Douluo: Dream Overlord

"Alright, now you need to circulate your soul power."

On the bed, the two sat facing each other, their hands touching hands and feet touching feet, somewhat like the way martial arts are taught in a martial arts novel.

Shi Guang said seriously, "I will use my hands and the Eight Spider Lances to sense the flow of soul power within your body, absorb and filter it, and then return it to your body."

You cannot open your eyes during this time, because the acupoints around the eyes are crucial for the flow of soul power!

Also, you mustn't resist my examination; doing so will disrupt your soul power and be extremely dangerous for the detoxification process!

Dugu Yan nodded in acknowledgment after remembering these words and began to silently circulate the soul power within her body.

Shi Guang looked Dugu Yan up and down with great interest, a playful glint in his eyes.

He was actually lying to her. There are no acupoint charts or acupoint readings by undressing.

Shi Guang did indeed take relevant courses and understand the meridian diagram of the human body, but that had absolutely nothing to do with acupoints.

Moreover, he was only a dabbler; his skills had not been tested in actual clinical practice.

In fact, all he needs to do is use the Eight Spider Lances to absorb the poison and soul power and then filter it back.

But if that were the case, how could Shi Guang feast his eyes, and how could he use the Remnant Dream Martial Soul to achieve his goals?

As Dugu Yan's soul power circulated, Shi Guang reached out and explored her meridians, checking whether her development was complete.

Dugu Yan's face flushed, and she gritted her teeth, persisting in her exploration of time.

After inspecting for a while, Shi Guang took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped his hands with satisfaction.

"It's time to get down to business. If we don't take it seriously, Dugu Yan's vigilance will probably be exposed."

Time manipulated the eight spider spears to pierce into Dugu Yan's body, and began to absorb the soul power within her body as she frowned in pain.

"He's absorbing my soul power, just as he said!"

Feeling her soul power being continuously drained from her body, Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy, and she stopped resisting, letting the other party absorb her soul power.

In the world of Douluo Continent, soul power is actually just a reserve hidden energy stored in the body of a soul master. Most of them absorb soul power in battle to release soul skills.

The main functions of the soul power within the body are as a backup plan, to improve the physical fitness of the soul master, and to accelerate the recovery of soul power.

A Soul Master's level does not drop due to the loss of Soul Power; it is more like a "one certificate, forever certified".

As long as your soul environment remains intact, your strength will return to its peak as your body repairs and your soul power recovers.

As time absorbed Dugu Yan's poisonous soul power, a gemstone martial soul appeared in his hand.

This is the antidote to the Time Conjecture.

Injecting the venom of the Azure Serpent into the gemstone, the gemstone, as a weapon spirit independent of the soul master's body, should be able to serve as a stable object capable of independently withstanding poison attributes.

Just like Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, it can be engraved with the patterns of the God of Slaughter Domain, allowing the Clear Sky Hammer to unleash its full potential.

Time plans to use the gem to absorb these poisonous properties, so that the gem can see if it can gain the ability to use poison.

He would immediately stop the experiment if there were any unexpected events or safety hazards during the injection.

As the Eight Spider Lances absorbed Dugu Yan's soul power, Shi Guang did not filter out the poisonous attributes within it, but instead absorbed these poisonous soul powers into his body through the connection.

"These poisons are indeed powerful! As soon as they enter my body, they begin to assimilate my soul power."

Shi Guang used his spiritual power to sense the changes in his body and was somewhat surprised.

These poisonous soul powers, like the virus that was their predecessor, possess extremely strong aggressiveness and infectivity.

If it weren't for the sheer strength of Time's soul power and the suppression of his mental power, his soul power would probably have been devoured and assimilated into poisonous soul power in no time.

Time used its spiritual power to strip away the poisonous attributes from these soul powers and infused the pure soul power into Dugu Yan's body.

In addition, he used his mental power to control his soul power, which enveloped the poisonous element and poured it into the gem, observing it closely.

On the other hand, relying on his powerful mental strength, he multitasked, using his mental strength to observe the conflict and relaxation stages that occurred during the replacement of soul power within Dugu Yan's body.

This is when Dugu Yan's soul power is at its weakest, and she is most vulnerable when suppressing her internal soul power. She only has one chance.

