Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"If we suddenly withdraw everyone, I wonder if something unexpected might happen?"

Sword Douluo thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That makes sense. Let's wait for Wang Teng to return before discussing it further."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Bone Douluo put the two soul bones into his storage soul tool and turned to walk out of the main hall.

Silvery-white spatial ripples spread around him and disappeared into the air in an instant.

Ning Rongrong stood at the entrance of the main hall, gazing in the direction where Bone Douluo had disappeared, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.

"Wang Teng will come back."

Zhu Zhuqing walked to Ning Rongrong's side and said softly.

"I know."

Ning Rongrong said softly, "But I'm still scared."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything more, but simply reached out and took Ning Rongrong's hand.

The two women remained silent.

……

Tian Dou City, Yue Xuan.

Located on the most bustling street in the eastern district of Tiandou City, Yuexuan is a three-story wooden pavilion with upturned eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, exuding elegance in every aspect.

Two simply dressed young men with gentle smiles stood at the entrance, welcoming and seeing off visitors.

When Bone Douluo arrived, it was already evening.

He wasn't wearing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School elder's robe, but instead wore an ordinary gray long gown, making him look like an inconspicuous old man.

But those eyes were incredibly sharp; they could see right through a person with just a glance.

On the second floor of Yuexuan, in a private room, Dugu Yan had been waiting for quite some time.

Today she wore a light green long dress, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore a jade hairpin. She looked like a well-bred young lady who had come to drink tea.

In addition, sitting next to Dugu Yan was a middle-aged man in his forties with a cold face and sharp eyes like a hawk.

This is Dugu Bo's cousin, Dugu Feng, a level 76 Soul Saint, and one of the few experts in the Dugu family.

Dugu Feng was not in favor of this deal.

He believed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was untrustworthy, and that if they turned against them, the two of them would be no match for them.

But Dugu Bo insisted, so he had no choice but to come along.

The door was pushed open.

Bone Douluo walked in, without anyone following behind him.

Dugu Yan stood up and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Bone Douluo."

Bone Douluo waved his hand, said nothing, and took out two wooden boxes from his storage soul tool, placing them on the table.

"Both of the 50,000-year-old soul bones are poisonous."

Gu Rong opened the wooden box, pushed it in front of Dugu Yan, and asked, "Take a look, is it to your liking?"

Dugu Yan looked down.

The first soul bone was a section of arm bone, dark green in color, with a faint luster flowing across its surface, like a piece of jade polished by time.

Fine lines, like snake scales, are faintly visible on the bone, which exudes a strong toxic odor.

The second soul bone was a leg bone, darker in color, almost black, with fine protrusions covering its surface, like the scales of a venomous snake.

Holding it in your hand, you can even feel a chilling aura creeping up your fingertips.

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up.

She possesses the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, which is of the poison attribute, making these two soul bones seem tailor-made for her.

Especially that arm bone, Dugu Yan could feel her martial spirit resonating with it, yearning for it.

"nice one."

Dugu Feng also came over to take a look, nodded, and smiled, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed sincere."

Bone Douluo didn't reply, but simply said, "The goods have been delivered. I hope you can escort Wang Teng back as soon as possible."

"Regardless, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School owes you a debt of gratitude for saving Wang Teng."

"Your Majesty, please take care."

Dugu Yan quickly stood up and bowed.

Bone Douluo walked to the door, then stopped, looked back at Dugu Yan, and said, "By the way, if that kid Wang Teng loses even a single hair, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not let it go."

Dugu Yan's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Wang Teng is recuperating in our clan's territory, and he is being provided with good food and drink. He will be fine."

Bone Douluo didn't say anything more and went out.

Only Dugu Yan and Dugu Feng remained in the private room.

Dugu Feng walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and watched as Bone Douluo's figure disappeared at the end of the street before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really wants to make a deal, and is not trying to get something for nothing."

Dugu Yan ignored him; she had already picked up the dark green arm bone without hesitation.

"Absorb it here?"

Dugu Feng frowned and said worriedly, "Isn't this too dangerous?"

"fine."

Dugu Yan shook her head and said, "Grandpa Bone said that these two soul bones were specially found for me, and that I should absorb them as soon as possible after the transaction."

Dugu Feng wanted to say something more, but seeing Dugu Yan's excited expression, he swallowed his words.

Dugu Yan placed the soul bone on her arm, closed her eyes, and circulated her soul power.

Dark green light surged from the soul bone and slowly merged into her arm.

The feeling wasn't like absorbing something external; it was more like the substance was already in my body, and now it was just being awakened.

The warm breath traveled up my arm, into my shoulder, into my chest, and into every part of my body.

Dugu Feng looked at her nervously, his palms sweating profusely.

Three hours later, both soul bones were completely absorbed.

Dugu Yan opened her eyes.

A glint of emerald green light flashed in her eyes, and she exuded an aura completely different from before.

That was the aura of a level 50 Soul King.

"Breakthrough?"

Dugu Feng asked in surprise.

Dugu Yan nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Level 50."

"After absorbing both soul bones, I broke through directly."

Chapter 416 The Deal with Dugu Bo

Dugu Yan lowered her head and examined her body. She could feel that the two soul bones had completely merged into her body.

Although there were no visible signs, Dugu Yan could sense that her strength had increased by more than one level compared to before.

"Let's go," Dugu Yan said. "It's time to go back and report."

The two left Yuexuan, boarded a carriage, and headed out of the city.

……

The territory of the Dugu family.

Wang Teng sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand, flipping through it absentmindedly.

Dugu Bo sat opposite him, his eyes closed, as if he were dozing off, or as if he were thinking about something.

The courtyard was quiet, with only the rustling of the wind through the bamboo leaves.

Wang Teng looked up at the sky.

The sun had already sunk behind the mountains, and the clouds on the horizon were tinged with dark red.

Judging by the time, Dugu Yan should have already obtained the soul bone.

"senior."

Wang Teng put down his book and asked, "How long does it take to cultivate your internal alchemy method?"

Dugu Bo opened one eye, glanced at Wang Teng, and casually said, "How long? It depends on talent."

"Those with talent can achieve this in a year or two."

"Those who lack talent will never be able to condense it in their entire lives."

"A year and a half?" Wang Teng frowned. "That long?"

"Long?"

Dugu Bo snorted and said, "Kid, do you think condensing your inner core is as easy as eating and drinking?"

"That compresses all the soul power and toxins in the body into a single point; if you're not careful, you'll explode and die."

"If it can be completed in a year or two, that's already considered fast."

Wang Teng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is there any way to speed things up?"

Dugu Bo closed his eyes again: "No."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng didn't ask any more questions, but instead picked up the book again and continued flipping through it.

About an hour later, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard gate.

Dugu Yan is back.
