Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 47 Shi Family
The design of Dugu Bo's battle armor is more difficult. Firstly, when the armor was designed, only Dugu Bo's wearing was taken into consideration, so there was very little space reserved for the design.

The second reason is that in addition to the martial soul itself, soul bones and soul skills must also be considered in the amplification design of the battle armor, so Dugu Bo's armor almost requires two people to make a lot of modifications on its basis.

A month and a half had passed before Dugu Bo and Tong Rui's battle armors were completely made. At this time, the two had already set out on the journey to visit other families.

"Xiao Rui, our Dugu family has a small population, and you helped us solve the problem of poison gas backlash, so as long as I say to join the sect, no one in our family will object."

Tong Rui nodded: "But other families may have different opinions, because I haven't achieved any benefits for them."

"That's the truth. The Xuanwu family is easy to deal with, but the people in this family are very stubborn. I heard that you have already given them the soul skill combination and the immortal grass that can achieve two titles, so they shouldn't make things difficult for you."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Xuanwushi's house, and were stopped by two gatekeepers.

Seeing the two men's extraordinary demeanor, the guards did not look down on them. Instead, they asked tentatively, "I wonder why the two of you came to my Shi family?"

"Please inform the head of the family that Tong Rui from the Xingchen Sect and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo are here to visit." Tong Rui saluted with a fist.

Although the guard had never heard of the Xingchen Sect, the name of Poison Douluo was still very intimidating, and he quickly clasped his fists in return and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and report right away."

Not long after the guard went in, he hurried out, followed by the two brothers of the Shi family. Shi Mo said happily, "That's great, Xiao Rui, you're finally here. Come with me, my father and the others are waiting in the lobby. Let me tell you."

Seeing Shi Mo directly pulling Tong Rui in, Shi Mo's mouth twitched, and he turned around and saluted Dugu Bo respectfully and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Dugu, Shi Mo is a little silly, please don't mind."

Dugu Bo stared at the millstone and suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha, young people, it's always good to be more lively. Let's go, don't let Xiao Rui lose confidence in front of those old guys in your family."

Seeing Dugu Bo leaving, Shi Mo quickly followed him and led the way. At the same time, he was also confused, because he clearly remembered that this senior Dugu would make a sour face when he saw them and Dugu Yan getting too close, which caused Shi Mo to run away when he saw him now.

On the other side, Shi Mo pulled Tong Rui into the lobby, and Dugu Bo and Shi Mo followed closely behind.

Shi Mo shouted, "Dad, hurry up, Xiao Rui is here, tell us your request quickly and then join Xiao Rui's sect."

Shi Mo's father, Shi Xiaolong glared at Shi Mo, then smiled and said to Tong Rui: "Hahaha, Xiao Rui, can I call you that? And Senior Dugu, please take a seat."

At this time, there was not only Chief Shi in the hall, but also the former chief and elders, all of whom were the grandfathers of the Shi brothers and people of the same generation.

Tong Rui spoke first, "Chief Shi, since you already call me Xiao Rui, then based on my relationship with Shi Mo and Shi Mo, I will dare to call you Uncle Shi. I won't beat around the bush. This time I came here to invite your family to join our sect."

"Xiao Rui, although Shi Mo's words were a little rough just now, there is nothing wrong with what he said. I know that you are here to invite our family to join the sect, but I don't know what our family can get by joining the sect?"

Tong Rui hesitated when he heard this, and looked at the elders of the Shi family. The Shi clan leader also wondered what price would be appropriate. At this time, Dugu Bo's voice transmission sounded in his ears, saying: "The former clan leader of the Shi family is the grandfather of the Shi family boy. He has been stuck at the 89th level Soul Douluo stage for more than ten years and has not made any progress."

Tong Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Uncle Shi, whether it's the combination of the fusion soul skills or the immortal grass that will directly grant the Shi brothers a title, I only chose these for the benefit of my friends. I will not use them as a bargaining chip to threaten the Shi family."

"This should be Uncle Shi's father and Shi Mo's grandfather." Tong Rui asked one of the old men.

Without waiting for his reply, he continued, "I heard that you have been stuck at level 89 for more than ten years and have not made any progress. I am sorry. I did not mean to offend you, but Shi Mo should have told you that my sect has a way to break through the ban."

"Shi Mo did tell me about breaking through the title, but I think if our Shi family joins the Spirit Hall, a soul bone can also allow me to break through the title." Shi Mo's grandfather, Shi Duantian said.

Tong Rui smiled and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that if you try to break through the title simply by relying on a soul bone, then one day you will also fall into a bottleneck. And can you really join the Spirit Hall because of a soul bone?"

"Not to mention that most of the Shi family's industries are in the Tiandou Empire. I think a family like the Shi family with the Xuanwu martial spirit should have an ancestral soul bone inheritance. The reason why you haven't broken through the seal yet is probably because you want to leave it to the two brothers Shi Mo."

A hint of warmth also emerged on Shi Duantian's calm face, and then he became serious again and said, "Yes, we old guys do want to leave soul bones for the future of the clan, so breaking through the title is not worth mentioning compared to the family."

Tong Rui's face was solemn: "You are indeed a great elder of the clan, but I am not here today to mock you. The secret method of breaking through the seal of our sect does exist. It is not 100%, but it should be 80%. I will make the decision. For the sake of Shimo and Shimo, if you join our sect, I will give you three pieces of turtle ten thousand year soul bones."

"This is serious!" an old man stood up and said excitedly.

This old man didn't want to break through the title faster because of the spirit bone. At their age, they have been fighting for a lifetime and have become indifferent to life and death. Apart from the obsession of breaking through, only the prosperity of the family can move them.

“Do as you say.”

"Okay, I believe in the relationship between you and the two children, Shimo and Shimo, so I also believe that you will not treat our family unfairly. From now on, the 184 members of our Xuanwu Turtle family are willing to join the Xingchen Sect." The old man spoke, and even the clan leader Shi Xiaolong had to listen.

This was not a spur-of-the-moment, impromptu decision. Old Master Shi Duantian also knew that based on the combination of the three soul skills and the favor of the two brothers of the Shi family who were directly granted titles, his family had already been tied to Tong Rui's chariot.

Even if they don't join now, when Shimo and Shimo take control of the family in the future, they will probably join the sect sooner or later. It is better to take the opportunity to gain some benefits for the future of the family.

Tong Rui smiled and said, "Since the Shi family has decided to join the clan, I will also show you the true benefits of the sect. Senior Dugu, thank you for your help."

"Okay, Bi——, Phosphorus——!" The two-word battle armor instantly possessed Dugu Bo, and a low-key aura immediately covered the entire Shi family.

I want to post an Easter egg chapter, but I don’t know how, so everyone can search it yourself, it’s Dugu Bo’s spirit armor in the Douluo Dalu comics.
