Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Azure Phosphorous Serpent, Second Master Dugu Bo

"Fire Dance!"

Dugu Yang shouted, and a dazzling flame rose up behind him. Against the backdrop of the flame, Huo Wu looked incredibly radiant, but in her hand, a blazing fireball was condensing.

"go!"

With a flick of her wrist, Huo Wu sent the fireball hurtling toward the Tree Poison Toad.

However, the Tree Poison Toad, being a thousand-year-old soul beast, is not so easily defeated.

Dugu Yang's full-force punch only sent it flying dozens of meters away, but it did not suffer any real damage.

After landing, the tree poison toad quickly got up and easily dodged Fire Dance's fireball with its agile speed.

Seeing this, Huo Wu smiled and flicked her finger. The fireball that had just brushed past the tree poison toad suddenly changed direction and smashed into its back.

This is Huo Wu's first soul skill, Fireball Technique, which condenses a fireball and shoots it at the enemy, and the direction of the fireball can be controlled.

boom!

Flames flew, and the poison toad was engulfed in flames. The mucus secreted from its body became fuel for the fire, and it was impossible to extinguish.

quack!

The poisonous tree toad let out its first painful cry.

But Dugu Yang and his three companions showed no mercy, and with a "boom," another fireball came hurtling towards them.

It is Fire Warrior.

The brother and sister share the same first soul skill: Fireball Technique.

The fireball struck the tree toad again, causing the already burning flames to spread even further.

At the same time, Dugu Yan also fired a poisoned arrow, but this had almost no effect on the tree toad, which had extremely high poison resistance.

"Keep going, don't stop!"

Dugu Yang shouted.

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu knew that Dugu Yang was speaking to them, so they lit up their first spirit rings and condensed fireballs once again.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Two more rounds of fireball attacks followed. The tree poison toad, engulfed in flames, endured immense burning pain and was powerless to dodge, forced to endure the fireballs slamming into it.

laugh!

A foul, burning smell filled the air, and the poisonous tree toad gradually fell silent, lying prone on the ground, looking as if it were about to be slaughtered.

"It worked?"

Upon seeing this, Huo Wu exclaimed in surprise.

After all, the Tree Poison Toad was a thousand-year-old soul beast, and even though the four of them worked together to kill it, Huo Wu was still somewhat excited.

But Dugu Yang shook his head and said, "It's not that simple."

Dugu Yang didn't believe that a thousand-year-old soul beast could be killed by a few fireballs, even if it was a weak soul beast like the Tree Poison Toad.

Sure enough, the next moment, countless tiny pores on the surface of the tree poison toad spewed out a large amount of mist, isolating a ten-meter-diameter area into a vacuum zone.

Without oxygen, the flames on the poison toad's body gradually went out.

"They're really troublesome."

Seeing this, Huo Wushuang couldn't help but frown.

But the next moment, the poisonous tree toad that had extinguished its flames let out a terrible cry.

Quack quack quack—

The screams were even more agonizing than before, as if the person was enduring pain far more intense than being burned alive.

"What's going on?"

Huo Wushuang and his sister were puzzled, but they saw Dugu Yang walk forward leisurely, a sharp ivory dagger appearing in his hand.

Due to the intense pain, the tree toad's entire body stiffened. Even when it saw Dugu Yang approaching, it had no means of resistance and could only watch helplessly as Dugu Yang's dagger pierced its body.

puff!

Green fluid trickled from the spot where the dagger had pierced the toad. Already severely injured, the tree toad merely twitched its legs symbolically before dying.

"Dugu Yang, did you do this?"

Huo Wu ran up to Dugu Yang and asked.

Dugu Yang didn't hide anything and nodded, saying:

"That's right. The punch I threw at it just now carried thirteen kinds of deadly poisons. However, the poison toad's resistance to poison is indeed impressive. At first, the poisons didn't have any effect. It wasn't until it exhausted its soul power to extinguish the flames on its body that the poisons took effect."

Upon hearing Dugu Yang's words, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, who had just arrived, felt a chill run down their spines and were filled with deep fear.

However, it wasn't the tree toad, but Dugu Yang.

During the battle just now, they only saw Dugu Yang throw a punch, and they didn't realize that Dugu Yang had poisoned the tree poison toad with thirteen kinds of poison.

This means that Dugu Yang could also administer thirteen kinds of deadly poisons to them without them knowing.

The poison toad is resistant because it has extremely high poison resistance; otherwise, it would probably turn into a puddle of pus in just a few breaths.

Huo Wushuang understood this all too well, after all, he had been knocked to the ground by Dugu Yang's Jade Phosphorous Four-Legged Serpent Venom.

Huo Wushuang and his sister exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.

"This boy is definitely not someone we can be his enemy."

Dugu Yang was unaware of the fear that Huo Wushuang and his sister harbored towards him, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.

Even if an opponent of the same level knows that he is extremely poisonous, he cannot withstand it.

"Wild goose, protect me."

When he saw the thousand-year-old soul ring, surrounded by a purple aura, slowly rise from the corpse of the tree poison toad, Dugu Yang called Dugu Yan over.

Although he knew that Huo Wushuang and his sister were unlikely to harm him, he was in his most vulnerable state during the process of absorbing the soul ring, so he had to be careful.

Dugu Yan responded, a smile appearing on her pretty face.

"Gentlemen, step back a bit. If anything goes wrong when Ah Yang absorbs the spirit ring, I can't guarantee I won't take action against you."

Seeing the dangerous glint in Dugu Yan's green eyes, Huo Wushuang pulled Huo Wu to a safe position, indicating that he would not have any designs on her.

Although Huo Wu was unhappy, she knew how important it was for a Soul Master to absorb Soul Rings.

"Ah Yang, leave the protection to me."

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Dugu Yang nodded and immediately released his martial soul, circulating his soul power to draw the purple soul ring in front of him to the top of his head.

As the spirit rings instantly retracted, Dugu Yang once again sensed the familiar oppressive feeling.

However, this time the sense of oppression was ten times greater than before.

There is a qualitative difference between a thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-year soul ring. The powerful soul force was like a rushing river, forcefully squeezing into Dugu Yang's limbs and bones. In that instant, Dugu Yang was like a balloon that had reached its limit, as if it would burst at any moment.

But in the end, Dugu Yang endured it.

The spirit ring he absorbed this time was ten times stronger than the first one, but he also became several times stronger. In fact, he specially asked Dugu Bo to prepare a body-tempering liquid with stronger medicinal properties but also with toxicity for him to absorb this thousand-year spirit ring.

A year of cultivation gave him the physique to withstand the power of a thousand-year-old soul ring.

When he opened his eyes again, his consciousness had returned to the Soul Skill Space.

"It's a success!"

Dugu Yang was overjoyed. Unlike others, he possessed the "Affinity for All Things" cheat, which eliminated the obstacle of remnant souls of soul beasts. This was his greatest advantage in absorbing the thousand-year soul ring.
