"Grandpa, Grandpa, my martial soul has successfully evolved!"
Three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared around his body, pulsating rhythmically.
Feeling the immense enhancement to her physical abilities and her own toxicity, Dugu Yan felt a sense of anticipation rising within her.
Before she could even dispel the spirit possession, Lin Hao and his grandfather Dugu Bo appeared before her as if they had teleported.
Unlike her grandfather, who had already come up to her asking all sorts of questions, inquiring about her feelings and difficulties, Lin Hao, after carefully observing her overall changes for a long time, took out paper and pen from his storage soul tool and asked her with a sincere expression.
"Um, Sister Yan Yan, may I touch your martial spirit to take a look? Oh, and if possible, could I have a scale to examine it? And also..."
The numerous questions from the old man and the young girl left Dugu Yan somewhat dazed. She could only nod unconsciously, and then, without even realizing it, her little paws were touched.
Because right now Lin Hao is pointing his fingers at her, and together with her two little hands that are supposed to be around her waist, they are fighting as if they are exchanging blows.
Then, apart from her two newly grown little paws, even her tail, which she herself hadn't noticed was undergoing a strange change, was patted by Lin Hao.
The next moment, with a powerful lash from its tail, which had grown almost twice as long, the old man and the young man were suddenly sent flying a distance by the provoked Dugu Yan's tail.
Then, she stared in disbelief as the old man and the young man began to exchange the information they had obtained, writing it down on paper at incredible speed.
"Through initial contact, compared to the original Jade Scale Serpent Martial Soul era, after evolving into a Poisonous Flood Dragon, the physical attributes have increased by at least two times, far surpassing ordinary control-type battle soul masters. The strength has increased three times, and it can already initially crush powerful attack-type beast soul masters of the same level. According to authoritative (Dugu Bo) speculation, apart from the soul, the physical strength is no weaker than that of a weapon-type Martial Soul King."
"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent (crossed out) that was originally in his body has at least doubled in quality of the Black Jade Dragon Poison, reaching the level of Dugu Bo's Soul King. Moreover, the obvious poisoning that would have appeared from the Soul Venerable level has now completely disappeared."
"With the increased power and quality of the poison at this moment, it can be concluded that the body's tolerance and immunity to toxins have also been greatly enhanced. It is expected that this innate poison resistance can last until the Soul Emperor level (this is questionable) before any new changes may occur."
"So, do you think I'll acquire my spirit rings in the order planned by the family, or what?"
The girl's voice made Lin Hao stop writing. He turned around and looked at Dugu Yan, whose cold aura had disappeared and whose temperament had changed drastically, making her even more charming. After a long while, he turned to Dugu Bo and offered his suggestion.
"If it weren't for this incident, Sister Yanyan's plans for the future would probably be the same as yours, right, senior?"
"Indeed, after all, with an elder like me who has already reached the title of Douluo, following my old path, although the achievements are not very high, at least it provides some security for her future."
Well, ever since he realized that there are a lot of weirdos these days, Dugu Bo stopped being so proud of his level 91 and stopped being so complacent.
Not to mention that he can't beat that old chrysanthemum from the Spirit Hall, even now, damn it, a mere level 20-something Great Soul Master wielding a strange soul tool can threaten him.
"The Jade Scale Serpent Martial Soul is classified as a high-level Martial Soul. However, compared to other high-level Martial Souls of the same level, it is precisely because of its insufficient attack power that it has been making great strides in poison attributes. But too much of a good thing can be bad, and in the end, it has harmed itself. In this respect, I think Sister Yan Yan doesn't need to do this."
He quickly wrote down a large group of powerful, high-level soul beasts with terrifying toxins on a blank draft paper, based on his knowledge. After pausing for a moment, he added several more dragon-type creatures.
Looking at the soul beasts that Lin Hao wrote down, and their characteristics, Dugu Bo, a poison master who had spent his whole life playing with poison, also talked about the usual soul ring configuration of his clan's Azure Scale Serpent Martial Soul.
"The Azure Serpent Martial Soul inherited by the Dugu clan is indeed among the high-level Martial Souls, but I think you are aware of the differences between various creatures in nature. At the very least, our Martial Soul, and even the Martial Soul Beast itself, are not powerful Martial Beasts that excel in strength and speed and can overwhelm others with their power. Whether it is them or us, if we want to quickly form combat power, we can only rely on poison!"
"So, the configuration that the elders of the Dugu family found for the Jade Scale Serpent Martial Soul was to find the five poisonous creatures for the first five soul rings to enhance its toxicity?"
"Yes, and because of the mixed poison in the early stage, the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom can be more troublesome. As our soul power level increases, the toxicity of our martial soul will also be continuously strengthened, giving us the confidence and strength to fight beyond our level."
"But after reaching the Soul Saint level, we actually have to make up for the inherent weakness of our Martial Soul. After all, the innate poison in our bodies has become too powerful due to our continuous accumulation. Without a strong physical body to support us, we will be the first to fall because of our own poison, not the enemy."
"I've only managed to survive until now because I evolved when I got my ninth spirit ring, but Yan Yan... wait! Kid, what do you mean?"
With his gaze fixed on Lin Hao and the various soul beasts that Lin Hao had written on the draft paper, Dugu Bo seemed to have thought of something, but due to the cognitive barrier caused by his own narrow knowledge, he was still trapped in it and did not know how to express it.
"Sister Yan Yan's martial soul has already evolved. At the very least, it can be ranked among the top-tier martial souls. If it develops well, it is not impossible for it to be promoted to a super martial soul after reaching the Title Douluo stage!"
"To be honest, without your treasure land, the best plan I could have made for Sister Yan Yan would have been to continuously improve her physical and mental qualities after becoming a Soul King, and then find a real killing move on the eighth or ninth Soul Ring after she reached a new level of control over the energy in her body."
"After all, if Sister Yan Yan's physical and spiritual qualities are improved, she can still withstand a 100,000-year spirit ring with her ninth spirit ring. And a 100,000-year spirit ring will definitely produce a 100,000-year spirit bone. With the support of these two treasures, the original Sister Yan Yan may have had the opportunity to reach the Super Douluo realm."
"But here? If you trust me, then once the five poisons are combined, with Yan Yan's natal poison as the main component, and the remaining soul rings are absorbed by soul beasts that can simultaneously enhance the strength of her body and soul, as well as the toxicity of her martial soul, thus continuously raising her basic conditions."
"As for whether doing this will cause her poison skills to fall behind her strength, here is a treasure. If Sister Yan Yan can really do that, with the power of the treasure, she can amplify her poison and purify it a thousand or even a million times. As long as she can withstand it, even a Limit Douluo might have to die with resentment from Sister Yan Yan's natal poison!"
As he spoke, he gave Dugu Bo a look that said, "You should understand."
