Following the method taught by Yu Nan, Dugu Bo cautiously controlled his soul power to surge toward the Poison Pill in his abdomen.
At first, there was some repulsion between the soul power and the Poison Pill.
But under the control of Dugu Bo's powerful spiritual force, the two began to slowly fuse and rotate.
Hum...
A strange fluctuation radiated from within Dugu Bo's body.
The surrounding air seemed to be drawn in, beginning to rotate slowly around him to form a small energy vortex.
The heaven and earth essence within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well also seemed to have been summoned, rushing madly toward Dugu Bo.
Watching this scene, Yu Nan nodded with satisfaction.
"A teachable student."
"With the addition of a Soul Core, coupled with those few Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, this Old Poison Freak's strength should be able to barely squeeze into the threshold of a Super Douluo."
"By then, even if he faces those two lackeys from the Martial Soul Hall, he will have the power to put up a fight."
After settling Dugu Bo, Yu Nan's gaze turned once again to Dugu Yan, who was in the midst of absorbing a soul bone.
At this moment, Dugu Yan was already enveloped by a thick, blue-gold cocoon of light.
As that dense blue-gold cocoon shattered inch by inch like an eggshell, it transformed into specks of starlight that merged into Dugu Yan's body.
Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes.
In an instant, two beams of azure brilliance shot out from her gaze.
Deep within her originally bewitching emerald-green eyes, there was now a touch of blue-gold, full of vitality and nobility.
Dugu Yan stood up, feeling her body so light that it seemed as if she were about to float away, while the soul power surging within her flowed like a mighty, endless river.
Level fifty-six!
A single soul bone had actually allowed her to jump three levels, rushing directly from level fifty-three to level fifty-six!
Moreover, Dugu Yan could clearly feel that the benefits brought by this soul bone were far from as simple as just an increase in soul power.
Her body's resilience, the strength of her meridians, and even her spiritual force had all undergone an all-encompassing baptism.
"Grandfather!
I succeeded..."
Dugu Yan could not hide the ecstasy in her heart and was just about to open her mouth to share the good news with Dugu Bo, who was not far away.
However, Yu Nan's majestic and low voice suddenly rang out in her mind, stopping her:
"Shut up!
Don't make a sound!"
Dugu Yan's heart trembled; she swallowed the words that had reached her lips, freezing in place with a look of confusion and astonishment.
"Sen... Senior?"
She called out cautiously in her heart.
"Look over there."
Yu Nan's voice echoed in her Sea of Consciousness, carrying a hint of gravity and anticipation.
Dugu Yan turned her head subconsciously.
She saw that, just a few dozen meters away, Dugu Bo was sitting cross-legged.
But his current state was terrifying.
With Dugu Bo as the center, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred frantically by an invisible giant hand, forming a massive energy vortex dozens of meters in diameter.
The extreme energy, interwoven with red and white within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, was being madly drawn into this vortex.
It poured continuously into Dugu Bo's body.
Dugu Bo's face was flushed and his brows were tightly locked, as if he were enduring immense pressure.
Yet, at the location of his abdomen, a dazzling emerald-green light lit up, resembling a small sun in the midst of gestation.
It radiated a terrifying fluctuation that made one's heart palpitate.
"What... what happened to Grandfather?"
Feeling that oppressive aura, a sense of worry rose in Dugu Yan's heart.
"He is condensing a Soul Core."
Yu Nan explained indifferently:
"This is the critical step for him to break through his own limits and step into the realm of a Super Douluo.
Now is the most crucial moment; any outside interference could cause him to fall short of success, or even result in his body exploding."
"Soul Core?"
Dugu Yan blinked; this was a term she had never heard of before.
"That is a profound mystery of power that only existed in the ancient era, or could be mastered by a very small number of gifted Title Douluo."
Yu Nan patiently explained:
"Simply put, it is to highly compress one's soul power and condense a second energy core within the body.
Once successful, your grandfather's soul power recovery speed, explosive force, and control over his soul power will all undergo a qualitative leap."
"If he was a venomous snake before, then after condensing a Soul Core, he will be a true Poison Flood Dragon!"
Hearing this, the worry in Dugu Yan's eyes instantly transformed into deep surprise and excitement.
A Super Douluo!
That was a realm that countless soul masters dreamed of!
Her grandfather had been trapped at level ninety-one or ninety-two for so many years, constantly plagued by the backlash of his own toxins.
Now, not only was the poison neutralized, but he actually had the chance to advance even further!
Watching that figure struggling to hold on amidst the energy vortex, yet seeing his momentum steadily climbing.
Dugu Yan covered her mouth, her eyes slightly reddened, her heart filled with gratitude toward Yu Nan.
If not for this senior, she and her grandfather would likely still be struggling on that dead end; how could they have such good fortune today?
"Alright, stop wallowing in self-moved sentiment."
Yu Nan seemed to see through Dugu Yan's thoughts, his voice remaining lazy:
"That Old Poison Freak has a deep foundation, and with the help of this Ice and Fire treasure land, although condensing a Soul Core is dangerous, the chance of success is high. You just need to watch quietly."
As he spoke, Yu Nan shifted the topic, drawing his attention back to Dugu Yan:
"What about you? How do you feel after absorbing that 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone?
What soul skills did it bring you?"
Mentioning the soul bone, Dugu Yan immediately composed her mind, closing her eyes to carefully sense the surging blue-gold energy within her right leg.
A moment later, she opened her eyes again, a curve of irrepressible excitement tugging at the corners of her mouth:
"Senior, this soul bone... is simply perfect!"
"It has granted me two soul skills."
Dugu Yan held up two fingers, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"The first soul skill, I have named it 'Resurrection'."
"Resurrection..."
Yu Nan repeated it in the Sea of Consciousness in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of understanding.
"Not bad, the name is quite fitting.
The Blue Silver Emperor is the sovereign among plant-type soul beasts, and its tenacity of life is unparalleled in the world.
Since this soul bone originates from it, it is only natural that it possesses top-tier healing abilities."
"What are the specific effects?"
Dugu Yan took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with a confident light:
"As long as I am not dead, even if I have severed limbs, as long as I have enough soul power, I can regenerate them in a short time!
Moreover, this soul skill can be used not only on myself but also on others. Although the effect is slightly reduced, it is enough to pull someone on the brink of death back from the gates of hell!"
"Hmm, that is about what I expected."
Yu Nan nodded slightly.
Isn't this just a version of Tang San's "Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life" from the original story?
It's just that that kid Tang San liked to be poetic, while this girl Dugu Yan is straightforward, calling it "Resurrection" directly.
Still, this ability is truly heaven-defying.
