Blue Silver Grass Strategy

Faced with Dugu Bo's decisive word "impossible", Long Yin was not angry, nor did he feel resentful, anxious, or any other emotions.

On the contrary, at this moment, except for Ling Yi himself, whether it was Long Yin, Jiang Yuan, Li Zhishu, Zhang Mufeng or Qingqiu Xin, all of them had a smile on their faces that looked very strange to Dugu Bo.

They like to see someone doubting Ling Yi's ability and then being slapped in the face by reality.

Do you think that Jiang Yuan, the captain of the Hanfeng Camp, put down his two thousand cavalrymen, and Li Zhishu, the head of the kitchen camp, put down all the affairs of the Hanfeng Camp, and traveled thousands of miles to accompany Ling Yi to the [Tiandou Empire] simply because they have a good relationship with Ling Yi?

No matter how good their relationship is, they are still members of the military system of the [Shuimu Principality]. Can they leave their respective posts so casually?

This is the commander of the Cold Wind Camp, 'Marquis of Cedar' Song Yao. When he learned that Ling Yi was going abroad to the suzerain state [Tiandou Empire] to do business and needed an expert to accompany him in case he encountered danger, he immediately thought of the Cold Wind Camp as his 'home' and came to seek help. He immediately waved his hand and gave Captain Jiang Yuan a guard mission, requiring him to protect their [Shuimu Principality's] 'great doctor' Ling Yi during the mission!

After all, Ling Yi was a military doctor in the Cold Wind Camp, and he had saved thousands of fellow soldiers. The title of the youngest blacksmith in the history of Douluo Continent was personally determined for Ling Yi by the current Master Blacksmith Lou Gao in the Cold Wind Camp.

If he was not going to the territory of the [Shuimu Principality], he could not be too conspicuous, and in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Jiang Yuan would not come alone, but would bring his two thousand cavalrymen to travel around the [Tiandou Empire] together.

Similarly, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the team going abroad, in addition to Ling Yi, a healing soul master comparable to the Soul Sect level, Li Zhishu, a food-type soul master, was also invited by Ling Yi as an auxiliary staff member. Marquis Song Yao did not think much about it and directly waved his hand to sign the document of consent.

Seeing the strange smiles of Long Yin and others, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, and instinctively felt something was wrong in his heart, but he still spoke and said coldly:

"Boy, the more you talk, the more outrageous it gets!"

"If you say that this kid named Ling Yi has two soul rings of 100 years old, and his martial soul and soul skills are of excellent quality, and is stronger than those soul masters whose third soul ring is still 100 years old, I can still believe it."

“But!” Dugu Bo’s tone became sharp, and he shouted: “Do you really know the difference between a thousand-year spirit ring and a hundred-year spirit ring?! Hmm——?!”

As the last word fell, Dugu Bo's entire aura exploded, pressing down on everyone in the box.

"Senior~"*2

Just when Long Yin and others felt the pressure like a mountain, Ling Yi and Jiang Yuan shouted at the same time.

"Uh-huh?!"

Dugu Bo looked in the direction of the voice and thought that Jiang Yuan was the only Soul King who could speak freely. However, he saw Ling Yi, who had a flushed face and looked very tired but managed to withstand the pressure and speak. His aura immediately stagnated.

Dugu Bo's mind raced, and after only a few thoughts flashed through his mind, he retracted his aura and stared at Ling Yi and Jiang Yuan. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Ling Yi's still childish face, chuckled sinisterly, and said, "It's really a bit unexpected that you can do this under my aura. I'm beginning to believe what this silly boy just said--"

What Dugu Bo said seemed a bit self-contradictory, but it was not contradictory.

Although a thousand-year soul skill is an essential leap forward compared to a hundred-year soul skill, it does not mean that there is no hope of surpassing it.

But this hope is too slim!

That is, if the quality of the martial soul is high enough, it can lead to the effect of the soul skill to the point where one plus one is greater than two, or even greater than three.

