Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 70: Heading to the Star Dou Great Forest

Just as Xiao Yu was about to explain the matter of the immortal herbs, Yu Luomian arrived at the door, looking excitedly at Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, didn't you just break through to Level 20 not long ago? How did you reach Level 30 so quickly?"

Yu Luomian's arrival made Xiao Yu hold back from immediately revealing the immortal herbs.

After all, Xiao Yu didn't trust Yu Luomian and didn't want to complicate things.

"Grand-Master, I've had some insights in my cultivation recently, so my breakthrough speed increased."

Xiao Yu casually made up an excuse.

"Insights led to such a rapid breakthrough?! That's too unbelievable..."

Although he said this, Yu Luomian was still astonished. After all, Xiao Yu had gone from Level 20 to Level 30 in just a few months. Anyone would be shocked by this. But since Xiao Yu was on their side, Yu Luomian didn't dwell on it too much.

"Hahaha!! Excellent, excellent!! What a fine lad, a nine-year-old Soul Elder! Truly worthy of being the Dragon Son of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family!!"

Yu Luomian laughed heartily.

He then prepared to personally take Xiao Yu to obtain his soul ring. However, just as the three were chatting enthusiastically, Dugu Bo, who had finished preparing, arrived with Dugu Yan.

When he saw Yu Luomian, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious.

Especially upon learning that Yu Luomian was stubbornly insisting on helping Xiao Yu hunt for a soul ring, Dugu Bo shot him a displeased look.

Although he didn't want Yu Luomian tagging along, considering he was Xiao Yu's teacher's father and having a peak Soul Douluo would make the hunt safer, Dugu Bo didn't outright refuse.

"Fine, but don't hold me back if we run into danger!"

Dugu Bo sneered.

"Old Poison, you..."

Now that his strength was far inferior to Dugu Bo's, Yu Luomian had to be careful even when retorting.

Seeing Yu Luomian being cautious around him, Dugu Bo couldn't help but show a smug smile.

Although Liu Erlong also wanted to help Xiao Yu obtain his soul ring, since the Star Dou Great Forest was far away and the academy had just started, someone needed to stay behind to manage things.

Thus, Liu Erlong had no choice but to remain at the academy.

She stood at the academy gates, watching the group leave.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The group of four, traveling at a leisurely pace, finally arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

After resting for a night at an inn near the forest, the four entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since Yu Luomian's martial soul was suited for clearing paths, he took the lead. Xiao Yu and Dugu Yan followed behind, while Dugu Bo, being the strongest, stayed at the rear to keep watch.

"Xiao Yu, Yan Yan, the Star Dou Great Forest is much more dangerous than the Sunset Forest. Once we enter, you must stay close to me and Yu Luomian at all times. Never wander off alone! If you encounter danger, immediately release your martial soul and call for help!!"

Dugu Bo warned.

Hearing Dugu Bo's cautious tone, Xiao Yu and Dugu Yan both nodded, their expressions serious.

The group of four then began to venture deeper into the forest.

Since they were looking for high-level soul rings, they needed to go further into the forest.

As they progressed, the soul beasts they encountered gradually shifted from hundred-year to thousand-year levels.

Yu Luomian, who was clearing the path, remained vigilant.

The Star Dou Great Forest lived up to its reputation. After just half a day of searching, Dugu Bo found a soul beast that was quite suitable for Dugu Yan.

A Flame Venom Scorpion, around six thousand years old.

The Flame Venom Scorpion not only had an incredibly tough exoskeleton but also possessed a venom more difficult to cure than normal poison. Additionally, it had formidable attack methods, particularly its deadly pincers.

Previously, Dugu Bo had Dugu Yan absorb support-type soul rings because the Jade Phosphorus Snake's innate poison was already the best attack method. Thus, at the time, the soul skills only needed to help the poison infiltrate the opponent's body more effectively.

But now that her martial soul had evolved, poison was no longer her only option. Thus, Dugu Bo needed to consider other attack methods.

This Flame Venom Scorpion perfectly fit his requirements—it had damage, defense, and enhanced poison attributes.

Although its lifespan was a bit high, after consuming the immortal herb, Dugu Bo believed there was a good chance of success.

Soon, under the overwhelming strength of Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Dragon, the six-thousand-year-old Flame Venom Scorpion, over two meters long, was beaten to within an inch of its life.

Dugu Yan then summoned her martial soul and finished off the scorpion, sitting down to absorb its soul ring.

Meanwhile, Yu Luomian, standing to the side, noticed the drastic changes in the martial souls of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. His face showed confusion.

What on earth had happened to them during this time?

Although the process was grueling, Dugu Yan managed to absorb the six-thousand-year soul ring successfully.

She gained a powerful soul skill: Jade Phosphorus Fangs!

When activated, this skill summoned a venomous fang imbued with Jade Phosphorus Snake venom, which could be launched at enemies. It not only had armor-piercing effects but also carried the Flame Venom Scorpion's fire poison, delivering both burst damage and sustained damage!

Moreover, this skill could be combined with Dugu Yan's third soul skill, Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison. In a cloud of poison mist, the similarly colored venomous fang would have a much higher hit rate, making it nearly impossible for enemies to defend against.

After helping Dugu Yan obtain her soul ring, the next task was to find a suitable soul beast for Xiao Yu.

However, the soul beast Xiao Yu needed was even rarer. After searching for a day without success, the group decided to find an open area to rest for the night and continue the search tomorrow.

When it came time to assign tents, Yu Luomian, who had come in a hurry, hadn't brought one. Dugu Bo, thinking there would only be three people, had only brought three tents.

Neither Dugu Bo nor Yu Luomian wanted to share a tent with the other.

Thus, the only solution was for Xiao Yu and Dugu Yan to share a tent, while Dugu Bo and Yu Luomian each took one.

Since Xiao Yu and Dugu Yan had already made substantial progress in their relationship, sharing a tent wasn't a big issue.

At this moment, watching Xiao Yu and his granddaughter enter the tent together, Dugu Bo deeply regretted allowing Yu Luomian to tag along. If he hadn't come, Dugu Bo wouldn't have had to witness this distressing scene.
