**Chapter 110: Dugu Bo Lowered His Pride to Seek Help from Chrysanthemum Douluo**
"I'm very happy that my two disciples led the Martial Soul Hall Team to victory in this Soul Master Competition!"
"I am so proud of you as your teacher!"
"Today, on this day of achievement and celebration, I also officially announce something!"
"From today onward, Gu Ziyi will be named the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Hall!"
Following the victory of the Golden Generation Team, Qian Xunji gave another speech.
This time, he took advantage of this special day to canonize Gu Ziyi as the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Hall.
From then on, his second disciple would truly hold the same status as Bibi Dong.
She not only had the status of the Pope's disciple as his junior brother but had long been canonized as the Holy Maiden.
However, Gu Ziyi had not enjoyed this privilege, only holding the status of the Pope's disciple.
This also signified that Qian Xunji genuinely recognized him as his disciple and not just a tool.
All of this was achieved by Gu Ziyi himself.
Qian Xunji initially hadn't paid much attention to his second disciple, only seeing him as a tool to assist Bibi Dong in her cultivation and for convenience.
Over the years, he earned Qian Xunji's true recognition through his excellence.
Everyone was a bit surprised by Gu Ziyi's canonization as Holy Son, but no one opposed it.
Given Gu Ziyi's outstanding performance, it would have been odd if he wasn't canonized as Holy Son.
After Qian Xunji made this announcement, he once again brought out the two soul bones and awarded them to the Martial Soul Hall Team.
Upon their return, the two soul bones were unsurprisingly allocated to Gu Ziyi and Bibi Dong.
None of the other team members objected.
They understood well that the Martial Soul Hall Team's championship victory was entirely due to the leadership of those two.
Being part of the champion team was already a great honor for them!
Moreover, they knew very well that those two soul bones were originally prepared by Pope Qian Xunji for his two disciples.
No matter how greedy they were, trying to claim these soul bones for themselves would be futile.
After the Soul Master Competition ended, the teams that came to participate gradually left Spirit City.
Ning Shuangjiang didn't leave with the Heaven Dou Imperial Team but instead accompanied Ning Fengzhi and his group.
After the Soul Master Competition, she chose to graduate directly from the academy; there was no longer a need to stay there.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but glance toward the Pope's Palace.
In recent days, she hadn't had the chance to meet Gu Ziyi personally again, so she had to set it aside for now.
"I'll keep practicing diligently when I return and strive to reach Level 30 as soon as possible!"
"If Gu Ziyi can do it, I believe I can achieve it too!"
When Yu Xiaogang left, he turned and looked deeply in the direction of the Pope's Palace.
This trip to witness the Soul Master Competition brought him many unexpected revelations.
The most shocking was about Gu Ziyi.
He originally thought his rival was still as incompetent as he had been years ago, progressing at a slow pace, so he might even surpass him in the future.
However, the reality was that Gu Ziyi's cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds, advancing directly to a Soul Ancestor's cultivation level as soon as new news arrived.
This alone was hard for him to accept.
Who would have thought that Gu Ziyi would later display talents in areas many Titled Douluo could not master, such as Domain skills? Could Yu Xiaogang not feel envious?
In the end, he even defeated his former idol Tang Hao in a one-on-one battle, against all odds.
With his Level 40 Soul Ancestor cultivation, he defeated Tang Hao, a Level 54 Soul King.
Now thinking about it, Yu Xiaogang's heart was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
It was evident that they were originally equals in talent, both losers with only innate Level 1 Soul Power. But Gu Ziyi had subverted this notion and become a monster that many geniuses couldn't rival.
Although he didn't want to admit it, judging by Gu Ziyi's performance, he truly was a monster—more gifted than ordinary geniuses.
Just like Shrek among Soul Beasts, a monster among monsters!
"I'm currently at Level 25. Give me another two years, and I'm sure I can reach Level 30!"
"If Gu Ziyi can do it, so can I."
After secretly cheering himself up again, Yu Xiaogang left with the Thunder Team members without looking back.
When he arrived here, he was with the Thunder Team. He didn't dare to stay alone.
The force behind the Thunder Team is the Blue Tyrant Dragon Sect, so there would be no problem for him to join the team.
"Dad, aren't we leaving now?"
Basically, all the teams that came to participate or visit the Soul Master Competition had already left.
However, two people still remained at this moment; they were also father and son.
They were Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, and Dugu Xin, the captain of the Tiandou Royal Team.
