Chapter 58: Soul Power Breakthrough

This time, Dugu Bo spent an exceptionally long time refining the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew.

It took a full two hours to completely refine the power of the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew.

Two hours later, Dugu Bo opened his tightly closed eyes.

A formidable aura radiated outward, pushing away much of the cold and heat within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After Dugu Bo slowly retracted his aura, he tried to stand up, only to crash through the water membrane wrapping him; the next moment, the water membrane splashed onto Dugu Bo with a "splash" sound.

It dampened Dugu Bo's excited mood completely.

"What is the meaning of this?" Dugu Bo asked, looking at Zhou Heng beside him with a dark face.

Zhou Heng shrugged and said helplessly, "When I saw you refining the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, its energy was leaking out through your pores. I had no other choice but to wrap you in the Water Element to prevent the energy of the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew from dissipating."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo had to swallow his anger; after all, it was his own poor talent that caused five or six out of every ten parts of the Immortal Herb's energy to leak out through his pores.

In truth, Dugu Bo wasn't really angry; he was just excited about having just broken through one level of soul power, and being drenched in water naturally made him a bit irritable.

Now that he knew the reason, he was no longer angry.

Seeing that Dugu Bo was no longer angry, Zhou Heng said, "Since you have finished refining, it is my turn. I also need to consume the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew; please protect me."

Dugu Bo nodded vigorously and said, "Alright, with me here, you can rest easy!"

Zhou Heng was not worried about his safety; after all, this was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Within this Poison Array, basically no Spirit Master would enter, and even if a poison-attribute Spirit Beast entered, there was still the ninety-second-level Dugu Bo watching over him.

The current Dugu Bo had strength not inferior to an ordinary eighty or ninety-thousand-year Spirit Beast; any Spirit Beast that dared to enter would be slapped to death by Dugu Bo directly.

Zhou Heng used his soul power to lift a drop of Wangchuan Qiushui Dew and then swallowed it in one gulp.

The moment the dew entered his mouth, a cool stream of air surged from his abdomen and flowed toward his mind.

Zhou Heng subconsciously began to practice the Yin and Yang Five Elements Visualization Diagram, allowing his mental power to absorb the energy of the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew and grow rapidly.

Zhou Heng's mental power grew at a flying speed, and the energy of the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew was also being absorbed by Zhou Heng extremely quickly.

Zhou Heng refined the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew at an extremely fast speed; in just half an hour, he had completely converted the energy of the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew for his own use.

"Hoo~" After refining the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, Zhou Heng gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Closing his eyes to feel the soul power within his body, which had also increased by one level, Zhou Heng curled the corners of his mouth.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhou Heng saw an old face looking at him right in front of him.

"Ah! Dugu Bo, what are you doing?" Zhou Heng was directly startled by Dugu Bo and couldn't help but let out a loud shout.

Dugu Bo was also startled by Zhou Heng's reaction, patting his chest to soothe his mood.

"I just saw that while you were refining the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, your body kept flashing with light and changing its shape from time to time.

It caught my attention, so I came closer to check on your situation.

Who knew you would wake up just then? You scared me to death." Dugu Bo told Zhou Heng what he had seen.

The situation Dugu Bo described caught Zhou Heng's attention; he had actually changed his shape?

Zhou Heng hurriedly asked Dugu Bo what the shape he had changed into looked like.

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said, "Your eyes were flashing with white light, there were two sharp horns on your head, and there were several tubes on your chest, shoulders, and other places.

What kind of martial soul did you awaken? It's so peculiar!"

After hearing Dugu Bo's description, Zhou Heng immediately thought of the Reiblood Star people; was he about to awaken that?

But that shouldn't be right; he was in the Douluo World, which had absolutely nothing to do with the Ultraman world.

Zhou Heng thought and thought but couldn't figure out what was going on.

Incidentally, he channeled his soul power toward his eyes; Zhou Heng only felt his vision become sharper and his mental power increase more, but other than that, he had no other sensations.

