"All you need are Soul Bones?"
After hearing Yu Tianling's words, Dugu Bo murmured to himself, then let out a long breath.
Soul Bones might not be so easy for ordinary Soul Masters to find, but what Titled Douluo did not have a few? Besides, the factions behind Titled Douluo certainly possessed Soul Bones as well, so this second method seemed truly simple to Dugu Bo.
"Holy Son, I'll take my leave first, then. Once I find suitable Soul Bones, I'll bring Yanyan to Spirit City."
Once he knew exactly what he needed, Dugu Bo could not wait to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring.
"Holy Son, where are we going next?"
Yu Tianling and Gui Mei watched Dugu Bo swiftly disappear into the poisonous miasma, after which Gui Mei lowered his head and asked.
Hearing Gui Mei's question, Yu Tianling did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Ghost Elder, your Martial Soul's attribute has evolved into Ultimate Darkness now, hasn't it?"
"That's right. Thanks to your trust, Holy Son, my Martial Soul has now undergone a transformation. My Ghost Fire Martial Soul's darkness attribute has been directly and permanently elevated to Ultimate Darkness, and its fire attribute is far more powerful than before as well. My Soul Power has also risen by one level."
"Oh? You've already reached level 96?"
Yu Tianling raised an eyebrow, a little surprised inwardly.
He had only known that the Ghost Shadow Jade Flower could enhance the darkness attribute power of whoever consumed it. He had never expected it could even take a Titled Douluo a step further!
After all, the step from Level 95 to level 96 was no small hurdle for a Titled Douluo. Many people might spend their entire lives unable to cross it and become a Super Douluo.
Gui Mei had truly reaped an enormous profit from this trip. Having taken this step, he might even reach Limit Douluo in the future. Of course, Gui Mei had thought of all this himself; otherwise, why would a man who always wore a cold expression have been smiling ever since?
Now that he had seen how effective the Immortal Herb was after Gui Mei consumed it, Yu Tianling suddenly felt somewhat eager to see what would happen after the others in Spirit Hall consumed their Immortal Herbs.
"Ghost Elder, leave ahead of me and take these Immortal Herbs back to Spirit City. I've already written down how to use each one and who should take it. I'm going to stay in Heaven Dou City for a while."
At this point, Yu Tianling paused. Seeing that Gui Mei wanted to speak, he continued, "Unless something unexpected happens, Sister Na and Brother Yue will definitely reach Level 40 after absorbing the Immortal Herbs. You can come to Heaven Dou City with them and meet up with me then."
"Yes. Please be careful, Holy Son. If you encounter anyone you cannot defeat, you can seek help at the Spirit Hall Branch in Heaven Dou City. There are Soul Douluo among the red-robed bishops there."
Gui Mei had been unwilling to leave Yu Tianling alone, but after hearing him out, he knew he could not change Yu Tianling's mind. He could only offer a brief word of caution, then take the prepared Immortal Herbs and Ten Thousand Poison Pill and leave ahead of him.
The moment he emerged from the poisonous miasma, Gui Mei unleashed the full strength of a Super Douluo and rushed toward Spirit City, hoping only to arrive a little sooner so he could return to Heaven Dou City and reunite with Yu Tianling as soon as possible.
Inside Sunset Forest, Heaven Dou Empire.
After absorbing those two Immortal Herbs, my Soul Power became much denser, but it didn't rise by much. I've reached level 48 now. Still, with my Soul Core, my Soul Power shouldn't increase too slowly. I should be able to reach Level 50 in another six months and pass the God of War's Third Trial.
Yu Tianling walked carefully through Sunset Forest, thinking as he went.
After consuming the Immortal Herbs, he had gained a body immune to all poisons. Then he had received the gifts of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, obtaining the two great attributes of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire. The Ancient Void Dragon's strength had been enhanced once more, and his strength had reached level 48 in a short time, bringing him another step closer to completing the God of War's Third Trial. It had truly been a bountiful harvest.
Yu Tianling had no intention of cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring until he reached Level 50. He planned to visit the Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City. Fighting was the better way to adapt to his strength, wasn't it?
Thus, not long after Gui Mei left, Yu Tianling also departed from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring and headed out of Sunset Forest.
Along the way, Yu Tianling discovered a curious phenomenon: whenever Soul Beasts under ten thousand years encountered him, they hurried away in fear, as though they had encountered their natural predator.
After thinking for a while, Yu Tianling could only attribute it to the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' inheritance, which had left some of the Dragon Kings' pressure lingering on him.
The Dragon God had originally been the god of Soul Beasts, and the Dragon Kings under him were certainly a rank above these Soul Beasts, so it was only natural that they would instinctively avoid him.
"Quick! Search around here! We can't let her escape. The eldest young miss is waiting for us to bring her back!"
"Yes!"
Suddenly, Yu Tianling heard several clamorous voices in the distance and could not help feeling a little curious.
I didn't expect to run into a deadly pursuit in Sunset Forest. But they're just a bunch of Soul Grandmasters and Soul Elders.
Sensing the fluctuations of Soul Power ahead, Yu Tianling curled his lip. They dared to come chasing someone into Sunset Forest with such paltry strength. They really weren't afraid of dying.
I wonder who's being hunted.
Still, it's none of my business. If it doesn't concern me, I'll hang it high and leave it alone.
With that thought, Yu Tianling continued forward. Before long, he encountered a group of men dressed in black searching the surroundings. He gave them a cursory glance, then paid them no further attention.
Yet just when she wanted no trouble, trouble came knocking on its own.
"Hey, you, kid over there! Did you see a little girl just now?"
One of the men in black spotted Yu Tianling passing by. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly before he turned his head and called out loudly.
Yes, his tone was particularly nasty.
Yu Tianling gave the man an expressionless look, then ignored him, intending to put some distance between himself and this idiot as quickly as possible.
"Huh? You damned brat! Didn't you hear your grandpa asking you a question?"
Seeing Yu Tianling's actions, the man in black seemed to see mocking expressions on the faces of those around him. Enraged, he strode toward Yu Tianling, ready to teach this rude brat a proper lesson.
At that moment, a girl of seven or eight was watching the scene anxiously from a nearby tree, inwardly hesitating over whether to go down. If she did not, wouldn't she be dragging this passing stranger into trouble?
"Watch your filthy mouth."
Hearing the black-clad man's curses, Yu Tianling was in no hurry to leave anymore. He simply stood still and spoke coldly.
"Well, well, you little-!"
The man in black came up beside Yu Tianling and reached out, about to grab his collar, when a clear voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"Stop!"
Then a petite figure jumped down from a tree and stood there, looking at the man in black before Yu Tianling.
Hearing the voice, the man in black felt a surge of delight and whipped around to stare at the little girl who had appeared behind him.
Yu Tianling raised an eyebrow and looked at the little girl who had suddenly spoken up to stop him. She was also dressed entirely in black, with long, jet-black hair and delicate features. Though she was still young, there were already hints of what she would look like in the future. She would certainly become a great beauty.
