Chapter 111: Everyone Breaks Through, The Anomaly of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well
Before dying, Ah Yin left her seed to Tang Hao.
Wildfires never extinguish, they regenerate with the spring breeze.
In other words, as the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin was essentially immortal.
Unfortunately, Su Yun and the others couldn't find the location where Tang Hao had buried Ah Yin's seed.
However, the system's current mission reward was astonishingly the very seed of Ah Yin.
After understanding this through the system, Ah Yin knew that this place, named the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, was the blessed land she had been told about.
Inside the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, there was everything needed for the growth of the Blue Silver Emperor's seed.
This revelation shocked Ah Yin, but also filled her with immense joy.
However, Ah Yin was concerned about the content of this perilous mission.
The system informed her that she had only one chance to absorb the Octagonal Xuan Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot in the spring water of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well.
Success would bring joy to all.
But failure could mean Su Yun's death in the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well.
Realizing the danger, Ah Yin advised Su Yun, but he refused.
Such a great opportunity to snatch Ah Yin from Tang Hao and give her a chance to transform earlier was not to be missed by Su Yun.
However, Su Yun was not reckless.
After restoring his strength to its peak, he searched the vicinity of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well for herbs to aid absorption.
With the power of the Blue Silver Emperor's spirit, Su Yun picked the Octagonal Xuan Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot, whose medicinal effects lasted not just ten breaths but a whole incense stick's time.
Then, Su Yun jumped into the spring of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, consuming both herbs and others.
The Taiyi Green Wood Technique circulated within Su Yun.
While being attacked by the hot and cold spring water, Su Yun did not dare to hesitate and strived to sense the intersection of the hot and cold within the spring.
That was the best place for him to absorb the power of the herbs.
...
An hour passed.
In a corner of the Sunset Forest.
Zhu Zhuqing was the first to open her eyes.
Joy filled her eyes upon awakening!
Originally, she only had a soul power level of twenty-one.
But now, after consuming the Narcissus Jade Bone Grass, her soul power had broken through to level thirty!
A whole nine levels of soul power!
Moreover, she could sense that there was still some unabsorbed medicine inside her.
Zhu Zhuqing guessed she needed to obtain her third soul ring to fully absorb it.
Feeling the sudden surge in her soul power, Zhu Zhuqing was initially apprehensive.
She feared that these herbs were overtaxing her potential.
Being from the Star Luo royal family, she knew some soul master families would use special methods to drain the talents of their warriors, forcefully increasing their soul power levels.
This method could rapidly increase a soul master's power, but at the cost of a greatly shortened lifespan and irreversible physical side effects.
However, after examining her body and finding no abnormalities, Zhu Zhuqing finally understood why these herbs were called immortal herbs.
They truly lived up to the name.
Soon after Zhu Zhuqing woke up, Hu Liena and Dugu Yan also opened their eyes.
Both had their soul power levels increased!
Hu Liena's soul power directly entered level forty, with potential for further breakthrough.
Dugu Yan's soul power reached level thirty-five!
Though the increase was not substantial, Dugu Yan's joy exceeded that of others.
She could feel the toxins accumulated in her body converging to a point, as if forming a pill.
Moreover, her martial soul seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
The three women looked at each other, each sensing the change in the others' aura.
"Who would have thought the immortal herbs found by Brother Su Yun would be so powerful," Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.
"Our junior brother is indeed amazing. Even the immortal herbs that stumped Grandpa Jue and Senior Dugu, two Titled Douluos, were effortlessly obtained by him."
Hu Liena's eyes curved in a smile, and her natural charm seemed to have intensified further, becoming even more enchanting.
Dugu Yan nodded in agreement beside her.
After their session ended, Dugu Yan led Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena to a wooden hut in the Sunset Forest, built by her grandfather, and they settled there.
Before departing, Su Yun reminded them not to follow him carelessly, as the cultivation of the other three Titled Douluos was beyond their reach.
Thus, they had to find a place to stay temporarily.
Three days passed.
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted in the Sunset Forest, startling all the birds and beasts in and around the forest.
They sensed a terrifying soul power fluctuation covering them.
This soul power fluctuation indicated its owner had surpassed level ninety-five, reaching level ninety-six!
"It's Grandpa Jue!"
Hu Liena exclaimed with joy.
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing stiffened upon hearing this.
Jue Douluo had broken through!
Both Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan, hailing from exceptional backgrounds – one from the Star Luo Royal Family and the other as the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo – had heard from their elders about Jue Douluo, a mainstay of the Spirit Hall's power structure, stuck at level ninety-five for years.
Today, they were fortunate to witness a level ninety-five Titled Douluo's breakthrough – what luck!
At this moment, they couldn't help but recall Su Yun's face.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened in amazement, thinking, "Brother Su Yun's Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum actually helped Jue Douluo..."
Dugu Yan was too astonished to speak.
The three women quickly stepped out of the cabin.
The next second, a beam of golden light seemed to lock onto them, rapidly transforming into a figure of moderate size and swiftly approaching.
When the golden light landed, they saw it was a golden chrysanthemum.
Hu Liena, having followed Jue Douluo Yue Guan for the longest time, recognized it at a glance.
This golden chrysanthemum was not just any object; it was Grandpa Jue's martial soul, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!
However, Hu Liena, with her keen eyes, noticed that the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in front of them seemed more exquisite and regal than ever before.
The powerful aura emanating from the golden chrysanthemum made the three women feel as if the soul power around them was solidifying.
