Chapter 39: Dugu Bo Arrives
"Hehe, Brother Weis, my soul skill does more than that. Watch!"
Anna controlled the blood-sucking vine-like grass to wrap around a tree. Soon, it absorbed the essence of the tree, but her soul power didn't increase—instead, all the plant essence was stored within her spirit. Then, Anna controlled the grass to wrap around another tree, but this time, instead of absorbing, she injected the stored plant essence into it.
With a large amount of plant essence, the tree before her grew more lush and vibrant. Its height increased by two or three meters, and it looked much sturdier.
A tree that previously needed two people to encircle it now needed at least three.
Anna explained, "Brother, my first soul skill doesn't just absorb plant essence—it can also store it in my spirit and apply it to other plants, making them grow rapidly!"
"F*ck!"
"Amazing! This skill is incredible!"
Dai Weis was ecstatic, laughing to the sky. He instantly realized the strategic value of such a soul skill.
He believed that with Anna's help, the comprehensive strength of the Star Luo Empire would rise sharply. Whether it was contending with Spirit Hall or annexing the Heaven Dou Empire, Dai Weis now had greater confidence.
Looking at the grinning Dai Weis, both Anna and Li Hu exchanged confused glances. Wasn't it just accelerating plant growth? Why was he this happy?
Yes—on the surface, it was only a plant growth skill. It didn't seem special. But don't forget: wheat, rice, vegetables—they are all plants!
What if large amounts of plant essence were stored and injected into crop seeds? They'd surely sprout, mature, and become harvestable grains—rapidly.
In other words, Anna's first soul skill was one with massive potential. Used wisely, it could guarantee the Star Luo Empire would never face famine again.
And if there was no food? There'd always be trees, right?
With enough trees and Anna's soul skill, food could be mass-produced anytime.
In the future, when the army marches, no more carrying bulky rations—just bring Anna and some seeds!
More food meant more people. More people meant more soul masters and soldiers. And with overwhelming numbers, the Empire's strength would naturally soar.
Although Anna could only store a small amount of essence now, what if she became a Titled Douluo? She'd surely store much more!
The ancient mantra: store grain, build walls, and slowly become king.
Wasn't Anna's soul skill the embodiment of "store grain"?
"Good girl, you're a real treasure! Anna, you're definitely going to be the Minister of Agriculture in the future!" Dai Weis grinned and picked up Anna, smiling brightly. "Nana, you really surprised your brother."
Now, Dai Weis found Anna more and more likable. He even wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter.
Anna: I treat you as my brother, and you want to be my father? Are you even human?
"Hehe, I should be thanking Brother Weis. If you hadn't adopted me, I might still be wandering the streets, or worse—sold as someone's plaything."
Anna hugged Dai Weis in return. In her heart, Dai Weis was more caring than her birth parents.
"You're worthy of being my good sister. So wonderful."
Dai Weis gently patted her small head.
As night fell, the three of them prepared to rest in the forest. After dinner, Dai Weis accompanied Anna to practice by absorbing plant essence to enhance her soul power.
Anna was seen manipulating her Hundred Herbs spirit to absorb nutrients from trees. As it converted the essence into soul power, her strength steadily rose.
"Nana, you don't have to only absorb tree essence. Try absorbing soul power from plant-type soul beasts!"
Dai Weis pointed ahead to a patch of grass—dozens of Blue Silver Grasses, most of them ten-year, with a few cultivated for over a hundred years.
"Okay, I'll try and see how much soul power a soul beast can offer me."
As soon as she finished speaking, her Hundred Herbs transformed into vines that ensnared several Blue Silver Grass blades, immediately absorbing their soul power.
Instantly, powerful soul energy rushed into Anna's body, making her cry out softly.
The Hundred Herbs Martial Soul possessed traits from numerous plant spirits—including Blue Silver Grass—so absorbing it caused Anna no harm.
"Such strong soul power… absorbing soul beasts is much faster than absorbing ordinary plant essence."
After absorbing a hundred-year Blue Silver Grass, Anna's spirit power jumped to level 14, and she excitedly reported it to Dai Weis.
"Brother, I did it—my spirit power has reached level 14!"
"Well done! There are still more hundred-year Blue Silver Grasses over there. Let's keep going."
"Okay!"
Anna sat cross-legged and continued to absorb the Blue Silver Grass's soul power. As her level rose, her absorption speed also accelerated.
Meanwhile, Dai Weis was already planning—once Anna grew stronger, he would take her to the Blue Silver Forest. That place was filled with Blue Silver Grasses, and even contained the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King. It would be a perfect training ground.
"In addition to the Blue Silver Forest, we must hurry and get the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone," Dai Weis thought.
He had coveted the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone for a long time.
He had hesitated to go before—concerned that Tang Hao might still be guarding it. But now, for Anna's sake, he had to go.
Initially, he had planned to use the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone for himself, but now… it was obvious Anna was the better fit. Her Hundred Herbs martial soul and that soul bone were a perfect match.
"It's decided. I have to find a way to get the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone!"
…
Just as Dai Weis was contemplating how to acquire the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, a major incident unfolded back in Star Luo City.
Inside the Star Luo Palace, thousands of guards and black-clothed warriors surrounded a green-haired old man. Emperor Dai Pojun and Empress Zhu Yaqin were on full alert, both having activated their martial souls!
Dai Pojun said cautiously, "Senior Poison Douluo, what brings you to the Star Luo Palace?"
Dugu Bo smirked and said coldly, "Hmph, I came all this way to your palace. Naturally, I have something important to discuss! Is this how the Star Luo royal family treats its guests?"
Then he took a deep glance at the black-clothed warriors around him. There were only one or two hundred of them, and most looked like ordinary people.
But for some strange reason, Dugu Bo sensed danger from them.
What he didn't know was that each assassin carried hundreds of kilograms of mixed explosives strapped to their bodies. If detonated, the explosion would level the entire Star Luo Palace.
Even a Titled Douluo would be at risk of being killed in the blast!
