Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 145 Orange-Gold Ferocious Beast Souls Exceeding 100,000 Years

The chill raged for a good ten minutes before gradually gathering and contracting, eventually retreating back into Dugu Yan's body.

The ice shards on Dugu Yan's body gradually disappeared, and her skin took on a faint blue glow. In particular, her snow-white hair gradually turned light blue.

The eyes that opened also shimmered with a faint blue light.

Dugu Yan's appearance changed for the first time, her hair turning snow-white, because she used the Snow-White Swan Kiss.

Now, Dugu Yan has signed a contract with the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, making it her soul spirit.

The quality of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass is no less than that of the Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss. ​​Moreover, this Eight-Cornered Ice Grass has already survived the Heavenly Tribulation and reached the level of 140,000 years. Therefore, it can naturally suppress the influence of the Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss on Dugu Yan in terms of priority.

The best example is the transformation of snow-white hair into light blue.

As her body underwent changes, a vibrant crimson soul ring also condensed beneath Dugu Yan's feet.

Another 100,000-year soul ring!

Some people might ask why Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's spirit rings were the normal color when they obtained the immortal herb, while Hei Bai's spirit rings were a different color when he consumed the immortal herb.

How can these be the same? There's a difference between what you eat and what you use. What if there's no pigment in what you eat?
The crimson soul ring pulsed slowly, and the usually fiery and tall Dugu Yan seemed to possess a subtle layer of icy coldness that kept people at a distance.

"It really is a 100,000-year spirit ring! I never thought that Yan Yan would one day obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring!"

Dugu Bo thought to himself, after all, unlike Ye Lingling who obtained a 100,000-year soul ring, Dugu Yan was his own granddaughter. Seeing other people's children excelling was not as gratifying as seeing his own children excelling.
While happy, Dugu Bo also felt a pang of sadness and envy.

A 100,000-year spirit ring! It's so easy to get a 100,000-year spirit ring. I'm so envious. It's just a pity that I don't have the chance.

I can only blame myself for missing out on the benefits of the times!

No, it's not that I missed it, it's that I overtook it. I wish I had been born a few decades later.

"Yan Yan, what are your soul rings and soul skills?" Seeing that Dugu Yan had just obtained a new soul ring, Dugu Bo subconsciously asked directly. He didn't know how he had developed this habit of being curious and wanting to ask whenever someone obtained a soul ring.

Dugu Yan naturally did not hide anything from her grandfather.

"Grandpa, my sixth spirit ring skills are Absolute Zero and Ice Blast!"

"Absolute zero allows you to freeze yourself or your enemy."

"Huh? Freeze yourself?" Dugu Bo didn't react for a moment. He could understand freezing his opponent, but what the heck was freezing himself?

Dugu Yan quickly gave a clearer explanation: "Grandpa, when my soul skill Absolute Zero freezes an enemy, it can both control the opponent and deal ice-attribute damage to them; when I use it on myself, it will freeze myself and make me immune to damage during the process, thus protecting myself."

After listening to Dugu Yan's explanation, Zhao Mu felt that the effect of this skill was so familiar.
As for Ice Explosion Technique, it is much easier to understand than Absolute Zero. After all, under Zhao Mu's guidance, Dugu Yan has embarked on the path of explosion, and Ice Explosion Technique is undoubtedly a soul skill that uses ice as an explosive force.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the shattered ice from the Ice Blast spell deals splash damage to enemies and is also poisonous.

In Zhao Mu's view, the Ice Explosion Technique's enhancement for Dugu Yan went far beyond that, considering the poison attached to it was the toxin of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass. Previously, the strongest poison Dugu Yan possessed was the Azure Phosphorous Purple Poison bestowed by her third soul ring, and even the enhancement from Snow Swan Kiss could only reach Azure Phosphorous Purple Poison.

But things are different now. Dugu Yan possesses the ultimate ice poison of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, which is stronger than the Azure Phosphorus Poison. With a higher starting point, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass poison, after being stimulated and strengthened by the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, is naturally far more powerful than the Azure Phosphorus Poison. Therefore, for Dugu Yan, who intends to follow the path of poison, this is definitely an epic enhancement.

"It's pretty good to have obtained two soul skills!" Zhao Mu said at this moment.

"What do you mean it's good to get two soul skills? Second Grandfather, don't all 100,000-year soul rings have two soul skills?" Dugu Yan frowned after hearing Zhao Mu's words, not quite understanding.

Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling also looked at Zhao Mu with the same puzzlement.

Since Zhao Mu taught Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan how to form a contract with a soul spirit, it was naturally necessary to inform them about the relevant details of soul spirits.

"Soul spirits are a substitute for soul rings, but they are more promising than soul rings obtained by hunting soul beasts. High-level soul spirits can grant soul masters multiple soul rings and soul skills at the same time, and may even be accompanied by the birth of soul bones."

Zhao Mu looked at the two illusory fairy herb dolls floating behind Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan and said, "For example, the Youxiang Qiluo and the Bajiao Xuanbingcao that you two have contracted with, they are not just providing you with a soul ring. When your soul power reaches the point of absorbing the next soul ring, you will most likely obtain a second 100,000-year soul ring, and at the same time, you may also obtain a 100,000-year soul bone."

After obtaining the Fragrant Silk Ring through the contract, Ye Lingling's soul power level has increased from level 49 to level 59, and she is only one level away from obtaining the next soul ring.

After obtaining the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, Dugu Yan's soul power level increased to level sixty-eight.

While it may seem that the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass provides less of a boost to Dugu Yan than Ye Lingling, it's important to remember that Dugu Yan's initial soul power level is higher. Therefore, the difficulty and requirements are not equal. Furthermore, Ye Lingling's martial soul is the plant-type Ten-Heart Begonia, which resonates more strongly with the Fragrant Silk.

"A 100,000-year-old soul spirit can generate a maximum of five soul rings. This means that a 100,000-year-old soul spirit may occupy five of your soul ring slots. Each soul ring may not necessarily have two skills. Compared to a true 100,000-year-old soul ring, it may lack skills, but the boost to the body is equivalent to that of five 100,000-year-old soul rings!"

"Furthermore, once the soul spirit has fully developed, it may still be able to fight alongside the soul master."

Listening to Zhao Mu's eloquent speech, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling stared at each other in disbelief. They really didn't know how Zhao Mu's brain worked or why he knew so much.

As Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling began to familiarize themselves with their enhanced power, Dugu Bo walked up to Zhao Mu and asked, "Second brother, since contracting a soul spirit can grant you a soul ring, and you've already reached level eighty, why not take this opportunity to contract a soul spirit as well? That way, you can officially step into the Soul Douluo level, and maybe even higher."

It should be noted that Zhao Mu has always maxed out his Soul Rings after obtaining them, reaching the next major realm.

Of course, this is also related to the excess energy in Zhao Mu's body.

It's not just Dugu Bo's pills anymore. Hei Bai has consumed so many immortal herbs, even if it's just a portion given to Zhao Mu, that's still an extremely large amount.

In response to Dugu Bo's question, Zhao Mu shook his head: "Not enough, we have to wait a little longer."

"Wait a little longer? Wait for what? Aren't you already level 80?" Dugu Bo pressed on.

At this moment, Zhao Mu turned to Dugu Bo and said, "I am level 80, but now I can only obtain the effect of a 100,000-year soul ring by contracting a soul spirit. Brother, you may not know, but when a soul beast's cultivation is at least close to the 200,000-year level, it can be called a ferocious beast!"

"A ferocious beast spirit is stronger than a 100,000-year-old spirit, and the spirit ring it obtains is also a more powerful orange-gold spirit ring!"
