Chapter 123: Soul Fusion Technique
After finishing the refining of Tang Hao's undead soul, Xia Liang selected a light golden herb with a special floral scent from the Ruyi Treasure Bag and walked into Dugu Bo's room.
At this time, Dugu Bo was still lying on the bed unconscious.
Placing the potted plant with light golden herbs on the bedside table, Xia Liang sat by the bed and looked at Dugu Bo.
This light golden herb is a natural treasure, and its fragrance has a certain healing effect. Smelling it can quickly eliminate various abnormal conditions in the body.
The fragrance of the flowers entered Dugu Bo's nose along with his breathing, which at least alleviated the pain in his head caused by the backlash of his skull injury.
After a long time.
It seemed that his injuries had recovered a little under Ye Lingling's treatment. After most of the day's recuperation and the healing fragrance of the light golden herbs, Dugu Bo finally regained consciousness and he opened his eyes slightly.
It was this slight movement that immediately woke up Xia Liang, who was resting with his eyes closed beside the bed.
"Lao Deng, you're awake."
Dugu Bo regained full consciousness after hearing Xia Liang's call. Just as he was about to get up, he was suddenly tormented by a splitting headache and screamed in pain.
Xia Liang quickly supported Dugu Bo and carefully let him sit cross-legged on the bed.
His body was able to move normally, and it seemed that except for the trauma to his skull, the injuries in other parts of Dugu Bo's body were no longer serious.
"Boy, where is Tang Hao?" Dugu Bo just remembered and asked.
"Don't worry, Tang Hao is dead."
As he spoke, Xia Liang activated the external eye bone skill.
The space in front of him suddenly rotated clockwise, and then six bone-like objects with strange shapes and different colors were already in Xia Liang's hands.
"Are these soul bones?" Dugu Bo looked at Xia Liang in surprise.
"Yes. These six soul bones burst out from Tang Hao." Xia Liang said, "Now Tang Hao's body has been crushed to dust, there is no chance of him coming back to life. Lao Deng, there is no time to lose, you should quickly absorb these soul bones."
As he spoke, Xia Liang took out a head soul bone, and then placed the remaining five soul bones on the bedside.
"I checked, the soul bones in Tang Hao's body are all over 70,000 years old. After absorbing these five soul bones, you can at least increase your soul power by two or three levels."
After hearing the news that Tang Hao was dead, and looking at the five soul bones placed on the bedside, Dugu Bo smiled with relief, but his skull started to ache because of the movement of the corners of his mouth.
Holding his head and enduring the severe pain, Dugu Bo's smile completely disappeared and his face became ugly again.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that his grandson-in-law arrived in time for the battle with Tang Hao yesterday. Otherwise, not only would his skull be injured, but his entire body might have been beaten into a pulp by Tang Hao.
"Boy, the credit for killing Tang Hao this time goes to you. If we need to absorb the soul bone, it should be you who absorbs it. Don't shirk it. Take it back."
Dugu Bo was about to return the five soul bones on the bedside table to Xia Liang, but Xia Liang stopped him.
"Old Deng, do you think we are distributing the spoils of war now? I gave you Tang Hao's five soul bones to absorb in order to deal with the revenge of the Haotian Sect in the future."
"The mountain has been closed for many years. In addition to the sect master, there must be other members of the Haotian Sect who have been promoted to Titled Douluo. Although Tang Hao has been expelled from the Haotian Sect, he is a genius of the sect after all. Do you think the Haotian Sect will remain silent after learning of Tang Hao's death?
Xia Liang said seriously, "Once the Titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect attack together, we will not be able to defeat them with our martial soul fusion skills."
"After thinking it over, the only way to deal with this situation is for you to absorb all of Tang Hao's soul bones. Once you are strong enough, coupled with the terrifying group combat ability of the Jade Scale Dragon King, you will have the confidence to face the revenge of the Haotian Sect."
After hearing this story, Dugu Bo suddenly realized that the Haotian Sect had two Douluo. If the current leader of the Haotian Sect was not Tang Hao, then it must be Tang Hao's brother, Tang Xiao, who was also a Titled Douluo.
Upon learning of Tang Hao's death, Tang Xiao, the current leader of the Haotian Sect, would definitely think of revenge.
The full state of the martial soul fusion skill, the powerful blue-scaled dragon emperor, can kill a level 96 titled Douluo, but the difference in soul power between the two parties in the martial soul fusion is too great, and it is impossible to maintain a long-term battle.
When the time comes, facing the siege of several Titled Douluo from the Haotian Sect, he will still have to rely on himself to turn the tide.
Dugu Bo didn't expect his grandson-in-law to think so far. It seems that only by absorbing the soul bones that burst out from Tang Hao can he have the strength to fight against the entire Haotian Sect.
"This whole thing started because of me. You helped me so much regardless of your own life, but you could only get Tang Hao's head soul bone. Boy, I really wronged you."
