Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 85 Martial Soul Metallization

The moment Dugu Bo finished speaking, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which had just been looking down on Dugu Bo, couldn't help but show a hint of human-like seriousness in its eyes.

It could sense that after the human in front of it merged with its own Martial Soul Fusion Body, the aura of that human suddenly surged, which made it wary.

On the other side, Jiang Li, who was originally worried about Dugu Bo, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he noticed that Dugu Bo's aura had suddenly surged.

He could sense that Dugu Bo's aura was nearly 30% stronger than it had been initially, which was a significant improvement among Title Douluos.

Jiang Li could now guess that Dugu Bo had probably already revealed all his trump cards.

While Jiang Li was speculating, Dugu Bo, who was at the center of the battle, couldn't help but clench his hands, feeling the powerful energy within his body.

It should be noted that, although Dugu Bo had previously possessed the ability to transform his martial soul true form into armor.

However, the most significant improvement he gained from the previous Jade Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was Dugu Bo's control over poison attributes.

But now that his martial soul has evolved into the Golden Scale Azure Dragon, this is the first time Dugu Bo has tried this method.

After the Golden Scale Azure Dragon Martial Soul True Body transformed into armor, the most significant improvement it brought to Dugu Bo was not anything else, but the change in his physical body. First of all, his height directly broke through to two meters.

Dugu Bo felt a surge of powerful energy within him roaring, which instantly transported him to the lower level. He wanted to test his melee abilities against the dark gold dinosaur bear before him.

Having made up his mind, Dugu Bo, clad in golden scale armor, flashed to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and, without hesitation, punched it in the chest with his right fist.

This 30,000-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear was shocked to see that Dugu Bo dared to come down and fight it one-on-one.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He knew that what had been most troublesome for him was Dugu Bo's long-range attrition ability.

In close combat, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had absolute confidence. Even though the human's aura was much stronger than before, it could still make the human suffer.

Driven by confidence, the dark gold dinosaur decided to test its strength against Dugu Bo, so it clenched its fist and hurled it at Dugu Bo.

However, unlike the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's fist is truly a full meter in size. Even though Dugu Bo's height broke through to two meters after activating his Martial Soul True Body Armor, his fist still appeared somewhat miniature in front of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

But the moment their fists collided, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clearly sensed something was wrong.

Because Dugu Bo's seemingly small and weak fist contained such power that even he was momentarily unable to subdue it.

At this moment, Dugu Bo felt the increasing power on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left claw. If it were him before, he probably would have had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

However, his current martial soul is the Golden Scale Azure Dragon, which provides him with considerable power, enough to give him a fighting chance against opponents of the same rank.

Next, Dugu Bo faced the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which had already exerted all its strength. A hint of mockery appeared in his eyes, but he did not retreat in the slightest.

Seeing this, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's anger intensified, and it used almost all its strength to prove itself in this simple contest of power.

A moment later, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had already come to a conclusion: after this human used his trump card, it was impossible for him to overpower his opponent in terms of physical strength.

So he gritted his teeth and decided to put aside his racial pride for now and just focus on defeating this damned human.

The next instant, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear suddenly gathered power in its right claw, and in a flash, five dark gold beams of light attacked Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo quickly dodged the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's sneak attack, and his fifth spirit ring shone brightly beneath his feet.

Fifth Soul Skill: Flood Dragon Scale Heavenly Shield!

Immediately afterwards, dozens of golden scales quickly condensed into a shield, helping Dugu Bo block the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's sneak attack.

Seeing his fifth soul skill almost shattered, Dugu Bo couldn't help but curse at the beast, while also being shocked by the terrifying power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's claws.

After all, they were just having a proper strength contest, and this beast actually abandoned all martial ethics and chose to launch a sneak attack.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo continued to use his ranged soul skills to wear down his opponent and add poison to him.

Because he also knew that it was almost impossible to defeat this thick-skinned Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with physical strength alone.

However, after a while, due to the effects of Dugu Bo's toxin, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear felt its limbs becoming increasingly weak.

This made the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out another furious roar full of killing intent, but due to its speed, it was unable to escape. Most importantly, it felt as if it had been poisoned.

Finally, as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear felt its injuries worsening and the poison gradually clouding its mind, it could no longer resist the urge to retreat.

But Dugu Bo wouldn't give him that chance. After dodging, he charged straight at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

When the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear saw that Dugu Bo still dared to come over, a hint of human-like triumph in its eyes appeared.

The next instant, just as Dugu Bo was about to land a punch, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear gathered the power of its claws, and ten terrifying beams of light slashed straight at Dugu Bo, which made the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear reveal a hint of smugness in its eyes.

It knew very well that even in its current state, the human before it would not be able to escape unscathed from its claw attack.

But Dugu Bo sneered at him.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Foolish beast, would I have come here without some tricks up my sleeve? Eighth Soul Skill: Time Freeze! Soul Bone Skill: Medusa's Gaze"

As the eighth spirit ring beneath Dugu Bo's feet shone, the dark golden light that was about to turn towards him paused for a moment. After Dugu Bo activated his spirit bone skill, the dark golden dinosaur was immobilized in place.

In that instant, Dugu Bo quickly moved to a new position and used his strongest ninth soul skill on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Azure Scale Divine Light!"

When this terrifying cyan energy pierced through the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body, the over nine-meter-tall creature crashed to the ground, and its aura gradually dissipated.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Li rushed over. On his way, Dugu Bo sent him a message urging him to hurry over.

Before long, when Jiang Li arrived, he sensed that the aura on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was about to dissipate. Without even having time to greet Dugu Bo, he directly used two fingers together to draw a few sword energies towards the location of the poison, ending its life.

A moment later, as a jet-black spirit ring rose, Jiang Li sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit ring, having already absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring once before.

In addition, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan is relatively weak in terms of mental strength, so Jiang Li only spent five hours absorbing the soul ring this time.

Immediately afterward, when Jiang Li stood up and experienced his fifth soul skill, his face was filled with barely suppressed joy.

Dugu Bo had also adjusted his state of mind and looked at Jiang Li with curiosity.

"Xiao Li, what is your fifth soul skill?"

Jiang Li made no attempt to hide this, as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring beneath his feet shone brightly.

A blue silver grass, as tall as a person, suddenly appeared. In just a moment, the leaves of that blue silver grass turned dark gold and its whole body radiated a metallic light.

Jiang Li then began to explain.

"My fifth soul skill is called: Blue Silver Gilded Transformation. Its function is to give my Blue Silver Grass martial soul the ability to become metallic. Furthermore, the metallic Blue Silver Grass will also have the terrifying defensive power of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear and the sharpness of its claws."

After hearing Jiang Li's explanation, Dugu Bo was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't help but try it himself and found it quite difficult to break off a single leaf. Looking at the exceptionally hard metallic Blue Silver Grass, he couldn't help but speak.

"This... can this thing still be called Blue Silver Grass?"
