Chapter 5 Whose outstanding grandson is he? Turns out he's mine!
At this moment, not to mention Dugu Yan, even the usually composed Dugu Bo couldn't help but get excited.
One minute they're talking about him becoming a god, the next they're saying the divine realm is interfering in human affairs, and they're starting to think Dugu Lin is just telling a story.
The battle between three gods, with the Asura God King intervening, is simply unbelievable!
Dugu Lin continued, "During the Battle of Jialing Pass in the War of the Three Gods, you, Grandpa, were killed by an elder of the Spirit Hall. Then it was you, Sister, who was pulled in by Yu Tianheng to be his human shield when he was in a life-or-death situation, and finally died at the hands of a Soul Saint."
Dugu Yan: "..."
"After the battle, while cleaning up the battlefield, someone found your belongings, Grandpa. I wanted to retrieve them. But then, I overheard Tang San and his friends mocking you. They laughed at your selfless act of giving them the Immortal Herbs, at your gratitude, and at how you never knew that Tang San had only given you a few drops of his blood, yet you were made to serve him like a slave, and ultimately died on the battlefield, your body left without a complete corpse!"
"This is outrageous!!"
Dugu Bo tried his best to control the soul power in his body, and streams of green energy came out from his pores.
It has to be said that the average quality of people in the Douluo Continent is really high.
He didn't even bring up Tang San's ancestors for eighteen generations to curse them, which shows how high Dugu Bo's character is.
"Grandpa, calm down~ Don't let the toxins in your body erupt."
"Phew~"
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, a chill running down his spine. Luckily, his grandson had reminded him, otherwise the toxins in his body might have really gotten out of control.
Dugu Lin continued to comfort him, "Grandpa, don't worry. Nothing has happened yet, there's still a chance to start over, it's not too late! Everything... is in our hands!"
"Yeah! Hahaha!!!"
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, laughed wickedly, his smile extremely dangerous, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After waiting for a moment, Dugu Lin asked, "Grandpa, Sister, is there anything else you want to know?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan quickly asked, "Then, little brother, how did you manage to be reborn?"
"Uh... I was caught eavesdropping on Tang San and the others' conversation, and then they... um... killed me with a book. They were all Super Douluos with a soul power of level 95 or above, and there was also Tang San who had become a god. I had just shown the slightest emotional fluctuation when they discovered it. After I died, I opened my eyes again and was back in the present."
Dugu Lin didn't care how people talked about him. Since he had been reborn, he had to die some kind of death.
Being killed by a book is still death.
"Snort!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, a dangerous glint in his eyes, as he noted down all those people in his notebook. Dare to kill his grandson? Heh~ They all must die!
A long time.
Dugu Bo suddenly asked, "Lin'er, since those Immortal Herbs can help people evolve their martial souls, what about your martial soul...?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to talk about!"
Finally, it was time to get down to business, and Dugu Lin was extremely excited.
"Alright, Grandpa will take you to the herb garden in Sunset Forest now. As for... the matter of rebirth and what will happen in the future, we'll talk about that another day."
"Grandpa, don't rush."
"Hmm? Is there anything else?"
Dugu Lin said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, my martial soul is not an ordinary Jade Phosphor Serpent, but a detached martial soul: Jade Phosphor Serpent!"
"A detached martial soul?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled.
Dugu Lin didn't explain further and directly summoned his martial soul: "Little snake, come out and say hello to my sister and grandfather!"
"Hiss~~"
A half-meter-long Jade Phosphor Serpent appeared on the ground and then swam towards Dugu Lin.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent looked at Dugu Lin with its bright eyes, and affectionately nuzzled the finger that Dugu Lin had extended.
Before his reincarnation, Dugu Lin was terrified of snakes and similar creatures.
However, when facing his own martial soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, he felt no resistance whatsoever, as if the Jade Phosphor Serpent was an extension of his body.
"Suckling sound~~~"
Dugu Lin scratched the Jade Phosphor Serpent's chin twice with his fingers, almost making himself laugh out loud, as if he were teasing a puppy.
"Hiss~~" The Jade Phosphor Serpent revealed a rather enjoyable, anthropomorphic expression.
"Little snake, say hello to my sister and grandpa."
"Hiss~~" The Jade Phosphor Serpent turned its head and flicked its tongue at the two of them.
Dugu Bo was utterly shocked. He was certain that the snake before him was his grandson's martial soul! After all, he had just witnessed it being summoned; what else could it be but a martial soul? He wasn't getting old and his eyesight wasn't failing him!
But the martial soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent... no matter how you look at it, it's a genuine soul beast!
At this moment, Dugu Yan, who was standing to the side, stared in disbelief and exclaimed, "Little brother... is this your martial soul? This is too amazing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Dugu Yan picked up the Jade Phosphor Serpent!
The Jade Phosphor Serpent also affectionately wrapped itself around Dugu Yan's arm, causing Dugu Yan to giggle uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Dugu Lin smiled and said, "I can't explain exactly what's so special about a detached martial soul, but I do know that it must be extremely powerful!"
"Hmm...maybe." Dugu Bo had never seen anyone whose martial soul was exactly the same as a soul beast, and he didn't know how to comment on it.
Dugu Lin smiled and continued, "Not only that! Grandpa, sister, I also have another martial soul!"
Dugu Lin did not intend to hide the matter of his second martial soul from Dugu Bo.
As Dugu Bo's grandson, if he can't even fully trust Dugu Bo, then he might as well just surrender to Tang San and become his lackey; he could at least get a godhood that way.
"What?! You also have twin martial souls!"
Instantly, Dugu Bo jumped up from the stone bench in shock, staring at his grandson in disbelief. Dugu Yan, who was playing with snakes, was also utterly astonished; her younger brother actually had two martial souls?!
"Cough cough~~"
Dugu Lin coughed lightly, then frowned slightly and explained, "In my previous life, I didn't awaken two martial souls... but in this life after being reborn, I don't understand why I have two martial souls."
As he spoke, Dugu Lin immediately summoned another martial soul, the 'picture book,' which was a book made of metal!
Upon seeing the second martial soul, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's eyes widened in disbelief!
Excitement! Thrill! In the end, Dugu Bo's old eyes filled with tears. Twin martial soul talents! That was his grandson!
"This... does the cover of the Martial Soul Book say 'Martial Soul Pictorial'?"
Even though Dugu Bo was very knowledgeable, he had never seen a martial soul like this before. It was a book made of bronze, and it even had four words written on it: Martial Soul Picture Book.
"I don't know what kind of martial soul it is... I just feel that this picture book is very likely the book that Tang San threw at me before I was reborn."
Dugu Lin gave a vague and nonsensical explanation, and when asked, he simply replied: "I don't know either."
The rest can only be filled in by Grandpa and my sister's imagination.
