The Possibility of Martial Soul Evolution

"That can't be true. Even the most outstanding genius in the history of Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy couldn't compare to you."

Dugu Yan clearly did not believe Dugu Yang's claim.

Dugu Yang smiled faintly and said,

"Geniuses aren't necessarily all in academies."

"All right, enough about that. How has your cultivation been going?"

At those words, Dugu Yan immediately broke into a smile.

"Hehe, I may not compare to you, but I've already reached the peak of Level 23. I believe it won't be long before I break through."

That was right. Dugu Yan's cultivation had now reached Level 23.

Of course, reaching this level just after obtaining her Second Spirit Ring was not due to hard cultivation, but because she had absorbed the Ice Viper Right Arm Spirit Bone.

That Thousand Year Level Spirit Bone had directly raised her Soul Power Level by two levels.

In other words, her hard cultivation during this time had only taken Dugu Yan from newly entering Level 23 to its peak.

Still, Dugu Yang nodded and said,

"It seems you haven't slacked off."

"Of course not."

Dugu Yan proudly lifted her chin and added,

"Ayang, what type do you think I should choose for my Third Soul Ring? Area control, or enhancing the toxicity of my Jade Phosphor Snake Poison?"

After absorbing the Ice Viper Right Arm Spirit Bone, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Snake Poison had successfully gained an icy property, so there was no need for her to absorb an Ice Attribute Spirit Ring.

Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Dugu Yang's tone suddenly became serious.

"Yanzi, Second Grandfather and I have discussed your Third Soul Ring. So whatever you do, don't absorb one on your own."

"Uh... all right, I understand."

Although Dugu Yan did not know why Dugu Yang placed such importance on her Third Soul Ring, she still chose to trust him.

"Ayang, don't be so tense. I haven't even broken through Level 24 yet. Level 30 is still far away."

Dugu Yang nodded slightly, then chuckled.

"Don't worry. Your Third Soul Ring definitely won't disappoint you."

The reason Dugu Yang did not want Dugu Yan to absorb her Third Soul Ring on her own was because it was tied to the solution for the flaws of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

However, this method was not suitable for every Jade Phosphor Serpent Soul Master either, though it differed from Tang San's method of forcing out poison through a Spirit Bone.

Not only would Dugu Yang's method not sacrifice a Soul Master's future, it would instead elevate them.

The method was simple enough: evolve Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul into a Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon.

The Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul was formed when the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul awakened its Giant Dragon Bloodline and evolved. Unlike its normal evolutions into the Jade Phosphor Snake King and Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, the Jade Flood Dragon focused on the physical body, and its poison resistance could even render Jade Phosphor Snake Poison ineffective.

Dugu Yang had only learned this after evolving his own Martial Soul into a Jade Flood Dragon.

As long as Dugu Yan could evolve into a Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison within her body would no longer be a problem.

Moreover, the Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul could grant her greater strength and faster speed, killing several birds with one stone.

However, evolving into a Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul was not something that could be done just by talking about it.

Dugu Yang had only managed it after absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Emerald Poison Dragon Spirit Bone.

Not to mention whether Douluo Continent even had a second Hundred Thousand Year Emerald Poison Dragon Spirit Bone.

Even if it did, Dugu Yan would absolutely be unable to withstand the erosion of the Heart-Corroding Poison.

Thus, Dugu Yang and Dugu Bo had researched it repeatedly before coming up with an as-yet unconfirmed method.

However, Dugu Yan was still far from absorbing her Third Soul Ring, so Dugu Yang still had time to study it.

Sunset Forest, outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye

Dugu Yang sat cross-legged, circulating his Heavenly Cycle. He was clearly cultivating.

About half an hour later, Dugu Yang felt every pore on his body open at once. Dense energy of heaven and earth poured into him, causing his Soul Power to surge.

Pop~

Level 29!

Dugu Yang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with delight. After a month of hard cultivation, he had finally broken through to Level 29.

"So this is the cultivation speed of Innate Full Soul Power."

Breaking through one level in a month was undeniably fast. There were many factors involved, but the greatest was that Dugu Yang now possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

Previously, it took him half an hour to complete one Heavenly Cycle. Now, the time had been reduced to a quarter of that, while his Soul Power no longer increased strand by strand, but surged in waves. His cultivation speed had increased by far more than double.

Furthermore, his meridians had widened and become tougher, fully capable of handling the accelerated growth of his Soul Power.

"At this rate, I should be able to break through Level 30 within three months. Then I can absorb my Third Soul Ring."

Dugu Yang muttered to himself, his black eyes gleaming.

Dugu Yang's anticipation for his Third Soul Ring was no less than what he had felt for his First and Second Spirit Rings.

"Xiaoyang, you broke through!"

A delighted voice rang out.

Within this Mountain Valley, aside from Dugu Yang, there was naturally only Dugu Bo.

"Good fortune came to me, so I broke through."

Dugu Yang made a joke. When he noticed the container in Dugu Bo's hand, he immediately understood why Dugu Bo had come.

"You've run out of blood again."

At those words, Dugu Bo's old face reddened. He rubbed his nose awkwardly.

"Without any reference materials, researching the pill formula for the Dragon Blood Transforming Flood Dragon Pill is simply too difficult."

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to figure it out. Yanzi's life is at stake, and it's only costing me some blood."

Dugu Yang walked before Dugu Bo and used Fleeting Beauty to slice open his palm. Blood with a faint rusty scent immediately flowed into the container in Dugu Bo's hand.

After quite a while, the container was filled with bright red blood.

Looking at the nearly three hundred milliliters of blood before him, Dugu Bo felt deeply moved and said solemnly,

"Xiaoyang, you've truly worked hard."

"It's nothing. With the strength of my physical body now, I can recover it in the time it takes to eat a meal."

Dugu Yang spoke without concern. He was not boasting; it was simply the truth.

This full cup of blood looked like a lot, but it was merely ordinary blood. With Dugu Yang's current blood-producing ability, recovering it over the course of one meal might have been an exaggeration, but he could definitely replenish it within a day.

As for the Dragon Blood Transforming Flood Dragon Pill they had mentioned, it was the key to evolving the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul into a Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul.

The normal evolution of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul should have been into the Jade Phosphor Snake King, followed by Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

Therefore, to evolve it into a Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul, they had to use a Dragon Blood Transforming Flood Dragon Pill made with Dugu Yang's blood as the catalyst.

After all, Dugu Yang was the only possessor of a Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul.

Of course, the Dragon Blood Transforming Flood Dragon Pill alone was not enough. They also needed one, or perhaps even two, Spirit Rings from Dragon Species Soul Beasts, as well as an Immortal Grade Spirit Grass that Dugu Yang had long set his sights on.

That way, Dugu Yan would have a great chance of evolving her Martial Soul into a Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul and completely resolving the harm caused by the erosion of Jade Phosphor Snake Poison.

Dugu Yang had expended so much effort researching Martial Soul Evolution not only because of his bond with Dugu Yan, but also because he wanted to evolve his own Jade Flood Dragon Martial Soul into a Jade Phosphor Dragon.
