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

Dugu Yan revealed a thoughtful expression, seriously considering the suggestion.

Lu Chen spoke up as well:

"Brother Dugu, your Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, while Yanyan's Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphorus Dragon. Your experience with absorbing Spirit Rings doesn't need to be completely copied by her."

"The Heavenly Gang Centipede would certainly strengthen her venomous attributes and could also grant her an excellent defensive Spirit Skill, but it might not necessarily suit Yanyan right now."

"Yanyan's development can continue in the direction of Dragon Transformation. For this Fifth Spirit Ring, it would be better to choose a Spirit Beast with dragon bloodline."

"In my opinion, the future potential of Dragon Transformation is definitely greater than that of developing poisonous attributes."

At those words, Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Chen. She did not hesitate for long before immediately nodding in agreement.

"I also think Lan Chen is right. If I absorb a Spirit Ring from a Spirit Beast with dragon bloodline, it might allow my Jade Phosphorus Dragon Martial Soul to evolve into something even stronger and more perfect."

"That would be more meaningful than absorbing a poisonous Spirit Beast's Spirit Ring to enhance my venomous attributes."

"I've decided. My Fifth Spirit Ring will come from a Spirit Beast with dragon bloodline."

With just a few words between Lu Chen and Dugu Yan, the direction for Dugu Yan's Fifth Spirit Ring had been decided.

Although Dugu Bo also felt that Lu Chen made sense, seeing his granddaughter trust Lu Chen so completely still made him feel rather upset.

He sighed inwardly. Now that his granddaughter had grown up, she truly was no longer close to her grandfather!

A grown daughter could not be kept at home!

In the end, Dugu Bo did not raise any objections.

"Since you have already discussed it, this old man has nothing to oppose. Yanyan's Fifth Spirit Ring will be chosen from a Spirit Beast with dragon bloodline."

Seeing that all three had reached an agreement, Lu Chen fully spread out his Blue Silver Domain and prepared to search Sunset Forest for a Spirit Beast with dragon bloodline and suitable cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, with Lu Chen's spiritual power, the expansion limit of his Blue Silver Domain was fifteen hundred meters.

However, in places like forests and grasslands where Blue Silver Grass grew abundantly, the Blue Silver Domain's range of expansion was practically limitless.

The consumption from expanding Lu Chen's Blue Silver Domain would be shared by all the Blue Silver Grass within its range.

That was why Lu Chen's Blue Silver Domain could directly cover an entire forest.

Before long, Lu Chen's Blue Silver Domain had covered all of Sunset Forest.

Every stalk of Blue Silver Grass in Sunset Forest cheered excitedly, bending slightly toward Lu Chen as though worshipping him.

Lu Chen immediately gave the order to find a Spirit Beast between ten thousand and twenty thousand years old that possessed dragon bloodline.

Upon receiving the command, all the Blue Silver Grass sprang into action. Countless pieces of information rapidly converged, and the details of Spirit Beasts that met the requirements were transmitted into Lu Chen's mind one after another.

"Found it. That's the one!"

Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Through the information reported by the countless stalks of Blue Silver Grass, he quickly locked onto a Spirit Beast that met the requirements.

"Brother Dugu, Yanyan, hurry and follow me."

After saying that, Lu Chen took the lead and rushed toward a certain direction in the forest.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo could not help but reveal a pleased expression. He inwardly marveled at how convenient Lu Chen's Domain Ability was.

He then grabbed Dugu Yan by the shoulder and brought her along behind Lu Chen as they hurried forward together.

About twenty minutes later, Lu Chen led Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to their destination.

In the clearing before them was an enormous creature leisurely basking in the sun.

The massive creature was nearly ten meters long. Its body was covered in thick scales, its limbs were sturdy, and a row of Sword Spines stretched along its back from its head to its tail.

Earth Dragon-Armored Beast!

This was a draconic Spirit Beast with some dragon bloodline. Its thick armor granted it an impregnable defense.

Of course, its offensive ability was no weaker than its defensive ability.

