Douluo: Breathing Makes Me Stronger, Tang San Was Terrified!

Then she covered her face and walked off to the side.

Dugu Bo strode forward and stood in front of Dugu Yan, glaring at Lu Chen with extreme vigilance as he hurriedly changed the subject:

"Brother Lan... forget it. Looking at such a young face, I can no longer bring myself to call you little brother."

"Lan Chen, you actually succeeded in absorbing that eighty-thousand-year Spirit Ring. Congratulations. How is the actual effect? Are you confident you can support me in a fight against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo?"

After a brief hesitation, Lu Chen answered frankly:

"It shouldn't be a problem. This Blue Silver King Spirit Ring not only evolved my Martial Soul from the Blue Silver King to the Blue Silver Emperor, but also unlocked the Martial Soul Avatar skill most suited to me."

"After using Blue Silver True Form, my first six spirit skills can be boosted by one hundred percent, greatly enhancing my support abilities. It can also turn me into the Blue Silver Emperor, while every Blue Silver Emperor present can become a host body for me to evade enemy attacks."

"Combined with the power of my domain, I can assimilate any Blue Silver Grass into a Blue Silver Emperor. In other words, if I use my Martial Soul Avatar within the Blue Silver Domain, I can truly be everywhere."

"If enemies want to kill me, they must destroy every Blue Silver Grass on the scene. Naturally, during that process, I can also accelerate the growth of Blue Silver Grass."

"That completes the cycle. Unless someone has a large-scale attack skill capable of wiping out all the Blue Silver Grass in one go, small-scale destruction cannot keep up with how quickly I can grow more Blue Silver Grass."

"If we encounter Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, I'll activate Blue Silver True Form and hide while supporting Brother Dugu with everything I have. Truly defeating them may be difficult, but they won't be able to defeat you easily either. I'm confident about that."

"Additionally, my Blue Silver Domain has gained a new ability: All-Encompassing Forest. It can boost me by twenty percent and weaken enemies by twenty percent."

"That is only the most basic effect. In places rich in Blue Silver Grass, such as forests or grasslands, I can draw upon the power of Blue Silver Grass to further increase my boost and the suppression on my enemies, reaching thirty percent, fifty percent, eighty percent... even one hundred percent!"

Blue Silver King Right Arm Bone

Dugu Bo listened with a shocked expression, repeatedly drawing in sharp breaths.

Even he was deeply astonished by the terrifying effect of this Martial Soul Avatar.

He inwardly sighed. As expected of a Spirit Ring over eighty thousand years old. On an ordinary Titled Douluo, it would have been more than sufficient even as a Ninth Spirit Ring.

Now that it had been placed in the Seventh Spirit Ring position, its value had been fully brought out.

Dugu Bo gave Lu Chen a meaningful look.

"With such a terrifying Martial Soul Avatar skill, you could have kept it as your trump card. Yet you are willing to tell us its effects truthfully. That shows your trust in us, and we will not betray that trust."

"Lan Chen, your disguise has already been exposed. You no longer need to disguise yourself before us, and we will not harm you. But once you go outside, you must still conceal yourself properly."

"After all, you are too young. You look no older than Yanyan. A Seven-Ring Soul Sage at such an age, with support abilities this heaven-defying... many people will not be willing to watch you rise."

"After Yanyan and I leave, we will act as if we know nothing of what you said today. Your Martial Soul Avatar and Domain Ability are both trump cards that can save your life. Do not expose them carelessly in the future."

"Our purpose in coming here has more or less been achieved. If there is nothing else, we can leave."

Hearing Dugu Bo's heartfelt words, Lu Chen smiled as well.

The effects of his Martial Soul Avatar and domain were both trump cards. Under ordinary circumstances, he would not have been willing to reveal them.

However, he had only been able to kill the Blue Silver King because Dugu Bo had helped exhaust its life force, allowing him to seize the opportunity.

Taking that into account, Lu Chen had truthfully told Dugu Bo about the effects of his Martial Soul Avatar.

It was normal to maintain some caution when first meeting someone.

But now that their interests were tied together, they should trade sincerity for sincerity in order to deepen their relationship further.

Judging from the results, it had worked very well.

Dugu Bo was considering him in every matter. He truly regarded Lu Chen as a brother and a friend.

Lu Chen then turned toward the Blue Silver King's remains, his voice low and firm.

"Now is not the time to leave. This eighty-five-thousand-year Blue Silver King has left behind another treasure."

At those words, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious. He had hunted Spirit Beasts more than once. Besides Spirit Rings, the treasures Spirit Beasts could provide also included... Spirit Bones!

