The Final Coda, Body Tempering Begins

Su Mu watched the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's transformation. This Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor had only just completed its evolution and showed no signs of dragonization yet. He wondered whether it would eventually master a unique dragonization like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lineage.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were in much the same condition as Dugu Bo.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could completely enhance the source power of Yue Guan's martial soul and improve its quality as well.

Its upper limit might even rise further. Perhaps the Worship Hall might gain several more worshippers.

"Such a feat really is rare."

It was Xie An's first time seeing three people break through to Titled Douluo simultaneously. A single Immortal Herb could accomplish this—it was simply unbelievable.

"It worked!"

The three of them opened their eyes at the same time and felt the changes within their bodies. They had broken through their limits and reached Rank 90. With just one soul ring, they could become Titled Douluo.

"My poison has been cured, and my martial soul has evolved."

Dugu Bo discovered that his martial soul had evolved and that his body had recovered its health.

After calming down, Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Xin, who was still absorbing the herb. At last, he would no longer have to endure that pain during rainy days. He then walked up to Su Mu.

"Su Mu, thank you so much. You are the benefactor of the Dugu family. Great kindness needs no words of thanks. From now on, my son's life and mine are yours."

Dugu Bo bowed at ninety degrees to express his gratitude.

"No need to be so polite."

Su Mu gestured for Dugu Bo not to do this.

He had already done everything that needed to be done.

"Poison Old Man, your martial soul evolved too. That truly surprised me!"

Yue Guan clicked his tongue in wonder as he walked over with Gui Mei.

Seeing that both had reached the Titled Douluo realm, Dugu Bo snorted. "Naturally."

"Poison Old Man, we're colleagues under the same roof from now on. Why are you still wearing that sour expression?"

Yue Guan teased him.

It was fine when you gave me a sour face before, but if you keep doing it now, don't blame Gui Mei and me for bullying you, the newcomer.

"Put away that sissy act of yours before you talk," Dugu Bo said.

"Poison Old Man, I think you're itching for a beating." Yue Guan immediately stepped up to retort.

Seeing the two argue endlessly without any intention of fighting, Su Mu stopped paying attention to them and instead picked the Enchanting Moon Orchid Fungus and Moon-Breaking Seam-Edge Bamboo.

"Liena, Xie An, take these two Immortal Herbs and swallow them."

Su Mu handed the two picked Immortal Herbs to them.

"Yes, Boss Su."

The two accepted the herbs without much hesitation, swallowed them at once, and began refining them.

"Little Mu-Mu, everyone has received an Immortal Herb now. It's your turn. Hurry up and eat yours!"

The Life Goddess urged Su Mu to eat the Immortal Herb and stop delaying. Even she was getting anxious watching him.

Su Mu picked the Emerald Immortal Dew Fungus and the Dark Spirit Flower of Destruction.

He first swallowed the Emerald Immortal Dew Fungus. A peculiar power began spreading through his body—a power compatible with his martial soul, without any sense of rejection.

After he swallowed the Dark Spirit Flower of Destruction, it carried the same aura as the Destruction Angel. That power, along with another force, began spreading throughout Su Mu's body.

Su Mu sat down and began absorbing them. With the Life Goddess secretly helping him, he felt no discomfort throughout the process.

As Su Mu absorbed the herbs, the surroundings gradually fell silent.

Yue Guan and Dugu Bo stopped arguing as well.

"Senior Brother is so handsome~"

Bibi Dong crouched nearby, staring at Su Mu's face as she swooned.

If anyone on the continent praised Su Mu the most, it would definitely be Bibi Dong.

After an entire day, Su Mu had completely absorbed both Immortal Herbs.

"It worked."

Su Mu opened his eyes, not yet having time to examine the changes in himself.

The Life Goddess's voice rang out in his mind.

"There's no need to check. I already examined you. Your Wish Angel's healing effects have improved greatly, at least in terms of your soul skills. The same goes for the Destruction Angel's abilities. Both sources of power have been significantly enhanced."

"In this situation, you can study Martial Soul Fusion Skills like your junior sister. Perhaps if the Destruction Angel gives the Wish Angel an aura, it might produce a unique effect."

Hearing the Life Goddess say this, Su Mu no longer needed to inspect the changes in his body.

The Life Goddess's examination was certainly thorough. She was a god, after all.

Su Mu did not linger on the subject and changed the topic instead. "I'll have to trouble you again later, Senior Life."

"You still want to swallow Immortal Herbs?" the Life Goddess asked in surprise.

"Of course. I need to temper my body using two Immortal Herbs. Otherwise, with my current body, people will think I'm easy to bully just by looking at me!"

Su Mu definitely needed to improve his physique.

"Leave it to me. Xiao Zi is never around anyway. Don't forget: one day in the heavens is one year on the ground. A few days may pass on your side, but only a brief moment passes on mine."

The Life Goddess spoke eagerly.

Su Mu did not answer further and prepared to pick the remaining two Immortal Herbs.

The moment he stood up, he discovered that Dugu Xin had already finished absorbing his herb and broken through to the Soul Elder realm.

Xie An and Hu Liena had finished absorbing theirs as well.

"Boss Su, the source power of my martial soul has increased so much."

Xie An shared his excitement with Su Mu.

"Me too. My tail has changed as well."

Hu Liena activated Martial Soul Possession. Her originally single tail had become three tails.

"Three tails. It seems your improvement was considerable. Congratulations to both of you," Su Mu said with a smile.

"Boss Su, it's all thanks to you. Besides, we had already sworn to serve you unto death," Xie An and Hu Liena said in unison.

"Alright, when did you learn to be so glib-tongued like Dong'er?"

Su Mu shook his head with a smile.

"Senior Brother, what do you mean, I'm glib-tongued?"

Bibi Dong walked over from behind him and gave an indignant pout, clearly dissatisfied.

What did he mean by glib-tongued? She simply knew how to speak.

"Dong'er, I won't explain it to you. I still need to absorb the other two Immortal Herbs."

Su Mu looked toward the two remaining herbs.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass resembled an eight-pointed white ice flower, its entire body crystal-clear like cold jade.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot resembled a fiery red cabbage, its bright red leaves unfolding layer by layer as waves of heat rolled forth.

"Xiao Yu, what are you going to do next?"

Yue Guan looked curious.

Su Mu pointed at the two Immortal Herbs.

"I'm going to use these two Immortal Herbs to improve my physique: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. They contain extreme ice poison and fire poison, and they require special methods to harvest."

"Fire poison and ice poison?" Yue Guan was somewhat surprised. "Will that really be alright?"

Su Mu said, "Eating either one alone truly won't work. But if I consume both Immortal Herbs at once, then jump into this cold pool, I can temper my body with ice and fire."

After saying that, Su Mu used special methods to pick the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, then came to the edge of the cold pool.

Once the Immortal Herbs were picked, they remained effective for only ten breaths.

Therefore, Su Mu did not explain further. He swallowed both at the same time, then jumped into the cold pool.

The sensation of ice and fire assailing him simultaneously struck at once, but the Life Goddess quickly and easily neutralized it.
