Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 16: Proposing to Dugu Yan by Dugu Bo

Lin Yizhang was also somewhat excited about the upcoming meeting with the top experts of this continent.

Although it is said that Dugu Bo is only the lowest among the titled Douluo.

However, in this Douluo Continent, how many people can actually break through to the Title Douluo level?

The strength of a Title Douluo represents a qualitative leap compared to that of a Soul Douluo.

Even the weakest Title Douluo could easily defeat a Soul Douluo who was about to break through to the Title Douluo level.

Don't argue that Yang Wudi of the Broken Clan could defeat a Title Douluo as a Soul Douluo. That's just a phenomenon that occurred when the Title Douluo didn't go all out.

The Soul-Breaking Spear has strong attack power, but that's all it is – outstanding attack power.

Without using his ninth soul skill, Yang Wudi could indeed fight a Title Douluo.

However, if a Title Douluo were to unleash his strongest ninth soul skill, Yang Wudi would be severely injured, if not killed. His attack power would be utterly useless.

However, releasing the ninth soul skill consumes a large amount of a titled Douluo's soul power, so it is not usually used lightly.

The next morning, Lin Yizhang and Ye Lingling arrived at the gate of Dugu Yan's mansion.

As a guest minister of the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Bo also had a mansion in Heaven Dou City.

Lin Yizhang knocked on the door, and soon a butler came out.

Upon seeing Ye Lingling, they immediately invited the two inside.

It is clear that this housekeeper knew that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were good friends.

Lin Yizhang and Ye Lingling entered the house and saw Dugu Yan and a tall, thin man who looked like a javelin.

His beard and hair were dark green, and his eyes shone like emeralds.

His facial expression was stiff, his cheeks were sunken, and his green hair was messy.

An elderly man wearing a simple gray robe was eating breakfast.

When Dugu Yan saw the two arrive, she quickly invited them to sit down and have breakfast together.

Lin Yizhang and Ye Lingling did not refuse, and the four of them sat down together for breakfast.

No one spoke during breakfast.

After the meal, the housekeeper came up and cleared away the dishes and utensils. Then, Dugu Bo asked, "Yanyan, are you coming along too?"

Dugu Yan said, "Yes, Grandpa, I'll go too. It's been a long time since I've fought against soul beasts. This time I want to find a few hundred-year-old soul beasts to practice on."

Lin Yizhang casually remarked, "Lingling is my girlfriend, and I plan to go with her."

"Ah, Yizhang, Lingling, when did you become my girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me when we were having dinner yesterday?" Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, her voice sounding a little hoarse.

Ye Lingling turned her head away shyly, avoiding looking at Dugu Yan. Lin Yizhang said, "I confessed my feelings to Lingling last night, and she agreed to be my girlfriend."

"Oh, is that so? Well then, best wishes to you all," Dugu Yan said with a somewhat forced smile.

Looking at his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Bo realized that she probably liked the boy in front of her too.

Looks like we need to teach this kid a lesson for daring to flirt with my Yanyan.

Thinking that his precious granddaughter might burst into tears if he didn't speak up, Dugu Bo immediately said, "Now that everything is ready, let's set off."

Lin Yizhang felt this was the best time for him to connect with Dugu Bo.

He immediately stood up and said to Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately, about Sister Yan. Is that alright?"

Dugu Yan asked, "Yi Zhang, what do you want to tell my grandfather, especially since it's about me?"

Lin Yizhang said, "Sister Yan, I'll tell you later."

Dugu Bo said calmly, "Come with me," and then got up and walked towards the door. Lin Yizhang quickly followed.

Upon entering a guest room, Lin Yizhang was immediately greeted by the door closing automatically.

Then, without anyone noticing, Dugu Bo had placed his hand on his shoulder.

A hint of surprise flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He withdrew his hand, turned around, and sat down in the chair.

Just as Lin Yizhang was about to speak, he suddenly felt a powerful pressure from soul force.

The oppressive force came suddenly, causing him to stumble and almost fall.

Fortunately, I am physically strong, which is why I didn't collapse.

Dugu Bo was also surprised to see that Lin Yizhang had not been crushed. He had applied level 30 soul power pressure, but the kid was still unharmed.

It should be noted that when enduring the pressure of soul power released by a high-level soul master, reaching two-thirds of one's own soul power level is already the limit.

Dugu Bo was very frustrated. In his mind, the kid in front of him should have been crushed to the ground.

Then the kid begged for mercy, so he gave him a little lesson and let him go, after all, he had to give his granddaughter an explanation.

Dugu Bo directly increased the pressure of his soul power, level 31, level 32... until level 37, when Lin Yizhang finally released his original martial soul.

Seeing Lin Yizhang act as if nothing had happened after releasing his martial spirit, Dugu Bo felt a little embarrassed.

I, a titled Douluo, couldn't even defeat a Grand Soul Master in half a day?

Dugu Bo immediately released his level 45 soul power pressure, intending to crush Lin Yizhang in one fell swoop.

