— Chapter 74 —

[Name: Dugu Bo]

[Race: Human, Dragon (False)]

[Age: 80]

[Martial Soul: Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon (9+)]

[Cultivation: Spirit Rank – Level 95 (Super Douluo)]

[Battle Prowess: Spirit Rank – Level 96 (Super Douluo)]

[Spirit Bone: 50,000-year-old Medusa’s Skull Bone (Head), 45,000-year-old Tyrant Dragon Arm (Left Arm)]

[Description: Dugu Bo is a pitiful man. He suffered from his martial soul’s poison and watched his family members die or close to experiencing the same fate, unable to do anything. That’s until he met and followed his young benefactor, to which he vowed to be a loyal subordinate for eternity!]

…

[Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon]

[An evolutionary dragon from Jade Phosphorous Snake Emperor, which has broken the limit of a snake and transformed into a sub-dragon with Ultimate Poison, Extreme Fire, and Darkness attributes. The Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon is a flood dragon, but nearing the step to becoming a “true” dragon]

…

Han Yuan was amazed by Dugu Bo’s status panel. Not only did Dugu Bo solve his martial soul’s defect and evolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor to the Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon, but it’s also a super martial soul with three attributes.

On top of that, Dugu Bo also broke through to Super Douluo, making him one of the “real” powerhouses in the Douluo Continent. Many people will still think the infamous Poison Douluo is only Level 91 Title Douluo, but how wrong they could be when fighting him in the future.

Dugu Bo is no longer the “weakest” title douluo. After all, he’s no longer weak in frontal combat with super dragon spirit.

Han Yuan’s heart also calmed down when reading Dugu Bo’s description as this man really decided to be loyal to him for eternity.

“Now that Senior Dugu has evolved his martial soul and breakthrough to Super Douluo Realm. He can hunt the Seven-Knot Ichthyosaur for Uncle Xin’s 7th spirit ring.” Han Yuan said calmly.

Dugu Xin’s eyes lit up as he laughed excitedly, “That’s right, my 7th spirit ring! Haha, I completely forgot!”

Dugu Bo stretched his body, “Hmm, I could use some workouts with this youthful body of mine and newly evolved martial soul.”

“It shouldn’t take long to defeat some 50,000-year-old spirit beasts and then hunt the Seven-Knot Ichthyosaur. That spirit beast is half-dead anyway.”

“But is this okay, Young Master? If I’m gone, no one can protect you and others.”

Han Yuan rolled his eyes and replied, “I can deal with the enemies just fine. Also, I don’t think anyone would approach Burning Mountain Range anytime soon because of how much poison and destruction we caused today.”

“So, the valley is pretty safe.”

“That’s true…” Dugu Bo and others nodded in realization.

“Well, then. I’ll be out with Xiao Xin to hunt some spirit beasts!”

Before Dugu Xin could react, Dugu Bo grabbed his collar and dragged him out of the valley.

“AAAAAAAAAHHH~!” Dugu Xin’s scream echoed in the valley.

“DADDY, CHILL!”

“…” Han Yuan.

“…” Han Yue.

“…” Ye Xuelan.

“…” Ye Lingling.

Dugu Yan felt ashamed of her grandfather and father’s antics, blushing as she felt the gazes of others. “Don’t look at me like that… Grandpa usually wasn’t this energetic.”

“Maybe evolving the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor into Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon affects his personality slightly?”

“Well, you’re pretty much right, Sister Yanyan.” Han Yuan acknowledged her views on Dugu Bo’s current state. “After all, snakes are cold-blooded, and dragons are hot-blooded.”

“It’s normal for Senior Dugu to act like this.”

“Thankfully, it’s harmless.”

“So, are we going to do nothing here and just wait for the Dean to absorb the spirit ring?” asked Han Yue, peeking at the meditating Liu Erlong not far away.

Han Yuan shrugged, “What else? You can meditate or experiment with your new spirit skill.”

“No, I want to learn True Spirit Theory!” Han Yue was tempted to grow stronger but decided to do more lucrative things.

Ye Xuelan and Ye Lingling were surprised by Han Yue’s words, feeling a sense of threat from the beautiful young lady.

As expected, the final boss is her!

Dugu Yan pouted, “If Sister Yue, Aunt Lan, and Lingling learned the True Spirit Theory, then I’m the only idle one here? That’s not good.”

“Hehe, that’s rough.” Ye Lingling giggled.

Han Yuan smiled, “Well, you can learn other self-created skills I made, Sister Yanyan.”

“I think you can manage Rasengan as Senior Dugu did.”

“Rasengan?” Dugu Yan tilted her head. “You mean the swirling spiral you used to make caves near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?”

Han Yuan nodded, “Rasengan is a self-created technique that focuses on compressing and spinning spirit energy into a sphere, which could crush anything on its path.”

“Rasengan’s power also grew as your cultivation grew because the energy purity and density affected its power.”

“Hmm, okay.” Dugu Yan agreed without much question.

