Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 46 Heading to Thunder Canyon

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo, standing inside the Dugu Yan Sand Domain, was smiling broadly, a small handful of flying sand rubbing in his hand.

"Yan Yan's first soul skill is quite effective. The flying sand contains the exhilarating effect of her previous first soul skill, Red Mist. However, this exhilaration has been replaced with a weakening effect, which is unfortunately halved to only ten percent of its original value!"

"I wonder how young Master Ji will handle this?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that Ji Wuming still hadn't made a move, Dugu Yan grew impatient.

"Second Soul Skill, Earth Wave Mud Swamp."

The surrounding ground began to soften, rolling like waves, and a patch of green water appeared on the surface of the swamp.

However, the second soul skill, which was supposed to slow down Ji Wuming and paralyze him, had no effect whatsoever. Ji Wuming ran on top of it as if it were flat ground.

Enraged, Dugu Yan stomped her feet and said resentfully, "Are you going to attack or not? All you do is run away!"

However, the very next second after she finished speaking, Ji Wuming had already figured out her first and second soul skills, and immediately used her first soul skill, Battle Spear Dragon Transformation.

Wielding the Blood Thunder Spear in his hand, he rushed swiftly towards Dugu Yan inside the Sand Domain.

"Don't worry, little brother, this competition will be over soon! If you get hurt, I'll personally apply medicine for you, and by the way..."

Dugu Yan's mind raced, and she immediately mobilized her soul power to unleash her first soul skill once more. The flying sand became even denser and more swift.

"Pfft—"

Ji Wuming's clothes were torn all over by tiny grains of sand. Knowing she hadn't heard a sound, Dugu Yan jumped up excitedly, happy for her victory.

Little did they know that in the next second, a chilling aura swept over them, and the blade of the spear was pressed directly against Dugu Yan's neck. Ji Wuming said calmly,

"You lost!"

"How is this possible? My sand poison has no effect on you?"

As the sands cleared, Dugu Yan turned around and looked at Ji Wuming behind her, her expression even more surprised.

"You're cheating! You must have been wearing protective armor beforehand. My Sand Domain can cut through even clothes, so why can't it hurt your exposed skin!"

"Grandpa, this isn't fair!"

Dugu Yan ran to Dugu Bo's side, grabbed his right hand, and said with great indignation.

Dugu Bo smiled and looked at his granddaughter, who was acting coquettishly towards him, "Yanyan, this kid isn't wearing any defensive armor, so you lost."

However, Dugu Bo was even more curious about Ji Wuming at this moment. Under his observation, Ji Wuming was able to defeat Yan Yan, who had two spirit rings, without using any spirit ring skills. How did he do that?

"Kid, do you have a second martial soul? Or do you possess a soul bone with a decent soul skill?"

Ji Wuming immediately addressed Dugu Bo's concerns.

"Senior, I don't have a second martial soul! Although my skin became a bit whiter when my martial soul evolved, its roughness didn't change at all. This is the result of my years of body training."

"Miss Dugu Yan's first and second soul skills are quite good, but what I cultivate is a basic leg technique, coupled with my rough skin that's different from ordinary people, so a little bit of flying sand and mud can't cause me any real harm!"

"I see. I didn't know you practiced other techniques in your spare time while cultivating your martial spirit. Not bad!"

Dugu Bo was increasingly unable to understand the young man in front of him. Not only did the young man have a very detailed understanding of martial soul research, but he also had two other skills that were comparable to self-created soul skills.

Is this the kind of Soul Master that Seagod Island can train?

"Little sister, your martial spirit has evolved now; you shouldn't be called the Azure Phosphorous Serpent anymore!"

Although Ji Wuming won, Dugu Yan was quite disgusted by him calling her "little sister". He could have just called her Yan Yan, why did he have to call her "little sister"?

However, what he said made a lot of sense. This dragon-type martial soul should be renamed. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and looked at Ji Wuming.

"Brother Ji, why don't you help me choose one?"

Ji Wuming pondered for a moment: "Since your martial spirit is inherited from your predecessor, let's call you the Rock Domain Poison Dragon!"

"Okay, I like this name."

