled those of the direct descendants of the sects.

Bai Xiao then had Dugu Bo send these orphans to the relevant sects. After the orphans displayed their Martial Souls, many of them were taken in for focused training by the sects.

They had no way to suspect anything. After all, Martial Souls proving blood relations was common in the Douluo Continent, and the people of this era were quite open-minded as well. It was inevitable that some sect elders or sect masters would go out to have fun with young ladies!

Because of this, Dugu Bo was affectionately called the "Child-Giving Douluo" by the major sects. Nearly every sect with any reputation had received a "son" or "daughter" from Dugu Bo—some once, some twice—and all of them were exceptionally outstanding seeds.

When common Soul Masters heard this news, they even drew a portrait of Dugu Bo and pasted it upside down on their doors, meaning, "The Child-Giving Douluo has arrived."

After all, Dugu Bo was now so young and handsome, no longer as "warning-inducing" as before, so it was only natural that he had some followers.

But when Dugu Bo heard this news, he nearly went to fight Bai Xiao to the death. Dugu Yan barely managed to stop him.