Like Ning Shuangjiang, he graduated from the Tiandou Royal Academy right after the Soul Master Competition ended.
Originally, he had planned to register for graduation after returning, but Dugu Bo took his place and spoke to the team's teacher, so the registration was approved without waiting for his return to the Tiandou Royal Academy.
"Well, we're going to a place soon, and I'll take you to meet someone!" Dugu Bo informed his son.
Seeing that the green in his son's eyes was even worse than his own, Dugu Bo felt an extremely heavy weight in his heart.
But this also strengthened his thoughts.
He was going to ask Douluo Chrysanthemum how he knew about his poisoning.
He was sure that his enemy didn't discover it on his own; otherwise, Douluo Chrysanthemum wouldn't have waited until now to laugh at him.
So, he guessed that Douluo Chrysanthemum must have known about it through someone else.
What Dugu Bo was looking for was the other party who informed his enemy.
Since the other party could say that he was poisoned and knew it was by his own Martial Soul, then the other party probably had a solution that could help him resolve it.
If it were just him, he wouldn't have asked Douluo Chrysanthemum.
But since his son, Dugu Xin, was involved in the situation, he felt there was nothing wrong with asking his enemy for help.
After having this idea, he didn't want to wait any longer.
Although his son, Dugu Xin, wasn't as good as him in cultivation, he wasn't much weaker than him in skills with poison.
And that was the most dangerous part of his situation.
Even with such a high cultivation level, he couldn't resist his own poisonous abilities.
His son certainly couldn't resist it even more!
Therefore, his son's poisoning was even more severe than his own.
"Old Poison, you really came to see me?"
When Douluo Chrysanthemum found out that Dugu Bo specifically came to see him, he was obviously very surprised.
This Old Poison still wants to be ridiculed by him?
"Xin'er, greet Senior Yue!"
Dugu Bo first asked Dugu Xin to respectfully greet him.
When Dugu Xin heard his father, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at him, incredulously.
'What's going on here?'
'Isn't this person your enemy?'
'Don't you get angry when enemies meet?'
'Why did you ask me to greet him respectfully?'
"Senior Yue!"
However, even though he was confused, Dugu Xin obediently called Douluo Chrysanthemum "Senior."
"Old Poison, what's going on with you?"
"This doesn't seem like your usual behavior?"
Not only was Dugu Xin puzzled, but Douluo Chrysanthemum was also quite curious when he saw Dugu Bo's current behavior and felt a slight chill.
He wasn't used to this kind of behavior from Dugu Bo!
He was still accustomed to the rebellious look Dugu Bo used to give him.
"Yue Guan, I came here to ask you a favor!" Dugu Bo looked directly at Douluo Chrysanthemum with an unnatural expression on his face, but still took a deep breath and spoke in a sincere tone.
"Oh? It turns out you need something from me, no wonder you're acting this way~"
Only then did he understand, his tone full of mockery as he asked: "Come on, Old Poison, tell me~. What do you want from me?"
"Remember to be more sincere~!"
Yue Guan teased Dugu Bo.
"Your Majesty Yue Guan, I want to know how you knew I was poisoned? I would like to be introduced to the person who knew about my poisoning!"
Facing Yue Guan, who had a bad attitude towards him, Dugu Bo's fists itched for a fight. However, thinking about his son's condition, he still adjusted his attitude and asked his enemy sincerely.
"Hey, Old Poison, weren't you unwilling to admit you were poisoned before?"
"Hahaha~"
After hearing Dugu Bo's words, Yue Guan immediately bowed and laughed hysterically.
He felt that this was truly a great moment, Dugu Bo actually used an honorific title when addressing him, something he never imagined would happen!
He knew that Dugu Bo must be feeling extremely hurt at this moment, and as he thought about it, he felt even happier!
"Your Majesty, Yue Guan!"
Dugu Bo lowered his head, feeling his face was hot and embarrassed.
If he didn't have a favor to ask from Yue Guan, even knowing that the other party had become a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo would not have been able to avoid fighting him again.
Even if he was beaten, it would be far better than his current situation.
In the last battle between him and Yue Guan, he was basically tortured from how badly he was beaten.
Even if Yue Guan controlled his power to the level of a Douluo, he was no longer someone who could compete with him at the cultivation level of a Douluo.
After all, a Title Douluo is a Title Douluo.
"Haha, how nice!"
"Old Poison, I truly feel your sincere attitude."
"I'll take you to His Highness, the Holy Son, right now!"
Yue Guan understood what Dugu Bo was concerned about. After laughing for a while, he spoke to him, saying he would take him.
