Douluo: Dream Overlord

When they returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it was nearly noon.

Shi Nian returned to her office to prepare teaching materials for her class, and after finishing her meal, she returned to her dormitory.

He closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and silently practiced meditation.

After an afternoon of honing his skills, his soul power level dropped to 45. Although the quantity of his soul power decreased slightly, the quality improved in return.

It was already dark by then, and he silently estimated the time.

With a thought, a clock appeared before his eyes.

This was created by Shi Guang using his spiritual power; it can be considered a small skill he possessed in utilizing spiritual power.

The hands on the clock will keep time according to the Douluo Continent standard time; it's already 6 PM.

Shiguang sat on the edge of the bed, took a candle from the bedside table, lit it, and then took the candle to the desk and sat down, taking out several books from the desk drawer.

Complete Herbal Remedies

The nature of toxicity and how to suppress it

Collection of Rare Treasures

I placed the candle in the upper left corner of the desk, and time seemed to observe the books.

The first two books were borrowed from the college library to learn about detoxification and identify basic herbs. The books were printed on paper and were still in good condition.

The last book was obtained by him through Shi Nian from the principal of Canghui Academy.

This book records various rare herbs and medicinal plants, but the descriptions and effects of some of these herbs are no longer verifiable due to the passage of time.

This book is very rare. The pages are made of special materials to prevent decay and rot, and the yellowed pages are full of traces of time.

In fact, these books are the foundation of a family's existence, and only family members can read and view them at designated times and places.

The fact that the principal gave him the book is enough to demonstrate his trust in and expectations of Shiguang.

Time turned the pages of several books and took out three notebooks from the desk. When the notebooks were opened, they revealed a dense collection of conjectures and interconnected information.

This is one of his hobbies during his studies. He likes to organize and record the knowledge he learns in his notes and write down his thoughts at the time in detail.

"If my guess is correct, the venom of the Dugu Yan Bilin snake should come from cellular mutation."

Time murmured, "The essence of poison attribute is that the martial soul affects the cells in the human body, causing them to mutate into energy filled with poison attribute."

As a Soul Master cultivates, cells undergo more mutations and generate more energy. After this energy is released using Soul Skills, the cell reproduction effect in the human body will become faster.

Ultimately, when all the cells in the human body are mutated, the Soul Master can only rely on Soul Power to suppress the mutated cells in the body, otherwise the immune system will collapse and he will die.

Ultimately, due to constant contact with mutated cells, the soul power became irreversibly tainted with the aura of poison, and the only way to alleviate the harm caused by the toxins was through detoxification.

Therefore, Soul Masters with poison-attribute Martial Souls tend to have short lifespans. This is because they not only overdraw their physical strength to cultivate Soul Power, but also expend Soul Power to suppress the toxins.

Shi Guang pondered, "The reason Tang San was able to attract Dugu Bo's attention was because he used the Eight Spider Spears to absorb Dugu Yan's poison."

Then, they used the herbs from the Treasure Basin and the terrain of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to suppress Dugu Bo's poison, but this was only a temporary fix.

The real solution to the toxin problem was to compress the toxicity within the soul bone.

Now that I have the Eight Spider Lances, I can follow Tang San's path step by step...

"But compared to Tang San's outsider status, my status is more reasonable, and I might miss the opportunity to be fed his natal snake core by Dugu Bo."

As time went by, Dugu Bo's natal snake core, which served as the core he condensed to reach the Title Douluo level, contained half of his Title Douluo soul power.

The snake pill also has the effect of accelerating cultivation. With the help of the snake pill, Tang San's soul power is advancing by leaps and bounds.

Suddenly, Time summoned a gemstone martial spirit. The crystal-clear gemstone floated and spun slightly in his hand, with specks of light shining around it.

"If my boldest guess is correct, as long as the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent is injected into another container without affecting the Soul Master's own cells, the venom will no longer exist in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Master's body as the cells metabolize."

This container needs to have strong adaptability and capacity to contain the poison and allow it to escape from the Soul Master's cells.

It must also have a physical form; it cannot be a purely projection-like product like a spirit ring.

The best way is with a soul bone, but what about a martial soul?

Shi Guang thought excitedly, "My Gemstone Martial Soul is a special Martial Soul. Because it has no attribute, it does not reject any attribute and has a strong inclusiveness!"

If my gem martial soul can withstand the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent, then I can use the gem to contain the venom of Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor!

Dugu Bo, having cultivated for several years as a Title Douluo, possesses incredibly potent toxicity. If I were to inject this pure toxicity into my Gem Martial Soul...

"Then my martial soul might mutate!"

Thinking of this, Shi Guang couldn't wait to try out Dugu Yan's theory.

But it was too late, and he wasn't that familiar with Dugu Yan, so it would be difficult for him to be alone with her. What reason could he use to persuade her?

Time pondered and wrote his thoughts in a notebook, then stored them in his storage ring.

After such a long period of study, his knowledge of herbs has gone from complete ignorance to a basic understanding, and he has memorized all the herbs.

This is also an advantage of being a spirit-type soul master. Time can use spiritual power to imprint real-world text into the spiritual world and then view it slowly, or it can be accessed at any time.

He was already prepared to go to the Treasure Basin to "harvest" the immortal herbs, and was just waiting for an opportunity to contact Dugu Yan.

After finishing his meal, Shi Guang continued meditating to compress his soul power.

Silent all night.

The next morning.

Time arrived at the playground a little earlier than scheduled, as always, and greeted Ye Lingling on the playground.

Ye Lingling nodded to him; only this aloof young woman could arrive before time itself.

While waiting, Shiguang idly hummed a tune, watching the students running and exercising on the playground. Ye Lingling observed him closely and suddenly said:

"You've reached the Soul Master level now?"

"Not bad, you have a pretty sharp eye."

Shi Guang was somewhat surprised that this girl, who had not yet broken through to the Soul Venerable realm, could sense his soul power. This perception ability that spanned two realms was simply incredible!

"My Nine-Heart Begonia allows me to sense the aura of a Soul Master."

Ye Lingling rarely explained, "I can sense that your aura is much stronger than Yu Tianheng's. He is about to break through to the Soul Venerable level, so your strength must be at the Soul Sect level."

"Who broke through to the Soul Master level!?"

A voice suddenly rang out, filled with disbelief.

Shi Guang and Ye Lingling looked over and saw that it was Yu Tianheng. His face no longer held its usual arrogance; instead, he looked at Shi Guang with surprise and asked:

"Dude! You've reached the Soul Master level!?"