Soon, as Dugu Yan's soul power weakened and Shi Guang seized the opportunity, Shi Guang's face lit up with joy, and he summoned the Remnant Dream Martial Soul.

"Fourth Soul Skill - Spirit Imprint".

Through the hidden passage of time, relying on the silent mental soul skill and the moment when Dugu Yan was distracted and relaxed, he successfully struck the opponent's mental world with his fourth soul skill.

This means that the effect of the soul skill he releases on Dugu Yan has been enhanced, and he can more easily apply his mental power to her.

However, caution is still advised. When facing a much stronger opponent, this mark will be detected and then erased.

Time no longer focused on Dugu Yan, whose soul power was stable, but instead turned its attention to the gem martial soul floating in her hand.

The gemstone martial soul was no longer as crystal clear and radiant as before.

Instead, its entire body turned into a light green, like that of a plant, and the oily green light enveloped time and the solitary wild goose who was meditating with its eyes closed.

However, Dugu Yan's hair and eyes were originally green, so all the trees in the Black Forest were dyed green.

Time calmly examined the gemstones, his pupils reflecting the green and other gems, and he infused them with his spiritual power.

As the results of his mental probe were revealed, Shi Guang's face lit up with joy.

"Just as I expected! The fundamental nature of the Gemstone Martial Soul has changed! The special Martial Soul that was originally attribute-less has become poison-attribute!"

Feeling the information transmitted by the spiritual power, Shi Guang was somewhat excited.

The fact that the gem has become poisonous means that there's no need to search for rare illusion-type soul beasts anymore, since poison-type soul beasts aren't that precious.

The important thing is that with the gem martial soul that can absorb the poison of the titled Douluo level of Lonely Bo in the future, it is possible to undergo a second mutation after absorbing poison-attribute soul beasts!

Gems are inherently a special type of high-level martial soul without any attributes, and they might evolve into a top-tier poison-attribute martial soul in the future.

As a rare poison-attribute martial soul in Douluo Continent 1, even after the Jade Serpent evolved into the Jade Serpent Emperor, Dugu Bo still managed to manipulate it to an extreme degree.

All of his soul skills are slow-starting area-of-effect attacks; only his Medusa soul bone is somewhat useful. No wonder he was easily defeated by various titled Douluo.

As the first Title Douluo to appear, his one-on-one combat strength was incredibly weak; he couldn't even defeat Chrysanthemum Douluo, a disgrace of the offensive type.

The only way to boost his K/D ratio is by relying on Tang San's Mother-Child Soul Chasing Darts severely injuring a Title Douluo and killing tens of thousands of civilians with poisonous mist at the end.

If it were Shi Guang to control a poison-attribute martial soul, he would definitely choose a single-target soul skill with abilities such as infection and plague.

This not only harms Soul Masters and ordinary people, but also absorbs countless negative emotions.

Thinking about the various soul ring combinations for poison-attribute martial souls, Shi Guang put away his martial soul and looked forward to the future.

At this moment, Dugu Yan quietly opened her eyes, revealing a hint of joy.

After she converted all that pure soul power, her soul power actually increased by one level, reaching level 39!

Dugu Yan looked at the smiling Shi Guang and said gratefully, "Thank you, Shi Guang! I can feel that the poison in my body has been basically eliminated as my soul power has been drained!"

"My soul power cultivation speed should increase significantly in the next few years!"

She looked at Shiguang with gratitude. Not only had Shiguang helped her remove the toxins from her soul power, but he had also left some less aggressive toxins for her to use with her soul skills.

"You're welcome. After all, we're friends, aren't we?"

Seeing Dugu Yan nod, Shi Guang smiled even more and said softly, "Now, I also need your help."

"Just tell me, and I'll do everything in my power to help you!"

Dugu Yan was in a great mood and patted her chest as she spoke. Then she realized that she was naked and covered herself with the quilt, looking at Shi Guang with embarrassment.

"Okay, then I need your full help now."

Seeing the puzzled Dugu Yan, Time summoned the Remnant Dream Martial Soul, smiled slightly, and said softly:

"Third Soul Skill - Deep Hypnosis!"
