Douluo Continent: Evolving from the Demon Soul Great White Shark

Inside the medicinal herb garden.

Within a month, Bai Xiao successfully completed the transformation, absorbed the immortal herbs, fused the soul bone, refined the whale glue, and condensed the soul ring.

He has now completely transformed from a soul beast into a human soul master.

With all the preparations made beforehand, Bai Xiao stabilized his cultivation at level 42 in just one month.

Furthermore, it successfully fused four 100,000-year-old soul bones and one external soul bone.

There is good news here: the poison attribute of the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances did not manifest in Bai Xiao; instead, his devouring ability was enhanced.

Perhaps this is the difference that occurs when the same soul bone is absorbed by different martial soul owners.

With the support of multiple soul bones and whale glue, Bai Xiao successfully condensed the first ring of the ten-thousand-year era.

In other words, he now possesses four ten-thousand-year soul skills at his level 42 Soul Master.

They are:

[First Soul Skill: Ice Element Control.]

Precise manipulation of ice elements can be used for attack, defense, control, and shaping ice forms.

[Second Soul Skill: Ice Tide.]

[Greatly increases own speed and all ice-type abilities.]

[Third Soul Skill: Ice Explosion.]

[Detonates surrounding controllable ice elements; the power depends on the amount of soul power injected and the purity of the ice attribute.]

[Fourth Soul Skill: Dragon's Fang.]

[Single-target burst skill: Summons a phantom dragon that opens its massive jaws to devour enemies, dealing massive damage.]

The eight skills provided by the four 100,000-year-old soul bones are:

[Deep-sea Mermaid Head Soul Bone: Spirit Detection/Soul Detection.]

The former can use mental power to explore every detail of the surrounding environment, which is equivalent to a God's-eye view.

The latter can quickly discern a person's inner thoughts, but the cool-down period is relatively long.

[Dark Abyss Dragon's Right Arm Bone: Dragon's Heaven-Shattering Strike/Dragon's Soul-Shattering Annihilation.]

The former deals powerful single-target burst damage, while the latter deals area-of-effect damage to multiple targets.

[Left Leg Bone of the Demonic Orca: Bloodlust/Void.]

Bloodlust is a buff skill that sacrifices defensive attributes in exchange for increased speed and attack power.

The Void allows one to temporarily put their body into a state of etherealness, making them immune to physical attacks.

[Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone: Healing/Flying.]

Aside from the Demon Orca's skills being somewhat unexpected, all the other skills were within White Owl's plan.

This includes most of the capabilities needed at this stage.

This includes single-target burst damage, area-of-effect damage, status buffs, survival skills, and more...

As for the Demon Orca's Soul Bone Technique, it was a huge surprise for Bai Xiao.

He never expected that the Demon Orca, known for its strength and devouring abilities, would produce a "Void" skill.

This is equivalent to discovering a top-tier soul beast in the Ice Jade Scorpion clan that can use the Ice Explosion Technique, and that the soul beast also produced a soul bone with the Ice Explosion Technique skill.

It has to be said that Bai Xiao was incredibly lucky with this move.

Furthermore, there are the two skills of the head spirit bone...

Mental detection goes without saying; it's a divine skill on the battlefield, capable of acquiring battlefield information from all angles without any blind spots, making it a complete counter to Tang San's hidden weapons!

Soul detection can also reveal the enemy's psychological activities and predict their next attack route.

and……

This skill is incredibly powerful when applied to daily life; it's practically the same as mind reading.

"Phew~"

On the open ground, Bai Xiao let out a long sigh of relief and casually removed the barrier that had been blocking his senses from Ah Yin's body.

Thus, after being shrouded in darkness for a month, Ah Yin finally saw the light again.

"Wow~"

"Growing so fast?"

Bai Xiao looked at the grass that was originally only as tall as his forearm, and now it had grown to be almost as tall as a person, and immediately exclaimed in amazement.

A month ago, fearing that Ah Yin would discover his secret, he used a barrier to isolate her from his senses before transforming into human form. He never expected that she would grow so tall in just one month.

"My benefactor~"

"You're finally done with your work."

Ah Yin's joyful mental transmission appeared in her mind, and Bai Xiao walked up to her.

"How is it?"

"Is the environment here suitable for you?"

"Suitable~"

"This is simply a paradise for plant-based spirit beasts. My cultivation speed here has increased at least tenfold."

"Thank you so much, my benefactor."

Having suddenly moved from a dark, sunless cave to a sacred cultivation ground like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Ah Yin, despite living in darkness for the past month, was still in a state of barely concealed joy.

Bai Xiao observed the grass carefully for a while before speaking.

"Cultivate well, I'm waiting for you to return to human form and repay me properly."

Upon hearing this, the grass blades with golden patterns instantly curled up, looking just like a mimosa plant.

Gintoki was clearly embarrassed by those words...

Bai Xiao, who had taken in every subtle change, smiled and was surprised that a mere blade of grass could have a physiological reaction.

He wanted to tease the other person a few more times, but just then, the poisonous fog above the herb garden suddenly stirred.

簌~

A stream of emerald green light pierced through the barrier of poisonous fog and landed steadily on the open ground of the herb garden.

Bai Xiao followed the gaze and happened to meet the eyes of Dugu Bo and his grandson.

"White Owl!"

I missed you so much.

Dugu Yan ran and jumped into Bai Xiao's arms.

The cheerful girl never hid her feelings. Dugu Yan hugged Bai Xiao tightly, her little nose twitching as she sniffed his scent.

I wanted to use this to release the longing I'd felt over the past month.

"This girl..."

Behind the two, Dugu Bo saw Dugu Yan's impatient appearance and couldn't help but show a kind smile.

He said this as he walked towards Bai Xiao.

"Bai Xiao, you have no idea how much Yan Yan has been these past few days..."

"etc!"

His words abruptly stopped, and Dugu Bo's foot hovered in mid-air.

After repeatedly checking with his mental energy, he finally revealed an expression of extreme shock and horror.

"How did your strength become like this?"

Dugu Yan was puzzled by Dugu Bo's reaction. She gradually loosened her grip on Bai Xiao's arms and began to examine him carefully.

"what?"

"Your aura doesn't seem as strong as before."

"What's going on?"

Facing the two of them, Bai Xiao forced a bitter smile and said with feigned resignation.

"I took a herb from the herb garden, and this is what happened to me."

"What?"

Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"Didn't you say you knew about those things?"

"How did it turn out like this?"

She had seen those herbs before; each one shimmered with a strange light and contained a large amount of energy.

Dugu Bo and she had both studied those herbs before, but the final conclusion was that they should not be taken lightly.

Because it possesses enormous internal energy, but its properties are unknown.

Taking it rashly could have negative effects on the body, especially for poison-attribute soul masters like them.

But right now...

"Are you about to die?"

"Waaaaah~"