Dugu Bo was somewhat moved, and looking at the five soul bones placed on the bedside that were about to be absorbed by him, he also felt somewhat guilty.
"Who said this head soul bone is for me?"
Xia Liang looked at the silver-white head soul bone in his hand and smiled, "This is an 80,000-year-old head soul bone. After absorbing it, not only can you greatly improve your spiritual attributes, but you can also gain a soul bone skill that can shield your own aura and spiritual detection. Such a practical head soul bone is naturally left to Yanyan."
"You" Dugu Bo looked at Xia Liang in surprise. This was a high-aged soul bone, how come it seemed worthless in the eyes of this grandson-in-law?
Or, the grandson-in-law's feelings for his granddaughter were so deep that he was willing to give up such a high-aged soul bone?
"Boy. Are you too good to our Dugu family?" Dugu Bo said in a complaining tone.
"Lao Deng, you and Yanyan are the only relatives I have. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"
After hearing Xia Liang's words, Dugu Bo was somewhat moved. After the battle with Tang Hao, the two had become comrades-in-arms who shared life and death.
Hearing such words again now really caught Dugu Bo off guard. Especially the word "relatives", which directly hit the soft spot of his inner family affection.
"Don't be moved, the sooner the better, absorb the soul bone quickly."
Patting Dugu Bo on the shoulder, Xia Liang put the head soul bone into the silver bracelet. He had a reason for saying these touching words to Dugu Bo.
In addition to revealing some true feelings, he wanted Dugu Bo to know how good he was to the Dugu family, so that if there were any scandals with other women in the future, they would not fall out immediately.
After the negotiation, Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the bed and fused the soul bones of Tang Hao's limbs with his body one by one.
When he completed the absorption of four soul bones, together with the original Medusa skull, Dugu Bo already possessed five soul bones with a high age of more than 70,000 years.
The last piece of the 90,000-year-old torso bone merged into his body, and surging soul energy continued to burst out from Dugu Bo's body, painting the entire room emerald green.
Standing five meters away, Xia Liang used his clairvoyance to observe the changes in Dugu Bo's skeleton and various meridians.
He discovered that after collecting a complete set of six soul bones, all of Dugu Bo's bones were strengthened to the extreme, and the thickness of the soul power flowing in his body increased by at least four or five times.
If I'm not mistaken, Dugu Bo's soul power has been raised from level 92 to level 96. Relying on the soul skills of the six soul bones, his personal strength is absolutely overwhelming that of a level 95 Chrysanthemum Douluo or Ghost Douluo.
Not to mention the group combat capability.
The Green Scaled Dragon King is of true dragon bloodline. The Dragon King Poison he uses can not only rely on his domain to attack enemies in the sky, but can also extend the attack to underground with the help of the earth attribute.
In addition to water battles, Dugu Bo, whose soul power is as high as level 96 at this time, is already a hexagonal warrior, invincible below level 97.
If Haunter and Dugu Bo launch a large-scale poison fog attack together, then after the black poison fog with the medicinal power of Snow Swan Kiss is activated, Dugu Bo's Dragon Emperor Poison Fog should be able to single out a Titled Douluo at level 97.
Coupled with the state of the mighty Green Scaled Dragon King, his strength will be greatly improved. In this way, he will not have to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the Titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect.
A few days later.
night.
Tiandou City, Imperial Palace.
Prince's Palace.
After showing the gold medal given by Xue Qinghe to the guard at the door, Xia Liang pushed open the door and walked in after arriving at the prince's bedroom.
Xue Qinghe had taught him how to open the secret passage before. Following the steps, he quickly passed through the secret passage and arrived at the door of the secret room.
At this time, Xue Qinghe should have finished dealing with state affairs and entered the secret room to practice as Qian Renxue.
Xia Liang came to the palace to stay for a few days. He wanted to ask Qian Renxue to ask the worshiper Douluo in the worship hall to hunt down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as the sixth soul ring.
These past few days he had been thinking about how to explain to Qian Renxue why he had attained level 60 soul power so quickly.
After thinking about it, I think it is more reasonable to say that it was a test from God.
Even Qian Renxue's grandfather Qian Daoliu only had a vague understanding of the status of the Angel God in the God Realm. He certainly didn't know that above the Angel God, there were two great God Kings and three great law enforcement gods.
Therefore, even if Qian Daoliu wanted to question him, he did not have the knowledge to do so if he claimed to be the successor of the assessment of the two great gods or the three great gods of law enforcement.
By then, all the rules and marks of the divine examination can be talked about nonsense in the name of the inheritance of the God King.
Xia Liang was glad that he had finished reading the original novel's story line about the legends of the divine world. He knew the relationships among the gods in the divine world and some of the rules of the divine world. It would be no problem for him to use these original settings to deal with Qian Renxue or Qian Daoliu.
