Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 93 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

With Qian Renxue's guidance, it was naturally no problem for Su Mo and Ning Rongrong to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Su Mo, Ning Rongrong, it's actually you two!"

"Haha, it's wonderful that you two can join Heavenly Dou!"

The three education committee members from Zhilin were extremely welcoming to Su Mo and Ning Rongrong.

Thus, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong successfully entered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

However, Su Mo was not in a hurry to join the Heavenly Dou Royal Team. Instead, he planned to wait until he broke through level 30 before making a decision.

So for the next two and a half months, Su Mo spent his time either accompanying Ning Rongrong to enjoy academy life at Tiandou Academy or hunting spirit beasts to devour and level up.

hum-

On this day, after devouring a soul beast with a thousand years of cultivation, Su Mo's cultivation finally broke through to level 30. He only needs to absorb a soul ring to officially become a Soul Venerable.

"Sister Rakshasa, I've reached level 30!"

"What do you think is the limit of what my third spirit ring can withstand?"

After breaking through, Su Mo immediately called out to Bibi Dong and began to inquire.

Ever since the day she realized that she had come to regard Bibi Dong as her close friend and teacher, Su Mo started calling her Sister Luo Sha.

The goddess sister was too obsequious, so Su Mo decided to call her Rakshasa sister instead.

Bibi Dong had no objection to this and was quite happy because she truly felt that Su Mo was showing her some respect.

"I've been keeping an eye on your situation!"

"If you had cultivated normally to level 30, your third spirit ring's maximum lifespan should have been around 5000 years!"

"But you've been cultivating by devouring the Eight Spider Lances for the past few months, and your rate of improvement is a bit too fast, which isn't a good thing. Besides your soul power being somewhat unstable, your physical strength hasn't kept up!"

"Therefore, the current limit for your third spirit ring should be between 3500 and 4000 years!"

Bibi Dong appeared before Su Mo and gave him the answer he wanted.

"I see. That's more than double the limit set by others in 1800!"

"That's fine. After I've consolidated my increased soul power, I'll go hunt soul beasts. There's no need to wait a year or two for that thousand-year period!"

After receiving the answer, Su Mo quickly made a decision.

There's no need to waste time pursuing the ultimate. Sometimes, upgrading earlier can be more beneficial for the future.

For Soul Masters, the fastest period of improvement is during their youth, so suppressing their level to pursue higher quality Soul Rings is not a worthwhile endeavor.

Moreover, what's most important to Su Mo right now is to get his hands on the immortal herb first.

"Well, since you've made up your mind, let's do it your way!"

Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.

So Su Mo spent a few more days consolidating his cultivation, and after making some preparations, he set off for Sunset Forest.

Yes, Su Mo planned to search for his third soul ring on the outskirts of Sunset Forest. After succeeding, he would then venture deeper into the forest to find the treasure land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Su Mo had already considered his third soul skill.

That is a soul skill that can attack from a distance.

What Su Mo currently lacks is a means of long-range attack.

Of course, this refers to the Soul Master Competition. Outside of the competition, no matter how strong the third Soul Skill is, it can't compare to Su Mo's Soul Hunting Crossbow.

Similarly, outside of major tournaments, his melee attack power is also formidable when using the weapon-soul fusion combat mode.

Sunset Forest is quite close to the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Su Mo arrived in just half a day and then began searching for suitable soul beasts on the outskirts.

Hunting for spirit rings and finding spirit beasts has always been a matter of luck.

First, you need to find a soul beast, then the cultivation level of that soul beast must be suitable, and finally, the soul beast must match your own martial soul so that it can generate a soul skill that suits you.

For example, the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan must find soul beasts that are all of the sub-dragon species in order to unleash the full power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul.

However, that applies to others. For Su Mo, with Bibi Dong helping him scout the map, he could practically sweep across the area piece by piece, greatly increasing his chances of finding a suitable soul beast.

If it exists wherever it passes by, Bibi Dong can basically find it.

"Su Mo, we've found a suitable soul beast for you!"

Two days later, Bibi Dong helped Su Mo find a suitable soul beast.

A soul beast called the Gold Devouring Beast—firstly, its metal attribute was suitable for Su Mo, and secondly, the Gold Devouring Beast happened to be a soul beast of about four thousand years, making it even more perfect.

"The Gold Devouring Beast, generally weapon-type Soul Masters will gain two Soul Skills after absorbing its Soul Ring: one is its defensive Soul Skill Metal Armor, and the other is its offensive Soul Skill Metal Breath. If combined with my Soul Hunting Spear, it should form a spear-blade attack, which is exactly what I need."

"That's it, let's try our luck!"

