Chapter 11: family first title doulou
The next day, as all the elders and the members of the Dugo family gathered in the tribulation field, I could see the transformation that had taken place within them. Their cultivation had improved significantly, and the poison that had plagued their bodies for generations had been reduced. Dugo Bo had reached level 79, Yin Dao had broken through to level 89, and Mei You had advanced to level 72.
I approached the elders and asked, "Have you all formed your cores?"
They nodded, their faces filled with pride. "Yes, we have," they replied. "Forming our cores has been a monumental achievement for us and our family members. It has allowed us to break through in our cultivation and unlock new levels of power. We are now stronger and more capable than ever before."
I smiled and said, "That's excellent. I'm glad to see that your hard work has paid off. However, I want you to focus on recovering your damaged bodies and forging them with dragon blood power. Your family doesn't have dragon blood in your lineage, so this will help increase your potential and remove any hidden wounds that may be present."
The elders listened attentively as I explained the importance of recovering their bodies and forging them with dragon blood power. They understood that the poison had taken a toll on their health and that they needed to address the underlying damage before they could truly reach their full potential.
I continued, "The dragon blood will not only heal your bodies but will also strengthen your martial souls and enhance your overall vitality. It will help you to recover from the effects of the poison and regain your lost strength. Additionally, it will help you to unlock new abilities and reach new heights in your cultivation."
The elders were eager to take the dragon blood and experience its benefits. They knew that this was a once-in-a lifetime opportunity, and they were determined to make the most of it.
I handed each of them a vial of dragon blood, and they immediately began to consume it. As they drank the blood, their bodies began to react. A warm, tingling sensation spread throughout their bodies, and they felt a surge of energy. The poison that had been coursing through their veins began to dissipate, and their wounds started to heal.
They nodded in agreement and sat cross-legged, preparing to take the dragon blood. I personally handed each of them a vial, but before doing so, I made some modifications. I added a 50-year life extension and healing pill effect to each vial. After analyzing one of the members, I concluded that their lifespans were shortened due to the poison, and after further analyzing the poison collected from the poison family's contra, I discovered that their life-draining capabilities were even unknown to them. This explained why their family members had such weak bodies from birth and why their health deteriorated over time.
As the members of the poison family began to take the dragon blood, a thick, black poisonous liquid started to flow from their bodies. This was a sign that the poison was being expelled from their systems. The dragon blood was neutralizing the poison and restoring their bodies to their natural state.
Their faces became more alive, their hair turned black, and their bodies began to change. Dugo Bo and Yin Dao's bodies became more muscular and their faces appeared younger. These changes were a result of the dragon blood's regenerative properties. The blood was repairing the damage caused by the poison and rejuvenating their bodies.
The dragon blood was also strengthening their martial souls. The poison had weakened their martial souls over the generations, but now, the dragon blood was restoring their vitality and enhancing their abilities.
As the dragon blood coursed through their veins, the poison family members began to feel a surge of energy. Their senses became sharper, their reflexes quicker, and their overall strength increased. They could feel their martial souls growing stronger, and they knew that they were on the verge of a breakthrough.
The dragon blood was also having a profound effect on their minds. They felt more focused, more determined, and more confident. They were no longer burdened by the poison that had plagued their family for centuries. They were free.
After a day had passed, they woke up, and three dragon roars echoed through the tribulation field. The sound was deafening, and it shook the very foundations of the field. The three dragons were green in color and had bright green crystals on their heads. They were majestic creatures, their bodies shimmering with a powerful energy.
Elder Yin Dao announced that he had broken his core into a black hole, transforming it into a swirling vortex of darkness. This was a sign of immense power and control over his soul power. He was now a level 90 Soul Douluo, a level that few martial artists ever reached.
He also mentioned that his tribulation would release poison, so he would need to find a secluded location. The poison was a byproduct of his powerful martial soul, and it was capable of causing great harm to both himself and others.
I suggested a place that I had researched in my free time. It was a secluded valley, hidden away from the rest of the world. It was the perfect location for Elder Yin Dao to undergo his tribulation without disturbing anyone.
As Elder Yin Dao disappeared into the valley, we went to a nearby hill where we could observe the tribulation. I told the elders that they should use the tribulation to open their closed myrindas. The myrindas were a special type of energy center located within the body. Opening them could unlock new abilities and enhance their cultivation.
Dugo Bo, who was also preparing for his tribulation, decided to follow my advice. He released his cultivation, and a powerful aura erupted from his body. He then disappeared into the distance, heading towards his own secluded location.
After five hours, Elder Dugo returned, announcing that he had become a Soul Douluo level 82 with the martial soul Emerald Poison Dragon. The Emerald Poison Dragon was a powerful and fearsome creature, known for its deadly poison and its ability to control the minds of its enemies.
Ten hours later, the tribulation subsided, and we saw Elder Yin Dao emerge from the valley. He was now a Title Douluo, with a 9-ring soul ring: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red. The red ring was a symbol of immense power and authority. It was a testament to Elder Yin Dao's incredible talent and hard work.
Everyone bowed and congratulated Elder Yin Dao on his achievement. He attributed his success to the cultivation techniques I had provided, which had helped him endure the tribulation.
He then approached me, knelt down, and grabbed my hands. "Young sect master, you should never bow to this old slave," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "What my family has achieved is all thanks to your blood. If you had not helped us, I would have died within the next two years, and my family would have suffered the same fate for generations."
I stood up and replied, "Elder, may I ask what rank you are now?"
He said with pride, "Emerald Poison Dragon, level 93 Title Douluo."
Everyone was overjoyed that our clan now had a Title Douluo. I then addressed everyone, saying, "I would like to suggest that we keep Elder Yin Dao's breakthrough a secret. Tomorrow, we should hold a ceremony to bestow a title upon him."
The elders looked at me for a long time, their expressions filled with both respect and confusion. My father laughed and explained, "They are looking at you because you are the young patriarch and the person who has done the most for the family. Even now, you are suggesting that they give you orders that must be obeyed. They all consider you as the patriarch, which is why they are looking at you."
The elders nodded, and I sighed. "Tomorrow, a ceremony will take place, and a title will be given to Elder Yin Dao," I said.
Yin Dao replied, "Young master, I want you to give me the title."
I agreed and asked if anyone had any objections. The elders knelt down and said, "We obey."
We then returned to our residence, and the elders began to prepare for the ceremony.
I knew that the elders were hesitant to accept my suggestion, but I was confident that they would eventually come around. I had proven myself to them time and again, and they knew that I had the best interests of the family at heart.
I also knew that keeping Elder Yin Dao's breakthrough a secret was important. If the news were to spread, it could attract unwanted attention from other families and sects. We were already a powerful family, but revealing the presence of a Title Douluo within our ranks would make us an even more attractive target.
I was determined to protect our family and ensure its continued prosperity. I knew that keeping Elder Yin Dao's breakthrough a secret was the best way to do that.
