Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 43 Consuming the Immortal Herb: The Terrifying Evolution of the Spear

"What the hell? They're at it again with this apprenticeship tactic!"

Looking at Dugu Bo's somewhat arrogant demeanor, Ji Wuming was utterly speechless. Although Dugu Bo was already a Super Douluo, becoming his disciple would essentially give him a protector, which was indeed a good thing.

However, Dugu Bo is skilled in using poison, while the focus of his martial soul cultivation is not on poison, so there are some things that are not suitable for him.

"What, you're still hesitating? I, a titled Douluo, have never taken on a disciple before. I'm in a good mood today, so taking you on as my disciple is already a bargain for you."

Seeing Ji Wuming's hesitant expression, Dugu Bo felt somewhat displeased. How could he, a titled Douluo, be rejected by a mere Soul Venerable?

If he hadn't discovered that this kid was only 13 years old in terms of bone age, had a Soul Master cultivation level of 35, was a promising genius, and would be helpful to his own Martial Soul evolution, Dugu Bo would never have accepted him as a disciple.

"No, I appreciate your kind intentions, senior!"

Ji Wuming paused for a moment before continuing,

"To be honest, I come from Seagod Island and belong to the Soul Masters of Sea Spear City. Sea Spear Douluo is my master, so..."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo instantly appeared in front of Ji Wuming, looking at him with an unprecedentedly terrifying gaze.

"Really? You may have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, but you can't hide anything from me!"

"How could I possibly deceive a Title Douluo? The vast majority of my skills were taught to me by my master."

Ji Wuming's eyes revealed utmost sincerity, but in reality, he was slightly panicked and kept praying.

Seagod Island, Sea Spear Douluo, I am a child of the Seagod, under the Seagod's protection, so borrowing the identity of Seagod Island shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Dugu Bo stared at Ji Wuming for a while, then helplessly shrugged, put his hands behind his back, and looked regretful.

"Sigh, let's leave the matter of becoming disciples aside."

Dugu Bo had heard of the formidable reputation of Seagod Island. More than 20 years ago, the Spirit Hall sent elite troops to annihilate Seagod Island, but they not only suffered a crushing defeat but also lost most of their elite forces, including a Title Douluo.

The Sea Spear Douluo that Ji Wuming mentioned might be a powerful Soul Master at the Title Douluo level on Seagod Island. Their Martial Souls are also different, both being spear-type Martial Souls. It has to be said that Ji Wuming really found a good master!

Seeing the slightly disappointed Dugu Bo, Ji Wuming didn't want to miss out on a level 95 Super Douluo's protector. He tentatively walked to Dugu Bo's ear and whispered something lightly.

"Since I can't become my senior's apprentice, I can try to become his granddaughter's good friend."

"You brat, do you know who you're talking to?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately slapped Ji Wuming on the back, deliberately holding back the force, but it still made Ji Wuming feel pain.

"If that really doesn't work, I can seriously consider your granddaughter!"

Dugu Bo was still very angry at Ji Wuming's words. What did he mean by "think it over"? No matter what, there must be at least 100 people who have their eyes on Yan Yan, if not 1. And recently, Lao Long's grandson is the most sincere and has the strongest background among the suitors.

"Alright, you should hurry up and fix your martial soul's flaws. I still need to bring Yan Yan over. I don't have time to argue with you, kid."

Dugu Bo took Ji Wuming's idea as a joke. Although Ji Wuming had now reached the level of a level 95 Super Douluo, and was comparable to, or even stronger than, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Master, Dugu Bo was still quite confident.

However, his descendant Yu Tianheng is also quite talented, and with the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he is also fond of his granddaughter. A marriage between them would naturally be the best outcome.

If that didn't work, then considering the brat in front of him wouldn't be a problem either. Dugu Bo then used his Instant Step to leap away from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Now Ji Wuming could finally absorb the divine herb in peace. He took out the "Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew," first sucking a few drops of dew from its leaves, and then consuming the whole plant.

He sat cross-legged on the spot, and several streams of golden energy converged towards him, not only expanding his spiritual power but also nourishing the Thunder Dragon Fish external soul bone above his head.

A short while later, Ji Wuming exhaled a breath of golden turbid air. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyesight greatly enhanced, and his perception of the outside world exceptionally sharp.

In particular, the two subtle fluctuations of soul power, one blue and one red, constantly flowing around the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire were especially noticeable to Ji Wuming.

"This must be the energy emanating from the Ice and Fire Dragon King's bones at the bottom of the pool! Unfortunately, with my current mental strength, I cannot sense the Ice and Fire Dragon King's bones at the bottom of the pool."

Ji Wuming was quite interested in the fallen Ice and Fire Dragon King's bones, since they contained not only pure dragon blood essence but also two million-year-old soul bones.

Even if he consumed the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, gaining immunity to both ice and fire, his current physique would make it impossible for him to descend to the bottom of the pool. Moreover, if he were to remove all the dragon bones and blood, without an energy supply, this treasure land would become nothing more than an ordinary pool of water within ten thousand years.

If we want to seize the soul bone while ensuring the sustainable development of this treasure land, we need to make some other plans.

Ji Wuming then took out the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the most crucial item, the Qiluo Tulip.

"Now I possess nearly three times the mental strength, and even after my martial soul evolves, I can still stably control my blood energy and blood lightning spear martial souls!"

Ji Wuming first swallowed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, followed by the Qiluo Tulip. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was responsible for tempering his body, and through absorption, it forged his body into an indestructible form.

Meanwhile, the Qiluo Tulip draws a large amount of pure energy to the Blood Thunder Spear Martial Soul through the soul power within its body.

"boom--"

Suddenly, a muffled thud exploded from Ji Wuming's body, and the Blood Thunder Spear automatically appeared, firmly embedded in the ground in front of Ji Wuming.

Starting from the spear and Ji Wuming himself, a dense, pungent stench of blood emanated outwards, forming a large, oval-shaped blood mist that enveloped the man and the spear.

The roars, struggles, and desperate cries of countless wild beasts, soul beasts, and humans emanated from within the blood mist, some even trying to escape, creating an extremely terrifying scene.

At this moment, Dugu Bo had already arrived with Dugu Yan. As soon as they stood still, they were terrified by the deep red blood mist in front of them.

Especially Dugu Yan, who was standing to the side, when she smelled the thick stench of blood in the air and saw the blood mist that sometimes transformed into humans and sometimes into beasts, struggling to break free, she hid behind Dugu Bo in fear, dry heaving incessantly.

"Grandpa, could this blood mist have been created by Ji Wuming?"
