Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 8 Martial Soul Mutation, Thousand-Year Soul Ring

"Are you crazy? You still want to absorb this soul bone?" Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu You with complicated eyes. This child had shocked her too much. He fought against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear while seriously injured and still won.

Looking at Leng Yaozhu who had suddenly appeared beside him, Gu You endured the pain and said, "You promised to help me, but you were just watching the show." After thinking for a moment with a suspicious look, he said, "I will definitely absorb it. This soul bone combined with my dragon claw is a perfect match."

Leng Yaozhu did not respond. Instead, she snatched the right palm bone of the Terrorclaw Bear from Gu You's hand, examined it, and shook her head. "This is not a hundred-year-old soul bone. It was dropped by a dark gold Terrorclaw Bear that was about 2000 years old. I didn't expect the rewards of this Spirit Ascension Platform to be so profound. Even I didn't know. You can't absorb it at all. I can keep it for you and let you absorb it after you break through to Soul Venerable."

Her words only strengthened Gu You's belief in absorption. He knew that the soul bone in the Spirit Ascension Platform couldn't be taken out unless absorbed inside. Otherwise, if it wasn't absorbed, the unabsorbed soul bone would condense into a dark gold dinosaur claw bear for soul masters entering the Spirit Ascension Platform to test. Perhaps someone would succeed and absorb it. However, these were just thoughts, since Leng Yaozhu had already spoken. But Gu You still wanted to try, since the enhancement from the dragon claw was more than just one or two times.

"Just try it once, okay, Master?" Gu You said firmly.

"You... I'll protect you. If an emergency occurs, you must immediately interrupt and press the emergency call button to exit." Leng Yaozhu finally agreed.

Gu You smiled as he accepted the soul bone, sat down, and used his soul power to connect his right arm with the soul bone. At the same time, he released his martial soul, preparing to absorb it.

Leng Yaozhu snapped her fingers, and a ball of fiery red light enveloped Gu You. Even the staff outside the Ascension Platform couldn't see what was inside the light.

Ah!

Gu You's screams echoed outside. Leng Yaozhu shook her head. She could see Gu You's youthful arrogance. He thought he could absorb everything beyond his own limits just because he had some talent. But she admired him more. The path of a Soul Master is inherently competitive, and the younger one is, the faster one's cultivation speed.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Gu You's martial soul quality is at least god-level. Leng Yaozhu cannot believe that a six-year-old child whose bones are not yet fully developed can physically withstand the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and engage in close combat with it. The only possibility is the feedback from his martial soul. To give an analogy, everyone knows about the Vajra Baboon martial soul, right? After the first ring is released, the soul master will inherit some of its basic characteristics, such as growing hair all over the body and becoming larger, which is the so-called amplification. Gu You's martial soul is a dragon-type martial soul, and the strength of the amplification depends on the quality of the martial soul. From this point of view, it can be observed that Gu You's martial soul is at least quasi-god-level. If Gu You really succeeds in absorbing the soul bone this time, then he will become the first peerless genius in the past ten thousand years to possess a soul bone at the age of six.

"Go quickly! Inform the Tower Master of the Ancient Tower." Outside the Ascension Platform, the staff member clutched his chest in distress and instructed the two. A two-thousand-year-old soul bone was gone just like that, and it was a top-grade one at that. This was not the time when there were many soul beasts ten thousand years ago. In this era, every soul bone is extremely precious.

Of course, the Spirit Pagoda could afford to give away a two-thousand-year-old soul bone. However, Gu You, a terrifying genius who fought the Terror Claw Bear at the age of six, was also Leng Yaozhu's apprentice. In addition, the relationship between the deputy tower master and the tower master had been gradually deteriorating recently. As a loyal follower of Qian Gu Dongfeng, this staff member naturally had to appeal.

It hurts! It hurts so much!!

Gu You didn't know how to describe it. He originally thought it was just his right arm that hurt, but he didn't expect his whole body to hurt. It felt like he was going to explode.

The violent power was about to break through everything. The raging resentment of the dark gold dinosaur on the soul bone was constantly washing over Gu You's body. Bloodstains were visible in Gu You's eyes, and the veins all over his body were clearly visible.

But even in this situation, the dragon's roar interrupted everything again. Gu You's whole body began to be covered with purple scales, and the blood vessels on his face changed from bright red to dark purple. Strangely, the resentment on his soul bone dimmed instantly after the dragon's roar, becoming weak and powerless, as if indicating submission.

What's going on? Leng Yaozhu was shocked. The fiery red ball of light formed by her soul power began to turn dark purple. Unlike the previous times, this time it was an extreme destruction attribute that eroded Leng Yaozhu's soul power.

Martial Soul Mutation!

A thought arose in Leng Yaozhu's mind: if Gu You's Purple Gold Dragon Emperor Martial Soul was indeed mutated from the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, then this mutation was a second mutation. If the first mutation was benign, then the second one was definitely benign as well.

However, Leng Yaozhu was only speculating. Perhaps Gu You's martial soul was truly a martial soul that had never been recorded in history. In that case, it would depend on whether this martial soul mutation was benign or weakened.

In the sea of ​​ancient spirits, a purple scale grew on the tip of Chicken King's small head. Countless energies swirled around Chicken King. This was the energy accumulated by the Spirit Ascension Platform, which could probably raise the soul ring to about five or six hundred years, but only after leaving the Spirit Ascension Platform.

The pain throughout his body was still there, but it wasn't as intense. Gu You could clearly hear his heartbeat and also clearly feel the special changes in his right arm and palm.

The scales on its body gradually faded away, and its clothes, which were already tattered from the battle with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, were now reduced to just shorts.

However, this brought about huge physical changes. Although Gu You was only six years old, he was already 1.5 meters tall, and his skin was incredibly fair and tender. Coupled with his handsome face, he was definitely a little heartthrob. The only drawback was that he was surrounded by a foul, rotten smell.

The removal of impurities from his body made Gu You feel incredibly refreshed, but he couldn't stop meditating yet because the fusion of his soul bones wasn't complete. He could take this opportunity to recover his soul power.

In Gu You's current understanding, after fusing with the soul bone, his physical strength is already comparable to that of a three-ring Soul Master, and absorbing a thousand-year soul ring is no problem. Therefore, after fusing with the soul bone, his goal is no longer to aim for a hundred-year soul ring, but a thousand-year one!

Leng Yaozhu was also anxiously waiting outside, but when she saw the purple light gradually turn into white, she was stunned. Gu You had really succeeded.

After stabilizing his soul bone, the light faded, and Gu You stood up. Just as he was about to tell Leng Yaozhu the good news, he was met with a slap in the face.

"Are you still my master?!!" Gu You flew out, cursing angrily in the air.

"You're so young and you already know how to be a hooligan. I'll teach you a lesson so you'll remember it." Leng Yaozhu casually pressed the red button and left. With Gu You's current strength, she really didn't need to stay in the primary Spirit Ascension Platform. At present, her martial soul was a benign mutation. Hundred-year-old soul beasts were like killing ants to Gu You. Moreover, he was certain that Gu You wouldn't leave. Being able to absorb a thousand-year-old soul bone meant that Gu You's own physical strength could already withstand a thousand-year-old soul ring.

Perhaps she really had taken on a good disciple... As she dissipated, Leng Yaozhu looked in the direction where Gu You had been sent flying and murmured to herself.

Dark Gold Terror Claw!

Five terrifying beams of light shot straight at the two three-ring Soul Masters in front of them. Originally, the two didn't pay much attention to Gu You because he only had one ring and it was a ten-year Soul Ring. However, when they sensed these five terrifying auras, it was too late to stop them.

Amidst the fear in Gu You's eyes, they vanished in specks of light, leaving behind a trail of energy. Gu You was overjoyed. These two Soul Masters had just killed a thousand-year-old Soul Beast and had exhausted their Soul Power. Just as they were about to absorb it, Leng Yaozhu slapped him away, giving him a huge advantage. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for him to defeat two three-ring Soul Masters with full Soul Power.
