Chapter 69: with translation of chapter title

Gu Xuan wrapped the blanket thrown by Dugu Bo around his waist, gave Du Gu Yan a strange look, and Du Gu Yan's mind still replayed the shocking scene she had just witnessed.

It was the first time she had seen a male's that, but she had to admit it truly shocked her.

Gu Xuan is only fifteen, already that big? She even worries whether she can withstand such impact when she is with Gu Xuan in the future.

But this thought only flashed by; Gu Xuan's safe return made her heart overjoyed.

Du Gu Yan lowered her hands covering her eyes, came up to Gu Xuan and hugged his arm, her voice turning a little choked: "You really worried me to death, why didn't you say a word before running into the Binghuo Liangyi Yan?"

"I thought... I thought you..."

Gu Xuan looked at Du Gu Yan suddenly bursting into tears, his heart also slightly moved, he rubbed her little head and said softly: "Sorry, I'm back."

Dugu Bo also stared at Gu Xuan and said: "You brat, if I hadn't still sensed your aura, our Yan Yan would have almost jumped in to keep you company!"

Gu Xuan also felt a bit guilty upon hearing that; if Du Gu Yan really jumped in, he wouldn't even have a chance to regret.

Gu Xuan took Du Gu Yan's jade hand and said softly: "Sorry, I was too excited earlier and forgot to leave you a note."

Besides, you don't need to worry; I have taken Eight-cornered Profound Ice Grass and Flaming Apricot Delicate Herb, now I have achieved a body immune to all poisons and cultivated a golden body; to me now, the Binghuo Liangyi Yan is no different from an ordinary swimming pool.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo also felt a sigh inside; Gu Xuan obtaining this opportunity will surely soar to great heights in the future.

Gu Xuan continued: "Grandfather Dugu, Yanzi, your poison can now be cured; when the time comes I will refine an antidote for you, you just need to take it and then follow my method, and you will naturally return to normal."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan couldn't help but their eyes light up; since Gu Xuan said so, there's naturally no problem, and if that's the case, they will have one less worry in the future.

After receiving this good news, Dugu Bo's mood instantly eased; looking at Gu Xuan who had grown a bit taller, he asked: "How was your gain? I see your soul power is solid; you must have made a breakthrough."

Upon hearing that, Gu Xuan also smiled slightly and replied: "My soul power has indeed increased; it is now level thirty-six."

"Level thirty-six?!" Upon hearing that, Du Gu Yan, who was holding Gu Xuan's hand, exclaimed.

"That's correct, and my soul power has no trace of emptiness." Gu Xuan explained.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo also smiled slightly, for he indeed felt the solidity of Gu Xuan's soul power.

The reason Gu Xuan could continuously break through to level thirty-six is not only because of the Eight-cornered Profound Ice Grass and Flaming Apricot Delicate Herb plus the tempering of the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, but he himself had already reached the late stage of level thirty-three, not far from level thirty-four.

Moreover, this is also because these two immortal-grade herbs do not increase soul power; their function is to remodel the body, temper the physique, laying the deepest foundation for a Soul Master.

So Gu Xuan continued: "Actually, increasing soul power is secondary; the greatest improvement this time is my physical quality."

"Originally my physical quality was already comparable to a Soul Ancestor; now after absorbing the Eight-cornered Profound Ice Grass and Flaming Apricot Delicate Herb and completing the Ice-Fire Refined Golden Body, my physical quality has surpassed that of an ordinary Soul King powerhouse, roughly around level fifty-five, and it is the physical quality of a strong-attack Soul Master with a beast martial soul."

"Moreover, this is only an initial improvement; as long as my training method is proper in the future, my physical quality can continue to increase."

Upon saying that, Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed like someone who had never seen the world; previously his physical quality was comparable to a Soul Ancestor? Now it's comparable to a level fifty-five Soul King?

What monster is this? How had he never heard before that physical quality could far exceed soul power level?

Generally, a beast martial soul Soul Master's physical quality is indeed stronger than that of a weapon martial soul Soul Master; for example, a level fifty-one beast martial soul Soul Master's physical quality could be comparable to that of a level fifty-five weapon martial soul Soul Master.

But that is only achievable by absolute geniuses, and at most only a few levels of difference.

But what about Gu Xuan? Although his soul power level has also increased, he is only level thirty-six, yet his physical quality is already comparable to that of a level fifty-five peer Soul Master?

Just relying on this physical quality, he might already be able to fight above his level against Soul Ancestors of level forty and above!

Not only Dugu Bo, but Du Gu Yan is also astonished; although he knows Gu Xuan's physical quality is strong, he never expected this upgrade to be so terrifying.

You should know that a Soul King and a Soul Ancestor are not just a few levels of soul power difference; there is also a gap of a ten-thousand-year soul ring; even a lower-tier Soul King needs a thousand-year soul ring more than a Soul Ancestor, so they are not on the same level at all.

"Little Xuan, you..." Du Gu Yan stared at Gu Xuan, mouth agape.

Gu Xuan smiled slightly and said: "My improvement this time far exceeds your imagination; you can gradually understand it later, and you and Grandfather Dugu also have such an opportunity."

Upon saying that, both Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan's eyes shone as they stared at Gu Xuan.

"What do you mean by that?" Dugu Bo asked.

"I will also pick a suitable immortal-grade herb for you to strengthen your foundation and increase your strength, with no side effects whatsoever." Gu Xuan said softly.

Hearing this, Du Gu Yan couldn't help but hug Gu Xuan tighter, excitedly saying: "Little Xuan, is it really true?"

Gu Xuan smiled slightly: "Of course it's true; when have I ever lied to you?"

Upon hearing that, Du Gu Yan directly kissed Gu Xuan's face; seeing his improvement, if she could also have such improvement, wouldn't she be able to become a Titled Douluo in the future?

After all, her poison already has a solution; in the future she won't need to suppress her cultivation anymore, so wouldn't becoming a Titled Douluo be within reach?

Dugu Bo also showed a relieved smile; originally he only wanted to detoxify his granddaughter, but now not only can the poison be cured, this grandson-in-law also brought him a surprise.

"However, before taking the immortal-grade herb, I need to detoxify you and Grandfather Dugu, then regulate your bodies, so that the herb's efficacy can be maximized." Gu Xuan rubbed Du Gu Yan's nose and said softly.

Du Gu Yan nodded like a chick pecking at grain; whatever Gu Xuan says goes.

Dugu Bo also looked at the affectionate young couple, his heart couldn't help but feel delighted.

Originally he had some reservations in his heart about Du Gu Yan and Gu Xuan getting together after only knowing each other for a little over a month, after all their time together was too short.

But now that reservation is completely gone; he even thinks it would have been great if his granddaughter had met this kid earlier.

Only Dugu Bo doesn't know that Gu Xuan is actually only twelve years old plus a few months; if they had met earlier, Gu Xuan wouldn't even have grown his hair yet!