"If it's a defensive soul skill, then let it be! Having a defensive soul skill isn't a bad thing!"

Through Bibi Dong's vision, Su Mo quickly spotted the Gold-Devouring Beast, which possessed four thousand years of cultivation and resembled a soul beast combining the characteristics of a pangolin and a leopard.

After seeing it clearly, Su Mo quickly made a decision.

Hunting for spirit rings is like that; sometimes it depends on luck. You can't just get whatever spirit skill you want.

It's not that only one type of soul skill can be born from the same type of soul beast.

After making the decision, Su Mo quietly crept towards the gold-devouring beast.

sigh~

The Soul-Hunting Crossbow also appeared in Su Mo's hands at the same time.

The Soul-Hunting Crossbow is sufficient to deal with a four-thousand-year-old soul beast, so there's no need to set up traps or anything like that.

Even in a direct confrontation, Su Mo is now completely unafraid of a four-thousand-year-old soul beast.

However, if he could kill the opponent by surprise, Su Mo was still unwilling to fight head-on.

That would only cause a bigger commotion and could very likely attract other powerful soul beasts.

puff~

A few minutes later, a crossbow bolt shot into the eye of the gold-devouring beast, and half of the bolt was embedded in its head.

The gold-devouring beast, which was over a meter tall, let out a howl and collapsed to the ground, its body convulsing and blood flowing from its wounds.

"Done!"

Seeing this, Su Mo knew that the matter was settled. He then stepped out from the shadows and walked towards the nearly dead gold-devouring beast.

"So easy again..."

Seeing Su Mo effortlessly hunt down the soul beast she wanted with his own strength, Bibi Dong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement once again.

If Bibi Dong hadn't known that Su Mo had absolutely no knowledge of martial spirits before and that she had to teach him everything, she would have found it hard to believe that Su Mo was actually an ordinary person without any spirit power.

However, according to Su Mo, it was precisely because Su Mo had no soul power in his previous life that he tried every possible way to solve problems, instead of relying on his martial soul to solve them whenever he had a problem.

Bibi Dong agreed with Su Mo's words, realizing that all the Soul Masters in the world were overly reliant on their Martial Souls.

Or perhaps they were too proud and disdained to use methods other than martial spirits.

puff~

After Su Mo arrived in front of the still convulsing Gold Devouring Beast, he thrust his Purple Gold Soul-Hunting Spear hard, thus sending the four-thousand-year-old Gold Devouring Beast to its final rest.

hum-

A moment later, a purple thousand-year soul ring emerged from the corpse of the Gold Devouring Beast, its color much deeper than the one Su Mo had absorbed for his second soul ring.

Without hesitation, Su Mo sat cross-legged on the ground and quickly began to absorb the four-thousand-year-old purple soul ring.

……

While Su Mo was absorbing and refining his third soul ring, deep within the Sunset Forest, in a peculiar valley shrouded in poisonous mist...

Beside a peculiar spring, half cold and half hot, Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on a rock.

However, judging from Dugu Bo's complexion, it was not good at all. His lips were black, his face was purple, and he was trembling all over, as if he was trying his best to suppress the pain in his body.

"puff--"

Suddenly, Dugu Bo's face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sizzle sizzle~

However, when the blood splattered onto the stone, it made a sizzling, corrosive sound, and its color was mixed with a large amount of blackish-purple.

"Damn it—"

"Am I, the Poison Douluo whose title is synonymous with poison, really going to be poisoned to death by my own poison?"

The Poison Douluo, whose face was unusually pale, opened his pair of emerald green eyes, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked extremely ugly.

Ever since Tang Hao severely injured him that day, the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King, which had been suppressed within his body, was forced to erupt.

He finally managed to return to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and only by relying on the special energy field there was he able to catch his breath.

However, the deadly poison in his body had already been detonated, and despite suppressing it for nearly three months, he was unable to do so again.

He felt that he could no longer control the deadly poison in his body, and if he didn't find a way out, he would be poisoned to death by his own Jade Phosphorous Serpent King poison in a few days.

He'll probably become the most ridiculously deceased Title Douluo in history!

"No, I can't give up like this. I have no choice but to try anything!"

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo was unwilling to die so ridiculously. His eyes looked at the many ancient herbs in the herb garden. After finding a herb that looked good to him, Dugu Bo grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Before long, Dugu Bosheng swallowed the herb.

"puff--"

Before long, Dugu Bo's eyes rolled back, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. Then, his body fell forward, and he collapsed to the ground, face down.

Silky~

A small, emerald-green snake then crawled out of Dugu Bo's sleeve. After glancing back at Dugu Bo, it rolled its eyes and then slithered away.

It probably thought its owner would never wake up again!
