"Let me take a look."
Dugu Bo summoned his Martial Soul and sensed its condition: "My Martial Soul is still the Bi Lin Snake Emperor, but there's an indescribable change within me."
The dark green color of his Bi Lin Snake remained unchanged, but the scales had become denser and softer, with a faint fluorescent layer covering the surface upon closer inspection.
"This shouldn't be the case!"
Li Xun frowned: "After consuming an Immortal Herb, you only gained one level of Soul Power. That's clearly not right."
"Please sense it more carefully."
The Dragon's Tear was supposed to help Dugu Bo break through his bottleneck in Soul Power, clearly not an auxiliary-type Immortal Herb. However, Li Xun observed that Dugu Bo's demeanor had changed, but there were no other significant improvements.
Dugu Bo nodded and then delved into a deeper state of perception.
Not long after.
A sudden surge of astonishing energy erupted from Dugu Bo.
This energy wasn't Soul Power, but spiritual power.
This spiritual power was immensely strong, instantly causing Li Xun and Dugu Yan to tremble and freeze in place.
The spiritual power Dugu Bo unconsciously emitted didn't harm their physical bodies but only exerted a soul-crushing pressure.
"Did this Immortal Herb elevate the old poison master's spiritual level?" Li Xun struggled to move his finger.
The reason he was overwhelmed by Dugu Bo was mainly due to the suddenness of the event.
After a brief period of adaptation, Li Xun could now slightly move his body.
It seems that with Dugu Bo's current spiritual level, he can't harm me.
Through the pressure, Li Xun could vaguely sense his own Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
Perhaps due to having died twice, he felt his sea of consciousness was vast and boundless, with the light within it as blinding as the scorching sun.
Li Xun turned his head to look at Dugu Yan: "Don't panic."
Dugu Yan was trembling all over, her eyes darting around, unable to move. Seeing Li Xun turn to look at her, her pupils instantly contracted.
Seeing this, Li Xun grinned, revealing his white teeth, and slowly stood up from the chair under the pressure.
This was also a great opportunity for cultivation.
The pressure acted on the spirit and soul. Once he adapted to this oppression, he wouldn't be as immobilized as before when encountering similar dangers in the future.
After all, in life-and-death battles, a single moment could determine one's fate.
Moreover, absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring required enduring soul tremors, making this a good training opportunity.
Dugu Bo's spiritual pressure didn't last long.
When he became familiar with his changes, he opened his eyes to see Li Xun doing push-ups.
"What are you up to now, kid?"
Li Xun smiled and slowly stood up: "Just exercising a bit."
Dugu Bo gave him a suspicious look but didn't press further, stretching his body: "Kid, I feel like my spiritual power has been enhanced."
Dugu Bo was in a very good mood.
His Eighth Soul Skill, Time Freeze, and his Soul Bone Skill, Medusa's Gaze, consumed not only Soul Power but also spiritual power.
This enhancement in spiritual power was undoubtedly a significant boost for him.
"Congratulations, Grandpa Dugu."
Li Xun smiled and fetched a towel from the bathroom, handing it to Dugu Yan, who was covered in cold sweat.
"What's wrong with Yan Yan?" Dugu Bo asked with concern.
"Grandpa, the spiritual power you released unconsciously earlier was too overwhelming."
Dugu Yan's voice carried a hint of grievance, her beautiful eyes involuntarily glancing at Li Xun.
She had just been immobilized by the spiritual pressure, yet Li Xun was still able to train under such immense spiritual oppression.
What a monster!
Dugu Bo wore a flattering smile: "Hehe, Grandpa didn't mean to..."
He only had this one granddaughter, whom he usually doted on endlessly. He never expected that his breakthrough would almost harm Dugu Yan.
Watching the harmonious grandfather and granddaughter, Li Xun revealed a faint smile.
Although he had his own motives for getting close to them, the outcome was still acceptable.
Li Xun had his selfishness, but he was definitely not the type of person who was extremely self-centered. Now that the poison in their bodies was no longer an issue, their strength had also improved thanks to the Immortal Herb.
Li Xun felt that what he had done was probably a tiny bit better than Tang San.
This world of comparisons.
Thinking back to that day in the Soul Hunting Forest when Tang San pointed the Sleeve Arrow at him.
Li Xun sighed inwardly. He still needed to quickly improve his strength.
Even if Tang San had marked him for death, he would need to surpass him in strength first.
But with the Grandmaster's theory backing him, Tang San had lost his opportunities, and the Blue Silver Grass was likely useless now.
Among the many opportunities, the Yin Yang Well had already been intercepted by him.
What remained were the Eight Spider Lances, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, the Blue Silver King, and the Wisdom Skull from the Soul Master Competition.
Shrek Academy was left with only five monsters, and whether they could participate in the Soul Master Competition was still a question.
He could try killing a few Man-Faced Demon Spiders for the Eight Spider Lances.
The Blue Silver King could be considered as his Spirit Ring. As for how to absorb it, that would require the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!
A Yin's leg bone had an incredibly strong self-healing ability and could also be used to heal others. Tang Hao's severed limb was restored by Tang San using the Soul Bone skill.
This Soul Bone might be useless to others, but for Li Xun, it was extremely powerful.
He had the self-healing and healing abilities of Wood Release. If he could stack that with the Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone...
As long as he didn't immediately explode from the Spirit Ring absorption, he should be able to survive.
The most crucial thing was the flight ability that came with the leg bone.
He was already fed up with traveling with Dugu Bo and the Sword Douluo!
Dispelling his thoughts, Li Xun didn't disturb Dugu Bo's family happiness any further.
It was almost dawn.
Dragging his exhaustion, Li Xun slowly opened the door to his dorm room.
He hadn't slept for a day and a night.
Dugu Bo had brought him back in such a hurry, and being carried to block the wind was uncomfortable. Now, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Creak
Pushing the door open and closing it behind him, Li Xun walked slowly to the bed by the moonlight.
"Why are you two in my room?" Li Xun casually threw his coat onto the chair.
By the moonlight, he could clearly see two small heads peeking out from the bed.
"This is our room!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were wrapped in the blanket, their eyes watery as they looked at him.
Li Xun was stunned for a moment, then looked around and pointed at a few items on the bedside table: "Ning Rongrong, are you itching for a spanking? My things are all here."
For a moment, he had even doubted whether he had entered the wrong room.
"Brother, have you forgotten? This was originally my room!" Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around as she muttered softly.
When they first arrived at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, this room had been hers.
It was just that she was too scared and insisted on staying with Li Xun, so this dorm room had been left empty.
Later, Zhu Zhuqing arrived, and the two of them drove Li Xun out of their own space and into this vacant dorm room.
"Haha, you think I'm a mouse that you can chase around everywhere," Li Xun sneered, a slender branch appearing in his hand. "I originally brought gifts for both of you, but now the gifts are gone. All that's left is this."
He casually waved the branch in the air, creating a whooshing sound.
Zhu Zhuqing, after all, wasn't as thick-skinned as Ning Rongrong.
Blushing, she slowly lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was only wearing her nightgown, which perfectly accentuated her flawless curves.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing walk up to him, Li Xun's branch-waving weakened slightly.
"Spending too much time with Rongrong has even started to corrupt you."
