Chapter 31: Level 91 Poison Douluo! Ninth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Divine Corrosion Body!
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, suppressing the wild joy in his heart.
He turned around and first bowed deeply towards Xiao Jin.
This was reverence for a powerful being, and also gratitude for this 'assist'.
Then, he looked at Yu Jingcheng, who wore an expression of utter calm, his expression turning solemn. He cupped his hands in a salute and said in a deep voice:
"Sect Master..."
This address of 'Sect Master' was spoken from the heart, without the slightest trace of reluctance.
"This great gift... this old man... will remember it!"
"In the future, if there is any task, Dugu Bo will not refuse even if it means ten thousand deaths!"
No flowery words were needed.
For someone like Dugu Bo, solitary by nature yet one who placed extreme importance on favors and righteousness, this single promise was worth more than a thousand words.
"Alright, enough of this sentimental nonsense."
Yu Jingcheng casually waved his hand, a playful curve lifting the corner of his mouth:
"Hurry up and make your move. Delays breed complications."
"The resentment of this ninety-thousand-year-old beast is no small matter. Absorbing it will likely be quite painful. Don't capsize in a ditch."
"Hahahaha!"
"Don't worry, Young Lord!"
Dugu Bo threw his head back and laughed heartily, his eyes erupting with an unprecedented confidence and sharpness:
"This old man has played with poison his entire life. If I can't even handle this little worm,"
"Then I might as well discard the title of 'Poison Douluo'!"
Dugu Bo had already decided on his Titled name.
Originally, he had thought to call himself 'Jade Scale'.
But upon further thought, the name wasn't imposing enough.
Better to be straightforward, a single character: 'Poison'.
Before his words had fully faded.
A cold gleam flashed explosively in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Hiss——!"
A sharp serpentine cry suddenly rang out.
Brilliant jade-green light erupted behind him as the massive phantom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent materialized out of thin air, emitting a suffocating, cloyingly sweet scent.
"Go!"
Dugu Bo formed his right hand into a claw and swung it down fiercely.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent phantom instantly solidified, opened its gigantic maw, and shot towards the Poison Flood Dragon on the ground like an arrow released from its bow.
Thud!
The already dying Poison Flood Dragon had no power to resist whatsoever.
The jade-green serpent fangs instantly pierced through its tough vital spot. The potent venom injected, severing the last vestiges of its life in an instant.
The Poison Flood Dragon's massive body convulsed violently a few times, then completely stiffened, ceasing all movement.
Hum——!
As the Poison Flood Dragon died, specks of black light began to coalesce above its corpse.
In mere moments.
A massive Soul Ring, pitch-black and gleaming, even faintly revealing a trace of eerie dark crimson, slowly materialized.
A ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring!
The terrifying energy fluctuations it emitted made the surrounding air turn viscous the moment it appeared.
Looking at this nearly perfect Ninth Soul Ring, the fanaticism in Dugu Bo's eyes seemed on the verge of overflowing.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Dugu Bo sat down cross-legged, right beside this poison-miasma-filled swamp, assuming a Cultivating posture.
"Xin'er, step back."
Dugu Bo barked a low command, then raised his hand in a beckoning gesture.
That Soul Ring, shimmering with profound black light, seemed drawn by an invisible force, slowly drifting down towards the top of his head.
"Young Lord, this old man begins the absorption now!"
Although with Xiao Jin and Yu Jingcheng acting as Protectors, this was undoubtedly the safest place under heaven, Dugu Bo still habitually announced his intent.
Yu Jingcheng gave a slight nod, standing with his hands clasped behind his back:
"Absorb it with peace of mind. With me here, the sky won't collapse."
Assured, Dugu Bo no longer allowed himself to be distracted.
He closed his eyes, the Soul Power around his body surging violently. A dense, jade-green poisonous mist instantly enveloped his entire person.
Boom!
The moment that ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring settled around him, Dugu Bo's body shuddered violently.
His brow instantly furrowed tightly, a trace of pain flashing across his face.
