Douluo Continent: Martial Soul is the Star Forging Dragon King

After the Death Spider King evolved into the Death Scythe, it further refined the element of poison to its extreme.

Both Bibi Dong and Dugu Bo possess martial souls containing potent poison, so why is Bibi Dong unharmed while Dugu Bo nearly kills himself?

Some might argue that the Death Spider King is a super martial soul, which makes Bibi Dong's physique far superior to Dugu Bo's.

From this perspective, there is indeed some truth to it.

However, Luo Chen felt that the reason why Dugu Bo was poisoned was ultimately because the Jade Scale Serpent King itself could not perfectly deal with its own venom.

"Because it cannot be completely processed, the Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul will instinctively expel the excess venom from its body."

The poison of the Azure Serpent King needs to be expelled from the body, and Dugu Bo, as a Soul Master, is the necessary path in the detoxification process.

"He ruined himself."

Bibi Dong scoffed, "Dugu Bo, your title of the weakest title is truly well-deserved."

"you!!"

Dugu Bo glared angrily at Bibi Dong, only to see her casually summon the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

"This is?!"

When the Death Spider Emperor, which had evolved into the ultimate beast spirit, appeared, Dugu Bo clearly felt the suppression from the superior spirit of the same attribute.

"My martial soul is called Death Spider Emperor, and like your Azure Scale Serpent Emperor, it was once a top-tier beast martial soul."

"Moreover, the quality of my Death Spider King is even higher than that of your Azure Scale Serpent King."

Born with a death domain, the Azure Serpent King is definitely not someone that a mere top-tier martial soul like the Azure Serpent King can easily mess with.

"According to my Xiaochen, Dugu Bo, when you are cultivating, does your martial spirit also continuously produce toxins?"

After saying that, Bibi Dong looked at Dugu Bo's face, which had turned completely dark, and knew that she had been right: "Heh, it's really ridiculous."

Theoretically, cultivating a poison-attribute martial soul should not produce toxins.

Poison, to put it bluntly, is more like a formula, a recipe.

how to say?

Take Bibi Dong's Death Spider Queen as an example.

The Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul is indeed a poison-attribute beast Martial Soul, but its venom sac does not store much toxin, and it is not poisonous at all normally.

Bibi Dong's cultivation of the ultimate poison was more about refining the essence of 'poison'.

This is the 'toxin formula' mentioned above.

By continuously improving the quality of the poison, it can be activated with soul power during battle, instantly causing the Death Spider King to produce a large amount of deadly poison.

In other words, Bibi Dong improved the quality and speed at which the Death Spider Queen produced poison.

Normally, Bibi Dong's Death Spider Queen is completely non-toxic, and she herself will not poison anyone.

Imagine if every Soul Master who awakens a poison-attribute Martial Soul could poison others upon contact, just like Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

What does this mean?

This shows that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan couldn't even control their own power.

Similarly, a martial spirit that constantly produces toxins during cultivation definitely indicates a problem somewhere.

Just like the teacher said.

Luo Chen said, "Your martial spirit has been flawed from the beginning, which causes it to produce a deadly poison when you cultivate it."

"These toxins cannot be completely stored by the martial spirit itself; they can only be expelled from the body."

As a result, Dugu Yan was poisoned, Dugu Bo was also poisoned, and anyone who came into contact with them would also be poisoned.

The difference between the three is that Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo have a stronger resistance to martial spirit poison compared to outsiders.

"So, how should this be resolved?"

Dugu Bo had already come to believe Luo Chen's judgment, because after his martial soul evolved, he condensed a poisonous bead within his body.

According to Luo Chen, this poisonous bead was clearly a product of the residual poison expelled by the Azure Scale Serpent King.

There are three solutions: upper, middle, and lower.

"I'll start with the middle strategy."

Luo Chen pointed to the Earth Dragon Golden Melon in Dugu Bo's hand and said, "This thing is called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It can make martial souls with dragon attributes or the qualification to transform into dragons evolve into dragon-type martial souls."

The Azure Scale Serpent King is the king of serpents, and naturally possesses the qualifications to transform into a dragon.

