Chapter 120 Dugu Bo's Heaven-Defying Ninth Soul Skill
Meanwhile, atop a small hill a dozen miles from Shrek Academy, a hundred meters high, Ling Yuan, riding a nine-headed fire phoenix, landed on the mountaintop with Zhao Wuji.
Bibi Dong had been waiting for a long time; Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood behind her.
"Your Majesty, the Soul Bone has been retrieved." Ling Yuan jumped off the phoenix's back and respectfully handed over the Eight Spider Lances.
"Yes, you did a great job."
Bibi Dong has changed drastically at this moment.
A papal robe clung tightly to her delicate body, revealing her exquisite and curvaceous figure.
On the left side of her body, a slender, high slit extends all the way to her waist, revealing glimpses of her smooth, alabaster-like skin.
She raised her right hand, and the eight spider spears, each no bigger than a palm, floated into her hand automatically.
After examining it closely, Bibi Dong put it away and instead took out a golden mask, put it on, and said with her back to Ling Yuan, "Continue to protect that person, and keep an eye on the two women beside her. Come back after she returns to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Yes," Ling Yuan replied respectfully.
Bibi Dong waved her hand, and Yue Guan gave Zhao Wuji a disdainful look, signaling Gui Mei to come forward. Gui Mei didn't mind and silently stepped forward to pick up Zhao Wuji.
Then, the three ascended into the sky, transforming into three streaks of light—one purple, one gold, and one black—and disappeared into the horizon.
Ling Yuan looked in the direction where the three had disappeared, then glanced towards Soto City, sighed, and murmured, "To dare to provoke His Holiness the Pope, should we say you're lucky or unlucky?"
...............
Bibi Dong left Ling Yuan behind to protect Ye Qinghe and keep an eye on Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan to prevent them from stealing food. Ye Qinghe was unaware of this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care, since he was still too young.
That night, after gathering the members of the Royal Fighting Team, he formed a new Royal Fighting Team consisting of himself, Dugu Yan, the Shi brothers, Yu Feng, Oslo, and Ye Lingling, preparing to begin a new round of Soul Master level battles.
As for Qin Ming, he was completely excluded from the Royal Fighting Team. He wasn't even notified!
Ye Qinghe plans to lead the new Royal Fighting Team back from Soto City, fighting their way back along the way.
By experiencing more types of martial spirits and their characteristics, one can enhance their combat abilities.
Of course, the daily battles, including one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles, required a lot of soul power, which inevitably made everyone feel tired.
So, after Ye Qinghe left Soto City and arrived in another city, he simply gave them a three-day holiday under the pretext of hunting for spirit rings.
Of course, Ye Qinghe wasn't really going to hunt for soul rings. Instead, he rented a courtyard with Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo.
Zhu Zhuqing was given a thousand-year adaptive soul ring.
The reason he didn't give it to Dugu Yan before was because the two hadn't confirmed their relationship yet. Now that Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan have confirmed their relationship, he can give it to her.
After absorbing the thousand-year adaptive soul ring, Zhu Zhuqing upgraded the soul ring to 1,900 years, which is much higher than most Soul Masters.
This third soul ring also granted her an amplification-type soul skill: Evil Spirit Possession.
After unleashing her third soul skill, Evil Spirit Possession, Zhu Zhuqing's evasion, attack power, and strength all doubled, and her speed increased by 150%. It's remarkably similar to Ye Qinghe's Beast King's Wrath, and perhaps even stronger!
It is worth mentioning that after her martial soul evolved into the Evil Cat, Zhu Zhuqing's first and second soul skills also underwent a transformation.
The original Netherworld Thrust has become the Evil Spirit Thrust, and the Netherworld Hundred Claws have become the Evil Spirit Claws.
The former, based on the sudden extension of the claws, instantly doubles the speed and also doubles the penetrating power.
The latter, while possessing a penetrating effect, can also unleash claw-like energy for mid-to-long-range attacks, making it a weakened version of Ye Qinghe's third soul skill, Beast King's Shattering Gold Slash.
At the same time, after Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the third soul ring, the suppressed soul power of the immortal herbs in her body was completely released because she did not obtain the third soul ring, which raised Zhu Zhuqing's soul power to level thirty-seven in one fell swoop.
After giving Zhu Zhuqing a thousand-year adaptive soul ring, Ye Qinghe went to Dugu Bo's room. Under Ye Qinghe's witness, Dugu Bo prepared to absorb the Golden Dragon Fruit.
Originally, Ye Qinghe intended to do what he had done with Zhu Zhuqing before, giving her a 100,000-year upgrade card for her ninth soul ring during the process of absorbing the immortal herb.
But then he thought again, Dugu Yan had already become his woman, Dugu Bo was completely tied to him, and his character was indeed trustworthy.
So they stopped keeping things to themselves.
Before Dugu Bo absorbed the Golden Dragon Fruit, he took out the 100,000-year upgrade card for his ninth soul ring.
"What is this?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he saw the card in Ye Qinghe's hand.
"You'll find out soon enough." Ye Qinghe placed the Soul Ring Enhancement Card on Dugu Bo's forehead. Dugu Bo, trusting Ye Qinghe, did not resist.
Ye Qinghe silently recited in his mind, "System, use the Ninth Soul Ring 100,000-Year Enhancement Card on Dugu Bo."
[Ding, successful use.]
As the system notification sounded, the card affixed to Dugu Bo's forehead transformed into a red light and disappeared into his brow.
Dugu Bo did not hear the system notification, but he did feel changes in his body.
This change is hard to explain or articulate, but if I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be: the bottleneck is loosening.
If it would have taken him at least three to five years to reach level 95 before, now he might be able to do it in two or three years.
"What just happened...?" Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qinghe in disbelief.
Ye Qinghe smiled. "Just release your martial spirit, and you'll see what changes occur."
Dugu Bo nodded and released his martial spirit as instructed. However, it would have been better if he hadn't released it at all, because he was immediately startled when he did.
What he saw was a 100,000-year spirit ring; his ninth spirit ring had become a 100,000-year one.
It's unbelievable that he has now become a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring.
All of this seemed like a dream to Dugu Bo at this moment.
"This is my biggest secret. I've only shared it with Dong'er, Yanzi, and Zhuqing. They are all my women. Now you are the fourth to know," Ye Qinghe said to Dugu Bo with a smile.
Dugu Bo nodded emphatically, "I won't say anything more. From now on, we'll talk to each other. You call me... Old Poisoner, and I'll call you brother."
He originally wanted Ye Qinghe to call him grandpa, but when he thought of Bibi Dong, that monster, he immediately changed his mind.
"I can't accept that." Ye Qinghe thought Dugu Bo was joking, and instead asked, "Has your ninth soul skill undergone any changes?"
Dugu Bo felt the 100,000-year ninth ring on his body and replied, "The changes that have occurred are unimaginable. Originally, with my eighth soul skill, I could kill a Soul Saint or someone below that level, and even a Soul Douluo would be significantly affected. Now, with the upgrade to 100,000 years, I can kill anyone below the Title Douluo level."
"Anyone below the Title Douluo level?" Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghe's expression suddenly turned serious.
Dugu Bo said solemnly, "That's right. Any genius below the Title Douluo level, no matter how talented, who can fight beyond their level, will die instantly if they come into contact with my eighth soul skill, Time Freeze Lock, unless they have an antidote like you did before, or can avoid it in advance. Moreover, the soul power consumed is also greatly reduced. It's not a problem to use it two or three times a day."
