After returning, Dugu Bo also followed Xiao Tian to his dormitory.
Dugu Bo: "Little freak, what is this method you speak of that can further enhance my strength?"
Xiao Tian smiled and said, "I recently researched something called a Soul Core. When a Spirit Master advances to Titled Douluo, they can condense a spirit power Soul Core in their dantian. This allows the Spirit Master to fight for a longer duration, and their spirit power recovery speed will also be faster.
There is also a Mental Soul Core. As long as one's mental force also reaches the Titled Douluo realm, it can be condensed. For example, me, once my spirit power breaks through to the Spirit Saint level, I should be able to condense a Mental Soul Core first.
The effect of a Mental Soul Core is similar to that of a spirit power Soul Core, providing amplification and recovery for a Spirit Master's mental force."
Since there were no outsiders present, Da Ming and Er Ming also came out, asking curiously, "Xiao Tian, can we two condense Soul Cores? In terms of strength, we are both above the Titled Douluo level."
Xiao Tian shook his head and said, "Currently, you are in a Spirit state, without a physical body, so it should not be possible."
Da Ming and Er Ming both let out a slightly disappointed 'oh'.
It was not yet time for them to condense physical bodies; they would have to wait until after the Soul Master Competition, when Xiao Tian would travel to Shu Mountain.
By then, Xiao Tian would have sufficient self-preservation ability, even stronger than them, so there would be no need for them to remain in Xiao Tian's mental space.
Subsequently, Xiao Tian wrote down the method for condensing a Soul Core in a small booklet and handed it to Dugu Bo, saying, "Old freak, take a look first, familiarize yourself with it, and then decide whether to try it."
Dugu Bo naturally trusted Xiao Tian one hundred percent.
A quarter of an hour later, Dugu Bo took a deep breath; he had already memorized the method for condensing a Soul Core.
Dugu Bo: "Let's begin!"
Xiao Tian: "Alright, we will protect you!"
Dugu Bo sat cross-legged, immersing his mind in his spiritual World, his spirit power slowly surging, operating along the special route described in the booklet.
Initially, the circulation of spirit power was like a trickling stream, slowly gathering into a more powerful force. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped from Dugu Bo's forehead. The condensation of this Mental Soul Core required a high degree of concentration and precise control over spirit power.
As time passed, within Dugu Bo's spiritual World, a vortex of spirit power, as if materialized, began to form. Within this vortex, light flickered faintly, a manifestation of highly condensed mental force.
Dugu Bo's expression was at times tense, at times relaxed; his divine soul seemed to be undergoing a baptism.
"Condense!" Dugu Bo roared softly, and the spirit power vortex in his spiritual World suddenly contracted. A brilliant Mental Soul Core was born in his upper dantian.
In an instant, Dugu Bo felt his mental force break through a layer of shackles, becoming more acute and powerful. The range of his mental detection instantly expanded several times. The layout of Xiao Tian's room, and even tiny dust particles on the ground, were clearly presented in his mind.
However, Dugu Bo did not stop; he immediately began to condense the Ultimate Poison Soul Core.
Yes, it was the Ultimate Poison!
After he consumed the Immortal Herb and the 'Ice Fire Pill', the toxicity of his Bi Lin Snake Emperor Poison significantly improved. Coupled with the assistance of Xiao Tian's cultivation method, his current Bi Lin Snake Emperor Poison could be called an Ultimate Poison!
The Jade Phosphor SerpentSpirit released a dense dark green light, and the entire dormitory was enveloped by this poisonous light. Dugu Bo fused his own potent poison power with his spirit power, guiding this powerful force to circulate within his body along specific meridian routes.
The potent poison power surged through his meridians like a fierce poisonous dragon. Dugu Bo's body trembled slightly; the condensation of this Ultimate Poison Soul Core was more difficult than the Mental Soul Core!
It was fortunate that he could now control the Bi Lin Snake Emperor Poison freely, otherwise this attempt might truly have failed!
Finally, after a long and agonizing process, a dark green Ultimate Poison Soul Core formed in Dugu Bo's middle dantian.
As soon as this Ultimate Poison Soul Core appeared, the poisonous light in the dormitory instantly converged, all absorbed into the Ultimate Poison Soul Core. Dugu Bo's aura underwent a tremendous change; the previously formidable toxicity became more restrained and profound, yet it contained terrifying destructive power.
Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes, two sharp beams of light bursting forth. He stood up, his spirit power fluctuations like surging waves, one after another. His spirit power, which had been stuck at Level 96, surged wildly like a broken dam.
"Hahahahaha, Level 97! This Old freak has finally reached Level 97!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily. He looked at Xiao Tian, his eyes full of gratitude and excitement, "Little freak, you boy, you truly are this Old freak's benefactor!"
Dugu Bo stood up and gave Xiao Tian a strong hug.
With the Mental Soul Core and the Ultimate Poison Soul Core, he now felt that he could face Sword Dao Chenxin, who was at the same level as him, without any fear!
Da Ming and Er Ming looked at each other, wide-eyed, had it succeeded just like that?
Xiao Tian felt the aura that Dugu Bo was slightly releasing now, and looked curiously at Da Ming and Er Ming, saying, "Can you two still win against the Old freak now?"
Da Ming: ...
Er Ming: ...
Time flew by, fleeting in an instant.
Soon, the five qualifying spots for the Heaven Dou City competition area were decided.
They were Kamikaze Academy, Thunder Academy, Tianshui Academy, Blazing Academy, and Shrek Academy!
Shrek Academy, through their tactics, also defeated Canghui Academy later on, not even allowing them to use their Seven-in-One Fusion Skill before Tang San and a few others directly sent some of them flying, giving them no time to react.
And when they faced Kamikaze Academy, Thunder Academy, and Blazing Fire Academy, they directly chose to forfeit and concede.
In Yu Xiaogang's plan, they only needed to qualify as the fifth seed; there was no need to waste time with these three great elemental academies. If they got injured and it affected subsequent matches, it would not be worth the gain!
After the preliminary rounds, came the promotion rounds, which would take place a month later in the royal area of Heaven Dou City. All qualifying teams from the Heaven Dou Empire had to rush there.
Furthermore, ordinary people could not observe these promotion rounds; only Spirit Masters who had passed the preliminary rounds were qualified.
Of course, Xiao Tian and his group, as insiders, were certainly qualified, as they had a direct pass to the final round.
"Little San, since there is still a month of rest time, there's no need to wait for the promotion rounds to end. I will take you back to Saint Spirit Village now to absorb the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone left by your mother."