The razor-sharp row of Sword Spines on its back was its most powerful weapon, enough to tear apart the flesh of any Spirit Beast.

Lu Chen said to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan:

"I think this Earth Dragon-Armored Beast fits Yanyan's requirements very well. Its cultivation is just a little too high, at around twenty thousand years."

"But it should still be within Yanyan's absorption limit. Yanyan has eaten a Dragon Origin Fruit and absorbed a fifty-thousand-year Spirit Bone, which has greatly increased her body's endurance."

"As for the spiritual impact, the remaining dragon's might from the Dragon Origin Fruit should be enough to keep the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast's remnant soul from acting recklessly."

"Brother Dugu, Yanyan, do you think this will work?"

Jade Phosphorus Dragon Armor Shield

After hearing Lu Chen's introduction, Dugu Bo frowned. Out of concern for Dugu Yan, he did not want her to absorb the Spirit Ring of this twenty-thousand-year Earth Dragon-Armored Beast.

It was simply too dangerous!

For an ordinary Spirit Master, the body's absorption limit for a Fifth Spirit Ring was at most twelve thousand years.

Beyond that limit, absorbing a Spirit Ring would be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, many Spirit Masters who could not find a suitable ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring for their Fifth Spirit Ring would rather absorb one from eight or nine thousand years than exceed the limit and absorb one over twelve thousand years.

Because that was gambling with their lives!

For a prospective Soul King, only by staying alive could one speak of the future.

Dugu Bo could not help but say solemnly:

"Wouldn't this be too dangerous? A twenty-thousand-year Spirit Ring would be more than enough even as a Sixth Spirit Ring."

"Yanyan, how about we keep looking? We can definitely find another Spirit Beast with dragon bloodline."

Dugu Yan hesitated for only a moment before completely making up her mind. She spoke firmly:

"Grandpa, I think I can absorb this twenty-thousand-year Spirit Ring. My Fourth Spirit Ring was an eight-thousand-year Spirit Ring that I absorbed beyond my limit. My Fifth Spirit Ring can definitely be a twenty-thousand-year Spirit Ring absorbed beyond my limit as well."

Hearing Dugu Yan's determined words, Lu Chen revealed an approving expression. He smiled faintly and said:

"Yanyan, that's the spirit. I believe you will definitely succeed."

"I can guarantee that even if your absorption fails, your life will absolutely not be in danger. My Sixth Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Will, can save your life at the critical moment."

"The process may be painful, but as long as you successfully absorb this twenty-thousand-year Spirit Ring, it will be greatly beneficial to your future."

Receiving Lu Chen's praise, Dugu Yan became even more confident, looking as though she were certain she would successfully absorb the Spirit Ring.

Only Dugu Bo still wore a worried expression. Even if he wanted to stop her, Dugu Yan would not listen to him now.

Now, Dugu Yan only listened to that little blue-haired brat, Lu Chen.

The more Dugu Bo looked at Lu Chen, the angrier he became.

At the same time, Lu Chen made his move!

"All-Encompassing Forest!"

As Lu Chen unleashed the power of All-Encompassing Forest, a blue radiance rapidly spread outward, assimilating all the Blue Silver Grass around them into Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor plants grew wildly. Within only a few breaths, the forest had been transformed into a Blue Silver Forest.

The Earth Dragon-Armored Beast, which had been leisurely basking in the sun, was startled by the commotion. It swiftly rose to its feet and assumed an attacking stance.

"Roar!"

The Earth Dragon-Armored Beast let out an enraged roar. Its beastly eyes, filled with ferocity, swept over its surroundings, while the row of Sword Spines on its back stood tall in an attempt to intimidate the enemy hidden nearby.

Lu Chen was not intimidated. He waved his hand forward.

"Go!"

In an instant, countless Blue Silver Branches shot out from the Blue Silver Forest in every direction.

Each Blue Silver Branch was as thick as an adult's arm. Like enormous snakes and pythons, they coiled toward the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast.

Naturally, the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast would not surrender without resistance. It let out a thunderous roar, then used its claws, fangs, and the Sword Spines on its back to tear apart the Blue Silver Branches winding toward it.

