Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo and Han Li were not surprised but delighted.
Activating the Martial Soul's traits was something they had planned beforehand.
Dugu Bo nodded towards Han Li, feeling the vigorous medicinal power within his body. He immediately stopped hesitating, leaped towards the open space behind, and directly activated his Martial Soul True Body.
A thirty-meter-long, water-tank-thick, jade-green serpent instantly appeared on the open ground, actively guiding the subsequent changes.
Han Li did not follow. After a red glint flashed in his right eye, he chose to stay where he was and retracted his Martial Soul.
"Xiao Li? What's wrong?"
Broad Hill turned his head to look at him; this was different from what they had agreed upon.
"I seem to have overestimated the Nine Rank Dragon Ganoderma. Perhaps it's also because Senior Du Gu's Martial Soul has already evolved once and is already a king among snakes, so the situation is better than expected and doesn't need my help," Han Li replied softly, his mood seeming quite good.
"Then the aura on your body?" Broad Hill frowned.
"It still activated some. I can relax a lot, and the recovery time will be faster. Besides, there's also Sister Yan; she might need my help more," Han Li replied with a smile.
"Well, that's good."
Broad Hill didn't say anything, turning his head to look at the bead he had frozen in mid-air.
The color of the bead was much deeper than before. Although the Soul Power fluctuations were also much more violent than before, it was still within the range of control overall.
"Let's wait a bit. It should be soon. Look, Senior has already taken the opportunity to start modifying the Martial Soul structure."
Han Li pointed to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, whose body surface was already dyed with a layer of light blue, not far away.
"He's really ruthless, forcibly ruining all the venomous snakes around here. The day before yesterday, when he couldn't find any other venomous snakes, he even forcibly dismantled his own little jade-green snake."
Broad Hill looked at the large serpent in the open space not far away, whose body twitched from time to time, and sighed.
"Yes, Senior Du Gu is indeed ruthless, the kind who is ruthless to himself."
Thinking of the crazy plan that Dugu Bo had proposed before, Han Li couldn't help but nod in agreement.
In fact, according to his original intention, he would use the power of the Immortal Herb to strengthen the venom sac, enhance the control ability, and then he would only need to pay attention to the activation mode of the venom in the future to end it.
After all, Dugu Bo was already a Titled Douluo, and the room for improvement in the venom contained in his Martial Soul was actually quite limited. As long as he used the Immortal Herb to curb the backlash, he could readjust his body.
Rather than taking risks, it would be better to calm down and study how to rationally use poison to attack without harming himself.
As for Du Gu Yan, Han Li originally planned to take her to obtain the Eight Spider Lances later. With the External Spirit Bone, her bloodline inheritance problem would be directly solved, and it could even be used to directly strengthen her, so there was no need to consider the follow-up issues.
However, in order for Du Gu Yan to evolve perfectly, Dugu Bo proposed other ideas.
He wanted to retain the toxicity of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent as much as possible during the evolution process, strengthening the venom glands and venom sac to the outside of the body through the power of the Immortal Herb, preferably making them independent so that the toxins would not participate in the body's circulation, changing the previous Soul Power operation route.
If it was really impossible, he would reluctantly abandon the venom glands and evolve.
His words made Han Li and Broad Hill look at each other, feeling a little apprehensive.
Even Han Li admired his idea. Even with the Immortal Herb as a foundation, Dugu Bo's idea was essentially to artificially change the structure of the Martial Soul's formation. Was he not afraid that the Martial Soul would directly collapse?
After Han Li raised this point, Dugu Bo said that it was not a big problem, and also told the two that he had actually artificially changed the structure of the Martial Soul, but the appearance was not very obvious, and also told the source of his ideas.
When he was young, he had encountered a Soul Master who couldn't withstand the absorption of the Soul Ring, and fainted unconsciously, resulting in a similar change in his Martial Soul.
The original frog Martial Soul had similar venom glands appearing on the surface of its body after fusing with the toad Soul Ring that had failed to be absorbed.
Unable to accept such a change in his Martial Soul, he consciously took the initiative to change the position of the venom glands when obtaining the Soul Ring next time, hiding the venom glands, and even fantasizing about obtaining the venom of venomous snakes, attempting to defy the heavens and change his fate, and walk a new path.
As a result, he didn't expect that he would fail when hunting for the Soul Ring. Before he died, he met Dugu Bo, who had also come to obtain the Soul Ring, and told him about his experience.
It was from his experience that Dugu Bo gained inspiration, and later consciously strengthened and adjusted the venom glands of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent by obtaining Soul Rings, and developed his cultivation and attack methods that were different from other Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Masters.
But what he didn't expect was that he had strengthened it too much, exceeding the limit that the Martial Soul could bear, which led to the tragedy of the Du Gu family.
Well, in general, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul inherited by the Du Gu family, starting from Dugu Bo, was actually somewhat different from ordinary Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Masters, which was why he dared to do it again.
Perhaps this is why Dugu Bo was able to evolve from an advanced Martial Soul to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and become a Titled Douluo.
Just as the Master and disciple were talking, a relatively large movement finally appeared on Dugu Bo's side.
In the roar of the jade-green serpent, two huge wings slowly grew out of the side and rear of the upper body of the snake, just like large eagle wings, but covered with feather-like green scales. (Refer to the appearance of Teng Snake.) "Release the elixir bead, I should be able to control it."
The large green serpent suddenly turned its head towards the two of them and spoke in human language.
"Alright."
Broad Hill didn't waste words. Upon hearing this, he controlled the pill, which was enveloped in icy light in mid-air, and pushed it towards the serpent.
As the pill approached, this time Dugu Bo didn't choose to swallow it. Instead, he flapped the newly formed pair of wings, establishing an energy cycle with it.
Soon, the pair of wings, which were previously only light green, gradually turned dark green under the effect of the pill, eventually becoming almost black. The pill completely disappeared in the process.
"Xiao Li, would you say he succeeded?"
Broad Hill looked at the somewhat dazed Han Li with some confusion.
"I guess so. Senior Du Gu should have condensed all the venom glands and poisonous attack abilities into the wings on his back, creating a separate cycle. His own Soul Power cycle doesn't participate in the toxin's circulation; it only briefly merges with the wings when releasing Soul Skills. It's like he's created an isolation, so he won't be poisoned every time he circulates his Soul Power from now on."
"But, if he continues to maintain his original attack method, he will still be poisoned."
Han Li's right eye had quietly lit up, observing the serpent's internal Soul Power circulation, his words tinged with a hint of helplessness.
"So, he ate a quasi-Immortal Herb to extract the venom glands from his Martial Soul and replace them with external wings? From now on, the wings will be his venom sac and weapon? Whether he slashes others or himself, it will still hurt both parties, but his body and Soul Power won't carry toxins. Is that right?"
Broad Hill bluntly stated his understanding.
"Yes, Master, you're not wrong in saying that," Han Li nodded, confirming.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't put it that way."
The serpent, who was not far away, seemed to have heard their conversation. He instantly deactivated his Martial Soul True Body, transformed into a streak of green light, and flashed to the side of the two.