Dugu Bo drew a deep breath. Even for a Titled Douluo like him, an eighty-five-thousand-year Spirit Bone made his heart pound.

After a long while, Dugu Bo suddenly turned around, grabbed Dugu Yan, and walked toward the edge of the forest. As he walked, he said:

"Lan Chen, Yanyan and I will head out first. We know nothing. Once you finish dealing with things here, come find us outside the forest."

A high-quality Spirit Bone was an incomparable temptation to anyone.

Dugu Bo could not stop his heart from stirring either, but he valued Lu Chen more. So he simply chose to keep his eyes out of it.

He pulled Dugu Yan toward the edge of the forest. No matter what Spirit Bone Lu Chen uncovered, Dugu Bo did not want to know.

Only then could he restrain the greed in his heart.

Watching Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's departing backs, Lu Chen's brows relaxed, and he could not help praising Dugu Bo's wisdom inwardly.

Once Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had completely vanished into the forest, Lu Chen immediately ran toward the Blue Silver King's remains.

With a flick of his hand, he summoned his Second Martial Soul, the Black Iron Sickle. Holding it tightly, Lu Chen chopped at the Blue Silver King's remains.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As wood chips flew everywhere, a huge opening was carved into the Blue Silver King's remains.

In an instant, a rich blue glow shone out from within that opening.

Seeing this, Lu Chen held his breath. With excitement in his heart, he reached into the opening and pulled out a palm-sized Right Arm Bone.

The Blue Silver King had possessed cultivation of as much as eighty-five thousand years, so the quality of this Right Arm Bone it produced was exceptionally high.

This Right Arm Bone was remarkably complete. It radiated abundant energy fluctuations, along with a life aura that refreshed the mind.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up as he thought:

This Spirit Bone is of extremely high quality, and it was produced by the Blue Silver King as well. A Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone from the same Spirit Beast can only produce their greatest effect when they are on the same person.

To me, this Spirit Bone is no less valuable than a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone. The difference may only be that this one has a single skill, while a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone has two.

I should absorb it now, before anything unexpected happens. I hope this Spirit Bone gives me a good skill. Blue Silver Overlord Spear would be ideal. Then I would finally have a real offensive skill.

My Soul Power had originally been at level seventy. After absorbing the Blue Silver King's Spirit Ring, I broke through to level seventy-two in one stroke. If I absorb the Blue Silver King's Spirit Bone now, it will definitely bring me a considerable increase as well.

With that thought, Lu Chen immediately sat down cross-legged and pressed the Blue Silver King Right Arm Bone against his right arm.

As he poured Soul Power into the Right Arm Bone, it instantly burst into light.

Within the brilliant blue radiance, the Right Arm Bone vaporized into countless streams of blue energy. Drawn by Lu Chen's Soul Power, those countless streams surged toward his right arm.

Lu Chen felt his entire right arm enveloped by a warm energy.

That energy was incredibly gentle, like a trickling stream, nourishing the skin, muscles, meridians, and bones of his right arm... until it finally fused completely with his whole arm.

During that process, the energy also merged with his Soul Power, causing it to rise rapidly as though it were riding a rocket.

What was even more wonderful was that the Seventh Spirit Ring of Lu Chen's Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and this Spirit Bone both came from the same Spirit Beast: the Blue Silver King.

As he absorbed the Spirit Bone's energy, the Blue Silver King's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone resonated. The two energies of the same origin blended seamlessly, making the absorption process exceptionally smooth.

It took only around five hours for Lu Chen to absorb all the Spirit Bone's energy.

He opened his deep blue eyes, surprise flashing within them, and could not help laughing.

"Ha ha, as expected, only absorbing a Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone together can bring out the greatest effect. My Soul Power directly broke through from level seventy-two to level seventy-five."

"I'm a Soul Sage. A single Spirit Bone alone certainly could not have raised my Soul Power by three levels. It was the resonance between the Blue Silver King's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone that gave me such enormous benefits during the absorption process, letting me break through three levels at once."

"And this skill did not disappoint me either. Blue Silver Overlord Spear. I finally have my own offensive skill now."

"I am originally a Support Spirit Master. Thanks to the entangling ability of my plant Martial Soul, I can also fill in as a control-type Spirit Master. Now that I have Blue Silver Overlord Spear, I can even fill in as a power attack-type Spirit Master."

"With this, I no longer have any obvious weaknesses!"

Taking a Distant Look at Holy Soul Village

After absorbing the Spirit Bone, Lu Chen leaped to his feet and casually looked down at himself. His once neatly fitted clothes were now loose and sagging.

Lu Chen shook his head with a helpless smile.

