The Grandfather and Grandson's Evolution

"Young friend Tang Chuan, this is for you."

With his other hand, he removed a pouch from his waist and handed it to Tang Chuan.

"This item is called the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch. Though it is also a storage Soul Tool, its greatest function is that it can store living things!"

"Store living things!"

Tang San's eyes lit up. This was great—practically made for storing immortal herbs.

"Then I'll accept it. As expected, the treasures of Your Excellency Poison Douluo are extraordinary!"

"Haha, no need to be so formal. Since we're already so familiar, just call me Old Poison. That's what everyone around me calls me."

Tang Chuan nodded. Those who dared call him Old Poison were probably only fellow Title Douluo. If someone below that realm called him that without being close to him, they would likely be poisoned into a puddle of blood.

Dugu Bo pinched the small piece of Earth Dragon Golden Melon and walked to one side, swallowing it under everyone's watchful eyes.

Dark green Soul Power surged continuously around his body, and even the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison began leaking out uncontrollably. At that moment, Dugu Bo felt his entire body becoming lighter, as if his illness were leaving him.

"Argh!"

Boom!

A wave of Soul Power erupted. When Dugu Bo appeared again, his appearance had changed drastically. His hair, originally dyed green by poison, had returned to its normal jet-black color, and even his pupils had changed back.

"Hahahaha! Wonderful, wonderful! The illness in my body has actually been cured just like that!"

After examining his condition, Dugu Bo was delighted to discover that the toxins were no longer interfering with his body. He could still use ordinary poisons as usual, and his Soul Power had even successfully broken through to rank ninety-three, increasing by two levels.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor behind him emerged unconsciously as well. Dugu Bo could sense that it had reached some sort of critical point and had begun swaying its serpentine body on its own.

"Hisss!"

Cracks continuously appeared across its body—a sign that it was about to shed its skin.

"A low-probability event actually happened to him? Looks like this Old Poison really is quite lucky."

Two dragon horns grew from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's head, while green scales began emerging across its body.

Roar!

In the end, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor successfully completed its transformation from serpent to dragon.

This change left Dugu Bo both shocked and overjoyed. His martial soul could actually evolve into a Jade Phosphorous Dragon! The improvement in his martial soul's quality undoubtedly raised his future potential as well. This time, Dugu Bo truly could never repay this debt of gratitude.

"Young friend Tang Chuan, I feel completely refreshed now. Do you know that feeling?"

"I don't, but I can tell from your expression."

"Alright, Yanyan, hurry up and eat yours too. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is dense. Even my martial soul encountered such a low-probability event—yours will definitely be able to evolve!"

Dugu Yan likewise ate the large remaining piece of Earth Dragon Golden Melon in her hand.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well rushed toward her, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent appeared behind her.

Scales gradually emerged across its formerly smooth body, while its gaze became sharper. It was beginning to evolve toward the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

Then, those scales continued becoming sharper, clearly beginning to transform into dragon scales as well.

With the support of the surrounding environment, Dugu Yan's martial soul ultimately transformed into a giant dragon. Dugu Yan herself also underwent some changes: her arms turned into dragon claws, and a pair of small dark-green horns grew from her head.

It looked not much different from the dragonification of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—perhaps even stronger.

"Grandpa, I succeeded! This immortal herb directly helped me break through to rank thirty! And that uncomfortable feeling in my body is gone too!"

"Wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was so excited he nearly shouted aloud. Their Dugu Clan's fortune had truly arrived, allowing them to meet such a benefactor as Tang Chuan!

As for the frustration of having the antidote right before him without recognizing it, he had long since tossed that thought aside. After all, he had not known what it was, so there was nothing to be done.

"Old Poison, your granddaughter's martial soul feels extremely similar to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Could it be that she'll also take the strong attack path?"

Dugu Yan's dragonified appearance just now really had looked similar, yet the original work had clearly stated that she was a control-system Soul Master.

"What does that matter? It's fine if my poison techniques are gone, but getting rid of this illness is what matters most! It's all thanks to you!"

"If you ever need anything from me, Dugu Bo, just say the word. This old man's life was given to me by all of you!"

"There really is something. I want to bring Little San and his classmates to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I wonder if Old Poison could recommend us?"

Dugu Bo froze. He had thought the other party would make some difficult request, but this was it?

In the original story, Shrek Academy had been recommended into Heaven Dou Royal Academy by Qin Ming, only to be disgusted by that pretentious playboy Xue Beng. But if Tang Chuan and the others were recommended by Dugu Bo, Xue Beng would most likely not dare come and provoke them.

"No problem. Isn't it just enrollment? It's a matter of one word from me!"

Dugu Bo patted his chest, declaring there was no problem. Not only was he a guest elder of the royal family, he was also a Title Douluo. Who in the Heaven Dou Empire would dare refuse to give him face?

The prestige of a Title Douluo in Soul Land I was still extremely substantial.

Soul Land I: You're actually a Title Douluo?!

Soul Land II: So you're a Title Douluo.

Soul Land III: How are you only a Title Douluo?

Soul Land IV: You're only a Title Douluo?

This sort of thing became commonplace later on; the environment in Douluo 1 was simply better.

"Since that's the case, then according to our agreement, this medicinal garden naturally belongs to you! I'll take Yanyan and leave first. I need some time to properly process something this important!"

Dugu Bo left with Dugu Yan, leaving only the father and son, Tang Chuan and Tang San.

"Father, this place belongs to us from now on?!"

"That's right. This Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch is yours, Little San. Harvest those immortal herbs properly and store them inside."

Upon hearing this, Tang San no longer hesitated. Carrying the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, he began gathering the immortal herbs, continuously muttering their names as he picked them.

Tang Chuan, meanwhile, was also eager to return and claim his template reward. He had long yearned for the title of Title Douluo.

"What title should I choose?"

Blue Silver Douluo? Or Thousand Hands Douluo, like Tang San?

Tang Chuan felt that Thousand Hands sounded a little awkward. Although he could use hidden weapons, he did not use them often. Tang San, on the other hand, frequently kept a number of hidden weapons in his storage Soul Tool.

Once he successfully became the Sea God, Tang Chuan would begin mass-producing Guanyin's Tears. Its ability to ignore defenses and its guaranteed-hit property had been enough to pierce even Qian Renxue after she became the Angel God—and that had been an attack from the level-ninety-five Tang San.

If he had been at god level, that strike from Tang San would probably have killed Qian Renxue without fail.

"Father, the immortal herbs have all been packed. Are we heading back now?"

At that moment, Tang San had finally finished gathering all the immortal herbs. He looked at Tang Chuan happily.

Tang Chuan nodded and said softly, "Let's head back first. You've been absorbing and refining immortal herbs these past few days, so you're bound to be tired. Go back and get some proper rest."