But just a second later, the uncomfortable sensation vanished.
Then, Jue Douluo Yue Guan, smiling broadly, emerged from the blooming Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
Yue Guan looked rejuvenated, as if he had shed decades off his age.
Having been stuck at level ninety-five for so many years, he never expected to break through to level ninety-six today!
"Congratulations, Grandpa Jue!"
"Congratulations, Lord Jue Douluo."
Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan congratulated Yue Guan.
"Hahaha, you three girls did well too, your soul powers have improved," Yue Guan remarked, clearly in high spirits.
People are always more spirited during happy occasions, and what could be happier than breaking through to level ninety-six soul power?
Seeing Hu Liena's breakthrough to level forty soul power brought even more delight to Yue Guan.
"Where are the old poison and the old ghost?"
Yue Guan asked.
"Grandpa is still absorbing the immortal herb."
"Grandpa Ghost hasn't come out yet."
As soon as Hu Liena and Dugu Yan finished speaking, two distinctly different soul power fluctuations erupted from opposite sides of the Sunset Forest.
Then, Yue Guan and the three women saw a massive shadow engulfing the sky.
When they clearly saw the shadow, they realized it was a forty-meter-long, multicolored giant snake with scales shimmering in nine different colors, radiating astonishing power and mysterious toxins.
Yue Guan could feel that this nine-colored giant snake had surpassed the ninety-one level soul power threshold!
This old poison had also reached level ninety-two soul power!
Whoosh!
The giant snake soared into the sky and soon landed in front of the four people.
Upon landing, it transformed into a human figure.
Dugu Yan immediately rushed forward and hugged her grandfather, Dugu Bo!
"Grandpa!"
"My dear granddaughter!"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, holding Dugu Yan in his arms, his face full of affection.
"Old poison, I didn't expect your martial soul to have such an adventure."
Yue Guan looked at Dugu Bo with a meaningful gaze and said, "In terms of soul power, I'm confident I can overpower you. But feeling the pressure of your martial soul's true form just now, I can sense your poison skills have become stronger than before!"
"Hehe, thanks to the Nine-Colored Serpent Grass given to me by young friend Su Yun," Dugu Bo responded. "My Bi Phosphorus Snake Emperor has made a qualitative leap. I have renamed it to the Nine-Colored Snake Emperor. My poison skills have increased by at least fifty percent!"
For a soul master, the improvement of a martial soul's quality is a significant advancement, akin to directly boosting a video game character's base stats. The higher the soul power level, the more substantial the overall improvement from a martial soul's quality upgrade.
The three women were again surprised to hear Dugu Bo's words. At the Titled Douluo level, even a small improvement is hard-earned. Dugu Bo's substantial advancement clearly indicated that the Nine-Colored Serpent Grass given by Su Yun was exceptionally suitable for him.
"However, the toxins in my body haven't dissipated much. Accumulated over years, I'll still need young friend Su Yun's help in the future," Dugu Bo sighed slightly.
"Hmph, you know that much. As long as you don't betray the Spirit Hall after receiving its benefits," Yue Guan retorted coldly.
"Heh, the favor I owe is to young friend Su Yun, not your Spirit Hall. Old Chrysanthemum, don't flatter yourself and your Hall," Dugu Bo countered, clearly annoyed by Yue Guan's words. His allegiance was to Su Yun, and he would follow Su Yun if he ever left the Spirit Hall. Su Yun's charisma was worth following.
Yue Guan's expression turned cold, "Old poison, do you think breaking through to level ninety-two gives you the right to challenge me?"
Dugu Bo pushed Dugu Yan gently away and waved his sleeve, "Try me if you dare!"
Just as the tension between the two escalated, suddenly, a ghostly figure flew out from the jungle, appearing before everyone.
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
"Old Ghost!" Yue Guan was about to teach Dugu Bo a lesson when he saw his old friend appear.
"You've also broken through to level ninety-six!" Yue Guan excitedly exclaimed, sensing the aura of Ghost Douluo.
"Hmm," Gui Mei responded calmly, though his slightly trembling body betrayed his excitement.
"Congratulations, Grandpa Ghost," "Congratulations, Lord Ghost Douluo," Hu Liena and the other two girls greeted Gui Mei.
"Hey, you three girls, why didn't you congratulate me just now?" Dugu Bo suddenly asked.
Yue Guan scoffed, "You, a mere level ninety-two old man, don't deserve to be compared with us. Reach level ninety-five, then we'll talk."
Dugu Bo's eyes could kill upon hearing Yue Guan's mocking tone. However, he was eventually calmed by his granddaughter and Hu Liena.
Yue Guan was not wrong, though. As the weakest Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo's status was high among ordinary soul masters but somewhat insignificant in the eyes of other Titled Douluos.
"Where's Su Yun?" Gui Mei looked around, not seeing Su Yun, and said, "I need to thank him properly. Without his immortal herb, I wouldn't have broken through to level ninety-six."
Despite his reticent nature, Gui Mei was a man of gratitude. He and Yue Guan never thought they would break through to level ninety-six until Su Yun gave them the most suitable immortal herbs, helping them break their shackles. From the moment of his breakthrough, Gui Mei had elevated Su Yun's status in his heart, at least on par with Hu Liena.
As Gui Mei finished speaking and Zhu Zhuqing was about to reply, suddenly a strong fluctuation and trembling sensation came from underground.
Boom!
The next moment, two drastically different extreme hot and cold energies burst forth from the ground, covering a hundred meters radius!