Just as this terrifying soul power pressure was about to fall on Lin Yizhang, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades Martial Soul within his body automatically appeared to protect its master.

Even with the boost from two martial souls, Lin Yizhang was not directly overwhelmed and continued to persevere.

Dugu Bo was also surprised to see another martial spirit suddenly appear beside Lin Yizhang, and immediately withdrew his soul power pressure.

He flashed in front of Lin Yizhang and said, "Kid, what's your name? Do you have twin martial souls?"

Lin Yizhang first bowed, then said, "Junior Lin Yizhang, as you can see, this sword is my first martial soul, it is called the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, and my second martial soul is my physical body."

Dugu Bo noticed two yellow, century-old spirit rings on Lin Yizhang's body, while the Demon Blade Thousand Blades had no spirit rings attached. He asked, "Can you use your two spirits simultaneously?"

Lin Yizhang nodded and said, "That's definitely possible."

"Did you teach Yan Yan that new meditation method and that self-created Rasengan soul skill?" Dugu Bo asked again.

Seeing Lin Yizhang nod, Dugu Bo asked again, "Why did you lie to Yanyan and say you were 14 years old?"

Lin Yizhang replied, "Apart from Lingling, I have never revealed my real age to anyone else. I did not intentionally hide it; I just wanted to conceal my strength."

I am a commoner genius, without the protection of any powerful force. I fear being targeted by such forces, which is why I concealed my true age.

"What do you have to say about Yanyan?" Dugu Bo asked, sitting back down in his chair.

Lin Yizhang said directly, "Senior Dugu, I would like to ask for your permission to pursue Sister Yan."

If someone else had said those words, they would have faced a lot of difficulties, and it's even uncertain whether they would have survived.

However, Dugu Bo knew that Dugu Yan had feelings for Lin Yizhang, and that Lin Yizhang's talent was exceptional. He was level 24 at the age of 9, and he would definitely become a Soul Master at the age of 11.

Dugu Bo said, "Tell me about your background first."

Lin Yizhang replied, "My home is in the Holy Soul Village, near Notting City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dou Empire, on the border between the two great empires."

My parents were ordinary people, and they passed away when I was four years old.

I am currently a free Soul Master and have not joined any faction.

The Spirit Hall steward who helped me awaken my spirit didn't discover my original spirit.

Furthermore, they believed my Demon Blade Thousand Blades martial soul was a useless martial soul and probably didn't report my information.

I didn't register my Soul Master status with the Spirit Hall, for fear of causing trouble.

Dugu Bo thought to himself, "I don't know if it's good or bad to let Yan Yan follow a commoner genius with no background."

He also planned to marry the heir of the Nine Heart Begonia family. After sighing inwardly, he said, "Didn't you just say that Lingling was your girlfriend?"

"Senior Dugu, I like both Lingling and Yanyan. They hold the same place in my heart."

"I swear on my martial spirit that I will protect Yan Yan with my life. I hope Senior Dugu will grant my request." Lin Yizhang was overjoyed to see that Dugu Bo did not refuse directly, and quickly said.

"Even if I agree, you still need Yan Yan's consent. If Yan Yan is unwilling, I won't agree," Dugu Bo said calmly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I believe Yanyan will agree to marry me." Lin Yizhang patted his chest happily and assured him, shamelessly calling him grandpa directly.

Lin Yizhang was filled with a sense of accomplishment. He had proposed to Dugu Bo's beloved granddaughter while he had a girlfriend, and he had succeeded. How could he not be excited?

Before this, Lin Yizhang wasn't really confident that he could get Dugu Bo to agree.

Because of the talent of twin martial souls, only Bibi Dong managed to cultivate it to perfection; the others all died from their bodies exploding.

Moreover, few people knew that Bibi Dong possessed twin martial souls, not even Sword Douluo knew. Therefore, Dugu Bo's agreement to his request was not solely due to his talent.

Lin Yizhang thought that perhaps Dugu Bo felt that he might be killed by the backlash of his martial spirit at any time, and wanted to find someone to rely on for Dugu Yan as soon as possible.

Dugu Bo knew that Dugu Yan had also been poisoned.

Considering that Dugu Yan might die before Lin Yizhang reaches the Title Douluo level and adds a soul ring to his second martial soul.

Therefore, whether or not he would explode and die was not that important to Dugu Bo.

"Well, it's good that you're confident. Then make a martial soul oath in front of me," Dugu Bo said.

Gods exist in this world. After cultivating to the level of a Title Douluo, a Soul Master can also comprehend some of the rules of the universe.

Therefore, Dugu Bo knew that the Martial Soul Oath was truly effective, and not just empty talk.

It's confirmed: Dugu Bo was looking for someone for Dugu Yan to rely on.

However, Lin Yizhang was not unwilling at all; he would protect his woman with his life.

He immediately made a martial soul oath in front of Dugu Bo, and from then on, he and Dugu Bo were family.

After Lin Yizhang transmigrated into the body of an orphan, he especially missed the feeling of having family by his side. Now, looking at Dugu Bo, he felt even more affection for him.
