Chapter 82 — Evil God Wings
After finishing testing his first martial soul, Dugu Bo couldn't wait to release his second martial soul.
As the martial soul was activated, strands of silver light continuously emerged from beneath his skin.
Very quickly, his entire body turned brilliantly silver, as if it had been cast from pure silver.
Dugu Bo clenched his fist. The surging power within made him burst into laughter.
He could clearly feel that his strength had reached tens of thousands of jin.
And this was without using any soul skills. If he did, his pure physical strength might approach one hundred thousand jin.
One must know—even Tang San, after becoming the Sea God, required divine power to wield the hundred-thousand-jin Sea God Trident.
If Dugu Bo obtained one or two more spirit rings, his strength would likely exceed that threshold.
Thinking of strength, he naturally thought of the Titan Giant Ape.
That soul beast possessed terrifying strength and top-tier defense—perfectly suited for his Body Martial Soul.
He had already set his sights on its spirit ring.
Perhaps after obtaining it, he could rely purely on physical strength to wield the Sea God Trident, a divine weapon.
Thinking of the Sea God's Heart, Dugu Bo even began considering whether, when the time was right, he should fuse with it and inherit the position of the Sea God.
At that point—
He might truly become invincible on the continent.
This martial soul… was truly powerful.
Just as this thought crossed his mind—
A sudden burning sensation spread across his body.
"What's going on?"
The heat intensified rapidly, especially on his back. The searing pain felt like being burned by fire, causing Dugu Bo to frown deeply.
Before he could think further—
Rip—!
A pair of wide, pure black wings burst out from his back, tearing through his robe.
At the same time, curled black demonic patterns surfaced from beneath his skin, spreading across the silver surface.
If one ignored the wings, Dugu Bo now resembled a ferocious white tiger.
But the transformation didn't stop.
A sinister aura enveloped him, and even his pupils gradually turned completely black.
Now, Dugu Bo radiated overwhelming evil energy. Combined with his now youthful face, he looked completely different from two months ago.
His entire body exuded a demonic presence. With the pair of black wings behind him—
He resembled an ancient demon god descending upon the world.
Dugu Bo could clearly feel—
These wings were not a soul bone.
They were closer to energy wings, something generated by the Evil God Pearl.
This pair of wings carried two abilities from the Dark Devilgod Tiger:
Dark Devilgod Thunder — a powerful offensive ability
Evil God Protection — the defensive ability once used to block Bibi Dong's attack
With this, his second martial soul now possessed multiple abilities.
His spirit ring skill—Dark Devilgod Transformation—was an all-around enhancement.
And the appearance of these wings directly compensated for his speed weakness.
After all, these wings were the key reason the Dark Devilgod Tiger could face the siege of two beast kings and still retreat unharmed.
Now, his speed had likely reached the level of an Agility-type Titled Douluo.
With one offensive skill, one defensive skill, and his already terrifying physical body—
His second martial soul had become well-rounded in every aspect.
However, Dugu Bo had no time to dwell on that.
The moment the demonic patterns and black wings appeared, a surge of evil energy rushed straight toward his mind.
His expression changed.
He immediately mobilized his spiritual power to resist the invasion.
If that evil energy truly entered his mind—
He might no longer be himself.
Fortunately, his spiritual strength was powerful enough. The evil energy, after all, had no independent consciousness.
Like a receding tide, it withdrew, shrinking back into his dantian.
Only then did Dugu Bo notice something shocking—
His poison core had fused with the Evil God Pearl.
Now, within his dantian, there was only a single black pearl.
Around it floated misty light in green, cyan, blue, and silver, gently pulsing.
No matter what, the evil aura had retreated. Dugu Bo let out a breath of relief.
He just didn't know whether the same situation would occur the next time he released his martial soul.
To avoid problems at critical moments, he decided he needed a clear understanding of his abilities.
With a thought, he withdrew his martial soul.
The demonic patterns receded back into his body, and his skin returned to normal.
Taking a deep breath, he released it again.
Brilliant silver light once more surged beneath his skin, followed by curling demonic patterns.
His black hair moved without wind, giving him an eerie aura.
Exhale—
Dugu Bo let out a long breath.
Fortunately, the evil aura did not appear again.
It seemed that earlier reaction was only due to just fusing with the Evil God Pearl.
Now, he finally had a clearer understanding of his strength.
Knowing one's own strength clearly was essential.
Underestimating oneself was fine—
Overestimating oneself was courting death.
After finishing all this, Dugu Bo suddenly felt hungry.
This surprised him.
As a Titled Douluo, he could go days without eating and feel nothing.
It hadn't even been a full day since his last meal—so why was he hungry?
He didn't think too much about it.
With a light tap of his foot, his body shot forward.
No matter what, hunger had to be dealt with.
"Whoa—!"
With that step, Dugu Bo nearly lost control of his body and almost fell flat on his face.
His strength had increased too suddenly, and he hadn't yet adapted to it.
It seemed he would need a few days to fully get used to his new power.
He rose into the air and flew out of the valley near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Before long, he returned with a large white rabbit in hand.
Its snow-white fur and ruby-like eyes made it somewhat similar to Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit form.
The only difference—
Its pupils were shaped like lightning.
This soul beast was called a Lightning Rabbit. It wasn't very aggressive.
But as food—
It was an excellent choice.
Compared to other soul beast meat, rabbit meat was especially tender.
Braised rabbit head and charcoal-grilled rabbit legs were both dishes Dugu Bo was quite skilled at.
Don't think he couldn't cook.
He had lived alone at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for so long.
And in the past, he even raised Dugu Yan there.
If he couldn't cook—
The two of them would have starved long ago.
