Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 142 The Concept of Souls

"Grandpa Zhao... how did you become like this?" After confirming that the noble young man in red in front of her was Zhao Mu, Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask.

It's a girl's nature to love beauty. Not only Dugu Yan, but also Ye Lingling and other girls all hope to become more and more beautiful.

Especially with Zhao Mu's living example right there, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were naturally even more unsettled.

Of course, this doesn't mean Zhao Mu wasn't good-looking before. The change and improvement in Zhao Mu's appearance is roughly equivalent to going from 99 points to 100 points. It's just that this one-point difference is particularly noticeable.

Since Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both on his side, Zhao Mu had no need to hide anything from them. He then told them about how his appearance had changed after absorbing the Acacia Heartbreak Red as his sixth soul ring.

"Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red? Second Grandfather, does the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well still have this kind of immortal herb, Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red?" Upon hearing that it was Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red that caused Zhao Mu's appearance to change, Dugu Yan subconsciously asked immediately.

"We do have the seeds of the Red Acacia, but you can't use them."

Not to mention that the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red needs to be cultivated and grown on the Black Stone, even if there were finished Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red products, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling would not be able to use them.

Do these two seem like innocent, naive types?
Since love can't make the Acacia Heartbreak Red flower recognize its master, can it perhaps learn from Black and White? Swallow it whole?

Forget it!
Hearing Zhao Mu's explanation, the two women were unwilling, but there was nothing they could do.

"By the way, Second Grandfather, it's been almost a year since we last met. What's your soul power level now? I've reached level sixty! Lingling is already level forty-nine, just one step away from becoming a Soul King." Since she couldn't get the Acacia Heartbreak Red, Dugu Yan was quite carefree and stopped worrying about it. Instead, she changed the subject to Zhao Mu's soul power level. Although she said she was asking Zhao Mu, she was actually showing off that her soul power level had reached sixty.

With the unique properties of the Calamity Poison Body, Dugu Yan could increase her soul power by taking poison. Therefore, she reached level 60 in just a few months. She only needed one soul ring to officially break through to the Soul Emperor level.

Ye Lingling's soul power level was already lower than Dugu Yan's. Even though the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid increased Ye Lingling's cultivation speed, it still couldn't compare to Dugu Yan, who could take shortcuts by taking poison.

Of course, the fact that the two of them have reached this level of skill at this age is already quite remarkable.

After all, the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall only had the strength of a Soul King at around level 50.

Dugu Yan has not only surpassed the three, but she only needs to obtain a sixth soul ring to have a high probability of surpassing Qin Ming and Tang Hao and becoming the youngest Soul Emperor on the continent.

Of course, this is on the premise that Zhao Mu is not included.

Dugu Bo was very satisfied with Dugu Yan's current strength. After all, before he met Zhao Mu, Dugu Yan was only a Soul Venerable with a Soul Power level of over 30. Now, in just over a year, she is about to break through to the level 60 Soul Emperor.

As it turns out, hard work is worthless in the face of cheating!
However, when Dugu Bo thought of Zhao Mu, he felt that Dugu Yan's improvement in strength was nothing special.

"Yanyan, it's one thing for you to compare yourself with others, but to compare your cultivation speed with Second Brother is just asking for trouble," Dugu Bo said, shaking his head with some helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's initial smugness instantly cooled down considerably. From Dugu Bo's words, it was not difficult to discern that Zhao Mu's soul power level seemed to be above her own.

"Second Grandfather, could it be that your soul power level has broken through level sixty and you have obtained your sixth soul ring?"

Before leaving the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, although Dugu Yan couldn't beat Zhao Mu, Dugu Yan was a five-ring Soul King at that time, while Zhao Mu was only a four-ring Quasi-Soul King. Dugu Yan still had the advantage in Soul Power level. Could it be that he has now been surpassed by the other party?

Zhao Mu's attention was no longer on the younger generation, but on the older generation of experts, so he had no intention of provoking or hurting Dugu Yan. He simply told the truth: "My soul power level has now reached level eighty."

