Chapter 16 Farewell to Shrek
Dugu Bo's taking on disciples wasn't a huge deal, affecting only a small circle, but it wasn't insignificant either; his information was instantly placed on the desks of high-ranking officials in various powerful organizations.
At this moment, Dugu Bo was not troubled by how to teach his disciples, but rather felt annoyed by the expectations of the people gathered around him.
"I used to cultivate my poison skills by consuming poisonous herbs until one day I ate a ten-thousand-year-old snake spirit herb, which is how I evolved into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King."
Dugu Bo said in a muffled voice.
No one knows which is more effective: persistently cultivating poison skills or that ten-thousand-year-old snake spirit grass. But Ma Hongjun can't cultivate poison skills, so is practicing fire-breathing more visually appealing?
Flander was somewhat disappointed; after all, he still needed to find some rare and precious materials.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. Wasn't cultivating poisonous arts somewhat similar to absorbing the Phoenix bloodline soul ring? Coupled with consuming rare and precious herbs, it was practically identical to the path of purifying bloodlines that Xie Mo had described.
His gaze shifted to Xie Mo, but he could only see Xie Mo giving him a slight smile.
"Thank you for informing me, Your Majesty. I am extremely grateful."
Flander bowed and expressed his gratitude. Although the reward was not great, it was already a rare thing for a Title Douluo to speak.
"Brother Mo~"
Ma Hongjun's voice was choked with sobs. His partner had always been by his side, protecting him from the wind and rain since childhood, but now they had to part ways. He was extremely sad.
"It's not like we'll never see each other again!"
Xie Mo reached out and tapped Ma Hongjun on the forehead. He didn't want to be separated either, but he had to stay here in order to obtain the immortal herb. Otherwise, he could have just stayed at Shrek Academy with Ma Hongjun, instead of running around like this.
"Don't go astray. When you have nothing to do, think about what I taught you, and control your evil desires. Don't let them control you."
Xie Mo solemnly warned Ma Hongjun that he had gone to great lengths to cultivate a sound set of values in him, and he didn't want Ma Hongjun to be led astray by those guys from Shrek Academy.
The key point is that Ma Hongjun really did become Flander's disciple back then. Douluo Continent values this kind of relationship very much. In addition, Flander has always been thinking about Ma Hongjun, which is why he let him go back.
"Understood, Brother Mo."
Ma Hongjun was reluctant to leave.
They didn't stay any longer. Everything was done, and Ma Hongjun's next task was to cultivate diligently. Although Shrek Academy was broken, it was also convenient for calming the mind.
"These are some gold soul coins. Don't even think about lending them to your master. You should be the one getting gold coins from him. Eat well, dress well, and don't mistreat yourself."
Xie Mo handed over a small amount of money to Ma Hongjun, which he had borrowed from Dugu Bo—a few dozen gold soul coins. He wouldn't give him more than that, lest the other man be led astray.
Dugu Bo glanced sideways at Xie Mo, pondering how to discipline the little guy next.
"And Oscar, you're the eldest brother, so take care of your younger brother."
Xie Mo also slipped some money to Oscar. As a food-type soul master with innate full soul power, it was still good to befriend him.
"Leave it to me."
Oscar patted his chest and assured him.
The farewell ended quickly, and the Shrek Academy students headed towards Soto City, while Xie Mo remained in the "heart" of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Who were you going to loot gold coins from again?"
As soon as the person walked away, Dugu Bo's gloomy voice came from behind, and Xie Mo's body stiffened slightly.
"It's that miser Flander, of course, I'm telling you..."
Xie Mo was taken back to the Dugu Mansion by Dugu Bo and became one of the only three owners of this mansion.
"You brat, let me see just how your mutated martial soul has mutated and just how strong it can be."
Dugu Bo sized up the boy in front of him. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had gone to school, so no one could save this kid.
"Yes, Master."
Xie Mo took a deep breath, knowing that this was the official test, but he believed that Piggy Hero's power could conquer Dugu Bo.
Its strong muscles bulged slightly, and its deer legs, radiating a chill, tapped lightly on the ground. Behind it, crane wings spread out, with sparks faintly hidden within.
Dugu Bo was shocked as he looked at the monster in front of him. Soul skills that could transform were not uncommon, but most of them were just superficial disguises. However, he could sense that the monster's current state was as if its true form was this, which was unprecedented!
Dugu Bo flew into the air and hovered quietly in front of the several-meter-tall monster. His withered right hand gently tapped the symbol on the monster's chest, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Besides this logo that looks a bit like a pig's snout, what other characteristics do you have that of a pig?"
"My pig spirit is mutated, so it's normal that it's mutated quite thoroughly now."
Xie Mo said in a muffled voice.
"Mutation my foot! Who mutates like you? Even the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only allows one soul ring to partially transform into a dragon, and even then, it's only the same species."
"You have a huge secret, but I don't care. After all, I am your master. Protecting you as you grow up is the most important thing."
"But I don't have that much free time. Come on, attack me. Learn to fail before you defeat your enemy."
Dugu Bo threw a punch, and Xie Mo felt as if he had been hit by a car in the chest. A tremendous force came from his chest and sent him flying dozens of meters.
"Wow, she's incredibly strong."
Xie Mo propped himself up and stood up with a blank expression. He had been misled by the so-called fantasy sewer system. Even though Dugu Bo was the weakest Title Douluo, he could still knock him down with his fists.
"Wood Spirit Vine!"
More than a dozen thick vines rose from the ground and instantly reached Dugu Bo, binding him tightly.
Dugu Bo moved his body curiously, and the tightly bound vines tightened, showing signs of cracking.
"Wood element?"
Seeing that Dugu Bo broke free very easily, Xie Mo didn't expect this thing to be able to trap Dugu Bo. One after another, ice spikes and stone spikes appeared out of thin air and shot out under Xie Mo's control, arriving in front of Dugu Bo in an instant.
Dark green scales covered Dugu Bo's skin, and his dark green eyes turned into snake eyes, staring intently at Xie Mo in the distance. Xie Mo felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by a venomous snake hiding in the shadows.
No, not in the dark, but in the open, staring.
Dugu Bo slightly opened his mouth, and green poisonous mist spewed out, enveloping his entire body. Several attacks melted and disappeared upon contact with the poisonous mist, leaving only a sizzling sound of corrosion echoing in Xie Mo's ears.
"Ice, soil?"
"And fire, so the power you control is actually the power of the five elements."
Dugu Bo looked at Xie Mo with a smile. He had encountered Soul Masters who wielded the power of the Five Elements before, and they were indeed quite troublesome.
"Master has discerning eyes."
Xie Moshun offered a flattering remark.
He only has two-thirds of his soul power left; if he uses a few more skills, he might run out of soul power.
Don't be fooled by how long Tang San fought when he was a one-ring Soul Master in the original story. He mostly used Tang Sect's secret techniques, which consumed a lot of his physical strength. Soul power was only used as an auxiliary. Where would a one-ring Soul Master get so much Soul power? Moreover, Tang San might not even be able to withstand Xie Mo's first wave of attacks.
However, Xie Mo was not without options. If he lacked soul power, he could simply replenish it.
"The source of the five elements, return to its rightful place."
