Sister Yanyan, I'm Ready! No Matter How Intense It Gets, I Can Take It!

Time flowed slowly amidst the painful tug-of-war, feeling as long as an entire century.

Finally, the last trace of the lingering dark green toxin was Sheer Force restrained by Dugu Bo's powerful Soul Power, and like a venomous snake returning to its nest, it suddenly burrowed into the Spirit Bone!

Buzz--!

The jade-like Right Arm Soul Bone suddenly erupted with a strong emerald green light, enveloping Dugu Yan's entire right arm. A Soul Power fluctuation several times stronger than before rose from her body, breaking through the previous bottleneck!

After sealing away the enormous burden of the poison and completely breaking free from its constraints, Dugu Yan's Soul Power actually broke through two levels based on the fusion of her Spirit Bone!

The light slowly faded, Spirit Bone completely disappeared into Dugu Yan's right arm, leaving only a faint Spirit Bone mark on the surface of her skin, like the veins of an emerald leaf.

Dugu Yan was soaked to the bone, as if she had just been pulled out of the water. She collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. The intense pain receded like a tide, leaving behind a feeling of exhaustion from surviving a disaster and an indescribable sense of relief.

She could even clearly feel that the ever-present chill and sluggishness in her body had disappeared!

The unprecedented sense of clarity almost brought her to tears.

"Is it over? Was it a success?"

A cool voice, tinged with a barely Frisk hint of concern, rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Bibi Dong had quietly stood beside Lin Xia at some point.

She changed into a clean purple casual outfit, and her hair was restyled. Although her face was still pale as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and the redness and swelling around her eyes had not completely subsided, the grace and majesty of the Pope of the Spirit Hall had returned to her.

But when those purple eyes looked at Lin Xia, the tenderness of having regained what was lost and the overwhelming sense of dependence were more intense than ever before.

She naturally placed a hand lightly on Lin Xia's shoulder, as if to confirm his presence, while her gaze fell on the exhausted Dugu Yan, filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

Lin Xia felt the warmth on his shoulder and the silent affection, and his heart warmed slightly. He turned his head Bibi Dong a reassuring smile before looking at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, shaking his head and then nodding.

"Reporting to Master, the toxin transfer and sealing is indeed complete. Sister Yanyan's hidden danger has been eliminated, and her Soul Power has also increased by two levels, which is an unexpected bonus."

"An unexpected surprise?"

Dugu Bo, supporting his still somewhat exhausted granddaughter, was taken aback at first upon hearing this, but then a surge of immense joy welled up in his heart, and he was about to bow in gratitude again.

Lin Xia raised her hand to stop him, then changed the subject, her clear eyes sparkling with confidence.

"But this is just an appetizer. Senior Dugu, Sister Yanyan, our previous agreement went far beyond this."

Lin Xia paused, her gaze falling on Dugu Yan with an encouraging smile.

"The promised Martial Soul Evolution is only just beginning."

"Martial Soul Evolution?"

A genuine look of surprise flashed across Bibi Dong's purple eyes, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her elegant face.

As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she possessed the most advanced resources and knowledge on the continent and knew all too well how difficult and rare it was for Martial Soul Evolution.

Ordinary Soul Master maintain a relatively fixed Martial Soul form throughout their lives. Those who can evolve their Martial Soul through special opportunities are all exceptionally talented individuals with extraordinary luck.

Although she knew that her disciple had gained unimaginable fortune in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the shock she felt upon hearing him speak so confidently and casually about evolving the Martial Soul for others was still intense.

"Xiao Xia, do you... really have a way?"

Not only Bibi Dong, but also Dugu Yan, who had just recovered from her pain, and the extremely excited Dugu Bo, held their breath and Lock-On intently at Lin Xia.

Martial Soul Evolution?

This is simply a legendary miracle!

Could it be... that His Highness the Holy Son can truly create a miracle?

"Certainly."

Lin Xia's smile carried the youthful vigor unique to young people, yet also possessed a composure beyond her years.

"Strike while the iron is hot. The Spirit Bone have just fused, and the meridians are unobstructed. This is the perfect time for the Martial Soul to resonate most strongly and undergo transformation."

Lin Xia looked at Dugu Yan, her tone gentle yet authoritative.

"Sister Yanyan, the toxins have been removed, and your body has begun to adapt to the power of the Spirit Bone. What follows might be a bit 'stimulating,' but trust me, and trust yourself. Are you ready?"

Looking into Lin Xia's clear yet powerful eyes, feeling the warm power emanating from the Right Arm Soul Bone and the ease of her new body, Dugu Yan felt an unprecedented surge of courage and Covet rise from the bottom of her heart.

She took a deep breath, and although she was still a little weak, her eyes became incredibly firm as she nodded vigorously.

"Xiao Xia, I'm ready! No matter how exciting it is, I can handle it!"

"Good!"

Lin Xia nodded approvingly.

Without saying another word, under the watchful eyes of Bibi Dong, who was filled with inquiry and worry, Dugu Bo, who was full of hope and tension, and Dugu Yan, who was full of determination, he turned around and walked straight to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Spring Pool, which was still shrouded in red and white mist.

Lin Xia's target was not the spring, but a corner on the shore shrouded in heavy shadows, standing out from the other Immortal Herb and flowers.

There, the soil had an ominous purplish-black hue, and the air was filled with a faint, yet subtly numbing, sweet, fishy scent.

As Lin Xia approached, the scenery there gradually became clearer.

There, a strangely shaped plant was growing quietly.

It is about half a foot tall, with a deep dark purple color all over, and its stem is like a twisted obsidian, shimmering with a cold metallic luster.

There are no bright flowers at the top, only three thick, black jade-like leaves arranged in a triangular pattern to guard a fist-sized fruit shaped like a skull in the center!

The Skull Fruit was not the color of white bones, but a deep purplish-black, with an uneven surface that naturally formed a hideous facial outline. The empty eye sockets and the gaping mouth seemed to be silently grinning.

Wisps of Sisi, ink-like purple mist, shimmering with eerie phosphorescence, rose continuously from the Skull Fruit and the purplish-black soil around its roots, dyeing a small area around it a chilling dark purple.

In the area where it is located, even the resilient vegetation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has withered and died, which shows how potent its toxicity is!

As the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo recognized the terrifying nature of this plant at a glance, and his voice trembled slightly.

This level of highly Toxic Immortal Herb is so potent that its toxicity can even Corrosion the Soul Power protection of Titled Douluo; it would cause injury upon contact, let alone ingestion! He instinctively wanted to speak up to stop it.

"Your His Highness the Holy Son! This substance is Toxic poisonous, it must not be..."

However, his words came to an abrupt end.

Because Lin Xia had already reached out without hesitation, her fair fingers completely unprotected, and directly grabbed at the terrifying immortal Immortal Herb that exuded a deadly aura!

Just as Lin Xia's fingers were about to touch the purplish-black stem, a sudden change occurred!
