"I couldn't help it, I was just too happy and couldn't hold it in anymore," Chen Xin replied in the same way.
Yes, Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed. In just one day, the sect's strength had increased several times over, and now he was about to announce the good news to his disciples. How could he possibly hold back?
"Cough cough!" Ning Fengzhi coughed to ease his embarrassment, while constantly reminding himself, "No, I am the aloof sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I absolutely cannot lose my persona. I must hold back!"
"Well, fellow disciples, you must be very curious about what happened just now. Well then, let me tell you some great news. Just now, our sect's Third Elder, Yin Yang, with me, Uncle Jian, and Uncle Gu as witnesses, completed his breakthrough and officially entered level ninety, stepping into the realm of Title Douluo!"
Chapter 58 The Battle of Title Douluos: Dugu Bo VS Chrysanthemum Pass
"What did the Sect Master just say?" On the plaza, someone pinched the flesh on their waist, clearly thinking they were dreaming.
"Ouch, you should pinch yourself," the person next to him immediately complained.
But then he came to his senses and realized that the pain meant he wasn't dreaming. So what the sect leader said must be the absolute reality: their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was going to have three Douluo in one family.
Ning Fengzhi was very satisfied with the expressions of the crowd below. Even people from his own sect were so surprised. He imagined that once the news got out, other sects on the continent would be even more excited.
"Hehe, let the spies from other sects spread the word. Let the fame of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School resound throughout the entire continent!" With Ning Fengzhi's wisdom, he already knew the identities of many spies.
However, he didn't want to touch them because he knew that even if he removed those people, the Spirit Hall would still send others. Besides, the traitors who had already been discovered but still thought they were safe were the easiest to use.
Ning Fengzhi intended to use these spies to spread the news of Yin Yang's breakthrough to the Title Douluo level. While everyone's attention was focused on Yin Yang, they wouldn't notice that the strength of the other two veteran Title Douluos in the sect, as well as the sect leader Ning Fengzhi, had improved even more dramatically.
If anyone is dissatisfied with the strength of their sect in the future and intends to attack, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, with Ning Fengzhi's assistance, will surely be able to catch them off guard and strike them unexpectedly.
"Tomorrow, I will go with Uncle Gu to take Elder Yin Yang to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for the ninth soul ring. During this time, two more seats need to be built in the Seven Treasures Hall for the future Guardian Douluo to use," Ning Fengzhi ordered.
"Why two?" someone below asked, puzzled. Only Yin Yang was granted a title, so why were two copies made?
"Idiot, don't you know the sect leader has OCD? Building only one would make it asymmetrical. Besides, the fourth one can also be used to motivate others. Does our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lack the money for a seat?" Someone cleverly offered an explanation for Ning Fengzhi.
Of course, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't reveal the truth so soon. He would only announce the matter of Dugu Bo after he had settled his scores with Chrysanthemum Douluo.
The next morning, Ning Fengzhi set off with Bone Douluo and Yin Yang, while Sword Douluo stayed behind at the sect. In fact, this trip was not only to help Yin Yang obtain his ninth spirit ring, but also to help Ning Fengzhi obtain his eighth spirit ring.
Tianlin sat cross-legged in his room. Everyone except Ning Rongrong had finished absorbing the medicinal power, so he could now safely absorb his own soul bone.
A soul bone that's 60,000 years old would likely greatly enhance all of his attributes.
As for Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi temporarily put away her Heaven-Mending Pill. It wasn't that he didn't want to give it to her, but after personally taking it, Ning Fengzhi found that the pill's potency was too strong. He was worried that Rongrong's young body couldn't withstand it, and felt it would be safer to wait until Rongrong broke through to the Soul Venerable realm before she took it.
Tianlin, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo both agreed with this.
As for Ning Rongrong herself, she didn't care at all. After all, she was still young and an immature child who hadn't shouldered the responsibilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and didn't have a strong desire for strength.
In her heart, since she had her father, Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Eagle, and Brother Sword protecting her, no one would dare to bully her.
Ning Rongrong was sitting quietly beside Tianlin, watching him absorb the soul bone. She was quite sensible at this moment, not saying a word, worried about disturbing Tianlin.