She knew Ye Lingling had learned a self-created skill called Chidori, and it was a strong lightning-based attack, so she didn’t want to lose and would learn Rasengan seriously.

So, Han Yuan began to teach True Spirit Theory to Han Yue, Ye Xuelan, Ye Lingling, and Rasengan to Dugu Yan. It was eventful, honestly, because they were absorbing new knowledge like sponges.

Of course, whether they could apply the knowledge to practical skills is still a question.

Fortunately, Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin returned when the lesson ended, and they brought several spirit beasts, starting from the dying 60,000-year-old Seven-Knot Ichthyosaur and other spirit beasts above the ten thousand years mark.

“Your timing couldn’t be more perfect, Senior.” Han Yuan chuckled at Dugu Bo, leaving him confused until he explained the meaning behind his words.

“Anyway, Sister, Sister Lingling, and Auntie. You can start using the spirit rings of these spirit beasts as your test subjects. Don’t worry about the falling because I can fix them later.”

After that, they sacrificed some spirit beasts so the ladies could learn the True Spirit Theory. Their lives will be the bridge to a better future.

Meanwhile, Han Yuan and the Dugu Family focused on the 60,000-year-old Seven-Knot Ichthyosaur.

“Uncle Xin, kill it.” Han Yuan ordered.

Dugu Xin nodded and killed the dying spirit beast, which caused a dark black spirit ring to manifest.

Han Yuan watched the manifestation of the spirit ring with interest but quickly used the Sky Poison Pearl to extract the “soul” out of the spirit ring before cleansing it with his lightning power.

“Oh, it also drops a spirit bone.” Han Yuan said upon butchering all the values of the spirit beast’s corpse. “Uncle Xin, you’re lucky.”

“Torso Spirit Bone!” Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin, and Dugu Yan exclaimed upon seeing the red-blue spirit bone shaped like a fin.

Han Yuan threw the torso spirit bone to Dugu Xin, “This spirit bone will be yours, Uncle Xin. After all, the effect of this spirit bone will be stronger when you absorb the Seven-Knot Ichthyosaur’s spirit ring as they come from the same source.”

“Before that, however, you must make a choice… Do you want to absorb a Demonic Pill now?”

“If you just absorb the spirit ring and spirit bone, your Jade Phosphorus Snake will still evolve, but the potential won’t be as good as Senior Dugu or Sister Yanyan as you have wasted six spirit ring slots.”

“Your Jade Phosphorus Snake might only reach top-tier grade.”

“However, if you absorb Demonic Pill made of Seven-Knot Ichthyosaur and Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin, your potential will be even stronger.”

“Then again, you can only absorb one Demonic Pill in your lifetime until I discover a way to break that limitation.”

“I definitely will take the Demonic Pill.” Dugu Xin gave Han Yuan a resolute look. “I believe you’ll find a way to break that limitation soon, Xiao Yuan!”

Han Yuan shook his head helplessly, “It would take years, but thanks for the trust.”

Even then, Han Yuan immediately made the Demonic Pill and handed it to Dugu Xin for him to eat.

Dugu Xin calmed down and looked at the red-blue pill before him.

“Let’s do this.”

At first, Dugu Xin absorbed the torso spirit bone and then absorbed the spirit ring while also taking the Demonic Pill.

Kacha!

Dugu Xin’s bones cracked immediately as he grunted in pain. He grinned like a madman and said, “I’ve endured too much pain all my life, so this much is just a mosquito bite!”

Ye Xuelan stopped practicing the True Spirit Theory and came to their side, using her healing skills to help Dugu Xin. The same goes for Han Yue and Ye Lingling.

Everyone watched Dugu Xin gradually wrapped in a cocoon, which turned into an egg. A pulsating energy echoed from the egg.

An hour later, the roar of a dragon echoed.

ROAR!

An eastern dragon with a serpentine body shrouded in green crystalized scales, an octagonal dragon’s head, fins, fan-shaped tail, and four wings made of crystal and mist appeared before them all.

Then, the dragon dissipated and revealed Dugu Xin. His face wasn’t that different than before, but his body had become more muscular than Dugu Bo’s, and his hair also gained an emerald, crystal-like color.

“Poison, Fire, Ice, no, is it steam?” Han Yuan used the Eyes of Truth to get information about Dugu Xin’s martial soul.

It’s a super martial soul with Ultimate Poison like Dugu Bo’s, but it has an ice attribute instead of darkness. On top of that, the ice has merged with the fire attribute, creating a steam attribute.

It reminded Han Yuan of the Fifth Mizukage, which has a Boil Release.

“Xiao Yuan, please name my martial soul!” Dugu Xin requested with gratitude in his eyes.

Han Yuan chuckled, “Well, let’s call Uncle’s second awakened martial soul Emerald Mist Dragon.”

Everyone congratulated Dugu Xin right after.

Of course, the next surprise is coming soon.

The red spirit ring above Liu Erlong is flickering.

Han Yuan noticed this and said with a smile, “She’s going to wake up soon.”

“I wonder what kind of martial soul her dragon spirit evolved into…”
