Demonic Sound Summons Taowu

The sky was just beginning to brighten when Long Chen woke from absorbing the Soul Ring.

Feeling the new power within him, he smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo walked over.

"How do you feel? After absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, your Soul Power must have increased quite a bit, right?"

Long Chen stood up, stretched his limbs, and replied:

"My Soul Power has gone up two levels. I'm at level forty-two now."

Dugu Bo nodded, a trace of approval in his eyes.

"It's incredible that you managed to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as your fourth ring. Your potential and constitution really are extraordinary. Your future achievements are limitless."

Long Chen smiled modestly.

"If you hadn't protected me, Senior, I wouldn't have absorbed it so smoothly."

Dugu Bo waved a hand.

"You did it through your own efforts. I merely watched from the sidelines. But you still have a long road ahead. Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings are powerful, but they can also bring you danger. Do you know why?"

"You mean Spirit Hall?"

Dugu Bo nodded, then continued:

"Your Martial Soul has an Evil Attribute, and your Soul Skills are strange. Your fourth Soul Ring is already at the ten-thousand-year level. It's bound to attract Spirit Hall's attention. A genius like you, without a powerful force backing you, will be mercilessly eliminated if Spirit Hall can't make use of you."

"I know that, of course. That's why I've been working hard to grow stronger."

"Good thing you went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. At least you're safe for now. But I'm curious: with your talent, why did you wait so long to enroll in the Royal Academy?"

"I don't mind telling you. My Martial Soul's Evil Attribute and the unusual nature of its Soul Skills left me with no choice."

Long Chen then told Dugu Bo about the events of the past few years.

Only then did Dugu Bo understand.

"The Ye Tianming Couple went to great lengths for you. At least you haven't let them down. You weren't controlled by your Heart Demon, and you can control that powerful Evil Attribute energy. I agree with them: try not to use your first Soul Skill's Devour Ability in public."

"Mm, I know."

Dugu Bo suddenly chuckled.

"Kid, the fact that you're willing to tell me your secrets means you're ready to treat me as a friend. I, Dugu Bo, have always kept to myself and never cared for socializing, but I'd be glad to make a friend of you, little brother."

"It's my honor to be friends with Poison Douluo, whose mastery of poison is unmatched under heaven. If you don't mind, let's call each other brothers from now on. I'll call you Brother Bo. How does that sound?"

"Haha, whatever you like. By the way, what's the Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill you just acquired?"

"My Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill is a little strange, too. It can summon a Ferocious Beast through the Demon Qin Sound."

After speaking, Long Chen released his Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul again, along with his yellow, yellow, purple, and black Soul Rings.

As his fingers plucked the strings, the fourth Soul Ring suddenly blazed with a brilliant, deep black light.

A chilling sensation emanated from the dark light.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere began to fill the air, like a shadow descending.

The black mist quickly gathered in midair, taking the form of a massive, fearsome phantom.

The phantom was powerfully built, with clouds beneath its four feet and wisps of black mist curling around its body. It looked like a demon crawling out of the abyss, radiating death and destruction.

Its body resembled a tiger's, with long fur and a long tail. Its face was somewhat human, and its mouth bristled with tusks like a wild boar's.

Its low growl held a soul-shaking power that filled anyone who heard it with fear.

The pressure emanating from it made even a mighty Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo frown slightly. He couldn't help marveling at the strangeness and power of this Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill.

Long Chen's fingertips danced across the strings, every note summoning and controlling the enormous phantom.

The phantom seemed to answer his call, gradually revealing an even more terrifying power and form, as if ready to obey its master and tear every enemy to pieces.

Suddenly, the monster split in two, becoming two identical phantoms.

Dugu Bo's eyes widened at the sight.

Long Chen stopped playing and put away his Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul. The enormous black phantom vanished with it.

Staring at the place where it had disappeared, Dugu Bo asked in puzzlement:

"Xiao Chen, what was that phantom you just summoned? Its appearance was strange, and it was ferocious. It looked a bit like some kind of tiger Soul Beast, but I've never seen one like it before."

Long Chen smiled and explained:

"That was the legendary Ferocious Beast Taowu. It's incredibly vicious and never retreats from a fight."

"Taowu? I can't believe you can summon such a fierce beast. When it became two shadows, was one of them a Shadow Clone?"

"Mm, it's similar to the Ghost Tiger's Shadow Clone skill."

"That Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill of yours really is extraordinary. From the looks of it, your attack power has increased quite a bit."

After speaking, Dugu Bo glanced around.

"Xiao Chen, you've finished absorbing your Soul Ring. We should get going."

"Mm. Let's go."

The two headed toward the edge of the forest, chatting as they walked.

Long Chen said:

"Brother Bo, you've fully absorbed the medicinal effects of the Ninth Grade Purple Zhi. Once we get back, we can move on to the next stage of treatment."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Mm. It's not complicated. The main reason the poison is turning against you is that your Martial Soul is a Beast Martial Soul and you cultivate the Poison Skill, so the poison has merged with your body. If you had a parasite inside you, it could store the poison. If I'm not mistaken, you have a Soul Bone, don't you?"

Dugu Bo suddenly understood.

"You mean I should force the poison in my body into the Soul Bone, so it won't harm me anymore?"

Long Chen nodded.

"You've been poisoned too deeply for medicine alone to neutralize all of it. This is a better solution."

Dugu Bo thought for a moment, then sighed softly.

"I do have a Soul Bone. I understand what you're saying. But I've cultivated the Green Lined Serpent Martial Soul for years and evolved it into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. My body has long since become one with the poison. Forcing the poison into the Soul Bone won't be easy. One wrong move, and the poison could turn on me even more viciously. It would be no different from suicide."

Long Chen smiled calmly and continued:

"I've considered that, of course. Don't worry; I'm not suggesting you force the poison out with Soul Power alone. We'll combine it with my medicine, gradually filtering the poison from your body, then use Soul Power to slowly guide it into the Soul Bone. It'll be a long process, and I'll see it through with you. This method might not force all the poison in your body into the Soul Bone, but it should at least ease your suffering."

Seeing how confident Long Chen looked, Dugu Bo grew interested.

"Good. I trust you. Let's try it when we get back."

"Mm."

During his years at Guang'an Hall, Long Chen had devoted himself to studying ways to cure snake poison.

His hard work had paid off, and he had learned several methods of detoxification.

After returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the two began their experiment.

With Long Chen's help, Dugu Bo took a specially prepared medicine and gradually forced the poison in his body into the Head Soul Bone. His condition improved noticeably.
