Hearing this, Liu Erlong immediately thought of Yu Xiaogang. Although she had already witnessed his hypocrisy and shamelessness during this time,
that did not mean his feelings for her were false. Even now, she still harbored a sliver of hope about him.
By the time Su Ling finished introducing them one by one, he had been talking for nearly half an hour.
Snow Ji, however, had not taken any of it in. Not only had she failed to listen carefully, but she had also eaten several immortal herbs.
Su Ling was rather speechless. Here I am, talking until my mouth is dry, and you wicked fox not only refuse to listen carefully but keep sneaking bites, too.
"Oh, Master, don't be angry." Snow Ji took a sip of water, then fed it to Su Ling. Afterward, she took his arm and rubbed it against her chest, acting coy.
Su Ling was left unable to say a word. There was nothing he could do-she was too good at this.
"Hahaha! I did it!"
Dugu Bo shot skyward from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Not only had he resolved the problem of his snake poison turning against him, but he had also fused the two toxins of extreme cold and extreme heat.
His soul power had also reached an astonishing level 94.
Dugu Bo came over to Su Ling and kept patting his shoulder. "Young friend Su Ling, this really was all thanks to you."
"I'm level 94 now, just one step away from joining the ranks of Super Douluos."
The more Dugu Bo spoke, the happier he became. Clearly, he was getting carried away.
"Here, eat this." Su Ling took out the Blood Swan Kiss, which was large, thick, and somewhat blackish.
"Wh-what is this, then?"
Dugu Bo looked at the strangely shaped immortal herb but sensed nothing unusual about it. Its air of grandeur could not compare to the two he had eaten earlier.
"Something that can make you a Super Douluo." Su Ling put on a mysterious air, looking as though Dugu Bo could believe him or not as he pleased.
"You mean eating this will make me a Super Douluo?" Su Ling remained silent.
Dugu Bo took the immortal herb and found that it was rather large.
"Can I eat it in two portions?"
Su Ling held up one finger to indicate that he could not. "You have to eat all of it in one go."
Seeing that Su Ling did not seem to be joking, Dugu Bo steeled himself and swallowed the entire Blood Swan Kiss. He ate so hastily that it even jabbed the back of his throat.
The instant Dugu Bo swallowed the Blood Swan Kiss, he felt the toxins throughout his body churn like rivers and seas, as though they were about to explode.
Dugu Bo's aura surged violently. The soul power that erupted in that instant even exceeded level 96, but he had no time to celebrate. Right now, he felt like an overinflated balloon that could burst at any moment.
"Focus on sensing the soul power inside you and compress it."
Hearing Su Ling's guidance, Dugu Bo tried to direct all the soul power in his body into his dantian, then compress it with his spiritual power.
However, accomplishing that with his current spiritual power was still extremely difficult. If the two immortal herbs and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had not strengthened his body, he would already have exploded.
Through Dugu Bo's tireless efforts, his soul power gradually condensed, forming a soul power vortex.
"Wh-what is this?" Dugu Bo felt that the rate at which he absorbed soul power from the outside world had noticeably increased.
What shocked him even more was that his soul power had reached level 96. Dugu Bo could clearly feel that reaching level 97 and level 98 was now merely a matter of accumulating soul power. Even reaching the legendary Level 99 Limit Douluo was possible.
That was because his poison had now evolved into Ultimate Poison. It was far stronger than the original Jade Scale Snake Poison, which had been too frail to withstand even a breeze.
"This is a soul core. After condensing one, both your soul power recovery rate and your cultivation speed will increase enormously. In theory, Soul Masters can condense one when they break through to Titled Douluo, but no such method exists yet."
This was also why Titled Douluos were so rare in Douluo I and were mainly concentrated in places where deities passed down their legacies. For Titled Douluos without backing or fortuitous opportunities, breaking through to Titled Douluo was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Condensing a soul core could help Soul Masters improve their soul power recovery rate and cultivation speed, but the drawback was equally obvious: it would accelerate the consumption of spiritual energy on the Douluo Continent and shorten its lifespan. P.S. I made up this part about soul cores myself, so it may differ from the original. Please don't flame me.
"Master, can I condense a soul core, too?"
Snow Ji leaned closer, her face full of excitement. She had indeed tried condensing and compressing her soul power, but since no one had done it before, she had not dared to keep trying.
"Of course. With your current strength, you could condense your first soul core with hardly any effort."
"Could it be... could you actually condense multiple soul cores?"
Snow Ji and Dugu Bo both pricked up their ears and listened carefully. This was a major matter concerning improvements to their strength.
"That's right. Condensing dual soul cores is like a key to the door of becoming a Limit Douluo, while condensing three soul cores gives you the qualifications to inherit a God Position."
"What!"
Dugu Bo and Snow Ji stood rooted to the spot in a daze. Limit Douluo, inheriting a God Position-this information was all too important.
"Then can I condense dual soul cores now?" A greedy look appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"You? Old man Dugu, if you put in some effort, you'd still have a very good chance."
Put in some effort? Dugu Bo was rather bewildered. Is he telling me to cultivate harder? Or... damn this riddler!
"Oh, right, old man. As repayment for saving you and helping improve Dugu Yan's aptitude, I'll be taking this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Fine!" Dugu Bo did not hesitate at all. He thought Su Ling's claim to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well merely meant that the immortal herbs and spiritual herbs here would belong to him, and that he himself could still grow flowers and plants here.
The next second, Su Ling's Martial Soul rapidly rose into the air and expanded, and an enormous sphere appeared in the sky.
Many people hunting souls in Sunset Forest, as well as those nearby, saw this scene.
"Holy shit, what is that?"
"Is it a meteor? Quick, make a wish."
"Are you stupid? If that's a meteor, we're going to be crushed to death!"
Dugu Bo was so frightened by the sight before him that he did not dare move. As Su Ling's Martial Soul continued expanding, the mountains and rivers on the sphere became clearly visible. That was not even the end of it. Gradually, Su Ling's Martial Soul emerged beyond Douluo Star and became a planet as large as Douluo Star itself.
Now, it was not just the people around Sunset Forest. Almost everyone on Douluo Star saw this scene.
"Holy shit, Na Na, my life's over. The end of the world is here." Hu Liena's older brother, Xie Yue, stared blankly at the other planet that had appeared on the horizon.
"Na Na, I like you. The world's about to end. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Yan seized the chance to confess to Hu Liena, afraid that he would never have another opportunity, only to be sent flying by her kick.
"Ooh, ooh, Na Na's sweet little breeze reached me before the pain did."
"Yan, I'm warning you, stay away from me from now on. I already have someone I like."
"Who is it? I'll kill him!" Yan sprang up from the ground, rubbing his fists and feet. He wanted to see who was so blind that he dared compete with him for a daughter.
"The owner of that planet in the sky."
Yan: "..." You could at least find a better excuse to reject someone.
Even Su Ling was startled. Does absorbing an Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well really require such a grand spectacle?
