The Soul Skill Dance of Frenzy appears extremely powerful at first glance, but in reality, it has no significant drawbacks.
As for indiscriminately crushing everything in its path without distinguishing between friend and foe—it's already so strong that there is no need for teammates.
However, in the future, Wang Li will indeed need to improve his control over his soul power. An indiscriminate crushing attack like this may consume a tremendous amount of energy and may not necessarily hit the target. In the end, it requires active manipulation to truly defeat the enemy.
Ten minutes later, Wang Li's soul power was completely exhausted. This was a highly draining soul skill, and without soul power to support it, the skill could no longer be used. He first exited the Dance of Frenzy state, and then the thick, serpent-like vines retracted entirely.
The Blue Silver Grass returned to its initial form, and though it was still more robust and upright compared to ordinary Blue Silver Grass, it looked full of vitality. The long, slender tendrils wrapped around Wang Li's body, exuding life and energy.
Previously, the Blue Silver Grass had evolved to the second level; now it had evolved to the third. Wang Li wondered what level the Blue Silver King had reached, or how high the Blue Silver Emperor was...
But as long as evolution was possible, Wang Li remained confident that he could continue to evolve his Blue Silver Grass into a true top-tier spirit.
At this moment, Dugubo was still in shock. Whether it was the mutated soul weapon that had awakened and undergone further mutation through soul ring absorption, or Wang Li's third soul skill demonstrating effects comparable to a fourth soul skill, both had made a huge impact on him.
After recalling his spirit, Wang Li addressed the still-dumbfounded Dugubo:
"Senior, in seven days, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy will break for vacation. You can bring Yanyan back now. This time, I'm confident I can suppress all the toxins in her body back into her spirit."
Compared to his previous attempt to help suppress the toxins in Dugubo's granddaughter, this time, Wang Li had not only raised his soul power by six levels but also transcended a major realm. After undergoing the baptism of the thousand-year soul ring, his soul power had significantly improved in both quantity and quality.
More importantly, the evolution of his soul weapon had enhanced his vitality, increasing the effects of his "Vitality" trait and "Toughness" passive ability. When he used his second soul skill again, its effects were certainly several times better than before.
Helping Yanyan fully suppress the toxins was not only to show Dugubo the results of his training but also to free Yanyan from the toxins' effects, allowing her to cultivate faster. The best time for cultivation is before the age of twenty.
After Wang Li spoke, Dugubo snapped back to reality. He looked at Wang Li with a complex expression, but more than anything, there was warmth and kindness. He smiled and said:
"You're quite impressive, kid… Let's go. We'll head back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye for today."
With that, he grabbed Wang Li and soared into the air, soon returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
The next day!
Because of the matter concerning Yanyan's toxins, Dugubo couldn't wait the full seven days. The very next day, he went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and brought his granddaughter back. Whether it was Qin Ming, the teacher, or the three committee members of the academy, none dared to refuse Dugubo's request.
Back at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Yanyan jogged up to Wang Li. Wang Li only had time to say:
"Yanyan..."
Before she playfully pinched his face and began to rub it wildly. After a moment, Yanyan, with a face full of envy, jealousy, and frustration, spoke:
"When we first met, you were at level 25, and I was at level 31. Just under a year has passed, and you've broken through to Soul King while I've only increased by two levels. Xiao Li, what kind of monstrous talent do you have? I'm so jealous…"
Although it wasn't uncomfortable to be rubbed by Yanyan's soft, delicate hands, Wang Li still stopped her. He grasped her hands firmly, his expression turning serious as he said:
"Yanyan, stop teasing. This time, I'll suppress all the toxins back into your spirit. Once your body is completely healthy and free of toxins, you'll be able to cultivate much faster."
"Just like last time, I'll use my second soul skill to convert my soul power into a special type of soul power and infuse it into your body to help suppress the toxins. It will take a while, but you can just think of it as taking a nap."
At this moment, Dugubo was also very excited. The toxins that had been tormenting Yanyan for so long could finally be dealt with today, which was the best outcome she could hope for. She smiled sweetly and said:
"Hee hee... Xiao Li, I'll leave the toxins on my body to you to deal with!"
"Mm!"
Wang Li responded, then turned to Dugubo, who was standing nearby, and said:
"Senior, I'll need to continuously consume soul power to maintain my second soul skill. So, I'll rely on you to protect me while I work."
Dugubo nodded firmly. The safety of his granddaughter was at stake. If any soul master or spirit beast were to intrude at this moment, he would not hesitate to kill. His gaze was intense, and he was also eager to see what kind of second soul skill Wang Li would use to suppress the poison of the Green Phosphor Snake.
With all external factors eliminated, Wang Li summoned his spirit. Long strands of Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Yanyan's body as his second soul skill, Revival, activated.
Around Wang Li, the yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings glowed, and one of the yellow soul rings shone brightly.
Wang Li's soul power began to transform into life force, flowing through his hands and the Blue Silver branches into Yanyan's body.
Like raindrops nourishing the earth, the life force seeped into Yanyan's body, awakening her vitality, pushing her bodily functions to their peak... No, it went beyond that—it pushed her body's capabilities past their peak.
For Yanyan, this felt like an overwhelming warmth, a sensation that captivated her.
At this moment, her bodily functions resumed the process they hadn't completed last time: suppressing and expelling toxins, pushing the poison back to where it belonged, to every part of her body—her limbs, bones, organs—all of it.
This process was entirely led by Yanyan's body. Her temperature quickly rose, putting her in a state of full combat readiness.
If Yanyan's body could speak, it would surely say:
"Just take a nap, leave the rest to us!"
With that, Yanyan fell into a deep, drowsy sleep. With Wang Li and her grandfather, Dugubo, nearby, she knew she was safe, so she fell asleep without resistance, snuggling into Wang Li's arms.
Nearby, Dugubo watched with keen eyes. This was clearly not the time to focus on his granddaughter once again being in Wang Li's arms. As a Titled Douluo, his perception was incredibly sharp, and he could immediately tell that Yanyan's physical condition was improving.
If everything went smoothly, his granddaughter would fully recover, and the thought of this made even Dugubo extremely excited.
