Hell Poison Lizard

"Xiaofeng, what was that?"

After spending a few days in Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo returned just in time to see Dugu Feng's kick descending from the sky.

He was utterly baffled.

"Grandfather, I've successfully created a soul skill. This move is called Meteor Flying Kick."

"Good boy, I was only gone for a few days, and you've already created your own soul skill?"

"Grandfather, I'm preparing to go out and gain experience. Staying at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can speed up my cultivation, but having only Soul Power without real combat experience would be highly improper."

"Good. I had already thought of that as well, so I was planning to take you to the Soul Arena. It's a place where soul masters compete and hone themselves."

After Dugu Bo spoke, he had just placed his hand on Dugu Feng's body when he sensed that the Soul Power within him had already reached level forty.

"That's not right. It's only been a few days. How did your Soul Power reach level forty?!"

Shock appeared on Dugu Bo's face as he looked at Dugu Feng.

"I consumed those two Ice Fire Immortal Herbs, then used the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper my body and broke through in one stroke. My Martial Soul also evolved into the Ice Fire Toad King. It possesses ice and fire toxins, making it even more powerful."

"Martial Soul Evolution!"

"What an Ice Fire Toad King. For your fourth Soul Ring, you should be planning to choose a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, right? Tell me, how many years are you aiming for?"

"Twenty thousand years."

"As expected of you. When ordinary Soul Kings break through to become Soul Emperors, they only absorb twenty-thousand-year Soul Rings."

"And yet for your fourth Soul Ring, you intend to absorb a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring."

The shock had long vanished from Dugu Bo's face. After all, people could become numb when they saw too many outrageous things.

They would eventually grow used to them.

There was nothing he could do. His own grandson was simply too monstrous.

"Tell me, what soul beast are you planning to choose for your fourth Soul Ring?"

"Now that my Martial Soul has transformed from the original Toxic Toad into the Ice Fire Toad King, the poison I possess already far surpasses that of ordinary soul beasts.

Even the poison of a Ten Thousand Year Man Faced Demon Spider is no different from drinking water to me. So, I've decided to strengthen my ice poison and fire poison."

"For my fourth Soul Ring, I plan to choose a soul beast with fire poison attributes. For my fifth Soul Ring, I'll head to the Extreme North and use an Ice Jade Scorpion as my fifth Soul Ring."

Dugu Feng had considered directly using the Ice Empress as a Soul Ring, but if they truly fought, the Ice Empress would certainly be stronger than him.

He might as well keep the Ice Empress for now and use her as his ninth Soul Ring someday.

"There are quite a few poison-type soul beasts in Sunset Forest, but one that meets your requirements and possesses both fire and poison attributes would likely only be found in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandfather, to take me to the Star Dou Great Forest. But after that, I'll hunt the soul beasts alone."

Dugu Bo nodded, then took out his storage Soul Tool—the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch.

"Grandfather, there's no need."

"You brat, this is a gift from your grandfather. Have you forgotten? Today is your birthday."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Feng was startled. Only then did he remember that today was his birthday—the day Dugu Bo had found him.

Warmth instantly filled his heart.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Dugu Feng accepted the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch and discovered that it contained a considerable number of Gold Soul Coins, at least ten thousand.

"I didn't know what to give you. This is your grandfather's savings from all these years: one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

After resting for a day, Dugu Bo personally brought Dugu Feng to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Compared to Sunset Forest, the Star Dou Great Forest had more soul beasts, and deep within this forest—

—were hidden the Silver Dragon King, who possessed god-level strength, along with a host of ferocious beasts.

"Go in. Remember, in this forest, soul beasts aren't your only danger. People are as well."

"I understand, Grandfather."

As Dugu Feng's figure gradually disappeared from Dugu Bo's sight—

—a smile appeared at the corner of Dugu Bo's lips. Then, with a flash, he vanished from where he stood and followed far behind Dugu Feng.

Naturally, he could not allow Dugu Feng to wander through the Star Dou Great Forest alone. This place contained not only soul beasts, but also high-level soul masters accompanying their juniors to hunt soul beasts.

If one or two blind fools among them tried to harm Dugu Feng, Dugu Bo would never allow it.

So he deliberately hid in the shadows and would not act unless absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, after entering the forest, Dugu Feng knew that his grandfather was likely hiding nearby rather than truly remaining outside the forest.

As Dugu Feng pondered this, he continued leaping through the trees when a black shadow suddenly lunged at him.

Although the shadow was incredibly fast, Dugu Feng's six senses were now extremely sharp.

He raised his hand and struck out with his palm. Before his palm even reached the shadow, the force of the blow had already shattered it.

Several chunks of fresh flesh fell from the crown of a towering tree.

Dugu Feng lowered his head and saw that it was a Tree-tip Snake.

This kind of soul beast loved to hide among treetops and attack passing prey. It possessed extremely potent venom.

The one Dugu Feng had killed was a hundred-year Tree-tip Snake.

"Finding a suitable soul beast really is difficult."

"Right, why didn't I think of this? Soul beasts with both fire and poison attributes would generally choose a suitable place to cultivate. I just need to search for areas with scorching heat."

Having set a clear target, Dugu Feng began searching through the Star Dou Great Forest.

It took him two full days to finally find a volcanic region.

"Such a scorching environment should have plenty of fire-attribute soul beasts. I just don't know whether there's one I need."

Standing at a distance, Dugu Feng spotted several fire lizards of a sub-dragon species.

They were fighting over a piece of rotten meat at the foot of a volcano, several fire lizards slaughtering one another.

"Fire-attribute sub-dragon species are indeed not bad, but they don't match my fire poison."

Just as Dugu Feng was preparing to search the other side of the volcanic region, a thunderous roar came from the peak of the volcano.

Upon hearing it, Dugu Feng suddenly recalled that some ancient texts Dugu Bo had given him once recorded a rare mutated Fire Lizard King among fire lizards.

This mutated Fire Lizard King was called a Hell Poison Lizard.

The flames it spat out were like white phosphorus and extremely difficult to extinguish.

They would continue burning until they had consumed the prey's soft tissue, even burning down to the bones. In the end, the prey would gradually turn into a pile of ash amid the blazing flames.

That was why it was called a Hell Poison Lizard. Its flames were like the fires of hell, enough to chill anyone to the bone.

Even being touched by the slightest bit meant certain death, and the smoke produced by its flames was also terrifyingly toxic.

Once inhaled, death was inevitable.

However, among a thousand Fire Lizard Kings, only one Hell Poison Lizard might be born.

Moreover, Hell Poison Lizards were extremely brutal. Like the fiercest tiger among tigers, they would kill every Fire Lizard King within their territory.
