Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 23 Soul Hunting

The current evolution of the martial soul seems to have added a few more snake heads, but since it hasn't fully evolved, it's just that a few heads haven't fully grown out yet.

To fully evolve, one important item is still missing.

Dugu Bo's martial soul should no longer be called Azure Serpent Emperor, but rather Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent. Why still a serpent? Because serpents are inherently a sub-dragon species, and the extra earth attribute gained from consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon gives him a great sense of security. Moreover, the Azure Serpent Emperor is originally the king of all serpents, so it naturally won't evolve into a dragon.

However, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent is on a higher level. Its scales have turned into spikes comparable to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was originally a control-type Soul Master, and melee combat was its weakness. Now that it has evolved, its weakness has been made up.

Moreover, thanks to the medicinal properties of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, he rose from level 93 to the peak of level 94. Herbs with compatible attributes have a huge impact on a person's martial soul. The only pity is that his martial soul was not fully evolved. If it had been fully evolved, he could have surpassed the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. And his soul power reached level 95.

Dugu Bo now feels that his strength is about the same as Lao Long's, but if his martial soul were to fully evolve, he could easily defeat Lao Long.

Dugu Bo was somewhat moved by the tremendous changes that had taken place in the past year. He had been unaware of the treasures he had found, but now he was finally able to make good use of these blessed lands.

At this moment, Dugu Bo stood up, feeling as if he had inexhaustible strength.

Dugu Bo looked closely and saw that his granddaughter Dugu Yan and Xiao Yi were still absorbing the energy. As a titled Douluo, his physical strength had already surpassed that of ordinary humans, so it was normal for him to absorb the energy quickly.

Xiao Yi and the other two, one a Soul Venerable and the other a Soul Sect Master, naturally couldn't absorb energy as quickly as he could.

An hour later, Xiao Yi woke up. After absorbing his fourth soul ring, he reached level 42. After another six months at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he reached level 45. Now, after absorbing the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, he reached level 49. If he relied on himself, it would take him two or three years to improve this quickly. However, he used immortal herbs, so there was no problem with his foundation being unstable. Even if his foundation were unstable, Xiao Yi would have the Xuanzhong Ruler to polish it.

At this moment, Dugu Bo saw Xiao Yisu wake up and instantly appeared beside him, smiling as he spoke.

"How's it going? How's the improvement?"

"The improvement is significant. My soul power has reached level 49, and I should be able to reach level 50 in about three months."

Roar—

A dragon's roar swept through the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and the two realized that Dugu Yan had completed the evolution of her martial soul.

Because Dugu Yan's martial soul was only the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, she did not become the Serpent Emperor like Dugu Bo, directly transforming into a Flood Dragon and becoming the new sub-dragon type martial soul, the Golden Scale Flood Dragon.

The Golden-Scaled Flood Dragon is a colossal dragon, comparable in strength to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and is proficient in earth-based attributes while having abandoned poison. It possesses the power to overturn an earth dragon. Its golden scales are not only beautiful but also incredibly strong defensively.

The Golden Scaled Dragon has four claws growing from its belly, a dragon's head, and a fish's tail. Its drawback is that the dragon horns on its head have not fully evolved, and it almost became a true dragon.

Her entire body was covered in golden scales, and the poison attribute was expelled during the evolution of her martial soul. Even the toxins in her soul bone were converted into soul power. It can be said that Dugu Yan will have no further dealings with poison in the future.

The dragon's head was majestic and imposing, its golden vertical pupils revealing the majesty of a true dragon. Its limbs were thick and capable of walking. In Xiao Yi's eyes, it was exactly the image of an Eastern dragon, much like the golden dragon in mythology.

Dugu Yan opened her eyes. Her martial spirit had already possessed her body, and her entire body was covered in golden scales, especially her right hand, which was thicker than her left hand.

"Huh? Yan Yan, is your right hand some kind of secret technique called Dragon Transformation?"

Dugu Bo had a sharp eye; Dugu Yan's left arm clearly resembled a dragon's arm. He had seen the dragon arm of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex in its dragon form, and Dugu Yan's was exactly the same as theirs.

"It seems so. My right hand has transformed into a dragon claw, probably because my right arm absorbed a soul bone. I can feel that the power in my right arm has doubled, and the poison attribute is gone. Moreover, my soul power has now reached level 40, but I don't know the exact level until I absorb a soul ring."

Dugu Yan looked at her right hand and found that her strength had increased, and even her poison skills were gone, as if they had been rejected by her new martial soul. This made her extremely happy. To be honest, if her martial soul wasn't poison-attribute, how could a girl like her deal with poison all day long? Now that the poison was gone, it meant she could become a power-attack type.

"Haha, what a joyous occasion! It's even more powerful than the dragon transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan. It seems we'll have to revise the soul beasts we prepare for Yan Yan in the future."

Dugu Bo was also delighted to hear Dugu Yan's words. Because his martial soul was a snake, he had always been severely suppressed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, unable to unleash even 70% of his strength. Now, both grandfather and granddaughter's martial souls had evolved to the same level as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Dugu Yan's martial soul was even slightly stronger. However, they couldn't let outsiders know for now, as martial soul evolution was no small matter. Otherwise, powerful forces would definitely try every means to uncover the secret of martial soul evolution. (Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School: You might as well just say my name.)

"By the way, Xiao boy, what are your plans for the future?" Dugu Bo asked, looking at Xiao Yi.

"I plan to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to participate in the Soul Master Competition a few years from now. Senior Dugu should have some connections in this regard, right?"

"The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is specifically for nobles. I can talk to Prince Xue Xing about it and let you enroll. But how do you explain your soul power level and soul rings?" Dugu Bo asked.

At the age of thirteen, Xiao Yi's cultivation level, which was close to that of a Soul King, was unprecedented on the continent. Moreover, Xiao Yi's Soul Ring configuration was also unique on the continent. No wonder Dugu Bo was so cautious.

"My martial spirit makes it impossible for others to see through my cultivation level, and as for my spirit rings, my rings can be disguised, so I can directly reveal my Soul Venerable level cultivation level."

Dugu Bo agreed, saying that if that was the case, there was no need to worry.

"I remember there was a Tyrannosaurus Rex with golden dragon blood in Sunset Forest, but that soul beast was seven thousand years old. I don't know if Yan Yan can absorb it."

"Dugu Yan currently possesses a 50,000-year-old soul bone and has consumed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which she can absorb given her physical constitution."

"Let's go then."

After saying that, Dugu Bo left with Dugu Yan, and Xiao Yi activated his external soul bone and followed.

A normal Soul Master's fourth Soul Ring is around 5,000 years old, with most reaching 4,500 years. There are very few monsters like Xiao Yi whose fourth Soul Ring is 20,000 years old.

Half an hour later, Dugu Bo and his two companions arrived at the Tyrannosaurus Rex's lair.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was feeding at the time, and it noticed the arrival of Xiao Yi and his companions.

"roar!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex roared angrily upon seeing the three, clearly annoyed that they had disturbed its mood.
