Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 163 Dugu Bo Condenses His Soul Core

Because of that humiliating defeat, the five academies also put aside their arrogance, set aside their prejudices, and began to take this exchange with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy seriously.

Cultivation, sparring, exchanges, team battles—everything proceeded smoothly under Qin Ming's arrangement.

Lin Yang only made an appearance a few days ago, and has basically disappeared since.

I only visit the college occasionally when I have free time.

Simply engaging in combat is no longer of much meaning to him. Rather than wasting time at the academy, he would rather use it to cultivate or research potions.

News has already come from Dugu Bo's side.

He has already made progress on the matter of condensing the soul core and hopes that Lin Yang can concoct a potion that can enhance the ultimate poison.

Lin Yang readily agreed to this.

Now, Dugu Bo and he are already bound together; their fates are intertwined, one prospers and the other suffers.

The stronger Dugu Bo becomes before he gains sufficient power, the more secure he will feel.

As time passed day by day, the deadline for the exchange officially began to count down.

Overall, the exchange went very smoothly, and both sides gained a lot.

However, the only one who was unhappy was probably Huo Wu.

During this time, she encountered a formidable rival, the dead rabbit named "Xiao Wu".

Because of their similar names, the two didn't get along at first.

After one match, she was completely devastated by the defeat.

Even her "little brothers" started calling that dead rabbit "Sister Xiaowu".

This is an utter disgrace.

During this period, she practiced diligently and even mastered a new move.

I was hoping to save face, but I ended up getting a thorough lesson.

No wonder she's unhappy.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yang, the captain of Team Tiandou, did not appear on the last day of the exchange program.

No one even knows where he is.

Although Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and the others did not say it aloud, a sense of regret was hidden in their eyes.

Left with no other choice, they could only ask Dugu Yan and others to convey their message that Lin Yang must visit their academy if he has the chance.

At the same time, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

In a cave far from the medicinal herb garden.

With a solemn expression, Lin Yang handed the vial of medicine to Dugu Bo.

The medicine bottle is semi-transparent, and the liquid flowing inside is a pure, snow-white color.

This is the essence he extracted from the Snow Swan Kiss; there are two in total, and this is one of them.

He had originally considered suppressing the medicinal properties of the Snow Swan Kiss, but later realized that he had underestimated this celestial plant.

Its domineering nature far exceeded expectations; any herb that came into contact with it would instantly turn into a poisonous plant.

While the medicinal properties cannot be suppressed, Lin Yang can dilute them.

To achieve this, he destroyed no fewer than dozens of clones, ultimately refining only these two potions.

One of them was for Dugu Bo, and the other was naturally reserved for Dugu Yan.

After receiving the medicine, Dugu Bo took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

He didn't say much; the relationship between the two had long since transcended the need for extra formalities.

"Protect me."

Lin Yang got up and sat outside the cave.

Dugu Bo held the potion up to his face and gently applied pressure with his thumb, instantly shattering the sealed bottle.

A very faint fragrance wafted out from the gap.

Dugu Bo tilted his head back and drank the medicine in one gulp.

At first, nothing seemed amiss, but just three breaths later, a loud "Ugh—!"

A muffled groan escaped from deep within his throat, and a layer of dark green lines suddenly appeared on the surface of his skin.

Then he suddenly tilted his head back and spewed out a mouthful of black poisonous mist.

The poisonous fog landed on the ground, instantly corroding a deep pit and hissing.

Lin Yang's gaze was fixed on Dugu Bo, his palms already sweating.

If this step succeeds, Dugu Bo will no longer be an ordinary Title Douluo.

His poison will become a terrifying substance that the vast majority of titled Douluo would rather not touch.

If he fails, Lin Yang is prepared to use the ghost blood to save him.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

For three whole days, Lin Yang stood motionless at the cave entrance.

Dugu Bo's condition gradually returned to calm, and even the dark green patterns on his body surface faded considerably.

Three days later, Dugu Bo's hair was snow-white, making him look like an ordinary old man.

Even the aura emanating from him was no longer that cold and vicious feeling, but rather an unfathomable depth that was so restrained that it made people even more uneasy.

Finally, Dugu Bo opened his eyes.

His originally deep green eyes were now surrounded by a snow-white ring, making them appear cold and distant.

He looked down at his hands and slowly clenched his fists.

"It's done!"

His voice was a little hoarse, but it couldn't hide the suppressed ecstasy.

His cultivation level naturally broke through to level 94 after condensing his soul core, just one level away from that rotten chrysanthemum.

Moreover, with his ultimate poison, he wouldn't be afraid of him if a fight broke out.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Lin Yang's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Elder Poison, on your further advancement in cultivation."

"Ha ha!"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily, stood up, and slapped Lin Yang on the shoulder. "This is all thanks to you, kid. Ever since you came, I feel like good things just keep happening."

Lin Yang chuckled lightly, then said in a deep voice, "Elder Poison, could you tell me how you balance the Pill Pearl and the Soul Core?"

"balance?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo gave him a strange look.

Why do we need balance?

Lin Yang was slightly taken aback.

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his tone casual yet revealing a touch of shrewdness: "Although you said that the Danzhu can be regarded as a pseudo-soul core, a fake is still a fake. Compared with a real soul core, it is still lacking."

"That old poison master..."

"Just experience it for yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, Dugu Bo had already released his protective soul power, leaving his body wide open.

His ability to do this demonstrates his trust in Lin Yang.

Lin Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't refuse, saying, "Elder Poison Master, my apologies."

He raised his hand, gently placing his palm on Dugu Bo's chest, and a wisp of soul power probed into his body.

As soon as he entered, Lin Yang clearly sensed the newly condensed soul core.

It sits deep within the dantian, its entire body dark green, exuding an aura of extreme restraint that is breathtaking.

However, when he saw the state of the Soul Core and the Pill Pearl, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This was because the cinnabar bead was slowly rotating around the soul core.

Isotopic resonance dual-soul core?

No, that's not right!

Lin Yang shook his head secretly.

The two soul cores of the co-resonant dual soul cores check and balance each other, and attract each other.

The center was changed from one center to two centers in order to condense and compress more soul power.

But the one in front of me is completely different.

Danzhu did not stand up to the Soul Core, but instead became its complete vassal.

It did not merge with the soul core, but rather attached itself to the soul core's force field in a clever way, each occupying its own place and not interfering with the other.

It looks just like... the Earth and the Moon.

"I see!"

A flash of understanding crossed Lin Yang's eyes, and he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Do you understand now?" Dugu Bo said in a deep voice, "Whether it's a pill or a soul core, achieving just one is already a stroke of luck. Trying to achieve a balance is unreliable."

"So I simply don't overthink it and focus on the Soul Core as the primary focus, with the Pill Pearl as secondary. That should be stable enough."
