Success! Awakened, Body Martial Soul: Calamity Poison Body?! (Seeking Reads!)

"Back then, when Martial Soul Hall forced their hand, they abandoned their own affiliated clans without a second thought just to protect themselves, tossing them to Martial Soul Hall like trash to vent their rage.

A sect that acts like a tortoise hiding in its shell—do you really think they would come out of retirement and offend a Title Douluo for the sake of a 'poor relative' who has been abandoned for years?"

"Don't dream."

"As for Tang Hao..."

Yu Nan paused, his tone becoming even more playful:

"The Speed Clan hates Tang Hao, perhaps even more deeply than they hate Martial Soul Hall.

If not for Tang Hao causing trouble back then, how could they have fallen into such a miserable state today?

That old man Bai He is proud and arrogant; even if he were to starve to death, he would never beg Tang Hao."

"What's more, Tang Hao can barely protect himself now, hiding in dark corners all day like a rat, licking his wounds.

He can only leave his own son to fend for himself in a small place like Nuoding City; where would he find the spare time to manage this mess?"

For Yu Nan.

Destroying the Speed Clan brought more harm than good.

Relying on his knowledge of the plot.

Yu Nan had absolute confidence.

In just a few short years, he would cultivate Dugu Yan into a Title Douluo.

If he wiped out the Speed Clan now, many future endeavors would face immense resistance.

Besides, this kind of drama—forcibly seizing treasures.

It happened often enough within the Clear Sky Sect and Martial Soul Hall.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded thoughtfully, though the killing intent in his eyes did not entirely fade:

"What the senior says is true.

But... only the dead can truly keep a secret.

What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs'."

Yu Nan interrupted him directly, his voice cold:

"Wiping out the Speed Clan would cause too much of a stir.

Once a village is slaughtered, the nature of the act changes.

By then, not only the Clear Sky Sect but even Martial Soul Hall would intervene to investigate.

After all, a Title Douluo slaughtering a clan without cause is a major taboo in the spirit master world."

"It is perfect as it is now.

We took the items and left; it is merely a 'private grievance'.

For the sake of his pride, that old man Bai He won't even dare to loudly proclaim that he was robbed."

"Leaving them alive makes them nothing more than a pack of stray dogs; they won't be able to stir up any waves."

"Furthermore..."

Yu Nan's voice suddenly turned low and serious:

"Instead of worrying about those losers, you should focus your energy on Yan Yan's upcoming transformation."

"The medicinal properties of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng are extremely violent, and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone contains immense vitality.

To perfectly fuse these two and use them as a catalyst to awaken her Body Martial Soul.

The danger involved is far greater than facing ten Bai Hes!"

Dugu Bo felt a jolt in his heart and instantly cast aside all thoughts of killing them to silence them.

Compared to those potential external threats, his granddaughter's safety was the top priority.

"The senior is right to lecture me!

It is this old man who was distracted."

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and asked:

"Where shall we go now?

Back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the Sunset Forest?"

"Correct."

Yu Nan affirmed:

"Only the unique environment there can suppress the volatility of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng while masking the anomalies that might occur when Yan Yan breaks through."

"Full speed ahead, back to our lair!"

"Understood!"

Dugu Bo no longer hesitated, unleashing his full soul power.

Two days later.

Deep within the Sunset Forest, a poisonous array swirled.

Dugu Bo led Dugu Yan through the toxic miasma with practiced ease, returning to that familiar valley.

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the red and white spring waters continued to boil and intertwine, radiating an aura of extreme cold and heat.

This was Dugu Bo's herb garden, and currently, the most supreme cultivation treasure land on the continent.

"Right here will do."

Yu Nan's voice rang out.

Dugu Bo set Dugu Yan down, looking at her with a grave expression:

"Yan-yan, are you ready?"

Dugu Yan looked at the churning spring water before her, then at the jade box in her hand containing the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and finally at the soul bone in her arms that radiated a blue-gold light.

She took a deep breath, her eyes devoid of any fear, holding only an unyielding determination.

"Grandfather, Senior, I am ready."

"No matter how much it hurts, I can endure it!"

Yu Nan's satisfied voice came through:

"Very good."

"First, consume the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, using its medicinal power to scour your entire meridian system and bring your blood and qi to their peak."

"Then, at the moment the medicinal power is at its most violent, fuse directly with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!"

"Use the power of the blood ginseng as a guide, and the vitality of the Emperor bone as a supplement, to reshape your physical body and awaken your true form!"

"Begin!"

"Ah--!!"

A shrill, agonizing scream echoed throughout the entire valley, startling countless birds into flight.

Dugu Yan was currently sitting cross-legged on the bank of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, her skin flushed red as blood, as if she were a boiled shrimp.

The medicinal power of that Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was simply too tyrannical.

The moment it entered her stomach, it transformed into a surging torrent, rampaging through her body and frantically tearing at her meridians and blood vessels.

Yu Nan felt a pang of sympathy.

But to become stronger, a certain amount of hardship was necessary.

If he had the awakening secret techniques of the Body Sect from the second era, it would be much easier.

Unfortunately, in this era.

Dugu Yan was a pioneer, destined to endure much suffering.

"Hold on! Yan-yan!"

Dugu Bo watched from the side, burning with anxiety, his hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.

He wished he could take her place, but he knew that this trial was one Yan-yan had to overcome on her own.

This was the necessary path to rebirth!

"Pfft!"

Dugu Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, the crimson liquid mixed with fragments of her internal organs.

Her consciousness began to blur, and the scene before her eyes spun dizzily.

It was too painful...

It was truly too painful...

It felt as if every cell in her body was burning, and her soul was being torn apart.

"I can't do it anymore..."

