Tian Dou Imperial Palace, in the Snow Night Palace.
Yang Wudi examined Xue Ye's condition, and solemnly said, "Perhaps he's been poisoned again. At this rate, he won't last the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn."
"Is there any hope for him?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Old monster, if you use poison to counteract poison, you might extend his life by a few hours. However, if those few hours don't heal him, he will surely die."
"Are you confident?"
"Yes, we need to bring him to our clan for treatment."
"Alright."
At this moment, in the Martial Soul Hall.
The spies near the palace reported to Qianren Xue, whose face looked grim, "The plan has completely failed."
Qianren Xue's feelings were complex, hating Ye Yu but unable to hate completely.
Pretending to be Xue Qinghe and hiding in the royal family for so long, success was in sight, only to be thwarted by Ye Yu.
"Saintess, Emperor Xue Ye is likely doomed."
Qianren Xue smiled bitterly, "That Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo are both skilled in using poison. Even if they can't cure him, there's still Tang San. Since Xue Ye has been taken away, it means there is hope."
Qianren Xue's expression was sour; not only did the plan fail, but two Titled Douluo also died.
Qianren Xue ordered, "Have all Martial Soul Hall soul masters hidden in the royal family return. The plan has failed, remaining there would only be dangerous."
"Yes!"
...
At this time, the Master spoke solemnly, "Since Qianren Xue has the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul, she must be the daughter of the previous Pope. Her talent is unexpectedly superior, even surpassing Bibi Dong."
Bibi Dong was more exceptional than Tang Hao, breaking Tang Hao's record to become the youngest Titled Douluo. Yet Qianren Xue is even more outstanding, which is not good news for them.
Master speculated, "Qianren Xue should be around twenty-four years old, reaching the seventy-third rank already, truly terrifying. The most troublesome part is the six soul bones that Martial Soul Hall has passed down for thousands of years. She can disguise herself so perfectly without revealing her aura because of a soul bone with camouflage soul techniques. If all six soul bones are bestowed upon her, her strength will become even more terrifying. Each of these six soul bones is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years old. Together, they can become one hundred thousand year soul bones, achieving god-like status. Thus, these six soul bones are also called the Angel Divine Armor."
Flande said, "Xiao Gang, are you worried that Martial Soul Hall will soon produce two gods?"
"Yes, although Xiao Yu's terror is beyond even Qianren Xue's reach, if two gods are born, it will be dangerous."
Ye Yu said, "Then I'll enhance my strength even faster!"
Master nodded, "You still have time. After all, to acquire the Angel Divine Armor and absorb the last soul bone requires reaching a hundred-level soul power. A hundred-level is just a legend in history."
Flande said, "Xiao Yu could have killed that Qianren Xue just now. Unfortunately, she was rescued. For someone to make Xiao Yu almost unable to react, Xiao Gang, who do you think that person is?"
Master furrowed his brow, "It should be a ninety-nine level Titled Douluo, the Great Tributor of the Martial Soul Hall, one of the three former Unparalleled Douluo."
Flande was shocked, "There exists a ninety-nine level being."
Ninety-nine level is considered the strongest since there are no gods on Douluo Continent; ninety-nine level is paramount.
Master was relieved, "Fortunately, he didn't attack Xiao Yu. If he were serious, even Xiao Yu, with his remarkable defense and vitality, would be at risk. Luckily, he also fears the Apocalypse Black Dragon, so he didn't act."
Ye Yu confidently believed that he could protect himself against Qian Daoliu.
Master said, "The gap between ninety-five and ninety-six is massive; each level after ninety-six is a huge leap. The difference in strength is tripled with each level. Therefore, Qian Daoliu's power is unimaginable."
Ye Yu furrowed his brow; perhaps he underestimated the power of the ninety-nine level.
Soon, Yang Wudi sent a message through pigeon communication.
Opening the envelope and reading the contents, the Master sighed in relief.
The poison in Xue Ye was completely neutralized, but due to the long-term poisoning, his organs were severely damaged. With the support of the Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence medicine, he could live for a maximum of three to five years.
Even so, it was enough. Three to five years was adequate for the Tian Dou Royal Family to select a new heir.
Flande said, "It's fortunate their plan failed. Otherwise, with the Tian Dou Royal Family under Martial Soul Hall's control, it would have been troublesome, and there would have been no time for Xiao Yu to continue growing."
Master nodded, "Yes, controlling Tian Dou, the next step would be Xingluo, then the Upper Three Sects. Fortunately, they failed this time, even losing two Titled Douluo, so Martial Soul Hall will have to lay low for a while. This period is Xiao Yu and their time."
At this moment, Tang San returned, this operation unexpectedly fruitful. The Tang Sect added a new hall, becoming five halls. Going to Gengxin City, they obtained some precious forging materials at auction and even brought the Divine Craftsman Tower into the Tang Sect. The lord of the Divine Craftsman Tower could be called a Divine Artisan, joining because they were awestruck by the design blueprint for Tang San's Rainstorm Blossom Needle hidden weapon and wanted to research it.
The powerful hidden weapon task was entrusted to Lou Gao.
Ye Yu knew Lou Gao, a person capable of crafting the Buddha's Wrath Tanglian, even willing to sacrifice his life to accomplish it, a person worthy of respect.
Tang San, understanding what had happened, felt he needed to improve quickly, as the Tang Sect had already formed. The next phase of development was left to Titan and others.
The Master asked, "What are your plans? Where will you train?"
Tang San said, "I'll return to the Vast Heaven Sect. The cultivation of the Vast Heaven Hammer will aid me."
The Master hesitated, while Ye Yu asked, "Teacher, do you have any good suggestions?"
The Master nodded, troubled, "I do, but that place is too dangerous."
Tang San was curious, "Is there a better place? Teacher, tell us, you know we don't fear danger."
"I don't want you to take risks, the danger level there is such that even if Xiao Yu went now, it would be hazardous."
Hearing this, Tang San was surprised. What place could it be?
The Master could feel Tang San's firmer determination to go; Ye Yu knew where but couldn't disclose it.
The Master said, "I know you've already decided, so I'll inform you. I've studied why Oscar, being support, can cultivate so quickly. It's because he's faced deadly threats repeatedly over five years. Under such intense pressure, he's forced to improve continuously. Where there's danger, there's quicker advancement. Perhaps that place is most suitable for you now."
The Master continued, "It's an island inhabited by peculiar soul beasts and numerous unusual soul masters. Few in the Soul Master Realm know of this place. As for its danger, let me briefly explain. Martial Soul Hall once sent two thousand soul masters there, including five Titled Douluo, but they failed. Less than a hundred returned alive, and two Titled Douluo died. Martial Soul Hall calls it Demon Island, but I know its true name. It's called Sea God Island!"
