Chapter 98: Yue Guan vs. Dugu Bo
Bronze?
Twin Sun Qi felt the change in the Black Iron Power in his arms, and his heart was touched.
Black Iron, Bronze... and then Silver and Gold, a very familiar division.
"Is the original martial soul awakening for the second time?"
Although he knew that he was still a long way from the second awakening, this was definitely not the second awakening, but a mutation of his first Soul Skill.
But it was obvious that the mutation of this Soul Skill was following the rules of the second awakening.
Soul Ring mutation...
"If I remember correctly, the second awakening of the original martial soul will indeed cause the Soul Ring to mutate due to the Soul Master's development of the Soul Skill, causing the Soul Ring to age longer."
"So, in the case of the twin original bodies, is it not the case that the development is complete?"
Sun Qi shifted some of his remaining consciousness to analyze the changes in his twin bodies.
The twin bodies' consciousnesses were now focused on using Black Iron's power to absorb and digest the Yin and Yang energy, leaving them with no extra energy to analyze the current changes within. However, he still had the consciousness of his other bodies to assist him.
"Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold—there are only four levels in total. If Gold corresponds to a hundred thousand years, then Black Iron would be a hundred years, and Bronze a thousand. However, the Spirit Rings haven't transformed directly. They're probably just accumulating foundation, and will only fully realize it when their martial spirits awaken a second time."
"So, the twin bodies need to digest their nutritious meals more, using this Yin and Yang energy to evolve the Black Iron Power—no, it should be called Bronze Power now—into Silver Power."
Silver Power is at least equivalent to a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring.
"According to this theory, the principle behind the second awakening driving Spirit Ring mutations should be the development of Soul Skills. The original Douluo Dalu II era's main body mastered combat skills, and it's likely that they could be used to enrich the effectiveness of the corresponding Soul Skills of the sect's disciples."
Development, besides simply mutating existing powers, can also involve exploring new areas. For example, the Black Iron Power currently strengthens the arms of Twin Sun Qi. If it could penetrate his body and serve as a supernatural force for specialized attacks, this could also be considered the development of a Soul Skill.
The universal approach developed by the Body Sect is development. The sect accumulates combat skills, and disciples then cultivate them, enriching their own Soul Skills with the wisdom of their predecessors. With sufficient practice, they can mutate their Spirit Rings.
"If you need to develop Tongbi Fist, I can provide some assistance," This was part of the Stone Monkey's consciousness.
Tongbi Fist can be combined with his Star-Grabbing and Moon-Grabbing skills.
It simply lacks a foundation.
"You can acquire corresponding basic abilities on the third and fourth Spirit Rings, and then develop them through Tongbi Fist. This would be both an expansion of Tongbi Fist and the development of the third and fourth Soul Skills."
The interconnection between Soul Skills could also be considered a form of development. Combining the three Spirit Rings would be like merging them into one.
Twin Sun Qi, exhausted from training, collapsed to the ground, his arms numb and unable to feel them.
Fortunately, his martial spirit, his arms, quickly recovered, healing his physical arms in reverse.
"This is truly a great opportunity I've stumbled upon by accident."
Twin Sun Qi felt that the nutritional meal Ju Douluo had developed was no less effective than a magical herb after prolonged use.
"I don't know why he's so effeminate, given such a profound understanding of yin-yang pharmacology..."
Bibi Dong, after observing the four individuals, gave each of them her assessment. Twin Sun Qi was clearly the best, receiving a perfect rating. Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan received excellent, average, and fair ratings, respectively.
"Your Holiness, I've already developed the nutritional meal and prepared two months' worth for Sun Qi and the other four. I have some personal matters to attend to during this time."
"Yes, granted."
Having achieved such a great feat, Ju Douluo naturally easily requested leave.
"By the way, you said the Yin and Yang energy will accumulate within the body, and subsequent intensive training will ensure perfect digestion. What if there's no time for that?"
Bibi Dong didn't let Ju Douluo go. Instead, she stopped him and demanded more details about the nutritional meal's side effects.
"Hey, just control the dosage. For someone like Sun Qi, who digests perfectly, he can definitely use it continuously. For someone like Yan, control the dosage at each title stage. When he absorbs a Spirit Ring, stimulate his martial soul and detonate the internal Yin and Yang energy. Then observe. If the stimulation from the Spirit Ring allows his martial soul to absorb the Yin and Yang energy, then continue to use the nutritional meal. If not, then don't use it anymore."
Ju Douluo's solution was simple.
Spirit Rings.
Wait for the opportunity to absorb a Spirit Ring, and then use the stimulation to allow the martial soul to absorb the Yin and Yang energy.
Too much accumulation is poisonous, but as long as it's not excessive, it's harmless. Instead, it remains dormant within the body, serving as a catalyst for the martial soul's benign mutation.
Bibi Dong showed a satisfied look.
"Yueguan, you have done a great deed this time."
Ju Douluo smiled charmingly and said, "Thanks to the strong support of His Holiness the Pope, otherwise Yueguan would not have this opportunity."
Sunset Forest.
Yueguan walked with the wind.
He came to the place where he had fought with Poison Douluo many times.
"You are late."
Dugu Bo walked out of the dark shadows like a poisonous snake.
"Humph, whether you come early or late, the ending will be the same." Yueguan stretched out his hand, wiggled his fingers in front of him, revealing a confident look.
"Are you scared?" Dugu Bo sneered.
This time, he was full of confidence.
The biggest hidden danger of Poison Douluo was gone, and he was in his prime.
"Stop talking nonsense, and just do it if you want to fight."
Nine Spirit Rings appeared, and Yue Guan radiated a brilliant golden light. Chrysanthemum petals, like metallic blades, surrounded him, and above him was the shadow of a magnificent, towering chrysanthemum.
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, entering his spirit form, transforming into a gigantic Bilin Snake King.
Yue Guan was wary.
He had sensed the change in Dugu Bo the moment he met him this time, and guessed he would improve.
"Yue Guan, taste the surprise I have for you!"
Dugu Bo opened his maw and unleashed a purplish-black venomous mist.
"Still this rubbish Bilin Snake venom. I don't know how many times I've cracked it," Yue Guan scoffed.
The two, one dealing with medicine, the other with poison, would clash periodically, often in a test of pharmacology.
Dugu Bo, known as the Poison Douluo, was always defeated by Yue Guan, a point that infuriated Dugu Bo the most.
"Haha, that might not be the case this time!"
Dugu Bo said confidently.
He hadn't understood Juhuaguan's spirit before, thinking it was just a normal, top-tier spirit.
Now he knew.
The Wonderful Sky-reaching Chrysanthemum, a rare treasure of heaven and earth! But when it came to Juhuaguan, it didn't display its true strength, because Juhuaguan was being attacked by his own spirit.
Being attacked meant his spirit was flawed.
Violent toxins were useless against him, but what if it was a Yin-Cold Poison?
A Yin-Cold Poison mixed with a potent poison!
