Asking Dugu Bo for Guidance

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Yan truly witnessed Lan Hong's terrifying self-discipline. Every moment of his day was packed full.

The moment he opened his eyes in the morning, he washed up, ate, practiced swordsmanship, then studied the "World-Saving Medical Canon" after finishing his sword practice. He also used medicinal ingredients from his Spatial Soul Tool, along with ordinary herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, to refine pills.

At noon, after eating, he continued practicing his swordsmanship, reading, and refining pills.

At night, Lan Hong sat atop the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, drawing upon its ice and fire energy to cultivate.

Dugu Yan had also tried copying Lan Hong, but she could not even keep it up for a single day.

As night fell, Lan Hong had already begun cultivating, while Dugu Bo had returned from Heaven Dou City.

"No wonder he has achieved so much at such a young age. With that level of self-discipline, not to mention among those his age, he is one in a million even across the entire Douluo Continent.

Yanzi, if you could be like him, you would certainly become a Titled Douluo in the future."

"He's a monster. I simply can't keep it up. And why doesn't he need to sleep?"

"Meditation can replace sleep, but it takes long-term persistence to achieve that!

Besides, his meditation method is exceptionally special. That is probably one reason as well!"

At that moment, Dugu Bo turned to look at Dugu Yan.

"Yanzi, what do you think of that boy?"

"What do you mean, what do I think?"

"Don't you understand what Grandpa means?"

"Grandpa! He's only eleven! He's far too young!"

"What does that matter? That boy is a treasure. You had better cherish him, or you'll regret it when it's too late!"

"Grandpa, stop it! I'm ignoring you!"

Dugu Yan ran off to sleep, and Dugu Bo sighed again.

"Forget it. Let nature take its course! I have formed a friendship with this boy. Even if he and Yanzi cannot become husband and wife in the future, he will surely look after her to some extent."

Early the next morning, Lan Hong opened his eyes with a smile at the corner of his lips. He had already reached level 49, only one step away from level 50.

"I've now adapted to the suddenly increased Soul Power. I can use the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew!

Although Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew cannot increase Soul Power, it can raise Spiritual Power. That indirectly increases the speed of Soul Power cultivation as well."

After breakfast, Lan Hong found the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. What was used from it was the dew on its leaves, so there was simply no way to refine it into a pill.

He directly dripped the dew into his eyes. As the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew entered them, Lan Hong immediately felt his mind become clear and bright.

This was the feeling of Spiritual Power increasing. Lan Hong then sat cross-legged and began condensing the Amber Divine Eye once more.

As Lan Hong completely absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, a vertical mark appeared in the center of his forehead. It was the embryonic form of a Heavenly Eye.

"Lan Hong, I never expected this thing to be so miraculous. It actually allowed the Amber Divine Eye to condense the embryonic form of a Heavenly Eye. Perhaps one day, you truly will be able to cultivate the Amber Divine Eye to great completion."

"Yes! I think I can definitely do it! By the way, after absorbing the ice and fire energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, have you and Brother Cat changed in any way?"

"Haha! Little Hong, we can remain outside for longer now, and the consumption of your Soul Power has decreased as well."

"That's right! Part of my strength has recovered too. I am probably no weaker than the Soul Saints here."

"Good! That gives us another measure of safety!"

Lan Hong then got up and went to find Dugu Yan.

"Hm? Why aren't you practicing swordsmanship today?"

"Training behind closed doors won't do. I need an opponent!"

"Are you going to the Great Soul Arena to fight again?"

"No! There are no longer any opponents at the Great Soul Arena that I need! Where is Poison Douluo?"

"What do you need Grandpa for? Don't tell me you want to challenge him!"

"That's right! I wish to seek guidance from Poison Douluo and test my strength!"

"Oh? You're quite confident, boy. No matter what, I am still a Titled Douluo. Are you certain you want to challenge me?"

"Yes! Please enlighten me, Poison Douluo!"

"That form of address is too distant. Call me Grandpa, just like Yanzi does!"

"This..."

"What? Am I not worthy of being called Grandpa by you?"

"Grandpa Dugu, please enlighten me!"

"You slick little brat. Then let me see just how capable you are! Follow me!"

Lan Hong followed Dugu Bo away from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and arrived beside a lake. The area was wide open, making it suitable for a spar.

"Come!"

"Alright!"

Lan Hong did not bother concealing anything and revealed Spirit Rings in a red, blue, and purple-green configuration.

"What is going on with the colors of your Spirit Rings? Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings? No! I've never seen blue and green Spirit Rings before!"

"Their colors merely changed under the influence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's energy!"

With a Changhong Sword in one hand and an Ice Soul Sword in the other, Lan Hong moved and charged at Dugu Bo.

He opened with One Move Three Forms, sending three scorching sword qi slashing in from different directions.

"Interesting!"

Dugu Bo dispersed the sword qi with a burst of Soul Power, but Lan Hong's sword edge had already arrived before him.

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Serpent Celestial Shield!"

A jade-green shield blocked the Changhong Sword's edge, preventing Lan Hong from advancing another inch.

Lan Hong promptly retreated, while the Ice Soul Sword followed with another move—Thousand Miles of Ice!

Dugu Bo and his spirit skill shield were instantly frozen solid. Yet in the next moment, the ice shattered explosively, leaving Dugu Bo completely unharmed.

"What powerful chill! Is this the result of cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Lan Hong immediately continued his assault. The Ice Soul Sword unleashed Hundred Phoenixes Return to Nest, Ice and Snow Melt, Three Feet of Ice, Adding Frost to Snow, Snowflakes Splash, Ice Qi and Snow Arrive, Snow Like a Clear Sky, Soft Snow Cloud Qi, and Soul Ice Blooms Lotus.

The Changhong Sword unleashed Rainbow Fills the Sky, Sky Full of Fire Clouds, Fire Dances in Four Directions, Rainbow Bridge Across the Sky, Arcing Rainbow, Rainbow Haze Splashes, Radiance of Ten Thousand Zhang, Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Buddha's Light Subdues Demons, Myriad Buddhas Pay Homage, Flying Dragon in the Sky, and Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon.

The techniques of the two swords complemented one another, leaving Dugu Bo hard-pressed to keep up.

"Where did you get so many spirit skills? You would have more than enough strength to defeat a Soul Emperor! And after using so many spirit skills, you still have Soul Power? Do none of your spirit skills consume Soul Power?"

Dugu Bo was full of questions, but Lan Hong did not answer. He merely said,

"There is one more move. Please be careful, Grandpa Dugu!"

"Oh? You were still holding back! Come, let me see what other methods you have!"

Lan Hong held the Changhong Sword in one hand and unleashed Changhong Pierces the Sun, while his other hand wielded the Ice Soul Sword and unleashed Ice Sky Snow Land.

Using the Twin Swords Combination alone, he thrust straight at Dugu Bo.

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Serpent Celestial Shield!"

Dugu Bo used his Fifth Spirit Skill once more to block the attack, only to find that it could not stop it. The Serpent Celestial Shield shattered with a thunderous crash.

"Seventh Spirit Skill, Seclusive Serpent Emperor True Body!"

Only after Dugu Bo used his Martial Soul Avatar did he manage to block the Twin Swords Combination!

"What a formidable spirit skill! It actually forced out my Martial Soul Avatar!

You could now deal with some Soul Saints who are not skilled in combat. The younger generation truly inspires awe!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Grandpa Dugu!"
