Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 139 Breakthrough

Lin Yang took in the unpredictable expression on Dugu Bo's face.

He could roughly guess what the old poison master was thinking.

Extreme poison... it's not entirely impossible.

You should know that the Snow-White Swan Kiss plant is still growing in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The Snow-White Swan's Kiss herb is extremely special. It has no toxins of its own, but it is known as the "highly poisonous herb".

It is because it can amplify toxins hundreds or thousands of times, so even a tiny bit of poison can become highly toxic under its influence.

In theory, as long as the old poisoner ingests the Snow Swan Kiss, it can become the ultimate poison.

The problem is, no one can withstand that terrifying toxin.

However, if one could condense a soul core with a poison attribute and simultaneously control the effects of the Snow Swan's Kiss, a two-pronged approach might be possible.

Of course, Dugu Bo himself possessed the Danzhu.

But a pill is a pill, and it is ultimately different from a soul core, and its effects are also weaker than those of a soul core.

Trying to use a pill to contain the ultimate poison is tantamount to courting death.

Lin Yang didn't say these things aloud.

It's not that I don't trust him, but I'm afraid he'll be too eager for quick success and instant benefits.

The Soul Core Technique became commonplace in later generations, but no one had tried it in this era. To attempt it rashly would only lead to regret later.

After awakening the ultimate gold form of his Nichirin Blade martial soul, Lin Yang could clearly feel that his cultivation speed had slowed down considerably, but it was still within an acceptable range.

After all, his Sun Breathing technique operates continuously every day, and little by little, it accumulates into a very considerable amount.

In his spare time, he spent more time thinking about how to integrate his complex attributes into the sword form to enhance his attack methods.

Meanwhile, Little Rabbit, Swallow, and Ye Lengleng were not lagging behind, and their cultivation progress was steadily improving.

And just like that, a year and a half passed quietly.

A year and a half later, of the three girls beside Lin Yang, Little Rabbit was the first to break through level 50, and she was only twelve years old this year.

Compared to her original soul power of level 29 at the age of twelve, the little rabbit's progress is remarkable.

Although to a large extent, it was all forced upon them by Lin Yang.

A month later, not to be outdone, Dugu Yan also broke through level 50.

Ye Lengleng, on the other hand, started a little slower and is only at level 48 now, but she is still steadily moving forward.

Lin Yang himself was at level fifty-five.

This speed is much slower than before, but it's still very fast compared to a typical Soul King.

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

As Qin Ming watched Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan break through one after another, even with his strong constitution, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

There are always oddballs every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.

If Lin Yang is included, the entire Heaven Dou Team currently has three Soul Kings.

It was a foregone conclusion that Ye Lengleng would break through to the fifth ring before the Martial Soul Elite Tournament.

At that time, the Heavenly Dou Team will have four Soul Kings.

Even the Spirit Hall couldn't possibly put together a more impressive lineup for the competition.

He could even imagine the utter silence that would follow when the group appeared at the competition venue.

If it weren't for his image as a "role model for teachers," he would probably want to shout right now, "Who else?!"

After learning that Lin Yang was planning to take Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for spirit rings, Qin Ming only hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is Lingling going or not?"

Qin Ming knew that the relationship between the group was extraordinary, and Ye Lengleng would likely accompany them on their journey to find a soul ring for Dugu Yan.

However, this would change his original plan to take Graphite and the others to the Great Soul Arena for practical training.

After all, with Leng Leng's assistance, he felt more confident in letting his students go up into the arena to challenge.

In fact, Oslo and his team have made considerable progress in the past year or so.

With so many monsters around them, Oslo and the others were naturally under immense pressure. They didn't even dare to lie down and started to curl up.

Pressure can be a source of motivation.

Currently, both Shi brothers are at level 39 Soul Masters, not far from becoming Soul Grandmasters.

Oslo and Yufeng were slightly inferior, but they still had level 38 soul power.

If Qin Ming's training plan is followed, not everyone will reach the Soul Master level, but at least the Shi brothers will definitely be able to do so without any problems.

Lin Yang relayed Qin Ming's meaning to Ye Lingling.

After careful consideration, Ye Lengleng ultimately decided to stay at the academy.

Although she also wanted to stay by Lin Yang's side, she wouldn't be of much use in this Soul Hunting expedition.

It would be better to stay at the academy and help Teacher Qin, and also get some practice at the Great Soul Arena.

Lin Yang didn't say much about it.

After a quick packing, the three of them embarked on their journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, before setting off, Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu were at odds.

Originally, Dugu Yan wanted to take this opportunity to enjoy some time alone with Lin Yang, and perhaps even have a chance to win.

She's already nineteen; if she doesn't give herself away soon, she'll be an old maid.

As it turned out, this silly rabbit ruined her plans and insisted on coming along.

He already has his fifth spirit ring.

Isn't this targeting her?

"You damn rabbit," Dugu Yan said through gritted teeth, lowering her voice, "Are you determined to go against me?"

"Old woman," the little rabbit scoffed. "I don't understand what you're saying. I'm here to visit my former teacher."

"Hmph, a school that can produce someone like you must not be a good one," Dugu Yan sneered inwardly.

"That's still better than you!"

Just as the two were about to make their move, Lin Yang coughed lightly, "It's time to go!"

"snort!"

Dugu Yan swung her hips and strode directly toward the carriage.

The little rabbit, of course, dared not be outdone, and teleported ahead to sit inside the carriage.

Dugu Yan was naturally furious.

Lin Yang sighed inwardly, realizing that this journey would likely be anything but peaceful.

Because the soul hunt wasn't urgent, the three of them basically traveled and played around, taking half a month to reach Soto City.

Then the little rabbit very proudly led Dugu Yan to the courtyard where she and Lin Yang used to live.

Although it hadn't been cleaned for a long time and was covered in a layer of dust, it didn't bother Xiao Wu at all.

With a swirling of soul power, the entire room became clean.

"Hmph, I'm going to stay at a hotel!"

Dugu Yan glared at Xiao Wu fiercely, then turned and left.

Lin Yang gave the little rabbit a "warning" look, then reached out and pulled Dugu Yan: "You can stay in my room tonight, I'll stay in the living room."

Dugu Yan's expression softened slightly.

She knew that Lin Yang had known the silly rabbit longer than she had, and she no longer hoped to get rid of him.

But Lin Yang absolutely cannot show favoritism; that's the bottom line.

"I need to go out for a bit, who's going with me?" Lin Yang asked.

"I'm not going. Call me when it's time to eat."

Dugu Yan waved her hand and swayed her hips as she walked into Lin Yang's room.

With a "click," the door slammed shut, and she collapsed onto the bed.

"snort!"

The little rabbit rolled its eyes at Lin Yang and then went back to its room as well.

"These two ladies are so difficult to please!"

Lin Yang muttered to himself, then suddenly thought of Ye Lengling.

It's better to be aloof, without competing or fighting.
