Dugu Bo: I have drifted for half a life, yet have not met a wise master.

Beiming Lieyang sank into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring, and the power of ice and fire poured madly into his body, tempering his physique and reshaping his meridians.

The medicinal efficacy of Wangchuan Qiushuilu dissolved at the same time, expanding his spiritual sea continuously and climbing his spiritual power step by step.

Dugu Bo stood blankly in the distance, clearly perceiving that the aura of the youth in the spring was climbing.

Level 47...

This kid looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, right?

How could he possibly have the strength of a level 47 Spirit Ancestor?!

This talent was simply too terrifying.

And it was still rising.

The water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well churned and boiled, the red and blue lights intertwining and rotating faster and faster.

"Oh no!" Dugu Bo's expression changed abruptly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor. "There's an abnormality in the Ice and Fire Spring Water! Why aren't you making him get up?!"

But his shout was soon swallowed by the roar of the spring.

Above the water surface, Void Mysterious Ice suddenly emerged, the chill spreading to freeze the surrounding scorching air into a layer of frost.

Immediately after,

a golden sun phantom rose behind his back, its light boundless, and the scorching aura formed a fierce counter-clash with the chill of Void Mysterious Ice.

The sun rapidly condensed into a massive phantom.

A majestic body of alternating deep red and silvery white, with distinct armor angles.

The crimson corona halo on his back spewed dazzling golden flame, and a giant sword was slung across his back, its blade glowing like lava.

He was just like a god walking out of the sun.

Ice and fire, cold and heat, two completely opposite powers erupted from the same person at the same time, confronting each other from afar while echoing one another.

Seeing this scene, the hearts that Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor had been holding up finally relaxed.

Dugu Bo could no longer say anything.

He kept his mouth open, looking at those two phantoms.

One was ice-blue and piercingly cold, while the other was blazing like the sun.

Twin Martial Souls.

And they were twin martial souls whose ice and fire attributes directly clashed.

According to records on the Douluo Continent, twin martial soul owners had an extremely high chance of exploding and dying when adding spirit rings due to martial soul attribute conflicts.

Yet not only did this kid not explode, but he actually jumped into this Ice and Fire Spring Water, utilizing the power of the spring to temper his dual bodies.

His aura was still climbing, reaching level 48!

Only a single thought remained in Dugu Bo's mind:

Just what kind of monster were those two women raising?

A martial soul of conflicting ice and fire—no wonder he wanted to snatch his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

This place was simply tailor-made for him.

He stood in place, filled with shock, unable to say a single word.

Over half a day later, the spring water gradually calmed down.

Beiming Lieyang emerged from the spring water, standing steadily on the surface as the layer of pale golden halo around him gradually faded.

His aura had stopped at level 50, and his spiritual sea had expanded many times over compared to before.

He walked across the water, arriving in front of Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor.

Ice Emperor had already rushed up, her eyes bright as she stared at him. "How is it? What changes?"

Beiming Lieyang raised his hand, and two streams of water simultaneously rose from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring.

One ice-blue and one crimson, they transformed into two water dragons that orbited the spring eye before circling around.

Ice and fire refine the golden body, fleshly body quenching complete, ice and fire dual immunity—although I was already immune to both ice and fire to begin with, my martial soul also absorbed the power of the spring and underwent mutation, possessing the power of ice and fire, and now Void Mysterious Ice can transform into three attributes: Cold Extreme Yin Ice, Blazing Yan Yang Ice, and Ice and Fire Yin Yang Mysterious Ice.

Unlike Tang San, who ate the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb and passively accepted the spring's scouring,

he absorbed even more power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and refined it.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to go directly from level 47 to level 50.

Ice Emperor immediately grasped the main point: "What about the taste? Has the taste changed?"

Beiming Lieyang: "..."

Snow Emperor chuckled softly from the side: "Little foodie."

Ice Emperor was righteous and confident: "I'm just asking! Now that little Yang's Void Mysterious Ice is already at 9.5 times purity, wouldn't absorbing the Ice and Fire Spring Water make it even more delicious?!"

Dugu Bo in the distance watched this scene, feeling his scalp go numb in waves.

The ice and fire power in that spring water collided so fiercely that even he had to avoid its sharp edge.

Yet a Spirit Ancestor could already control it.

