"Why was Grandpa so weak?"
Lu Yuan supported Old Tom. Although he was not a true healing Soul Master,
his Martial Soul, Meowmeow, possessed the life attribute. With its leader bloodline, that attribute could even be called ultimate life in the Douluo World. Otherwise, it would never have caught the Life God King's attention.
Lu Yuan had not examined Old Tom earlier. Only now, as he drew close, did he realize how weak and depleted his body was, clearly suffering from severe injuries that had never healed.
"Tom, back then, you forced your way through to Soul Douluo, only to be beaten so badly you almost fell back down. You never gave up cultivating over these past decades, and you've actually reached level 88?"
Dugu Bo's voice drifted out of the poisonous mist.
"Hmph!" Old Tom snorted angrily, seemingly reminded of some unpleasant memories.
What?! Grandpa actually forced his breakthrough to Soul Douluo back then?
"I thought you and the other two had all died in that struggle. Come to think of it, this ninety-thousand-year Golden Hawksbill Turtle Soul Bone should have belonged to you."
