Three months later, within the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire in the Sunset Forest.
Sunlight filtered through the carved wooden window lattice of the cabin, casting dappled shadows on the stone table.
Yunxiao and Dugu Yan sat facing each other, a celadon teapot on the table emitting a wisp of steam, the aroma of tea filling the air.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
Yunxiao picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and praised.
"Yanzi, over these past few months."
"Your Soul Power level has not only seen a tremendous improvement."
"But even the art of tea I taught you has advanced by leaps and bounds."
"The tea is clear, the aroma lingering, your progress is truly remarkable."
During the three months that Dugu Bo had been in seclusion for his Martial Soul evolution, Yunxiao and Dugu Yan had gotten along extremely well.
Of course, given that Yunxiao had rejected Dugu Yan's feelings three months ago, there had initially been some awkwardness between them.
But as they spent more time together, both had tacitly let go of that awkwardness and developed a strong friendship.
Hearing Yunxiao's praise, Dugu Yan also smiled, her eyes filled with joy, and she modestly replied.
"Hehehe, compared to the art of tea."
"I'm even more grateful to you, Brother Yunxiao. Not only did you help our Dugu family resolve the Serpentine Venom issue."
"But you also allowed my Jade Scale Snake Spirit to evolve and even helped me obtain a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring."
With that, Dugu Yan summoned her Martial Soul and Soul Rings.
—Hum—Hum—Hum—
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Black.
Four Soul Rings slowly lit up around Dugu Yan, and a pair of icy-blue dragon horns appeared on her forehead.
"An ice-attribute true dragon Martial Soul, not bad!"
Looking at the icy-blue true dragon Martial Soul behind Dugu Yan, Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction.
It was worth all the potent medicines he had administered to both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Directly allowing Dugu Yan's Martial Soul to evolve from the Jade Scale Snake to an ice-attribute true dragon Martial Soul.
Skipping the intermediate stage of a flood dragon, her Martial Soul had undergone such a remarkable transformation.
It had to be said, the inheritance from the Elf Clan that the unreliable system had left him was quite impressive.
"By the way, Yanzi."
"Since your Martial Soul has successfully evolved into an ice-attribute true dragon Martial Soul, why not give it a new name?"
"After all, you can't keep using the old name, Jade Scale Spirit, can you?"
After putting down his teacup, Yunxiao looked at Dugu Yan sitting across from him.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan glanced at her now dragonized right hand.
The icy-blue scales shimmered brilliantly, and a continuous chill emanated from her palm, causing the moisture in the surrounding air to rapidly condense into sparkling ice crystals.
After a moment of thought, Dugu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she slowly spoke.
"Brother Yunxiao, since my Martial Soul is an ice-attribute true dragon Martial Soul, why not call it the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul?"
"After all, ice symbolizes the attribute of the Martial Soul."
"And Dragon King signifies ultimate strength."
"I hope that in the future, I can make a name for myself in the Spirit Master World with it."
Ice Dragon King: "…"
Yunxiao: "…"
"Ice… Ice Dragon King?"
Hearing the name Dugu Yan had chosen, Yunxiao's mouth twitched.
Tsk, tsk, the name Ice Dragon King really isn't an auspicious one!
After all, the last one called the Ice Dragon King had perished right here in the medicinal garden of the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Hmm, but come to think of it.
Didn't something ominous just dart in here a moment ago?
After a while, Yunxiao shook his head, forcibly pulling back his wandering thoughts before speaking slowly.
"Yanzi, listen to your brother's advice. You should change your name.
"The name Ice Dragon King is not auspicious.
"Moreover, you can't bear the consequences that come with this name."
Ice Dragon King: "..."
You're the one who's not auspicious! Your whole family is inauspicious!
I'll curse you to the stars…
At this moment, a certain dragon king was furiously cursing someone in his heart, his curses flying fast and furious.
Meanwhile, looking at Dugu Yan's puzzled expression, Yunxiao, with a very serious expression, continued to persuade his good friend.
Just then, a powerful surge of Soul Power erupted outside the wooden cabin.
Dugu Bo was seen floating in mid-air, laughing heartily.
"Hahaha, I've never felt so refreshed in my life!"
As he spoke, a tremendous change occurred in his aura.
—Hum—Hum—Hum—
The latest novel is first published on 69shu!
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black.
Nine Soul Rings suddenly lit up around Dugu Bo, and a pair of ice-blue dragon horns, identical to Dugu Yan's, appeared on his forehead.
"Oh, not only does he have an ice-attribute True Dragon Martial Soul identical to Dugu Yan's, but he's also successfully broken through to the 93rd level of Titled Douluo?"
Noticing the changes in Dugu Bo, Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction.
After resolving the Serpentine Venom, it was within his expectations that Dugu Bo would break through his Soul Power level. However, the fact that his Martial Soul had evolved into one identical to Dugu Yan's did come as a slight surprise.
After all, as the saying goes, the dragon's nine sons are all different.
The inheritance of Martial Souls on the Douluo Continent has always been filled with uniqueness and randomness.
Even among direct blood relatives, it's extremely rare for Martial Souls to be "completely identical."
Moreover, although Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both belong to the Dugu Jade Scale lineage, the gap in their strength is immense.
Even their Martial Souls differ between grandfather and granddaughter.
Dugu Yan's Martial Soul is the Jade Scale Serpent.
While Dugu Bo's Martial Soul is the superior form of the Jade Scale Serpent, the Jade Scale Snake Emperor, the king of serpents.
Oh, wait.
Dugu Bo's Martial Soul is no longer the Jade Scale Snake Emperor, the king of serpents, but an ice-attribute True Dragon Martial Soul.
Seeing Dugu Bo flying toward him, Yunxiao offered his congratulations.
"Hehe, Your Excellency Poison Douluo.
"Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the 93rd level of Titled Douluo."
"Grandpa, congratulations on reaching the 93rd level."
Bouncing over to Dugu Bo's side, Dugu Yan also congratulated him.
"Hahaha, Your Excellency Elf, you're too kind.
"My achievements today are all thanks to your help.
"If Your Excellency doesn't mind, you can just call me Old Poison.
"Being addressed as 'Your Excellency Poison Douluo' makes me feel quite awkward."
After patting Dugu Yan's head, Dugu Bo clasped his fists toward Yunxiao, his voice booming like a bell.
Yunxiao naturally had no objections to the suggestion proposed by Dugu Bo.
Understanding Dugu Bo's style of doing things, Yunxiao knew that being asked to call him "Old Poison" was actually a sign that Dugu Bo regarded him as a "close person" or an acknowledged old friend.
After all, Dugu Bo was not Tang San.
When facing Dai Mubai, Tang San would call him "Big Brother Dai" when he was weaker.
When facing Dai Mubai, Tang San would call him "Mubai" after becoming stronger.
When facing Dai Mubai, Tang San didn't even bother to put on an act after becoming a god, directly calling him "Little Bai."
It must be said, this was simply "next level"!
