Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but glance at Su Ming. Why did Su Ming seem completely unaffected?

Before he could voice his question, Dugu Bo added, "It seems the power of my light speck trap is decent. At your current rate of poisoning, you'll probably bleed from all seven orifices and die within a minute."

Dugu Bo teased, watching Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turn paler with discomfort.

With a wave of his right hand, Dugu Bo cast a thin protective shield over Chrysanthemum Douluo.

In an instant, the pain vanished.

"Su Ming, why aren't you feeling anything?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked curiously, relieved to see the "old poison" had shown some mercy.

Dugu Bo, too, looked at Su Ming with confusion.

By all logic, his martial soul's poison should be enhanced enough that Su Ming couldn't resist it so easily. Even assuming Su Ming's strength, one would need to be at least a high-level Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo to resist it.

And that was his most generous estimate.

Su Ming merely smiled, saying nothing.

But he was secretly stunned—wow, this new domain skill of the old monster was impressive! If it weren't for his strong life force and the passive resistance boost from his fifth spirit ring, he might have succumbed too.

His fifth spirit ring, a hundred-thousand-year ring, granted him one powerful skill and a passive effect: high poison resistance. Coupled with his life force, Su Ming was confident that no poison on the continent could harm him.

Since Su Ming didn't wish to explain further, Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't press him. Everyone has their secrets, after all.

Dugu Bo glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo, assuming Su Ming's reticence was partly due to Chrysanthemum Douluo's presence. Though Su Ming tolerated his presence, he wasn't fully "one of them" yet.

"So, old monster, does your domain skill have any other abilities besides the light speck trap?" Su Ming asked, skeptical that the domain's only function was poison. Surely, it should also have a purification effect.

Dugu Bo nodded, "Indeed, it has two more abilities. The first is called Radiant Purification. This was a gift from the Golden Sacred Dragon and can remove any negative effects inflicted on us in the domain. It also suppresses evil-attribute spirit masters or spirit beasts."

Su Ming asked, "Will this Radiant Purification harm Elder Ghost? We don't want any friendly fire, after all."

Dugu Bo laughed, "No need to worry. As I did for Chrysanthemum Douluo, I can apply a golden protection. With it, allies in my domain won't suffer from the poison or the effects of the light attribute."

Chrysanthemum Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, although the strength gap between him and Dugu Bo now left him feeling powerless. Even if he and Elder Ghost teamed up, they likely wouldn't be a match for Dugu Bo, as both of their martial souls were directly countered by his.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum martial soul, being a plant type, was vulnerable to poison. Elder Ghost's martial soul, being spectral, was easily suppressed by the light attribute.

"The third ability of my domain is called Dragon-Serpent Dual Strike. I can summon the phantoms of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor and the Golden Sacred Dragon within the domain to attack or defend. At present, these phantoms have about 70% of my power!"

"What the heck, old monster, your domain skill is on another level!" Su Ming exclaimed, wide-eyed.

In Su Ming's mind, even Qian Renxue's ultimate Seraphim Six-Winged Angel domain couldn't rival Dugu Bo's current domain.

Perhaps only Tang San's evolved Asura Domain could be a fair match for this Holy Phosphor Domain.

"Heh, little monster, I didn't think I'd see the day when I'd surprise you! Even I was shocked to find the Holy Phosphor Domain was so strong. With it, I might even hold my own against a level-99 Limit Douluo! But let's be clear—I owe this all to you," Dugu Bo said, looking earnestly at Su Ming.

Under Dugu Bo's intense gaze, Su Ming felt a shiver run down his spine and waved his hands. "Hey, old monster, we're good friends, so don't look at me like that! Otherwise, I might start questioning your… orientation."

Dugu Bo: …

"You brat! I'm far too old for that—what are you thinking?" Dugu Bo playfully smacked Su Ming on the head.

Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had barely spoken, quietly watched their exchange with envy. It was clear to him that the bond between Su Ming and Dugu Bo was unique—just like the one he shared with Elder Ghost.

If the age difference wasn't so wide, he might have thought about "shipping" the two of them.

Shaking his head, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly dismissed the ridiculous thought from his mind.

"Alright, since we've tested the domain, we should head back," Dugu Bo said.

After all the testing, by the time they returned to their rooms, the sky outside was already beginning to lighten.

Well, Su Ming realized he wouldn't be getting any sleep. He might as well cultivate for a while.

Now that the old monster's strength had grown so much, he couldn't afford to lag behind. One thought still puzzled him: was the Golden Dragon Phosphor Serpent Emperor considered a god-level martial soul?

If not, it must be very close.

Forget it, he decided. Time to focus on cultivation.

Earlier, Chrysanthemum Douluo had mentioned that if the Heaven Dou Academy made it to the finals, the Pope planned to send Qian Renxue to compete, hoping Su Ming wouldn't mind.

Su Ming, however, didn't mind at all. In fact, he was quite looking forward to it. Remembering Qian Renxue's personality from the original story, Su Ming couldn't help but grin mischievously. Should he teach her a harsh lesson?

Let her understand that she's far from qualified to be his superior—hehe.

But for now, he had to prepare for the upcoming match against Tianshui Academy.