For him, the joy that Dugu Bo brought him today was enough to entertain him for a long time.
And he believed that after this time, Dugu Bo would be ashamed of being so arrogant in front of him. His long-time enemy would probably avoid him when they met in the future.
Hahahahahaha...
Yue Guan was extremely happy thinking about this.
"So it's actually His Highness, the Holy Son!"
"He saw that my son was poisoned, right?"
Dugu Bo was shocked upon hearing this. He didn't expect that Yue Guan had actually discovered it through Gu Ziyi.
At the same time, he thought that the boy might have seen the situation because of Dugu Xin, so Yue Guan suspected him based on his son's condition.
"No!"
"His Highness, the Holy Son, told me that if the poison of a Martial Soul is too strong, the Soul Master themselves might not be able to control it and end up poisoning themselves."
"After learning this from His Highness the Holy Son, I thought of your eyes, so I became suspicious that you might be poisoned!"
Yue Guan shook his head and truthfully told his enemy.
"I see!"
After hearing this, Dugu Bo realized he had guessed wrong, but it didn't matter, the person behind Yue Guan was indeed Gu Ziyi.
And since the boy knew that a Soul Master would be unable to control the poison of their own Martial Soul, he probably knew how to resolve this situation.
"Your Majesty Yue Guan, please take us to see His Highness, the Holy Son!"
After regaining his thoughts, Dugu Bo quickly spoke.
"Come with me!"
Yue Guan simply asked them to follow and said nothing more, turning and leading the way.
"Xin'er, follow me!"
Seeing this, Dugu Bo called his son and quickly followed his enemy's lead.
"Father, what the hell is going on?"
"Is there a solution for our poison?"
Dugu Xin probably understood his father's behavior at this moment, and his tone became a little excited.
The poison of his own Martial Soul had always troubled him, but he had always suffered from the lack of a solution for it.
"Well, His Highness the Holy Son might know something!"
"I hope he doesn't disappoint us!"
Dugu Bo nodded.
He was also a little excited at this moment.
Especially after learning that the person behind Yue Guan was actually Gu Ziyi, he became more confident.
It was after coming to the Spirit City this time that he met Gu Ziyi, one of the Pope's disciples.
But in less than half a month, it was enough for him to completely understand the boy.
That's why he was so excited to learn that the person behind his enemy was actually Gu Ziyi.
Because he also knew how intelligent the boy was.
This could be seen from the Tang Yuehua incident.
…
"Soul Bone Skill – Flying!"
In the room, Gu Ziyi held a piece of soul bone and then used the soul skill that the bone possessed on a blank talisman.
Buzzing—
He saw a white light falling onto the blank talisman that was below the soul bone.
After the white light fell on the talisman, several inscriptions suddenly flashed on the blank talisman.
Poof~
In the next second, the blank talisman completely disappeared with a bang.
"It sure doesn't work yet!"
Gu Ziyi sighed a little disappointed when he saw this, but he was mentally prepared for this outcome.
"I think everything will be fine after I am promoted to a Soul King!"
"Then let's keep this soul bone safe for now!"
Then Gu Ziyi stored the soul bone in his soul guide.
"His Highness the Holy Son, Elder Chrysanthemum is here to visit you!"
Just when Gu Ziyi put away the soul bone, Yu Long's voice came from outside.
"Teacher Yue Guan? Please ask teacher Yue Guan to come in!"
When Gu Ziyi learned that it was Yue Guan who was looking for him, he quickly allowed him entry.
Creak ~
"Elder Chrysanthemum, please come in!"
The door was opened and Yu Long's respectful voice sounded from the door.
Then Yue Guan was seen entering.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, I did not congratulate you on being canonized as the Holy Son! Your Highness is becoming more and more admirable as time goes by!"
As soon as Yue Guan entered, he smiled familiarly at Gu Ziyi.
"I still haven't congratulated Professor Yue Guan on being promoted to Elder as well!"
Gu Ziyi still called Yue Guan Teacher Yue Guan, because of the closeness he had with the man.
"Haha, we are both congratulating each other, this is a joyous occasion!"
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Your Highness. If it weren't for that Immortal Grass, I wouldn't have been able to break through Titled Douluo so quickly!"
Yue Guan said with a smile.
Afterwards, he spoke directly about why he was coming to look for him.
"Your Highness, do you know Dugu Bo?"
"I came this time because Dugu Bo came to me. He wants to ask you a favor.Would Your Highness like to see him?
