Chapter 112 Dugu Bo and Tang Hao
As long as no one saw it, the deaths of the five burly men could only be caused by soul beasts.
Because how could a four-ring soul master have the strength to wipe out three soul kings and two soul emperors?
If she had the strength to fight across levels, plus the benefits of the martial soul fusion technique, Qian Renxue would definitely protect herself.
So there is no need to worry about revenge from Demon Bear Douluo.
Xia Liang calmly walked out of the entrance of Death Canyon. With the elder's order on him, he was not afraid of being searched or harassed by the soul masters stationed in the Spirit Hall.
After leaving Death Canyon, he took a carriage back to Tiandou City.
We have already found soul beasts such as the Shadow Lord, and have reached the bottleneck of level 50. The next step is to think about how to hunt the Shadow Lord and obtain the fifth soul ring.
Death Canyon is the territory of the Spirit Hall. It would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble if Qian Renxue asked one of the Titled Douluo, Snake Spear or Thorny Porpoise, to help.
But in Qian Renxue's eyes, his soul power was at most level 45. If she knew that he wanted to obtain the fifth soul ring, she would definitely ask why his soul power increased so quickly.
By then it would certainly not be possible to say that it was the benefits brought by absorbing multiple soul bones and devouring some undead.
Dugu Bo knew about the existence of the magic grass. Last time, he increased his soul power by one level because of the magic grass, and Dugu Yan's soul power increased by four levels.
If Dugu Bo asked why his soul power increased so quickly, he could use the magic grass as an excuse.
However, asking Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, to enter the Death Canyon to hunt soul beasts, I wonder if this will attract the attention of the Spirit Hall.
Ten days later.
Outside Tiandou City, in the sunset forest.
Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
As soon as he walked into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Xia Liang's ability of perspective enabled him to discover Dugu Bo sitting cross-legged on the shore.
What was different from the past was that this time Dugu Bo's nose and face were swollen, and he looked like he had been beaten, and was in a very miserable state.
Logically speaking, as he has evolved the blood of an earth dragon, his strength has been raised to a higher level. With the powerful defense granted by the earth dragon's earth attribute, he would not be beaten so badly even if facing a level 95 Titled Douluo.
"Senior, what happened to your injury?" Xia Liang instantly went to Dugu Bo and asked.
Dugu Bo ended his meditation. He didn't expect Xia Liang to come back suddenly. If possible, he certainly didn't want to be seen like he was beaten like a pig.
"Senior, did you have a fight with Ju Douluo?" Xia Liang asked.
Dugu Bo shook his head and sighed, "My Jade Phosphorus Snake King has awakened the dragon bloodline, and even has a domain to rely on. How can Juhuaguan hurt me so easily now? The injuries on my body were caused by other Titled Douluo."
"Let's recover from our injuries first." Xia Liang took out a green leaf from the Ruyi Treasure Bag and handed it to Dugu Bo.
This is a natural treasure that can quickly recover from injuries. It also has the effect of refreshing the mind, which is perfect for people who have just finished a fierce battle.
Dugu Bo took the green leaf, put it into his mouth and swallowed it. After regulating his breathing for a few breaths, the bruises on his face completely disappeared and the hidden injuries in his body gradually recovered.
After taking a deep breath, Dugu Bo felt his brain refreshed, as if he was reborn, and no longer felt any pain or torture.
At night, in the hazy mist.
The ice and fire Yin-Yang Eye spring water reflects the light of the stars and the moon in the sky.
Sitting cross-legged with Dugu Bo on the bank of the spring, Xia Liang asked curiously, "Senior, can you tell me now? Which Titled Douluo did you provoke during this period of time?"
"I didn't take the initiative to provoke him, but he came to me." Dugu Bo recalled what happened last night.
Just as he returned to the mansion and was about to rest, he suddenly heard a voice calling him out.
As a Titled Douluo, how could he tolerate such provocation?
So Dugu Bo ran out and chased the owner of the voice all the way to a barren mountain.
Later, Dugu Bo discovered that the owner of the voice, the face hidden under the black cloak, was actually the famous Haotian Douluo Tang Hao.
"So the injuries you just suffered were caused by Haotian Douluo?"
Xia Liang looked at Dugu Bo in confusion, "I don't understand, how are you related to Haotian Douluo? Didn't that strong man disappear into seclusion a long time ago?"
"Alas." Dugu Bo sighed dejectedly and said helplessly, "Didn't Yanyan follow the teacher from the academy to the Soto City Great Fighting Spirit Arena to train a while ago? There, she brutally abused a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master named Tang San."
