Serpent Emperor Transforms into Flood Dragon

Chapter 48: Serpent Emperor Transforms into Flood Dragon

More than a year later, upon returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Long Chen noticed some changes.

The medicinal herbs had grown rapidly under the nourishment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Water.

What were once small herbs had become much more lush.

Dugu Bo asked with some anticipation:

"Kid, we're already here, stop playing coy."

"Don't rush, I have a special gift for you."

Long Chen smiled slightly, his gaze finally settling on a plant growing in a rock crevice, emitting a faint golden light.

It was a golden melon about the size of a fist, its surface covered in patterns resembling earth veins, exuding a heavy and ancient aura.

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow at the sight, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

"Kid, you're not talking about this, are you?"

Long Chen nodded slightly.

"This is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an extremely rare heavenly treasure."

As Long Chen explained, he carefully plucked the golden melon and presented it to Dugu Bo.

"After two years of cultivation, you should have fully absorbed the medicinal effects of that Ninth Grade Purple Zhi. Now that you've adapted to the toxins in your body, you can take this Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Although it's earth-attributed, it contains a trace of dragon power, which might promote the evolution of your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul."

Dugu Bo looked at the Earth Dragon Golden Melon with an expression of disbelief.

"This small golden melon can promote my Martial Soul Evolution?"

"This is an Immortal Grade Herb that has absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if it can't promote your Martial Soul Evolution, it can greatly increase your strength, primarily boosting your power."

"Boost power."

Dugu Bo took the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and examined it carefully, an indescribable excitement surging within him.

As a Title Douluo, he knew exactly what Martial Soul Evolution meant for a Soul Master.

His Green Lined Serpent Martial Soul had evolved into the Green Lined Serpent Emperor, which had propelled him to the Title Douluo realm.

Although his poison was unmatched, his single-target attack power was not strong, leading him to be taunted as the most useless Title Douluo.

It was precisely due to his insufficient attack power that he was always defeated by Martial Soul Hall's Elder Ju and Yue Guan, forcing him to flee.

Power was something he had always craved.

If this Earth Dragon Golden Melon could truly bring him power, then his overall strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Long Chen urged, "Eat it quickly. Just chew and swallow it directly, then activate your soul power to absorb its medicinal effect."

"Okay."

Dugu Bo nodded, without hesitation, and directly put the Earth Dragon Golden Melon into his mouth.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon transformed into a warm and fiery energy, instantly surging throughout Dugu Bo's entire body.

He only felt a majestic power churning within his body, as if thousands of tiny things were shuttling through his meridians, bringing waves of numbness and swelling pain.

Dugu Bo immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to guide this vast energy, according to his years of cultivation experience, to slowly integrate it into his body.

As time passed, the air around Dugu Bo seemed to become heavier, and a faint earthy yellow light emanated from within him.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of energy was completely absorbed, Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes.

He stood up, felt the changes within himself, and was overjoyed.

Long Chen quickly walked over, and asked impatiently, "How is it? How do you feel?"

"Kid, just as you said, my martial soul has evolved again."

As Dugu Bo spoke, he subconsciously released his martial soul.

A Jade Phosphorous Flood Dragon, even larger than before, appeared out of thin air.

Its scales emitted a faint green-gold luster, releasing a soul-stirring pressure.

"This... is this really my martial soul?"

Dugu Bo looked at the scene before him in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly.

Witnessing Dugu Bo's martial soul evolve with his own eyes, Long Chen was also a little excited.

"Serpent Emperor Transforms into Flood Dragon! Congratulations, Bro."

"Flood Dragon."

Dugu Bo stared blankly at the scene before him.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor evolving into the Jade Phosphorous Flood Dragon not only meant that the quality of his martial soul had been greatly improved, but it also allowed his strength to directly leap across a level, reaching a new height.

The violent attack power of dragon-type martial souls was not something snake-type martial souls could compare to.

Dugu Bo retracted his martial soul, his excitement evident.

Long Chen asked:

"Has your soul power improved?"

Dugu Bo chuckled.

"I was just about to tell you about that. That Earth Dragon Golden Melon not only caused my martial soul to evolve, but it also directly helped me break through the bottleneck of Level Ninety-Three and reach Level Ninety-Four."

"That's truly wonderful."

For a Title Douluo-level soul master, every increase in soul power meant a huge improvement.

Breaking through through one's own cultivation was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Dugu Bo and Long Chen had only known each other for two to three years.

But Long Chen's help had been immense, not only solving the problem of his own poison backfiring but also helping him increase his strength time and again.

His martial soul evolving into a Flood Dragon had elevated his strength to a new realm he had never dared to hope for.

Dugu Bo patted Long Chen's shoulder, his eyes full of gratitude:

"Kid, this gift is too precious. I, Dugu Bo, owe you a favor. From now on, whether it's the Soul Master Competition or anything else, if you need anything, I will go all out!"

Long Chen joked:

"I'm not doing this just for you, but for myself too. With a powerhouse like you as my backing, I'll have more confidence when facing strong enemies."

"Haha~ You kid are still so direct. That's exactly what I liked about you back then. Compared to those Peak Douluo, I, Dugu Bo, am indeed a bit lacking, but as long as I'm here, I will do my best to protect you completely."

As Dugu Bo spoke, he suddenly thought of something and frowned.

"Kid, will this Earth Dragon Golden Melon grow again?"

Long Chen understood what he meant and smiled:

"You're thinking of Dugu Yan, right?"

"Yes, you understand me best."

"It can grow again, but it will probably take hundreds of years. Dugu Yan's martial soul hasn't evolved yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"That's true, this isn't something I should be worrying about now, haha~"

The two chatted and laughed, discussing their future plans.

"Brother Bo, why don't you become a special consultant for Heaven Dou Royal Academy? This way, you can participate in the Soul Master Competition with our team as a team leader teacher, and also look after us."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Dugu Bo readily agreed.

After staying at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a few days, the two left and returned to Heaven Dou City.

Not long after, Ye Lingling's spirit power broke through to the Fiftieth Rank.

Long Chen took Ye Lingling to the Star Dou Great Forest to help her hunt a Soul Beast.

After obtaining her first Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Ye Lingling's spirit power reached Level Fifty-Two.
