Chapter 56: Dugu Bo, Fully Empowered!

"A soul bone is formed by a spirit beast of the mortal world; its age is fixed and unchanging, and it does not possess the ability to grow alongside a Spirit Master. Commonly, it is said to lack growth potential."

"A god bone is formed by a divine beast of the God Realm; its age is not fixed, it possesses super growth potential, and it can grow alongside a Spirit Master! Furthermore, it possesses divine power itself."

Ma Hongjun spoke up.

"Hiss, so that's how it is!" Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were extremely shocked.

"Then I must hurry and cultivate to reach Level 99." Dugu Bo clenched his fists, feeling a sense of anticipation.

Compared to obtaining a god bone to activate it early, he believed that raising himself to Level 99 to obtain the full set would be faster.

Now that his martial soul was at the God-level Peak, his true potential had been awakened, and breaking through to Level 99 in the future would be no problem at all.

The prerequisite was that he would not die.

Before leaving, Ma Hongjun mobilized the Phoenix Space and moved the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well away.

Because he remembered what he had told Ning Fengzhi; if the other party actually found it, that would be bad. His original intention was actually not to be found by them.

Watching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well disappear just like that, leaving behind only a large, barren, sunken area, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan felt uneasy.

"What kind of ability is this, to be able to make such a large place disappear?" Dugu Bo immediately asked.

"This is the Phoenix Space, an innate divine ability."

"Leaving this place here is not the safest option. I intend to transplant it to the Phoenix Academy. Poison Elder, before the academy is built, let us operate around Heaven Dou City," Ma Hongjun said.

"Very well." Dugu Bo nodded.

Thereupon, the three of them exchanged a glance and performed the Phoenix Transformation, flying toward the direction of the Soul Fighting Arena.

After returning, Ma Hongjun began to refine pills for everyone.

Only in this way could the medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs be truly brought out to accelerate the improvement of their cultivation.

That day, after the four women finished their matches and returned to the hotel—they would live in the hotel until the academy was completed and did not intend to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; regardless, that was someone else's place, and living there felt uncomfortable, as if they were being watched, which was very unpleasant.

Ma Hongjun handed the refined top-grade pills to the four women respectively.

The ingredients of the pills were all the same; by blending different Immortal Herbs and adding a drop of the Fire Dragon King's blood, he produced ten pills in one furnace!

His alchemy technique had improved again, which was also because his spiritual power had reached that of a Title Douluo.

He ate one himself, and his soul power broke through to Level 61.

It also allowed his physique and soul spiritual power to improve once more, clearing his eight extraordinary meridians and forging the Supreme Golden Body.

After the four women consumed theirs, the effect was not much different from his.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both broke through to Level 40, becoming four-ring Soul Ancestors! Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both broke through to Level 50, becoming five-ring Soul Kings! Unfortunately, such pills would have no effect if taken a second time within a short period; one would need to wait at least a year for them to be effective again.

Moreover, because the ingredients were the same, the effect would only decrease compared to the first time they were taken.

After the third time, the effect would also be pitifully small, until finally, there would be no effect at all.

"Poison Elder, this pill is for you." Ma Hongjun handed another one to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo took it and knew that the grade of this pill was different, so he consumed it and circulated the Jade Phosphor Emperor Scripture to absorb the medicinal power with all his might.

After the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, his cultivation broke through to Level 97.

"Good pill! Only two more levels until Level 99!" Dugu Bo clenched his fists, feeling somewhat excited.

With a thought, the nine jade-green soul rings on his body appeared, emitting a terrifying pressure!

The age of his soul rings had actually all reached at least Ten Thousand Year! The first soul ring was Ten Thousand Year! The second soul ring was Ten Thousand Year! The third soul ring was Ten Thousand Year! The fourth soul ring was 200,000 years!

The fifth soul ring was 300,000 years!

The sixth soul ring was 400,000 years! The seventh soul ring was 500,000 years!

The eighth soul ring was 600,000 years!

The ninth soul ring was 700,000 years!

This was the result of his martial soul evolving and growing rapidly in a short time, matching up with him!

After becoming a Title Douluo, every time one leveled up, the ninth soul ring could increase by a 100,000-year level!

It was 600,000 years before, and now the ninth soul ring was 700,000 years.

With this configuration now, even when facing a Peerless Douluo, he, Dugu Bo, still had the confidence to win!

This was destined to be able to break through to Level 98 and Level 99!

However, because his martial soul was too strong, the soul power required to absorb was also much greater.

Especially reaching these last two levels, it was even more difficult! But fortunately, he only needed to break through to Level 99 to directly inherit a God Position and reach a Level 100 True God!

This last level was basically a freebie.

This was his greatest comfort.

"Principal, with me around from now on, you can walk sideways across the continent!" Dugu Bo patted his chest and guaranteed.

"Very well, then I shall trouble you, Poison Elder." Ma Hongjun smiled slightly.

In fact, even without the other party, he, having broken through to Level 61, could already walk sideways completely.

"By the way, Principal, the matter you asked me to investigate has some leads. These are the detailed addresses of the Four Single-Attribute Clans. If you want to recruit them into the academy, I can just go over directly. If they don't give us face, then we shall suppress and kill them all!" Dugu Bo said with his tail held high.

Ma Hongjun shook his head and said, "Don't be so murderous. You are the Phoenix Academy Grand Elder, and I am the Principal. We must pay attention to our image when outside. When negotiating with others, one should naturally have grace. As Principal, I must naturally go in person. You stay here to guard those four women; they are currently being targeted and could be in danger at any time. Although no one can catch them if they run, if someone launches a sneak attack and kills them instantly before they can react, they could still die."

He did not want anyone to trigger Phoenix Nirvana.

The first time would definitely succeed, but the success rate would be halved after the second time, halved again the third time, and the same for the fourth... until eventually the probability dropped to zero.

Therefore, the first time was very precious, and it was best not to trigger it.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the imperial family might not make a move yet, but the Spirit Hall and other forces might not be able to restrain themselves.

According to his understanding of the Spirit Hall, what they liked most was secretly hunting down talented youths who did not join the Spirit Hall! "I understand, leave it to me." Dugu Bo's expression also became serious, and he nodded.

"These are the things the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needs. You represent me and give them to them. I estimate that this time we can earn at least ten billion Gold Soul Coins from them; from now on, our Phoenix Academy will not be short of money."

Ma Hongjun took out a Soul Guidance Device; the space inside was very large.

It was given by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, specifically for holding those refined pills and weapons.

During these days, besides refining his own Immortal Herb Pill, Ma Hongjun also helped refine the materials sent over by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Although the other party provided the materials, which reduced the cost, this was still an extremely lucrative fortune.

"Hiss! Ten billion Gold Soul Coins!?"

After hearing this, Dugu Bo gasped, feeling incomparably shocked.

He had never seen so much money in all his life!

Even though he was already a Title Douluo, and at their level, Gold Soul Coins were truly like dirt.

However, now that the academy was developing, money would be needed constantly in the future.

He could no longer just consider himself; he had to consider the future development of the entire academy.