Crack! Crack!

This twenty-thousand-year Earth Dragon-Armored Beast truly possessed extraordinary strength, and it quickly tore apart a large number of Blue Silver Branches.

However, for every Blue Silver Branch it tore apart, Lu Chen stimulated ten more to grow. Countless Blue Silver Branches almost completely submerged its enormous body.

In about three minutes, the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast had been bound into a tight bundle by densely packed Blue Silver Branches.

"Roar..."

No matter how the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast roared or struggled, it was all futile.

Seeing this, Lu Chen gestured forward.

"Retrieve!"

At once, the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast, bound like a bundle, was dragged before Lu Chen and the others.

Lu Chen turned to Dugu Yan.

"Yanyan, go kill this Spirit Beast."

Dugu Yan nodded seriously.

"I understand."

Immediately afterward, Dugu Yan used Martial Soul Possession. A layer of jade-green Dragon Scale Battle Armor covered her entire body, and four Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—rose from beneath her feet.

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphorus Poison Arrow Rain!"

As Dugu Yan's Fourth Spirit Ring lit up, Soul Power continuously surged out from her body, rapidly forming dozens of poison arrows.

The next instant, the poison arrows shot forth. Under Dugu Yan's aim, every one of them struck the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast's eyes and mouth.

The terrifying neurotoxin took effect rapidly, causing the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast to completely lose control of its body.

Its consciousness remained clear, but it could no longer feel its body or limbs. It could only open its mouth wide, drooling foul-smelling saliva as it glared viciously at Dugu Yan with eyes full of fear and hatred!

Dugu Yan did not indulge it. She immediately followed up with another dose of Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison. The terrifyingly corrosive toxin entered the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast's body through its mouth and began madly destroying its internal organs.

In less than a minute, the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast's body twitched unconsciously a few times. Then its eyes rolled back, and it stopped breathing.

After the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast died, Lu Chen withdrew the Blue Silver Branches and allowed its enormous body to fall to the ground.

Boom!

Streams of black light erupted from the Earth Dragon-Armored Beast's body. The dense energy fluctuations gradually made the air feel viscous.

The black light rapidly gathered, eventually condensing into a black Spirit Ring.

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo, then at Lu Chen. She continuously encouraged herself inwardly, and the expression on her face became increasingly resolute.

She sat cross-legged on the ground. With a thought, the black Spirit Ring responded to her summons, rapidly settling around her body before merging into it.

Boom! Boom!

In an instant, terrifying energy so vigorous it seemed almost boiling swept through her body.

Excruciating pain assaulted her mind, causing her small face to scrunch up. She felt as though every part of her body were being torn apart.

"Hmph!"

Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan, and drops of blood seeped from her nose and mouth.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo's heart ached terribly. He glared at Lu Chen and said furiously:

"Look at this, look at this! See how much Yanyan is suffering? If you hadn't egged her on from the side, I would never have let Yanyan absorb such a dangerous Spirit Ring."

"You brat, if anything happens to Yanyan, don't blame this old man for being merciless. She is my only granddaughter."

Lu Chen stared intently at Dugu Yan, ready to use Blue Silver Will the moment anything went wrong. Without even raising his head, he said to Dugu Bo:

"I know what I'm doing. Considering Yanyan's feelings for me alone, I would never let anything happen to her."

Dugu Bo opened his mouth upon hearing that, but in the end, he did not say anything.

He snorted coldly and focused all his attention on Dugu Yan.

At that moment, a faint dragon's roar seemed to come from within Dugu Yan's body.

It was her Jade Phosphorus Dragon Martial Soul, which had begun madly devouring the energy pouring into her body.

The Jade Phosphorus Dragon Martial Soul was like a bottomless black hole, continuously swallowing the surging energy and causing the pressure on Dugu Yan to suddenly ease.

This twenty-thousand-year Spirit Ring had not burst Dugu Yan apart. She adapted to it well, and her absorption of the Spirit Ring had already entered the proper course.
