A Cure for Martial Soul Backfire, Journey to Sunset Forest

"Granduncle! Granduncle!"

"I've thought of a way to completely solve my Martial Soul Backfire." Guang Yu beamed with delight.

Guang Ling Douluo did not pay it much mind.

He had spent his entire life trying to think of a good solution without success. What could Guang Yu possibly come up with at such a young age? It was probably something he had already considered, but he still asked casually, "What way?"

Guang Yu told him about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as the two top-tier Immortal Herbs of fire poison and ice poison.

Upon hearing this, Guang Ling finally took it seriously. "Little Yu Yu, does such a spring and such Rare Herbs truly exist in this world?"

"Granduncle, trust me!"

"This place is in Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City. If you take me there, you'll know whether what I said is true." Guang Yu spoke with utmost seriousness.

Guang Ling slapped his thigh and made his decision at once. "Alright! Granduncle will make the trip with you!"

"Third Brother! Let the Great Enshrined know that I'm taking Little Yu Yu on a long journey."

In the hall within the adjacent space.

Qing Luan Douluo, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. "Alright, go."

"Let's go, Little Yu Yu!"

"Mm! Granduncle!"

The two immediately set off.

Riding Soul Hunting Horses, the fastest Soul Beast mounts, they sped straight for the gates of Spirit City.

Even without stopping along the way, traveling by ordinary horses and carriage would take at least half a month to reach Sunset Forest.

But on these Spirit-Hunting Horses, which had been specially tamed by humans, it would take only a week.

"Hyah! Hyah!"

Guang Ling rode in front while Guang Yu hugged him from behind.

The Soul Hunting Horse galloped wildly through the streets of Spirit City, instantly drawing the attention of countless young girls.

Guang Ling looked entirely like a teenage boy. He had an intense youthful charm, was extraordinarily handsome, and even had a touch of cuteness. A face like that was simply lethal to girls.

"Oh my god! Look! That handsome little brother on horseback is so cute~!"

Guang Ling flashed a dashing pose and greeted the girls along the road with a bright smile. "Hi there, pretty ladies~"

"Ahhh~ He's so handsome! He's greeting us~"

"Oh no! My heart is racing!!"

It would have been one thing if Guang Ling had not greeted them, but the moment he did, he set off a wave of shrieks from the girls.

Guang Yu: .

Little brother? He's almost a hundred years old. Guang Yu grumbled inwardly, speechless. "Granduncle, could you ride faster? Stop playing around."

"Hahaha! It's been so long since I came out, so I'm a little excited. Forgive me, Little Yu Yu."

"But are you perhaps jealous of this old man's charm~?" Guang Ling teased.

"Jealous my ass! Ride faster, Granduncle!"

"Alright, alright, got it!"

"Hyah!"

Guang Ling picked up speed and charged out of Spirit City.

Yet after traveling only a short distance, he stopped, scratched his head, and looked rather confused. "Oh dear, this old man hasn't left Spirit City in over ten years. Why does this road look a little different?"

Guang Yu rolled his eyes. "Good thing I brought a map."

"Granduncle, this way!"

"Alright! You brat really are reliable!"

The two rode at full speed all the way toward Sunset Forest.

Along the way, they passed through numerous cities, encountered many things, and saw countless new sights and novelties.

Whenever he got tired, he wanted to rest.

Whenever he came across something novel or fun, he could never resist being drawn to it.

Whenever he saw something unpleasant, he wanted to interfere.

Sometimes, when they had been walking properly along a city street, Guang Yu would suddenly have no idea where he had run off to.

He was utterly willful.

He had the temperament of a child, yet he was cheerful, spirited, and lively.

Throughout the journey, Guang Yu truly felt as though he had worried himself sick.

At times, he really wanted to complain, "Who exactly is the granduncle, and who is the grandnephew here?!"

Still, being around someone like this seemed to make even those prone to feeling down become much livelier.

Seven days later.

The two finally arrived at Sunset Forest.

"Little Yu Yu, we're here."

Guang Ling Douluo, who had been playful and somewhat unreliable throughout the trip, seemed like a different person now. His expression turned serious and solemn. "Poisonous Fog fills this place, and there are many thousand-year Poisonous Soul Beasts. It's still very dangerous for you."

"Climb onto Granduncle's back. I'll fly you straight in."

Seeing Guang Ling's serious expression, Guang Yu nodded to himself. He actually seems a little reliable now.

The Light Feather Divine Bow Martial Soul could release icy crystalline energy through the Martial Soul, forming translucent Ice Wings that granted the ability to fly.

For a long-range attack Soul Master like him, Ice Wings were tremendously useful in battle. (As I recall, Douluo Dalu Season 1 did not classify things so specifically. The concept of long-range attack types only appeared in Douluo Dalu Season 2, but I think there should be a long-range attack category, so Guang Ling is set as a long-range attack Soul Master here.)

"Mm!"

Guang Ling spread his Ice Wings, carried Guang Yu on his back, and flew directly over Poison Fog Forest into the depths of Sunset Forest.

Along the way, Guang Yu reminded him, "Granduncle, have you heard that there is a Poison Douluo renowned throughout the Soul Master world for his poison, and that he lives in seclusion here?"

"Oh, I think there really is such a thing."

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well we're heading to is where he usually cultivates. In other words, we're very likely to run into him."

Guang Ling said disdainfully, "Hmph, he's merely a Poison Douluo. There's nothing to fear. If he dares get in our way, I'll blow him apart with one arrow."

"True. Granduncle is a peak Rank 96 Title Douluo. Against a Rank 91 Title Douluo, it would practically be a one-sided beating!"

Led by Guang Ling Douluo, the two smoothly reached the core region of Sunset Forest.

They then flew directly into the place where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located.

"Little Yu Yu, that old fellow is here." Guang Ling sensed him the moment they entered.

His Spiritual Power was extremely powerful, even surpassing that of the Rank 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Among the Seven Great High Priests, it was second only to Qian Daoliu's.

At that moment, Dugu Bo was sitting cross-legged near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, cultivating. He suddenly opened his eyes. "Hm?"

"Who dares trespass into the cultivation grounds of I, Dugu Bo!"

"Are you courting death?"

A cloud of green Poisonous Fog rushed toward them. The next moment, Dugu Bo slowly stepped out of the mist.

"What is this? It's actually a teenager carrying a little child?" Dugu Bo froze when he saw Guang Ling and Guang Yu, both looking utterly harmless.

He was also deeply puzzled. "At your age, how did you survive passing through Poison Fog Forest and all those Poisonous Soul Beasts to reach this place?"

"We got in easily!" Guang Ling replied indifferently.

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly. "???? Easily?"

He had set up countless poison formations throughout Sunset Forest. Even a Soul Sage entering it would face Nine Deaths, One Life!

But Dugu Bo did not care anymore. Killing intent immediately flashed in his eyes. "Fine. I don't care how you got in, but since you're here, you need not leave."

"This place is the cave dwelling where I, Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, cultivate my poison arts. Anyone else who trespasses here has only death awaiting them."

"You came somewhere you should not have."

"Is that so? But you can't kill me." Guang Ling said with a smile.

"Hahahaha! You really know how to joke, young man!" Dugu Bo burst out laughing.
