Douluo Continent: Breaking Through the Clouds, the Qilin Marches!

Deep in the forest at sunset, towering ancient trees block out the sun.

Three full days have passed since the group stepped into this vast habitat of soul beasts.

Hunting high-level soul beasts is never a matter of following a map. In the past three days, the group encountered quite a few soul beasts, but either their age exceeded the two children's tolerance limit, or their species were too diverse and did not fit their preferred route.

However, yesterday evening, Dugu Yan's luck took a turn for the better.

Under the pressure of Dugu Bo's poison array, they successfully hunted down a Azure Scale Illusion Poison Dragon with a cultivation of approximately 950 years.

Although it is only a sub-dragon type soul beast, its bloodline purity and toxicity are among the best in the sub-dragon type.

With the help of celestial-grade elixirs, Dugu Yan successfully absorbed this second soul ring, which was nearly a thousand years old, despite the painful process.

After absorbing the energy, Dugu Yan's soul power soared to level twenty-three!

When the Martial Soul was attached to her body, the illusory image of the Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Dragon behind her became more solid. The small horn on the dragon's head had completely broken open, giving rise to a single horn as clear and bright as a sharp sword. Even the four claws on its abdomen became exceptionally sharp, and the characteristics of a dragon became more and more obvious.

"Grandpa, look at me now!"

"Second Soul Skill - Poison Dragon Transformation!"

In the forest clearing, Dugu Yan, like a green lightning bolt, nimbly darted among the tree trunks, aided by the enhancement of her physical attributes from the soul ring, leaving behind a string of silvery laughter.

"Grandpa, this soul skill is so awesome!"

"All my attributes and toxicity have increased by 30% for 5 minutes. Most importantly, the 'illusion' of this Azure Scale Illusion Poison Dragon has given my poisons a hallucinogenic and intoxicating effect during this period!"

Dugu Bo stroked his beard, looking at his granddaughter with a loving expression, his pride barely concealed.

"Yan Yan has completely transformed from a control-type to an offensive-type. Perhaps she can get her hands on the secret of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's dragon transformation," Dugu Bo couldn't help but fantasize.

Even if it's not possible now, it's not impossible when the old goat becomes a Title Douluo in the future. After all, although his grandson's martial soul wasn't a dragon when it was possessed, there must be something we can learn from it.

Then, seemingly unintentionally, he glanced at Yang Yuntian, who was leaning against a tree trunk and observing the surroundings.

"This kid, though only six years old, possesses a mind and skills that are frighteningly monstrous. Not to mention his top-tier talent, the old goat standing behind him, and his miraculous alchemy skills..."

Moreover, why is the martial soul of the grandson of the Soul Breaker clan's patriarch a Qilin?

Either his mother's talent was too extraordinary.

Or... he's even hiding his true abilities right now!

Dugu Bo secretly pondered to himself that his Dugu family had only one heir, and Yan Yan would definitely need a Daoist partner who could protect her through thick and thin. Looking across the entire Heaven Dou Empire, those so-called noble geniuses were utterly unworthy to even carry Yang Yuntian's shoes.

"Whether it's talent, temperament, or family background, this kid is the perfect candidate. Yan Yan is lively, and he is calm and composed, which complements her perfectly."

A hidden smile appeared on Dugu Bo's lips. He was a patient old hunter. Love was something that couldn't be rushed. As long as he kept the two children together for a long time, the seed would eventually take root, sprout, and grow naturally.

"There's movement coming from the southwest."

Yang Wudi suddenly spoke, interrupting Dugu Bo's reverie.

Everyone immediately concealed their presence and crept towards the sound.

Parting a dense thicket of bushes, a massive soul beast covered in thick, earthen-yellow scales came into view.

It was lying in a pit, gnawing on some kind of mineral-rich rock, with a slightly thick and blunt horn on its head.

"A one-horned earth dragon." Yang Wudi recognized the origin of this soul beast at a glance. After carefully examining the patterns on its back scales and the length of its single horn, he made an accurate judgment.

"Judging from its size and the color of its scales, it is about 1,100 years old, definitely no more than 1,200 years old."

Yang Wudi turned to look at Yang Yuntian:

"Yun Tian, ​​what do you think? Although it is just an earth dragon with a bloodline that is at the bottom of the dragon race, it has the advantage of solid strength and defense, and it is quite old. It does have some compatibility with the attributes of your companion beast martial soul."

"Although it's not the highest-grade bloodline, it's still usable."

Yang Yuntian gave his thoughts.

"Firstly, Xiao Hei's own Qilin bloodline is already strong enough. For it, the soul ring is more of a catalyst to break through the level bottleneck. It does not need to rely too much on the bloodline of the soul ring itself to enhance its martial soul."

Secondly, we've already spent three days in Sunset Forest, and this is already quite good. Continuing to search aimlessly might not lead to anything better, so we might as well keep it and secure our gains.

Just as everyone reached a consensus and Yang Wudi was preparing to suppress him, a sudden change occurred.

"Ugh—!"

The little black dog that had been perched on Yang Yuntian's shoulder suddenly let out a low growl of resistance. It bit down hard on Yang Yuntian's sleeve, and used its two hind legs to forcefully kick Yang Yuntian's shoulder, desperately pulling him in the opposite direction.

"Little Black? You don't like it?" Yang Yuntian was slightly taken aback. This was the first time Little Black had shown such strong emotional fluctuations.

Even the high-grade dragon meat that Dugu Bo had sent before, it had only picked and chosen, never resisting it like this before.

The little black dog opened its mouth, barked anxiously twice in another direction, and then jumped down and ran back the way it came without looking back!

"Has this little thing discovered some better prey?" Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise.

"Follow them and see what happens before making a decision." Yang Wudi acted with extreme decisiveness and shrewdness. He flashed and appeared above the one-horned earth dragon like a ghost. He didn't even release his martial spirit with the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand, but simply used pure soul power to smash the one-horned earth dragon's head like a heavy hammer.

With a muffled "bang!", the massive unicorn earth dragon didn't even have time to scream before its eyes rolled back and it passed out completely.

"Old Poisoner, tie it up securely and take it with you as a backup. In case that Little Black misjudged it, we can still use it when we get back."

Yang Wudi threw down a sentence, immediately picked up Yang Yuntian, and chased after Xiao Hei at full speed in the direction he disappeared.

The group followed Xiao Hei through the forest for about three minutes. The surrounding trees gradually thinned out, and the air became filled with a moist and refreshing mist.

Parting the last reeds, a small, clear lake, as green as jade, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Before anyone could check their surroundings, Xiao Hei rushed over.

"Little Black! Your drool is practically flying out! It's all your fault, Yun Tian! You've raised Little Black to be so slovenly!"

Dugu Yan muttered a complaint, really unable to understand how such a cute little thing could be so... down-to-earth?

"Um... let's go... haha... haha"

Yang Yuntian reluctantly followed.

The group followed closely behind Xiao Hei, and when they saw what was happening before them,

They were all stunned.

It was facing a turtle? And it was waving its arms and legs around like that?