This kid already possessed the means to threaten a Title Douluo.

Dugu Bo's expression turned pale and green by turns.

Then he noticed three pairs of eyes falling on him at the same time.

The hair on his whole body stood on end, and as he stumbled backward, he quickly cupped his fists:

"Everyone... I still have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll just..."

His voice stuck in his throat.

Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor looked straight at him, that intangible sense of oppression quietly spreading over.

His back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and his heart was filled with bitterness.

He had heard too many secrets.

Twin martial souls, ice and fire refining the golden body—he had seen almost everything about that youth's background.

How could the other party let him go?

Beiming Lieyang took a step forward, looking at Dugu Bo. "Senior Dugu should be a sensible person."

Dugu Bo made a bitter face.

This meaning was clearly saying:

Even if you don't understand, you have to understand.

The corners of Beiming Lieyang's mouth split open: "Every time it rains, Senior Dugu, the poison will backlash throughout your body. The taste isn't very pleasant, right?"

"Although your granddaughter is young, the poison has already taken root in her body, and in a few years, she will follow in your footsteps."

Dugu Bo jerked his head up, his pupils contracting sharply: "You... how do you know?"

No one knew about him being poisoned.

As his Bilin Snake martial soul grew stronger, the poison accumulated in his body.

His son and daughter-in-law had died from the poison's backlash.

Now his granddaughter had also awakened the same martial soul, and he had been searching for a way to save her.

He suddenly thought of his previous thought.

Coupled with the fact that the other party wouldn't bring up this matter for no reason,

he was silent for a long time. Looking at the youth before him,

and then looking at the two women whose strengths were unfathomable behind him, he finally slowly knelt down.

A Title Douluo's dignity was shattered to the ground, but he had no other choice.

It didn't matter if he couldn't live for many more years, but his granddaughter couldn't.

Dugu Bo's voice was solemn and heavy.

"If Your Excellency can cure the poison of my grandfather and granddaughter, I, Dugu Bo, will hand this life over to you. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Beiming Lieyang bent down to help him up. "Senior Dugu, rest assured, I am not here to take your life."

"I need to use this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a long time, and I just happen to lack someone to watch over and manage it."

Snow Mom and Ice Aunt had lived in the Far North for a long time and didn't understand human society well.

Having a capable helper who was familiar with the human world would make things much more convenient.

Him continuing to manage the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was just right.

Dugu Bo was startled, then solemnly clasped his fists: "Thank you for your high regard, Young Master."

If it was just letting him continue to look after the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, such a thing couldn't be easier.

"Your Bilin Snake Emperor martial soul inherently has flaws. As your strength increases, the poison accumulates in your body. If you want to solve it, there are several methods."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up immediately. There were actually several methods?

"A high-quality spirit bone can force the accumulated poison onto it, but that only cures the symptoms and not the root cause."

"Once the poison accumulated in the spirit bone reaches its limit, it will still backlash against yourself."

The detoxification method Tang San told Dugu Bo in the original book used the ice and fire power of the Octagonal Xuanbing Grass and Blazing Apricot Delicate to dissolve the poison in his body, but the price was that his venom abilities would also be dissolved, causing his strength to plummet drastically.

In reality, Tang San played a trick on him.

Although the snake venom would be dissolved, Dugu Bo would instead acquire an even more terrifying ice and fire dual poison.

Wasn't his External Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, the best proof of this?

Another method was to use a spirit bone to force his own poison out and attach it to the spirit bone.

Only because the poison had been soaking for a long time, it required the aid of herbs,

coupled with the fact that Tang San had the blood of the Ice Immortal Herb and Fire Immortal Herb to transfer the poison for him.

However, a spirit bone always had a limit to how much poison it could accumulate.

To truly resolve the poison backlash in Dugu Bo, his martial soul had to evolve.

Just like the evil fire backlash of the Evil Fire Phoenix, or the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's inability to break through seven rings—

all these martial soul flaws were resolved once the defects of the martial souls were removed or they evolved.

Beiming Lieyang turned around, his gaze sweeping over the immortal herbs near the spring eye,

and quickly locked onto a golden, perfectly round melon with faint dragon patterns on its skin,

while in a stone crevice nearby, there was another lotus-shaped plant that was crimson all over, its leaf veins crisscrossing like dragon scales.
