Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

But his sacred beasts are different: Flaming Bird, Vajra Armor, and Silver. All three of them have consumed the corresponding immortal herbs.

Part of the medicinal power of those immortal herbs was used on them, while the other part settled in Wang Teng's body, subtly improving his physique.

This time, the shattered heart activated the accumulated medicinal power, which, combined with the restorative abilities of the 100,000-year-old soul bone, pulled Wang Teng back from the brink of death.

"It seems that feeding the sacred beast more immortal herbs regularly does have its benefits."

Wang Teng muttered to himself.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan walked in one after the other.

Dugu Bo held a bowl of medicine in his hand; it was dark and emitted a pungent, bitter smell.

Dugu Yan followed behind, carrying a bowl of porridge, which smelled quite delicious.

"woke up?"

Dugu Bo placed the medicine bowl on the bedside table, looked Wang Teng up and down, and said, "You can sit up now, so it seems you're almost fully recovered."

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior."

Wang Teng bowed slightly, the movement still somewhat laborious.

Dugu Bo waved his hand, pulled over a chair, sat down, crossed his legs, and said, "Tell me, what happened? Who hurt you like this?"

Wang Teng remained silent for a moment, then explained without hiding anything: "The Spirit Hall."

"Ghost Leopard Douluo".

Dugu Bo's brow twitched, and he asked in surprise, "Ghost Leopard Douluo? The level 95 one?"

"It's him."

"You, a Soul King, actually managed to escape from a level 95 Title Douluo?"

Dugu Bo's tone carried a mixture of doubt and admiration.

"I was lucky."

Wang Teng didn't explain further.

Dugu Bo did not press the matter further.

Having lived for so many years and witnessed countless incredible things, he knew that some secrets should not be asked.

So, Dugu Bo changed the subject, speaking casually as if they were having a casual chat, and said, "Kid, do you know there's an unwritten rule among the major powers?"

"What rules?"

"An attack targeting a genius disciple."

Dugu Bo picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a sip, and explained, "When a genius emerges from one of the factions, the other factions will try to eliminate him."

"If the open methods don't work, we'll use the covert ones; if the covert methods don't work, we'll send in experts."

"The fact that the Spirit Hall has its eye on you means you're qualified."

Wang Teng did not refute.

He knew that what Dugu Bo said was true.

There has never been true peace between the powers on the mainland; they just haven't completely broken off relations yet.

The Spirit Hall sent Ghost Leopard Douluo to kill him. Although the methods were despicable, it was not unusual in the "rules" of the major powers.

However, Wang Teng did not believe that Ghost Leopard Douluo attacked him because he was too talented.

"It's either because of Qian Renxue or because of Chrysanthemum Douluo."

Wang Teng analyzed in his heart.

However, there was no need to tell Dugu Bo about these things; Wang Teng simply acquiesced without saying a word.

After a while, Dugu Bo put down his teacup, looked at Wang Teng with a serious expression, and asked, "Boy, I saved you this time, what will you do to repay me?"

Wang Teng had been waiting to hear those words.

"Senior, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent can be harmed by its own venom, but I have a way to solve this problem."

Wang Teng was telling the truth.

In the original novel, Tang San used this method to help Dugu Bo resolve the backlash from the toxins in his body, forcing the toxins to one place and isolating them with his soul bone.

Although Wang Teng didn't know the specific operational details, he understood the general principles.

Wang Teng planned to use this method to repay Dugu Bo and resolve Dugu Bo's own toxin problem.

However, Dugu Bo laughed heartily after hearing this.

"Boy, I already solved what you're talking about."

Wang Teng was stunned.

Dugu Bo stood up, hands behind his back, a smug look on his face, and said, "Do you think I'm still the old poisoner who was tormented to death by the backlash of the toxins a few years ago?"

"Let me tell you, I'm no longer afraid of my own poison."

Dugu Yan added from the side, "My grandfather developed a secret technique that can collect all the toxins in the body into one place, so that they will never backfire."

A flash of inspiration struck Wang Teng.

"Poison pill?"

He asked cautiously.

Dugu Bo suddenly turned around, staring intently at Wang Teng, and asked, "Boy, how do you know the method of making poison pills?"

Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and explained, "I found out from other poison-attribute soul masters."

"There are quite a few Soul Masters on the mainland who use poison, and there must be some who have researched similar methods."

Dugu Bo stared at Wang Teng for a few seconds, then snorted and didn't ask any further questions.

Afterwards, Dugu Bo paced around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, and sighed, "There are so many geniuses in the world."

"I thought I was the only one who came up with this idea, but I didn't expect that others had thought of it as well."

However—

Dugu Bo suddenly stopped, turned around, his eyes full of pride, and laughed, "Even if those people thought of it, they are not as good as me."

"Because they are producing poison pills, while I have gone a step further."

"Going a step further?"

Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat.

"The poison pill is ultimately an external object that requires the Soul Master to suppress it at all times. Moreover, even so, the poison will still occasionally backfire."

"What I am currently focusing on is the inner core."

"The toxins and soul power have merged into one, becoming inseparable."

"After being refined using special techniques, the toxins and inner core will no longer spread, and there will be no more worries about backlash."

"Where the inner elixir is, the poison is; where the inner elixir is strong, the poison is strong."

As Wang Teng listened to Dugu Bo's description, his mind raced.

Inner core? No, this is... a soul core?

Wang Teng remembered that in the original novel "Peerless Tang Sect", all Title Douluo had to condense a soul core.

A soul core is the core formed when the energy in a soul master's body is condensed to its extreme. With a soul core, the recovery speed and efficiency of soul power will be greatly improved, and soul power can even be continuously replenished during battle.

How did Dugu Bo manage to condense a soul core during this period?

Wang Teng didn't know how Dugu Bo had done it, but he knew that this thing was far more valuable than a soul bone.

"senior."

Wang Teng took a deep breath and said, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."

"This junior is willing to offer a piece of ten-thousand-year-old soul bone to the senior in gratitude for saving my life."

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Wang Teng continued, "In addition, I would like to ask you, senior, for the method of internal alchemy."

"This junior is willing to exchange another ten-thousand-year-old soul bone for it."

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up immediately.

Two ancient soul bones.

Even among titled Douluo, not everyone can possess two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed wealthy and powerful.

Dugu Bo did not rush to agree.

He took a deep breath, sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, and slowly took a sip.

"Two ancient soul bones in exchange for my inner core cultivation method."

Dugu Bo put down his teacup, looked at Wang Teng, and asked, "Boy, do you know how precious my inner alchemy method is?"

"With it, poison-attribute soul masters can not only solve the problem of poison backlash, but also greatly increase their cultivation speed, and may even break through their original limits."

"Isn't it too cheap for you to trade two soul bones for this?"

Wang Teng was not intimidated by his tone.

Dugu Bo is bargaining.

"Senior, soul bones are something that can only be encountered by chance."

"The same applies to soul bones that are ten thousand years old."

Wang Teng said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones in exchange for a cultivation technique, this price is not low."

"and--"

Looking into Dugu Bo's eyes, Wang Teng reminded him, "Senior, even if you pass on this technique to me, you won't lose a single piece of your own flesh."

"But the two pieces of ten-thousand-year-old soul bones are real."
