#39 - Dugu Bo Arrives

“Hehe, Brother Davis, the abilities of my soul skill are more than this, you see!”

Anna manipulated the Hundred Herbs, resembling bloodthirsty vines, to entwine a large tree, quickly absorbing all of its essence, but her soul power didn't increase; all the plant essence was stored within the Hundred Herbs martial soul.

Then, Anna controlled the Hundred Herbs again to entwine another large tree, this time not absorbing the plant essence, but instead injecting the previously absorbed plant essence into this tree.

Having obtained a large amount of plant essence, the tree in front of them became even more lush and verdant, even its height increased by a considerable amount, growing two or three meters taller, and it looked even thicker.

The tree, which originally required two people to embrace, now needed at least three people to encircle it.

At this time, Anna explained, “Brother, my first soul skill can not only absorb plant essence but also store it in the martial soul and apply it to other plants, allowing them to grow rapidly!”

“Holy crap!”

“This is insane! This skill is too insane!”

Hearing this, Davis was immediately overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh heartily. He immediately saw the strategic value of this ability.

Davis believed that with Anna's assistance, the overall strength of the Star Luo Empire would reach a new level. In the future, whether dealing with the Spirit Hall or annexing the Heaven Dou Empire, Davis would have more confidence.

Looking at Davis, who was laughing foolishly, Anna and Li Hu exchanged glances, both with bewildered expressions. It was just the ability to make plants grow faster, wasn't it? Was there a need to be so happy?

Indeed, at first glance, this was just an ability that could make plants grow faster, and it didn't sound particularly special, but don't forget, wheat, rice, and vegetables are also plants!

If a large amount of plant essence was stored and then injected into grain seeds, what would happen? Without a doubt, the seeds would germinate and mature quickly, eventually turning into food.

In other words, Anna's first soul skill was a soul skill with great potential. If used well, the Star Luo Empire would never lack food in the future.

If there was no food, there would always be trees, right?

As long as there were enough trees, coupled with Anna's first soul skill, a batch of grain could be quickly ripened.

Even in the future, when the army marched, they wouldn't need to carry military rations. They would only need to bring Anna and some grain seeds.

With more food, more people could be supported; with more people, would there be a fear of a lack of soul masters and soldiers? With an absolute number of soul masters and soldiers, how could the strength of the Star Luo Empire not increase?

Thinking of this, Davis couldn't help but smile, picking up Anna and laughing: “Nana, you really gave Brother a surprise!”

Looking at Anna now, Davis found her more and more pleasing to the eye, more and more likable, wishing he could adopt her as a goddaughter.

Anna: I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to be my dad? Are you even human?

“Hehe, I should be thanking Brother Davis. If you hadn't taken me in, I might still be wandering the streets or be sold to someone as a plaything.”

Anna also hugged Davis. In her opinion, Davis was even more affectionate than her own parents.

“As expected of my good little sister, so good!” Saying that, Davis gently rubbed her little head.

Then, looking up, the sky was already dark, and the three had no choice but to spend the night in the forest. After dinner, Davis accompanied Anna to the forest to absorb plant essence and increase Anna's soul power.

Anna controlled the Hundred Herbs to absorb the nutrients from the trees. As the Hundred Herbs continuously converted plant essence into soul power, her soul power was also steadily increasing.

“Nana, you don't necessarily have to absorb the essence of trees. You can also try absorbing the soul power of plant-type soul beasts!”

Saying that, Davis pointed to a meadow in front of them, where many Blue Silver Grasses grew, most of which were ten-year Blue Silver Grasses, and there were also a few Blue Silver Grasses with cultivation reaching more than a hundred years.

“Okay, let me try and see how much soul power plant-type soul beasts can provide me.” As soon as she finished speaking, the Hundred Herbs transformed into vines, entangling the leaves of several Blue Silver Grasses, directly absorbing the soul power of the Blue Silver Grasses.

Instantly, a surge of majestic soul power poured into Anna's body, causing the girl to let out a delicate cry.

The Hundred Herbs martial soul possessed the characteristics of hundreds of plant-type martial souls, which naturally included Blue Silver Grass, so the soul power of Blue Silver Grass would not cause any harm to Anna's body.

“What intense soul power, as expected, absorbing the soul power of soul beasts is much faster than absorbing plant essence.”

After absorbing a hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass, Anna's soul power successfully broke through to the fourteenth level, and she quickly reported the good news to Davis.

“Brother, I succeeded, my soul power has reached the fourteenth level!”

“Well done! There are still a few hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grasses there, absorb them too.”

“Okay.”

Anna sat down cross-legged, silently absorbing the soul power of the Blue Silver Grasses. As her soul power increased, her speed of absorbing soul power also increased considerably.

At the same time, Davis was also planning that once Anna's strength improved a bit more, he would take her to the Blue Silver Forest, where there were so many Blue Silver Grasses, and also the Blue Silver King with eighty thousand years of cultivation, which would definitely allow her strength to improve rapidly.

“In addition to the Blue Silver Forest, the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone must also be obtained as soon as possible.” Davis thought to himself. He had long been thinking about that hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.

It was just that he wasn't sure if Tang Hao would be there, so he hadn't gone all along. But now, for Anna's sake, he had to go once.

Initially, Davis wanted to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone himself, but now it seemed that Anna was undoubtedly more suitable, her Hundred Herbs martial soul perfectly matching the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.

“It seems that I have to find an opportunity to get that Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone!”

… …

Just as Davis was pondering how to get the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, a major event also occurred in Star Luo City in the distance.

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, thousands of Imperial Guards and Black-Clad Assassins surrounded an old man with green hair. Dai Po Jun and Zhu Yaqin and his wife were even more on high alert, both activating their Martial Soul Avatars!

Dai Po Jun said cautiously: “Poison Douluo, Your Excellency, what brings you to the Star Luo Imperial Palace?”

Dugu Bo lightly raised the corner of his mouth, chuckling: “Hmph, I have come all the way to your palace, naturally I have important matters to discuss! Is this the Star Luo Imperial Family's way of treating guests?”

After speaking, he also deeply scrutinized the surrounding Black-Clad Assassins. These assassins were only a hundred or two people, and most of them were just ordinary people.

But for some reason, Dugu Bo actually felt a hint of danger from them.

What he didn't know was that each assassin was strapped with hundreds of pounds of mixed explosives, which, once detonated, would be enough to raze the Star Luo Imperial Palace to the ground.

Even a Title Douluo, if affected by the blast wave, would risk being blown to death!
