Yu Nan waved his hand dismissively:
"Eat it quickly, then go and cultivate."
"Once you're stronger, you'll be able to better protect Yanyan, which will also be a help to me."
"Yes! This junior obeys!"
Dugu Bo said no more and solemnly walked up to the eight-petaled fairy orchid.
He took a deep breath, carefully removed it, and sat cross-legged.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Bo put the eight-petaled orchid into his mouth.
The herb, once ingested, transforms into a warm, soothing current that instantly flows throughout the entire body.
Dugu Bo felt warm all over, as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle yet firm force began to coursing through his body.
Wherever it goes, old wounds and accumulated toxins are quickly cleared away, like snow melting away.
boom!
A powerful surge of soul energy erupted from Dugu Bo's body.
The bottleneck that had kept him stuck at the peak of level 91 for many years was instantly broken by the impact of this medicinal power, and then—
break!
Level 92!
Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out.
Feeling the surging, vast soul power within his body, and an unprecedented sense of ease, Dugu Bo couldn't help but roar to the sky:
"Level 92! I've finally broken through!"
"Thank you so much for the medicine, senior!"
Seeing the overjoyed Dugu Bo, Yu Nan's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
The stronger this old poison master becomes, the easier it will be for him to get things done in the future.
"Alright, don't get too excited yet."
Yu Nan interrupted Dugu Bo's revelry, turning his gaze to the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes:
"Now that everyone has been promoted, it's time to get down to business."
"I have already chosen a target for Yan Yan's fifth spirit ring."
"Right here in the Sunset Forest, there is a soul beast that would be perfect for her..."
What Yu Nan was referring to was a Medusa that was over 70,000 years old.
After Yu Nan transmigrated into the body of a poisonous dragon, he discovered this guy.
This guy is just right.
Medusa?!
"And it's over 70,000 years old?!"
Dugu Bo gasped, shaking his head like a rattle-drum, his face deathly pale as he stood in front of Dugu Yan.
His tone was urgent and resolute:
"No! Absolutely not!"
"Senior, this is absolutely impossible!"
Dugu Bo was so anxious that the veins on his forehead bulged, and he earnestly tried to dissuade him:
"Although Yan Yan absorbed your 200,000-year soul ring, it was because you offered it willingly, and the energy was gentle."
Furthermore, the absence of any resentment or vengeance from the soul is necessary for absorption beyond one's level.
"But this Medusa is different!"
"It is a wild soul beast. If it is hunted down, it will surely be filled with boundless resentment before it dies!"
Seventy thousand years of cultivation—that's equivalent to the level of a Soul Saint or Soul Douluo!
"Generally speaking, the limit for a Soul Master's fifth Soul Ring is around 12,000 years."
Even if Yan Yan is exceptionally talented, she can only absorb enough nutrients for twenty or thirty thousand years at most.
"Seventy thousand years...that's a span of fifty to sixty thousand years!"
"The energy shock and soul vibration involved are simply beyond what a Soul Master who has just reached level 50 can withstand!"
This is practically suicide!
Seeing Dugu Bo jumping up and down in a panic, Yu Nan casually picked at his ear:
"Old poisoner, how come your courage is getting worse as you get older?"
"If I say it's okay, then it definitely will be okay."
Yu Nan emerged from Dugu Yan's body, her purplish-gold phantom looking down at Dugu Bo with a hint of disappointment in her eyes:
"You think I don't know the risks of absorbing a spirit ring from a higher-level opponent?"
It boils down to two points:
First, the body could not withstand the impact of the enormous soul power and exploded.
Secondly, their minds cannot withstand the shockwaves from the souls of the dead spirit beasts, turning them into idiots.
Yu Nan extended one finger and gently shook it:
"Let's start with the first point: physical strength."
"Old poisoner, have you forgotten what Yan Yan just went through?"
"With the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, the Blazing Apricot Blossom, and the tempering of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, she has now cultivated the 'Ice and Fire Golden Body'!"
Impervious to water and fire, and immune to all poisons!
"In addition, that snow-white swan kiss just now has completely stimulated the potential of the 200,000-year-old venomous dragon torso bone in her body, strengthening her meridians and bones to an unbelievable degree."
Yu Nan sneered:
"To put it bluntly, in terms of physical strength alone, Yan Yan is now tougher than you, a Title Douluo!"
The energy impact of a mere 70,000-year-old spirit ring would at most make her feel a little strained; to think it would burst her? Dream on!
Dugu Bo was taken aback upon hearing this and subconsciously looked at Dugu Yan.
Indeed, the granddaughter's aura was now as steady as a mountain, and a faint radiance flowed beneath her skin, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.
"But...but what about soul tremors?"
Dugu Bo was still worried and gritted his teeth, saying:
"The resentment of Medusa for seventy thousand years—what a terrifying mental impact that is!"
Although Yan Yan's mental strength is good, it's definitely not enough to stop her!
"Soul shock?"
Yu Nan seemed to have heard a joke, a wildly arrogant smile curving his lips as he pointed to his nose:
"Old poisoner, have you forgotten who I am?"
"I am a 200,000-year-old venomous dragon!"
It's this girl's Wisdom Soul Ring!
I live within the sea of her spirit!
Yu Nan's eyes shone with a brilliant purple-gold light, and an aura of superiority emanating from the depths of his soul was instantly released:
"On my territory, how dare a 70,000-year-old snake act so presumptuously?"
"As long as Medusa's remnant soul dares to enter Yan Yan's spiritual sea, Yan Yan won't even need to lift a finger."
"I could slap it so hard it'd be obliterated, leaving not a trace!"
"With me here, the so-called soul tremor is a joke to Yan Yan!"
These words were powerful and resounding.
Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
yes.
With this 200,000-year-old ferocious beast overseeing the Sea of Spirit, what kind of vengeful spirit would dare to go and die?
That's like a mouse being a bridesmaid for a cat—it's suicide!
The two biggest risks were resolved by the Ice and Fire Golden Body and completely eliminated by Yunan.
So this 70,000-year-old soul ring... it seems it really can be absorbed?
"and..."
Seeing that Dugu Bo was still hesitating, Yu Nan threw out the final bait:
"Medusa, a soul beast, possesses petrification and staring talents, making her a top-tier control-type soul master."
"If Yan Yan can absorb its soul ring and combine it with the Poison Dragon Domain, her control ability will undergo a terrifying qualitative change."
"It's even possible that...Medusa's Gaze will awaken!"
"At that time, let alone being invincible among those of the same level, even facing a Soul Saint, Yan Yan can kill her with a single glance!"
Upon hearing the words "Medusa's gaze," Dugu Bo's breathing became heavy again.
That's a legendary top-tier control soul skill!
Dugu Bo's own Medusa head soul bone provided him with this soul skill.
He glanced at his granddaughter beside him, whose eyes were determined and eager to try, and finally gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes:
"good!"
"Since you're so confident, senior, then I'll go crazy with you!"
"A Medusa seventy thousand years old... Hmph, I'll go and capture it right now, and use it as a stepping stone for Yan Yan!"
