Thunder Hell Vine

Hearing Su Ming's affirmative words, Dugu Bo stopped trying to persuade him, and the two quietly waited for Dugu Yan to finish absorbing her fourth soul ring.

Another two hours passed, and Dugu Yan opened her eyes, having finished absorbing it.

Dugu Bo quickly stepped forward to inquire, and Su Ming followed closely behind.

"Yan Yan, what changes did your martial soul undergo? What are your soul skills?"

Dugu Yan saw this and wasted no words, directly performing Martial Soul Possession.

Dugu Bo and Su Ming looked at Dugu Yan's martial soul. She had indeed cleared the toxins in her body and absorbed a celestial herb, the Eight-Petal Orchid, which strengthened her foundation, purged impurities from her body, and now her origin was pure.

After absorbing a sub-dragon soul beast, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul's originally dark green scales turned ice blue, two small horns appeared on its head, and looking further down its abdomen, it had grown four legs. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul could now be called a Jade Phosphorous Ice Flood Dragon.

Seeing Dugu Yan's martial soul evolve, Dugu Bo's face broke into a smile.

"Good, good, the martial soul has indeed evolved. How are the effects of your soul skills?"

Su Ming quickly interjected.

"Right, since your martial soul has evolved, what changes have occurred to your first three soul ring soul skills?"

Dugu Yan sensed her Soul Power Level and the soul skills of her first three soul rings. She found no changes, only the addition of an ice attribute.

"My Soul Power Level has risen to forty-three. My fourth soul skill is named Cold Poison Dragon Scale. After using it, dragon claws will appear on my body, and I can also release ice-blue cold poison, simultaneously increasing my attack and defense by twenty percent."

"As for the first three soul skills, apart from the poison gaining an ice attribute, there are no other changes."

With Dugu Bo's Titled Douluo perspective, he could naturally see that after the martial soul evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Ice Flood Dragon, its attack method had also changed from control to offense.

"Not bad, not bad, you have dragon claws now. It's directly changed from control to offense. When you activate your fourth soul skill and charge into a crowd, if you're surrounded, quickly use your three soul skills, fighting while releasing poison, and with cold energy, just imagine that feeling."

Su Ming said, "Moreover, your fifth soul skill could completely be an all-encompassing control type soul skill, preferably one that can freeze. Once sealed, you can then continuously attack with poison."

Afterward, Dugu Bo found a thousand-year soul beast and had Dugu Yan demonstrate the effect of her fourth soul skill combined with her first three soul skills.

Su Ming thought as he watched, "As expected, it's so awesome, it's practically a walking nuclear weapon, spreading poison wherever it goes."

Since this soul hunting was very smooth, it was completed in just one morning. However, they didn't return to Soul Splitting Town to rest but directly used Su Ming's martial soul to fly towards Heaven Dou City.

Because the Extreme North Land and the Star Dou Great Forest were at opposite ends, one in the north and one in the south, they would pass through Heaven Dou City.

Therefore, they planned to rest for a night in Heaven Dou City. After three days of flying, they finally arrived at Heaven Dou City on the third night.

Upon arriving at Heaven Dou City, to avoid wasting time, he did not return to Shrek Academy but went directly to Dugu Manor to stay.

After arriving at Dugu Manor, Dugu Bo asked Dugu Yan if she wanted to go to the Star Dou Great Forest again or wait there.

Dugu Yan thought for a moment and decided not to hunt soul beasts together. She also did not stay at home and returned directly to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Watching Dugu Yan set off for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Su Ming pulled Dugu Bo, who was about to return to his room to rest, onto the living room sofa, and sat down himself.

After sitting down, Su Ming immediately said to Dugu Bo with a serious expression:

"Old Monster, don't rest yet. I have something to tell you."

"Tomorrow morning, we'll go soul hunting. With your strength, hunting a ten-thousand-year soul beast won't be difficult. The difficult part is returning."

"After hunting the soul ring and returning, the matter of Dugu Yan's martial soul evolution will be exposed in Heaven Dou City. When the major powers investigate and discover she had contact with me before it evolved."

"They will investigate me thoroughly, and then discover that Wang Sheng, who attended the same Primary Academy as me, also had his martial soul evolve. With these two examples of different martial soul evolutions, they will confirm that I can help people evolve their martial souls. At that time, you must protect me, my sect protection elder."

Hearing Su Ming's worried words, Dugu Bo said with a smile.

"I say, Little Monster, when you're free, you call me Old Monster, but when there's something, you call me sect protection elder. You, you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

"I don't believe you haven't anticipated this kind of situation. You must have countermeasures, or means to win over others to provide you with protection."

Hearing Dugu Bo's rebuttal, Su Ming's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"I do, but I'm just telling you in advance. After we hunt the soul ring, we'll do it. At that time, I'll still need to borrow your strength as a Level 94 Titled Douluo to intimidate them, my sect protection elder."

"Alright! Sect Master Su."

Saying that, Dugu Bo got up and walked towards the bedroom.

Watching Dugu Bo head to the bedroom to rest, Su Ming also followed to the guest room to rest.

The next morning, the two used Su Ming's martial soul to fly towards the Star Dou Great Forest. After five days of full-speed flight, they successfully arrived at Soul Hunting Town.

On the way to the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Ming had already told Dugu Bo about their destination for this trip.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, in a place called Thunder Roar Cliff, there grew a soul beast called "Thunder Hell Vine."

Su Ming's target for this trip was a "Thunder Hell Vine" slightly over ten thousand years old.

Because the Star Dou Great Forest is quite large, the two searched for a long time before finding Thunder Roar Cliff. Upon arrival, they discovered that although it was called Thunder Roar Cliff, it was actually a mountain range, and most of the soul beasts living there were lightning-type soul beasts, mixed with a small number of wind, fire, earth, and plant-type soul beasts. The reason it was called Thunder Roar Cliff was entirely due to a plant-type soul beast.

That's right, it was the "Thunder Hell Vine."

The two searched in this mountain range for a while. During this time, they encountered a "Thunder Hell Vine" with a lifespan of over 6,000 years, but its age was too low, so they continued searching.

After an afternoon of searching, they found a "Thunder Hell Vine" over 12,000 years old.

A ten-thousand-year-old "Thunder Hell Vine" already possessed some intelligence. Seeing people approach, it immediately summoned lightning to strike Su Ming and Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo used his Soul Power to withstand the thunderous strike, then followed up with a palm strike imbued with toxins, wounding the Thunder Hell Vine so severely with a single blow that it was left with only a breath of life remaining.

Seeing that it was on its last legs, Su Ming drew his dagger and sliced directly at the roots, causing the massive thunderous vine to collapse to the ground.

During the process of this Thunder Hell Vine condensing its Soul Ring, in order to prevent Dugu Bo from discovering anything unusual, Su Ming used the Creation Furnace to disguise the scene, making it appear as though the entire vine had turned into ash and dissipated after the Soul Ring was formed, when in reality, it had been absorbed into the Creation Furnace.

Watching the vine turn into ashes and dissipate, Dugu Bo said nothing; after all, there were thousands of Soul Beasts, and many of this kind existed, so it was normal for a corpse to turn into ash after being hunted and having its Soul Ring condensed.

Seeing that the task was complete and Dugu Bo had no suspicions, Su Ming began the absorption process, coordinating with the Creation Furnace to enhance the quality of his Thunder God bloodline.
