Chapter 61: Evolution of the Body Martial Soul
Douluo: Dugu Bo's Life Simulator
Sunset Forest
The previously tranquil surface of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well suddenly rippled.
At first—
Just a faint disturbance.
But soon—
Ripples became waves—
Waves turned into splashes—
In mere moments—
The entire Yin-Yang Well began to boil violently.
At the point where the ice and fire springs met—
A small vortex formed—
Gradually drawing the two opposing energies into slow fusion.
At the center of that vortex—
Was Dugu Bo.
Completely naked.
His clothes had long since turned to ash under the extreme forces of the Yin-Yang Well.
His expression twisted wildly—
Shifting between red, blue, and green—
Like a master of face-changing.
Inside his body—
Three terrifying poisons raged:
Extreme ice poison
Extreme fire poison
Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison
The three toxins churned violently within him.
Just as he struggled to endure their torment—
The ice and fire poisons, unable to suppress the serpent poison—
Triggered the surrounding energies of the Yin-Yang Well.
And thus—
The entire spring fell into chaos.
Dugu Bo panicked.
Just the three poisons inside him were already pushing him to the brink of death—
If the external energy flooded into his body—
He would explode instantly.
The power contained within the Yin-Yang Well—
Was far beyond what even a Titled Douluo could withstand.
Fortunately—
That massive energy did not directly enter his body.
Instead—
It circled around him—
Forming a raging water tornado.
Only faint strands of energy seeped into his body through his pores.
As if—
They were being blocked by the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs.
"…What's going on?"
Dugu Bo muttered, still shaken.
But before he could think further—
The vortex accelerated.
Faster—
And faster—
The pressure it exerted became overwhelming.
Dugu Bo felt as if his body was about to be crushed apart.
Yet—
He couldn't even circulate his spirit power.
He could only rely on his physical body—
To resist the crushing force.
At that moment—
He felt a pain worse than death.
Just as his body seemed on the verge of collapse—
A faint dark golden glow emerged beneath his skin.
Dugu Bo's eyes widened.
His already powerful body—
Was strengthening at a visible rate.
What is this…?
Could it be… the martial soul I obtained from the simulation reward?
Is this… a god-level martial soul?
He was shocked.
As the dark golden light spread—
The pain from the three poisons actually lessened slightly.
With the external crisis easing—
Dugu Bo hurriedly focused inward.
And what he saw—
Filled him with joy.
With the faint strands of ice and fire energy entering his body—
The previously rampant Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison
Was gradually being suppressed—
Forced back—
Toward his dantian.
There—
His poison core spun rapidly—
Absorbing the red, blue, and green energies—
Growing stronger with every moment.
Outside his body—
The alternating ice and fire waters continuously tempered his flesh.
Inside—
The poison core refined and absorbed the toxins.
Slowly—
Under the relentless tempering—
Dark golden patterns began to emerge across his body.
His consciousness—
Once overwhelmed by pain—
Gradually sank into a deep state of cultivation.
Aside from the rapidly spinning vortex at the center—
The entire Yin-Yang Well returned to silence.
White and red remained clearly divided—
Mist rose gently into the air.
Time passed—
One night slipped by—
And dawn gradually brightened the sky.
Yet—
The vortex still spun.
Dugu Bo showed no sign of emerging.
At one point—
Chao Tianxiang came by—
Seemingly curious about his whereabouts.
Meng Shu had yet to break through—
Still in seclusion.
After looking around—
She left.
The valley remained quiet.
Someone once said:
Close your eyes and open them—
A day passes.
Close your eyes and never open them—
A lifetime passes.
Time sometimes feels long—
Yet fleeting.
Such is life.
Night fell once more.
Darkness blanketed the land again.
Within the Yin-Yang Well—
Everything returned to shadow.
And yet—
Dugu Bo still did not surface.
It was as if—
He had completely vanished within the spring.
Only the vortex at the center remained—
Ever-present.
Then—
At a certain moment—
The water stirred.
Ripples spread across the surface—
And the long-standing vortex slowly came to a stop.
Moments later—
A head suddenly burst out of the water.
Who else could it be—
But Dugu Bo?
He glanced around cautiously—
Like a thief.
Only after confirming no one was nearby—
Did he rise into the air—
Leaping out of the water.
A pale figure flashed—
And in the next instant—
He landed on the shore.
A loose black robe covered his body.
Dugu Bo had changed—
Significantly.
His once dark green hair—
Had turned jet black and lustrous.
This meant one thing—
The poison within his body—
Had been completely eradicated.
The green tint—
Caused by years of toxin corruption—
Had vanished.
Looking at the calm surface of the spring—
Dugu Bo felt a lingering fear.
"That was close…"
If he hadn't chosen the body martial soul earlier—
Forget losing cultivation—
He might not have survived at all.
Suddenly—
He froze.
Wait… my spirit power level…
He quickly closed his eyes—
And sensed his condition.
Moments later—
His eyes snapped open.
A smile slowly spread across his face—
Then—
He burst into laughter.
"HAHAHAHA—!"
Why?
Because—
Not only had his spirit power not decreased—
It had increased.
He had broken through—
To Level 93—
And was even approaching Level 94.
Whether Tang San had lied—
Or whether it was due to the mutation of the Yin-Yang Well—
He didn't care.
All that mattered—
Was that he had grown stronger.
And—
That wasn't all.
With a thought—
Dugu Bo opened his mouth—
And spat out a bead the size of a dragon's eye.
His poison core.
But now—
It had changed.
Previously—
It was entirely dark green.
Now—
It shimmered with red, blue, and green, intertwined.
This was the crystallization of his martial soul.
Which meant—
His martial soul itself—
Had also evolved.
Excitement surged through him.
Without hesitation—
He released it.
A flash of soul light erupted—
And behind him—
A massive figure slowly appeared.
Along with it—
Nine soul rings emerged in unison.
