Martial Soul Completes Evolution, Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor, Poison Ancestor!

After finishing their meal, Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan returned to their room.

Exhausted, Dugu Yan immediately collapsed into bed and fell asleep. Dugu Yao, meanwhile, continued studying the cultivation speed of the Nine Nether Poison Scripture, hoping to help Dugu Yan get started quickly.

"Geez... just how difficult is this? What's the reason? Why is cultivation so hard for my sister? Is it really because I'm special? But I can't be that special, can I?"

Dugu Yao looked at the sleeping Dugu Yan and muttered in confusion.

Xiangliu itself possessed the Nine Nether Space within its body, and it was absurdly vast, filled with emerald-green, peerlessly poisonous venom. It was a space it had possessed from birth.

Thus, for Dugu Yao, who possessed the Xiangliu Martial Soul, cultivating the Nine Nether Poison Scripture and opening up the Nine Nether Space was like taking an exam with the answers right in front of him!

While others were still calculating the correct answers, he was already handing in his paper.

Or rather, as the owner of the Xiangliu Martial Soul, the Nine Nether Poison Scripture was something he had known from birth. Cultivating it now was merely reclaiming the power he had once possessed!

It was no different from a player who had already cleared a game starting a second playthrough. Naturally, the speed of clearing it would be extremely fast!

"So this is why I cultivate so quickly?" Dugu Yao stared at Xiangliu on his shoulder and murmured.

"I wonder how long Yanyan will need to open up the Nine Nether Space? No, forget opening the Nine Nether Space—I think she's still having a hard time even getting started!"

"Is Grandpa and the others the same?" Dugu Yao was not particularly anxious. After all, the cultivation method of the Nine Nether Poison Scripture was right there.

If they kept cultivating, sooner or later, they would open up the Nine Nether Space.

Originally, Dugu Yao had thought that Dugu Bo and the others would return that afternoon, or perhaps that evening. But unfortunately, even by nightfall—

He still had not seen any sign of Dugu Bo and the others.

But thinking about it, that made sense. Hunting Spirit Beasts was not such an easy task.

Not to mention that the Soul Rings his mother and father needed were ones that Soul Sages would absorb. As for his grandfather—

The Soul Ring he sought was one that a Titled Douluo would absorb. It would probably take quite a long time, wouldn't it?

The next morning, Dugu Yao was cultivating the Nine Nether Poison Scripture. Dugu Yan had woken up, but she still had not successfully entered the beginner stage. Even so, she continued trying.

Compared to yesterday, when she had no idea where to begin, she had now completely sorted out the proper approach to cultivation. However, getting started was still exceedingly difficult for her.

"Yao'er! Yao'er! Yanyan! Yanyan!" A deep, vigorous voice passed straight through the wooden door and echoed through their room.

Dugu Yao, who had been cultivating, ended his session and smiled at Dugu Yan. "Yanyan, it sounds like Grandpa and the others are back. Shall we go take a look?"

With that, the two left their room and headed to the front courtyard. The first thing they saw was Dugu Bo walking toward them!

Dugu Bo's steps were steady, each stride covering nearly ten meters. In only a moment, he had arrived before them, bringing with him a light breeze that brushed against their faces!

"Grandpa, you've already absorbed your Soul Ring and become a Titled Douluo, right?" Dugu Yao asked excitedly. His grandfather was now far stronger than the grandfather from the original timeline!

"Of course!" Dugu Bo looked at the two little ones before him and laughed. He immediately released his Martial Soul—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black. Nine Soul Rings, the absolute optimal Soul Ring configuration in the world of Soul Masters!

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... Nine Soul Rings!" Dugu Yan counted the Soul Rings beneath Dugu Bo's feet.

"Hehe!" Dugu Yao said with a grin, "Then should Yanyan and I address Grandpa as His Excellency Poison Dragon now?"

As soon as he spoke, Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan exchanged a smile. Then, the two immediately clasped their hands and bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo, saying in deliberately solemn voices, "We pay our respects to Poison Dragon Douluo, His Excellency Poison Dragon!"

Hearing their childish voices, Dugu Bo immediately scooped them both into his arms—Dugu Yao on the left and Dugu Yan on the right.

Chuckling, he asked, "Yao'er, Yanyan, did you miss Grandpa these past two days?"

"We did!" Dugu Yan said in a soft, sweet voice. "Grandpa, why did you come back so late?!"

Dugu Bo gave a wry smile. "Ah! Speaking of which, your mother and father successfully absorbed their Soul Rings yesterday morning and became level 73 Soul Sages!"

Of those 73 Soul Power Levels, one level came from the Soul Rings' granted Soul Power. The additional two levels came from the medicinal properties that had accumulated within their bodies.

After becoming Soul Sages, the Soul Power brought by their absorbed Soul Rings would allow them to refine the medicinal properties accumulated in their bodies at an increasingly faster rate, until all of those medicinal properties had been completely refined!

Before then, their cultivation would be like having a small accelerator turned on!

"What about you, Grandpa?" Dugu Yao asked. Compared with his father and mother, he was more curious about his grandfather's improvement.

With Dugu Bo's level 89 Soul Power, completely refining the medicinal strength of those three spiritual herbs would be no challenge at all!

"Me?!" Dugu Bo declared proudly, "I am now a level 92 Titled Douluo—Poison Dragon, Poison Dragon Douluo!"

This was the realm he had dreamed of attaining!

"One level of Soul Power came from absorbing the Soul Ring, while the additional Soul Power Levels likely came from the effects of the three spiritual herbs I absorbed."

"Of course, most importantly, after I successfully absorbed my Soul Ring and reached the Titled Douluo realm, my Martial Soul began to evolve!"

"If the Martial Soul Evolution hadn't delayed us, we would have returned last night!" Dugu Bo said with a smile.

He had lived in Sunset Forest for many years and knew the distribution of its Spirit Beasts very well. Therefore, finding a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast—

Was not particularly difficult. His ninth Soul Ring came from a ninety-thousand-year Spirit Beast. It was not that he did not want a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

But how could a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring be so easy to find?

"So Grandpa's Martial Soul is now the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor, then?" Dugu Yao asked with a smile.

"Of course! Compared to the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul possesses far fiercer poison. It truly deserves the title of Poison Ancestor!"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yao in his left arm. "Of course, the title Poison Ancestor only applies when compared to ordinary Martial Souls."

"Yao'er's Martial Soul is the Fierce God Xiangliu! Before Xiangliu, my Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul is nothing but a minor trick compared to the real deal."

"Come, come, come! Let's head inside first. Once we're inside, Grandpa will introduce you to my current Martial Soul and the effects of my Soul Skills. They'll definitely leave you stunned!"