Meanwhile, deep within the Sunset Forest, in a desolate and lifeless poisonous forest, Dugu Bo strolled leisurely. Not long ago, he had issued a challenge to Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and today was the day of the duel.
"After all these years, you old poisoner, have you finally accepted your fate and actually come looking for death?" A charming male voice came from the woods. He was none other than Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo, one of the current Title Douluos and the outward face of the Spirit Hall.
"Hmph, many years ago, I was chased to the brink of death by you and Old Ghost. Today, I'm here to settle the score with you." Dugu Bo harbored resentment for many years and was determined to avenge his humiliation today.
Ju Douluo scoffed at his determination. "Settle the score? Haha, have you forgotten? Every time you fought me, you were beaten to a pulp. The most dangerous time was when you were lucky enough to run into Prince Xuexing's patrol army. Xuexing used the power of the Heaven Dou Empire to force me and Old Ghost to retreat, and you would have been dead long ago."
Touched on a sore spot, Dugu Bo became even angrier, "That's just my fate, Chrysanthemum Pass, watch how I deal with you!"
"Old poisoner, this time, Prince Xuexing won't be here to help you!"
The two titled Douluo challenged each other, and then simultaneously began to circulate their soul power.
Yue Guan, being of a higher level, completed his preparations first, and his fifth black spirit ring lit up. "Fifth Spirit Skill, Gathering of Cold Heroes!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo released countless petals, which, under his fifth soul skill, formed extremely fast and indestructible blades, all flying towards Dugu Bo.
In a battle between masters, a single mistake can lead to a series of setbacks. Dugu Bo had no choice but to temporarily abandon his attacks and focus on dodging them.
Using the complex terrain of the forest, Dugu Bo moved nimbly, constantly dodging the attacks of Han Ying Zhi Ju, but Ju Douluo was hot on his heels, and he couldn't find a chance to counterattack.
"Damn it, this damn throwing knife is only draining my stamina. I have to find a chance to get close to Chrysanthemum Pass."
"Third Soul Skill, Azure Scale Bewitching Array."
With Dugu Bo's current strength as a Title Douluo, he could easily unleash his third soul skill instantly. However, the poison in his third soul skill was nothing to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Of course, Dugu Bo never expected to defeat Yue Guan with this move; he only wanted to use it to distract Yue Guan.
"Disappeared!" Yue Guan had no choice but to retrieve the Han Ying Zhi Ju after losing sight of Dugu Bo.
Just then, Dugu Bo appeared behind Yue Guan in an instant and threw a punch. Yue Guan raised his hand to block, but was knocked back by the force of Dugu Bo's punch.
Then Dugu Bo charged forward again, with almost no time difference between the moves. This time, it was Chrysanthemum Douluo who was being chased and beaten.
"Such speed! Is this old poisoner courting death? With the potent poison in his body, to attack with such full force without leaving some of his soul power to suppress it, isn't he afraid of suffering a backlash and dying?" The reason Yue Guan had never taken Dugu Bo seriously was because he knew that Dugu Bo was simply unable to unleash his full power.
He claimed to be a Title Douluo, but his actual combat strength was only slightly stronger than that of a Soul Douluo. However, today, Dugu Bo fully displayed the strength that a Title Douluo should have, which greatly surprised him.
Chapter 59 The mighty Jade Serpent King, Poison Chrysanthemum Douluo defeated, Ghost Douluo appears.
"Hehe, what's wrong, Chrysanthemum Pass? Is this all you've got?" Seeing that he had the upper hand, Dugu Bo began to mock him.
"Damn it, you old poisoner, don't get too cocky. I haven't even gotten serious yet. Third Soul Skill, Aura Barrier!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's third soul skill, Aura Barrier, is a control skill that releases petals of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to surround the opponent, rendering them unable to move.
This move wasn't very effective against Dugu Bo, who had already reached the Title Douluo level, but it was enough to limit him for a moment. In that instant, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly retreated, widening the distance between the two.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was not a titled Douluo skilled in close combat, and his soul power was close to level 95. Using his stronger soul power to suppress Dugu Bo was the most correct approach.
