Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 44 The Old Poisoner vs. Chrysanthemum Hero

While Xiao Yi and the others were in the Soul Arena, in the Sunset Forest.

Our old master was contemplating his next move at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. After all, each level up after level 95 represents a deeper understanding of one's Martial Soul. At the Super Douluo level, each level up causes the Martial Soul to evolve. Super Douluos all have extremely profound understandings of their Martial Souls. This doesn't include Twin Martial Souls, which are propelled by Soul Ring energy.

"When was the last time I traveled the continent? It seems like it was decades ago. When I reached the Soul Emperor level, I was already suffering from snake venom and was in excruciating pain."

Xin'er is the same. I have been searching for an antidote for Xin'er and my daughter-in-law ever since, but it's a pity that we only found it now. If it had been a few years earlier, Yan Yan would have been without her parents' company.

Alas, I have become quite sentimental these days. My name is Poison Douluo, and the world reveres and fears me, but I also dislike talking to others.

I've always been all alone, but now that Yan Yan has found a boyfriend, I can finally relax. Xiao Yi is a reliable person to entrust my life to; all I can do now is protect them from the storms of life.

After reflecting on his life, Dugu Bo now travels across the mainland again, unsure where to begin.

"Hmm, let's go find Chrysanthemum Pass first. Back then, I was chased and beaten by him and Ghost Douluo, all I did was steal a few herbs from him, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

You've been dominating me for so many years, now we're both level 95, let's see who's stronger! After we beat up Chrysanthemum Pass, let's go to the beach.

Xiao Yi had said that whale glue could improve physical strength, but the quality of whale glue from Tiandou City was generally too low. It would be good to go to the beach this time and get some higher quality whale glue.

This is a good opportunity to improve Xiao Yi and Yan Yan's physical strength. When they return, they can take the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone to break through to the Soul King realm. They can also find some medicinal herbs to enhance their spiritual power. If they are lucky, they might even get two Soul Bones. Oh, speaking of Soul Bones, I think I still have a pair of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear palm bones. I forgot about them last time.

Dugu Bo finalized his plan and headed straight for the distance, but first he needed to take on Chrysanthemum Pass. (Chrysanthemum Pass: Danger!)

Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace

Just as Ju Douluo finished sending the documents, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if a snake was watching him.

"Huh? Old Chrysanthemum, what's wrong with you?" Ghost Douluo asked, looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo who was shivering.

"It's nothing, Old Ghost. I think I might not have slept well. Things might be a bit busy today. I'm going out for some fresh air. Old Ghost, you can handle His Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo, dressed in golden armor and a red robe, said as he walked out of the Papal Palace.

"Okay," Ghost Douluo nodded in agreement, then disappeared into the darkness to find Bibi Dong and report that his old partner wanted to get some fresh air.

Stepping out of the Papal Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked up at the azure sky and took a deep breath: "Phew—thankfully, that old devil is here to keep me company. What should I do? Let's go find that old poisoner and cause him some trouble. It's been a while since I beat him up."

Chrysanthemum Douluo flew directly out of Spirit City and headed into the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. Coincidentally, Dugu Bo was also heading in the same direction at the same time, and their routes were bound to collide. Perhaps it was a case of mutual respect between rivals.

Two days later, Dugu Bo and Ju Douluo Yueguan bumped into each other in a forest.

Dugu Bo's eyes, which had returned to normal, turned green again, as if a venomous snake was staring at its prey.

Moreover, Yue Guan, who was opposite him, initially felt that the middle-aged man with black beard and black hair looked somewhat familiar, until the middle-aged man's eyes turned green and he recognized him directly.

"Hey, you old poisoner, you dare show your face in front of me? Have you been itching for a beating since I've done it?"

As Yue Guan spoke, the aura of a level 95 Super Douluo emanated from his body. He still thought that Dugu Bo was the disgrace of the Title Douluo, but little did he know that Dugu Bo was no longer the same as before.

"Hmph, Chrysanthemum Pass, I was still thinking of going to the Spirit Hall to find you, but you've actually delivered yourself to my doorstep. Today, I'll turn your chrysanthemum into a rotten chrysanthemum," Dugu Bo said coldly.

"Pah! Don't you dare call me Chrysanthemum Guan! You old poisoner, you're asking for death!" Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately sprang to his senses. He hated being called Chrysanthemum Guan more than anything else, except for Old Ghost.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Essence!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo conjured a swift blade from the petals of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and slashed towards Dugu Bo.

"Hmph! What a charade! Fifth Soul Skill, Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent Shield!" Dugu Bo summoned the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent, which coiled its body and condensed a crimson energy shield, blocking the plant-shaped greatsword.

"What! Old Poison, when did you become level 95?!" Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't believe it. Two years ago, he had dealt with Old Poison and joined forces with Ghost Douluo to beat Dugu Bo to the brink of death.

If it weren't for that good-for-nothing Prince Xuexing passing by, and the fact that the young master was on a mission and couldn't make things too awkward, Dugu Bo might have been sent away.

"Hmph, none of your business!" Dugu Bo rushed forward to engage Chrysanthemum Douluo in close combat. Although his martial soul had evolved, it did not evolve in the direction of a dragon.

However, the benefits of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to him are immense. The defense and strength of his martial soul have been greatly increased, and now he can also control the earth attribute.

Dugu Bo can be considered the strongest snake-type Title Douluo on the continent at present, and he is now very eager to test how strong his close combat is.

Chrysanthemum Douluo happens to be a powerful attack type Super Douluo, and Dugu Bo wanted to test his power level.

Dugu Bo launched a heavy punch at Chrysanthemum Douluo, who blocked it with his Chrysanthemum Blade. Sensing the power of Dugu Bo's punch, Chrysanthemum Douluo thought to himself.

"This old poisoner's agility, speed, and strength have all greatly improved. What happened to him? Wasn't he deeply poisoned? How did the hidden danger of the poison disappear and his martial soul undergo such a mutation?"

His soul power has increased dramatically! Could it be the legendary Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which is said to be extremely effective against dragon-type martial souls?! This old poisoner is incredibly lucky!

The close combat between the two Super Douluo was so intense that it was impossible to see clearly, so Chrysanthemum Douluo retreated to create distance.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Golden Stamens Flowing with Rosy Clouds!"

The enormous Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in front of Ju Douluo emitted a dazzling golden light and shot towards Dugu Bo.

"Heh, the eighth soul skill, time freeze."

Dugu Bo directly used the mutated time freeze after his martial soul evolved. Originally, it could only slow down time, but now it can forcibly freeze a soul master of the same level for five seconds.

"Soul Bone Skill, Black Serpent Descends." After controlling Chrysanthemum Pass, Dugu Bo immediately released Black Mamba and began a mixed doubles attack.

At this moment, Ju Hua was filled with bitterness. He had just decided to fight Dugu Bo on a whim, but instead, he was completely outmatched by Dugu Bo. No one could have imagined that in such a short time, this old poisoner had not only been cured of his poison and evolved his martial soul, but also gained several more soul bones. Now, he was even summoning a soul beast to fight him in a mixed doubles.

Five seconds later, the time freeze ended, but Chrysanthemum Pass was now unable to retaliate against the mixed doubles attack.

But Juhua Guan didn't want to admit defeat, because he had always been the one beating Dugu Bo, and today he had actually turned the tables and utterly crushed him. If Lao Gui knew, he would definitely laugh himself to death.

This chapter was inspired by the Dragon Pattern Staff. I'm friends with the author of that book, and he agreed to let it run three chapters a day for now. I've already written half of the next chapter, but I don't know how to continue. I'll finish writing it and post it tomorrow morning.
