Chapter 47 Fire Dragon's Metamorphosis
The two walked and stopped, searching for suitable soul beasts like treasure hunters. At this moment, they had already entered the area of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and looking around, there was not a single soul beast that was less than ten thousand years old.
Located near a volcanic area, the surrounding trees are extremely sparse, and the terrain is mostly composed of rocks, resembling a barren desert. Although soul beasts have a certain sense of territory, they don't have to be far apart to see other soul beasts. So, looking around, you can still see more than a dozen soul beasts of similar cultivation levels within a certain area.
However, after searching for a long time, none of them met Wu Heyi's standards.
"Hey kid, did you see anyone you like? You've already missed out on several with dragon blood!" Dugu Bo had said this to Wu Heyi more than once.
But Wu Heyi would only retort each time with, "If the lifespan is less than 3 years, it's useless."
Although Dugu Bo was furious, he was helpless, since he had promised to accompany Wu Heyi to continue the search.
However, the search process was undoubtedly tedious and boring. Dugu Bo was also trying to find topics to talk about and try to get more useful information out of Wu Heyi.
This includes how Wu Heyi plans to help Dugu Yan overcome the difficulty of her martial soul defect.
"Dugu Yan is only level 20-something right now. My advice for now is to increase her soul power but not add any soul rings!"
Dugu Bo had also guessed this, but there is always a peak in soul power cultivation. Once the peak is reached, if one does not add soul rings, one's cultivation can no longer be improved.
Wu Heyi's answer was to use soul power to temper the body in preparation for the subsequent plan.
However, no matter how Dugu Bo tried to subtly probe, Wu Heyi remained tight-lipped about the follow-up plan, leaving Dugu Bo with no other options. He simply assumed that Wu Heyi would only tell him after obtaining all the spirit rings.
However, the real reason Wu Heyi did this was because he was worried that Wu would not be able to handle it.
The flaw in their martial soul is quite obvious: when the martial soul awakens, the soul master's body cannot evolve two crucial organs on its own.
One of them is the snake gallbladder, which is the core organ that protects it, like an indestructible fortress.
Secondly, there are venom sacs, which are places where venom is stored, much like a mysterious treasure trove.
These two organs are arguably the two most critical parts of a venomous snake's body. If either one is missing, the snake can hardly be called a venomous snake, and it is even said that it is unlikely to survive.
However, even though this snake became a martial spirit, it failed to evolve these two organs for its host, thus creating a defect in this martial spirit.
The simplest way to address this deficiency is to add alternative organs.
The so-called alternative organ is the addition of a soul bone. However, no matter what type of soul bone is used as a substitute organ, there is an extremely high upper limit. Once the upper limit is reached, the backlash will still occur as expected.
This is nothing more than a superficial solution to stop the boiling water from overflowing.
So, how should we proceed to solve this problem at its root?
There is only one feasible path: the evolution of the Martial Soul. As long as the Martial Soul evolves, all the defects that originally existed in the body can be specifically repaired during the evolution process.
As we all know, the maximum potential of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent is only Azure Phosphorus Serpent King. It is not difficult to evolve into Azure Phosphorus Serpent King, which means that this evolution may not achieve the desired ideal effect.
To achieve the desired effect, Dugu Yan's martial soul must break through the limits of the ordinary Azure Phosphorous Serpent King and continue to develop upwards.
Its development path has two directions: one is to move towards becoming a dragon or a dragon, and the other is to develop into a more powerful snake species.
Wu Heyi once encountered a strange snake species called Xiangliu in a mysterious book called the Classic of Mountains and Seas. More importantly, similar snake species also appear in various mythological texts.
Therefore, when Wu Heyi thought of this snake, he immediately consulted a vast amount of information on ancient soul beasts. To his surprise, in the wondrous world of Douluo Continent, he actually found a soul beast that resembled it.
The "Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent" is a naturally occurring nine-headed serpent with a serpent's head and a dragon's body. Each of its nine heads possesses independent thought and attributes, and all are highly venomous. Wherever this dragon serpent goes, it leaves behind a swamp of poisonous energy, making it virtually the most powerful among venomous snakes.
There's another important reason why Wu Heyi turned his attention in this direction: these snake-spirit beasts undergo a transformation every ten thousand years. Each transformation increases their combat power a hundredfold, but during the transformation process, they become extremely weak.
Coincidentally, books documenting this type of dragon-serpent record detailed the approximate length and height of the nine-headed dragon-serpent seen by Soul Masters at the time. After some simple calculations, the conclusion is that the dragon-serpent has undergone at least three molts to date, and the fourth molt is highly likely to occur within the next few years. If one is fortunate enough to encounter it, there is a chance to successfully capture it.
Just as Wu Heyi was racking his brains about how to explain his plans to Dugu Bo, a dragon roared and shot into the sky like an arrow, sprinkling drops of blood from its body.
The pearl-sized droplets of blood were steaming with intense heat, but upon closer inspection, they were clearly not blood at all, but rather molten lava.
Fortunately, the two were not far apart, and Dugu Bo quickly took Wu Heyi and sped away.
Looking down from the air, one could see a dragon, its form almost identical to that described by Wu Heyi.
It's quite a coincidence that this dragon is currently in a critical stage of transformation, with its cultivation level between 30,000 and 40,000 years. Once it completes its transformation, its cultivation level will surely approach the 80,000-year level.
It is even highly likely that it will break through the bottleneck of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Beneath it was churning lava, which seemed poised to engulf it, but in reality, it was using the scalding lava to undergo its final physical tempering.
Once the forging is complete, it will enter the final transformation stage.
Witnessing this scene, Dugu Bo was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He had never seen such a bright red color in his life. However, Wu Heyi, who was tucked under his arm, was overjoyed!
"That's it! I want it!"
Just as Wu Heyi uttered those words, the dragon raised its head, and the two locked eyes.
They instantly understood each other's thoughts.
The dragon roared to the sky, demonstrating its power.
"Old monster, if you can help me take it down, I will tell you the core of Dugu Yan's martial soul evolution!"
"What?! Martial Soul evolution!"
Dugu Bo was startled at first, but quickly recovered in the next second. He finally understood Wu Heyi's intention, even though he did not know how Wu Heyi planned to evolve Dugu Yan's martial soul.
However, in his eyes, Wu Heyi would never dare to deceive him. After all, the strongest Soul Master is still just a Soul Master. Even if he can unleash the strength of a Soul King, he is still just a minor character who can be killed in two moves in his hands.
So he turned his gaze to the dragon undergoing a great transformation in the valley. He had never seen such a strange soul beast before, but judging from its cultivation level, it would not be difficult to deal with it!
