-------------------------
Currently, Dugu Bo was a Level 94 Title Douluo.
For years, the backlash of toxins had caused Dugu Bo immense suffering, suppressing his cultivation at level 91. However, after the evolution of his martial soul and the natural formation of a medicinal pearl within him, he had been continuously purifying his soul power over the years. Now that the toxin backlash had been resolved, his cultivation skyrocketed. Though he was only at level 94, according to Dugu Bo himself, he was already on the verge of reaching level 95. With just a bit more time to consolidate, he would become a Super Douluo.
Thinking about having two Super Douluos in his family, Ye Wen couldn't help but feel delighted. While they still couldn't compare to the Spirit Hall or the secluded Hao Tian Sect, with these two elders around, the Medical Alliance could dominate across the two empires.
At the very least, the two Super Douluos of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't dare to mess with them.
Even though the two sides were now connected through marriage and wouldn't come to blows, in terms of sheer combat strength, Sword Elder Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword was indeed formidable. But against Chen Gang, who possessed Ultimate fire attributes, once the battle began, it would be an overwhelming sea of flames. No matter how powerful Chen Xin's sword qi was, it couldn't block the heat coming from all directions. Unless he could kill Chen Gang in one strike, he would undoubtedly be completely suppressed.
If Bone Elder Gu Rong were to face Chen Gang, the outcome would be no differentâafter all, Chen Gang was unafraid of physical contact.
As for Dugu Bo, while his individual combat prowess might not match these three, he specialized in poison.
It was simple: if he couldn't directly poison these Title Douluos to death, he could poison their entire forces until only one Title Douluo remained! In terms of deterrence, Dugu Bo surpassed these three.
Moreover, that was the situation in the past when Dugu Bo's soul power was weaker than others, making it difficult for him to deal with other Title Douluos.
But now, with his soul power at level 94, those Title Douluos with lower cultivation levels could only tremble before him.
The idea of using the original timeline's characters like the Porcupinefish Douluo's detoxification abilities to counter Dugu Bo was nothing more than a pipe dream!
With one top-tier powerhouse and one area-control expert under his wing, Ye Wen couldn't imagine anyone foolish enough to provoke him.
With such strong backing, Ye Wen felt invincible, ready to do as he pleased.
As time passed, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament was drawing near. Ye Wen decided to pull off something big!
However, as the saying goes, "A man of wealth does not sit in a precarious place." Ye Wen's current status was far too valuable for reckless actions. Acting alone was simply out of the question.
After much deliberation, Ye Wen decided to use Dugu Bo's frequent trips to Sunset Forest as a cover. While appearing to head there, he would instead divert to another location.
As Dugu Bo flew with Ye Wen, he asked with a strange expression:
"Xiao Wen, are you sure your guess is reliable? I don't think Tang Hao would leave such a valuable treasure unattended."
Ye Wen chuckled, took a moment to admire the scenery below, and softly replied:
"Teacher, you're overestimating the Hao Tian Douluo. If he had any sense back then, he wouldn't have been parading around the continent with a hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast, trying to pick fights with the Spirit Hall. When the Spirit Hall finally attacked, he didn't even dare return to his sect. Do you really think someone like him has any brains?"
Dugu Bo burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"You're right. Back then, Tang Hao was famous across the continent, and every faction kept a close eye on him. Yet he shamelessly paraded around with a hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast, acting as if no one else mattered. Who knows what gave him the audacity?
And let's not even talk about the Spirit Hall's other strengthsâjust the Elder Hall alone had at least five Title Douluos on the surface. And when it comes to spirit beasts, whoever kills them first gets the spoils. Where did he get the confidence to act like that?"
The master and disciple laughed together, both mocking Tang Hao's lack of common sense.
Meanwhile, Ye Wen, after executing his diversion tactic, returned to his former hometownâHoly Spirit Village.
How big could a village be? The locations of the waterfalls and rivers in the village had long been mapped out by Ye Wen during his childhood.
In the past, Ye Wen hadn't dared to touch the Blue Silver Emperor because Tang Hao was nearbyâwho knew if he occasionally came back to check? If he discovered his precious treasure missing, he'd go berserk and drag Ye Wen into trouble!
So before he was fully grown, Ye Wen refrained from taking any reckless actions.
Now, Tang Hao, being the idiot he was, would surely stay hidden in the shadows to protect Tang San.
And Tang Hao, that pauper, definitely didn't own any soul-guiding tools capable of storing living creatures. Thus, the Blue Silver Emperor couldn't be carried around. As for the soul bone, it was hard to sayâit was partly a gambleâbut given Tang Hao's personality, it likely wasn't on him either.
After all, a complete hundred-thousand-year soul bone was too large to carry conveniently. Moreover, Tang Hao, that poor excuse for a man, had neither the habit of robbing ordinary people nor any valuables leftâhe'd sold everything for alcohol long ago. So it was highly unlikely he had it on him.
Ye Wen had always wondered why Tang Hao, who was secretly protecting Tang San, didn't just give him the soul bone ahead of time. Doing so would've compensated for Tang San's physical deficiencies and significantly increased the absorption limit for his first soul ring.
Though the original work didn't specify how much each soul bone could increase the absorption limit, a hundred-thousand-year soul bone should at least add ten thousand years. That way, Tang San's initial Blue Silver Grass could've started with a 9,999-year soul ring instead of being reduced to a semi-useless state like now.
If Tang Hao had given him the soul bone, Tang San, being the filial son he wasâcapable of cooking porridge for his useless father shortly after learning basic self-careâwould've undoubtedly worked harder. Tang Hao could've explained the family feud and urged Tang San to train harder. Wouldn't that have been better than relying on Yu Xiaogang as a teacher?
Instead, Tang Hao was sneaking around like a pervert, clearly drunk on stupidity.
The more Ye Wen analyzed this, the more his lips twitched uncontrollably. He couldn't understand what kind of bizarre species Tang Hao belonged to. Without Tang San carrying him to success, how could he possibly end up as the plane's ruler twenty thousand years later? Surviving to old age would've been a miracle.
To prevent future tragedies, Ye Wen decided it was best not to let Tang San grow stronger.
Having laid a solid foundation, he would start by dealing with Tang San's mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, and the soul bone.
Not long after, Ye Wen and Dugu Bo found the cave beneath the waterfall.
Slowly channeling a bit of soul power to illuminate the cavern, Ye Wen looked at the sickly-growing Blue Silver Emperor inside and felt a strange pang in his heart.
Without thinking, Ye Wen sighed. He didn't rush to search for the soul bone but instead carefully dug out the Blue Silver Emperor along with the soil.
"Poor, naive girl," Ye Wen murmured softly. "Is it truly love if someone plants you in this dark, desolate place without knowing what you truly need?"