"Chrysanthemum Pass, you're even resorting to such petty tricks against me? Have you run out of options?" At this moment, Dugu Boyuan was not as panicked as he was in the original story.
In the original story, because he was only at level 92, while Yue Guan was between level 94 and 95, he could even say to others that he was a level 95 Title Douluo without any problem. The difference in their soul power was close to three levels, so he was naturally suppressed.
However, now, thanks to the Purple Gold Pill and the assistance of the Heavenly Scale Sacred Breath Barrier over the past six months, Dugu Bo's soul power has reached the late stage of level ninety-three. The actual level difference between him and Yue Guan is less than two levels.
With the addition of the even stronger Azure Serpent King Poison, he was confident he could fight Yue Guan head-on.
"Chrysanthemum Pass, prepare to die! Seventh Soul Skill, Azure Serpent Emperor True Form!" Dugu Bo finally unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, and his entire body instantly transformed into a giant, emerald-green venomous serpent.
Wherever the venomous snake passes, all vegetation withers instantly; its venom is astonishingly potent.
"Hmph, I also have a Martial Soul True Body, the seventh soul skill!" Upon seeing this, Yue Guan also activated his Martial Soul True Body. He was a weapon-type Martial Soul, so his Martial Soul True Body did not change his physical body, but directly affected the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
In the sky, a giant chrysanthemum covered a vast forest as if blotting out the sun.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Golden Stamens Flowing with Rosy Clouds!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's sixth soul skill after activating his Martial Soul True Form is so powerful that it is earth-shattering. If it were to hit the ground directly, it would probably level the area within several miles.
"Azure Scale Serpent King's Poison!" Dugu Bo also unleashed his full soul power to clash with Yue Guan's sixth soul skill. The two powerful forces were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, and it was difficult to determine the winner for a time.
"Old Poisoner, you have indeed become stronger, but my level is still above yours. Take this!" Yue Guan roared, increasing his soul power output.
The golden stamens, glowing with a rosy light, continued to grow stronger, gradually suppressing Dugu Bo's poison.
Dugu Bo didn't say much. He seemed to be struggling to hold on, but in reality, he was already confident of victory.
"How can this old poisoner be so calm? Wait, something's not right!" After a while, Yue Guan finally noticed something was wrong. He did seem to have the upper hand, but in fact he had not really hurt Dugu Bo. On the contrary, his martial soul was beginning to be contaminated with poison.
"My martial spirit has actually been corrupted? How is that possible?" Yue Guan said in disbelief.
"Hehe, you finally figured it out, Chrysanthemum Pass. Your soul power is indeed above mine, but you've overlooked something very important: the restraint of martial souls. We poison soul masters are naturally restrained by many plant soul masters. Don't you know that?" Dugu Bo sneered.
"Impossible! That's just an ordinary plant-type martial soul. My martial soul is a celestial-grade one!" Yue Guan roared.
Indeed, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, as a celestial product, is not only powerful but also resistant to poison. Therefore, when Yue Guan faced a Poison Soul Master, he was not only not restrained but was able to counter them.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to keep Dugu Bo in the lead.
However, resistance is not immunity. When the poison resistance limit of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is broken, the suppression of the plant soul master by the poison soul master will appear, which is to gradually corrode the opponent's plant martial soul, thus completely losing its combat power.
Since Dugu Bo guided his poison into Medusa's soul bone, the combination of the two has brought his Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Poison to a whole new level. In addition, with the purification of soul power by the Purple Gold Pill, every strike Dugu Bo makes now contains the most concentrated and pure poison.
He deliberately steered the battle into a clash of powerful soul skills between the two sides, in order to continuously output soul power and gradually corrode Chrysanthemum Douluo's Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum during the stalemate.
"You old poisoner, you actually set a trap to harm me, how despicable!" As his martial soul was corroded, Chrysanthemum Douluo's power was gradually weakening. Finally realizing what had happened, he couldn't help but roar in anger.
"All warfare is based on deception. At Chrysanthemum Pass, today is your death day."
