Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 108 Martial Soul Evolution, Acacia Flower of Immortality

"not good!"

Ji Wuming looked at Dugu Yan, who was absorbing the torso bones of the Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede, and his expression turned solemn.

He immediately summoned the Blood Thunder Spear. With a thought, the phantom of a blood dragon, which had been coiled on the spear shaft, detached from the spear and hovered above Dugu Yan's head, its bloodthirsty aura dissipating.

The blood energy quickly adhered to the surface of the Rock Domain Poisonous Dragon, and was absorbed by the dragon in a relatively gentle way, gradually repairing the cracks that had appeared inside and outside its body.

"That's all I can do for you, little sister. You must pull through."

After the events in the City of Slaughter, Ji Wuming's Blood Thunder Spear Martial Soul underwent further changes. The Martial Soul not only gained the ability to devour blood and the remnants of soul beasts, but the Blood Dragon sealed within it could also provide some auxiliary support to other soul masters.

However, the drawback is also obvious: it consumes the innate killing intent condensed within the martial soul.

At this moment, Dugu Yan, who was in her sea of ​​consciousness, had collapsed on the blue surface of her sea of ​​consciousness, exhausted, under the continuous attack of the Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede.

However, just as the Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede was preparing to launch its final attack, completely destroying Dugu Yan and attempting to possess her body, a powerful surge of red energy blasted it away.

In an instant, Dugu Yan felt incredibly relaxed. Even her injuries were being healed by a continuous stream of warmth. She stood up, clenched her fists, and, utilizing the innate advantage within her spiritual sea, attacked the injured Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede.

"A dead dragon centipede dares to kill me on my territory? You're asking for death."

Dugu Yan's speed and strength suddenly increased two to three times. At this moment, she was like a humanoid venomous dragon from the Rock Domain, and she punched the seventh soft joint of the Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede.

"You dared to bully me, you bullied me...!"

Dugu Yan's punches became faster and faster, almost like afterimages.

"boom--"

The fist pierced directly through the Nine-Section Dragon Centipede's body. The Nine-Headed Dragon Centipede roared to the sky, then its entire body collapsed heavily, transforming into countless streams of light red energy that flowed into Dugu Yan's body.

From the inside out, the light red torso bones began to merge into Dugu Yan's body, while the Rock Domain Poisonous Flood Dragon Martial Soul horns that had been coiled around her from bottom to top grew even thicker, and her earth-brown dragon scales became even more translucent.

The dragon, shaped like a long ox, stood behind Dugu Yan, its five fingers touching the ground, its head raised.

"roar--"

With a long roar, the students in the entire dormitory were instantly awakened by the sudden dragon's roar.

As the Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede's torso completely disappeared into his body, Dugu jumped up excitedly.

"My martial spirit has finally completed the final step of evolution, just like my grandfather's."

"Little sister, don't get so excited. This is to be expected. There's only one step between a jiao and a dragon. After absorbing an extremely powerful sub-dragon attribute soul bone, it's only natural that you would successfully transform into a dragon."

Ji Wuming pointed curiously to Dugu Yan's chest and asked, "Little sister, what kind of soul bone skill did this torso bone give you? Is it very powerful?"

Dugu Yan put her hands on her hips, feigning a mysterious and confident demeanor.

"It is indeed very powerful. It can be said that the effect of the soul bone is the most suitable for me. As for the specific effects of the soul bone, I will show you in the future when I have the opportunity. I will keep it a secret for now."

"Whatever, you kept the body and soul bone I finally obtained a secret from me. It's truly disheartening that a woman, even as she grows up, doesn't confide in her future husband!"

Upon hearing Ji Wuming's words, Dugu Yan's cheeks instantly turned red, and her heart pounded even harder.

He actually took the initiative to say that he was my husband. Does this mean he'll propose to me soon, and then we'll get married? At that moment…

The more she imagined the future, the more embarrassed she became, and she said with extreme shyness,

"What are you saying? She's not going to marry you."

Just then, Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul automatically appeared above her head. The light blue petals began to wither, and the phantom images of nine more vibrant red and white petals appeared and disappeared, gradually transforming into visible phantom images.

The yellow stamens have also transformed into a new appearance with white stems and red tips.

"boom--"

A surge of red soul energy suddenly spread outwards, causing the curtains to flutter and the closed windows to shake. Only when the outward-spreading soul energy fluctuations disappeared did the dormitory return to calm.

"I feel like a shackle hidden within me has been completely broken. Does this mean the curse on my clan's martial soul has been completely eradicated? Will my loved ones be able to live to the end of their lives?"

Ye Lingling was extremely emotional. She threw herself into Ji Wuming's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Ling, you've crossed the line!"

Dugu Yan watched Ye Lingling's actions, her eyes gleaming with murderous intent. Although Ye Lingling was her close friend, this behavior was inhumane. One more was acceptable, but two more wouldn't be so bad either.

So far, Dugu Yan has only hugged Ji Wuming a few times, while her best friend Ye Lingling has done so directly.

"Yan, don't be so reluctant. There are no secrets between us. Everything about you is mine, and everything about me is yours."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuming was deeply shocked. What was all this about? What had these two women done while he was away?

He quickly pushed Ye Lingling away and told her his reasoning.

"Lingling, judging from the current state of your martial soul evolution, your martial soul no longer belongs to the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, so naturally it is no longer cursed by the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul."

The latest novel is first published here!

"That's good too. At least my mother won't die for my descendants in the future."

Ye Lingling was already quite satisfied with this; the most important matter that had been weighing on her mind could finally be resolved.

Seeing that Ye Lingling wasn't discouraged by his words, Ji Wuming immediately said,

"Lingling, your martial soul has now evolved, and the name of the cursed Nine Heart Begonia should be changed. How about calling it Love Longevity Flower, symbolizing eternal life?"

"Lovesickness? Immortal Flower, the meaning behind this martial soul name is very auspicious."

In front of Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling took Ji Wuming's right hand without any hesitation, and was very satisfied with the name of her martial soul.

Not to be outdone, Dugu Yan immediately took Ji Wuming's left hand, and the two women smiled at each other.

Seeing this, Ji Wuming was about to break free when...

"You dare?"

The two women glared at him fiercely, which left him feeling helpless, though he was secretly delighted.

"Lingling, after your martial soul evolved, have your soul skills changed? Now that you're level 40, have you chosen your soul rings?"

"Forehead--"

Ye Lingling thought for a long time, then shook her head and said, "My first three soul skills are still healing, without any special changes. However, if I were to heal a seriously injured soul master, the healing time and soul power required would be reduced by half compared to before."

"And I don't know what kind of soul beast to get. I should probably choose a soul beast with healing or life attributes."
