Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

"Old Poison, since your granddaughter's spirit has evolved, yours must not be too shabby either, right?"

Chen Xin suddenly spoke up, addressing Dugu Bo not far away.

In the past, he could still gauge Dugu Bo's cultivation level, but recently, it had become increasingly difficult to see through him.

It seemed this old poison master must have had some kind of fortunate encounter.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo calmly set down his teacup. After spending so much time with Zhongli, he had also developed a fondness for tea.

"Thanks to the grace of the Martial God, my granddaughter and I have come to where we are today."

"???"

Everyone was stunned, somewhat bewildered.

Thinking carefully, the first person in Heaven Dou City to come into contact with Zhongli was indeed this old poison master!

When Zhongli first arrived in Heaven Dou City, this man had gifted him a residence. Who knows what other transactions they might have had?

This matter hadn't been connected before, but Dugu Bo's words today cleared up their confusion.

So that's how it was.

"Old Master Dugu, you flatter me. I merely gave you a little push, informing you of the uses of what you already possessed."

Zhongli waved his hand, speaking modestly.

This was the truth, but whether others believed it or not was not his concern.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the Martial God, I might already be dead by now."

"Without your guidance, even if I held treasures in my hands, they would be nothing more than useless plants."

Dugu Bo was a man who clearly distinguished gratitude from grudges. He knew full well the immense kindness Zhongli had shown him.

Back then, during their first meeting, Zhongli had pointed out that he was poisoned.

Zhongli could have easily taken the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by force, but he didn't even seem interested in it.

If Dugu Bo hadn't threatened to die, Zhongli would never have revealed his divine abilities!

As for Zhongli and Dugu Bo's conversation, the others were left in a fog.

But they did understand one thing: Zhongli was Dugu Bo's savior!

Not only that, judging by Dugu Bo's demeanor, he would likely not refuse any request from Zhongli, even if it meant joining the Body Sect.

If Dugu Bo were to join the Body Sect, the sect would openly have three Title Douluo!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Little did they know, the Body Sect had far more than three Title Douluos, and that was excluding Zhongli, who was a fake Title Douluo.

After such a long period of development, the Body Sect was no longer what it used to be.

Most of the former elders had also crossed the threshold to become Title Douluo.

Of course, their spirit power levels were mostly around level 91 or 92.

The main reason for such rapid improvement in spirit power wasn't due to "flowers and plants," but rather the power of faith!

The power of faith was a mysterious force, born from the heart.

This power could enhance strength and talent without any side effects.

When the power of faith gathered, it could ignite the divine flame, condense a divine spark, and achieving godhood would be a trivial matter.

Although the faith provided by the Body Sect couldn't create a deity, improving the members' talents and strength was a simple task.

For Zhongli, enhancing these people's talents didn't even require the power of faith.

As everyone knew, in the Douluo Continent, aside from innate spirit power, the opening of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians determined one's talent.

If the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were opening, one's cultivation speed could rival or even surpass that of someone with innate full spirit power.

Helping others open their Eight Extraordinary Meridians was no difficult task for Zhongli.

The outside world believed the Body Sect only had two Title Douluos, but that was their misconception.

If a real fight broke out, they would realize just how terrifying the Body Sect's current Title Douluo were.

Even if Zhongli were to disappear, the Body Sect would still be the second most powerful force on the Douluo Continent.

On the Douluo Continent, not counting overseas.

The Clear Sky Sect, without Tang Chen.

The Body Sect, without Zhongli, would still face the risk of annihilation.

But if Du Bafang were to break through to level 98 and achieve a second Golden Awakening, the Body Sect wouldn't be so easily destroyed.

Zhongli sighed, feeling somewhat惭愧 about Dugu Bo's gratitude.

The others weren't fools; after some thought, they came to a conclusion.

The rapid development of the Body Sect was likely closely related to the "flowers and plants" Dugu Bo mentioned.

Especially Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who knew just how terrifying these "flowers and plants" could be.

Because of one flower, Ning Fengzhi's spirit had evolved, and thanks to that flower, he had broken through to level 80, with the hope of becoming a Title Douluo.

"If these plants originally belonged to Dugu Bo..."

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin thought this, their eyelids twitching slightly.

It was just as Dugu Bo had said: without Zhongli, even if they had obtained these things, they would have been useless.

Who would casually eat flowers and plants?

After a moment, everyone turned their attention back to the arena.

"Yanyan probably isn't a match for Tang San, but she won't lose too badly."

Dugu Bo said with an unchanged expression.

Regarding Dugu Bo's statement, everyone remained skeptical.

"Absolute strength can overcome all techniques. In the face of absolute power, Miss Dugu Yan's spirit abilities won't be of much use."

"Of course, Tang San has the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques, as well as..."

Here, Zhongli paused. The matters of the Tang Sect were Tang San's secrets, and he wasn't in the habit of casually revealing others' secrets, even if Tang San had stolen them.

A significant portion of Tang San's combat power came from the Tang Sect's secret techniques, but the Clear Sky Sect's techniques were also an indispensable part, especially the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.

In the early stages, this technique was practically a cheat.

Later on, techniques like the Great Sumeru Hammer and Ring Explosion were even more terrifying.

Without these, the Clear Sky Hammer would at best be a top-tier spirit; the title of the number one tool spirit would likely have changed hands.

"As expected of the Martial God, your insight is truly profound."

Dugu Bo flattered, not worried about Dugu Yan getting injured. Minor injuries were an inevitable part of growth.

"Zhongli, this Tang San seems so strange, yet why is he so powerful?"

Paimon asked, blinking at Zhongli, the food in her hands now back in its box.

The so-called strength here was relative.

She had witnessed the descent of the Wind Dragon, the escape of the Demon God, and the awakening of Azhdaha...

What grand scenes hadn't she seen?

Tang San's display was merely child's play.

But compared to his peers, his strength was undeniably formidable.

Of course, this was also relative.

Faced with Xiao Feilian and Du Siji, Tang San was still somewhat out of his depth.

But now, Xiao Feilian and Du Siji didn't have the chance to take the stage!

As for this question, Zhongli opened his mouth, hesitating to speak.

How could he know the answer to such a question?

He was supposed to be a "villain," yet he was a companion of "justice."

It was truly hard to put into words.
