After saying that, Pharmacist gave Dugu Bo no chance to refuse. He grabbed his chin and poured the scalding, pungent medicinal liquid from the clay pot straight into his mouth.
The medicine flowed down his throat and into his stomach.
At first, Dugu Bo merely felt a little warmth in his abdomen.
Then, that warmth turned into surging lava, rushing straight toward every limb and bone in his body.
"Urghhh!"
Dugu Bo threw back his head and let out an inhuman howl of agony.
The green robe on his body instantly exploded, revealing a skeletal frame beneath the skin.
Then, a terrifying mutation occurred.
The Soul Power within him completely spiraled out of control. Driven by the tyrannical medicinal force, the phantom Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul actually forced its way out through his spine.
Azure scales spread downward from his neck, while his once-shriveled muscles swelled wildly as if inflated.
His legs twisted together amid excruciating pain, merging into an incomparably thick azure serpent tail.
In only a few breaths' time.
The frail Poison Douluo was gone, replaced by a massive half-man, half-serpent monster standing three zhang tall.
Its barbed serpent tail slapped the blue-brick floor of the medicine room irritably, shaking dust from the entire house.
Dugu Bo panted heavily. He tried to mobilize his Soul Power to attack Pharmacist, only to discover in despair that the meridians within his body had been completely remade by this savage force.
His prideful poison arts and Soul Power had all vanished, replaced by terrifying brute strength with nowhere to vent itself.
Pharmacist inspected the muscular serpent-man before him with satisfaction, then reached out and patted Dugu Bo's shoulder, which was covered in hard scales.
"Not bad. The effects of this Bloodburning Transformation Powder are even better than I expected."
