Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 173 Visiting Dugu Bo (Part 1)

With the qualifiers concluded, the qualifying rounds will begin in January, giving the five teams that qualified for the qualifying rounds a full month to adjust and train.

The next morning, Mu Yang took Shui Bing'er to the Dugu residence to visit Dugu Bo.

As early as yesterday after the preliminary rounds ended, Mu Yang had mentioned to Dugu Bo that he would be visiting today, so it wasn't exactly unexpected.

"Mu Yang, what kind of relationship do you have with Bi Lin Douluo?"

On the way to the Dugu residence, Shui Bing'er asked Mu Yang with some curiosity.

Dugu Bo's title is a bit special; "Poison" is his official title.

However, given that the title "Poison" inevitably carries a derogatory connotation, most people address Dugu Bo respectfully as "Azure Phosphorus."

"He's our great benefactor!"

Looking around, Mu Yang transmitted his voice.

"Our great benefactor?"

Shui Bing'er blinked, somewhat confused.

"I can't go into details, but just consider him our benefactor. In the future, if there's anything we can do to help, we'll do our best."

Mu Yang didn't say much. He knew and remembered the kindness of Grandpa Xiancao himself, and there was no need to tell Shui Bing'er, who didn't know.

Even without celestial herbs, he would still have a bright future, but celestial herbs would undoubtedly greatly accelerate his journey to becoming a powerful figure.

In addition, although he had good talent for cultivation, his improvement after consuming immortal herbs was not significant. However, for Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, immortal herbs were of paramount importance.

Without the help of the divine herbs, Shui Bing'er and the others would have been far ahead of him in terms of level.

Of course, there is a limit to the quality of divine herbs. The fact that all seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils became gods cannot be entirely attributed to divine herbs.

The reason why Tang Buddha was able to become a god is because he took the protagonist template and indeed had the potential to become a god.

Xiao Wu was able to become a god because the Asura God King took a liking to Tang San as his successor; he was essentially just an accessory.

Orcas is a food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power, likely the first of its kind in the history of the continent, and is favored by the God of Food.

Like Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong benefited from Oscar's influence. When the God of Cookery passed his position to Oscar, his wife, the Nine-Colored Goddess, also passed it on to Ning Rongrong.

As for the remaining three: Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun.

In Mu Yang's opinion, these three people had all risen to prominence.

Without Tang San achieving the status of Sea God and coexisting with the Asura God with Xiao Wu's assistance, Dai Mubai and the other two would likely have no hope of becoming gods even if they consumed celestial herbs.

After all, before Qian Renxue, the continent had only produced two deities in the past ten thousand years: an angel and a sea god.

In such a long period of time, countless genius soul masters have emerged in the soul master world of the mainland. Even if they had consumed immortal herbs, in terms of cultivation talent alone, most of the three of them would not have ranked among the top. Their achievement of becoming titled Douluo in their twenties was entirely due to Tang San carrying them.

The reason he was able to obtain a godhood was because the previous gods gave him face by inheriting the dual godhood of the Sea God and the Asura God.

Oh~

Although she didn't understand, Shui Bing'er nodded nonetheless.

Before long, the two arrived outside the Dugu residence.

Just as they arrived outside the Dugu residence, before the two of them could even approach, Mu Yang saw a slightly thin figure walk out of the gate of the Dugu residence. It was none other than Dugu Bo.

Logically speaking, when a junior comes to visit, Dugu Bo, as an elder, doesn't need to come out to greet him, not to mention that the two of them are still far from being a nine-ring titled Douluo.

However, the talent displayed by Mu Yang and the other two was enough to make Dugu Bo set aside his seniority.

Upon noticing their arrival, Dugu Bo went out to greet Mu Yang. This was because Mu Yang was destined to become a food-type Title Douluo and possessed a food-based soul skill capable of detoxifying. In the future, he and his granddaughter Dugu Yan would need Mu Yang's help to resolve the issue of snake venom backlash.

As for Shui Bing'er, she is already close to becoming a six-ring Soul Emperor at such a young age. Such talent is unmatched even by those with innate full soul power. As long as she doesn't die prematurely, she will definitely become one of the strongest people on the continent in the future. She deserves to be treated with respect by him, a nine-ring Title Douluo.

"Greetings, senior."

Mu Yang and the other person bowed.

"Haha, no need for formalities. Aren't you busy with your girlfriend? What brings you here to this old man?"

Dugu Bo teased Mu Yang.

"Senior, I've come to visit you with a gift!"

After a pause, Mu Yang continued, "I guarantee you'll like this gift."

"A gift?"

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned strange.

Logically speaking, Mu Yang doesn't owe him anything. On the contrary, if he needs Mu Yang's help in the future, shouldn't he be the one giving gifts? Why is it the other way around?

So here's the question: why should Mu Yang give him a gift?

Because he's a Title Douluo?

It shouldn't be. Blazing Fire Academy must have had some incredible luck, producing two Title Douluos in recent years, both of whom are relatives of this kid. Even Heavenly Water Academy produced a Title Douluo, who is also closely related to this kid, being a relative of his girlfriend.

Dugu Bo was self-aware; he knew his own limitations.

Although he has been a Title Douluo for many years, his soul power level is not high, his soul ring configuration is not ideal, and he is not good at one-on-one combat. He cannot guarantee a win against any of these three Title Douluos, he would definitely lose against two, and he would probably not even have a chance to escape against three.

It is obvious that Mu Yang's visit to deliver gifts was not because he was a Title Douluo.

After all, if Huo Lie and the other two couldn't solve a problem, Dugu Bo was equally powerless to help.

However, Dugu Bo was an optimistic person. Since he couldn't figure out Mu Yang's thoughts, he didn't think too much about it and warmly led Mu Yang and the other person into the mansion.

Inside the hall, Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er sipped their tea, while Dugu Bo stared intently at the "Soul Core Secret Technique" in his hands.

After a long while, and after briefly flipping through it, Dugu Bo put down the "Soul Core Secret Technique" in his hand.

"Kid, is this secret technique really that miraculous?"

Rubbing his temples to suppress his shock, Dugu Bo asked with a solemn expression.

Mu Yang nodded: "Of course, my aunt and Bing'er's aunt both broke through to level 90 by condensing their soul cores."

"No wonder, I was wondering why there were so many Title Douluos all of a sudden."

Dugu Bo suddenly realized.

Dugu Bo was not without curiosity and puzzlement that Huo Lie, Mu Xiyue, and Shui Yanyu had all become Title Douluos in just a few years.

After all, reaching the Title Douluo realm is not easy. Taking the Elemental Academy as an example, it is normal not to have a Title Douluo in charge. It is already good if the tenth dean can produce one or two Title Douluos.