Clearly, the Soul shock and immense energy from a ninety-thousand-year Spirit Beast's death,
Even for a level 90 quasi-Titled Douluo, constituted a tremendous trial.
But this was, after all, a Soul Ring with perfectly compatible attributes.
Coupled with Dugu Bo's own profound Foundation, although the impact was fierce, it remained within his capacity to endure.
Watching Dugu Bo who was now fully focused on refining the Soul Ring, a flicker of anticipation passed through Yu Jingcheng's eyes.
"A ninety-thousand-year Poison Flood Dragon Soul Ring..."
If nothing unexpected happened, Dugu Bo's Soul Power would smoothly Breakthrough to level 91.
This trip to bring Dugu Bo to the Star Dou Great Forest,
Could be said to have completely won Dugu Bo's sincere and wholehearted allegiance.
Next.
He could give Dugu Bo an Immortal Herb.
In a short time, Dugu Bo's combat power would increase significantly once more.
By the time the plot begins, Dugu Bo would certainly have already Cultivated to the level of a Super Douluo.
Yu Jingcheng's gaze fell upon the Poison Flood Dragon's gradually shriveling corpse, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.
"This thing is a treasure trove from head to tail. After Old Poison finishes absorbing it, the remaining Materials shouldn't be wasted."
"Perfect as a snack for Xiao Jin."
After a good while.
The previously violent and rampant Soul Power fluctuations, like a receding tide, slowly retracted into Dugu Bo's body.
Within the center of that dense, almost solid jade-green poisonous mist, a figure slowly rose to its feet.
There was no earth-shaking roar, nor any deliberately released pressure.
The Dugu Bo at this moment seemed to have returned to a state of simplicity, appearing like just an ordinary old man.
Level ninety-one, Titled Douluo!
Success!
"Is this... the power of a Titled Douluo?"
Dugu Bo looked down at his own hands, feeling the vast, sea-like Soul Power surging endlessly within his body. His eyes were filled with intoxication.
A difference of one level, a world of difference!
Now, he could easily crush a hundred versions of his pre-Breakthrough self!
For other Soul Masters of the attack system, defeating a hundred of themselves might be somewhat difficult.
But for Dugu Bo.
The serpent venom of a hundred level 90 versions of himself could not harm him in the slightest.
He could, in turn, absorb all that serpent venom clean and effortlessly defeat them.
A long-cherished wish of many years, fulfilled in a single day.
This feeling of controlling everything even gave him the illusion that he could cover the sky with a single hand.
"Congratulations, Old Poison, on achieving your wish."
Yu Jingcheng stood not far away, a smile on his lips as he gently applauded.
Hearing this familiar voice, Dugu Bo's body trembled, instantly sobering from his intoxication with power.
He deeply understood that his attainment today was entirely bestowed by this seemingly young 'Sect Master' before him.
"Many thanks to the Sect Master for making this possible!"
Dugu Bo gathered his focus. With a thought, the last, pitch-black Ninth Soul Ring among the nine rhythmically pulsing Soul Rings beneath his feet suddenly lit up.
Hum——!
In that instant, Dugu Bo's body underwent a bizarre transformation.
His originally aged skin, flesh, and even bones, at this moment, became completely translucent,
As if he were a human-shaped piece of finest jade-green jadeite.
His entire being radiated an eerie yet lethally beautiful allure.
But behind this beauty lay a terrifying, chilling killing intent.
Sizzle——!
As his body turned translucent, an invisible, colorless wave carrying a destructive aura spread outwards from him as the center.
Within a radius of a hundred meters, whether it was solid rock or the lingering bones of the Poison Flood Dragon,
Anything that came into contact with this aura instantly melted away like ice and snow into a pool of pus, leaving not even a trace of residue!
Absolute corrosion!
Poisonous penetration that ignored all defenses!
This was the ninth Soul Skill granted to him by that ninety-thousand-year Poison Flood Dragon — Jade Phosphor Divine Corrosion Body!
