Chapter 45: Duguyan
Xia Liang touched the area of his dantian in amazement. The breath that had just burst out was soul power, a sign that his soul power level had increased.It was only the sixth time he had soaked in the advanced medicinal bath, and it hadn't even completed a cycle yet, but his soul power had so quickly broken through from level 29 to the bottleneck of level 30?The difference between the two is only ten days.Improve soul power by one level in ten days?It seems that although the Shui family's advanced medicinal bath is not as good as the Xuanshui Pill during the Peerless Tang Sect period, the effect is still good.At least the foundation of soul power at this level is very stable. The medicinal power accumulated day by day can be fully absorbed by the body and should not have any impact on future cultivation.Closing his eyes and feeling the growing soul power in his body, Xia Liang revealed a smile.It was indeed a breakthrough.Now he is a level 30 Quasi-Soul Master.Tomorrow Qin Ming will come to ask me whether he should join the Tiandou Royal Academy. I can discuss it with him. If the academy does not agree to my request, there is no need for me to join.Anyway, the third soul ring can only be obtained from a thousand-year-old soul beast. There are many ways to get it, and you don't necessarily have to rely on the help of the academy.The next day, morning.Tiandou Royal Academy.The first floor of the cafeteria.The spacious and noisy kitchen was filled with the aroma of oil smoke and fried meat.Including the head chef and Xia Liang, a total of twenty chefs were working hard.The harsh sound of the iron pan and spatula rubbing against each other, the noise of the chefs flipping the spoons, and the chef's commanding voice, echoed throughout the kitchen.However, among the crowd of people dressed as chefs, there was a woman with purple hair and blue eyes wearing a school uniform. She was standing behind a chef and seemed to be saying something.Not only the students of the academy, but even the servants working in the academy knew that this purple-haired and blue-eyed woman was named Dugu Yan, and she was the granddaughter of His Majesty the Poison Douluo.Even Prince Xuexing, who has the highest authority over personnel management in the academy, has to be courteous when seeing Dugu Yan.Therefore, even if Dugu Yan came to the academy kitchen, the head chef did not dare to say a word.Watching Xia Liang cooking, Dugu Yan forced a smile on her face, "Master Xia, what do you do for a living?"Xia Liang just turned his head to look at Dugu Yan, and then continued cooking.Seeing that the other party had been ignoring her, Dugu Yan was about to back off. If she hadn't wanted to fight again to avenge herself, she would definitely not have fawned on a chef in the kitchen.After reviewing the past few days, Dugu Yan has found the weakness of the Skeleton Martial Spirit's rib defense. The ribs are indeed powerful, but they are not an absolute defense.Because the bottom of the entire rib has no bone-based defense, only a thin layer of soul power protection film, which is obviously a weak point.If his poison mist could launch a strong attack on this soul power membrane from the bottom, then with a soul power gap of seven levels, the poison gas would definitely be able to penetrate into the ribs.By then, Master Xia would be tortured by the poisonous gas inside his sealed ribs, making his life worse than death.In order to verify this hypothesis and to win back her lost dignity, Dugu Yan waited at the kitchen door early in the morning.The purpose is to have another spirit fight. Anyway, I have already lost twice, and the worst result is to lose again.And the best outcome is to avenge the previous shame!"Master Xia, your job is a chef, but you are also a soul master, right? In this case, you should spend your time on cultivation, how can you bury yourself in the kitchen?"Dugu Yan used the same way she usually acted like a spoiled child with her grandfather, and said in a gentle voice, "How about this, I'll ask Prince Xuexing to let you practice as a soul master during the day, okay? But the condition is that we have another soul fight. I promise it will be the last time!"Xia Liang was stirring the wok and still ignored Dugu Yan who was talking nearby.Seeing this, the chef walked up to Dugu Yan and said in a trembling voice, "Well, um, Miss Dugu, this is the kitchen. If you have nothing to do, please leave. Don't tease our chef, okay?"Dugu Yan just looked at the chef coldly and didn't reply.But with just this one glance, the chef felt like he was doomed. Would Poison Douluo come to visit him tonight?It was almost noon and lunch had been prepared for the students. The other chefs remained in the kitchen, while Xia Liang went out alone to get some fresh air.He is a top-grade chef awarded by Prince Xuexing and the three education committee members. He can practice in the mimicry training field at night and leave his post when there is no work during the day.Dugu Yan was like a snake, once she caught her target she would cling to it tightly. She didn't even attend the morning classes and stayed in the kitchen for most of the day.Seeing Xia Liang walking out of the kitchen, she ran out too."Master Xia, are you afraid that I will find your weakness, so you don't dare to fight with me again?" Dugu Yan said tentatively.Xia Liang did not answer the question directly. He walked forward and looked around.The students who had just finished class walked towards him. Some of them greeted him warmly, "Hello, Master Xia." Some of them smiled politely and ran towards the cafeteria."Master Xia!" Dugu Yan's voice suddenly became tough.Xia Liang stopped, turned around and looked at Dugu Yan, and said responsibly, "I said it. No matter how many times we fight, you will be the loser.""Really? I don't think so."Duguyan crossed his arms and smiled sinisterly, "Your rib defense may not be unsolvable. If I concentrate all the poison mist under your feet to attack, you will definitely be poisoned by me!"Xia Liang also smiled, "If I block your mouth, can you still release the poison mist?"Dugu Yan was stunned and looked at Xia Liang in surprise.Only a soul master with the Green Phosphorus Snake spirit who has reached the strength of a Soul King can force the poisonous fog into the ground in the form of toxins, or silently inject it into the air, thereby secretly launching a large-scale poison control.I haven't reached the level of Soul King yet, so I can only spit out poison mist through my mouth.In the last spirit fight, my mouth was blocked by the huge skull metacarpal thumb, and I thought it was a coincidence, but it turns out that the other party did it on purpose?Dugu Yan looked at Xia Liang and said bitterly, "You may not be able to shut me up all the time!""Alas," Xia Liang shook his head in disappointment.Duguyan frowned, "What do you mean?""Even if I don't block your mouth, your poison can't hurt me at all."Xia Liang's expression was extremely serious. "Do you think I don't know? Mixed poison is a horrible poison skill where the toxicity of multiple toxins are mixed together, complementing and stimulating each other, and ultimately making the poison even more poisonous.""When you cast three layers of poison mist, the three colors of the poison mist were distinct and did not interfere with each other. This means that the three toxins did not affect each other, nor did they enhance each other's toxicity. How could your rubbish mixed poison break my defense?"Dugu Yan was a little surprised, "So you know poison?"
