Chapter 130: Myriad Poison True Dragon Scripture, True Dragon Nine Transformations!
Zhao Yun's body trembled slightly as he closed his eyes and spent a moment digesting the information.
"So, it can actually be done this way; if this method succeeds, my combat power will increase several times over."
"Begin," Lin Yuan said calmly.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yun spoke no further. After setting up a barrier around the area, he sat down cross-legged.
Rumble!
A terrifying aura of lightning spread throughout the room. Countless silver arcs, about the size of a thumb and shining with a dazzling silver light, fully formed inside his body, flickered around Zhao Yun like frenzied silver serpents.
Under his control, that vast Rank 99 soul power, as boundless as the sea, began to gather, rotate, and compress at his dantian.
Time passed second by second.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Yun's forehead, his expression tense.
Even for an Ultimate Douluo, compressing such enormous soul power was extremely difficult and dangerous.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yun suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a low voice.
"Condense!"
A crystal, about the size of a thumb and shining with a dazzling silver light, was fully formed inside his body.
The first soul core.
The Lightning Soul Core.
An aura far more condensed and profound than before flashed across Zhao Yun's body.
His strength had advanced beyond the peak of the Douluo Continent.
Zhao Yun stood up, feeling the endless power surging within his body. He immediately bowed deeply to Lin Yuan.
"Thank you, my lord!"
"I feel that my strength has increased by at least thirty percent compared to before."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Tomorrow I will take you to meet Dugu Bo. I will need you to protect him while he condenses his attribute soul core."
"I obey!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yun disappeared from the spot.
...
Midnight.
As the new day arrived, the system notification sounded on time.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's diary entry.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Chaos God-Killing Codex (Fourth Layer)!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Spiritual Soul Core Condensation Method!]
Lin Yuan looked at the reward information appearing in his mind, a trace of joy flashing through his eyes.
Although his current strength was not yet enough to condense a spiritual soul core, Zhao Yun could.
Once Zhao Yun succeeded, he would possess dual soul cores.
His combat power would increase by a terrifying amount.
As for the fourth layer of the Chaos God-Killing Codex, he had already obtained the third layer during that month at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This fourth layer corresponded exactly to Soul Ancestor-level cultivation, preparing him for after he broke through Rank 40.
However, the most urgent matter right now was to master the spear technique included in the third layer.
Lin Yuan's gaze fell on the martial skill section attached to the third layer of the technique.
There was a highly imposing area-of-effect spear technique recorded there.
[Spear Technique Name: Sweep the Eight Desolations]
[Type: Area Attack / Burst]
[Description: Channel soul power through the spear and unleash a 360-degree destructive sweep centered on the user.]
[Characteristics: The spear momentum moves like a dragon and carries the weight of a thousand jun. Once this move is unleashed, everything within a hundred meters becomes a forbidden zone. It possesses extreme knockback and crushing power.]
...
Meanwhile,
Inside the girls' dormitory.
[Ding! Today's highest diary resonance belongs to Dugu Yan.]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Supreme Poison Technique—Myriad Poison True Dragon Scripture!]
"Hmm?"
Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the emerald-green jade slip that had appeared in her hand.
"Myriad Poison True Dragon Scripture?"
"Is this the cultivation technique Lin Yuan mentioned in his diary before? The one different from the meditation methods we currently practice?"
She immediately sank her consciousness into the jade slip.
In the next moment, a massive stream of information poured into her mind.
[Technique: Myriad Poison True Dragon Scripture]
[Description: A technique specially designed for snake-type poison martial souls. It cultivates by absorbing poisons from the environment and devouring the blood essence of high-level dragon species.]
[Effect: When cultivated to great completion, the practitioner can shed the serpent body and transform into the legendary Myriad Poison True Dragon Emperor. Immune to all poisons, with all poisons submitting.]
[Included: True Dragon Nine Transformations (nine supporting martial skills)]
Dugu Yan's breathing instantly became rapid.
"This… this was practically made for me!"
Although her martial soul was already showing signs of evolving into a dragon, it was not yet a true dragon.
This technique could greatly accelerate the process of her martial soul transforming into a dragon.
Dugu Yan continued reading.
The technique also included nine supporting martial skills, collectively known as the True Dragon Nine Transformations.
With her current Rank 38 soul power, she could unlock and learn the first three transformations.
Each one provided extremely powerful enhancements.
[First Transformation: Phantom Dragon Steps]
[Type: Movement / Speed]
[Description: The body moves like an illusion and flows like a roaming dragon. When activated, dragon phantoms appear around the user to confuse enemies.]
[Enhancement: Movement speed increases by 100%. During high-speed movement, there is also a chance to evade enemy lock-on soul skills.]
Dugu Yan widened her beautiful eyes.
This True Dragon Nine Transformations seemed somewhat similar to the dragonification technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan's dragonification method had severe limitations.
It could only awaken after Rank 30, and the martial soul had to be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
If a mutation occurred, the soul master would lose the ability to undergo dragonification.
But this cultivation technique had far fewer restrictions.
Suppressing her excitement, Dugu Yan continued reading.
[Second Transformation: Soul-Shattering Dragon Claw]
[Type: Close Combat / Power Attack]
[Description: Condense poison energy and soul power into both hands, transforming them into indestructible dragon claws. Each strike carries highly corrosive poison.]
[Enhancement: Hand attack power increases by 100%. Attacks gain a "shield-breaking" effect, dealing double damage to defensive barriers.]
Seeing the second form, a doubt appeared in Dugu Yan's mind.
Her Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor martial soul had already begun to grow dragon horns, but it still had not developed limbs.
Could she even learn this move?
[Third Transformation: Dragon Scale Golden Body]
[Type: Defense / Damage Reflection]
[Description: Condense a layer of poisonous dragon-scale armor across the surface of the body.]
[Enhancement: Defense increases by 100%. When receiving physical attacks, 30% of the damage is reflected back to the attacker and applies a poisoning effect.]
After reading the descriptions of these three transformations, Dugu Yan was completely stunned.
Speed enhancement.
Attack enhancement.
Defense enhancement.
Even if she couldn't fully master them yet, the enhancements alone were terrifying.
Even the evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul of Ning Rongrong could not currently provide such buffs.
"Lin Yuan… because of you, I've been able to change so much. How am I supposed to repay you?"
Dugu Yan recalled the kiss earlier that day, her cheeks warming slightly.
At that moment, she felt incredibly excited.
That feeling of transformation, combined with the three powerful skills, made her feel incredibly powerful.