"As expected, it's already past level sixty... Wait! What level did you say your soul power was?! Level eighty?! And you said you hadn't activated it yet..."

Upon hearing that Zhao Mu's soul power level had reached level eighty, Ye Lingling was so surprised that her mouth gaped open. It took her a long time to react before she said, "Yanyan, can you compare to him? After all, it is because of Zhao Mu that we have our current strength."

No matter how strong Dugu Yan was, the twenty-level difference had completely stunned her.

And just as Ye Lingling said, without Zhao Mu, neither she nor Lingling would have reached their current strength, and they would probably only be at the same level as Yu Tianheng.

After consoling herself, Dugu Yan said with a hint of resentment, "Second Grandfather, my soul power has reached level sixty, and I need a suitable soul ring. Lingling is also almost level fifty and will soon need her fifth soul ring, so please help me out."

Because of Zhao Mu, the two women were able to surpass Yu Tianheng and the others in strength, so much so that now, when it comes to spirit rings, they both think of Zhao Mu first. In Dugu Bo's view, although Zhao Mu sometimes acts recklessly, the final result is always good, so Dugu Bo has no major objection to entrusting the two women's spirit rings to Zhao Mu.

"Second brother, if you can, please help these two people."

As soon as Dugu Bo spoke, Zhao Mu immediately responded, "Brother, Yan Yan and Ling Ling are both family members, so naturally I won't hold back."

After saying that, Zhao Mu turned to look at the two of them with a light smile: "Do you two want 100,000-year soul rings?"

"One hundred thousand year soul ring?!"

Upon hearing about the 100,000-year soul ring, both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

A 100,000-year soul ring is something every soul master dreams of.

To put it simply, even Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, doesn't have a 100,000-year soul ring yet.

As if he had just thought of something, Dugu Bo's first reaction was, "Second brother, you wouldn't be thinking of taking advantage of these kids, would you? Giving them both 100,000-year soul rings, isn't that a bit too radical and risky?"

"Babies?" Ye Lingling finally spoke up in a light voice, "Are these children all transformed from the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

Ye Lingling possesses the advanced plant-type martial soul, Ten-Heart Begonia, and had already made a guess upon seeing these fairy herb dolls at first glance.

"These are immortal herbs?" Dugu Yan felt her worldview being challenged.

Zhao Mu nodded, and then told the two women about the growth-inducing immortal herb.

"These children are indeed transformed from immortal herbs, but their true forms are still growing in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."

Although they were somewhat confused by what they heard, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked at Zhao Mu with deep admiration and other emotions.

Girls' attraction to boys often begins with admiration (or interest).

“But what about these fairy herb babies…” Ye Lingling looked troubled. Even though she knew they were fairy herbs, her maternal instincts made her feel reluctant to do it.

If it were shaped like a fairy herb, it would be fine, but now that it looks like a doll, it's a bit unbearable.

Dugu Bo's reason for not doing it was out of compassion, but rather because absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring was no easy feat. Even Zhao Mu made numerous preparations before absorbing his first 100,000-year soul ring.

"Who said you were to murder these fairy herb babies to obtain 100,000-year soul rings?" Zhao Mu said.

"Huh? Not attack them? But how do we obtain a 100,000-year soul ring?" the two women asked, puzzled.

Even Dugu Bo looked at Zhao Mu with a puzzled expression, feeling that Zhao Mu was about to cause trouble again.

Zhao Mu smiled, though he already had a new idea in mind.

"You don't necessarily have to hunt or eat them to obtain their 100,000-year soul ring."

"If this method is adopted, not to mention whether you can bear to lay a hand on these fairy herb dolls, the pressure and soul impact of the 100,000-year soul ring alone are not something the two of you can withstand."

Dugu Bo, standing to the side, nodded in agreement. This was exactly what he was worried about. After all, not everyone was as monstrous as Zhao Mu. Absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul ring for the fifth or sixth soul ring was too risky.

"So I plan to let you obtain their 100,000-year soul rings in another way, so that you can coexist with these fairy herb dolls..."

"And I call this method the spirit!"
