The Shocked Dugu Bo

Chapter 66 The Shocked Dugu Bo

Inside the cave.

Shen Hanyu and Dugu Bo sat facing each other at a stone table, where steaming tea emitted a faint fragrance.

This is tea made by Dugu Bo using special medicinal herbs. It has a slight medicinal effect, and long-term consumption can even strengthen the body and enhance soul power.

Shen Hanyu took a small sip, savoring the slightly bitter taste, and smacked his lips lightly, clearly enjoying the flavor.

Dugu Bo had absolutely no interest in drinking tea and asked with a stern face:

"Boy, now you can tell me what you've been up to all this time. Even I can smell the scent of death on you..."

Shen Hanyu coughed lightly twice, thought for a moment, and said:

"Old Biden, let's not talk about that now. I have a question for you: what do you think is the limit of a human Soul Master?"

Dugu Bo was taken aback, then pondered for a moment and said:

"As far as I know, the limit for a human Soul Master is not the Peerless Douluo level, but rather level ninety-nine. What? Did your brain get ruined after your trip down there? You've even forgotten this?"

Shen Hanyu smiled and shook his head, saying softly:

"Old Biden, why don't you think about it a little further? Level ninety-nine isn't the limit for humanity; it's just the beginning. I can tell you with absolute certainty that gods truly exist, and the realm of gods truly exists..."

After a pause, Shen Hanyu observed Dugu Bo's drastically changed expression and continued:

"There are many trials from the gods in this world. The gods will choose those human soul masters with outstanding talents to become their successors. Those who are chosen are called divine examiners. Of course, judging from the current power on the continent, there have already been successors of the gods. However, these people are too mysterious. Each of them is a genius who has reached the pinnacle of his generation..."

Dugu Bo's somewhat thin hands exerted force, crushing the white jade teacup into powder. Dugu Bo opened his somewhat dry lips, but no sound came out.

Shen Hanyu sighed softly, but decided to say a little more:

"The current Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, is the inheritor of the first-level main god, Rakshasa God. She and Qian Renxue, the daughter of the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, inherited the Spirit Hall's family-inherited god-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel. Their innate soul power reached level 20, and they are also inheritors of the first-level main god, the Angel God. These are already two inheritors of top-level gods..."

Dugu Bo suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with unprecedented shock, and said in disbelief:

"Bibi Dong has actually become the successor of a deity, but wasn't the daughter of the previous pope supposed to have died young? How could she still be alive?"

Shen Hanyu rolled her eyes and said:

"The Spirit Hall wants to prove that there are countless ways for a person to die, and only people like you believe that. Don't you think about it carefully? As the only bloodline inheritor of the Angel lineage, how could the Spirit Hall allow it to die so easily..."

Dugu Bo forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice:

"Then how did you know these earth-shattering secrets? Don't try to fool me. These things can't be known from hearsay."

Shen Hanyu shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness:

"You heard it too, the gods choose suitable, exceptionally talented human soul masters to inherit their divine positions. With my talent, isn't it perfectly normal for me to gain the favor of the gods?"

Dugu Bo paced rapidly within the cave, finally slapping Shen Hanyu hard on the shoulder, and said in disbelief:

"Are you sure you're not trying to fool me, kid?"

Shen Hanyu coughed twice, his face paling even more, but he still nodded.

Dugu Bo's gaze darkened, and then he said:

"Something's not right with you, kid..."

Without waiting for a reply, Dugu Bo grabbed Shen Hanyu's wrist and felt his pulse.

"Your meridians are damaged, your internal organs are also severely injured, and your soul power is flowing backward. These are all signs of damage to your very essence. Kid, your injuries are very serious. If it weren't for your strong body and abundant soul power, you would probably be half-dead by now."

Dugu Bo's voice was deep, but Shen Hanyu unexpectedly sensed a hint of worry in it.

Shen Hanyu smiled indifferently and said:

"If this is the place where two gods fell, and I made a significant deal with their remnant souls, and these injuries are because of that, Old Bitden, do you believe me?"

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted slightly, but what Shen Hanyu had said earlier had already given him some resistance. He just asked with some curiosity:

"Making a deal with the gods, lad, you've got some nerve. Can you tell me why?"

Shen Hanyu nodded and took a sip of tea.

The warm tea flowed gently through his internal organs, improving his complexion slightly, before he spoke:

"The gods in the divine realm are generally divided into the lowest-ranking priests, followed by third-level gods, second-level gods, first-level gods, and finally the god-king level."

"The two who perished beneath this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire were first-level deities, except... they were deities of soul beasts..."

……

"A deity of soul beasts?"

Dugu Bo muttered to himself, then waited for what he would say next.

Shen Hanyu nodded and said:

"I made a deal with them, making them my second spirit in another form. At the same time... I absorbed their divine spirit bones... This is also the main reason for my injury."

Dugu Bo suddenly stood up, his hands trembling slightly from shock.

Shen Hanyu observed Dugu Bo's expression and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party meant no harm.

The reason he dares to say these things to Dugu Bo now is twofold: first, he has the basic ability to protect himself; and second, he wants to test Dugu Bo's character.

In any case, Dugu Bo's poison had almost no effect on him anymore. As a quasi-Soul Douluo with super Douluo-level mental power, he was indeed no longer afraid of Dugu Bo.

After a long silence, Dugu Bo sighed softly, waved his hand, and said:

"You have your good fortune, and I don't ask for more. I only ask that you help Yanyan in the future. I have no other chance to do so, and naturally I don't want to force it..."

Shen Hanyu nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said:

"Old Biden, once I obtain my eighth spirit ring, I can help you condense the poison pill. With my help this time, I'm at least 90% confident of success, and your strength will experience a surge afterward..."

Dugu Bo nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, he had almost forgotten about it. With the help of the pills and the blood and immortal herb pills that Shen Hanyu had given him last time, he was now almost unaffected by the Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom. His most cherished granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had also made rapid progress in strength over the past few years. She had now reached the high-level Soul Venerable stage and was about to break through to the Soul Sect stage. Moreover, she had matured a lot in the past few years and her personality had become more restrained. But since Shen Hanyu still remembered this matter, it was naturally a good thing.
