Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 45 Little brother, your big sister will take good care of you!

Inside a magnificent, golden bedroom within the Papal Palace, a woman dressed in a pink, sheer gown lay on a large bed. A gentle breeze wafted in from outside, revealing her alluring figure in the small space occupied by five other people—a sight to behold.

The woman sleeping soundly in bed suddenly sat bolt upright, a continuous, hollow echoing sound filling her mind. She immediately issued a command.

"Send word to the two elders, instructing them to keep a close eye on any genius Soul Masters emerging on the continent."

"What kind of being could evoke both joy and fear in even the Rakshasa god?"

However, Bibi Dong paid more attention to this matter, as her Rakshasa God Trial was the most crucial thing at the moment.

Sunset Forest, the Eye of Ice and Fire

At this moment, Ji Wuming withdrew his final spear move, feeling extremely satisfied with his current strength.

Dugu Bo walked towards him, carefully examining the completely transformed Ji Wuming before him.

"Boy, although I don't know what herbs you've consumed, judging from your current soul power fluctuations, you've reached level 40, haven't you?"

"That's right, senior. I've eaten two of the most suitable immortal herbs for me. Now I only need to obtain one soul ring to break through to the Soul Master level."

For Ji Wuming, breaking through to the Soul Master level was a minor matter. Thanks to the modifications from the Qiluo Tulip and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, his soul power could potentially increase by at least five or six levels. However, since he hadn't added any soul rings, the subsequent increase in soul power wouldn't be apparent.

In addition, under the evolution of the Qiluo Tulip, his Blood Thunder Spear can not only transform into a weapon spirit beast, but also grant him a spirit talent domain after the spirit evolution.

Ji Wuming named this domain "Emperor Killing." Under this domain, all enemies' attributes decrease by 20%, while his own attributes increase by 30%. The bloodthirsty aura can also be transformed into a continuous source of soul power, allowing him to fight continuously within the domain without waning energy or exhaustion.

Although the current Emperor-Slaying Domain is slightly stronger than the Killing Domain that the little bastard will obtain in the future.

However, it's worth noting that a third-level innate spear spirit possessed a talent domain before even becoming a titled Douluo, which means he had already surpassed the vast majority of spirit masters. Not to mention, the domain can evolve as the spirit master grows.

"Just as I expected, the medicinal herbs here are extremely beneficial to young people!"

At this moment, Dugu Bo looked at the storage bag on the inside of Ji Wuming's right waist and began to regret it. He really shouldn't have allowed him to take all the herbs in his herb garden. He should have left a few more. However, since he had already made the promise, it would be a breach of his promise to ask for them back.

Ji Wuming looked at Dugu Bo, who was deep in thought, and then glanced with slight worry at the thatched hut not far away.

"Senior, if you don't stay by your granddaughter's side, what if something happens to Miss Dugu Yan...?"

"It's alright. I have already personally consumed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon before. This kind of rare flower and herb is extremely suitable for snake-type martial souls. During the evolution of this martial soul, not only will you not feel pain, but your body will also feel very comfortable."

Dugu Bo had some concerns before, but after his own martial soul evolution, he no longer needed to worry about Dugu Yan's martial soul evolution.

However, after they had only exchanged a few words, a roar that was neither dragon nor snake came from inside the house. The sound seemed to pierce through the sky and was extremely loud.

Dugu Yan rushed out of the house, her snow-white skin and graceful figure causing others to flutter in their hearts. She excitedly hugged Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa, not only has the poison in my body been cured, but my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has also evolved. Even more gratifying is that my soul power has directly increased by four levels, reaching the bottleneck of level 30 soul power."

However, after delivering the good news, Dugu Yan asked with some disappointment,

"But why is my martial spirit different from your Ink Domain Poison Dragon, Grandpa?"

Before Dugu Bo could even speak, Dugu Yan eagerly summoned her martial spirit, and a brownish-yellow phantom appeared behind her.

Four toes, a pair of thick hind legs, a body covered in brownish-yellow scales, two fleshy bulges on its head, and a martial spirit that is neither snake nor dragon, yet gives people a sense of dignified holiness.

"this?"

At this moment, Dugu Bo didn't know what was going on. Why was his granddaughter's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul only half-evolved compared to his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor? Moreover, even the color of her Martial Soul was completely different from his.

Dugu Bo turned his head to look at Ji Wuming with a puzzled expression. After carefully observing the martial spirit behind Dugu Yan, Ji Wuming came to a conclusion.

"Miss Dugu Yan, your martial soul is merely the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, while your senior's martial soul is the King of Serpents. Therefore, after your martial soul evolves, it can only become a Jiaolong (a type of dragon-like creature), and cannot transform into a dragon for the time being?"

"Jiao? What kind of martial soul is that?"

Dugu Yan stared wide-eyed and asked in confusion.

"With four toes, only hind legs, no dragon horns, and a body resembling a snake, it is called a Jiao. The Jiao is the predecessor of the dragon. If it evolves again, it can complete the process of transforming into a dragon."

Dugu Yan nodded slightly as she listened to the fact that she had never touched upon this area of ​​knowledge, and felt even more certain of Ji Wuming in front of her.

"If you want to complete the process of transforming into a dragon, you can try to absorb a soul ring with the bloodline of a dragon in the future. As for the color of your martial soul, it is a sign that the toxins in your body have been completely cleared. Now your martial soul is more inclined to the earth attribute of the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo sensed something was wrong. His granddaughter possessed two spirit rings, one containing red poison and the other green poison. If the toxins in her body were completely removed, wouldn't those two spirit rings become useless? Dugu Bo hurriedly asked this question.

"Without the poison, does that mean your first and second soul skills are useless, Yan Yan?"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Grandpa, you're mistaken. My first and second soul skills have changed, and their power has increased considerably!"

Dugu Yan glanced at Dugu Bo, then turned to look at Ji Wuming. Wan'er smiled.

"Little brother, please do me a test. I'll take good care of you!"

"First Soul Skill, Crimson Sand Domain!"

A large amount of reddish-brown sand blasted towards Ji Wuming. He reacted quickly and retreated, escaping the area filled with sand.

"Miss Dugu Yan, I'm a year older than you. It wouldn't be good to mix up the generations!"

"There's nothing wrong with that. If you can defeat me in my area of ​​expertise—control—I can grant you one request, and even..."

Dugu Yan stopped speaking halfway through her sentence, and at that moment she was already inside her first soul skill, the Crimson Sand Domain.

Just as he was about to swing his spear and use his strongest defensive soul skill, he suddenly abandoned the idea. His self-created soul skill was his strongest trump card and could not be revealed.

Ji Wuming used the Wave-Treading Mountain and Sea Steps to frequently search for weaknesses on the outer edge of the Crimson Sand Domain, and kept probing the subsequent changes in Dugu Yan's soul skills.

"Little brother, you're about to lose!"

Dugu Yan was also somewhat angry when she saw Ji Wuming circling around the outer edge of the sand domain and refusing to attack.