I just hope that this grandfather and granddaughter pair don't have any incredible skills to summon gods.
If they could invite the Angel God himself to confront him, Xia Liang felt that he could only accept his fate.
In addition, according to the description in the original novel, the Vast Sea Universe Cover, the national treasure of the Tiandou Empire, is a symbol of the inheritance of the Sea God. As long as one obtains the recognition of the Vast Sea Universe Cover, then when one goes to the Sea God Island to take the test, one will definitely take the top nine tests of the Sea God.
If his fabricated identity as the inheritor of the Divine King's Divine Examination was revealed, then he could reveal the secret of the Vast Sea Universe Cover to Qian Renxue, which would at least gain some trust.
After thinking of various excuses and possible accidents, Xia Liang placed his hand on the wall. Through a sensing mechanism similar to that of a soul power crystal ball, a crack in the door suddenly appeared in the wall.
Xia Liang walked into the secret room through the crack in the door. The next second after he stepped into the secret room, the crack in the door disappeared, and the entire secret room became empty and airtight.
Five meters ahead, a woman with long golden hair sat on a golden stone bed. She was Qian Renxue after Xue Qinghe removed her disguise.
Because the secret room is tightly closed, air circulation is poor, and the air can only be purified by relying on a few special plants placed in the surrounding corners.
Therefore, the fragrance of Qian Renxue's hair and body permeated the sluggish air, giving people the feeling of entering a woman's nest.
However, this is indeed a women's den.
Although they were calling each other brothers, Qian Renxue, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed in meditation, was indeed a real woman.
Xia Liang felt that it would be a good idea to become sworn brothers with Qian Renxue. This way, not only could he maintain his relationship with Dugu Yan, he wouldn't have to worry about Qian Renxue getting upset.
At this moment, a faint golden aura burst out from Qian Renxue's body.
Xia Liang activated his ability of clairvoyance and through her clothes and flesh, he could clearly see the flow of soul power in Qian Renxue's body. The thickness of her soul power was exactly the same as his own. It seemed that Qian Renxue had also broken through the bottleneck of level 60.
The outward breath was restrained, the meditation ended, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes, and what came into her sight was Xia Liang's pair of eyes that were seeing through things.
"Brother, have you seen enough?" Qian Renxue asked coldly.
Xia Liang closed his clairvoyance and hurriedly bowed, "Brother Xue, I didn't expect you to reach the level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor so quickly. Congratulations."
"Faster?" Qian Renxue laughed self-deprecatingly, "If you were my age, you would have already become a Soul Sage, right? In order to carry out the undercover plan in the palace, I have already neglected my Soul Master training."
"If that's the case, then why don't you give up as soon as possible, Brother Xue?" Xia Liang reminded him, "With your innate talent of level 20 soul power, you can still make up for it if you concentrate on cultivation now."
"How can it be as easy as you say?" Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly, "I have been lurking for more than ten years. If I give up now, won't all my efforts over the past ten years go to waste?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about you."
Qian Renxue stared at Xia Liang and asked curiously, "According to Sect Master Ning, you and Poison Douluo teamed up to perform the martial soul fusion technique and killed the Haotian Douluo who was famous on the continent back then. Is this true?"
"It's true. Brother Xue, you also know the relationship between Dugu Yan and me. Since Poison Douluo is Dugu Yan's grandfather, he is naturally my grandfather as well. I can't just stand by and watch when Haotian Douluo bullies me. Fortunately, Poison Douluo and I have the martial soul fusion skill, otherwise we are no match for Haotian Douluo."
After listening to Xia Liang's story, Qian Renxue smiled in amusement, "It seems that the Skeleton Martial Spirit is really not picky. My dear brother, besides Poison Douluo, can you and Dugu Yan also perform the Martial Spirit Fusion Technique?"
"This..." Xia Liang was stunned by the question.
Qian Renxue frowned. "From the moment you stepped into the secret room, the six-winged angel spirit in my body began to resonate extremely strongly. It seems that after the battle with Haotian Douluo, your strength has greatly improved. Could it be that your skeleton spirit has evolved again?"
"Not really."
Seeing Qian Renxue changing the subject of Dugu Yan, Xia Liang thought for a moment before speaking truthfully, "Brother Xue, it is said that if one's soul power is similar, the resonance of each other's martial souls can become stronger."
"You mean to say that your soul power has reached the bottleneck of level 60?"
Qian Renxue was a little puzzled. "From what I know, it seems that you only have the soul power of a fourth-ring soul master, right?"
"This is my fault. Brother Xue, I forgot to report this to you. In fact, as early as half a year ago when I entered the Death Canyon for training, I had already broken through the bottleneck of level 50, and asked Poison Douluo to help me obtain the fifth spirit ring."
Xia Liang got straight to the point and said, "The reason I came to the secret room to disturb you this time is indeed because my soul power has reached level 60 like yours, and I need to obtain the sixth soul ring to advance."
