Chapter 48: The Snake King Transforms into a Dragon
After more than a year, Long Chen came to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire again, and found that some changes had taken place here.
The herbs grew very fast under the nourishment of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
The originally small herbs became more lush.
Dugu Bo asked with some expectation:
"Boy, we are already here, so don't keep us in suspense."
"Don't worry, I want to give you a special gift."
Long Chen smiled slightly, and his eyes finally fixed on a plant growing in the cracks of the rocks, emitting a faint golden light.
It was a fist-sized golden melon, with veins on the surface that looked like the veins of the earth, faintly revealing a heavy and ancient atmosphere.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
"Boy, you are not talking about this, are you?"
Long Chen nodded slightly.
"This is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth."
As Long Chen explained, he carefully picked the golden melon and handed it to Dugu Bo.
"After two years of training, the medicinal effect of the ninth-grade purple mushroom should have been completely absorbed by you. Now that you have adapted to the toxins in your body, you can take this Earth Dragon Gourd. Although it is of earth attribute, it contains a trace of dragon power, which may promote the evolution of your Jade Phosphorus Snake King martial spirit."
Dugu Bo looked at the Earth Dragon Gourd with an unbelievable expression on his face.
"This small gourd can actually promote the evolution of my martial spirit?"
"This is a immortal-grade herb that has absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if it can't promote the evolution of your martial spirit, it can help you greatly increase your strength, mainly in terms of strength."
"Increase strength..."
Dugu Bo took the Earth Dragon Gourd and looked at it carefully, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.
As a Titled Douluo, he knew what martial spirit evolution meant to a soul master.
At the beginning, his Jade Scale Snake martial spirit evolved into Jade Scale Snake King, which promoted him to the realm of Titled Douluo.
Although he was the best in the world in poison, his single-target attack ability was not strong, and he was therefore ridiculed as the worst Titled Douluo.
It was precisely because of his lack of attack power that every time he encountered Elder Yueguan of the Spirit Hall, he was defeated and fled.
Strength has always been what he desires.
If this Earth Dragon Golden Gourd can really bring him strength, then his overall strength will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Long Chen urged:
"Eat it quickly. Just chew and swallow it, and then activate your soul power to absorb its medicinal effects."
"Okay."
Dugu Bo nodded, and without hesitation, he put the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd into his mouth.
The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd turned into a warm and hot energy that instantly surged through Dugu Bo's body.
He only felt a majestic force surging in his body, as if thousands of tiny things were shuttling through his meridians, bringing waves of numbness and swelling.
Dugu Bo immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to guide this huge energy, slowly integrating it into his body according to his many years of practice experience.
As time went by, the air around Dugu Bo seemed to become heavier, and a faint earthy yellow light shone from his body.
After an unknown amount of time, when the last bit of energy was completely absorbed, Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes.
He stood up, feeling the changes in himself, and was pleasantly surprised.
Long Chen hurried over and asked impatiently:
"How is it? How do you feel?"
"Boy, as you said, my martial soul has evolved again."
Dugu Bo subconsciously released his martial soul while speaking.
A Green Phosphorus Dragon that was even larger than before appeared out of thin air.
Its scales exuded a faint green-gold luster, releasing a terrifying pressure.
"This... is this really my martial soul?"
Dugu Bo looked at the scene in disbelief, with a tremor in his voice.
Witnessing the evolution of Dugu Bo's martial soul, Long Chen was also a little excited.
"The Snake King turned into a dragon! Congratulations, brother."
"Dragon..."
Dugu Bo stared at the scene in front of him infatuatedly.
The evolution of the Green Phosphorus Snake King into the Green Phosphorus Dragon not only means that the quality of his martial soul has been greatly improved, but also allows his strength to directly cross a level and reach a new height.
The violent attack power of the dragon martial soul is not comparable to that of the snake martial soul.
Dugu Bo took back his martial soul, and his excitement was beyond words.
Long Chen asked:
"Has your soul power improved?"
Dugu Bo laughed.
"I was just about to tell you this. The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd not only made my martial soul evolve, but also directly helped me break through the bottleneck of level 93 and reach level 94."
"That's really great."
For a Titled Douluo-level soul master, every level of soul power improvement means a huge improvement.
It is difficult to break through through one's own practice.
Dugu Bo and Long Chen have only known each other for two or three years.
But Long Chen has helped him a lot. Not only did he solve the problem of his own toxins backlashing him, but he also helped him improve his strength time and time again.
The evolution of his martial soul into a dragon has brought his strength to a new level that he never expected.
Dugu Bo patted Long Chen on the shoulder, his eyes full of gratitude:
"Boy, this gift is too heavy. I, Dugu Bo, owe you a favor. From now on, whether it is the Soul Master Competition or anything else, as long as you need it, I will go all out!"
Long Chen joked:
"I do this not only for you, but also for myself. With a strong man like you as a backing, I will have more confidence when facing strong enemies."
"Haha~ You are still so straightforward, that's what I saw in you at the beginning. Compared with those peak Douluo, I, Dugu Bo, am indeed a little bit behind, but as long as I am here, I will do my best to protect you."
Dugu Bo suddenly thought of something while speaking and frowned.
"Boy, will this Earth Dragon Gourd grow again?"
Long Chen understood what he meant and smiled:
"You thought of Dugu Yan, right?"
"Well, you know me better."
"It can grow, but it will probably take hundreds of years. Dugu Yan's martial spirit has not evolved yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"That's right, this is not something I should worry about now, haha~"
The two talked and laughed, and talked about the next plan.
"Brother Bo, why don't you be a special consultant to the Tiandou Royal Academy? In this way, you can participate in the Soul Master Competition with our team as a team leader, and you can also take care of us."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Dugu Bo agreed happily.
After staying in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire for a few days, the two left and returned to Tiandou City.
Not long after, Ye Lingling's soul power broke through level 50.
Long Chen took Ye Lingling to the Star Dou Great Forest to help her hunt soul beasts.
After having her first ten thousand year soul ring, Ye Lingling's soul power reached level 52.
