Title Douluo possessed nine soul rings, mastered a vast number of soul skills, and had accumulated years of combat experience.

No matter how strong Lu Chen's body was, his Soul Power Level and number of soul skills were ultimately limited, and his combat experience could not compare to that of a true Title Douluo.

If the two sides fought head-on, Lu Chen would still find it difficult to win.

Especially against experienced Title Douluo like Bibi Dong, Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, it would be difficult to truly gain the upper hand by relying solely on physical strength.

But being unable to defeat them was one thing; whether he could leave was another.

With Lu Chen's current physical strength, along with the speed, defense, and various special abilities granted by the Leugocyte martial soul, if he was determined to flee, ordinary Title Douluo would likely find it difficult to truly keep him.

Even if he lacked experience in direct combat, he possessed a sufficiently powerful body as protection.

As long as he was not instantly suppressed by a force far beyond his own, it would not be difficult for Lu Chen to disengage from battle.

In other words, although Lu Chen could not yet truly defeat a Title Douluo, he already had the ability to preserve his life against one.

For a child of only six years old, this was already astonishing enough.

After listening to Yue Guan and Gui Mei's assessment from the side, Bibi Dong also walked over to Lu Chen.

She raised her hand and slowly sent her soul power into Lu Chen's body.

Compared to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, Bibi Dong's perception was more meticulous.

She first examined Lu Chen's meridians, then inspected his bones, flesh, and blood.

As the examination continued deeper, her expression gradually turned grave.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei's judgment had not been wrong.

Lu Chen's physical strength had indeed reached an extremely terrifying level.

Moreover, because his martial soul was special, his body concealed some powers that even she could not fully see through.

Bibi Dong did not forcefully probe those powers.

She could sense that they were all closely connected to the Leugocyte martial soul. If she probed further by force, it was highly likely to trigger the martial soul's instinctive resistance.

After confirming that there were no hidden dangers in Lu Chen's body, Bibi Dong then examined his spiritual power.

The result likewise surprised her.

Lu Chen's sea of consciousness was far larger and more stable than before, and the spiritual power it contained had even exceeded the range a normal soul master should possess.

This improvement was clearly related to the two Dragon Kings at the bottom of the lake.

Whether physically or spiritually, Lu Chen had received unimaginable benefits.

However, when Bibi Dong continued examining Lu Chen's Soul Power Level, her expression paused slightly.

"Level twenty-eight?"

She had originally thought that after absorbing such immense energy, Lu Chen's soul power should have at least risen to level thirty. It was even possible that he might have crossed level thirty directly.

Yet the actual situation was that Lu Chen's soul power had only reached level twenty-nine.

Before entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lu Chen had already possessed considerable soul power.

This time, he had Devoured the remnants of the two Dragon Kings' power and absorbed energy within the energy cocoon for three whole days, yet in the end, his soul power had only risen to level twenty-nine.

Compared to the enormous changes in his body and spirit, such an increase in soul power was indeed not particularly remarkable.

Lu Chen quickly understood the reason.

Most of the energy left behind by the two Dragon Kings had likely been used to strengthen his body and spirit.

He was only six years old, and the amount of soul power his body could originally contain was limited.

When Leugocyte had guided him in absorbing the energy, it had clearly not chosen to blindly raise his Soul Power Level. Instead, it had prioritized strengthening his physical foundation.

Such a distribution was not a bad thing.

His Soul Power Level could continue to rise through cultivation in the future, but transformations of the body and spirit were not something ordinary cultivation could easily obtain.

Besides, level twenty-nine was not low.

A six-year-old child possessing level twenty-nine soul power had already surpassed what normal soul masters could comprehend.

More importantly, Lu Chen's level twenty-nine was completely different from an ordinary soul master's level twenty-nine.

After Bibi Dong's soul power circulated through Lu Chen's body once, she quickly discovered that the quality of his soul power was exceptionally high.

Whether in terms of density or stability, the soul power of an ordinary Soul Grandmaster could not compare with Lu Chen's.

Every strand of soul power within Lu Chen's body seemed to have undergone repeated compression and tempering.

Although the total amount of his soul power was only at level twenty-nine, the power it could unleash in a true burst would absolutely far surpass that of an ordinary level twenty-nine soul master.

Coupled with the innate power of the Leugocyte martial soul, Lu Chen was fully capable of fighting across multiple levels.

"Soul power, level twenty-nine."

Bibi Dong withdrew her hand and spoke slowly.

"Although it has not risen much, the quality of your soul power is higher than before. Even ordinary soul masters whose levels exceed yours may not necessarily be able to withstand the suppression of your soul power."

As the group discussed Lu Chen's changes, a young girl's voice suddenly drifted over from not far away.

"Grandpa!"

Her voice was crisp, filled with barely concealed delight.

"I've finished absorbing it!"

Everyone turned to look at the same time.

A girl of around twelve was walking briskly over from not far away.

Having just finished absorbing the immortal herb, the fluctuations of Soul Power around her had yet to fully subside, and the joy on her face was completely undisguised.

As soon as the girl reached Dugu Bo, she immediately said, "Grandpa, not only has my Martial Soul evolved from the Jade Phosphor Snake into the Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon, but my Soul Power has also reached level thirty!"

The newcomer was Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, a clear smile immediately appeared on Dugu Bo's face.

Yesterday, he had deliberately left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to bring Dugu Yan over from the academy where she had been cultivating.

Lu Chen had discovered a large number of immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and had also helped him temporarily resolve the toxin backlash issue of the Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul.

Seeing that there was nothing requiring his attention, Dugu Bo naturally had not forgotten about his granddaughter.

After giving it some thought, he decided to let Dugu Yan absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Melon sooner rather than later.

In just one day, Dugu Yan had successfully absorbed most of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon's medicinal power.

Her Soul Power had risen in one leap from level twenty-four to level thirty.

An increase of six levels of Soul Power was already astonishing, but compared to Soul Power, the benefits brought by Martial Soul Evolution were even more important.

The Jade Phosphor Snake had successfully evolved into the Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon.

Though a snake and a flood dragon differed by only one rank, there was an enormous gap between them in physical strength, toxicity, and future potential.

With the Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon Martial Soul, Dugu Yan's future ceiling would also rise accordingly.

Moreover, she had not completely absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon's medicinal power.

A considerable amount of it remained stored within her body.

Once Dugu Yan obtained her third soul ring and broke through to the Soul Elder realm, the remaining medicinal power would continue to be released.

By then, her Soul Power would likely rise another one or two levels beyond level thirty.

In one day, her Soul Power had risen from level twenty-four to level thirty, her Martial Soul had evolved from the Jade Phosphor Snake into the Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon, and she would continue to benefit from the remaining medicinal power in the future.

This improvement could already be considered a complete transformation for Dugu Yan.
