The Third Soul Ring, The Ninth Soul Ring (Seeking Collection, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Yu Tianshuo's third soul skill possessed two effects. The first granted him the attribute of Ultimate Earth; once he practiced it further, he should be able to wield it as naturally as his current Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Water.

The second ability was a conceptual skill: Earth Dragon Tyrant Body.

Its effect was to grant a period of invulnerability to both damage and crowd control.

The immunity to damage was similar to a Golden Invincible Body, but with a longer duration. Furthermore, the immunity to crowd control included binding, freezing, imprisonment, sealing, and more.

It was incredibly powerful and unreasonable. Even if one were beaten to the brink of death and had their soul power and martial soul sealed, they could still forcibly unleash a soul skill to break the seal without affecting the duration of the invulnerability.

This was the soul skill provided by the Earth Dragon King, and every one of them was peerlessly powerful.

Feeling his soul power reach level 35, Yu Tianshuo felt immensely satisfied.

As for why his soul power had only increased by five levels, it was because a new divine artifact was still gestating within his body, and the Firm Investment Device had also absorbed a portion of the soul power.

Otherwise, an event as significant as absorbing the Earth Dragon King should have resulted in one level gained for every level of the dragon's essence absorbed.

Before Yu Tianshuo could continue his train of thought, the commotion from Dugu Bo absorbing his soul ring successfully drew his attention.

He watched as Dugu Bo placed his hands upon the soul beast's forehead. The soul beast glowed with a brilliant red light, transforming into countless starlight motes that surged into Dugu Bo's body.

A bone emerged from the red light, heading straight for Dugu Bo's torso.

Once the red light dissipated, Dugu Bo released his martial soul and soul rings.

"Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!"

Title Douluo!

Dugu Bo had now become a true Title Douluo!

The transformation had not yet ended. Bulges appeared on the forehead of the martial soul phantom behind Dugu Bo, sprouting two dragon horns, while dragon legs grew from its abdomen.

Just as the changes were about to cease, Yu Tianshuo clutched his chest, extracted a drop of pure golden blood, and flicked it toward Dugu Bo's martial soul phantom.

The moment it made contact, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor erupted with a dazzling golden light once more.

This time, not only did the dragon horns and legs begin to thicken and lengthen, but the entire physique of the martial soul underwent a visible change.

The transformation lasted for nearly the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. When the golden light faded, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor... no! It should now be called the Jade Phosphor Dragon.

Dugu Bo exhaled a breath of turbid air, his entire spirit and vitality showing a marked change.

Just as Yu Tianshuo and Dugu Yuan were about to walk over to offer their congratulations, cracks appeared on Dugu Bo's face!

This left both of them shocked!

Dugu Yuan even shouted without thinking, "Holy crap! Old man! You're cracking up!!!"

The changes did not stop because of Dugu Yuan's shout; instead, alarming fissures appeared across Dugu Bo's face and hands.

With a loud "Crack!", Dugu Bo shattered right in front of them!

"Ahhhhhhh--!" x2

The pair's screams pierced through the space, causing the birds outside the area to scatter in terror.

Before they could continue screaming, a youthful voice emanated from the dragon body that was currently turning into fragments.

"What are you screaming for!? I've told you both so many times, you must remain vigilant in the wild..."

Only then did the speaker realize something was wrong.

As the fragments completely dissipated, a boy of about 12 or 13 years old stood where Dugu Bo had originally been.

Dugu Bo also realized something was amiss. He looked at his own youthful hands, then at his little disciple who had grown to 1.8 meters in two months, and his foolish son who was nearly two meters tall.

Dugu Bo fell into a stupor. He just stood there, abandoning all thought...

"Ahhhhhhh--!"

This time, it was Dugu Bo who was screaming.

"What is going on here!!!"

Dugu Bo screamed while glaring at the culprit who had likely caused all of this.

Yu Tianshuo: Oh no! It's coming for me!

Watching Dugu Bo march toward him aggressively, Yu Tianshuo frantically spun his clever brain.

He quickly came up with an explanation and coughed twice, gesturing for his master to wait a moment.

Just as he was about to speak, his master launched himself like a cannonball, slamming a rocket-headbutt into Yu Tianshuo's stomach.

This blow nearly made Yu Tianshuo vomit up the Earth Dragon King he had just consumed.

Without giving Yu Tianshuo a chance to speak, Dugu Bo charged at him again, starting a chaotic brawl.

Watching this scene, Dugu Yuan began to wonder if his old man had become childish along with his shrinking stature.

However, he revealed an evil smile, quietly creeping closer, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to kick his junior brother and settle the score for his running off earlier.

But the moment his foot was about to make contact, a hand grabbed his ankle.

Before he could even react, he had already appeared in the center of the battlefield.

It was a miserable sight.

Ever since Dugu Yuan had been dragged into this, he had become the sole punching bag; Yu Tianshuo and Dugu Bo stopped fighting each other and focused entirely on beating Dugu Yuan.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Dugu Yuan lay on the ground, his head covered in bumps, playing dead.

Dugu Bo had worked up a sweat and finally stopped, sitting on Dugu Yuan's back to rest.

Yu Tianshuo still gave his senior brother some face and didn't sit on him, choosing instead to sit cross-legged on the spot, waiting for his master to begin questioning or lecturing.

Once Dugu Bo had rested enough, he looked at Yu Tianshuo and asked.

"Do you know what's going on with me?"

As he spoke, he began to attempt Martial Soul Possession, sensing the power within his body.

Seeing his master ask, Yu Tianshuo voiced his own conjecture.

"Master, this phenomenon of returning to your youth is likely due to your Martial Soul Evolution, combined with that drop of my essence blood."

"This change was something I didn't expect either; I only added that drop of essence blood to make your evolution even more powerful."

After hearing Yu Tianshuo's hypothesis, Dugu Bo nodded, feeling that this was highly probable.

Since his doubts had been answered, it was now time to test his ninth soul skill.

Standing up from Dugu Yuan, he walked forward a hundred meters, and Dugu Bo unleashed his Martial Soul Possession.

This time, emerald green dragon scales grew all over Dugu Bo's body, dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, his stature grew taller, and a dragon tail and dragon wings emerged from his back.

From this, one could see just how perfect Dugu Bo's evolution was.

He was a complete dragon-type, with a bloodline strength that could even rival a Dragon King.

This made Dugu Yuan, who was peeking up, look on with burning eyes.

If his junior brother's essence blood had such miraculous effects when he was only a Soul Elder, he didn't even dare to imagine how strong he would be if his own martial soul evolved.

The test did not stop because of Dugu Yuan's foolish grin; Dugu Bo's expression turned serious as he released his ninth soul skill.

"Jade Phosphor Dragon's Wrath!"
