Luo Yu reached out to tighten his suddenly loose clothes, lifting his gaze to the now calm Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
The earlier outburst had blasted out a lot of spring water, but the pool was quickly refilled. He took a deep look at the bottom of the spring, shaking his head helplessly.
Haste makes waste, he thought. He couldn't absorb any more.
Otherwise, the energy contained within his martial soul would become too great, inevitably exceeding his current ability to control it. For now, he needed to improve his soul power and increase his familiarity and control of his martial soul.
Other people worried about their martial soul's quality not being good enough, but Luo Yu dared not rashly improve the quality of his own.
Hanging the purple Ruyi treasure pouch at his waist, Luo Yu focused his mind, forming a hand seal. Behind him, a tattered, dark-green flag appeared, billowing in the wind.
The flag exuded an ancient charm, and the roar of a beast echoed through the air. With a faint glow emanating from the flag, a giant Azure Scaled Serpent Emperor phantom emerged.
The Azure Scaled Serpent Emperor bared its fangs, a chilling glint in the light, and spewed green poison mist, aiming to attack the one who had imprisoned it.
Luo Yu scoffed, "Still incorrigible. If I'd known, I should have put you, you beast, in the same layer with them."
With a gesture of his hand, a complex and intricate charm seemed to appear within the Azure Scaled Serpent Emperor's phantom.
As the charm manifested, the Serpent Emperor immediately weakened, flying towards Luo Yu as if to enter his body.
Looking at the Serpent Emperor, whose aura was decent but form less so, Luo Yu's face was filled with disdain. With a flick of his finger, as if guided by invisible threads, the Azure Scaled Serpent Emperor flew directly back into the Poison Douluo's body.
With the martial soul returning to its host, the Poison Douluo's unconscious body erupted with power. The strength of a Title Douluo returned to him, and his aura visibly swelled.
"Sigh, if it weren't for safety's sake, this young master wouldn't have wasted blood essence to use 'Binding Spirit, Sending General' on you."
Luo Yu seemed rather distressed, but then he thought of his gains and felt some comfort.
The morning sun rose, its red rays generously showering the tender, immature herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
"Cough, cough."
Dugu Bo sat up abruptly, bewildered, and rubbed his throbbing forehead as if trying to remember something. He sprang to his feet, his eyes darting around warily.
However, the place was deserted. The soil and rocks around the edge of the scorching hot spring and the freezing cold spring had been blown apart. Over a dozen immortal herbs, whose properties he couldn't identify, had all been harvested.
"Strange, why didn't the thief take my life?" Dugu Bo didn't immediately fly into a rage, but instead secretly rejoiced that he was still alive.
Clang
Looking down at the object his foot had kicked, he saw a letter and a bottle containing a mixture of red and blue liquid.
He tore open the envelope, and Dugu Bo's body trembled.
"Your condition is due to the poison inherent in your beast martial soul. Each time you use your martial soul, the poison enters your body. Over time, it seeps into your bone marrow, becoming incurable."
"I will now give you a method of treatment: Consume this potion, three drops daily, for thirty days. In the future, during cultivation, inject all the poison associated with your martial soul into your Soul Bone to prevent the accumulation of poison in your body."
"Let it be known beforehand, it's an equal trade. I take your things, I save your life. We owe each other nothing."
Dugu Bo's eyes were complex. He looked at the now-empty valley, his emotions a jumbled mix, unsure of what to say.
He clutched the small bottle in his hand, and finally sighed softly.
After a long hesitation.
"Even if it's a drop of poison, what harm can it do to me?"
Dugu Bo cautiously took a drop of the potion and put it in his mouth. His face instantly flushed red and blue. Soon, his aura exploded, and then his lips curled into a smile. He then looked into the distance, brow furrowed in thought.
"What exactly is this person's background? Not only does he know a lot about me, but his strength is also strangely extraordinary, and his age is terrifyingly low. Moreover, his methods are completely different from those old schemers I know."
Inside the Shui family reception hall in Skywater City.
Shui Binger and Shui Yueer, a pair of sisters, had abandoned their usual style. They were now clad in tight, white, practical outfits that hugged their bodies. Their smooth hair was all tied back in high ponytails, making them appear quite dashing and spirited.
The two women stood behind Shui Dongsheng, their beautiful eyes glaring at the opposite side. They stared at the young man and woman standing behind the red-haired, burly man, as if they wanted to spit fire.
"Brother Shui, it's been a long time since we met back at Heaven Dou City the year before last. Your strength seems to have improved again?" The red-haired man had a booming voice and laughed heartily.
"You flatter me. There's no improvement on my part. Brother Huo, you are still as impressive as ever. It seems you're even closer to becoming a Title Douluo." Shui Dongsheng said gently.
"I wonder, Brother Huo, what brings you here this time?"
Huo Xiao was about to speak when he felt someone tugging at his clothes. A tall young woman in a golden-red uniform stepped forward. Her long, dark red, wavy hair cascaded down to her waist, and her eyes, which sparkled with a faint silver light, were filled with pride.
"Uncle Shui, it was me who pestered my father to bring me to Skywater City!"
Shui Dongsheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Little Huo Wu, you've grown so much! I've often heard Binger mention you. Seeing you now, you've become even more beautiful."
Huo Wu opened her red lips and said crisply, "I heard that Sister Binger suppressed her soul power and was reluctant to break through for a long time. Now that she has obtained a Soul Ring and her strength has greatly increased, I came here in a hurry to spar with her."
Shui Dongsheng looked at Huo Xiao. The other party shrugged his shoulders and raised his thick eyebrows at him, shaking his head and saying nothing, seemingly tacitly agreeing to his daughter's actions.
Shui Yueer pouted her small mouth behind her and whispered into Shui Binger's ear, "Sister, this girl clearly wants to probe your specific strength before school starts, to prepare for the Five Element Academies' competition."
Shui Binger smiled gently and replied softly, "It may not be so complicated. Perhaps she simply wants to beat me."
As the first family in Skywater City, the Shui family naturally had a training ground.
In the center of the training ground, which was similar in size to a small playground, Huo Wu, with her dark red wavy hair, and Shui Binger, with her sky-blue hair, stood facing each other. Besides Shui Dongsheng and his daughters and Huo Xiao and his son, there were shadows of people in the distance, and many people were watching the battle.
Huo Wu's mood was somewhat complicated as she faced the calm and collected Shui Binger.
At thirteen and a half years old, she had cultivated to nearly the thirtieth rank. Without any herbs, her soul power was exceptionally pure. Aside from Feng Xiaotian, that freak with innate full soul power, she could be considered the most talented female soul master among the Five Element Academies.
However, many academy teachers believed that Shui Binger and her sister had far superior talent, which made Huo Wu, who was proud and arrogant, quite dissatisfied.
Previously, although she had won against Shui Binger in a battle, everyone knew that the other party had been delaying their breakthrough to obtain a suitable soul ring. Even though Huo Wu won when Shui Binger was at two rings against her one, she still felt awkward.
Now that she knew Shui Binger had broken through, she hurriedly brought her father and brother over.
"Are you ready? Then let's begin," Huo Wu said, a surge of fighting spirit rising within her.
Shui Yueer watched the battle on the stage, worriedly looking at her sister. She believed in her sister's talent and strength, but Huo Wu on the other side was also talented and was almost two years older than her sister.
For some reason, Luo Yu's handsome profile flashed in her mind again. She bit her lip, wondering if that rascal would be alright when he went out to awaken his martial soul…
