Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Evolves, Joins Martial Soul Hall

"The Earth Dragon Golden Melon contains a trace of dragon aura."

Ye Guyue's words were highly persuasive.

Dugu Xin took a deep breath, instantly feeling his body become incredibly comfortable, his entire being refreshed and invigorated.

"Ninety-nine percent purity, a rare treasure."

Seeing Dugu Xin looking so comfortable, Dugu Bo hurriedly pressed, "Your Highness the Holy Son, since the Earth Dragon Golden Melon contains a trace of dragon aura, what is its specific function?"

"It solidifies the foundation and cultivates the essence, mending defects in one's roots."

"It can increase your Soul Power Level and break through bottlenecks."

"I presume you, Dugu Bo, are currently stuck at the Soul Douluo rank. By consuming this, you might just be able to advance to the Title Douluo realm."

"When that time comes, return to Martial Soul Hall with me, and I shall have the teacher arrange for two people to assist you in hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Going to the Star Dou Great Forest again would be a massive headache; at the very least, he had to ensure Dong'er stayed out of sight.

If Gu Yuena were to discover them, the consequences would be unimaginable. In the worst-case scenario, he would be forced to participate in the nurturing of life day and night.

"Simply consume it and refine the medicinal power. If you trust me, Dugu Bo, you can give it a try."

Ye Guyue explained, the logic being quite simple: swallow it and refine it.

Dugu Bo hardened his heart. "Very well, I trust Your Highness the Holy Son."

Since he had encountered Ye Guyue, it meant they were fated. Moreover, having made no progress in breaking through to Title Douluo for so long, he might as well trust Ye Guyue.

Dugu Bo began to eat the Earth Dragon Golden Melon bite by bite. Once the entire thing was consumed, the medicinal power began to flood his meridians.

The toxins that had been clogging his body seemed to be clearing away.

Dugu Bo was overjoyed. He sat cross-legged and began to circulate his soul power, absorbing the medicinal energy within.

Taking advantage of the interval, Ye Guyue finished the fish in his hand and stopped watching Dugu Bo.

Just as he wanted to stretch his limbs, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around him from behind, beginning to wander restlessly.

"Dong'er!"

Ye Guyue was extremely annoyed. He glanced at the surroundings—aside from Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin, there was no one else—and immediately set up a barrier, shrouding their conversation within it.

"Don't be so loud, Senior Sister." Bibi Dong giggled. "Dong'er can't help it. Does Senior Sister want to try that soul-stirring feeling? Dong'er can satisfy you."

Ye Guyue grabbed Bibi Dong's wrists, forcibly pulled them away, and turned to hold her in his arms.

"Dong'er, stop messing around. This Humble One's patience is limited. If you dare to act recklessly again, don't blame this Humble One for being impolite," Ye Guyue warned sternly.

"How will you be impolite? Come on, Dong'er isn't afraid. If you're a man, then take me right here and now."

Bibi Dong's face was full of provocation, not caring in the least.

"You." Ye Guyue's face turned livid with anger. "You are unreasonable."

"If you don't dare, just say so. Why make excuses? Coward, hahaha." Bibi Dong laughed heartily.

"If it weren't for Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin, Dong'er would really like to taste the thrill of the wild."

Bibi Dong swallowed hard. "Doesn't Senior Sister want to?"

"Want your head. I shouldn't have brought you out; you have no sense of propriety day in and day out," Ye Guyue grumbled.

Bibi Dong chuckled. "Who told you to be the best, Senior Sister? Am I right?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong's palm grabbed Ye Guyue's small, exquisite jade-like foot, gently caressing it, her fingers wandering over the sole.

"Ah~" Ye Guyue shrieked, immediately glaring at Bibi Dong, his face full of indignation.

"Don't you know that this Senior Sister is ticklish?"

Bibi Dong feigned innocence. "I just wanted to give Senior Sister a massage."

Ye Guyue gritted his teeth in anger. "Who massages like that?"

Bibi Dong didn't dare continue. She had only been testing him to confirm that Ye Guyue was truly ticklish. Satisfied, she withdrew her hand. Furthermore, she increasingly wanted to drag this arrogant Ye Guyue into the abyss to enjoy sensations he had never experienced before.

She was doing this to save Ye Guyue's blockheaded brain; practicing with the seven Elders every day was just too dull.

The more she thought about it, the more excited Bibi Dong became, looking forward to future developments.

Standing where he was, Dugu Xin was very curious about what the two were discussing, but with the barrier in place, he couldn't hear a single sound.

Time passed in a flash.

Two hours later, the aura of Dugu Bo, who had been sitting cross-legged, began to rise sharply.

