Third Soul Skill: Golden Tyrant Dragon Transformation!

The night was dark, and a bright full moon hung high in the sky, its watery light spilling down.

In the Soul Hunting Forest.

After seeing Gu Han absorb the Tyrant Dragon's soul ring and obtain an External Soul Bone.

Even Bibi Dong could not help but flash a trace of envy in her beautiful eyes. Yet she still maintained the Pope's calmness and authority. Her red lips parted as she softly asked, "Xiao Han, take a look at your soul skill."

"Alright, Teacher."

At her words, Gu Han gave a low shout and switched his Sacred Dragon Martial Soul into martial soul form. It turned into a Golden Stream of Light and entered his body, placing him in the Martial Soul Possession state.

After possessing his martial soul, Gu Han's body immediately grew taller and became even more burly and powerful. Golden Dragon Scales covered his entire body, his hands turned into Dragon Claws, his eyes became Golden Vertical Pupils, and a pair of backward-curving Dragon Horns sprouted from his head.

He seemed to have turned into a Half-Dragon Human.

Beneath his feet, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—slowly rose.

Immediately afterward, Gu Han activated his newly acquired Third Soul Skill.

As the third soul ring circling his body suddenly lit up, a fierce surge of Soul Power erupted. Dazzling gray-black light tinged with blood-red burst violently from within him.

Under that gray-black radiance, Gu Han's aura abruptly soared. The Golden Dragon Scales covering his body were dyed gray-black with a crimson tinge, his frame grew taller once again, and his muscles swelled further, making him even more towering and robust.

A ferocious, domineering aura also emanated from him.

"This should be an enhancement-type soul skill!"

At the side, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan nodded upon seeing Gu Han's transformation and sensing his surging aura. In his effeminate voice, he stated with certainty.

"But Xiao Han, how great an enhancement can this soul skill give you?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan asked curiously.

"Generally speaking, when a soul master with a top-tier Beast Martial Soul absorbs a five-thousand-year soul ring and gains an enhancement soul skill, it can provide a threefold increase in all aspects of physical ability."

"Since your Sacred Dragon Martial Soul has evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon, a True Dragon Martial Soul capable of rivaling the Six-Winged Angel, and the soul ring you absorbed came from a top-tier Sub-Dragon Species Soul Beast like the Tyrant Dragon..."

"The effects of your Third Soul Skill should be even stronger."

In response to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's question, Gu Han closed his eyes and received some basic information relayed by the third soul ring after he activated the skill.

Soul masters absorbed soul rings and obtained soul skills.

This was one of the laws of the Douluo Continent plane.

It was like playing a game, where a character's skills came with skill descriptions.

Generally speaking, after absorbing a soul ring, when a soul master activated a soul skill, the soul ring would relay some information about the skill, especially for soul skills with more complicated effects.

After receiving the information about his Third Soul Skill, Gu Han could not help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.

According to the information relayed by the soul ring, his Third Soul Skill could give him a fivefold increase in strength and a fourfold increase in all other aspects of physical ability.

In addition, it came with an Overlord Body effect.

It made him immune to the control and negative effects of all energy-based control-type soul skills.

However, after considering the effects of his soul skill, Gu Han decided to conceal part of them.

After all, one had to keep some trump cards in reserve, didn't they?

Thus, after slowly opening his eyes, Gu Han clenched his fist before him. A faint smile appeared on his flawless, handsome face as he said.

"Elder Ju, my Third Soul Skill gives me a fourfold increase in all aspects of physical ability, and it lasts for two hours."

"Fourfold? That's the effect of a ten-thousand-year enhancement soul skill!"

"This Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul truly deserves its reputation as a powerful martial soul capable of rivaling the Six-Winged Angel. Even soul skills produced by soul rings of the same age are twice as effective."

Upon learning that it was a fourfold increase across all aspects of physical ability, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan could not help but feel envious and astonished. Though it was only one extra multiple, that was equivalent to an additional five thousand years of cultivation.

Since the Third Soul Skill came from the Tyrant Dragon and also possessed the Overlord Body effect.

Gu Han named it: Golden Tyrant Dragon Transformation!

After successfully helping Gu Han hunt his third soul ring.

The next day, Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei prepared to return to Spirit City with Gu Han.

On the way back.

Now that his cultivation had reached the Soul Elder rank, Gu Han had always planned to find a way to leave Spirit City and venture out once he became a Soul Ancestor.

And if he was going to venture out, there was one opportunity he absolutely had to seize.

That was Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—or, more precisely, the Immortal Herbs growing around it.

As for the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Since he had read the original novel and watched the anime in his previous life, Gu Han roughly knew the appearance of some Immortal Herbs, such as the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

But Gu Han only knew about the Immortal Herbs described in the novel.

He had no idea exactly how many Immortal Herbs grew around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, new Immortal Herbs appeared in the later installments of the series.

This showed that there should be more Immortal Herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well than the few mentioned in the novel.

For that, Gu Han needed to be able to identify every Immortal Herb.

And according to the novel, Gu Han remembered that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan knew about Immortal Herbs.

Moreover, he had heard from his classmate Yue Kong that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Family, the Yue Family, had studied flowers and plants for generations, and that the family possessed many books recording various rare flora.

Among them, there might very well be books that recorded Immortal Herbs.

Thus, on the way back, Gu Han smiled and said to Yue Guan.

"Elder Ju, I heard that you have many books in your Botanical Collection. I've already read nearly all the books in the library and the Archives. When I have time, may I visit your residence and look through your Botanical Collection?"

"Of course. My residence will always welcome Xiao Han's visit."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was rather surprised that Gu Han was interested in his books on flowers and plants, but he smiled effeminately and agreed without hesitation.

As someone who dearly loved flowers and plants, Chrysanthemum Douluo had always hoped to find someone with whom he could discuss this hobby, since it was exceedingly rare on the Douluo Continent.

Since Gu Han was interested, he was naturally delighted.

Furthermore, after Gu Han's martial soul evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon, making up for the flaw in his talent.

In Yue Guan's eyes, Gu Han was extraordinarily gifted, incredibly lucky to have obtained two External Soul Bones, and possessed virtually limitless potential.

With such a chance to build a good relationship.

There was no way he could let it slip by!

They returned all the way to Spirit City.

After agreeing with Yue Guan on when he would pay a visit, Gu Han parted ways with Bibi Dong and the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, returning alone to the courtyard where he lived.

After returning to the courtyard.

Gu Han could not wait to examine the soul skill attached to his newly acquired External Soul Bone.

In the courtyard.

As he poured Soul Power into the External Soul Bone in his right hand and activated it, Gu Han's right hand immediately swelled in size. Large patches of gray-black scales rapidly emerged over it, turning his right hand into a massive Dragon Claw.
