Dugu Xuan Breaks Through, Takes the Title Nine Nether? The 100,000-Year Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon Right Leg Bone!

"It worked!"

Dugu Ce's eyes narrowed.

"Master, do it!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo pressed down with his right hand. A gigantic golden crocodile claw appeared out of thin air and clamped firmly around the flood dragon's throat.

"Xuan, if you're not going to strike now, when will you?"

Dugu Xuan hesitated no longer. His Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul possessed him, and a beam of viridian poison pierced the flood dragon's head in an instant.

As the flood dragon's life ebbed away, a red Soul Ring slowly emerged.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring..."

Dugu Bo's voice trembled.

"I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a treasure with my own eyes."

"Grandpa, focus and absorb it.

With Master guarding you, no one can disturb you."

Dugu Ce reminded him solemnly.

Dugu Xuan nodded, sat cross-legged, and began drawing in the red Soul Ring.

While Dugu Xuan absorbed it, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Dugu Ce.

"Ce'er, once Xuan comes out of seclusion, shall we go straight to True Dragon Mountain?"

"No rush, Master."

A cruel smile curled Dugu Ce's lips.

"Let's go to Heaven Dou City first.

As I recall, Liu Erlong should have opened a Blue Tyrant Academy there by now.

First, we'll take the 'bait,' then wipe them out. That's how you strike at the heart."

"Haha, now that's what I call striking at the heart!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo clapped Dugu Ce on the shoulder.

"Yu Yuanzhen fancies himself the head of the true dragons.

Just imagine his face when he finds out his niece has become your 'medicine,' while the venomous bug he humiliated all those years ago has become a god he can't afford to provoke.

That 'little fellow' will have quite the expression."

Little fellow?

Dugu Ce's mouth twitched.

Fair enough. Only you, Master, the oldest person on the Douluo Continent, could call Yu Yuanzhen a 'little fellow.'

Dugu Bo listened from the side, his heart pounding, yet he couldn't help feeling immensely satisfied.

"Ce'er, your schemes are even more vicious than my poison.

But I like it!"

Dugu Ce stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the pool, gazing toward True Dragon Mountain. His voice was low and distant.

"Yu Yuanzhen, you owed my father a life. Now I'll make your whole family pay."

A while later, the red light surrounding Dugu Xuan gradually faded. He let out a long breath and rose to his feet.

Beneath him, his Soul Rings shifted slowly: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—a total of nine!

The pressure of his Soul Power, at rank 91, poured out without restraint!

More precisely, he was at the peak of rank 91!

He had only just absorbed the Soul Ring, and Dugu Xuan's Soul Power had already reached the threshold of rank 92.

If nothing unexpected happened, all he needed was to cultivate for a while longer before breaking through to rank 92.

"It worked!"

Dugu Bo's eyes brimmed with delight.

"Quick, check how your Martial Soul has changed!"

At Dugu Xuan's thought, the enormous shadow of a Jade Phosphorous Serpent appeared. A layer of purple-gold radiance now shone across its formerly emerald scales.

A single horn had also sprouted from its forehead, radiating the majesty of an emperor.

Dugu Bo was delighted.

Now, across the entire Douluo Continent, the only people with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul were Dugu Bo, Dugu Ce, and Dugu Xuan.

But in terms of bloodline...

Dugu Xuan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was the strongest, with a true dragon bloodline.

Dugu Xuan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor came next, with the flood dragon bloodline of the Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon.

Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor bloodline was the weakest.

He was merely a Serpent Emperor.

"My Martial Soul evolved! It's the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!"

Dugu Ce exclaimed in delight.

"Grandpa, how do you feel?"

"Better than ever!"

Dugu Xuan clenched his fist.

The serpent poison that had plagued Dugu Xuan for years had been thoroughly suppressed in his dantian by the vast Soul Power of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Following Dugu Bo's experience, he had even condensed a Poison Pill.

"The energy in this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring didn't just help me break through my bottleneck. It also renewed my vitality!"

"Good, good!"

Dugu Bo slapped his thigh and roared with laughter.

"Xuan, now that you've become a Titled Douluo, have you chosen your title?"

Dugu Xuan looked at the flood dragon's corpse by the pool and pondered for a moment.

"This Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon helped me defy fate and change my life. I'll take the title 'Nine Nether.'

"From this day forth, I am Nine Nether Douluo!"

It wasn't that Dugu Xuan hadn't considered taking 'Jade Scale,' from the Dugu Family's signature Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, as his title.

When Dugu Bo had first broken through to become a Titled Douluo, he had chosen 'Jade Scale' as his title.

But later, Dugu Bo decided that Poison was a good title too, and simply started calling himself Poison Douluo.

As a result, people now had two names for Dugu Bo.

'Jade Scale Douluo' and 'Poison Douluo.'

"Nine Nether Douluo. Now that's imposing!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo gave a slight nod, then his gaze sharpened.

His right hand transformed into a gigantic golden crocodile claw made of Soul Power, which plunged into the flood dragon's remains.

With an ear-splitting scrape of bone against bone, Golden Crocodile Douluo pulled out a leg bone radiating a rich red glow.

"Just as expected—a Hundred Thousand Year Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon Right Leg Bone."

Seeing it, Dugu Xuan was about to ask if Golden Crocodile Douluo would keep the Soul Bone.

But Golden Crocodile Douluo casually waved his hand, and the precious Soul Bone landed right in front of him.

"Second Worship, this..."

Dugu Xuan was stunned.

"Take it."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said calmly.

"I absorbed a ninety-thousand-year right leg bone long ago. This thing would merely be the icing on the cake for me.

"But for you, it would truly remake you from the ground up."

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Dugu Ce, a glint of meaning in his eyes.

"Ce'er is right. If we're going to settle the score, we need to make a grand entrance.

"You've only just broken through, and your aura is still unstable. Refine this Soul Bone at once, and you'll secure your standing as a Titled Douluo."

"Thank you for making this possible, Master!"

Dugu Ce bowed on his grandfather's behalf.

Dugu Xuan stopped refusing and took the Soul Bone, resolve shining in his eyes.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony!

"Once I've refined it, we'll head to Heaven Dou City.

"First, we'll take Liu Erlong, then go to True Dragon Mountain and flatten the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

Dugu Ce had no interest in this right leg bone, either.

The Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone hidden away by Tang Hao was his real target!

It had a heaven-defying healing ability, enough to bring the dead back to life.

As for the second 'flight' Soul Skill Tang San had gained after refining it in the original story?

There was no need to worry about that at all.

The same Soul Bone could grant different Soul Skills to different Soul Masters.

Tang San gained a flight Soul Skill after refining it because neither of his Martial Souls could fly.

But Dugu Ce's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul and Radiant Sacred Dragon Martial Soul could both fly.

So there was no need to worry that refining the Soul Bone would give him a useless flight Soul Skill.

Dugu Xuan immediately held his breath, pressed the red-glowing leg bone, wreathed in overwhelming blood-red energy, against his right leg, and began guiding its vast energy into his marrow.

Dugu Bo guarded his elder brother from the side, then turned to Dugu Ce with a puzzled look.

"Ce'er, earlier, when you handed out the Immortal Herbs, even your grandfather and I benefited greatly.

"When do you plan to use the few you set aside for yourself?"