Dugu Bo continued to increase his soul power output, and the Azure Scale Serpent King began to gain the upper hand. The golden stamens with their flowing light were constantly being pushed back. If this continued, Chrysanthemum Douluo would surely die.
At this critical moment, suddenly, a giant ghost hand appeared between the two. The ghost hand clenched into a fist and punched the point where their soul power clashed. Yue Guan and Dugu Bo were both knocked back by this powerful blow.
This ghostly hand was clearly on Yue Guan's side, because Dugu Bo had the advantage just now. If it hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted the battle, Yue Guan might already be dead.
"Only a ghostly figure is visible, no soul rings. Hmph, old ghost, I didn't expect you to come too." Dugu Bo snorted coldly, already guessing the identity of the newcomer.
The ghostly figure gradually coalesced into a human form, standing beside Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Old Ghost, you're here too!" Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the newcomer with surprise and even a hint of affection in his eyes. These two seemed to have a very special relationship.
"Chrysanthemum Pass, you're really hopeless. You can't even beat an old poisoner," Ghost Shadow mocked.
From Ghost Douluo's words, one can sense that his strength is even greater than Yue Guan's.
"That old poisoner's martial soul counters mine; otherwise, I could have killed him simply by suppressing him with my soul power," Chrysanthemum Douluo said unwillingly.
"Hehe, his martial soul is your weakness, but not mine. I'll take care of him. After killing him, we can go back and drink and eat meat." After saying that, Ghost Douluo flashed and rushed towards Dugu Bo.
His speed far surpassed that of Yue Guan. Unlike the offensive type Yue Guan, he was an agile type. For a time, Dugu Bo was forced to the brink of defeat.
His attacks were so bizarre that Dugu Bo didn't even know where to apply his poison.
Dugu Bo thought to himself, "Damn it, this old ghost is really powerful. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be a match for him. Once Chrysanthemum Pass recovers and joins the battle, I'll be besieged by two Title Douluos, and then I'll be dead. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to..."
Chapter 60 The Terrifying Kiss of the Snow-White Swan: Dugu Bo's Ninth Soul Skill Unleashed
"Old poisoner, your poison might work on me, but you're too green to deal with this old ghost." Seeing his best friend gain the upper hand, Yue Guan sat down to recover his soul power and expel the poison while making sarcastic remarks.
Although Dugu Bo was furious, he knew that Yue Guan was right. Ghost Douluo's speed was too fast, and he could not release the poison in a fixed spot. If he wanted to hit his opponent, he could only use a wide-area poison.
However, the toxicity of this wide-range poison is not concentrated enough, and it may not be able to cause any harm to a Title Douluo.
"Old Ghost, Chrysanthemum Pass, if it were before, facing both of you at the same time, I might have had no choice but to surrender. But now, I still have the treasure given to me by the little monster." Dugu Bo thought fiercely. Being suppressed like this was not his style. It was time for him to bring out his trump card.
Dugu Bo flipped his hands and took out a flower from his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch. Using the flower as a medium, he spread his Azure Scale Serpent King Poison in all directions.
"That's... the Snow-White Swan's Kiss?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was so frightened when he saw it that he trembled with fear. He didn't care about restoring his soul power and quickly shouted, "Old Ghost, retreat quickly, that thing is very dangerous."
If there were anyone in this world besides Tianlin and Tang San who could recognize the Snow Swan Kiss, there would probably only be two people: one is Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Broken Clan, who is obsessed with alchemy and has a deep understanding of various herbs.
The other person is Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, whose martial soul is a celestial herb. Therefore, he has also deliberately studied the information of other celestial herbs in the world.
"What?" Ghost was startled. Having cooperated with Chrysanthemum Douluo for many years, he had no doubt about Yue Guan's words. He immediately stopped attacking and withdrew from the area of the poison.
Only then did he notice that although Dugu Bo had spread the poison, the intensity of the dispersed poison was no less than when he had focused on dealing with Yue Guan, and was even stronger. In just a few seconds, the area within a hundred meters in diameter centered on Dugu Bo had been turned into a wasteland.
If he had been in that position just now, he would probably have been poisoned.
