Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's Final Changes

[Gold · Nine-Heart Life-Birth], [Purple · Lone Lineage], [Purple · Flora Empathy]

[Gold · Nine-Heart Life-Birth: The more Soul Rings one possesses, the higher the healing limit. It can mend broken bones and severe internal injuries, and in extreme circumstances, pull critically dying teammates back from the brink. Soul Power consumption for healing soul skills is reduced by twenty percent, while healing efficiency increases by twenty percent.]

"System, change Lone Lineage to Single Lineage Shared Transmission!"

[Lone Lineage conversion in progress...]

[Gold · Single Lineage Shared Transmission: The Nine-Heart Begonia bloodline shackles have been broken. It is no longer limited to only two inheritors in the world. Inheritors of the same clan can share vitality with one another and bear the life-force expenditure caused by healing together.]

Crack!

As the trait modification was completed, Ye Lingling, whose eyes were tightly shut, felt a certain shackle within her body suddenly break. An incomparably soothing warm current swept through her entire body.

The Nine-Heart Begonia spinning continuously in midair also began to emit a dazzling radiance. The vitality within it nearly overflowed, and the faint halo brimmed with life force.

Meanwhile, far away at the Ye Clan residence, a certain change was quietly taking place. Yun Tian paid it no mind, however, because Dugu Yan's final transformation had finally been completed as well.

Bang!

"Yanyan! Boy Yun Tian, what happened!?"

The door was violently flung open, and Dugu Bo rushed in with a face full of astonishment. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Yun Tian. Eating an Immortal Herb could cause such a huge commotion?!

"Old Poison, don't panic. Yanyan's evolution has reached its final stage. With the bloodline connection from your Martial Soul Evolution, Yanyan's Martial Soul quality will definitely rise by a huge margin!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo turned his gaze toward Dugu Yan, who was enveloped in green light. Through his senses, he could tell that his granddaughter's aura and bloodline quality were steadily rising.

This was absolutely good news, because it meant that the two of them, grandfather and granddaughter, would no longer suffer backlash from their own poison.

Even their descendants would not suffer from it. The hereditary problem had been resolved!

"That's good, that's good indeed! Still, this commotion is truly rather large. When the time comes, I'll explain it in my own name!"

Dugu Bo did not want the secret of the Immortal Herbs to be known by others. This could also be considered a form of protection for Yun Tian.

The boy was still weak at present. Dugu Bo, who deeply understood the art of keeping a low profile, knew best how to protect him.

"Then many thanks, Old Poison. It seems Yanyan is about to succeed as well!"

The two turned their eyes toward Dugu Yan. Behind her, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent swayed continuously, while cracks appeared in its snakeskin, as though it would split apart the next second.

This was a sign of shedding its skin, and also a symbol of evolution!

Roar!!

The snakeskin peeled away, revealing long, narrow diamond-shaped scales beneath. Each scale interlocked tightly with the next, layered over the dragon's body and radiating a ghostly jade glow.

The originally flat snake head was gone, replaced by a stately emerald dragon head. Threads of poison intent glimmered in its golden vertical pupils, while a pair of dragon horns like jade emerged from either side of its forehead.

Then came the dragon claws and tail. Once the Martial Soul's transformation was completely finished, a pair of delicate dark-green dragon horns also emerged from Dugu Yan's forehead.

Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon!

Though it was not a monarch like Dugu Bo's, its quality was absolutely not low—indeed, it was far higher than expected.

"Yanyan!"

As the commotion gradually faded, Dugu Bo hurried forward to inspect his granddaughter's condition. He first felt the meridians in her arm, and only after confirming that they were exceptionally stable did he finally let out a sigh of relief.

He knew this change was undoubtedly beneficial, but as her grandfather, he could not help but worry.

"Her Soul Power has increased too!?"

He sensed that Dugu Yan's Soul Power Level had risen directly from level thirty-eight to level forty. If not for the level bottleneck, he felt she could have broken through several more levels!

"Not only that, Yanyan's future cultivation speed and talent will be on par with those geniuses born with Innate Full Soul Power, perhaps even slightly better!"

Even people like Feng Xiaotian were unlikely to possess such a luxurious trait configuration. If Dugu Yan cultivated now, her speed would definitely be several times what it had been before.

Seeing that Dugu Yan still showed no signs of waking, neither Yun Tian nor Dugu Bo was in a hurry. The medicinal power still needed refining, and her Martial Soul needed time to adapt. It was perfectly reasonable for her to remain seated a while longer.

Next, it would depend on Ye Lingling's performance.

Boom!

Unlike the domineering and powerful aura Dugu Yan had released earlier, Ye Lingling's aura carried neither killing intent nor aggression. Instead, it was filled with light vitality and a gentleness like being caressed by nature itself.

Pale white light scattered in all directions, and Yun Tian, who stood closest, was the first to be affected.

A tingling sensation spread from within his body, gradually flowing through his entire body. All his fatigue, along with the depletion caused by his expenditure of Soul Power, was instantly washed away.

"I... this feeling..."

Slowly opening her eyes, Ye Lingling's pale green eyes looked around in confusion. "What happened? Why is Xiao Tian's room such a mess?"

When she turned her head, she saw Yun Tian sitting cross-legged directly in front of her. The distance between them was practically zero.

Ye Lingling could even smell Yun Tian's scent. That hormonal fragrance uncontrollably flooded into her delicate nose.

"Mm... Xiao, Xiao Tian, why are you so close to me?"

Her pretty face instantly flushed crimson. To consume the Immortal Herb, Ye Lingling had deliberately removed the light veil from her face earlier, so Yun Tian could clearly see her current state. The contrast was truly striking.

The usually aloof Ye Lingling actually had such a shy side.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I was standing guard for you."

Yun Tian waved his hand and pushed himself up from the ground. He then walked over to Dugu Bo's side. Dugu Yan was still refining with her eyes closed, but the faint trembling of her body showed that she was about to awaken.

"Boy, you truly are fortunate!"

"Likewise, Old Poison. Haven't all your Martial Souls evolved too? Your future limit will definitely surpass level ninety-five!"

"Hahaha, you're absolutely right. That little girl from the Ye Clan isn't bad either. She has a sharp eye for people!"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily. Looking at Ye Lingling, who had silently risen and was preparing to help Yun Tian tidy his room, he said it outright.

So embarrassing!

Ye Lingling's body stiffened as she faced away from them. Poison Douluo's words were far too blunt. Xiao Tian was still here!

Looking at Ye Lingling, a faint smile appeared on Yun Tian's lips. He would wait until this girl returned home before giving her a surprise regarding the Nine-Heart Begonia Curse. Just telling her with his mouth would not be very convincing.

"Oh, right, boy. Liu Erlong from Blue Tyrant Academy came here looking for Ye Lingling just now. She wanted to borrow the Nine-Heart Begonia to treat her injuries. What do you think?"

"I think while standing up. Of course we won't lend it to her!"

Yun Tian sneered. Since Flender could not get his way, he had sent that mother dragon Liu Erlong instead? How ridiculous!
