Hey, Grandson!

[Ding! Key event check-in successful! "Saving the Dugu Family"]

Help the Dugu Family overcome the effects of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison and promote the Martial Soul Evolution to trigger a rare hidden reward!

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained Soul Skill Modification Card!]

[Reward Description: The host can use this card to revise the effects of acquired Soul Skill. New Soul Skill effects can be devised by the host, but must not exceed the maximum effect of this Soul Ring's duration.]

Yan Zu's eyes narrowed. The Soul Skill Modification Card —if used properly, this reward could be a divine skill. However, it also had limitations; it couldn't exceed the maximum effect of this Soul Ring.

Simply put, you can't give your First Soul Skill a nuclear bomb effect; that's something a hundred-year Soul Skill can't achieve.

However, if we approach it from the perspective of assistance or functionality, it might bring unexpected surprises.

However, this can be considered later.

In the valley, the grandfather and grandson stood facing each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Dugu Yan looked at the imposing "grandfather" who appeared to be only in his early forties, opened her mouth, and after a long while, tentatively called out, "Grandpa... Grandpa?"

Dugu Bo stared blankly at his granddaughter. Was this really Yanyan, who had been plagued by toxins since childhood and always seemed sickly? The bright, beautiful, and spirited girl in front of him was like a completely different person!

He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, and felt firm, smooth skin, not the loose, wrinkled feeling he remembered.

He looked down at his hands, which had once been swollen and dull due to the accumulation of toxins. Now, they were long and strong, and his skin looked almost as good as it had in his prime.

"Hahaha----" Dugu Bo suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his laughter filled with joy and excitement, "It's solved! It's really solved!"

Even that damned appearance has been restored!

He turned to look at Yan Zu, his dark golden eyes filled with gratitude. "Yan Zu, do you see? I—no, I look younger than many fifty-year-old Soul Master!"

Dugu Yan ran to Yan Zu's side, took his hand, and her bright blue eyes sparkled. "A-Zu, look at me! My eye color has changed! And I feel so much lighter, like I've taken off a really heavy burden!"

Yan Zu smiled and nodded, "Congratulations, Senior Dugu, congratulations, Senior Yan. This is how you should be."

He was secretly amazed. The effect of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison on the Dugu Family bloodline was so profound that it had even completely changed their appearance.

Once the toxins are removed, their true nature and vitality, which have been suppressed for many years, burst forth like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Dugu Bo walked to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, examining his reflection in the mirror-like water. The man in the water had silver hair and golden eyes, a resolute face, and an upright posture; there was not a trace of the gloomy old man he once was.

He remained silent for a moment, then suddenly took a deep breath, turned around and solemnly said to Yan Zu, "Yan Zu, from this day forward, you are not only my benefactor, Dugu Bo, but also a member of the Dugu Family. The Dugu Family will never forget this life-saving grace."

Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes as he looked Yan Zu up and down, becoming more and more satisfied. "Yan Zu, what do you think of my granddaughter Yanyan? Although she's a few years older than you, 'a woman three years older is a lucky charm!' Moreover, her Martial Soul Evolution, and her talent is even greater than before. She wouldn't be unworthy of you—"

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan blushed deeply, "What nonsense are you talking about! How old is A-Zu? Besides—besides, I already have Tian Heng!"

Yan Zu quickly waved his hand, "Senior, please don't play matchmaker. Senior Yan and Senior Brother Yu Tianheng are deeply in love, I can't steal them away."

Dugu Bo was taken aback, only then remembering that his granddaughter was indeed close to that boy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

He sighed regretfully, "What a pity, what a pity! Yan Zu, I couldn't find another grandson-in-law like you even if I searched with a lantern!"

His eyes darted around, and another idea popped into his head. "How about this! Since we can't be each other's grandson-in-law, you'll be my grandson! From today onwards, you're my godson, Dugu Bo! If anyone dares to bully you, just tell your grandpa, and grandpa will kill them for you!"

Yan Zu was both amused and exasperated. This Poison Douluo's train of thought was just too unpredictable.

Although he found the way of expressing himself somewhat unusual, even a bit childishly domineering, the sincerity and protectiveness it contained warmed his heart.

He knew that this was the most direct way for Dugu Bo to express his gratitude and closeness.

Moreover, having Titled Douluo like Grandpa Dugu who is willing to protect his own people is a good thing for both himself and his companions.

So Yan Zu smiled slightly, readily agreeing, bowed respectfully, and said loudly, "In that case, I shall respectfully comply. Grandpa Dugu!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Dugu Bo exclaimed excitedly, patting Yan Zu's shoulder forcefully. "From today onwards, you are my grandson, Dugu Bo! Yanyan, from now on, A-Zu is your younger brother. You must take good care of him!"

Dugu Yan laughed happily and hugged Yan Zu, saying, "Little Brother A-Zu! I've always wanted a little brother!"

Yan Zu was caught off guard by this sudden display of familial affection, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart. In the world of the Douluo Continent, having another grandfather at the level of Titled Douluo and another exceptionally talented older sister didn't seem so bad.

"Sister Yanyan," he called softly.

Dugu Yan laughed even more heartily.

The sun was shining brightly in the valley.

Looking at his grandson and granddaughter, Dugu Bo exclaimed with boundless pride, "Let's go! We're going back to Heaven Dou City! Grandpa's going to have a proper celebration! And then I'll get Yanyan her Fourth Soul Ring!"

Yan Zu stopped her, saying, "Grandpa Lonely, let's not rush Sister Yanyan's acquisition of her Fourth Soul Ring. I suggest Yanyan stay here for a month to consolidate her cultivation. The current Ice and Fire Body-Tempering Pill can remove poison, which isn't suitable for Sister Yanyan. I'll refine a few more Body Tempering Pills without the poison-removing effect for Sister Yanyan, and with the Universe Mind-Calming Pill, I'm confident I can help her acquire Sister Yanyan Fourth Soul Ring, which will also be over ten thousand years old."

"Also, I have a secret technique for Sister Yanyan to practice; perhaps it will bring some pleasant surprises."

"Also, Grandpa Dugu, I might have to stay here for a while longer," Yan Zu said. "There are some ideas that need to be tested."

Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively. "No problem! This place is yours from now on! Stay as long as you want! Gather any medicinal herbs you need! I'm entrusting Yanyan to you."

Yan Zu smiled and nodded. He knew that from this day forward, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, this treasure land, would truly become an important foundation for his rise in the Douluo Continent.

In the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, time quietly flows by.

Several days have passed since Dugu Bo and his grandson's Martial Soul Evolution, but Yan Zu is not in a hurry to leave this treasure land. He knows that Dugu Yan's acquisition of her Fourth Soul Ring is crucial, and he himself needs to complete the next stage of his cultivation in this place rich in spiritual energy.
