Dugu Bo Completed His Transformation

Having picked almost all the immortal herbs, Yun Tian prepared to continue observing Dugu Bo. The old man was still refining the herb. If he just took an immortal herb himself now, wouldn't that be irresponsible?

Looking around, aside from those immortal-grade herbs and the medicinal plants named in the original work, there was only the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes here. Everything else would need time to accumulate and grow anew.

"Now that kid Tang San won't be able to keep playing. Immortal herbs are the foundation of godhood. Without his plot armor and immortal herbs, forget becoming a god—at this rate, even reaching Title Douluo will be difficult."

Shaking his head, Yun Tian felt a vengeful sense of satisfaction. Once he grew even stronger, it would be Tang Hao's turn.

About two and a half hours passed. As a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo refined the Earth Dragon Golden Melon more thoroughly, so he required even more time.

"Roar..."

Behind Dugu Bo, the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor, which had been coiling there, actually let out low growls from its mouth. That sound, like neither flood dragon nor true dragon, struck directly at Yun Tian's mind.

Crack!

The scales on the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor's body began to peel away continuously, revealing an entirely new form beneath.

The outline of its enormous snake head gradually broadened, shedding its formerly flattened serpentine appearance as its features became powerful and majestic. Dense, sharp fangs grew from its lower jaw. Its forehead was smooth and clean, with no sign of dragon horns appearing.

Beneath its belly, flesh swelled and tore apart as four thick, vigorous flood-dragon claws covered in jade scales slowly stretched out. Its long body still retained the supple tail of a snake, while rows of venomous spikes along its spine gleamed coldly beneath the surrounding light.

Roar!!

Poison mist erupted forth, yet it did not immediately spread. Instead, it curled around its body like ribbons.

"A dragon head without horns—without horns, it is a flood dragon! Destiny's Eye!"

Without hesitation, Yun Tian immediately examined Dugu Bo's current status panel.

[Gold · Jade Phosphor Poison Flood Dragon Emperor], [Gold · Myriad Poison Control], [Purple · Poison Bone Ailment], [Purple · Everlasting Vitality].

Two golds and two purples!

One had to know that colored traits generally belonged only to those blessed with immense fortune, such as Tang San or Yun Tian himself. Yet Dugu Bo now possessed two golden traits!

[Gold · Jade Phosphor Poison Flood Dragon Emperor: Evolved from the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor. Possesses a more powerful bloodline and greatly enhanced physical strength.]

Seeing this, Yun Tian did not hesitate in the slightest. System, change flood dragon to dragon!

[Jade Phosphor Poison Flood Dragon Emperor conversion in progress...]

[Conversion complete!]

[Color · Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor: The Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor bloodline has reached perfection. All external toxins can be turned to one's own use, whether for battle or healing one's injuries. The bloodline affects descendants and comes with the Myriad Poison Domain.]

"Argh!!"

Dugu Bo, who had been refining with his eyes closed, suddenly cried out. His entire body began to shake violently as a force far stronger than before surged forth.

Boom!

The Jade Phosphor Poison Flood Dragon Emperor, which had been adapting to its body on its own, abruptly contracted its pupils. The black vertical slits within nearly narrowed into needles.

Roar!!

The scales covering its body became sharper and more prominent, pale golden patterns flowing across them. Bulges began to rise from its forehead, and at last, a pair of emerald-green dragon horns emerged.

The same phenomenon occurred to Dugu Bo. His originally dark-green hair instantly turned jet-black, a pair of small horns sprouted from his forehead, and emerald dragon scales appeared across his skin.

"This is...!"

Slowly opening his eyes, Dugu Bo looked at his hands and felt the unprecedented strength and comfort within his body. Ecstatic joy appeared in his eyes.

"This old man feels utterly refreshed! A powerful force is surging through my body!"

From Yun Tian's perspective, Dugu Bo's extravagant configuration of one colored trait and two purple traits shone brilliantly.

The original [Gold · Myriad Poison Control] had vanished. It seemed to have fused with that colored trait, leaving only the two purple traits.

[Purple · Poison Bone Dragonheart: Toxins will periodically form within the body. All are controllable and can nourish the user in return.]

[Purple · Everlasting Vitality: The evolution of the martial soul and the disappearance of its flaws have brought immensely powerful vitality. Lifespan is greatly extended, and self-healing abilities are enhanced.]

Dugu Bo's [Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor] trait could even indirectly affect Dugu Yan. That was the most delightful part.

"Congratulations, old poisoner! You've successfully taken this step."

Retracting the panel, Yun Tian calmly stepped forward and congratulated him.

With a difference of just one word, a flood dragon had become a true dragon. The trait system's ceiling and floor were both incredibly high.

"Is this the Earth Dragon Golden Melon's effect?! This old man feels as though none of this is real."

With a sigh, Dugu Bo's soul power had directly reached rank ninety-four. He even felt that it was not over yet. As long as he cultivated for a while longer, rank ninety-five would be within reach!

Casually taking out a mirror from his storage soul tool, he finally saw his appearance clearly. The wrinkles in his skin had greatly diminished, his eyes had become more spirited, and even the color of his hair and pupils had returned to a normal jet-black.

It could be said that Dugu Bo now looked like a middle-aged man. There was none of the aged, poison-ridden air he had possessed before.

"Yun Tian, thank you. If not for you... this old man might have been able to do nothing but wait for death!"

Dugu Bo's expression was sincere and earnest. Yun Tian had not only helped him resolve his ailment, but had also given him a brand-new opportunity—an opportunity to go even farther!

Everyone said he was among the weakest of the Title Douluo, but times had changed!

"It was nothing. By the way, old poisoner, you don't mind that I picked all those immortal herbs, do you?"

"Hahaha, of course not. What belongs to this old man belongs to you. Forget immortal herbs—even this old man's granddaughter can... Ahem, ahem."

Realizing that he had spoken too quickly, Dugu Bo hurriedly coughed twice. That had made it sound as if he were trying to sell off his granddaughter.

"Now that this matter is settled, let's leave first. I'll go help Yan Yan and the others with their treatment."

"No problem!"

Dugu Bo nodded eagerly. He had also been wanting his dear granddaughter to see how drastically he had changed. The shock in her little eyes would definitely be wonderful.

Throwing an arm around Yun Tian, Dugu Bo flew toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

This time, Yun Tian did not resist. The man was a Title Douluo, and his flying speed truly was faster. He would just take the free ride.

Yun Tian also had corresponding plans for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, though the exact implementation would still need to begin with their traits.

At this moment, within Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Outside Yun Tian's dormitory, two graceful figures were continuously knocking on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Little Tian? Are you there?"

"Yan Yan, stop knocking. What if Little Tian is cultivating, or sleeping and resting?"

At her side, Ye Lingling gently tugged on Dugu Yan's sleeve and softly tried to dissuade her.

"Sigh, probably. With everything about Tang Hao and Xiao Wu, if it were me, I might have fainted too."

Dugu Yan ultimately gave up on the idea of looking for Yun Tian right now.
