— Chapter 90 —

A week has passed.

Since Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengyuan left, Han Yuan’s tight schedule remained the same as he focused more on his cultivation, experimenting with lightning energy and Dao of Soul.

The others also improved themselves rapidly, especially Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo.

Liu Erlong’s cultivation speed is fast.

Yes, terrifyingly fast.

Liu Erlong, being the Progenitor of Elder Dragon, means she has immense talents. So, after consolidating her foundation, Liu Erlong reached level 89 and was one level away from a half-step Title Douluo Realm.

She was close to being the second Title Douluo in the academy!

However, this was normal compared to Dugu Bo.

Plagued by his martial soul’s poison for decades, Dugu Bo’s strength has always been at the bottom among all Title Douluo. Even a Spirit Douluo with a good martial soul could bully him.

Yet all this changes when Dugu Bo’s martial soul evolves into a dragon.

Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon is a powerful martial soul, allowing Dugu Bo to possess more physical strength than hundreds of himself in the past with additional attributes of fire and darkness.

It took two months for Dugu Bo to master his newfound powers, whether Ultimate Poison, Extreme Fire, or Extreme Darkness. He can wield them all skillfully, even combining two or three attributes simultaneously to create devastating attacks.

With Han Yuan’s assistance, Dugu Bo created a unique technique named the Netherworld Dragon Sutra.

Netherworld Dragon Sutra utilizes Dugu Bo’s newfound physical strength granted by his dragon spirit and Ultimate Poison to create this draconic aura that disintegrates the area around him. There are four forms to his dragon aura, which he can freely change to match his new fighting style.

The Meteoric Aura, the basic form, heavily focuses on physical strength and poison arts.

The Eruption Aura, the second form, adds fire attributes to the Meteoric Aura, making it more explosive.

The Gale Aura, the third form, adds darkness attributes to the Meteoric Aura, making it tricky and more corrosive while granting him an immense boost in speed.

The last is called Netherworld Aura. This dragon aura is the strongest one Dugu Bo could conjure, combining all his forces into one, which makes it ten times more concentrated than all the previous auras.

Once hit with Netherworld Aura, anyone who couldn’t nullify or extract poison would die miserably. Their bodies would decompose due to the extreme heat and corrosive nature.

Besides Netherworld Dragon Sutra, Dugu Bo also successfully formed a new Spirit Core with his pure spirit energy and completed the Yin-Yang Compliment link with his evolved Dragon Core.

Dugu Bo’s energy recovery and purity are countless times better than most Title Douluo in this era. Of course, he couldn’t fight Qian Daoliu or Bo Saixi yet.

But this is more than enough to fight Tang Hao!

…

…

Desolate Mountain, Valley of Spirits.

When Han Yuan formed a protection formation using poisonous clouds in Desolate Mountain, he had to think of a way to prevent the poison from affecting the academy.

So, Han Yuan decided to alter the blue silver grass on this mountain ridge by grafting them with greedy flowers known as toxic eaters. Now, the blue silver grass can swallow harmful substances from the atmosphere within the academy, keeping the air clean and sending the waste underground with its massive root system, where poison gathers into a pond.

After months of accumulation, the pond is rich with countless poison and eerie spirit energy. This pond becomes a suitable mimetic training ground for spirit masters with poison attributes, though only Han Yuan and Dugu Bo use it.

Han Yuan and Dugu Bo named the pond Forsaken Yellow Spring because the pond’s water could even devour one’s life upon touch.

The effect won’t be instant, but it’s painful. One might die from the pain first, then the poison.

Near the Forsaken Yellow Spring, Han Yuan and Dugu Bo are snacking on sunflower seeds while discussing poison arts.

“Young Master, let me show you something!” Dugu Bo showed Han Yuan his jet-black index finger, which exudes a purplish hue.

Han Yuan’s eyes widened slightly, “You have mastered your Nether Death Finger? Just how much poison have you infused that finger?”

Dugu Bo laughed proudly, “Hehe, after my martial soul evolved into Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon, my poison no longer affects my body, and I can use it freely. In fact, I realized that my physique naturally becomes stronger the more concentrated my poison is.”

