Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 153 Dugu Bo = Evil Soul Master? (Please subscribe!!! 3 extra chapters)

Dugu Bo realized it himself.

Su Ming didn't know what he had realized, but since he realized it during his illness, it was obviously related to his condition.

"Dugu Bo is quite clever; perhaps he's come up with a cure through my fourth spirit ring?"

Since he, as an outsider, couldn't figure out the answer, he simply stopped thinking about it and focused on doing his own thing.

three days later.

Dugu Bo opened his eyes, a hint of disappointment flashing in them.

"It's not a missing soul ring slot on the soul, it's the interface between the body and the soul."

Dugu Bo's mood can be described as extremely high and low.

He thought he could really sense the gap in the soul part of the martial spirit so easily.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had finished his seclusion and was sighing, Su Ming took the opportunity to inquire about the situation.

"Alas, you've seen it all, so I won't hide it from you."

Dugu Bo briefly explained everything to Su Ming except for the timing and frequency of his own illness.

This defeat did not completely defeat him.

The flaws in his martial soul had troubled him since childhood, and he had tried to solve this problem countless times, failing each time.

This failure is just a small part of his many failures.

Su Ming's expression turned strange after hearing Dugu Bo's idea.

The interface between body and soul?

That's not right.

At this moment, he urgently asked Electrox in the second battle, "After the Soul Control Technique separates the soul, can the soul body sense the interface between the body and the soul?"
Then he got an answer.

"There is no interface. The soul and body correspond. When the soul control technique ends, it will naturally return to the body. If it is separated from the physical body for too long, there may be a blockage. Without an obvious third party, such as a martial soul, you can't see any opening. Moreover, there must be a barrier between the martial soul and the soul, such as an evil soul master, for there to be an opening."

Su Ming looked at Dugu Bo.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Dugu Bo asked, puzzled.

Su Ming's brain was racing.

It's not hard to tell from Electrolux's answer that Dugu Bo is very likely an evil soul master.

This completely shut down his brain.

Because it really doesn't look like it.

First of all, Dugu Bo does not possess the invincible strength of an evil soul master of the same level.

Secondly, Dugu Bo, or his family's cultivation speed, simply couldn't compete with the evil spirit master.

Despite having these two reasons, Su Ming still asked.

"Senior, what can you absorb to cultivate? For example, absorbing toxins to increase your soul power."

"I must be sick to consume toxins for cultivation." Dugu Bo was speechless.

The drawbacks of his martial spirit had already made him feel threatened by death, so why would he further provoke those drawbacks?

Are you looking for death?
Su Ming was stunned.

Dugu Bo seems to be, perhaps, really is an evil spirit master?
There's a bug regarding cultivation speed, but I don't dare use it.

As for strength, perhaps it's a matter of the path they chose; the Dugu family uses poison as a control-type Soul Master.
To verify his conjecture, Su Ming even tried to sense Dugu Bo by sensing his faith. He looked at the top of Dugu Bo's head and found that the old man's head was bubbling with faith.

Not buddy.

Are you really an evil spirit master?
"Your gaze is offensive to me." Dugu Bo's face darkened.

From his perspective, Su Ming looked at him as if he were looking at some kind of monster.

It's not a scary monster, but a disabled monster.

"Senior, have you ever considered that you might be an evil soul master?" Su Ming asked cautiously.

Evil soul master?
"I have killed countless people, and I have never heard of anyone daring to slander me like this!"

Su Ming's lips twitched.

But that's you.

Faith speaks volumes.

If Dugu Bo hadn't been unable to perceive faith, Su Ming would have pointed at his head and said, "You've already declared your faith, yet you still won't admit it."

Dugu Bo wasn't particularly angry that Su Ming called himself an evil soul master. So what? He wasn't someone who cared about what others thought.

On the contrary, Su Ming's statement made him feel that Su Ming might have analyzed some information.

"Tell me, what did you figure out?"

"Senior, you should be able to absorb toxins to increase your soul power, right?" Su Ming asked again.

"It should work, but I've never used it before."

Dugu Bo thought about it seriously and reluctantly accepted it.

He squinted at Su Ming.

“That’s right. You are an evil soul master, but you have too many principles and have not gone down the path of an evil soul master. You have reached your current level by relying on your own will and normal cultivation methods.”

Su Ming forced himself not to utter that word.

"I hope what you've said is useful to my current situation." Dugu Bo's face darkened.

In just a few words, Poison Douluo was identified as an evil soul master.

"The martial souls of evil soul masters all have flaws, but they can use these flaws to cultivate quickly. Some can increase their soul power by devouring blood, some can do it by killing people, and some can refine vengeful spirits. Senior's flaw is poison. His martial soul will expel poison into his body, but he can also cultivate by devouring toxins. If you make good use of this ability to devour toxins, your condition should be alleviated."

"Nonsense!" Dugu Bo said angrily. "If I rashly devour toxins to cultivate, the poison in my body will decrease, but the poison in my martial soul will worsen, which will create a vicious cycle in the future."

Su Ming shook his head.

"Senior, you've overlooked one factor."

"What factors?"

"soul."

"soul?"

Dugu Bo looked thoughtful.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't grasp Su Ming's meaning.

"The minds of evil soul masters are all abnormal because when they cultivate, all kinds of resentment will flow into their souls along with the increase of their soul power, impacting their souls. But at the same time, this will also make their mental power stronger. Although it is chaotic, their mental power is genuinely stronger."

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared intently at Su Ming.

"I understand."

It has nothing to do with the improvement of his mental strength, but rather with his previous way of thinking.

"Devouring toxins and nourishing the soul: My toxins come from my soul rings and soul skills, so nourishing them into my soul might make up for the fact that my soul rings lack a soul component."

As for being contaminated?
Only foolish evil spirit masters who only know how to win by lying down should worry about being corrupted.

If the cultivation methods of evil spirit masters are truly utilized, these drawbacks can all be resolved.

Conventional evil spirit masters frantically increase their soul power, engaging in mindless evil cultivation.

A cunning evil spirit master would actively try to eliminate this flaw, such as by restraining himself, reducing the impact on his soul, or by finding ways to cultivate his spiritual power.

Dugu Bo was very lucky; he had a head bone.

His mental strength was always able to keep up with his soul power cultivation, which allowed him to barely suppress the poison and persevere until he became a Title Douluo.

"I'll trust you this once."

After much consideration, Dugu Bo decided to try it as Su Ming suggested.

"By the way, give this old man a soul stripping treatment; that will make his perception clearer."

Su Ming gave an OK sign.

This request was exactly what he wanted.

There was a communication gap between him and Dugu Bo. For example, Dugu Bo did not understand the inherent flaws of the Evil Martial Soul, and Su Ming had also struggled with this when he tried to explain it to him.

If you strip away the soul and let him watch his own toxins flow out from the interface he finds, then it will be natural to reach a consensus.

Dugu Bo prepared himself and began to absorb the toxins within his body.

Suddenly, he started convulsing again.

His body visibly became thinner, his blood and energy began to deplete, and he looked like he had collapsed instantly.

Su Ming nodded as he looked at Dugu Bo's current appearance.

This is what a true evil spirit master should be like!