"It is said that Tang San's skin and flesh were corroded and festered by the dragon poison. Fortunately, the Ye family girl's Nine Star Begonia rescued him in time, and Tang San was able to escape death. However, because the dragon poison was too strong, Tang San's right hand was still seriously injured and could not be healed. He may have sequelae in the future."
"That Tang San is none other than the son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao. His son was beaten, and he couldn't bully Yan Yan. So he came to me."
About ten minutes later.
After listening to Dugu Bo's story, Xia Liang finally figured out the whole story.
It is estimated that Tang Hao returned to the cave and found that the Blue Silver Emperor seedling and the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone were missing and could not be found anywhere, so he had to return to stay with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Therefore, during the scene where the Royal Fighting Team and the Shrek Seven Devils were fighting a team battle, Tang Hao was secretly monitoring Tang San and Xiao Wu.
During the battle of souls, Tang Hao witnessed Tang San being brutally abused by Dugu Yan. His protective nature made him rush to Tiandou City overnight to find Dugu Bo to question him.
This kind of plot also appeared in the original novel. Zhao Wuji was beaten up by Tang Hao because he abused Tang San.
"Tang Hao is indeed powerful. It seems that the rumors about him defeating several Title Douluo masters while being besieged by many Spirit Hall masters are true."
Dugu Bo said with some fear, "Thank goodness Yanyan didn't kill Tang San, otherwise not only she, but also I would have died at the hands of Tang Hao."
"Yanyan must have known her limits in the group's battle spirit at that time. Because as far as I know, Teacher Qin Ming has a friendship with Shrek Academy where Tang San is. The leaders of both teams know each other, so it is impossible for them to kill the other teammate."
Xia Liang said thoughtfully, "Four rings against three rings, Yanyan only needs to use 50% of her strength to easily defeat Tang San. The reason why she brutally abused Tang San must be because of something in the fighting spirit, Tang San was stimulated and started to kill him. Forced to do so, Yanyan used all her strength to fight, which led to the scene of her brutally abusing Tang San."
Dugu Bo sneered, "Even if it's as you said, Tang Hao doesn't care about it. He only knows that his son was beaten and seriously injured, and he wants revenge. Otherwise, where would his face as Haotian Douluo be? The strong are respected on this continent. I was beaten, and I accepted it. After all, I am not as strong as them. It's a pity that I don't know where their Haotian Sect has gone into seclusion, otherwise..."
At this point, the sinister look in Dugu Bo's eyes disappeared, and he sighed helplessly again, "Forget it. Let's just put this matter behind us. Anyway, Tang Hao won't embarrass Yanyan again."
"Senior, can you endure this humiliation?" Xia Liang clenched his fists. "It was obviously his son who was wrong, but he wants us, the victims, to suffer with him?"
"If you have the power, you can turn black into white. Boy, this is reality."
Dugu Bo shook his head bitterly, "Rather than making a big fuss, it's better to just let it go. I'll take a little loss. The matter of Yanyan brutalizing Tang San will be let alone."
"You're right. The world speaks with fists."
After going through so much, Xia Liang has deeply understood this truth. "Senior, when I break through level 70 and become a Soul Saint, I will help you to avenge your shame!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo smiled in amusement, "Boy, do you want to vent my anger for me? Tang Hao is not comparable to ordinary Titled Douluo. After the fierce battle last night, I found that Tang Hao also has a domain, and it is a domain full of murderous aura. In that murderous domain, my strength is suppressed and I can't use my full strength. Not only that, I also found that he has at least four soul bones. And the quality and age of the soul bones are better than my Medusa skull. With so many trump cards, it's no wonder that he can fight against so many Titled Douluo above his level."
"Boy, when you become a Titled Douluo, we may have a chance to defeat Tang Hao together. But if you are only a Soul Saint, you will not be able to withstand his hammer."
"Senior, have you forgotten? Under the influence of the Fusion Ring, my Skeleton Martial Soul can perform a two-in-one fusion technique with Yanyan's Martial Soul. Of course, it can also perform the same skills with your Martial Soul. When I cultivate to the Soul Saint realm, I should be able to perform a fusion technique with you. By then, will we still be unable to defeat Tang Hao?"
At this point, a look of determination flashed across Xia Liang's eyes.
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, staring at Xia Liang blankly, "From your tone, are you really going to vent your anger for me?"
"Of course. He bullied you. If there is anyone who can help you bully him back, then if that person is not Yanyan, then it can only be me!"
After hearing this story, Dugu Bo was somewhat moved.
If it's not Yanyan, then it can only be me.
In other words, besides his granddaughter, he also has a close relative?
Seeing the determination in Xia Liang's eyes, Dugu Bo realized that the person sitting and talking with him at this moment was his future grandson-in-law.