A deep sense of powerlessness rose in Dugu Yan's heart; the willpower that had been supporting her was finally on the verge of collapse.

Her head drooped powerlessly, and the aura on her body began to weaken rapidly.

"Not good! The girl can't hold on!"

Dugu Bo was struck with terror, about to disregard everything and intervene to forcibly interrupt the fusion.

"Don't move!"

Yu Nan's majestic and calm voice exploded, instantly freezing Dugu Bo in his tracks.

"Senior!

Yan-Yan, she..."

"Leave it to me."

Yu Nan's voice carried an unquestionable air of dominance.

The next moment.

Inside Dugu Yan's Sea of Consciousness.

The purple-gold dragon that had been coiled in the void suddenly opened its eyes, letting out a heaven-shaking dragon roar.

ROAR—!

A vast, boundless mental force instantly took control of Dugu Yan's collapsing body.

Outside.

Dugu Yan, who had already slumped her head and was on the verge of death, suddenly snapped her head up!

Within her eyes, the original emerald green instantly faded, replaced by a pair of majestic, cold, and divine purple-gold vertical pupils!

"Hmph, if you can't even endure this bit of pain, how do you expect to become a god?"

"Dugu Yan" spoke. Although the voice was still hers, the tone was completely different, filled with the pressure of a superior.

Dugu Bo shuddered, immediately realizing that Senior Yu Nan had taken control of Yan-Yan's body!

"Dugu Yan" formed hand seals, and the medicinal power and soul power that had been rampaging wildly within her body instantly became as docile as soldiers meeting their king.

"Poison Dragon Torso Bone, manifest!"

With a low shout.

A dazzling purple-black light suddenly erupted from Dugu Yan's chest.

It was none other than the 200,000-year Poison Dragon Torso Bone!

Under Yu Nan's control, this torso bone unleashed its true potential.

BOOM!

A terrifying devouring force burst forth from the torso bone.

In an instant, it forcibly pulled in the violent Bloodline Power of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the surging life force of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, converging them all into a single point!

"With poison as the guide, blood as the medium, and bone as the foundation!"

"Condense... for me!"

"Dugu Yan" let out a long cry toward the sky. Purple energy churned around her, and countless eerie black patterns began to spread across her skin.

They intertwined into a mysterious and ancient design.

The spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well seemed to respond to the call, boiling frantically.

The red and white mists transformed into two giant dragons, roaring as they charged into Dugu Yan's body.

CRACK!

A sound like something shattering echoed within Dugu Yan's body.

Immediately following, an unprecedentedly powerful aura soared into the sky, directly dispersing the poisonous miasma above the valley!

Dugu Yan's body slowly floated into mid-air.

At this moment, she was enveloped in a faint purple-black halo.

Her previously crimson skin had returned to a fair complexion, appearing even more translucent than before, like mutton-fat jade.

Yet, beneath this fairness, a heart-palpitating aura of deadly poison faintly emanated.

Her long hair moved without wind, the tips turning an eerie purple-black.

"It is done."

Yu Nan's voice carried a hint of exhaustion, but even more satisfaction.

He slowly withdrew from his control of the body, sinking his consciousness back into the Sea of Consciousness.

Dugu Yan's purple-gold vertical pupils gradually faded, returning to emerald green, though her gaze was now deeper and more spirited.

She landed slowly, feeling the brand-new, surging power within her, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"Grandfather... I feel..."

Dugu Yan raised her hand, looking at her slender palm.

With a single thought.

WHOOSH!

A ball of purple-black flame ignited out of thin air in her palm.

This flame had no temperature, yet it emitted a nauseating, sickly-sweet scent.

The surrounding air hissed with a corrosive sound the moment it touched the flames.

"This is..."

Dugu Bo widened his eyes. He had played with poison his entire life, yet he had never seen such a bizarre, poisonous fire.

"This is my second martial soul."

Dugu Yan murmured to herself, as information regarding this new martial soul surfaced naturally in her mind:

"It is called... the Calamity Poison Body."

"Calamity Poison Body?"

Dugu Bo was stunned.

"Yes."

Excitement flickered in Dugu Yan's eyes:

"My body is now a massive vessel for poison.

I can devour all the poisons in the world to increase my soul power; the stronger the poison, the faster I advance!"

"Moreover, I no longer need to worry about the backlash of toxins like before, because my body itself is the source of the poison. I can perfectly control every toxin within me!"

"In fact..."

Dugu Yan looked toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well not far away, a confident arc forming on her lips:

"Even the poison within this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well... I can swallow it in one gulp!"

As she spoke, she actually walked to the edge of the spring, cupped a handful of the water—which was potent enough to kill a Title Douluo instantly—and drank it without a moment's hesitation!

"Yanyan! No!"

Dugu Bo was terrified out of his wits, but it was already too late to stop her.

However.

The scream he had anticipated never came.

After drinking the spring water, Dugu Yan merely frowned slightly, then immediately wore an expression of pure enjoyment.

The soul power fluctuations within her body actually surged by a visible margin!

"This... this..."

Dugu Bo was completely dumbfounded.

How could this still be a human?

She was nothing short of a humanoid black hole for poison!

"Congratulations, Yanyan."

Yu Nan's voice rang out at the perfect moment:

"The Calamity Poison Body is the ultimate constitution for the path of poison.

From this day forward, all the poisons in this world shall be your nourishment."

"Even that so-called Twin Spider Emperor martial soul of Bibi Dong is nothing but a minor trick compared to your Calamity Poison Body."

Dugu Yan clenched her fists, feeling the surging power within her body, her eyes burning with intense ambition.

"Thank you, Senior, for the grace of this rebirth!"

"This time, I will make the entire continent know the name of Dugu Yan!"
