Chapter 152: Reactions from All Sides, Dugu Bo Becomes World-Renowned

A few days later, a shocking piece of news spread across the entire continent.

Dugu Bo fought the Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo in succession, and emerged victorious in both.

Major factions attach immense importance to any news involving a Title Douluo.

In the Seven Treasure Hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo sat with expressions of both surprise and confusion.

"Strange, when did this Old Poison become so powerful that he can fight two at once?" Bone Douluo said. Although he knew that Chrysanthemum and Ghost would certainly not have joined forces to fight, and it was highly probable they fought Dugu Bo one after another, even he, a genuine Level 95 Super Douluo, would not dare claim he could guarantee victory under such circumstances.

Especially that Ghost, whose soul power was only a fraction lower than his own, and whose strange attacks were no less formidable than his.

To fight two Title Douluo in succession—if one cannot end the battle quickly, the consumption of soul power alone is immeasurable.

Perhaps a Super Douluo like Sword Douluo could potentially do it, relying on his super-strong attack power to decide the outcome in a short time.

"According to what I have heard, during the battle, that Dugu Bo unleashed a soul skill with a gray radiance that covered the heavens and earth, even shattering Guimei's Spirit Avatar." Ning Fengzhi had his own intelligence; although he did not watch the battle, he was able to learn the course of the fight.

It was a foregone conclusion that Poison Douluo had defeated Chrysanthemum and Ghost in succession; from now on, his ranking among the Title Douluo would also rise with the tide.

Regarding attack power, Sword Dao Chenxin still had more say.

Of course, a favor can only be used once; Xue Xing would not use it recklessly, and would certainly save it for a truly critical moment.

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not show nothing at all; whether they could win him over was one thing, but the attitude of wanting to be on good terms had to be shown.

Everyone had their joys and angers.

Currently, there are only a dozen or so Title Douluo on the continent. Dugu Bo could at least be ranked in the middle tier, and this was in the one-on-one combat he was not originally good at. If it were a group battle, I fear that even the strong, like Sword Douluo and Thunder Douluo, would not compare to him.

Such a massive force, how could it not make them tempted?

Those who were happy, such as Xue Xing Prince and Xue Beng Prince, felt that in their hearts, Dugu Bo stood on their side. Even if he had not officially joined them, he owed Xue Xing Prince a favor. If there was anything they needed him for, as long as Xue Xing Prince spoke up, he generally would not refuse.

"It seems that only when we see Poison Douluo later can we probe a little," Ning Fengzhi said. Guessing blindly here, no matter what one guessed, it was meaningless.

"A gray radiance, could it be Medusa's Gaze? At most, this move is a 50,000-year soul bone skill. It is strong, but to say it can threaten a Title Douluo, this old man does not believe it." Bone Douluo shook his head. The Medusa Skull is not an External Spirit Bone and will not grow stronger as its master grows stronger.

One can imagine how intense the wooing from major factions will be for him later.

The conversation and actions of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were just a microcosm of the entire continent.

Sword Douluo's eyes sharpened. "In that case, he indeed relied on super-strong attack power to catch Guimei off guard. To be able to instantly break Guimei's Spirit Avatar, it is impossible without a soul skill with power exceeding 90,000 years. Theoretically, Dugu Bo does not have such a skill. Even his Ninth Soul Skill, Bilin Divine Light, though powerful, is a group attack and not suitable for one-on-one combat."

The power of this move was already fixed. At Dugu Bo's level, using it should not have been enough to threaten Chrysanthemum and Ghost.

It is just a pity that Dugu Yan had already been taken away by Yu Tianheng in advance; otherwise, he would have wanted to let Xue Beng pursue Dugu Yan to see. As long as they obtained Dugu Yan, he would not fear that Dugu Bo would not sincerely join them.

And those who were angry, of course, were the Spirit Hall.

When the two, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, returned to the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong's face was already livid. The two people she had high hopes for had actually lost so miserably, and to Dugu Bo, who had always been known as the weakest in one-on-one fights.

But seeing the two so severely injured, Bibi Dong did not punish them excessively. After all, she did not have many people she could use under her command right now, and the only ones she could truly rely on were the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost.

If she punished them excessively because of a failed mission, leading to a loss of loyalty, that would not be good.

Therefore, she had to suppress her anger and help Chrysanthemum and Ghost detoxify.

In fact, her Spider Emperor Martial Soul could also devour toxins.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's poison was easy to handle; the toxins remained only on the surface of his body. Relying on his own formidable soul power, plus her toxin absorption, he was healed very quickly.

But Guimei had been struck by at least a dozen different deadly poisons, and they were buried deep within his body, eroding his martial soul and soul power.

At this moment, Guimei could not force the poison out on his own, and even Bibi Dong's Spider Emperor Martial Soul could not suck it out.

"What a powerful poison, it actually leaves me helpless. What kind of fortuitous encounter did this Old Poison have to undergo such a earth-shattering change?" Bibi Dong frowned and said.

Dugu Bo becoming so strong was truly too alarming.

In the future, the various plans of the Spirit Hall would all involve large-scale battles. If Dugu Bo were to intervene at that time...

Then the combat power below the Title Douluo level might as well just lie down.

Even she could not eliminate this deadly poison; I fear that Citun Douluo, Ci Xue, would have no way either.

"I must find a way to remove him, but..." Bibi Dong had the intent to kill, but seemed to have no good way.

She could not command that group in the Offering Hall. Besides, those old men were reclusive and arrogant; they did not put Dugu Bo in their eyes at all. Asking them to take the initiative to strike was even more impossible.

And the strongest ones in her hands were Chrysanthemum and Ghost. Since even they were defeated, she could not very well take the field herself.

Not to mention that this matter was originally Dugu Bo's right, if the Pope personally took the field to inexplicably ambush someone, what would become of the Spirit Hall's reputation? She did indeed have the idea of destroying the Spirit Hall, but not in this way.

She only wanted to turn the Qian Family's Spirit Hall into her own Spirit Empire, and in the future pass it on to her disciple Hu Liena, completely erasing the Qian Family's legacy on the continent.

Furthermore, the most critical thing for her right now was the Rakshasa God Trial; it was not the time to create extra complications.

"Forget it!" Bibi Dong finally sighed. She decided that becoming a god was the priority. As long as she achieved the Rakshasa God, then even if Dugu Bo were ten times stronger, it would just be a matter of her waving her hand.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost, for the next year, focus on recovering from your injuries. I will not arrange any more missions for you. If there is really anything, I will hand it to Lingyuan first."

"Many thanks, Your Holiness the Pope. That, Your Holiness..." The two thanked her first, then looked at Bibi Dong with some hesitation and embarrassment.

The poison in Guimei's body still needed Dugu Bo to unlock it, so they could not renege on what they had promised Dugu Bo.

"I already know about the deal between you and Dugu Bo. Two Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones—we shall give them. Rest assured, this time, the Offering Hall will have no objections either," Bibi Dong said.

Although two Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones were precious, they definitely did not compare to a Title Douluo. Bibi Dong believed the Offering Hall still had this much sense of trade-off.
