The two people's originally illusory Martial Soul were now controlled by Jun Yi as if they were physical entities, like a conductor's Tact. Then, a dazzling light suddenly emanated from their bodies, and their Martial Soul were simultaneously separated from them.
"Next comes the exchange."
Jun Yi controlled the two people's Martial Soul, bringing them to his left and right palms. Immediately afterwards, two beams of emerald green light rose from their palms and rushed towards their bodies.
Generally speaking, exchanging martial Martial Soul will cause a rejection reaction. Not only will the person be unable to adapt to the other person's Martial Soul, but their strength will also decrease significantly. Although Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's Martial Soul are different, they are both Jade Phosphorous Serpent. Therefore, after the two exchanged their Martial Soul, there was no rejection reaction at all.
It's done.
Jun Yi looked at the Martial Soul that the two had exchanged and smiled. This was the first time he had exchanged Martial Soul with Titled Douluo. He originally thought it would be difficult, but in reality, it was no different from exchanging with ordinary Soul Master.
It could be said that if Jun Yi wanted to, he could easily exchange the two's Martial Soul even if they resisted. "It seems that only Haki can restrain the power of Devil Fruit. If that's the case, then I'm invincible?"
A thought flashed through Jun Yi's mind: what would happen if this forced exchange of another's Martial Soul were used on an enemy? Or, was it possible for him to extract the Soul Ring or Soul Bone from another person? On a grander scale, could he extract Godhood from a god?
Jun Yi had a sudden flash of inspiration, and his mind was instantly filled with many ideas. It seemed that the Op-Op Fruit could do much more than he had originally imagined.
Then, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul behind Dugu Bo began to change. Its original light green scales slowly disappeared, replaced by emerald green scales, making it look even more beautiful. The vine that had Entanglement around its neck gradually became thinner and longer, like a snake's tail. Finally, the vine transformed into a pair of snake wings, hovering behind him.
"It has truly evolved."
Jun Yi watched as Dugu Bo's Martial Soul gradually changed. Although the process was slow, it was still clear that the aura of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was constantly rising.
Seeing Dugu Bo's Martial Soul undergo a transformation, Jun Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This adventure was indeed worthwhile. He had originally thought that Dugu Bo's strength would decrease significantly after exchanging Martial Soul, but seeing that the Martial Soul had truly evolved, Jun Yi was at ease.
Sitting next to Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan was struggling to adapt to the powerful Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul. Her eyes were closed, her face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, and her pretty face was full of pain. Her lips trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was enduring great torment.
However, Dugu Yan's Soul Power was not disordered; on the contrary, it was gradually increasing, which proved that she was trying her best to adapt to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and was about to succeed.
Both of them were adapting to their respective Martial Soul, while Jun Yi entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to pick the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
The Earth Dragon Golden Melon belongs to the Wood element covering the Earth element. Therefore, Jun Yi came to the soil area where the Earth Dragon Golden Melon grows. After carefully examining it, he found that the area was very spacious, and deep underground, a huge elemental fluctuation was surging out.
"Hmm? It's the aura of earth." Jun Yi raised an eyebrow; he had sensed this aura on Yan once before.
This vital energy from the earth's veins is the nourishment for the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and also a sign of its maturity.
Jun Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. Using his Divine Power to probe the place where the Earth Dragon Golden Melon grew, Jun Yi used the ROOM space to cover the ground, then raised his finger and pointed to the location of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
"Buzz~" The space distorted slightly, and with the distortion, a faint ripple appeared. A fist-sized, semi-transparent, golden-yellow fruit emitting a crystal-clear green light surged out from the ground.
Jun Yi casually put it into his System Space, and then walked towards the cold pool of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. A large amount of frost appeared on Jun Yi's body before he jumped into the pool.
Soaking in the icy water, every inch of his flesh seemed to stretch out, and his muscles and bones seemed to become more lively. Jun Yi knew that this was a cleansing of his physical body, and at the same time, a tempering of his Soul Skill.
"As expected, after eating the Ice-Ice Fruit, my cultivation is also affected by the environment. This icy pool is the best simulated environment for me."
Jun Yi sat cross-legged in the icy lake water, the surrounding cold air frantically penetrating his body and tempering his physique.
Not far away, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were still fusing their Martial Soul. By the time Jun Yi woke up, they had just finished.
Dugu Yan was the first to open her eyes. A faint golden light flickered in her eyes, giving her a somewhat eerie appearance. A green mist swirled around her body, and her entire demeanor changed abruptly at that moment.
Dugu Yan's Soul Power fluctuations had increased by at least two levels compared to before, demonstrating that the benefits she gained after exchanging her Dugu Yan Martial Soul were immense.
Dugu Bo then withdrew his Soul Power; the evolution of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was a relatively long process.
After all, it took him nearly half a year to fully evolve his Martial Soul, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"Grandpa, I feel like I'm much stronger." Dugu Yan exuded a powerful aura, and her Soul Power fluctuations clearly reached level 45.
"Haha, it's great that you succeeded. Now you only need one more Soul Ring to break through to level 45. You're 17 years old this year, which is one level higher than I was back then."
Dugu Bo revealed a satisfied smile. Dugu Yan was his granddaughter, but her talent was not particularly outstanding. At the age of 17, she was only at level 37. Dugu Bo had already roughly judged that his granddaughter could at most cultivate to the Soul Douluo, and there was no possibility of her becoming Titled Douluo.
But now, Dugu Yan not only possesses the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, but her Soul Power has also reached level 45. This gives her unlimited potential, and surpassing herself is a certainty. This makes him feel extremely gratified, and his gratitude towards Jun Yi has also increased.
Dugu Yan felt the same way. It was like a dream. This morning she was only a level 37 Soul Elder, but in just one morning, her Soul Power had increased by a full 8 levels. This was something she would never have dared to imagine before.
"Sigh, where is Jun Yi?"
Dugu Yan wanted to thank Jun Yi in person, but found that Jun Yi, who was standing in front of her, had disappeared.
"He should still be here." Dugu Bo released his Divine Power to probe the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and sensed that Jun Yi was currently in the cold pool.
"That kid didn't just jump straight into the icy pool, did he?"
