Taichu: "My Idol Is Cao Dahua, Tiger of the Serious Crimes Unit! What's Wrong with Learning from My Idol?"

At Dugu Bo's reminder, he immediately realized his current state. That damn Ice and Fire Spring had melted all the clothes on his body, leaving him somewhat embarrassed.

He hurriedly took out a set of clothes from his Soul Tool and changed into them at incredible speed.

"Uh... have you finished absorbing the Immortal Herbs?"

Taichu awkwardly changed the subject.

But.

His words brought a proud expression to Dugu Bo's face, and he immediately summoned his Martial Soul.

This Martial Soul had already taken on an entirely different appearance. Its head bore short, straight horns, and its body resembled a serpent's. It was covered in rows upon rows of hard scales, which even glimmered in five colors beneath the light. It had limbs, a pair of four-toed foreclaws shaped like sickles, and a long, smooth tail like that of a snake!

Dugu Bo's Martial Soul had clearly completed an evolution.

However.

It only had the appearance of a Flood Dragon and had not truly evolved into a dragon.

But for Dugu Bo, being able to evolve his Martial Soul to this extent already left him extremely satisfied.

Not to mention that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison in his body had also been completely neutralized after his Martial Soul evolved. He could clearly tell that his evolved Martial Soul was vastly different from his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

The greatest difference was that the poison within the Martial Soul would no longer affect him.

In the Spirit Master World.

There were countless strange Martial Souls, and poison-attribute Martial Souls were by no means rare. Poison-attribute Beast Martial Souls also made up a considerable number, but normal poison-attribute Martial Souls would not poison their Soul Masters.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison inherited through the Dugu Family for generations was, in the end, a flaw in their Martial Soul. That flaw caused the poison of the Martial Soul to be borne by the body.

This resulted in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison being passed down generation after generation.

But now.

His Martial Soul had evolved, and the problem of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison had been completely resolved.

There was also...

"My Martial Soul has now entered the ranks of Top-tier Martial Souls and no longer has any flaws. Furthermore, with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison problem completely resolved, my Soul Power Level, which had long stagnated, has also increased. I am now a Level 93 Titled Douluo. Although I have refined most of the medicinal effects of the Immortal Herb, a small portion remains. Give me a few years, and I will enter Level 95 Titled Douluo."

"In the future, even becoming a Super Douluo may not be impossible!"

Dugu Bo let out an incomparably hearty laugh. This was the first time in his life that he had felt so relaxed.

"Taichu congratulates Your Excellency Poison Douluo on advancing further!"

Taichu said with a smile.

The stronger Dugu Bo was, the better it was for him. There was no other reason: he was already planning to live off a woman, so wouldn't Dugu Bo become his backer? Naturally, the stronger he was, the happier Taichu would be.

Was it shameful to live off a woman?

If living off a woman could get him the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a Titled Douluo Grandfather, and a wife who was truly breathtakingly beautiful, then all he could say was that this meal tasted amazing!

Actually.

To be honest, before transmigrating, his idol had been Cao Dahua, Tiger of the Serious Crimes Unit. What was wrong with following in his idol's footsteps?!

"Kid, call me Grandfather from now on!"

After glancing at his Granddaughter, Dugu Bo reached out and patted Taichu on the shoulder, making his meaning clear.

"Grandfather!"

Taichu did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Good, good, good!"

Dugu Bo was overjoyed. Though this brat had seemed displeasing to him in every way before, after his Martial Soul evolved, the brat now looked pleasing no matter how he looked at him. He absolutely had to make this brat his grandson-in-law!

"Yanyan, what do you think my evolved Martial Soul should be called?"

He asked.

"Since it has become a Flood Dragon, how about calling it the Jade Phosphorous Flood Dragon Emperor?"

Dugu Yan thought briefly and came up with a name.

"Since you consumed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Grandfather, your Martial Soul should have also gained the earth attribute. In that case, how about naming it the Earth Poison Flood Dragon?!"

Taichu offered his own suggestion as well.

"Doesn't sound that great. Think some more!"

Dugu Bo was not particularly satisfied, so the two continued pondering what name Dugu Bo's evolved Martial Soul should have.

After arguing for a long time.

They finally settled on a name for this brand-new Martial Soul.

"Jade Phosphorous Rock Flood Dragon Emperor!"

The Jade Phosphorous part of the name symbolized his past, while "Rock" represented the earth attribute contained within his Martial Soul. Dugu Bo himself was extremely satisfied with this name, and so he officially decided that it would belong to his Martial Soul.

From then on.

This Martial Soul would also become famous through his use of it, or at least, that was what he believed.

After his matter was settled.

He finally turned to Dugu Yan and asked.

"Yanyan, how is your Martial Soul?"

At those words.

Dugu Yan slightly raised her chin and confidently summoned her Martial Soul.

A snake!

It was still a snake.

But its appearance had completely changed.

Nine colors bloomed in the eyes of the Martial Soul, while its snake body was covered in nine-colored scales, giving it an unusual beauty. The Aura it emitted also carried a faint sense of oppression.

Just as when Dugu Bo had summoned his Jade Phosphorous Rock Flood Dragon Emperor earlier, it was not Soul Power Pressure, but a pure Aura released by the Martial Soul itself.

Suppression by rank!

It was probably something like that.

The higher the rank of a Martial Soul, the greater its suppression over lower-ranked Martial Souls.

And the fact that Dugu Yan's Martial Soul emitted such an Aura showed that its rank was already extremely high.

However.

The moment Taichu felt it slightly, his Martial Soul swiftly appeared in his eyes, and that oppressive feeling instantly vanished without a trace.

That was right!

His Martial Soul had already evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Even when it had only been the Mangekyō Sharingan, the rank of his Martial Soul should have at least been at the level of a Top-tier Martial Soul. Therefore, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan should at least have raised the rank of his Martial Soul to the level of a Super Martial Soul.

So this Martial Soul suppression was practically nonexistent to him.

"After my Martial Soul evolved, I named it the Nine-Colored Heaven Serpent. It controls the power of nine elements: metal, Wood, water, fire, earth, wind, Thunder, Ice, and Void. However, the elements controlled by my Martial Soul must be activated and controlled by me only after I absorb corresponding Soul Rings. Also, with the evolution of my Martial Soul, the effects of my first three Soul Skills have all changed."

As she spoke, she directly used Martial Soul Possession, and two yellow Soul Rings and one purple Soul Ring appeared around her.

Then.

"First Soul Skill—Power of Fire!"

Flames ignited in the air, forming a fire serpent under Dugu Yan's control.

"Second Soul Skill—Power of Earth!"

Under her control, earthen spikes rose from the ground beside Taichu and Dugu Bo.

"Third Soul Skill—Power of Water!"

Under the effects of her Soul Skill, the water of the Ice and Fire Spring actually formed a Dragon Gate. One small fish after another, condensed from the spring water, leaped through the Dragon Gate beneath their gazes and transformed into dragons.

Her display truly left Taichu staring in amazement!
