Chapter 63: Trivialities—2

Zhou Heng stood by to protect Dugu Bo, and at the same time, to accumulate experience for his own future refining of soul bones.

He saw Dugu Bo's soul power gather in his left leg, flowing from there into the soul bone pressed against his leg; as more and more of Dugu Bo's soul power was injected, this soul bone slowly began to fuse with Dugu Bo's left leg.

Just like that, it took Dugu Bo a full hour to completely refine this left leg soul bone, and the soul power within Dugu Bo's body gained the never-before-refined Life Essence from within the soul bone, directly receiving a boost that pushed his soul power close to the ninety-third level.

After Dugu Bo refined the left leg bone, he hurriedly took out the right leg bone and began to refine it.

After another hour, once the right leg bone was completely refined, Dugu Bo's soul power, which had already been boosted once, increased by another level, reaching the ninety-third level.

The increase in soul power drove an increase in the life force within Dugu Bo's body, making Dugu Bo's originally withered face and dry hair brighten up.

From his outward appearance, Dugu Bo now looked more than twenty years younger than when he had ninety-first level soul power.

Dugu Bo felt his once-again increased soul power and was incomparably surprised in his heart; he had not increased his soul power for twenty years since breaking through to become a Title Douluo.

Now, in just five or six days, he had actually broken through repeatedly to reach ninety-third level soul power.

All of this was obtained thanks to Zhou Heng; in the future, he and Yanyan must get much closer to him.

Zhou Heng watched Dugu Bo finish refining the left and right leg bones, thinking that the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison within Dugu Bo's body should now be suppressed by Dugu Bo.

After all, these two increases in Dugu Bo's soul power had not allowed the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in his body to gain any benefit at all.

And after Dugu Bo refined the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, he had then consecutively refined two leg soul bones, which made Dugu Bo's spiritual power and soul power both stronger than that Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison.

He needed to quickly deduce a cultivation technique for Dugu Bo that could resolve the backlash of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, so as to make Dugu Bo completely submit; this was his own foundation, so he had to cultivate him well.

Dugu Bo thought about how he hadn't returned home yet after his improvement.

"Little Heng, I plan to go back once; after all, my soul power has improved, so I must go and announce it to the world." Dugu Bo looked at Zhou Heng and proposed his idea.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I don't plan to go back now; you go back yourself. I want to stay here to study how to completely control the backlash of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison and find a solution."

Dugu Bo failed to get Zhou Heng to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and return to his Dugu family, which meant he couldn't let Dugu Yan and Zhou Heng cultivate their relationship, so he could only go home alone.

After Dugu Bo returned home, he displayed his strength and sent invitations to various nobles and powerhouses in Heaven Dou City, inviting them to attend a banquet for his improvement in cultivation.

Just like that, Dugu Bo held a banquet, but many people did not know that Dugu Bo had improved to the ninety-third level, all thinking that Dugu Bo had improved to the ninety-second level of soul power.

Everyone felt it was normal for Dugu Bo to improve by one level of soul power; after all, since Dugu Bo had broken through to Title Douluo, there had been no news of further improvement, so it was normal for news of a soul power increase to suddenly arrive now.

Only a small number of people, relying on the changes in Dugu Bo's appearance and the soul power aura that Dugu Bo had just broken through and not yet fully mastered, judged that Dugu Bo had now broken through to the ninety-third level.

These people included the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family; Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo behind him quietly watched Dugu Bo, who was interacting with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family not far away, and the two conversed about their respective views in voices that were almost imperceptible.

And not far away, the branch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family in Heaven Dou City also had their own thoughts as they watched Dugu Bo's momentum.

The three Education Committee Members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy watched Dugu Bo conversing with the various nobles and, feeling the somewhat uncontrollable aura on Dugu Bo's body, all understood that this was definitely not a sign of only breaking through by one level of soul power.

Just as Dugu Bo finished his conversation with the nobles, the next moment, Ning Fengzhi and the person in charge of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family walked up to befriend Dugu Bo.

They all understood that a poison-attribute Title Douluo with at least ninety-third level soul power would have a lethality no lower than that of a Super Douluo.

Although the powerhouses within the sects would not fear Dugu Bo's deadly poison, those low-cultivation Spirit Masters would not be able to withstand it.

On the other side, Zhou Heng was cultivating within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; after subduing the Fire Phosphorus Molten Beast, Zhou Heng had broken through to the forty-second level, and here in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Zhou Heng felt the elemental powers between heaven and earth.

What he had thought of before was cultivating the Heavenly Stem Power, but after several years of cultivation, Zhou Heng discovered that the Heavenly Stem Power he had cultivated was not the true Heavenly Stem Power at all.

It was just a special element with a trace of Heavenly Stem Power characteristics, and after he injected his soul power and compressed it, these special elements appeared very strong.

After careful research, Zhou Heng also determined that it was not a problem with his aptitude that he could not cultivate Heavenly Stem Power, but that the Douluo World did not allow Heavenly Stem Power to appear in this world.

Here, the Five Elements existed, but there would be no Heavenly Stem Power.

Zhou Heng speculated that the Douluo World mainly relied on the existence of the Five Elements, and those elements like thunder, wind, and ice were all just derivatives of the Five Elements.

And Heavenly Stem Power was a derivation of the various characteristics of the Five Elements, which later differentiated into two extremes to achieve Heavenly Stem Power.

Zhou Heng could not change the rules of the Douluo World at all right now, so Heavenly Stem Power would not appear in the Douluo World; at most, only some special elements with Heavenly Stem Power characteristics could appear.

Zhou Heng speculated that only by possessing the strength of a Second-Level God and changing the rules of the Douluo World could Heavenly Stem Power appear in the Douluo World.

Zhou Heng had no way to deal with this, so he could only give up the idea of pursuing Heavenly Stem Power and instead turn to the Five Elements attributes, taking the Five Elements attributes to the extreme to achieve an Extreme Attribute.

By then, his strength would still not lose to what he had predicted.

Just like that, Zhou Heng began his research, and since this was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire coexisted, he could also see how to make multiple Extreme Attributes coexist within his body.

Furthermore, Zhou Heng still had to deduce a cultivation technique for Dugu Bo that could completely control the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in his body, which made Zhou Heng work even harder.

It was not until two days later that Dugu Bo returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; along the way, Dugu Bo could be said to be careful, careful, and even more careful, completely clearing away his tracks.

After circling the Sunset Forest several more times, he finally found a way to enter the Sunset Forest and walk into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
