Chapter 75 The Subjective Initiative of Martial Soul Evolution

"Xiao Li? What's wrong?"

Guangling gently nudged Han Li, who had fallen into deep thought after Dugu Bo finished speaking.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking about something."

Han Li's thoughts were interrupted, and he answered casually.

"Is it something important again?"

Upon hearing this, Guang Ling immediately tensed up, staring intently at his precious disciple without blinking, fearing it might be some kind of erosion or something similar; his heart couldn't take it.

Sensing his master's nervousness, Han Li felt a warmth in his heart and chuckled, "No, don't worry, Master. It's just that what you said reminded me of something we talked about before."

"The Ninth Grade Dragon Fungus mutated due to the influence of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. I was thinking, since you inherited the ability to purify, will I be able to turn ice into water and generate the same ability when I reach a certain level in the future?"

"Hey, that makes sense. My ice elemental power isn't weak either, so does that mean I can do it too?"

Guangling's eyes lit up, and she had the same thought.

It's highly unlikely to work. The Light Feather Divine Bow has already inherited the cold properties of the ice attribute, Han Li silently answered in his heart, but he didn't say his answer aloud.

Let Master have his fun. He might come up with something new. Dugu Bo is the best example right now.

Now that Dugu Bo is his henchman, his strength is also a reflection of his own strength, and this is also a manifestation of luck, Han Li comforted himself in his heart.

"Then congratulations again, senior. The path to becoming a Super Douluo has been opened for you."

After forcibly calming himself down, Han Li looked at Dugu Bo again with a strange expression, as if he were looking at himself after resetting his stats and creating a top-tier pet.

"Ha, that's right. And now I've broken through to level 93, so level 95 will be a piece of cake. Don't worry, with me here, I guarantee no one can hurt you before I die."

Dugu Bo first laughed heartily, then made a grateful promise again.

"With your words, senior, I might as well go and cause trouble," Han Li joked with a smile.

"Haha, I wouldn't dare agree to that so casually, unless your master is also involved," Dugu Bo replied with a laugh.

"With me included, what use are you?"

Guangling replied with a look of disdain, but then smiled.

In the following time, the group asked some more questions, and Dugu Bo's excitement after his breakthrough finally cooled down temporarily.

"By the way, Xiao Li, when your martial soul evolved before, only a portion of the dragon-like aura within it was drawn out. Do you want me to try and see if the purifying power can erode your martial soul?" Dugu Bo turned and asked.

"It's probably useless, since your ability is derived from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, but it won't hurt to give it a try." Han Li stretched out his hand and handed it to Dugu Bo.

As expected, Dugu Bo's soul power circulated through his body for a while but had no effect.

Dugu Bo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is truly both magical and terrifying."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Seeing that the three of them had fallen silent, Han Li took the initiative to ask, "By the way, senior, Sister Yan's situation is different from yours. She can't operate her Martial Soul True Body like you. Do you have a specific process for the evolution path you've figured out? Would you like us to hear it?"

Upon hearing his words, Guangling and Dugu Yan couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo sorted out his thoughts before slowly speaking:

"I can't go into the specific process, but I'm confident that I can guide Yan Yan down the same evolutionary path as me."

"First of all, our previous approach to activating the martial soul's characteristics was correct. At that time, I noticed that the martial soul was more active than usual, and its connection with me was also closer."

"Then, try not to follow your pure instincts to refine the medicinal power, but keep using your martial spirit to try to devour that energy."

"Use your martial spirit to devour it? How do you devour it? Is there a specific soul power route? When I absorbed the immortal herb, why didn't I feel anything?"

Seeing that his words were becoming increasingly mysterious, Guangling couldn't help but interject.

Dugu Bo ignored his doubts and answered seriously, "I don't know either. The path of soul power circulation was no different from usual. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, which was 'swallowing the dragon with a snake,' and then I succeeded."

He then continued, "When my martial soul evolved for the first time, I was actually quite confused. Anyway, by the time I realized it, my martial soul had already become the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King. It's the same this time. By the way, when Xiao Li evolved, didn't he also let his martial soul actively devour it? You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Han Li nodded in agreement. Dugu Bo's words were indeed correct; he had experienced the same situation.

After sensing that the remaining will within it wanted to break through to the Martial Soul, he refused to let anything else contaminate the Martial Soul, so he chose to actively refine it, and the Ice and Fire Bow did indeed choose to devour and evolve as he expected.

"Then why didn't I notice anything?" Guangling looked confused.

"Perhaps it's because the types of immortal herbs are different. Master, yours only has pure ice element. Although it was also affected by the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass actively rejected other auras during its growth?" Han Li guessed.

"Yes, very likely."

Dugu Bo thought of the fact that most of the medicinal herbs that Han Li had collected did not actually have the aura of dragons, and nodded in agreement.

"According to what you're saying, the young girl also has to rely on luck. I hope she can succeed."

Guangling shook his head, not optimistic that Dugu Yan could completely replicate Dugu Bo's tactics.

"Yes, that's true, but it's still better than feeling your way across the river by touching the stones."

Dugu Bo didn't refute, but glanced at Dugu Yan and smiled.

"Actually, the situation isn't that bad. You two are overthinking it. For Sister Yan, whether she evolves towards the martial soul you have now or naturally transforms into a dragon-type martial soul, it will be a significant improvement for her. At the very least, she won't have to stubbornly stick to the Azure Phosphorous Serpent martial soul path."

"Moreover, unlike her predecessor, her martial soul poison is currently dormant. In addition, she has deliberately adjusted her soul skills. Although her congenital fetal poison is difficult to completely eliminate, it does not need to be completely eliminated at all, and there is no need for human intervention. As long as she can successfully evolve, she can directly suppress the poison with her new martial soul. Unless she insists on following the same path as her predecessor, the problem will no longer be a problem."

Han Li was a little confused by what Guang Ling and Dugu Bo said. They subconsciously forgot that Dugu Yan's martial soul was just the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, an ordinary high-level martial soul. No matter how it evolved, it would be a gain.

"That's true."

Dugu Bo and Guang Ling then realized that they had subconsciously applied Dugu Bo's situation to consider Dugu Yan, which was a wrong starting point.