It is like the legendary healing-type top-grade martial soul "Nine-Hearted Begonia". Even if it is a great soul master-level descendant of the "Nine-Hearted Begonia", the healing effect of its soul skills is enough to compare with the fourth soul skill of some healing-type soul masters with average soul ring ratios and martial soul quality.

So, is this kid named Ling Yi the lucky one whose martial soul mutated, thus making the quality of his martial soul comparable to top-level martial souls like the "Nine-Hearted Begonia"?

Or is he himself the descendant of a top-level martial spirit bloodline?

"squeak--"

Just when Dugu Bo was guessing all kinds of things in his mind, Li Zhishu pushed the chair under his butt and stood up.

This stop immediately attracted Dugu Bo's attention, and also made Jiang Yuan next to him feel a little tired.

Jiang Yuan always felt that the longer the young people in this small team stayed with Ling Yi, the more their way of thinking became incompatible with everyone in Douluo Continent.

"Senior Dugu, please wait a moment——"

Li Zhishu saluted Dugu Bo with his fists clasped, and after saying this, he took a step forward, shaking his now much stronger but still plump body, opened the door and ran out of the box.

In just ten breaths, with the strength of a Soul Master, Li Zhishu ran back to the box.

This time, Li Zhishu did not hold any plates or dishes in his hands, but held a fish with his bare hands.

A fish that had just been gutted!

Li Zhishu grabbed the fish in one hand and picked up an almost empty plate on his seat with the other. He put the fish on the plate and placed them in front of Dugu Bo, saying:

"Senior, with your strength, you should be able to easily sense that this fish is basically dead—"

Same as death?

Glancing at the fish that was about the size of two palms, Dugu Bo's eyes twitched slightly. This fish had been gutted open, half of its internal organs had been taken out, and only a little bit of the shell's instinctive reaction was left. It was basically dead, right?!

Without waiting for Dugu Bo to say anything, Li Zhishu placed the plate with the hairtail in front of Ling Yi. He glanced at Dugu Bo, who was frowning, and whispered to Ling Yi, "Brother Yi, show us your skills."

"You..." Ling Yi glanced at Li Zhishu, then looked at Dugu Bo opposite him, as well as Long Yin, Zhang Mufeng and others around him who were excited and eager to try, and shook his head helplessly.

Although he shook his head, he was quick in his actions. He spread out his right hand, and as the azure soul power light lit up, the vine-like "Blue Silver Grass" martial soul appeared.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo understood what Li Zhishu meant. Was he going to give him a live demonstration to prove that they were not bragging before?

The next second, contrary to Dugu Bo's expectation, Ling Yi did not directly use his soul skills, but instead stretched out his hand and placed it on the dead fish to sense it.

After a few breaths, Ling Yi's soul power flowed from the palm of his hand to the dead fish covering his palm.

The next second, a shocking scene happened.

Ling Yi's soul power was like a living thing, causing the dead fish's internal organs to wriggle. In the blink of an eye, they shrunk back into the abdomen from their drooping, limp state. In Dugu Bo's perception, the fish intestines, fish heart and other parts were arranged and linked in a certain pattern in the invisible fish belly.

Dugu Bo swore that he had never seen soul power do such delicate work!

That’s not all!

Ling Yi completed the above actions, and the martial soul on his right wrist became thinner and smaller. Under the stimulation of soul power, the feet of Ling Yi were blocked by the dining table, and only a corner of the second soul ring was exposed. The deep yellow light flashed slightly, and a touch of tender green and yellow light appeared, gathering at Ling Yi's fingertips.

The next moment, Ling Yi's hands seemed to be stained with paste, and he wiped the huge gap in the fish's belly. The mouth seemed to be stuck with it and could not be separated anymore!

And under Dugu Bo's perception, the gap, no! It was a wound, suddenly disappeared! ! ? ?

