Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 22 A Title Douluo's Favor

Did Dugu Bo lose out?

In order to find out news that would come sooner or later, you did someone a favor?

No, no, no, Dugu Bo won't lose out.

After all, if they hadn't encountered Huo Lie today, their granddaughter Dugu Yan would have advanced to the third-ring Soul Master, missing out on the opportunity to obtain her third Soul Ring, which was beyond her age limit.

Furthermore, since he had already made the promise, there was no reason to take it back. As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo had to save face.

It's just a favor I owed; it's not worth him going back on his word.

"Your Majesty, consuming whale gelatin can improve a Soul Master's physical condition. The older the whale gelatin, the better the effect. With improved physical condition, one can naturally attach Soul Rings that are ten thousand years old or older."

Without hiding anything, Huo Lie revealed the actual effects of whale glue.

"Whale glue?"

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face.

Isn't this supposed to be something to enhance pleasure? How can it improve physical fitness?

After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo flashed to Huo Yun's side and grabbed his arm to examine him.

Huo Yun was startled when he saw Dugu Bo suddenly appear beside him, but he realized that Dugu Bo would not hurt him, so he did not resist.

After a moment, Dugu Bo released Huo Yun's arm and nodded to himself.

Huo Lie was right; he indeed found no signs of refining soul bones within Huo Yun's body.

However, Huo Yun, who had not refined his soul bone, was able to acquire a soul ring with an age limit exceeding the limit. Therefore, it is only true that consuming whale glue can improve a soul master's physical condition.

However, since it concerned the safety of his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Bo was not completely at ease. He flashed back to Mu Yang's side and grabbed his arm to examine it carefully.

"Huh? You're only eight years old?"

Upon noticing Mu Yang's bone age, Dugu Bo couldn't help but say in surprise.

As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo immediately saw through Mu Yang's level 20 quasi-Great Soul Master soul power.

Children must be six years old to awaken their martial soul. In other words, this red-haired brat has only been cultivating for a little over two years and he can already become a second-ring Great Soul Master?

Another person with innate full soul power has emerged on the mainland?

"Kid, what kind of martial soul have you awakened?"

Dugu Bo asked Mu Yang.

With innate full soul power, he is definitely worthy of being a titled Douluo, and deserves to be looked at differently by this titled Douluo.

"Senior, I have awakened a food-type martial soul."

As he spoke, a radiant glow of soul power emanated from Mu Yang's hand, and a yellowish-brown ginseng, over four inches long, quietly sprouted.

"A food-type martial soul? Tsk~, what a pity."

Dugu Bo shook his head with a hint of regret.

While a future food-type titled Douluo is certainly valuable, in Dugu Bo's view, compared to a high-level combat-type titled Douluo, he is undoubtedly still far inferior.

After all, there isn't a significant difference between a level 91 food-type titled Douluo and a level 95 or higher food-type titled Douluo. The only difference is that the level is higher, the soul power in the body is more durable, and more soul power food can be produced at once.

However, if it were a combat-type Title Douluo, the difference between level 91 and level 95 or above would be enormous.

To some extent, food-type soul masters who awaken innate full soul power are suspected of wasting their cultivation talent.

Mu Yang: "."

What a pity?

What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on food-type Soul Masters?

When I become a Title Douluo someday, I, Mu Yang, will challenge you, my senior, with my food-type martial soul!

Of course, Mu Yang only thought these words in his heart and dared not say them out loud, lest he be taught a lesson.

Although Dugu Bo felt somewhat sorry for Mu Yang, this investigation also further confirmed the role of whale glue.

Although Mu Yang looked pale and exhausted, his physical condition was far superior to that of an ordinary level 20 Soul Master, and not far from that of a level 30 Soul Master. He was able to withstand a second Soul Ring that was over a thousand years old.

Immediately, Dugu Bo turned to Huo Lie and said, "My promise remains valid. If you need anything in the future, just come to the Dugu Mansion in Tiandou City to find me."

"Your Majesty is too kind~"

Huo Lie cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Yanyan, let's go, we're not hunting souls today."

Nodding slightly, Dugu Bo turned and left with his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

Hunting for souls can wait until my precious granddaughter has consumed whale glue and her physical attributes have greatly improved before adding a soul ring of a higher age.

Even without a soul ring, a soul master's meditation and cultivation will not be in vain. The soul power cultivated will be hidden in the body, and after the soul ring is attached and the level is advanced, the accumulated soul power hidden in the body will be revealed.

Moreover, higher-year soul rings contain more energy than lower-year soul rings, and the increase in soul power after advancement will be greater. Delaying for a period of time will not have a negative impact on soul power cultivation.

"Phew~"

After Dugu Bo left, Huo Lie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was a close call, otherwise things would have turned out very badly.

But then again, it seems like I didn't lose out in this transaction?

Since the matter of whale glue could not be kept secret sooner or later, the academy had already made a pre-arranged plan. Although it was a little earlier than originally planned, it would not have a significant impact.

On the contrary, he gained a favor from Dugu Bo, which might come in handy someday.

Although Dugu Bo's strength is not among the best of the titled Douluo on the continent, he is still a titled Douluo-level powerhouse. Even if his strength is weak, he is not someone that an ordinary eight-ring Soul Douluo can mess with.

In the future, whether we invite Dugu Bo to lead the Soul Hunting team or face any crisis, we can ask Dugu Bo for help.

Not only Huo Lie felt this way, but Mu Yang felt the same way, even feeling like he had hit the jackpot.

As a transmigrator, Mu Yang certainly couldn't miss the many rare and precious herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. In the past, Mu Yang was worried about how to trick Dugu Bo into giving him these rare herbs, but now it seems that he can just use a favor to pay off the debt.

Anyway, Dugu Bo didn't know the true value of the immortal herbs. He would be more than willing to exchange the favor he owed for a few of the countless rare and precious herbs in his herb garden.

Well, to avoid feeling guilty, I'll tell Dugu Bo the method of using soul bones to store and alleviate the toxins in his body once I get my hands on some high-quality medicinal herbs.

When I finally develop the secret method for creating the Soul Core, I will pass it on to Dugu Bo as a way of repaying the kindness of the many immortal herbs he has given me.

There's a small problem: like Dugu Bo, he's illiterate when it comes to high-grade medicinal herbs. Even if you put a medicinal herb in front of him, he might not be able to recognize it, except for a few with very obvious characteristics.

How can I obtain information about immortal medicinal herbs from Tang San?

Tsk, let's forget about Tang Buddha.

Compared to seeking out Tang Buddha, Mu Yang felt that finding Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, an elder of the Spirit Hall who also recognized immortal herbs, was more reliable.

Of course, Yue Guan is a second choice; the most suitable option is still to ask Yang Wudi of the Po clan.

Knowledge of immortal herbs is not the foundation of the Breaking Clan's existence; it is something external. With the prestige of Blazing Fire Academy and sufficient compensation, this matter is not without hope.
