Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Yan's eyes snapped open, her face radiant with joy.
She sprang to her feet and blurted, "Little Brother Xiao Yuan, I've broken through to level thirty!"
But the next second, as she saw the revived forest and the transformed landscape, her excitement froze into shock.
She looked around, finally settling on Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa, where's Little Brother Xiao Yuan?"
"And why has the whole place changed overnight?"
"Did refining that miraculous orchid really take me so long?"
Dugu Bo didn't know how to describe the bizarre events she'd missed.
After he gave her a rough account, she turned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, saw Yang Yuan cocooned in gold, and worry flashed across her face.
"Grandpa, Little Brother Xiao Yuan won't be in danger, will he?"
Dugu Bo soothed her: "Relax. Your little brother is blessed by heaven. This might turn into the greatest stroke of fortune he's ever had."
"All right!"
Dugu Yan could only choose to trust Yang Yuan.
Dugu Bo then asked about the changes she'd felt after absorbing the eight-petal immortal orchid.
Although Yang Yuan's situation weighed on her, Dugu Yan still related what had happened.
Absorbing the orchid had raised her Spirit Power Level from twenty-seven to thirty.
She needed only one spirit ring to break through to Spirit Elder.
Moreover, she sensed that once she gained that ring, her spirit power would probably climb another two or three levels.
Beyond the rise in level, what delighted Dugu Bo even more was that her Spirit had actually evolved.
Sadly, the evolution was limited—she hadn't even advanced as far as Jade Phosphor Serpent.
Still, she could clearly feel her meditation speed increase by a full fifty percent.
Thrilled, Dugu Bo took her hunting for her third spirit ring the very next day.
As expected,
after absorbing the ring Dugu Yan's spirit power shot straight to thirty-four.
Three days after she finished absorbing it,
within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
the golden cocoon suddenly split with a hairline crack.
At first the fissure was tiny, but it rapidly spread until the entire cocoon shattered.
Blinding golden light burst from the cracks, instantly drawing Dugu Bo's gaze.
He flashed across the distance and landed at the edge of the well in the blink of an eye.
Just as he steadied himself
the cocoon burst apart and a figure leapt out, landing beside him.
He looked much the same—only a bit taller, his strong body faintly glowing with crystalline light and subtle divine aura.
To Dugu Bo's eyes, Yang Yuan for a moment seemed less like a Mortal than a youthful god.
"Grandpa Dugu!"
"Why the stunned face—don't you recognize me?"
Yang Yuan greeted him with a grin.
Dugu Bo snapped out of it and laughed.
"Of course I do!"
"But the commotion you caused a few days ago gave me quite a scare."
"What exactly happened to you? You weren't in any danger?"
Dugu Bo's tone was full of concern.
Though he knew Yang Yuan was probably fine, he still had to ask.
"Relax, Grandpa. Not only am I safe, I've gained an incredible benefit."
Yang Yuan met his worried gaze with a smile.
"Good." Dugu Bo exhaled, asked no more.
Everyone has their secrets.
Still, he was curious about Yang Yuan's Spirit Power Level.
He could sense earth-shaking changes in the boy—a complete transformation.
But Yang Yuan merely spread his hands.
"My spirit power hasn't risen; it's still twenty-five."
"How can that be? Even Yan Yan jumped several levels."
Dugu Bo was stunned; he'd half expected Yang Yuan to skyrocket twenty or thirty Ranks.
Yet although his level hadn't budged, Yang Yuan showed no trace of disappointment.
His real harvest this time was unlocking a Supreme BoneDivine Ability uniquely his own.
Manifesting Heaven and Earth!
This ability could enlarge his body and amplify every aspect of his combat power.
The taller he grew, the greater the boost.
Should the ability reach Perfection,
his frame could rival heaven and earth—head propping up the sky, feet shaking the earth, unleashing supreme Divine Might.
The only regret Yang Yuan felt
was that the ability was still a prototype, its power limited.
He had no idea how much more energy the Supreme Bone would need to reach full maturity.
If even the energy beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well couldn't satisfy it, few places on Douluo Continent could.
Perhaps only sites blessed by divine miracles remained, places where he might freeload some power.
After a few more exchanges and learning how Dugu Yan had fared, Yang Yuan asked,
"Grandpa Dugu, since Sister Dugu took the eight-petal immortal orchid, you must have taken the earth dragon golden gourd, right?"
"eight-petal immortal orchid, earth dragon golden gourd…"
"Xiao Yuan, did you coin those names for the Spirit Medicines?"
"They fit perfectly."
Recalling their shapes and effects, Dugu Bo marveled.
Yang Yuan merely smiled without explanation.
Dugu Bo went on excitedly: "I took the earth dragon golden gourd two days ago—guess what happened?"
Yang Yuan chuckled: "If I'm right, your Spirit evolved into a Dragon?"
Dugu Bo burst into laughter.
"Can't hide anything from you!"
"That's right—my Spirit can now be called Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor!"
"And my Rank rose from ninety-two to ninety-three."
Though it was only one level, Dugu Bo was overjoyed.
After level ninety, every single step was a monumental struggle.
An ordinary Titled Douluo might not advance one Rank in twenty years.
Yang Yuan cupped his hands in congratulations: "Then let me offer my heartfelt congratulations, Grandpa Dugu."
Dugu Bo laughed heartily.
"From now on, let's see who dares call me the weakest Titled Douluo!"
Clearly the title still rankled.
Seeing him so elated, Yang Yuan grew eager.
He wanted to witness the new Spirit,
and to see what the ability born from his Supreme Bone actually looked like.
So he said: "Grandpa Dugu, let's spar!"
