"Another day has passed..."
Li Yu sweated as he looked at the flashing prompts in front of him. He only slightly reacted, without taking any further action.
"Just a little bit more, hold on!"
He kept telling himself in his mind to keep going!
The poison in Dugu Bo body was even more complex and pervasive than he had imagined!
Every strand of soul power, every piece of flesh and blood within him, had almost been infected by that toxin!
Originally, Li Yu thought that with the "Spirit's Adornment" activated at the level of 100,000 years and its 'Absorption' ability, it wouldn't be too difficult to solve the toxic invasion.
And indeed, the actual situation was as expected.
However, the reason why this "detoxification" process had taken three months was precisely because of the transformation of the "Spirit's Adornment" at the 100,000-year level!
It wasn't that Li Yu made a wrong choice or that the improvement in absorption efficiency wasn't helpful.
It was the change in the "Absorption" skill itself.
Before the transformation of "Absorption," when the skill was still at the level of "Absorption Fang," it could only absorb toxins and convert them into soul power to increase Li Yu soul power level.
But after the transformation, "Absorption" could absorb all kinds of elemental power to enhance his soul power.
On the surface, this didn't seem like a big deal, since toxins were also a part of elemental power.
But the difference lay in the fact that before the transformation, "Absorption" would only absorb the "harmful" toxins.
After the transformation, however, it would absorb everything!
This led to an awkward situation—originally, when Li Yu used "Absorption" on Dugu Bo, it would only absorb the "dangerous elements" in his body.
Now, it was even absorbing the "beneficial" toxins that were part of Dugu Bo cultivation!
In other words, originally to detoxify Dugu Bo, Li Yu just needed to insert the "manicure" and casually increase his soul power.
But now, he had to expend most of his energy to control the 'Absorption,' even lowering its efficiency to avoid draining Dugu Bo, a top-tier fighter, dry.
The process was exhausting and painful.
But the rewards were considerable!
In the first month of detoxification, his soul power had already smoothly reached level 60!
And it had accumulated a total of "75,000 years" of free allocation time.
Afterward, knowing that the "overflowing" soul power wouldn't be wasted and would continue to accumulate, and estimating that it wouldn't be enough to reach the 70th level, he hadn't stopped detoxifying to hunt or condense soul rings to advance to Spirit Emperor.
Of course, an even more important reason was that daily reward settlements were based on level stages, not the number of soul rings.
This allowed Li Yu to remain steady.
And now, he had accumulated "258,000 years" of free allocation time, meaning once this was over, his strength would undergo a qualitative transformation!
In fact, if he wished, he could now directly upgrade three of his soul rings to the 100,000-year level!
Just then…
"Puff!"
A strange sound suddenly echoed from within Dugu Bo body.
Then, the ten "carapace pieces" embedded in his back were pushed out forcefully.
At that moment, a terrifying aura erupted uncontrollably from Dugu Bo body!
Li Yu was thrown backward by the force, but luckily, he quickly activated the [Spirit Wings] and swiftly distanced himself. Moreover, since Dugu Bo had no ill will towards him, he wasn't harmed.
The detoxification was complete!
That was the first thought that flashed through his mind, but then he focused on Dugu Bo changes.
At this moment, Dugu Bo body was emitting a greenish glow, and his martial soul involuntarily released itself.
Yellow! Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!
Two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings shone in sequence, and the gigantic [Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor] appeared.
The overwhelming pressure of a Title Douluo was fully revealed!
"This old poison master's strength has likely improved because of this!"
Li Yu thought to himself, his eyes filled with joy as he looked at Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo increase in strength meant that his fighter's power had also been enhanced, and of course, Li Yu was pleased about this.
Moreover, he was confident that this time, Dugu Bo improvement would be even greater than the one he had gained from Tang San detoxification.
After all, Tang San had made Dugu Bo force the toxic Azure Scale Serpent venom into his soul bones.
To be precise, this was a temporary fix, not a fundamental solution.
Even though Tang San had gained the "Snow Swan Kiss," a rare toxic treasure herb, he hadn't, or rather, didn't dare to share it with Dugu Bo.
Instead, he used it to destroy the Slaughter City…
A proper ingrate.
But now, after three months of treatment, Li Yu had completely resolved Dugu Bo "disease"!
This was a true fundamental cure!
If Li Yu gave the "Snow Swan Kiss" to Dugu Bo now, he was sure there would be no negative effects, only an actual boost to Dugu Bo strength!
In fact, as Li Yu had expected.
Now, Dugu Bo felt a sense of unprecedented clarity in his body!
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, which had invaded every inch of his blood, flesh, and marrow, was completely gone today!
Furthermore, he could feel his martial soul undergoing a mysterious transformation!
He was horrified.
His already top-tier martial soul, the [Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor], now showed signs of a second awakening!
This was an opportunity that couldn't be measured in terms of money!
Besides that.
Upon careful examination, he found that his cultivation, which had stagnated for many years, had now directly leaped from level 91 to level 93!
It's important to note that after reaching Title Douluo, soul power progression becomes extremely difficult.
Not only does it require deep understanding of one's martial soul, but the accumulation of soul power also increases exponentially!
Without special opportunities, resources, or treasures, each level's improvement is incredibly difficult.
This was especially true for someone of his advanced age and as a high-ranking Title Douluo!
When he had ascended to Title Douluo, he was already 70 years old!
Compared to Tang Hao and others, his talent was very poor.
He hadn't even dared to hope that he would ever break through to level 92.
But now, after Li Yu detoxified him, his soul power had increased by 2 levels!
This was a shock beyond words for Dugu Bo.
While his gratitude for Li Yu deepened, he silently swore in his heart—
If anyone wanted to harm Li Yu, they would have to step over his dead body first!