"It seems that when I absorbed the Spirit Ring earlier, the massive energy inflated my body like a ball and tore my clothes apart at that time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen casually tore off his clothes, then took out a new set from his Storage Soul Guidance Device and put them on.

Once he was properly dressed, it was time to disguise himself again.

"I definitely cannot use that face from before. This time, I need a new appearance. As for my hair, it changed from black to blue before. Now, it will change from blue back to black."

Lu Chen then activated the Blue Silver Domain and used its disguise ability to alter his appearance once more.

His azure-blue hair turned jet-black amid a burst of light.

His young, handsome face also changed amid the light, becoming the plain, ordinary face of a middle-aged man whom no one had ever seen before.

Lu Chen was quite satisfied with this.

"A ten-year-old Seven-Ring Soul Sage would be enough to shock the entire continent. A thirty-year-old Seven-Ring Soul Sage would not stand out nearly as much..."

His gaze then swept across the surroundings.

"During the battle earlier, these Blue Silver Grass subjects gave me quite a bit of help. Now that my Blue Silver King Martial Soul has evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, I should show them some appreciation."

The next instant, under the continuous infusion of his spiritual power, his Blue Silver Domain rapidly spread in every direction.

In just a few breaths, it encompassed all the Blue Silver Grass in the entire Blue Silver Forest.

"All-Encompassing Forest!"

Lu Chen softly uttered the words, and immediately, all the Blue Silver Grass throughout the Blue Silver Forest was forcibly assimilated by his Blue Silver Domain into Blue Silver Emperors.

Whether ten-year Blue Silver Grass, hundred-year Blue Silver Grass, or thousand-year Blue Silver Grass... all of it became Blue Silver Emperors at that moment, as if they had swallowed some miraculous tonic. One after another, they began growing wildly, becoming taller and stronger.

Naturally, this assimilation was temporary.

Once Lu Chen withdrew his Blue Silver Domain, these assimilated Blue Silver Emperors would instantly revert to their original forms and become ordinary Blue Silver Grass again.

However, there was countless Blue Silver Grass across the continent. Being able to experience becoming Blue Silver Emperors ahead of time would bring nothing but benefits to their future growth and evolution.

All the "Blue Silver Emperors" throughout the Blue Silver Forest were cheering and rejoicing. Their emperor had shown them the path of evolution.

At the same time, outside the Blue Silver Forest!

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan suddenly discovered that the entire Blue Silver Forest seemed to have come alive. Accompanied by rustling sounds, the wildly growing Blue Silver Branches even spread beyond the forest.

Dugu Yan grew somewhat nervous at the sight.

"Grandfather, this is?"

Dugu Bo remained very calm.

"Don't be nervous. Lan Chen must have caused this. Perhaps he is testing a newly acquired ability!"

Although Dugu Bo spoke casually, he still took Dugu Yan farther away to avoid the wildly growing Blue Silver Branches suddenly attacking them.

About half an hour later, the wildly growing Blue Silver Branches shrank back into the forest one by one.

Then an unfamiliar figure emerged from the Blue Silver Forest. From afar, he waved at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"Brother Dugu, Yanyan, don't be nervous. It's me!"

Looking at Lu Chen, who had changed his face, Dugu Bo clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Lan Chen, your disguise ability is getting better and better. Even I can no longer see any flaws in your face."

"If you were not the only person inside this Blue Silver Forest, I would not dare believe that you were Lan Chen."

Dugu Yan looked Lu Chen up and down a few times, then immediately curled her lips. With Lan Chen now wearing the plain, ordinary face of a middle-aged man, not the slightest ripple stirred in her heart.

With her hands on her hips, she spoke in a regretful tone.

"Lan Chen, we have already seen your true face. Why do you still need to disguise yourself in front of us?"

Dugu Yan no longer called him "Grandpa Lan Chen." She simply called him "Lan Chen."

Lu Chen smiled.

"A man's talents are his own crime. My talent itself is an original sin. Brother Dugu, Yanyan, it is enough that you know my true appearance. If I am to travel the continent in the future, changing my identity and appearance will be unavoidable."

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, every inch of him radiating the bearing of an expert. Light flashed in his eyes as he said:

"It is right to be cautious, but there is no need to be overly timid. You are now a Support Soul Sage. With your support, I am confident I can fight most Titled Douluo on the continent."

"On the way back, we can act openly and freely. Even if we draw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo over, at worst we will fight them. It will be a good chance to let them know that I, Dugu Bo, am not someone to be trifled with."

As the three spoke, Dugu Bo grabbed Lu Chen with one hand and Dugu Yan with the other. His figure flashed, and they shot into the sky, rapidly flying toward the distant horizon.

The Blue Silver Forest was located within the Border Mountains, not far from Notting City.