It's not like a healing soul skill that allows the wound to heal extremely quickly under the effect of light, water, wood and other life energies, but it's like two pieces of paper that were cut open suddenly stick together again, as if they had never been cut!

Immediately afterwards, another green light full of vitality lit up in Ling Yi's hand.

"Snapped!"

A slap was placed on the dead fish with its body intact, and the fish, which should have been dead, suddenly jumped up on the white plate.

It was as if the fish had not just died from being gutted, but had simply been knocked unconscious by a stick.

Although, before killing and gutting the fish, they did hit it with a stick to make it faint.

Facing this scene, Dugu Bo, who had not yet become the 'Poison Douluo' who dominated the world with poison, and whose personality had not become arrogant, aloof, and eccentric due to the torture of poisoning and the loss of his son in middle age, widened his eyes and squeezed out two words from between his teeth:

"Fuck——!!!"

Chapter 129 A century ahead

When Ling Yi showed off his martial arts version of surgery/palm fairy technique on the spot, Dugu Bo felt that the worldview he had cultivated for decades had collapsed in half.

It turns out that martial spirits and soul skills can be used in this way?

"So, Ling's martial soul is really a useless martial soul "Blue Silver Grass"? " Dugu Bo asked.

Long Yin nodded: "That's right!"

"So, Ling's innate soul power is really only half level?" Dugu Bo asked again.

Zhang Mufeng also nodded: "Of course!"

"So, Ling's family background is really just that of an ordinary commoner in the village, and there has never been a soul master among his ancestors? He is the first one?!" Dugu Bo's eyes widened and his breathing became unconsciously heavy.

Qingqiu Xin, Li Zhishu, and Jiang Yuan all nodded: "Yes! That's it!"

Dugu Bo: "Zhao——!"

The above conversation took place more than half an hour after the meal ended, and the location changed from the hotel box to a blacksmith shop opened by a senior blacksmith in "Shabak City".

Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with unconcealed surprise as he looked towards Ling Yi, who was standing more than ten meters away by the furnace, observing the metal ingots turning red and softening due to the licking of the blazing flames.

For a moment, Dugu Bo suddenly wanted to go home, bring his thirteen-year-old son over, and let him see what a true hero is!

Yes, a great man, not a genius!

There can be many geniuses, such as Dugu Bo, who became a Soul Emperor at the age of 41, and Jiang Yuan who was sitting next to him, who was also a Soul King at the age of 34!

People like Dugu Bo and Jiang Yuan are talented people who have the potential to become Soul Douluo. Looking at the Douluo Continent, wherever they go, they are sought after.

But heroes are different. They are those who can stir up the situation at a certain time and place. When they are mentioned by people many years in the future, their deeds can still be praised.

Ling Yi, in Dugu Bo's eyes at this moment, seems to be such an existence.

Although his martial soul is inferior and is known as a useless martial soul, and although he has low aptitude and his innate soul power is only half level, he should not be able to go far on the path of becoming a soul master.

Even though he had now unexpectedly become a two-ring great soul master, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before he reached level 30 and became a soul master.

But almost no one thinks that Ling Yi is a genius on the path of martial soul and soul master.

The two points of "Blue Silver Grass" and half-level innate soul power have almost locked the upper limit of Ling Yi's future!

But even so, Ling Yi is still a prominent figure in the [Shuimu Principality] today!

From Grand Duke Mufeng and Marquis Xuesong to ordinary people, no one failed to praise Ling Yi when he was mentioned.

Truly, Ling Yi's background and experience, as well as his current achievements, are so inspiring!

Even Grand Duke Mu Feng, when educating his heir, Young Master Mu Feng, in the past two years, often said "Look at what Ling Yi is like..."

Let me give you the simplest and most intuitive data.

Since the establishment of the [Blacksmith Association Shuimu Principality Branch], the overall economic output value of the entire [Shuimu Principality] has increased by nearly 20%!

At first, everyone was very confused, because it was only the blacksmiths' income that increased, and it was only the principality's military that received tangible benefits, but the overall wealth of the entire principality seemed to have increased!

