Dugu Bo Breaks Through Level 92! Fifth Spirit Ring Target: 70,000-Year Medusa! (Seeking Follow-ups!)

Yu Nan waved his hand in disgust:

"Eat it quickly, then get lost and go cultivate.

Only when your strength grows will you be able to better protect Yan Yan, and that can be considered helping me out as well."

"Yes! This junior obeys!"

Dugu Bo said no more, walking solemnly toward the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

He took a deep breath, carefully plucked it, and sat down cross-legged.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Bo placed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid into his mouth.

Once the immortal herb entered his mouth, it transformed into a gentle, warm current that instantly flowed through his entire body and limbs.

Dugu Bo felt his whole body growing warm, as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

Immediately after, a soft yet firm power began to circulate within him.

Wherever it passed, those old, chronic injuries and accumulated toxic residues were cleared away as quickly as melting snow.

BOOM!

A powerful wave of soul power erupted from within Dugu Bo's body.

The bottleneck that had kept him stuck at the peak of level 91 for years loosened instantly under the impact of this medicinal power, and then—

Break!

Level 92!

Dugu Bo snapped his eyes open, two rays of sharp light shooting out.

Feeling the surging, vast soul power within his body and an unprecedented sense of ease, Dugu Bo could not help but look up and let out a long roar:

"Level 92! This old man has finally broken through!"

"Many thanks to Senior for bestowing this medicine!"

Watching the ecstatic Dugu Bo, a satisfied curve tugged at the corners of Yu Nan's mouth.

The stronger this Old Poison Freak became, the more convenient things would be to handle in the future.

"Alright, don't get happy too soon."

Yu Nan interrupted Dugu Bo's celebration, his gaze shifting to the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a glint of light flashing in his eyes:

"Since everyone has improved, it is time to get down to business."

"I have already chosen a target for Yan Yan's fifth soul ring."

"Right here in this Sunset Forest, there is a soul beast that is very suitable for her..."

What Yu Nan spoke of was a Medusa with over 70,000 years of cultivation.

After Yu Nan transmigrated into a Poison Dragon, he had discovered this creature.

This fellow was just right.

"Medusa?!"

"And it's over 70,000 years old?!"

Dugu Bo gasped, shaking his head like a rattle-drum, his face turning deathly pale as he stepped in front of Dugu Yan.

His tone was urgent and resolute:

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Senior, this must not be done!"

Dugu Bo was so anxious that the veins on his forehead bulged, and he tried to dissuade him earnestly:

"Although Yan Yan absorbed your 200,000-year soul ring, that was because you offered it voluntarily, and the energy was gentle.

Furthermore, there was no soul resentment impact, which is why she could absorb it across such a gap."

"But this Medusa is different!"

"It is a wild soul beast; if it is hunted, there will inevitably be monstrous resentment before it dies!

70,000 years of cultivation is equivalent to the level of a Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo!"

"Generally speaking, the limit for a soul master's fifth soul ring is only around 12,000 years.

Even if Yan Yan is gifted, she could at most absorb something around 20,000 or 30,000 years."

"70,000 years... that is a gap of a full 50,000 to 60,000 years!"

"The energy impact and soul shock involved are simply not something a Soul Ancestor who has just reached level 50 can withstand!

This is practically sending her to her death!"

Watching Dugu Bo jumping around in a panic, Yu Nan nonchalantly picked his ear:

"Old Poison Freak, how have you become more timid the older you get?"

"If I say it works, then it definitely works."

Yu Nan drifted out of Dugu Yan's body, his purple-gold phantom looking down at Dugu Bo with eyes full of exasperation:

"Do you think I am unaware of the risks of absorbing a soul ring beyond one's rank?"

"It boils down to two points:

First, the body failing to withstand the massive soul power surge and exploding;

Second, the mind failing to withstand the soul shock after the soul beast's death and becoming an idiot."

Yu Nan extended a finger and shook it gently:

"Let's address the first point: physical constitution."

"Old Poison Freak, have you forgotten what Yan-yan just went through?"

"The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, plus the tempering of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well—she has now forged an 'Ice and Fire Golden Body'!"

"Impervious to water and fire, immune to all poisons!"

"Coupled with that Snow Swan Kiss from just now, it has thoroughly unleashed the potential of the 200,000-Year Poison Dragon Torso Bone within her, strengthening her meridians and bones to an unimaginable degree."

Yu Nan sneered:

"To put it bluntly, in terms of pure physical strength, Yan-yan is now tougher than you, a Title Douluo!

The energy impact of a mere 70,000-year soul ring will, at most, make her feel a bit full. Want to burst her? Keep dreaming!"

Dugu Bo was stunned, instinctively looking at Dugu Yan.

Indeed, his granddaughter's aura was as steady as a mountain, with a precious luster flowing beneath her skin, giving off an indestructible feeling.

"But... but what about the soul shock?"

Dugu Bo remained uneasy, gritting his teeth:

"The resentment of a 70,000-year Medusa is a terrifying mental assault!

Even though Yan-yan's mental power is decent, she definitely cannot withstand that!"

"Soul shock?"

Yu Nan acted as if he had heard a joke, the corners of his mouth curling into an extremely arrogant arc as he pointed at his own nose:

"Old Poison Freak, have you forgotten who I am?"

"I am a 200,000-year Poison Dragon!"

"I am this girl's Wisdom Soul Ring!"

"I reside within her Sea of Consciousness!"

Yu Nan's eyes flared with intense purple-gold light, and a pressure originating from the depths of his soul was released instantly:

"In my territory, a 70,000-year little snake dares to act presumptuously?"

"As long as that Medusa's remnant soul dares to enter Yan-yan's Sea of Consciousness, she won't even need to lift a finger."

"I can slap it into oblivion with one strike, leaving not even a scrap behind!"

"With me here, the so-called soul shock is nothing but a joke to Yan-yan!"

These words were overflowing with dominance and rang out with absolute certainty.

Dugu Bo opened his mouth, only to find himself speechless.

That was true.

With this 200,000-year fierce beast presiding over her Sea of Consciousness, what kind of vengeful spirit would dare to go there to die?

That would be like a mouse acting as a bridesmaid for a cat—pure suicide!

The two greatest risks: one was solved by the Ice and Fire Golden Body, and the other was completely covered by Yu Nan.

So, this 70,000-year soul ring... it really could be absorbed?

"Furthermore..."

Yu Nan watched the still-hesitant Dugu Bo and cast the final bait:

"A soul beast like the Medusa possesses innate skills related to petrification and gazing, making it top-tier for a control-type soul master."

"If Yan-yan can absorb its soul ring, combined with her Poison Dragon Domain, her control capabilities will reach a terrifying qualitative change."

"She might even awaken... Medusa's Gaze!"

"By then, let alone being invincible among her peers, even when facing a Soul Saint, Yan-yan could kill them with a single glare!"

Hearing the words "Medusa's Gaze," Dugu Bo's breathing grew heavy once more.

That was a legendary top-tier control soul skill!

Dugu Bo's own Medusa head soul bone provided him with that very skill.

He glanced at his granddaughter, who stood beside him with a firm gaze and an eager expression, and finally gritted his teeth, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes:

"Fine!"

"Since you have such confidence, Senior, then this old man will go crazy with you!"

"A 70,000-year Medusa... Hmph, I'll go catch it right now and turn it into a stepping stone for Yan-yan!"