Emerald-green soul power surged into the sky. His Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul manifested automatically, a serpent body dozens of meters long coiling in the air, its scales shimmering with a cold, eerie light.

The dragon aura of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon surged within his body. A pair of earthy-yellow dragon horns slowly grew from the original serpent head, four sharp claws sprouted from its abdomen, and the serpent scales transformed into dragon scales marked with gold.

A deafening dragon roar echoed through the mountains and forests. Dugu Bo's soul power skyrocketed, breaking through the Soul Douluo bottleneck and reaching the Title Douluo realm.

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the unprecedented power within his body and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom that had been more than half suppressed. He trembled with excitement.

"I have broken through."

"My martial soul has also evolved."

Dugu Bo was ecstatic, throwing his head back and laughing wildly toward the sky.

"Many thanks, Your Highness the Holy Son! This old man... this old man has finally broken through to become a Titled Douluo!"

Dugu Bo bowed deeply to Ye Guyue, his tone brimming with gratitude.

The bottleneck and lethal toxins that had plagued the Dugu family for generations had been resolved just like that by a single Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised; she leaned in close to Ye Guyue and whispered:

"Senior Sister, how did you know this immortal herb would be the perfect match for the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor? It even managed to draw out dragon energy to trigger the serpent's transformation into a dragon."

Ye Guyue gave a light huff and turned his face away: "Mind your own business."

He knew clearly that it was the medicinal efficacy of the immortal herb, but he simply couldn't be bothered to explain it to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong chuckled, and while Ye Guyue wasn't paying attention, she quickly stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"I just knew Senior Sister was the best, I love you to death."

Ye Guyue remained aloof, though his face flushed slightly. He reached out to rap her on the head, but Bibi Dong laughed and dodged to the side, sticking her tongue out at him.

"Restrain yourself." Ye Guyue said in a low voice.

Immediately after, Ye Guyue looked at Dugu Xin: "Dugu Xin, you should consume yours as well."

"Yes."

Dugu Xin immediately imitated Dugu Bo, swallowing the Earth Dragon Golden Melon bite by bite.

Dugu Xin's toxins were not as severe as Dugu Bo's, so the process only lasted an hour, but his original Jade Phosphorous Serpent also transformed into a dragon.

However, compared to Dugu Bo's second Martial Soul Evolution, Dugu Xin's first evolution appeared slightly inferior.

"Dugu Bo's Martial Soul underwent a second evolution, which can be considered a Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon, while yours, Dugu Xin, seems to only count as a Jade Phosphorous Dragon, unless it evolves again into a Jade Phosphorous Dragon Emperor."

Ye Guyue said indifferently.

A single evolution compared to a double evolution naturally had a vast difference in value.

Dugu Xin cupped his hands in a salute: "Thank you, Holy Son. I am already very satisfied. Besides, I had been stuck at the Spirit King realm for a long time, and now I have broken through to become a Spirit Emperor."

Ye Guyue nodded slightly: "That is good. You two shall accompany me to Martial Soul Hall."

Ye Guyue stood up, and his Radiant Holy Dragon martial soul manifested. The golden holy dragon made Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin feel a sense of suppression.

What a powerful sense of oppression. Dugu Bo thought to himself.

Ye Guyue took Bibi Dong's hand and leaped onto the back of the Radiant Holy Dragon, with Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin following closely behind.

The next moment, the Radiant Holy Dragon soared into the sky, heading toward Martial Soul Hall.

Upon arriving at Martial Soul Hall, Ye Guyue headed straight for the Pope Palace, encountering Yue Guan and Gui Mei on the way, who were also heading there.

"Little Poisonous, it's actually you."

Seeing Dugu Bo following Ye Guyue, Yue Guan was the first to react.

Gui Mei paused: "It really is Dugu Bo."

He was even accompanied by Dugu Xin; the whole family had come. Previously, when they went to recruit him, he had been full of reluctance, so why was he following the Holy Son now?

"Your whole family is 'Little Poisonous,' you're the one who's 'Little Chrysanthemum!'" Dugu Bo bristled with rage.

Yue Guan chuckled: "Don't be impulsive, Little Poisonous. Besides, I am quite satisfied with you calling me Little Chrysanthemum."

Dugu Bo looked at him with utter disgust: "Get lost, get lost, get lost."

Yue Guan didn't continue the banter, instead turning to the matter at hand: "You've come with the Holy Son—have you been subdued by him?"

Dugu Bo said coldly: "The Holy Son is a benefactor to this Dugu Bo."

"A benefactor?" Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, their curiosity deepening. What kind of method had the Holy Son used to make the proud and aloof Dugu Bo so submissive?

"Elder Yue, I helped them resolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent toxin that had plagued them for so long."

Yue Guan suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. No wonder Dugu Bo would yield."