Until Ling Yi spoke up and told Grand Duke Mu Feng and other high-ranking officials of the principality that because the blacksmiths had money, they would buy other items in addition to mineral raw materials, which in turn allowed the money to flow to ordinary people and professionals in other industries.

With full pockets, these people will buy the materials they need, and wealth will flow like water.

At this moment, the entire [Shuimu Principality] just woke up from a dream, like a baby bird opening its eyes for the first time and seeing the world clearly.

It turns out that for a country's power, wealth is not how rich the high-ranking lords are, but the value created by the circulation among the people of this country in all aspects!

It can be said that in the [Shuimu Principality], although Ling Yi is still a small baron, his strength among the soul masters is just that of an ordinary great soul master, but he enjoys the courtesy that is half a level higher than that of an earl!

And all this was achieved by a sixteen-year-old boy who came from a village, whose martial soul was a useless martial soul "Blue Silver Grass", and whose innate soul power was only half level, step by step, relying on his own wisdom and hard work.

"clang--!"

A crisp sound brought Dugu Bo's wandering thoughts back to reality.

His eyes were focused on the large metal ingot that had been melted into a whole at some point and re-solidified due to the drop in temperature. It began to deform under the black iron hammer that was the size of a human head.

The next moment, Ling Yi, holding a forging hammer, turned into a human-shaped gyroscope and danced like a whirlwind.

About three or four meters away, the owner of the blacksmith shop was staring intently at Ling Yi's movements and the forging hammer in Ling Yi's hand that originally belonged to him.

In everyone's eyes, Ling Yi's body gradually began to emanate an aura as he danced, a hot aura like flame!

Unlike the real flames in the furnace which only made people feel hot, the heat emanating from Ling Yi's body was more pure, making people feel as if their hearts were beating violently involuntarily.

It’s like... excitement!

"What kind of power is this?"

At some point, Dugu Bo, who had already walked to the side of the blacksmith shop owner, asked Long Yin and others who were walking beside him.

"That's Qi and blood!" Zhang Mufeng answered, "Brother Yi said that this kind of power comes from our body and is not restricted by martial spirits, soul power, or soul rings. It is one of the purest powers!"

“Ding ding ding——!!”

The beating was like a violent storm, but the rhythm was full of rhythm, like a dynamic percussion performance.

As he listened and watched, Dugu Bo's eyes became brighter and brighter: "This power... has surpassed my Soul Master level!"

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's brows suddenly frowned, and he took the time to turn his head and take a look at the blacksmith shop owner, who looked fanatical, like a pilgrim.

"..." After opening his mouth, Dugu Bo didn't say anything in the end. He just focused on watching Ling Yi's dancing figure and waited silently.

As a product that has already been launched to the market, Ling Yi has already mastered the smelting and forging of the raw materials for the "Sunken Silver Inner Armor" as well as the subsequent drawing and weaving.

When the moon was at its zenith, the deserted street outside the door was covered with silver frost. On the workbench in the blacksmith shop, a silver-gray inner armor was prominently displayed. A hint of the hot fire still hadn't completely dissipated.

Silently putting the "Sunken Silver Inner Armor" into the storage soul guide, Dugu Bo patiently explained to Zhang Mufeng, Long Yin, Qingqiu Xin, and the blacksmith shop owner the various experiences he had during forging. When they encountered something they couldn't figure out, they would ask.

Among them, the blacksmith shop owner asked the most questions.

At first, the boss was a little hesitant, but with Ling Yi's gentle voice and smiling face, the more he asked, the more relaxed he became. The more he asked, he almost poured out all the questions that had troubled him as a senior blacksmith for all these years.

More than half an hour later, as the blacksmith shop owner refused to charge for the tools and materials and was reluctant to leave, Ling Yi and the others said goodbye and left.

On the way back to the hotel, Dugu Bo couldn't help but said to Ling Yi:
