Douluo Continent: Blue Overlord

Chapter 62 Strength Test

Dugu Bo was eventually persuaded by Yu Tiancheng.

He chose to absorb the external soul bone composed of these eight spider legs.

Yu Tiancheng walked toward the Blue Silver Emperor, which was growing quietly to the side.

Perhaps it was the abundant energy of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire that had an effect, or perhaps it was the Blue Silver Emperor's own strong vitality. In just a few days, its roots and leaves had become thicker and wider, and the golden light patterns flowing on its surface had become more intense. Yu Tiancheng stroked the Blue Silver Emperor's supple leaves with his fingers, and said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, I only planted you a few days ago, and now I have to ask you to come with me on another trip."

As he spoke, he took out a specially made flowerpot from his soul tool, then dug out the Blue Silver Emperor with soil and transplanted it into the flowerpot.

Yu Tiancheng's original plan was to refine his body with ice and fire, and awaken his martial soul a second time, so that his soul power level should not have increased much.

However, he unexpectedly consumed two more immortal herbs, and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone and Vajra Dragon Claw within his body were also completely refined and absorbed.

Although most of the energy was used to strengthen his body, the energy was so vast that the portion that escaped pushed his soul power to level 50.

You'll need a Soul Ring once you reach level 50.

The original plan for the 5th ring was to use a dragon-type soul beast with a lightning attribute that was about 3 years old, to further enhance the power of the lightning attribute and its various physical qualities.

The sixth ring is the Blue Silver King, which has a lifespan of 85,000 years; the seventh ring has the ready-made 100,000-year soul ring of Xiao Wu; and the eighth ring is a challenge against the forest overlord, the Azure Sky Bull Python.

As for the 9th ring, it depends on how much benefit he can gain from participating in the Divine Trial. If it goes smoothly, he can challenge the million-year-old soul beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. If it doesn't go smoothly, he can only go to find the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

Yu Tiancheng's current Five Elements Golden Body is several times stronger than his expected level 50 physical attributes.

Its strength far surpasses that of ordinary Soul Emperors, and even Soul Saints!

An 85,000-year-old soul ring, while far exceeding the limit, is not entirely unimaginable.

Then the originally planned 6th ring can be moved forward one position.

Of course, forcibly killing the target is only a last resort.

His ideal scenario would be to persuade the Blue Silver King to make a sacrifice.

As for how to persuade him?

Yu Tiancheng looked at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand; this was the most crucial bargaining chip.

Just as Yu Tiancheng was pondering, Dugu Bo also completed the absorption of the soul bone and, after a brief period of adaptation, gained initial control over the Eight Spider Spears.

Dugu Bo could not hide his excitement as he controlled the Eight Spider Spears to dance.

"Tiancheng, no wonder you gave me this soul bone. It's as if it was tailor-made for me."

I have never been good at close combat, but this soul bone makes up for my weakness.

These eight spider spears are not only sturdy, but also have extremely strong piercing power, making them a perfect combination of offense and defense. I am now confident that I can withstand that old man's chrysanthemum head-on.

Moreover, its ability to store toxins far exceeds expectations; it seems the more it stores, the more potent it becomes.

Dugu Bo has always been known as the weakest title holder, not only because he is only level 91, but mainly because his soul skills are either large-area poisoning or large-area control. He does not have any strong offensive soul skills in one-on-one combat. The Eight Spider Lances, which combine offense and defense, make up for his shortcomings.

Yu Tiancheng smiled and nodded: "Then congratulations to Grandpa Dugu. With this powerful weapon, your strength has reached a new level."

Dugu Bo looked at the Blue Silver Emperor in Yu Tiancheng's hand and curiously leaned closer to ask, "I've been wanting to ask before, did you plant this new herb? Why did you dig it up again?"

"Grandpa Dugu, I'm level 50 now. This herb might help me get an 8-year soul ring."

Upon hearing that Yu Tiancheng was level 50, Dugu Bo was not too surprised. This immortal herb could allow a Soul Saint to level up and become a Soul Douluo, and even allowed the old dragon Yu Yuanzhen to break through his bottleneck after many years, from level 95 to level 96.

It's normal for a level 40 Soul Master to level up four or five times.

What truly shocked Dugu Bo was that Yu Tiancheng actually wanted an 80,000-year-old fifth ring.

"Isn't this a bit too hasty? Wasn't the original plan 3 years?"

Yu Tiancheng grinned and recounted his process of refining his body with ice and fire, awakening his martial soul a second time, and then refining his body with the five elements.

Dugu Bo was somewhat dazed after hearing this, as each and every one of them was beyond his comprehension.

The Five Elements theory, in particular, greatly shocked him. With his knowledge as a Title Douluo, he keenly sensed that it seemed to contain the ultimate truths of the universe.

"There's no point in saying more! Grandpa Dugu, why not give it a try!" Yu Tiancheng extended an invitation.

"Okay! Then you can do it."

Dugu Bo faced Yu Tiancheng, waiting for him to attack.

Yu Tiancheng showed no mercy and launched an attack instantly, throwing a punch at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo's gaze sharpened, surprised by the opponent's speed, which was no weaker than that of a Soul Emperor of the Agility-type, and this was without using Soul Rings or other means.

He reacted extremely quickly, raising his left palm to block Yu Tiancheng's attack.

boom!

A dull thud was heard.

Dugu Bo's body trembled slightly, which shocked him greatly. With his titled Douluo physique, he might not be able to withstand the attack of an ordinary Soul Saint, but this Soul King without any Soul Rings had actually done it.

Now, Dugu Bo was even more eager to know where Yu Tiancheng's limit was. He controlled his power at the level of a level 70 Soul Saint, and his body spun around, causing his right leg to sweep towards Yu Tiancheng like a steel whip.

Yu Tiancheng didn't dodge; he simply used his left arm to block.

Then came an even louder collision.

Dugu Bo was utterly shocked; the power of a level 70 Soul Saint couldn't even shake his opponent.

Subsequently, Dugu Bo gradually released the restrictions on his strength and exchanged more than a dozen blows with Yu Tiancheng. Only when he raised his power to the level of a top-tier offensive Soul Saint did he finally have the effect of suppressing Yu Tiancheng.

"What a prodigy!" Dugu Bo exclaimed as he struck Yu Tiancheng back with a single palm strike.

Immediately afterward, Dugu Bo shouted with great bravado, "Kid, I believe you now; let me see just how powerful your full-force attack can be!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tiancheng immediately went all out, his body instantly transforming into a dragon. His soul rings shone brightly in succession as he unleashed his amplifying soul skills, and finally, countless silver light patterns appeared on the surface of his body.

With each step completed, Yu Tiancheng's aura would increase significantly, especially after the silver light patterns appeared, which increased exponentially.

Dugu Bo's expression was solemn. He remembered that Yu Tiancheng had said that if he were to undergo a second awakening of his martial soul, his strength would increase by at least 100%.

He dared not be careless and immediately completed the Martial Soul Possession and unleashed his fifth Soul Skill, Serpent Heavenly Shield.

Yu Tiancheng got ready and swung his dragon claw at Dugu Bo.

A deafening roar resounded in front of Dugu Bo. In the violent collision, countless cracks appeared on the soul power shield in front of him, and waves of soul power rippled across the shield. Dugu Bo's body flew backward uncontrollably.

After being possessed by the martial spirit, Dugu Bo's body slammed heavily against the stone wall not far away.

"Hey kid! Your full-force attack is comparable to a power-attack type Soul Douluo."
