Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes

Arrived at Douluo's famous photo spot.

So beautiful—the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes!

Of course, it was not entirely a meme.

The scenery at the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes was indeed quite nice.

The yin-yang pool at the center was divided between icy blue and crimson red.

The surrounding soil had been steeped in the powers of ice and fire, nourishing all kinds of plants around the spring.

It was a scene bursting with life, with all things thriving.

"We're here. This is my medicinal garden. Take whatever you need, Yu Yuan."

Dugu Bo proudly introduced the herbs he had cultivated himself to Yu Yuan.

Conveniently ignoring the immortal herbs whose uses he did not know.

"Senior, I'll be direct. You don't recognize those herbs, do you?"

Yu Yuan pointed at several immortal herbs Dugu Bo had just skipped over.

"Cough, cough, cough. What kind of way is that to speak to your elder? This is my medicinal garden, how could I possibly..."

As he spoke, he signaled Yu Yuan with his eyes to leave him some dignity in front of his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, stop winking. I saw it all."

Dugu Yan mercilessly struck at her grandfather, then looked at Yu Yuan curiously.

"Since you say so, little brother Yu Yuan, I suppose you know what they are?"

Yu Yuan did not actually know, but Xiao Kong did, and that was enough.

So he nodded and pointed to an Earth Dragon Golden Melon nearby, with only its leaves exposed.

"This is an immortal herb called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. If the records are correct, it should be able to solve the problem for both you and Sister Yan."

"What! You're saying this alone will do it?"

"That's right. This immortal herb can grant a martial soul dragon bloodline, allowing it to evolve toward a dragon species."

Fortunately, this was the burial ground of two Dragon Kings.

Otherwise, an immortal herb like this might not have existed here.

"Evolve toward a dragon species? Wouldn't its poison become even stronger?"

Dugu Bo was still somewhat uneasy.

No, why could a problem that had troubled me for so many years be solved with just one herb?

Wasn't that too hasty?

"The poison will definitely become stronger."

If a martial soul evolved toward a dragon, there was no way its existing attributes would weaken instead.

"However, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon focuses more on improving one's physique. The evolved martial soul will significantly enhance the soul master's physical condition and their control over poison."

The essence of the Jade-Scaled Snake martial soul's backlash was that the martial soul itself could not perfectly control the poison it produced.

Snake-type martial souls offered limited physical enhancement, leaving the body unable to withstand excess poison.

Those two factors together had caused their current predicament.

Correspondingly, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon could resolve both problems very well.

After the martial soul evolved, its control over poison and tolerance for it would both become stronger.

At the same time, the strengthening effect dragon-type martial souls had on their soul masters ranked among the best of all martial souls.

So the solution was simple.

Just eat a roasted sweet potato.

"Mm, that does make sense."

After hearing Yu Yuan's detailed explanation, Dugu Bo expressed his agreement.

Provided that this so-called Earth Dragon Golden Melon really had that effect.

He could take the risk himself, but he could not gamble with Yan Yan's safety.

"How about I take a bite first and show you the effects?"

Yu Yuan saw Dugu Bo's hesitation and volunteered to test the medicine.

"No! What if something happens?"

Before Dugu Bo could answer, Dugu Yan could not bear to let him test it. What if something happened?

Maybe Grandpa should do it instead.

He was a Titled Douluo, so he should be fine.

Fortunately, Dugu Yan did not say what she was thinking aloud.

Otherwise, Dugu Bo's fragile heart probably would not have been able to take it.

"Let me do it."

Dugu Bo felt like he was becoming more foolish with age.

He had actually considered letting that boy try it first.

Why had he not thought it through?

If something happened to the boy, what would Yan Yan do?

Besides, I'm already a Titled Douluo.

Am I afraid of taking medicine?

"No, why do you all look like I'm about to march generously to my death?"

Wasn't this an immortal herb?

Eating it was good for you.

It was understandable for Sister Yan to worry, but why did Dugu Bo look so guilty?

What exactly had he been thinking?

Had I explained something unclearly just now?

To prevent misunderstandings caused by his failure to explain properly,

Yu Yuan could only go into detail about the effects of the various immortal herbs and assure them that this thing was harmless to humans.

"So that's how it is. It's all your fault for not explaining clearly."

No, how could my earlier words possibly have misled you?

"Cough, cough. You mean well."

Dugu Bo looked equally awkward.

Damn it, what was I imagining just now?!

"So, since Senior Dugu has no objections, I won't stand on ceremony?"

Yu Yuan still decided to eat one first, since he needed to test its effects.

Fortunately, this was the burial ground of two Dragon Kings.

Otherwise, an immortal herb like the Earth Dragon Golden Melon would not have grown several of them, as though it really were just a sweet potato.

Golden Dragon, come out.

Since he was consuming an immortal herb, Yu Yuan still summoned the Golden Dragon, which normally had very little presence.

"Grrr!"

"Damn it! Don't come over here!"

The Golden Dragon, having not been let out for a long time, was a little excited. It pounced straight onto Yu Yuan and began licking him.

No, why was this thing acting more and more like a dog?

Was there something wrong with the way I raised it?

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, frightened by the Golden Dragon's bloodline pressure, saw that her man had actually been pinned down by a dragon.

Furious, she came over and kicked the Golden Dragon.

"Grrr?"

Seeing an unfamiliar person dare to kick it, the Golden Dragon was just about to get angry.

But Yu Yuan, who had broken free, punched it into the ground.

"Don't bare your teeth. And rein in that pressure too. Seriously, why do you act like a dog?"

"Grrr."

The Golden Dragon felt a little wronged.

Hadn't you always fed me like a dog and made me practice sitting and giving paw?

Still, it obediently withdrew the pressure it had unconsciously released due to its bloodline.

"Whew... Yu Yuan, is this your martial soul?"

Feeling the pressure vanish, Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and curiously looked at the Golden Dragon panting with its tongue out beside Yu Yuan.

"Mm. His name is Golden Dragon. He's a special detached martial soul. I apologize on his behalf for the pressure earlier."

Yu Yuan then knocked the Golden Dragon on the head again, signaling it to lower its head and apologize.

"Grrr."

"N-no need. But why have I never felt that pressure from you, Yu Yuan?"

After all, she had fought Yu Yuan before.

Though she had been instantly defeated, she truly had not felt any martial soul pressure from his dragon bloodline.

"Hmm? I don't want to expose the strength of my bloodline, so I deliberately keep it under control."

After all, if such a powerful dragon bloodline appeared, Yu Yuan feared that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan would come directly to kidnap him.

"Ah! Then can you let me feel it?"

Dugu Yan suddenly became very curious.

Yu Yuan usually had a gentle temperament, but would he be different if he removed the restraints?

"Now? Sure."

So after activating his dragon transformation, Yu Yuan released the restraints.

Roar!