Now this grandson-in-law suddenly said that he would vent his anger for me when he became powerful enough.
Even though it was just talk, Dugu Bo was already very moved.
He could not hear his son say such words to him, nor did he have a grandson. He was content to hear it from his grandson-in-law.
There are people who protect him, and when he is bullied there are people who are willing to stand up for him. This kind of touching feeling is something Dugu Bo has never experienced before.
"Boy, you still haven't changed your way of calling me grandpa, right?" Dugu Bo suddenly said, "If you don't call me grandpa again, one day I will be killed by Tang Hao or that powerful man. You will never hear me again in this life."
Xia Liang smiled and said, "Senior, compared to Grandpa, the name Lao Deng is more suitable for you. I call you that too affectionately."
"You little brat. Let's not talk about this anymore. Where have you been during this time?" Dugu Bo looked at Xia Liang and smiled, "Tell me, have you been bullied? Before you bully Tang Hao for me, I will bully the person who bullied you for you first."
"Since I became brothers with the crown prince, and I have the Poison Douluo token you gave me, who dares to bully me?" Xia Liang said truthfully, "This time I went to the Death Canyon. There, I found a soul beast suitable to become my fifth soul ring. Senior, can you help me hunt the soul beast?"
"What? You have reached the fifty-level soul power?" Dugu Bo was a little surprised.
A few months ago, he learned that Xia Liang was a Soul Master with the fourth soul ring of ten thousand years. So when he heard about the fifth soul ring, he didn't know whether to sigh that time passed quickly or that the other party's cultivation speed was too amazing.
"Yes. Death Canyon is a natural mimicry training ground for my Skeleton Martial Soul. When I sparred with you before, I already had level 48 soul power. After more than a month of training in Death Canyon, I quickly broke through to the level 50 bottleneck. In fact, all these benefits are thanks to the Dark Magic Grass I took. This is why the Skeleton Martial Soul can awaken the dark attribute."
After listening to Xia Liang's words, Dugu Bo nodded suddenly. No wonder the aura of the Skeleton Martial Soul became so powerful. It turned out that it had eaten the magical grass with the same properties?
At this time, Dugu Bo just remembered, "Isn't Death Canyon the territory of the Spirit Hall? Boy, how did you get in? And you can come out safely?"
"How am I going to explain this to you?"
Xia Liang thought for a moment, then said with some reservation, "I applied for a warrant from the Spirit Hall Master. When I encountered difficulties from Spirit Hall masters in the Death Canyon, I took out the identity token you gave me. Those Spirit Hall masters retreated in the face of difficulties. Senior, it seems that your name is still very intimidating. If you are not available, I will find someone else."
"For me, besides Yanyan, is there anything more important than helping you hunt soul rings?" Dugu Bo stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Boy, tell me. When do you want to set out to hunt soul beasts?"
"We can set off now." Xia Liang suggested, "Senior, I found that there are no Spirit Hall spirit masters guarding the core area of Death Canyon. Why don't we fly and drop directly from the core area? This way, the Spirit Hall won't notice your presence. You are Poison Douluo, and if you attract the attention of Chrysanthemum Douluo, my existence will be exposed to the Spirit Hall."
After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Let's go. I'll take you there."
"Wait. Let me plant a plant near here first."
As he spoke, Xia Liang took out the Blue Silver Emperor seedling from the Ruyi Treasure Bag, walked to the junction of the ice spring and the fire spring of the Yin-Yang Eye, and planted the Blue Silver Emperor seedling on the ground.
"Is this plant also a kind of fairy grass?" As soon as he asked this question, Dugu Bo looked at the Blue Silver Emperor seedling with surprise, "This is actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
"Yes. However, it only has the bloodline of a 100,000-year-old plant soul beast. Its cultivation has not really reached 100,000 years."
Xia Liang stood up, brushed off the dirt in his hands and said, "I found that the ice and fire aura near the Yin-Yang Eye can make plants grow several times faster. Planting this plant with the blood of a 100,000-year-old soul beast here should speed up its cultivation."
"Okay, Senior, let's go to Death Canyon. In a few years, when I break through to Soul Saint, I will join you in dealing with Tang Hao. I promise that I will make him look even more embarrassed than you just did!"
"Boy, what you said sounds good. Let's wait until you break through to Soul Saint. Let's go. I also went through Death Canyon when I was young. It's a good opportunity to see if it has become more dangerous than before."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo grabbed Xia Liang's shoulder with his right hand. He had no flying ability, but with the help of his Titled Douluo-level soul power, he took Xia Liang into the sky and headed towards the Death Canyon.
