The Rising Holy Dragon Sect: Rivaling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Crushing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?
Yin Yu pulled out a chair and sat down. His voice was grave.
"Father-in-law is absolutely right.
"Now that Dugu Bo has joined the Sect, his Martial Soul has evolved thanks to an Immortal Herb, and his Soul Power has surged to level 93. With his Jade Phosphor Dragon Aura and deadly poison, his combat strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.
"Father-in-law has reached the peak of level 92, just one step from level 93.
"And I've reached the peak of level 95.
"With just the three of us, the Holy Dragon Sect's top-tier strength has completely surpassed that of the other three Lower Four Sects.
"Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can't match us when it comes to top-tier fighters!
"As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it's nothing special compared to today's Holy Dragon Sect!"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did have two Titled Douluo, Chen Xin and Gu Rong—one at level 96, the other at level 95.
But Yin Yu was at the peak of level 95. With his Soul Core, he could match Chen Xin.
As for Gu Rong?
Dugu Bo was level 93, and Tuoba Xi was level 92.
If they actually fought, the two of them probably still wouldn't be a match for Gu Rong alone.
But that wasn't necessarily how the strength of two Sects should be compared!
After all, if the two Sects truly went to war,
Yin Yu would face Chen Xin.
Tuoba Xi only needed to hold Gu Rong off for a while, and Dugu Bo could wipe out everyone else in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, including Ning Fengzhi!
Besides,
Chen Xin and Gu Rong had already reached the limits of their strength.
Yin Yu, Tuoba Xi, and Dugu Bo, on the other hand, could still improve to some extent with Immortal Herbs.
And that wasn't even counting Tuoba Tingxue, who was about to receive an Immortal Herb of her own.
Overall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's top-tier strength had stagnated, while the Holy Dragon Sect's was soaring!
As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Its only powerhouse was its patriarch, Yu Yuanzhen, a level 95 Hyper Douluo who might not even be able to defeat Yin Yu.
And the Holy Dragon Sect also had two more Titled Douluo: Dugu Bo and Tuoba Xi.
The Holy Dragon Sect could now rival the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and crush the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Only the Clear Sky Sect might still be stronger.
After all, when the Clear Sky Sect's Titled Douluo elders appeared in the original story, they were only at level 91.
At this point, it wasn't even certain whether those elders had reached Title Douluo yet!
Tuoba Xi looked intently at Yin Yu and Yin Changqing.
"Exactly!
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has spent years strutting around on the reputation of having the world's strongest Beast Spirit, yet Yu Yuanzhen, a single level 95 fighter, is all it has holding it up.
"In a one-on-one fight, Yu, with your peak level 95 Dark Demon Dragon Martial Soul, you might not lose to Yu Yuanzhen and his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
Yin Changqing added with a smile,
"Grandfather, Father, that's only our strength on paper right now.
"When Mother returns to the Sect tomorrow and refines that Earth Dragon Golden Melon, the Holy Dragon Sect's top-tier strength will see another unbelievable surge."
At the mention of Tuoba Tingxue, Tuoba Xi's face filled with affection and anticipation.
"Ting Xue should arrive at the Sect tomorrow morning, by my reckoning.
"Changqing, what exactly can this Earth Dragon Golden Melon you've prepared for Ting Xue do?"
A mysterious smile flickered in Yin Changqing's eyes as he explained,
"Grandfather, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is a supreme Immortal Herb formed from the purest essence of the earth. It strengthens control over the earth element and promotes the evolution of dragon-type Martial Souls.
"Mother's White-Armored Earth Dragon may be a top-tier Beast Spirit, but it is still limited by the words 'Earth Dragon.' It has yet to shed its mortal form and become a true dragon.
"This Earth Dragon Golden Melon is a supreme opportunity tailor-made for Mother."
Tuoba Xi nodded thoughtfully and sighed.
"Ting Xue has been stuck at level 86 as a Soul Douluo for years. If this Immortal Herb truly helps her reach Title Douluo, our family will have four Titled Douluo under one roof!"
"Such a glorious feat has never been seen in the history of the entire Douluo Continent!"
The following day, at noon.
In a side hall behind the Holy Dragon Sect's Main Peak Council Hall,
a quick succession of crisp footsteps sounded as Tuoba Tingxue hurried inside.
"Father!
"Yu!
"Changqing!"
As soon as Tuoba Tingxue entered, she strode forward and pulled Yin Changqing close. She looked him up and down, her eyes full of concern.
"Changqing, your father sent word that you'd returned from your travels. Were you hurt?
"Let your mother have a good look at you!"
Warmth flowed through Yin Changqing's heart. He smiled.
"Mother, I'm perfectly fine. Not only was I unhurt, but I also came upon an extraordinary opportunity."
Yin Yu and Tuoba Xi came forward then.
Yin Yu studied his wife and immediately sensed the change in her aura. Surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Ting Xue, your Soul Power... Did you break through?"
A proud smile appeared on Tuoba Tingxue's face, and she nodded.
"That's right!
"On the way back, the bottleneck that had held me for so long suddenly began to loosen.
"While resting at an inn last night, I circulated my Soul Power and managed to break through. I've officially reached level 87!"
"Hahahaha!
"Excellent!
"Wonderful!"
Tuoba Xi clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
"Good news on two fronts!
"Ting Xue, you couldn't have reached level 87 at a better time!"
Tuoba Tingxue froze for a moment, then looked at her father and husband in confusion.
She noticed that Tuoba Xi's complexion was rosy, and the Dragon Might radiating from him was powerful enough to make her heart tremble.
The pressure from her husband Yin Yu's Demon Dragon was even more unfathomable.
Could they both have grown stronger again?
Tuoba Tingxue asked in astonishment,
"Father, Yu, why does your Soul Power feel completely different?
"Father, your Soul Power..."
Tuoba Xi raised his eyebrows proudly and laughed.
"I refined one of the Immortal-Grade Herbs Changqing brought back last night. I'm now a peak level 92 Titled Douluo!
"And your husband Yu has reached the peak of level 95. He already has one foot over the threshold of level 96!"
"What?!"
Tuoba Tingxue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
"Peak level 92?
"Peak level 95?
"How... how is that possible?
"How could you improve so much in just a few days?"
Yin Yu took Tuoba Tingxue's hand and smiled gently.
"Ting Xue, we owe it all to our wonderful son.
"Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden in Sunset Forest is actually a blessed place called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Changqing gathered several Immortal-Grade Herbs there that can transform a person's fate.
"And we aren't the only ones who benefited. Even Poison Douluo Dugu Bo has fully joined the Holy Dragon Sect and become its Grand Elder."
Tuoba Tingxue stared in stunned silence. The revelations came so quickly that she struggled to take them in.
Dugu Bo had joined them?
Her father's and husband's Soul Power had soared?
And her twelve-year-old son had made it all happen?
Yin Changqing smiled faintly and stepped forward.
"Mother, Father's and Grandfather's breakthroughs were only the beginning.
"Of all the Immortal Herbs I found on this journey, the one I prized most was the one I prepared especially for you."
