After Dugu Yan's Fourth Soul Ring was fully integrated into his body, Dugu Bo made an important decision: to have his granddaughter switch from Control System Soul Master to Power Attack System Soul Master.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is not really suitable for a Control System Soul Master path.
The only way to control it is with poison mist; its attack methods are too limited.
The reason he had his granddaughter follow the Control System path was to strengthen her control over her Martial Soul and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, thus delaying the onset of the Martial Soul's backlash.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious: by pursuing a path of drug control, it is almost impossible for him to become a true powerhouse in the future.
Looking at the Soul Douluo and even Titled Douluo powerhouses on the continent, most of them are based on the Power Attack System and the Agility Attack System, while there are very few powerhouses based on the Control System or the Defense System.
He himself is a Power Attack System Titled Douluo, but he is more skilled in group attacks. At first glance, he seems to be the weakest Titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent.
His current plan for his granddaughter is to focus on close-quarters combat, supplemented by the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, using it to penetrate the opponent's body through wounds to launch attacks.
Now that his granddaughter has broken through to the Soul Ancestor, Dugu Bo thought to himself that he should find an opportunity to visit Yue Guan.
He needed to find out exactly what was added to the two bottles of antidote pills Yue Guan had given him, that they were so effective.
If her granddaughter's potential was previously limited to the Soul Douluo, now her guaranteed potential is at least that of Titled Douluo.
This is extremely frightening.
But Dugu Bo didn't know was that Yue Guan had indeed put a lot of effort into the ingredients for this antidote.
If only the blood of Gui Yuan is used as a medicinal guide, along with ordinary medicinal herbs to make an antidote pill, it can help Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan detoxify, but only temporarily.
As time goes on, toxins will continue to accumulate in the body, so it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
The toxins in the body must be drawn back in using Soul Bone, but if the Soul Bone cannot withstand the pressure, death is still the only outcome.
Yue Guan didn't tell Dugu Bo about the method of introducing poison into the Soul Bone because Soul Bone are extremely rare treasures for most Titled Douluo; they're not so easy to obtain.
As for Soul Bone of the thousand-year level, they simply cannot withstand the accumulation of a large amount of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.
Therefore, he added Immortal Herb to the antidote pill, which completely solved the problem of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.
Essentially, it's about transforming their Martial Soul Martial Soul to address this deficiency.
Given Yue Guan's situation and strength, it's not unreasonable for him not to refine this antidote pill for Dugu Bo.
However, his relationship with Dugu Bo was one of both rivalry and friendship; they developed feelings for each other through their battles, and there was a sense of mutual respect between them.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was originally discovered by Dugu Bo, so he can be considered to have upheld a moral code.
Furthermore, he hoped that Dugu Bo would remember this kindness and join the Spirit Hall in the future.
He knew that one day the Spirit Hall would take action against the two great empires, and if Dugu Bo still insisted on standing with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family at that time, he would only face certain death.
Four months later.
Gui Yuan's Soul Power finally broke through from level 59 to level 60.
At the moment of breakthrough, he let out a long breath, feeling the abundant Soul Power surging within his body.
Since he cultivated to levels 59 and 60 on his own, as long as he obtains the Sixth Soul Ring, he can trigger the "[ Level Up!! ]" event and gain an additional level of Soul Power.
He stood up, stretched his slightly stiff neck, and then walked towards the Pope's Palace.
Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong saw Gui Yuan walk in, and after a thought, asked, "You've broken through?"
Gui Yuan nodded and chuckled, "Yes, teacher, I'm level 60 now. Can I start preparing to go to the Far North to hunt that Hundred-Thousand-Year Mirror Shadow Beast?"
Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment, her gaze lingering on him for a few seconds.
To be honest, she was quite surprised by the speed at which her disciple cultivated.
Even if they were somewhat prepared, who would believe a ten-year-old Quasi-Soul Emperor?
However, she quickly thought of another problem and frowned slightly.
"You want to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at level 60? With your current physique, isn't that a bit risky?"
Bibi Dong said calmly, "Your Fifth Soul Ring is only about 60,000 years old, and the First Soul Ring of your Second Martial Soul is only a little over 60,000 years old."
"You want the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul to be further enhanced with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, which spans 40,000 years in between. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Generally speaking, it is relatively safe to absorb an 80,000-year Soul Ring after 60,000 years. It is not impossible to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but it is extremely difficult and the absorption time will be very long.
Gui Yuan himself understood this point; with his current physique, absorbing Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was indeed somewhat of a strain.
However, he possesses three Soul Bone: the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Right Palm Bone, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada Wings, Titan Giant Ape Right Leg Bone.
The enhancement of his physique by the three great Soul Bone makes it not impossible for him to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
In particular, the right leg bone of the Titan Giant Ape, once absorbed, greatly enhances one's physical constitution.
He told Bibi Dong about this idea.
After listening, Bibi Dong pondered for a moment and said, "That's true. You still have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone on you, so go then."
"However, before you hunt down that Hundred-Thousand-Year Mirror Shadow Beast, you will need to consume a certain amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue every day."
"Although the more times you take Whale Rubber, the less it improves your physical condition, in your case, every bit of improvement in your physical condition increases the safety level later on."
Gui Yuan had never taken Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue before.
Because if he had consumed something like the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, given his previous cultivation level, it would have inevitably triggered an arousal reaction.
Since he could increase the age of his Soul Ring every year afterward, there was no need for him to take any more.
If he takes it a few more times now, his physique should improve for thousands of years, which shouldn't be a problem.
But Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue is extremely rare.
After all, this kind of thing needs to be obtained from whale-type fish Soul Beast with ten thousand years of cultivation, and it is not found in every ten-thousand-year whale-type fish Soul Beast, so it is quite rare.
Bibi Dong saw the concerns in her disciple's mind and said calmly, "Although Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue is rare, our Spirit Hall has plenty in stock, so don't worry."
Subsequently, Gui Yuan himself went to inform Qian Daoliu and the others in the Worship Hall that he had broken through.
Qian Daoliu and his companions also made their decision, and three days later, they set off for the Far North.
Afterwards, Gui Yuan encountered Hu Liena and Xie Yue, who had returned from the Spirit Hall Academy.
"Brother Xie Yue, Sister Nana, you're back?"
Xie Yue nodded. "Yes, I've broken through to level 50. I was thinking of coming back with Nana to report to His Holiness the Pope."
Hu Liena looked at Gui Yuan's slightly upturned expression with suspicion. "You didn't break through to level sixty, did you?"
