Yu Nan: A Bit Tender, But That Snake Waist Really Sways With Power! Poison Dragon: Purgatory Breath!

Dugu Bo took an excited step forward, arriving before Dugu Yan with a grin that stretched from ear to ear.

"Forty-nine! You've actually reached the peak of level forty-nine!"

"Just one step away from being a Spirit King!"

"And this spirit power is incredibly dense; there isn't a hint of instability!"

"Yan-Yan, our Dugu family has truly struck gold this time. Our ancestors are watching over us!"

Dugu Bo was dancing with excitement, preparing to pull his granddaughter aside to celebrate and check if she felt any discomfort.

"Yan-Yan, hurry and retract your martial soul, let Grandfather see your..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, Dugu Bo's voice came to an abrupt halt.

He watched as Dugu Yan, who had been standing perfectly fine just a moment ago, suddenly began to move without any warning.

Instead of retracting her martial soul, her slender, supple waist twisted in a bizarre, unnatural way to the left.

Immediately following that, she raised her arms, striking a strange pose that was both incredibly alluring and filled with a sense of raw power.

"Hm?"

Dugu Bo was stunned.

"Yan-Yan, are you... dancing to celebrate?"

"No, that's not it, Grandfather!"

Dugu Yan's pretty face was filled with terror.

She watched helplessly as her own right hand rose, gently stroking her collarbone before sliding down the line of her arm.

"My, my body... it's moving on its own!"

"I can't control my hands! Or my waist!"

Dugu Yan screamed in panic, but her body seemed to have a mind of its own.

On the scorched earth, she actually began to strut with a cat-like gait.

From time to time, she would twist that pulse-pounding snake-like waist.

The movements were somewhat stiff, yet they exuded an indescribable...

Seductiveness?

"Although this body is a bit delicate, this snake-waist really moves with spirit."

"Flexibility is a perfect score; it seems I'll be able to unlock quite a few high-difficulty maneuvers in the future."

At this moment, within Dugu Yan's Sea of Consciousness, Yu Nan was operating the body.

Like someone test-driving a new car, he twisted here and stretched there.

He completely ignored Dugu Bo's horrified expression and Dugu Yan's own terror.

"Hmm, the neural response speed is good, and the muscle coordination is perfect."

"As expected of a body modified by my Poison Dragon Origin."

Yu Nan nodded in satisfaction.

After this simple "limb test," Yu Nan had confirmed that he possessed absolute, top-level administrative rights over this body.

Whenever he wished, he could take over the account.

"Alright, test over."

Yu Nan looked at the grandfather and granddaughter outside, who were so frightened they were practically crashing, and decided that was enough.

If he kept playing around, this little girl Dugu Yan might end up with psychological trauma.

"I'll return the body to you first, let you two settle down and digest this massive surprise (shock)."

With a thought, Yu Nan instantly cut off his control over the body, his soul sinking back into the depths of the Sea of Consciousness.

Outside.

Dugu Yan, who had been uncontrollably twisting her waist, suddenly stiffened, and the sensation of being controlled vanished instantly.

"Hah... hah..."

Dugu Yan's legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground, gasping for air with cold sweat covering her forehead.

"It... it stopped?"

She touched her arms and legs, still shaken, confirming that control had truly returned to her own hands.

Dugu Bo was also completely bewildered, looking at his granddaughter.

"Yan-Yan, what was... what was that just now?"

"Could it be that your spirit power rose too quickly, causing a deviation in your cultivation?"

Dugu Yan shook her head in a daze; that sensation from just a moment ago had been too vivid, as if... another person were living inside her body.

But at this very moment, that feeling had vanished without a trace, as if it truly had been an illusion.

The grandfather and granddaughter exchanged a look, both seeing deep shock and lingering fear in each other's eyes.

Everything that had happened today was simply too intense.

From encountering a two-hundred-thousand-year-old fierce beast to the creature proactively offering a sacrifice, followed by the Martial Soul Evolution, the surge in soul power, and finally the loss of bodily control...

All of this required time to properly digest.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the raging waves in his heart.

Regardless of what that strange loss of control had been about, the tangible benefits before them were undeniable.

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter's brand-new vitality and spirit, his eyes filled with anticipation:

"Yanyan, although your soul power has skyrocketed, remember not to become complacent."

"Come, show Grandfather your soul skills."

"Especially... the skill granted to you by that hundred-thousand-year soul ring!"

When he said the words "hundred-thousand-year," Dugu Bo's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.

That was a legendary hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

Across the entire Douluo Continent, the number of Title Douluo who possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring could be counted on one's fingers, let alone the fact that Yanyan was only a Soul Ancestor!

"Mm!"

Dugu Yan nodded obediently.

Although the loss of control from earlier left her feeling somewhat fearful.

But the powerful strength surging within her body at this moment made her impatient to unleash it.

"Martial Soul, Avatar!"

Following a delicate shout.

Purple-gold light erupted once more, and the massive phantom of a Poison Dragon flickered into existence behind her.

Immediately after, two yellow, one purple, and one red!

Four soul rings rose slowly from beneath Dugu Yan's feet.

Especially that final fourth soul ring, blood-red and faintly shimmering with a purple-gold luster.

The moment it appeared, a terrifying, suffocating pressure swept across the entire area.

The scorched earth nearby, already in ruins, cracked inch by inch under this pressure!

"Fourth Soul Skill—"

Dugu Yan took a deep breath, and that scarlet soul ring suddenly flared with light.

"Poison Dragon: Purgatory Breath!"

ROAR—!!!

Accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar, the Poison Dragon phantom behind Dugu Yan suddenly opened its massive maw.

A purple-gold pillar of fire, two meters in diameter, shot out with a boom like a laser cannon!

BOOM!

Wherever the fire pillar passed, the air was instantly incinerated, emitting a piercing, explosive screech.

A boulder the size of a house not far away didn't even have the chance to shatter upon contact with the purple-gold fire pillar.

It simply melted silently like a candle into a pool of magma emitting toxic smoke!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

As the magma hit the ground, it continued to corrode the earth, burning a bottomless hole in the blink of an eye.

"Hiss—what an overbearing poisonous fire!"

Dugu Bo drew a sharp breath, his eyelids twitching wildly.

How could this be ordinary fire?

This was clearly dragon flame imbued with extreme corrosive poison!

To touch it was to die; to come into contact was to perish!

The power of this strike was such that even an ordinary Soul Emperor would likely not dare to take it head-on!

However, Dugu Yan's demonstration was not yet over.

A flush of excitement appeared on Dugu Yan's face as she looked at Dugu Bo and said:

"Grandfather, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring usually grants two soul skills."

"Aside from the offensive soul skill just now, this ring also gave me... a domain-type skill!"
