"Seven Titled Douluos?"
Little Snake's eyes lit up at the number.
Old Snake and Old Scorpion were stunned. "Young Master, is this true or false?"
Upon careful consideration, the Young Master's words might indeed hold truth.
After the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountain gates, outsiders knew nothing of the sect's affairs.
All sect members devoted themselves to cultivation out of resentment—breaking through realms wasn't impossible.
The Clear Sky Sect's elders weren't old, having been Soul Douluos when the gates closed.
Now, eleven years later, Old Snake and Old Scorpion found it hard to believe none had broken through.
"Anything is possible!"
Dugu Feng said mysteriously.
They truly had seven—eight if counting the hidden former sect master Tang Bo.
Plus Tang Chen, who was possessed by the King of Slaughter.
The Clear Sky Sect's strength was never weak to begin with.
The Spirit Hall had nurtured a tiger to its own detriment, acting utterly foolish.
"I understand, Young Master. I'll head to Star Dou Great Forest and leak the news from supply towns nearby.
It won't trace back to our family at all, yet will spread like wildfire!"
Old Snake chuckled darkly twice.
For an old hand like him, such tasks were child's play.
Old Scorpion also felt eager, inexplicably excited.
He anticipated the waves this news would cause in the Spirit Master World.
Naturally, Dugu Feng, hailing from Blue Star, understood information dissemination better.
Wasn't Blue Star's news full of shock tactics and sensational essays?
Shocking! Did you think the continent only had a dozen Titled Douluos?
Earth-shattering! What has the world's top sect, Clear Sky Sect, been doing all these years?
Breaking news! The continent's largest hidden power!
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west—they're on their path of vengeance, destined to shock the world someday!
Why are ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts fleeing Star Dou Great Forest? Because too many Clear Sky Sect Titled Douluos have broken through.
Once these topics spread, they'd undoubtedly become every Soul Master's first gossip topic.
It might even transcend the Spirit Master World, reaching idle nobles bird-watching in teahouses and taverns across cities.
Dugu Feng shared some Blue Star methods with Old Snake and Old Scorpion.
"Young Master, you're truly a genius!"
"The Clear Sky Sect will be played to death by you!"
Admiration shone in Old Snake, Old Scorpion, and Little Snake's eyes.
"Now it's your show, Old Snake!"
Dugu Feng emphasized.
Old Snake thumped his chest confidently: "Rest assured, Young Master!"
With these arrangements made, Dugu Feng felt much more at ease.
He then recalled the four single-attribute clan leaders—particularly the Destruction Clan, which he'd intended to subdue.
But remembering Tang Bo lurking in the shadows, Dugu Feng abandoned the idea.
Perhaps some clan members maintained contact with Tang Bo.
The Dugu Family couldn't reveal its ambitions prematurely.
For now, focusing on strength improvement was paramount—the family only had three Soul Saints as top combatants.
Far too few.
His father was about to break through to Soul Douluo, and Old Scorpion would soon become a Soul Saint. Then, the family's top combatants would be one Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints—a vastly improved situation.
Poison Spirit Masters could silently administer poison, and even a Soul Saint could accomplish much, let alone a Soul Douluo.
That very day, Old Snake departed, and Old Scorpion began secluded cultivation, vowing to break through to the Soul Saint realm.
Dugu Feng had Little Snake summon another Family Soul Master.
This was the Family Soul Master with the Flower Spider Martial Soul who had appeared during their trip to Suotuo City.
The Flower Spider was a small spider-type Spirit Beast, with vividly colored patterns on its abdomen and back. It loved to weave webs in forests and flower patches to hunt.
Of course, such bright colors also signified extreme toxicity.
This Flower Spider Soul Master was known as the Flower King within the Dugu Family. Several years ago, when he went to Suotuo City, his Soul Power Level was that of a Soul King.
He remained a Soul King to this day, with a Soul Power Level of 57.
Aside from Old Scorpion and the others, he was the strongest in the family.
When the Flower King entered the main hall, Dugu Feng couldn't help but marvel at how handsome he was.
Was it due to the influence of his Martial Soul?
His complexion was pale and delicate, almost like a woman's.
With refined features and a gentle countenance, he appeared to be in his twenties. If he were in noble circles, he would undoubtedly be highly sought after.
In reality, the Flower King was already over forty.
"Flower King, Old Scorpion and Old Snake are occupied with important matters. For now, you'll be in charge of family affairs!" Dugu Feng ordered.
"Ah, Young Master, I'm not suited for this!" The Flower King's voice was as delicate as his appearance, sending shivers down Dugu Feng's spine.
"You're already a high-level Soul King, soon to be a Soul Emperor. You must shoulder the family's responsibilities. Once the family grows stronger, I plan to establish a position for an elder.
Look, you're the fourth strongest in the family. Can't you show a bit more ambition?"
Dugu Feng spoke earnestly, painting a grand picture. Old Nine and Xiao Jiu were hidden assets, so he didn't count Old Nine among them.
"It's nothing too demanding. I'll stay within the family—just notify me if anything comes up.
Guiding the clan members in cultivation, distributing medicinal pills, and assisting them in obtaining Spirit Rings during breakthroughs—these are all simple tasks!" Dugu Feng waved his hand, making the decision final.
The Flower King blinked. The Young Master's words made perfect sense.
Could he really become an elder of the family?
Lost in thought, he withdrew.
Meanwhile, Dugu Feng took advantage of his free time to communicate with each Family Soul Master one by one.
Aside from the Flower King, there was another Soul King in the family—a Soul Master with the Ice Toad Martial Soul, at the 53rd Soul Power Level.
The rest of the clan consisted of over thirty other Soul Masters, all at the Soul Ancestor level or below.
Dugu Feng's current understanding of cultivation far surpassed theirs, making him more than qualified to teach them.
Whether it was combat, Soul Power meditation, or poison research, Dugu Feng believed his childhood under Dugu Shuo's relentless training, combined with his External Soul Bone, Core Pearl, and Domain, gave him insights far beyond those of ordinary Soul Masters.
He spent over a month helping and guiding the clan members in their cultivation.
This wasn't because Dugu Feng enjoyed teaching—it was mainly because he felt the family's strength was still too weak.
He needed to contribute.
"Young Master, you're now a god in the hearts of our clansmen!" Little Snake said admiringly.
During this time, he had stayed by Dugu Feng's side and learned a great deal.
Dugu Feng sat cross-legged, a white ripple flashing across his body.
The ripple flickered in and out, continuously retracting and expanding.
He was cultivating the Slaughter God Domain.
He believed Little Snake's words.
Ever since he had cured the family's Soul Masters of their poison, not a single one had died from toxicity in all this time.
With the toxin issue alleviated, these suffering Soul Masters devoted themselves to cultivation, and their Soul Power Levels all improved.
How could they not regard Dugu Feng as a god?
"Little Snake, the Clear Sky Sect has so many Titled Douluo. Don't you have any thoughts about it?" Dugu Feng asked.
Little Snake, his face flushed and his gaze resolute, replied, "Save one for Old Snake, one for the Young Master—the rest are mine!"
"You're still far from that level. Train harder, or I might even catch up to you!"
At those words, Little Snake fell silent, and the training ground was left in quiet cultivation.
Once I get my hands on an Immortal Herb, I'll give one to Little Snake. That thing can alter one's cultivation talent—it'll turn him into a top-tier genius.
Dugu Feng pondered.
