Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Heavenly Dou City, Butterfly House.

The laboratory was quiet, with only the occasional clinking of glassware.

Lin Yang sat in front of the lab bench, with several test tubes in front of him, each containing a different medicine.

With his clear view of the world, he could clearly see that these test tubes were now like a battlefield, engaged in a fierce battle.

A tiny, extremely faint crimson hue, carrying an overwhelmingly aggressive quality, was slowly spreading within the potion.

The originally stable energy of the drug was rapidly consumed, transformed, and assimilated, eventually gradually acquiring the same color.

That crimson hue was his blood diluted a hundredfold.

Lin Yang withdrew his gaze and quickly scribbled down notes with his right hand, recording the changes during the experiment.

After his second awakening, the changes in his demonic body were even more profound than he had imagined.

It's not just the improvement in perception, strength, or even resistance to ice and fire; even the domineering assimilation ability in his blood is several times stronger than before.

In other words, in terms of pure blood purity alone, even Muzan Kibutsuji would be considered a junior among juniors in comparison.

However, his blood is also a treasure in some ways. As long as we can find a way to neutralize that assimilative ability, it is equivalent to an alternative kind of immortal herb.

Thanks to Dugu Bo's herb garden, the wide variety of herbs gave him more opportunities to experiment.

As he was thinking, there was a knock on the laboratory door.

"Teacher," Catherine's voice came through the phone.

"A young lady surnamed Dugu said she came to see you."

Lin Yang snapped out of his daze, responded, then collected all the test tubes in front of him and left the laboratory.

In the courtyard, Lin Yang met Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan hadn't changed much from before; she still had that tall figure and a slightly languid and charming demeanor.

But in Lin Yang's eyes, it was completely different. The most obvious thing was that she no longer had the fishy sweetness of poison, but had a faint dragon's might.

The effects of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon have not yet been fully realized. Even if she cannot transform into a dragon after being fully digested, her martial soul quality will still be considered top-tier among sub-dragons.

"Brother Lin Yang, we meet again."

Upon seeing Lin Yang appear, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up instantly, a strange light flashing in her alluring eyes.

She never imagined that a careless act a few days ago would directly change the fate of her and her grandfather.

It was only when her grandfather made her take the earth dragon golden melon that she understood everything that had happened to her.

Only then did she realize that what she had been carrying all along was her grandfather's lifelong guilt and love.

If it weren't for Lin Yang, she might have been poisoned and died in front of her grandfather someday.

She didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Therefore, Lin Yang was not only the one who detoxified her, but also her and her grandfather's savior.

She had always been somewhat interested in Lin Yang, who was a few years younger than her but whose cultivation was much higher.

Now, with the added filter of "lifesaver," this curiosity is undoubtedly even stronger.

Lin Yang nodded slightly, not paying attention to Dugu Yan's form of address, and asked,

"The senior said that you've been consolidating your cultivation these past few days. I wonder how you're feeling now?"

"It feels great!"

As she spoke, Dugu Yan directly activated her martial spirit, and two yellow spirit rings quietly rose from beneath her feet.

The slender snake tail swayed gently behind it, exuding both elegance and danger.

What is most striking is that her originally slender and fair arms are now covered with a layer of fine and firm emerald green scales.

These scales extend from the forearm all the way to the palm, with the five fingers slightly bent, resembling dragon claws.

It has claws but no horns; it is called a jiao (蛟).

In retrospect, it seems quite fitting that Dugu Yan called her martial spirit "Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Dragon".

"Senior should choose spirit rings that are more like poison-type dragons or spirit beasts with dragon blood. This will help her spirit grow, and she may be able to transform into a dragon in the future."

Dugu Yan withdrew her martial spirit, nodded, and blinked.

"Just like Grandpa said, this time when I'm hunting souls, I'm counting on you, Lin Yang, to protect me."

Lin Yang nodded helplessly.

Three days ago, Dugu Bo made a condition to him: that he take Dugu Yan to obtain the third soul ring.

At the time, he was a little puzzled. Finding a suitable thousand-year-old soul beast was just a piece of cake for a Title Douluo.

Why would he need to lead Dugu Yan to hunt souls?

However, the old poisoner was quite self-righteous and argued that he was currently in seclusion and didn't have time to go, so he handed the task over to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang didn't believe a word Dugu Bo said, but then he thought about it...

He had already gained quite a bit from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and taking Dugu Yan to find a third soul ring wasn't a difficult task.

Since it was just one trip anyway, he simply agreed.

And that is why Dugu Yan came to visit today.

The two did not linger too long at the Butterfly House. After tidying up briefly, they drove their carriage towards the outskirts of Tiandou City.

On their journey out of the city, they encountered no obstacles, for the emblem of the Azure Serpent on their carriage served as their best pass.

Lin Yang and Dugu Yan's goal is Sunset Forest.

As the largest gathering group of soul beasts near Heaven Dou City, the overall quality of the soul beasts is not as good as that of Star Dou Great Forest, but it is more than enough to help Dugu Yan obtain a suitable third soul ring.

This time, it was just the two of them hunting souls, but there was no worry in their eyes. Instead, they seemed relaxed, like they were going on a trip.

Lin Yang's confidence was based on his own abilities.

Dugu Yan, on the other hand, was eager to try.

She wanted to test the power of the Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Dragon Martial Soul and see how much her combat ability had improved.

Upon arriving at Sunset Forest, the two exchanged a glance, and with a leap, they disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

At that moment, about five miles behind the two, a dark green figure hid behind a large tree, talking to himself.

"Yan Yan has been talking a lot more when she's with that boy, but she needs to be more vigilant."

Thinking of the "gift" he had prepared, Dugu Bo's smile deepened.

Ahead, led by Lin Yang, Dugu Yan plunged straight into the depths of Sunset Forest, a place where thousand-year-old soul beasts generally gather.

However, finding a suitable soul ring for Dugu Yan will still require some effort.

As expected, the two did not succeed on the first day.

In fact, they also unintentionally encountered a 1,500-year-old purple viper.

Before her martial soul evolved, this purple viper would indeed have been suitable for Dugu Yan.

Now, not to mention Lin Yang, even Dugu Yan looks down on him.

So this purple viper was lucky enough to escape with its life.

As night fell, the two found an open space, set up camp, and lit a campfire.

Dugu Yan sat by the fire, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Lin Yang roast meat.

Lin Yang would occasionally flip the meat over and brush on a layer of his secret sauce, instantly filling the air with its aroma, which made her mouth water.

After baking, Lin Yang handed one of the pieces to Dugu Yan: "Want to try some?"

"good!"

Dugu Yan wasn't a pretentious girl. She took the roasted meat, took a bite, and savored its rich aroma.

"tasty!"

Her eyes were curved, and there was a little oil on the corner of her mouth, but it did not diminish her charm; instead, it added a touch of everyday life to her.

Lin Yang smiled and also took a bite of his own piece.

The firelight illuminated the two of them, creating a perfect atmosphere.

At that moment, a certain Title Douluo hiding in the shadows clicked his tongue in displeasure!
