Chapter 62: Cultivation Improvement

These two Spirit Masters looked on as, in just a few short minutes, their group of seven Spirit Masters was now reduced to only the two of them.

A chill surged through their hearts, and as they exchanged glances, both saw the intent to retreat in the other's eyes.

"My lord, please spare us, we have a secret to tell!" the Spirit Master holding the refined iron staff shouted loudly, trying to get Zhou Heng to spare the two of them.

Zhou Heng's gaze could not help but shift toward the other, a flash of curiosity crossing his eyes.

However, the Fire Phosphorus Melting Beast's attacks did not cease, waiting for the other to speak.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Master wreathed in flames, while Zhou Heng's attention was focused on the other Spirit Master, saw the Third Soul Ring and Fourth Soul Ring beneath his feet bloom with light simultaneously.

The flames wrapped around his body exploded violently, and sparks scattered in all directions with that Spirit Master at the center, blocking the fireballs thrown by the Fire Phosphorus Melting Beast.

Taking advantage of this precious opportunity, the Spirit Master wreathed in flames immediately turned and charged toward Dugu Bo, intending to capture Dugu Bo to hold Zhou Heng hostage.

As for whether he could capture Dugu Bo, the Spirit Master had not thought about it at all; having reached a life-or-death moment, whether it succeeded or not depended on heaven's will.

Zhou Heng looked at the Spirit Master struggling before him, and for the one charging toward Dugu Bo, he had already passed a death sentence.

Daring to make a move against a Title Douluo—was this not seeking death?

Sure enough, when the Spirit Master wreathed in flames arrived before Dugu Bo, he threw a punch at Dugu Bo's face, wanting to quickly finish off Dugu Bo to hold Zhou Heng hostage and save his own life.

Unfortunately, just as this punch was thrown, the majestic soul power on Dugu Bo's body was released, pinning this Spirit Master firmly to the ground.

Subsequently, Dugu Bo flicked his finger, and a drop of ink-green venom fell from his fingertip onto the Spirit Master pinned to the ground.

The next moment, the flesh on the Spirit Master's body that came into contact with the venom immediately began to rot, turning into bloody liquid.

"Ugh, ahhh!" Feeling the pain of the flesh rotting on his body, he felt as if small knives were cutting his meat and steel needles were piercing into his pores.

Moreover, the rotting flesh continued to spread, encompassing the Spirit Master's entire body.

It made the Spirit Master feel that it would be better to have just died under the Fire Phosphorus Melting Beast's fireballs.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the flesh on the Spirit Master's body had turned into bloody liquid, leaving behind only a skeleton stained with blood.

"Hmph. With only these meager skills, you dare to charge at me. Seeking death!" Dugu Bo looked at the skeleton before him and snorted with disdain.

He raised his foot, aimed at the skeleton's skull, and stepped down fiercely, crushing the skull to pieces.

The Spirit Master who was being suppressed by the Fire Phosphorus Melting Beast looked at the corpse that Dugu Bo had reduced to a skeleton, feeling immense terror, and a chill permeated his body.

Zhou Heng's figure flashed as he arrived beside this Spirit Master, raised his foot, and kicked out, striking the other's abdomen and sending him flying several meters away, where he crashed onto the grass in the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Zhou Heng waved his right hand, and his Battle Instrument Martial Soul released a golden point of light, retracting the Fire Phosphorus Melting Beast back into the Battle Instrument Martial Soul.

Moving his figure, he arrived not far from the kicked Spirit Master and said, looking at him: "Speak, what secret do you have? If you tell me, I will spare your life!"

Dugu Bo also arrived at Zhou Heng's side, his eyes revealing killing intent as he quietly watched the Spirit Master lying on the ground.

This person felt Dugu Bo's killing intent and dared not hide these things; besides, this secret could not be hidden at all.

"I'll speak, I'll speak.

Our group found two soul bones; they are on that Spirit Master wearing armor, who has a Storage Soul Guidance Device, and they are kept right there."

A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Dugu Bo's eyes as he looked at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Huan remained expressionless, looking at the other and saying: "Is there anything else?"

The man hurriedly shook his head, "No more, please spare my life!"

Zhou Heng nodded in satisfaction, a golden broadsword appeared in his hand, and Zhou Heng casually swung the blade, killing him.

Things had already come to this, yet he still wanted to save his life—what kind of daydream was he having?

Besides, since he knew the news about the soul bones, how could his life be spared?

Zhou Heng and Dugu Bo arrived at the side of the armored Spirit Master's corpse, which had been engulfed by the Fire Phosphorus Melting Beast's fireballs, and Zhou Heng crouched down to rummage through the corpse.

Sure enough, on the wrist of the body, there was a bracelet-style Storage Soul Guidance Device. Zhou Heng took this Storage Soul Guidance Device into his hand, injected soul power into it, and immediately saw his target—two soul bones!

Zhou Heng moved his spirit, and two glowing soul bones appeared in his hand.

Zhou Heng handed the soul bones to Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side with his eyes shining brightly.

Dugu Bo looked at the soul bones Zhou Heng handed over, examined them carefully, and said: "This is a pair of left and right leg soul bones. It looks like they were dropped from a Spirit Beast like a Wind-Calling Ghost Leopard, and both have a cultivation age of thirty-three thousand years.

I wonder where they obtained these two soul bones."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo handed these two soul bones toward Zhou Heng, intending for Zhou Heng to absorb these two soul bones to increase his cultivation.

Zhou Heng had no interest in these soul bones and pushed them back, "Old man, you should absorb these two soul bones yourself. Remember, before absorbing the soul bones, you must swallow the Yin Yang Balancing Pill."

Dugu Bo looked at Zhou Heng, feeling immensely moved. He had not yet gathered a full set of soul bones, and now that Zhou Heng was handing them to him, he was getting a huge advantage.

Dugu Bo, filled with deep emotion, put the two soul bones into his own Storage Soul Guidance Device and carefully placed the Storage Soul Guidance Device against his chest.

These soul bones must not be lost, otherwise, he would go crazy.

After searching again, Zhou Heng confirmed that there were no other spoils on these corpses.

The two of them then set off, walking toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Very quickly, Zhou Heng and Dugu Bo passed through the Poison Array and returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As soon as they entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the two felt the alternating sensation of cold and heat, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was also changing its attributes during this process of alternating cold and heat.

Dugu Bo returned to the house built within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to rest and restore his own state, preparing to absorb the two soul bones.

Zhou Heng, meanwhile, practiced near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while simultaneously contemplating the method of condensing a Soul Core, Dugu Bo's method of taming the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison within his body, and other such matters.

Zhou Heng only felt that he had a life of toil.

Once Dugu Bo had rested his spirit, he came to Zhou Heng's side, took out the two soul bones and two Yin Yang Balancing Pills from his Storage Soul Guidance Device, swallowed the two pills in one gulp, and sat cross-legged to refine the medicinal power to suppress the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in his body.

Very quickly, the medicinal power of the Yin Yang Balancing Pill was refined, and Dugu Bo picked up a left leg soul bone, pressed it against his left leg, and began to refine the soul bone.
