Even Meng Yiran at his side—what did her serpent-body soul skill have to do with her Serpent Staff martial soul anyway?
Xiao Yan couldn't help recalling others as well, while also examining his own soul skills.
His first soul skill was Little Yi, the second was Gravity Control, the third included Little Snow and Invincible Golden Body, the fourth was Abyss of Eternal Darkness…
It seemed that, aside from the second soul skill having some vague connection to the Blue Silver Emperor plant martial soul, not a single one of them could be considered "normal."
Who would have thought that even after being so cautious, he was still misled by that so-called "master."
Sigh. If he had spent even a little time truly mingling among soul masters, he wouldn't have been坑得这么惨—scammed this badly.
There were significant flaws in the cultivation system of Douluo soul masters. Even so-called "common knowledge" among soul masters now seemed questionable.
Damn it—he should've anticipated this earlier.
After all, expecting a group of people who had relied on meditation-based cultivation for over a thousand years to achieve flawless progress was, frankly speaking, unrealistic.
But the real problem was—how had he resisted that time-freezing soul skill?
Was it simply because of his overwhelming strength?
That didn't quite add up. The Titan Vine Ape and Azure Vine Serpent beneath his feet had been completely frozen in place.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan recalled the Dark Devilgod Tiger inner core he had once consumed.
Could it be…?
It was precisely after consuming that inner core that he had acquired lightning, wind, darkness, and evil attributes.
Judging from the Dark Devilgod Tiger's abilities, it possessed far more than just four attributes. That final Life-and-Death Arena was clearly a dual-attribute skill of time and space.
Could it be that… although his body hadn't gained the ability to actively wield time and space, it had developed a certain resistance to attacks of those attributes?
Xiao Yan didn't dwell on it further. Instead, his gaze fell on the emerald-green, jade-like pellet in his hand.
"This thing…"
With a thought, he withdrew the two vine beasts. Xiao Yan slowly descended to the ground and walked toward Dugu Bo.
Watching Xiao Yan approach step by step, Dugu Bo knew he had suffered a devastating loss this time.
"Kid, your strength is indeed terrifying. I, Dugu Bo, do not feel wronged losing to you. But if you intend to make a move against me—if this pill shatters, you won't fare well either. At best, we'll perish together."
"Dugu Bo? Then you must be Dugu Yan's grandfather," Xiao Yan murmured. Casually, he tossed the pill back to Dugu Bo. "Take it. I have no intention of killing you."
Carefully catching his pill, Dugu Bo was genuinely surprised.
That threat had merely been bluster.
With Xiao Yan's strength, even if the pill exploded, it might not be enough to poison him to death.
After swallowing the pill again, Dugu Bo's complexion recovered noticeably. He stared at Xiao Yan in astonishment.
This kid had already guessed his purpose tonight. He knew Dugu Bo had come to kill him—yet after winning, he harbored no killing intent.
"Don't look at me like that. If I were you, I'd probably have done the same," Xiao Yan said calmly. With a wave of his hand, he condensed two vine chairs and a table, then sat down leisurely in the Sunset Forest.
Seeing Xiao Yan's demeanor, Dugu Bo sat in the other chair, puzzled."Since that's the case, why let me go? If I were you, I wouldn't leave future trouble behind."
"Silencing someone to cover up the secret of a flawed martial soul is the simplest and most beneficial move for oneself. To ordinary people, such behavior may seem vicious—but it's understandable."
Xiao Yan spoke with complete composure. He even took out a tea set from his storage jade belt and skillfully brewed tea in the perilous Sunset Forest, as if he were in a tranquil woodland retreat.
"Most people are obsessed with defining good and evil, obsessed with finding the 'optimal solution.' But how many optimal solutions are there in this world? How much black and white truly exists? Are those who stand above others and enjoy endless glory necessarily good people? Do soul beasts deserve, by birthright, to become soul rings for soul masters?"
"The truth is often the opposite. Those who live the hardest lives and die the earliest are always the poor. Soul beasts thrive and reproduce in forests, yet they must face slaughter by soul masters—just so others can obtain soul rings to break through their own limitations. This is clearly the soul masters' incompetence, yet soul beasts bear the cost."
"Who in this world hasn't committed evil at some point? Yet people demand purity and flawlessness from others. The moment someone makes a mistake, they ridicule them with words—lenient with themselves, harsh with others."
Listening to Xiao Yan's words—far beyond his years—Dugu Bo chuckled."You're not only strange in strength, kid. Your mind is strange too. But… it suits my taste."
"If you truly were me, you'd understand why I didn't kill you," Xiao Yan smiled faintly. "I won't hide it—if I wanted to kill you, at most you'd only have time to activate your martial soul."
Dugu Bo spat out a mouthful of hot tea.He was a dignified Titled Douluo—how could he be so utterly helpless?!
Xiao Yan continued slowly, "I've heard that beast-type martial souls have great difficulty absorbing poison-attributed soul rings. If one tries to attach such rings, they'd poison themselves first."
"When I met your granddaughter, I noticed the snake poison eroding her body. She likely doesn't have much time left. Your appearance at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy surprised me. By common logic, you should've died from your own poison long ago."
"But during our battle just now, I suddenly understood. That poison pill is likely a crucial reason you've survived."
When his martial soul was mentioned, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious."You brat—not only strange in strength, but you even understand poison?"
Xiao Yan replied calmly, "Medicine, poison, alchemy—I'm proficient in all of them. The poison in your body, and the poison in your granddaughter's body—I can cure both. I'll just need to gather some rare medicinal ingredients. That may take some effort."
"R-Really?" Dugu Bo's mouth fell open in shock. He quickly regained his composure."You wouldn't help our grandfather and granddaughter for no reason. Speak. What's your purpose?"
Medicinal herbs were no issue—his garden was full of them.
What he feared was that Xiao Yan's goal might be far from ordinary.
Xiao Yan took a sip of tea. After today's cultivation, he had nearly been drained dry—his body felt like it had been wrung out by five juicers.
If Ning Rongrong heard this, she'd jump up and fight him for eight hundred rounds. Clearly, it was the five of them who had been completely suppressed the whole time.
Doggy-style, stacked positions…
Xiao Yan had practically played every trick in the book. Those exquisite stockings had been torn to shreds by this violent maniac.
Even the white-jade agate defensive soul tools on their bodies had nearly been kneaded apart by his soul power.
Setting down the teacup, Xiao Yan said,"Let's first talk about your Green Phosphorus Snake martial soul. The reason you're poisoned by your own martial soul is simple—humans and beasts are fundamentally different. You don't possess the venom sacs that snakes use to store poison."