“Perhaps this is the true effect of my Dragon Core.”

Dugu Bo’s Dragon Core was born after his Snake Neidan and Han Yuan’s Crimson Dragon Demonic Pill mixed perfectly. Dragon Core also acts as Spirit Core with Ultimate Poison as the primary attribute and fire and darkness as the supports.

Dugu Bo’s finger turned normal, “I think I can slowly transform my body into Nether Death Dragon Body, but the Forsaken Yellow Spring’s Water is no longer helpful. I need something to increase my toxicity more.”

“After you gave me that book about Immortal Herbs, I planned to use the Yin-Yang Polarizing Liquid and Snow Swan Kiss to speed up my Nether Death Dragon Body’s progress.”

“What do you think, Young Master?”

Han Yuan rolled his eyes and said, “You only wanted me to refine pills for you, right? Senior, your intention is plastered all over your face.”

“Hahaha, am I that bad?” Dugu Bo’s face was thick.

“Yeah.” Han Yuan snorted. “Still, your idea of using those two things to train your physique pretty much sounds.”

“You’re lucky I had the same idea as you…”

“What do you mean by that?”

Click!

Han Yuan flicked his sleeve and brought a jade box from the Sky Poison Pearl. “I’ve made a pill with the essence of Snow Swan Kiss, layering it with Heavenly Restriction Dew and Death God’s Blood, so anything it touches will be affected by those poisons before multiplying by a thousand times.”

“I call it the Final Heartbeat Pill.”

“This is the ultimate killing treasure I had…”

“Even a Limit Douluo or Demi-God might not survive it.”

“Hiss… You’re actually brave enough to refine the Snow Swan Kiss. I was joking earlier, you know?” Dugu Bo sucked a cold breath.

He knew just how terrifying the Snow Swan Kiss was. Before meeting Han Yuan, he did not understand the effect and value of Immortal Herbs and liked to wander around his garden curiously.

Then, the aura of Snow Swan Kiss affected the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor’s Venom in his body and stimulated it greatly, causing him to have a cardiac arrest on the spot.

Curiosity kills a cat. That is how Dugu Bo described his life-and-death experience at the time. Thankfully, he survived.

Since then, Dugu Bo didn’t dare to come close to Snow Swan Kiss.

However, Dugu Bo faintly sensed Han Yuan wasn’t satisfied by the Final Heartbeat Pill. “Young Master, what is exactly your goal?”

“I don’t think you showed this pill for no reason, right?”

Han Yuan sighed heavily, “Senior, can I trust you something…”

“This is the project I secretly made for our safety.”

“You may call it a contingency plan in case hostile Gods ever step into our personal life.”

“The God Slayer Project!”

“…” Dugu Bo couldn’t believe his ears for a moment.

Did he hear that right?

This young man, no, boy, actually has an ambition to kill a god!

However, Dugu Bo’s heart couldn’t help but beat rapidly in suspense as he believed Han Yuan wouldn’t speak nonsense with him. He knew what Han Yuan could do, so killing gods wasn’t far-fetched!

He calmed down and said, “What can I do for you, Young Master?”

“I, Dugu Bo, will walk on a sea of flame for you!”

“Thank you for the trust, Senior.” Han Yuan was relieved. “The goal of the God Slayer Project is simple.”

“It is to possess the power of Gods as mortals!”

“Having the power of Gods as mortals…” Dugu Bo mumbled in understanding.

“What should I do?”

Han Yuan smiled, “Replace your spirit rings with the new ones, and each must be 100,000 years old. Or, we can age your spirit rings…”

“This…” Dugu Bo was speechless.

“Such a thing possible?”

“Well, I only gained some inspiration on how to do it recently.” Han Yuan replied while shrugging helplessly. “So, what do you think, Senior?”

“Haha, let’s do this!” Dugu Bo grinned excitedly.

Han Yuan clapped his hands, “Good. However, before that, I need your help on something.”

“Have you heard of Clear Sky Douluo?”