"It seems I didn't gain the ability to see through the essence of things." Zhou Heng widened his eyes, looked at his body, and after observing for a while, confirmed that he hadn't gained any other abilities, so he gave up on the idea of continuing to investigate.

Instead, he turned his attention to the fact that his soul power had broken through by one level due to consuming the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew.

Feeling the active soul power within his body, Zhou Heng felt that his strength had increased by another notch.

"I've broken through to level forty; let's get my fourth Soul Ring first." Zhou Heng really couldn't think of a way to solve this matter, so he suppressed the question in his heart, waiting until his strength was sufficient to find a solution.

Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Dugu Bo asked, "Then have you decided what Spirit Beast you want to find?"

Zhou Heng had long since thought about the Spirit Beast he needed for his breakthrough and said, "I have chosen a fire-attribute Spirit Beast. I haven't selected a specific one yet, so let's go find one now."

Hearing the Spirit Beast Zhou Heng chose, Dugu Bo lowered his head to think and said, "A fire-attribute Spirit Beast?"

A few minutes later, Dugu Bo thought of a Spirit Beast he knew and said, "In the mountains northeast of the Sunset Forest, there is a nest of Fire Phosphorus Lava Beasts; the highest age is only twenty-eight thousand years, and the lowest is just over two thousand years.

They should meet your requirements; shall we go over and take a look now?"

Hearing the name Fire Phosphorus Lava Beast, Zhou Heng thought of what kind of Spirit Beast that was.

The Fire Phosphorus Lava Beast is an elemental Spirit Beast, with the Fire Element as its primary and the Earth Element as its secondary. Its body is formed from lava, making physical attacks difficult to be effective. Its attack methods are primarily based on Fire Element attacks, and its combat power is extremely strong.

This type of Spirit Beast is not rare, but because they are elemental Spirit Beasts, they face more powerful Heavenly Tribulations, so very few have cultivation exceeding one hundred thousand years.

"Alright, let's choose this Spirit Beast!" Zhou Heng decided on this Spirit Beast.

Seeing that Zhou Heng had selected the Spirit Beast, Dugu Bo planned to go capture the Fire Phosphorus Lava Beast right away.

Dugu Bo took Zhou Heng directly out of the Poison Array and walked toward a small mountain in the northeast of the Sunset Forest.

Before leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo took two sets of black masks from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch and handed one set to Zhou Heng.

"I have one."

Zhou Heng had long known that he would need to live in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a long time, so he had already stored plenty of daily necessities in his Storage Soul Guidance Device; Zhou Heng was also prepared with this black mask.

Zhou Heng took out a set of clothes from his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

This garment was not much different from the black clothes Dugu Bo handed him, but on the corner of the hem, a lifelike Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon pattern was embroidered.

This was something Zhou Heng had specifically asked people to embroider when he customized this set of black masks at the Offering Hall.

It wasn't his own family's symbol anyway; he would use it as he pleased, and if he did anything bad, he would just push the blame onto the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Watching Zhou Heng skillfully put on the black mask, the corners of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched involuntarily.

If it weren't for respecting Zhou Heng's face, Dugu Bo would have started laughing right then.

"You had better not wear that set," Dugu Bo said, stopping Zhou Heng from continuing to put on that garment.

"Why not wear it?"

"On this continent, those who wear such masked black clothing are all people with their own agendas; they only wear masked black clothing so that others cannot recognize them.

Therefore, a rule has slowly formed on the continent: as long as it is none of your business, do not pay any attention to those people wearing masked black clothing.

Otherwise, if that person wearing masked black clothing kills you, no one will care.

However, your kind of masked black clothing with a special emblem will attract other people's attention.

Others will consciously follow you to see what you are doing and whether you have any treasures."

After hearing Dugu Bo's explanation, Zhou Heng finally understood why his few masters had looked at him with such inexplicable smiles when he had ordered this piece of masked black clothing with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family emblem.