Dugu Bo looked at the two children who were already playing together, put his hands behind his back, and asked with great joy,

"Yan Yan, Ji boy, you two have both reached the bottleneck of Soul Master. Tell me what kind of Soul Ring you need, and Grandpa will catch it for you."

At this moment, Dugu Yan kept glancing at Ji Wuming, completely ignoring what her grandfather was saying, until Dugu Bo coughed twice in anger, at which point Dugu Yan finally noticed him.

"I'll let Grandpa choose my third spirit ring!"

"And you, kid Ji?"

Ji Wuming looked at the curious Dugu Bo, but instead of giving him a precise answer, he gave him a general location.

"Senior, could you take me to your Thunder Canyon? I'd like to add a lightning attribute spirit ring to my fourth spirit ring, but I haven't decided on a specific spirit beast yet."

In fact, Ji Wuming had already decided on the soul beast he would choose for his fourth soul ring—the Thunderous Hell Vine. Thunder Canyon, filled with violent lightning power, was the most suitable place for lightning-attribute soul beasts to cultivate, and the Thunderous Hell Vine must have been found there.

Besides, Thunder Canyon is also one of the best places for him to temper his body. If he can absorb the soul ring of the Thunder Hell Vine, coupled with his indestructible body, then he will be even more confident in tempering his body with lightning.

However, he didn't know whether the Thunderous Hell Vine was actually inside Thunder Canyon, or whether its age would exceed his expectations, so he didn't tell Dugu Bo about this idea.

"Thunder Canyon? That sounds like a good place!"

Dugu Bo was quite familiar with Thunder Canyon. It was a place where dark clouds covered the sun year-round, filled with thunderstorms, and even the lakes in the forest inside the canyon were tinged with wild arcs of electricity.

It is an excellent habitat for lightning-attribute soul beasts, and it is also very close to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. It can be said that Thunder Canyon is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's hunting backyard.

"Grandpa, let's hurry over to Thunder Canyon!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Alright, there are some sub-dragon spirit beasts in Thunder Canyon, which should be suitable as your third spirit ring!"

Immediately, Dugu Bo led the two eastward, explaining in detail the soul beasts scattered throughout Thunder Canyon along the way.

"Young Ji, have you decided what kind of spirit beast you need?"

He wanted to see what kind of lightning-attribute soul beast this kid would choose.

"Kid, Thunder Canyon is different from other places. Only by identifying our target as soon as possible can we save time."

…………

After traveling for a day and a night, the three arrived at a dark blue-black forest. Looking around, they saw many trees bearing the marks of lightning strikes, and a strong, acrid smell of burning filled the air.

"Yan Yan, Ji boy, the thunderstorms here are extremely chaotic, and the soul beasts inside are even more ferocious! When searching for soul beasts here, be sure to stay close to me."

"good!"

Dugu Yan was vigilantly observing the changes in her surroundings, while Ji Wuming felt quite comfortable and did not experience any sense of oppression or fear.

However, just as they stepped into the area inhabited by the Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, a brownish-gray venomous python with three blue stripes on its back coiled atop a black, withered tree, its snake eyes fixed intently on the three people walking below.

"P--"

Three balls of lightning hurtled towards the three of them. Dugu Bo immediately unleashed his first soul skill, shooting a black poison ball towards them. The two energies collided and exploded, scattering several black poisonous feathers in all directions. Wherever they landed, flowers and plants withered, and trees broke branches.

The Flowing Rock Serpent, perched in the tree, realized that the soul power emanating from the green-clad human before it surpassed its own. Just as it was about to slip away,

"How could I, a Title Douluo who deliberately suppresses his soul power fluctuations, let you escape!"

"Medusa's gaze!"

Dugu Bo shot out a beam of emerald green light from his eyes, instantly petrifying the fleeing Flowing Rock Poisonous Python.

"This 1200-year-old Stream Poison Python is quite good. If we really can't find a soul beast with the bloodline of a dragon, then we can absorb the soul ring of this soul beast."

The petrification skill, originating from the head bone of Medusa, the 7-year-old serpent queen, lasts for six hours. If the skill is not dispelled during this time, the thousand-year-old serpent will inevitably die after six hours.

This time should be enough for them to choose a more suitable soul beast.
