The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 107 Dragon Poison: Lone Goose

The Azure Phosphorus Serpent Queen corresponds to the female Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor in the Soul Beast Realm.

The transformation of a snake into a dragon is divided into multiple stages.

However, a snake that can transform into a dragon must be the ancestor of all snakes, just like Dugu Bo.

Therefore, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul first evolved into the top-tier Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, in preparation for its subsequent dragon transformation.

In addition to the potential for her martial soul to transform into a dragon, she also gained the ability to fly as a five-clawed dragon soaring through the heavens.

Although Dugu Yan did not gain new attributes like Dugu Bo, after awakening her martial soul dragon bloodline with the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the original poison of her Azure Phosphorous Serpent martial soul and the undead attribute of her Necromancer Skeleton martial soul have surpassed the top level and are approaching the ultimate attribute.

The poison she used was essentially dragon venom, not snake venom.

If we disregard the enhancement of soul power, then Dugu Yan's poison attribute is a level higher than Dugu Bo's.

A strange roar rang out, and the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, which had been hovering in mid-air, vanished.

The next moment, Dugu Yan had completed the Snake King's possession. Her hair transformed into countless dark green snake shadows, and her feet no longer joined together to form a snake tail, but instead floated off the ground.

A faint purple eyeshadow appeared around Dugu Yan's eyes. Her ten fingers were wrapped in purple poison gas, which transformed into poisonous claws. Her entire body was covered in a layer of faintly visible dark green armor, which was the scale armor given to her by the five-clawed dragon. It could reduce the air resistance on her body and give her a certain degree of defense.

At the very moment the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King was possessed, all four of Dugu Yan's spirit rings lit up on her body.

Looking at the fourth soul ring that was flashing with dazzling purple light, Xia Liang smiled. Absorbing the power of two immortal herbs had indeed caused Dugu Yan's soul power to surge from level thirty-six to level forty.

The fourth soul ring on Dugu Yan at this moment should have been obtained by absorbing the soul ring of the venomous python, which had seven thousand years of cultivation.

This story begins a few months ago.

When they were searching for the Shadow Lord in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Gastlys found a poisonous python soul beast with seven thousand years of cultivation in a poisonous wilderness.

Dugu Yan's martial soul is about to evolve in the direction of a dragon. The bloodline of the python is closer to that of a dragon than that of a snake. Absorbing the soul ring of the poisonous python soul beast can not only enhance the original poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul, but also prepare for the dragon transformation.

Therefore, Xia Liang decided to use the Bone Dragon Spike to weaken most of the bones, and then use ice energy to freeze the 7,000-year-old venomous python soul beast in the Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

Just before leaving the Dugu residence, Xia Liang entrusted the frozen venomous python soul beast to Dugu Bo for safekeeping.

Now that Dugu Yan has absorbed the Poisonous Python's soul ring and advanced to become a four-ring Soul Master, her soul power has reached level forty-three.

With his X-ray vision deactivated, the meridian diagram of Dugu Yan's body disappeared from Xia Liang's eyes. To his surprise, Dugu Yan's eight extraordinary meridians had actually been opened up under the domineering medicinal power of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

With his martial spirit upgraded to the top level, his soul power surged by four levels, and his cultivation limit increased, Xia Liang couldn't help but sigh. In a sense, the benefits that the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and Evergreen Oil Hemp Vine brought to Dugu Yan were even greater than the benefits that the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb brought to him.

Because the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass does not increase soul power.

However, because the medicinal effects acted on the martial soul, soul power, and body respectively, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul did not directly transform into a dragon.

The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and Evergreen Oilseed Vine, these two miraculous herbs can complement each other, but there is still a difference in their quality.

"See? Right now, my talent and strength are terrifyingly powerful."

After dispelling the Snake King's possession and retrieving her martial soul and soul rings, Dugu Yan smiled confidently. "Ah Liang, we still have a duel we haven't done yet. How about we go to the training ground for a duel? We can use this duel to confirm our positions in the family."

At this moment, Yu Feng, possessed by the Wind Chime Bird martial spirit, suddenly flew down from the sky and landed beside Dugu Yan. He said somewhat anxiously, "Yanzi, I've finally found you. Come with me quickly, Teacher Qin told us to hurry to the training ground to assemble. He said there are new trials arranged for us."

"What kind of training?" Dugu Yan asked.

"The training will still be in the Great Soul Arena. However, this time the arena will be in a different city's Great Soul Arena," Yu Feng recalled before saying, "I think it's called the Soto Great Soul Arena. Teacher Qin told us to get ready and set off for Soto City tomorrow."

"What exactly is Teacher Qin thinking?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled. "As the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City can't even find an opponent in the Imperial City Great Soul Arena. What powerful Soul Masters could Soto City possibly have?"

"You ask me how I would know? Just hurry up and get there. Everyone's waiting for you."

When the sound disappeared, Yu Feng had already flown far away.

"Yanyan, go quickly," Xia Liang said. "The pressure from this Soul Battle trial might just push your Martial Soul to the Dragon Transformation stage. Then I'll keep my promise and fight you in a Soul Battle. Whoever wins will have higher status in the family. How about it?"

"Okay. Then wait for me to come back from my training." Dugu Yan suddenly hugged Xia Liang's neck and kissed him on the cheek, then ran towards the training ground.

Watching Dugu Yan disappear from sight, Xia Liang turned and walked towards the cave simulation field.

Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, Xue Qinghe walked in from the gate of a nearby academy. The resonance of their martial souls immediately caused them to exchange glances.

It seems that their experiences in the palace these past few days have allowed them to get to know each other better, and the resonance between their martial spirits has become even stronger.

With just a glance, Xue Qinghe seemed to know what Xia Liang was going to do.

Xia Liang also roughly guessed Xue Qinghe's purpose in coming to the academy.

Upon reaching the academy gate, Xia Liang bowed respectfully to Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, "Brother, this Martial Soul Resonance is truly wondrous. Would you like to go to the cave's simulation field to cultivate?"

Xia Liang nodded. "Yes. Brother Xue, you came to the academy to deliver the Elder's Token to me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe did not hide anything and took out a token from his waist and handed it over.

"My dear brother, let me remind you of something. The most dangerous creatures in Death Valley are not the spirit beasts, but the spirit masters from the Spirit Hall who are also training there. They are the most outstanding spirit masters on the continent, with the right to be arrogant and disdainful of others, and their ambitions are even greater than those of ordinary spirit masters."

"The Elder's Token represents the identity and status of an Elder of the Spirit Hall. If you show this token and the other party still makes things difficult for you, you can act first and report later. The Elder himself will take responsibility for you. Of course, there is also the possibility that you will be unable to defeat the other party and be killed, so it is best not to provoke trouble."

After accepting the token, Xia Liang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Xue Qinghe, "I understand, Brother Xue, thank you for the reminder."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head over there. Be careful on your way." With that, Xue Qinghe walked towards the Dean's building.

Watching Xue Qinghe walk away, Xia Liang glanced at the Elder's Token in his hand.

The token is black, with a design on the front composed of three different graphics, and the words "Blood Stab" engraved on the back.

"Bloodthirst" must be the elder's order from that Porcupine Douluo.

With this, I can finally enter Death Valley with peace of mind.

Twenty days later.

One hundred kilometers away from Wuhun City.

Death Valley, entrance.

Xia Liang showed the Elder's Order to the Spirit Hall Soul Masters on guard and was granted free passage.

Walking straight along the gloomy path from the entrance for three miles, he could see the skeletons of soul beasts or soul masters by the roadside from time to time, along with bloodstains, and he could also faintly smell the stench of decaying corpses.