"Although this evolution is not 100% certain, at least you have a glimmer of hope."

Luo Chen told Dugu Bo that if the Azure Scale Serpent King evolved into a dragon, its defects would likely be compensated for.

At that time, all problems will naturally be solved.

"However, there is only one Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which means that only one of you, senior and your granddaughter, can obtain this opportunity."

"."

That being said, Dugu Bo was not actually worried about this.

Dugu Yan was his lifeblood, and Dugu Bo didn't even consider the ownership of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

As for myself

Dugu Bo asked, "Then what are the best and worst strategies?"

"The worst-case scenario is to set up a transfer station for the poison expelled by the martial soul before it leaves the senior's body."

Luo Chen said, "My idea is a soul bone."

"Soul bone?"

"Ah."

Luo Chen nodded and said, "To give a brief description of the snake venom's path from the inside out, it should be the martial spirit itself, the soul bone, the soul master, and the body outside."

The properties of the poison bead are actually similar to those of the soul bone.

However, since it interferes with the connection between the soul bone and the soul master, even if a poison bead is formed, it will still continuously affect Dugu Bo, eventually leading to his death from poisoning.

“The Soul Bone is different from the Poison Bead; it is independent.”

"Storing excess snake venom in the soul bone is like forging a completely sealed box to isolate the soul master from direct contact with the snake venom."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo felt a sudden clarity dawn upon him, as if a sudden enlightenment had dawned upon him.

For him, let alone the middle and best strategies, even this worst strategy gave Dugu Bo a chance to survive.

"However, this method has significant flaws, much like a time bomb."

Luo Chen explained the drawback of the soul bone's ability to store poison: there is an upper limit to the amount of poison the soul bone can hold, and if it is overloaded, there is also the possibility of sudden death.

"However, if it is a high-quality soul bone, it may last longer."

Luo Chen said, "At least ensuring that the senior dies a natural death is not a problem."

Upon hearing that he had died peacefully in his sleep, Dugu Bo's heart, which had been on edge because of the 'time bomb' news, was completely at ease.

"That's enough, that's enough."

Dugu Bo said gratefully, "Thank you so much for saving me, young friend! I am deeply grateful!"

"Don't rush to thank me."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Don't you want to hear the best strategy?"

"The best course of action?"

Dugu Bo then realized that Luo Chen had only mentioned the middle and lower strategies, and that either of these strategies could solve his problem.

The only difference is that the middle-level strategy addresses the root cause, while the lower-level strategy only treats the symptoms.

However, this only applies to Dugu Bo.

If it were Dugu Yan, after she ate the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, her martial soul would transform into a dragon seed.

If they are lucky enough to pass it down through their bloodline, the descendants of the Dugu family will never be troubled by this snake venom again, a truly permanent solution.

Therefore, Dugu Bo was somewhat confused.

What better strategy could be than the earthworm and the golden melon?

In Dugu Bo's view, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon was already a perfect solution to the Dugu family's problems.

"I have a method."

Luo Chen spread his hands, summoning the Sun Disc: "This will ensure the Dugu family's prosperity for ten thousand years!!"

Chapter 126 Dugu Bo's Ascension Ceremony

(The chapter number is incorrect; this is chapter 81.)

'May it last forever!'

'You really dare to say that.'

Dugu Bo didn't have much hope for Luo Chen's so-called family's continued prosperity.

He subconsciously felt that Luo Chen wanted to recruit him, which was why he said such baseless nonsense.

However, the moment Dugu Bo's gaze fell upon the sun disc radiating dazzling golden light in Luo Chen's palm, his previously indifferent attitude was instantly replaced by endless longing.

'What is this?'

'A martial spirit? This kid's martial spirit is a golden disc?'

"What kind of martial spirit is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

The old man's hands trembled slightly; for the first time, he felt a sense of confusion about his own perception.

Dugu Bo stared intently at the sun disk, feeling an unprecedented attraction emanating from it.

It is a yearning from life for a higher-dimensional species.

If one had to describe Dugu Bo's state at this moment in a single sentence, it would be something like, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

To live is to reach that point.
