Chapter 139: Breakthrough
Lin Yang took in the flickering, uncertain expression on Dugu Bo's face.
He could roughly guess what Old Poison was thinking.
Ultimate Poison... it wasn't entirely impossible.
One had to remember that the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss was still planted in the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Well.
This Immortal Herb, the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, was extremely unique; it contained no poison itself, yet it was known as the "Herb of Extreme Poison."
This was because it could amplify toxins a thousand or even ten thousand times; even the slightest trace of poison would turn into a lethal toxin under its influence.
Theoretically, as long as Old Poison consumed the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, he could achieve Ultimate Poison.
The problem was that no one could withstand that terrifying toxicity.
But if he could condense a poison-attribute Martial Soul core while simultaneously controlling the effects of the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, attacking from both sides might just work.
Of course, Dugu Bo already possessed a Dan Pearl.
But a Dan Pearl was just a Dan Pearl; it was ultimately different from a Martial Soul core, and its effects were weaker than a Martial Soul core.
Trying to use a Dan Pearl to carry Ultimate Poison would be courting death.
Lin Yang did not say these things out loud.
It wasn't that he didn't trust him, but rather he feared Dugu Bo would be too eager for quick success.
The Martial Soul core method was common knowledge in later generations, but in this era, no one had attempted it. Trying it rashly would lead to regrets that would be too late to mend.
After his Nichirin Blade Martial Soul awakened Ultimate Metal, Lin Yang could clearly feel that his Cultivate speed had slowed down significantly, though it was still within an acceptable range.
After all, he practiced Sun Breathing continuously every day, and bit by bit, it accumulated into a very considerable amount of progress.
Outside of Cultivate, he spent more time pondering how to integrate his complex attributes into his sword forms to strengthen his offensive capabilities.
Meanwhile, Little Rabbit, Yanzi, and Ye Lingling were not falling behind, their Cultivate progress steadily improving.
Just like that, a year and a half passed quietly.
A year and a half later, among the three girls around Lin Yang, it was Little Rabbit who first reached a Breakthrough to level 50, even though she was only twelve years old this year.
Compared to her original level 29 Soul Power at twelve years old, Little Rabbit's progress was immense.
Although, to a large extent, it was forced out of her by Lin Yang.
A month later, unwilling to fall behind, Dugu Yan also reached a Breakthrough to level 50.
Ye Lingling, having started a bit slower, was currently at level 48, but she was still steadily moving forward.
As for Lin Yang himself, he was at level 55.
This speed was much slower than before, but compared to an ordinary Soul King, it was already very fast.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Looking at Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan breaking through one after another, even with his high tolerance, Qin Ming couldn't help but feel a wave of dizziness.
Freaks appear every year, but this year there are especially many.
If one counted Lin Yang, the entire Heaven Dou Team 1 currently had three Soul Kings.
It was also a certainty that Ye Lingling would reach the five-ring level before the Martial Soul Elite Tournament.
By then, Heaven Dou Team 1 would have four Soul Kings.
Even Spirit Hall could absolutely not assemble a more luxurious competition lineup than this.
He could even imagine the stunned silence that would fall over the entire venue when they appeared.
If not for the image of a "role model," he would have really wanted to shout out loud right now: "Who else is there?"
Upon learning that Lin Yang planned to take Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for a Soul Ring, Qin Ming just pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Lingling going?"
Qin Ming knew the relationship between them was extraordinary; with this trip to find a Soul Ring for Dugu Yan, it was very likely that Ye Lingling would also go along.
But if that happened, his original plan to take Shi Mo and the others to the Great Soul Fighting Arena for combat training would have to change.
After all, only with Lingling's support would he feel confident enough to let his students challenge the arena.
Speaking of which, Oslo and the others had also made significant progress over this past year.
After all, with so many monsters around them, Oslo and the others naturally felt immense pressure; they didn't dare to slack off, and all of them started to push themselves harder.
Where there is pressure, there is motivation.
Currently, the two Shi brothers were both level 39 Soul Elders and were not far from becoming Soul Sects.
Oslo and Yufeng were slightly behind, but they also had level 38 Soul Power.
If they followed Qin Ming's training plan, not to mention everyone reaching Soul Sect, at least the Shi brothers would definitely have no problem.
Lin Yang relayed Qin Ming's meaning to Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling thought about it carefully and ultimately chose to stay at the academy.
Although she really wanted to be by Lin Yang's side, her role in this Martial Soul hunt would not be very significant.
It would be better to stay at the academy to help Teacher Qin, and she could also take the opportunity to practice at the Great Soul Fighting Arena.
Lin Yang didn't say much about this.
The three of them packed up simply and set off on the journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, before they departed, Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu were at daggers drawn.
Originally, Dugu Yan wanted to take this opportunity to enjoy some time alone with Lin Yang, perhaps even having a chance to be the first to win his heart.
She was already nineteen; if she didn't give herself to him soon, she would become an old maid.
As a result, this stupid rabbit ruined her good plan by insisting on coming along.
She already had her fifth Soul Ring, after all.
If this wasn't targeting her, what was it?
"Dead rabbit," Dugu Yan said through gritted teeth, lowering her voice, "Are you determined to go against me?"
"Old woman," Little Rabbit snorted coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm going this time to visit my former academy teacher."
"Hmph, any school that could teach someone like you definitely isn't a good one," Dugu Yan mocked secretly.
"That's still better than you!"
Just as the two were about to lose control and strike, Lin Yang coughed lightly, "Time to go!"
"Hmph!"
Dugu Yan flicked her waist and strode directly toward the carriage.
Little Rabbit naturally didn't want to show weakness, using Teleportation to get ahead and sit inside the carriage first.
Dugu Yan was naturally furious.
Lin Yang sighed inwardly; he feared the journey ahead would not be peaceful.
Because this Martial Soul hunt was not urgent, the three of them basically played as they traveled, taking half a month to finally reach Soto City.
Then, Little Rabbit very showily brought Dugu Yan to the courtyard where she and Lin Yang had previously lived.
Although it hadn't been cleaned for a long time and was covered in a layer of dust, this was nothing to Xiao Wu.
With a sweep of her Soul Power, the entire room became clean.
"Hmph, I'm going to stay at a hotel!"
Dugu Yan glared fiercely at Xiao Wu and then turned to leave.
Lin Yang "warned" Little Rabbit with his eyes, then reached out to grab Dugu Yan: "You can stay in my room today; I'll sleep in the living room."
Dugu Yan's expression softened slightly.
She knew that Lin Yang had known the stupid rabbit longer than he had known her, and she no longer hoped to push this stupid rabbit away.
But Lin Yang absolutely could not play favorites; that was her bottom line.
"I'm going out for a bit; who's coming with me?" Lin Yang asked.
"I'm not going; call me when it's time to eat."
Dugu Yan waved her hand and walked into Lin Yang's room, swaying her waist.
With a "click," she closed the door and threw herself onto the bed.
"Hmph!"
Little Rabbit rolled her eyes at Lin Yang and also returned to her room.
"These two young mistresses are really hard to please!"
Lin Yang muttered to himself, suddenly thinking of Ye Lingling.
Lingling is still the best; she doesn't fight or compete.
