Time flew swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed quickly...
The snake poison in Dugu Yan's body had been completely resolved by him half a month ago. There was no reason to let this innocent girl continue taking his newly researched antidote tricks for a few more days.
Master also advised him to let the girl go quickly!
In Yao Lao's words: If she eats for another month, Dugu Yan will turn into a poisonless Jade Phosphor Serpent.
"Yang Fan... Thanks!"
"I, Dugu Yan, will repay this favor in the future."
The month of time allowed Dugu Yan to see Yang Fan's true face clearly.
Fire attribute Soul Masters didn't seem as hateful as imagined.
Of course!
The scope of this Fire attribute Soul Master was limited to Yang Fan only.
Dugu Yan still deeply hated Huo Wu, who had been looking for trouble with her during this period.
"Goodbye!"
Whether Dugu Yan repaid his favor or not didn't matter to him.
What mattered was Dugu Bo!
However, this month of getting along with Dugu Yan gave him an idea he considered quite good.
Dugu Bo was a stubborn old man, but Dugu Yan's words were very pleasant to his ears.
If he could find a way to let Dugu Yan persuade him...
...
After sending Dugu Yan off, Yang Fan returned to the academy immediately.
Swallow!
Swallow!
Swallow the Dragon Bone Pill!
The Dragon Bone Pill had been refined by him a month ago, and only today did he have the best opportunity to swallow it.
According to Yao Lao...
This pill could increase his body strength by another level, which would be greatly beneficial for his absorption of the fifth soul ring.
Speaking of the next soul ring, he wasn't in a hurry.
Just like when he absorbed the third soul ring, he would save up his strength and go for a big one directly.
"Don't just stand there."
"While the group of idiots in the academy are out watching the competition, hurry up and eat the pill."
Yang Fan hesitated no longer, immediately stuffing the Dragon Bone Pill into his mouth.
In an instant...
A wave of warm energy exploded in his mouth, then rolled down his throat.
Although the grade of the Dragon Bone Pill wasn't great, it was refined from immortal grass inside the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Especially after becoming a pill, the effect was immediate.
As the exploded energy flowed through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, Yang Fan could truly feel the changes the Dragon Bone Pill brought to his body.
This Dragon Bone Pill was different from the body-strengthening pills he had taken before.
If the previous pills were a rough remodeling of the body, then this Dragon Bone Pill was nourishing the bones.
During the process of energy flowing through the meridians, it continuously injected into the bones, as if filling gaps within the bones.
In an instant...
Yang Fan felt an obvious swelling sensation throughout his skeletal structure.
Whether this filling made his body grow taller was hard to say, but his bones were definitely visibly stronger. Even while enjoying this nourishment from the pill, he heard a faint dragon roar.
This was the charm of the Dragon Bone Pill!
The sensation of skeletal swelling lasted for about three hours.
Then it disappeared!
Yang Fan's body gradually lost the feeling of being nourished by the Dragon Bone Pill.
This was one of the wonders of immortal grass becoming a pill.
Most of the immortal grade medicinal herbs from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well could accompany one until around the Soul Saint level.
But after being refined into pills, it was different!
Just like the Blue Silver Dragon Bone Pill Yao Lao refined for him before, the rapid recovery of soul power and Dou Qi could last throughout his cultivation career.
But the pill he was taking now was through pill condensation, causing its effect to burst out in a short period.
"How do you feel?"
Seeing the visible changes in Yang Fan's body, Yao Lao, as the master, could hardly hide the joy in his heart.
"Very good."
He was now full of strength, feeling like he could kill a 10,000-year soul beast with just one punch.
The Douluo Continent didn't have a clear level classification for body strength.
However...
There was a precedent of successfully absorbing a 50,000-year soul ring before his eyes. During this period, he successfully absorbed the Fire Dragon Flame and Ice Dragon Flame, plus a bone-nourishing Dragon Bone Pill.
80,000 years!
The fifth soul ring absolutely cannot be lower than 80,000 years, otherwise it wouldn't be worth all the good stuff he had eaten.
This was a small goal he had set for himself.
"Brat."
"Your current body strength is almost catching up to your grandpa Yang Wudi."
Yao Lao stared at Yang Fan.
This brat was only nine years old.
A 9-year-old 8-star Dou Shi, body strength comparable to a Soul Douluo, Soul King strength that others would take twenty or even thirty years to achieve.
His choice six years ago was correct.
Of course!
This was also because Yang Fan was hardworking enough.
...
After the excitement...
Yang Fan became even clearer about what he needed to do next.
Cultivate!
Cultivate!
Cultivate!
Important things must be said three times.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, and the Dou Qi throughout his body began to circulate rhythmically at this moment.
Since the Flame Mantra successfully advanced to the Xuan Tier, his cultivation speed had also increased visibly.
Currently, he was an 8-star Dou Shi!
At the current cultivation speed, he estimated he could successfully promote to Da Dou Shi within half a year.
From Dou Shi to Da Dou Shi, it was not just a change in level.
Dou Qi Armor, Dou Qi External Release, Qi Condensation into solid state, Dou Crystal.
These were all changes after promoting to Da Dou Shi!
Especially Dou Qi Armor and Dou Qi External Release; one could greatly increase his defense capability, and the other could greatly increase the release distance of Dou Skills.
Just like Yao Lao!
With a snap of the fingers, instantly killing a Level 88 Soul Douluo.
Very quickly!
Yang Fan had already entered the cultivation state...
While catalyzing the Flame Mantra to circulate Dou Qi, his restless heart generated a surge of agitation.
The temptation of the Three-Colored Fire Lotus made Yang Fan set his sights on the flames inside his body.
He currently had a total of four different flames inside his body. If he could fuse them together to form a Four-Colored Fire Lotus...
The power would definitely not be bad!
Once the idea was settled, Yang Fan had already catalyzed the Dou Qi inside his body to 'matchmake' them.
Buzz—!
The originally calm and balanced Dou Qi and Soul Power instantly stirred up a storm within Yang Fan's body.
Yang Fan was forcibly pushed out of the cultivation state by the sudden fluctuation.
A restless energy shot straight to his brain, making him feel dizzy before his eyes.
"Yang Fan?!"
Yao Lao, who detected the situation was wrong immediately, used his spiritual power to protect Yang Fan's head.
Qi Deviation?
Yao Lao wasn't sure.
His first reaction was to protect Yang Fan's head, preventing this kid from becoming an idiot due to Dou Qi rushing up.
The second reaction was to use gentle Dou Qi to comb through the chaotic Dou Qi and Soul Power inside Yang Fan's body.
"Brat."
"What new trick are you playing again?"
Yao Lao knew his beloved disciple too well.
If it was just normal cultivation, with Yang Fan's current strength and state of mind, he would absolutely not make this kind of low-level mistake.
There was only one explanation: This kid is asking for trouble!
