"Indeed, there are changes." Dugu Yan nodded. "As for the Martial Soul's abilities, the toxins of the Jade Phosphor Serpent have been removed. However, a certain kind of cold poison has emerged."
"A type of special cold poison that has fused with the spiritual attribute I attached to her Martial Soul. To be precise, it's a special Ultimate Attribute." Tianmeng Iceworm interjected.
As the Wisdom Spirit Ring of Dugu Yan's Martial Soul, no one knew better than it the changes her Martial Soul underwent after its evolution.
"A unique yin-cold attribute. Once touched, the body will rapidly freeze, then the cold poison invades the body and freezes the blood. During this time, spiritual power will be suppressed, and thoughts will stagnate. For those weaker in strength, it's only a matter of waiting for death."
"You could say it's rather domineering."
"Of course, to create it, one needs to transform water attribute into yin-cold attribute as just now. So essentially, I think this shouldn't be called cold poison, but rather a special change born from attribute fusion."
'Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's cold poison, with added spiritual attribute?' Yang Yunhai simplified it in his mind for better understanding.
"Since it ties in with the True Lunar Water, let's call it Yin Water Cold Poison." He nodded slightly and said aloud.
"As for the Martial Soul itself, to conceal its relation to the Water Dragon King, when you arrive at Sea God Island, you can explain it as a variant of the Water Dragon Martial Soul. Perhaps call it Lunar Water Dragon."
"Alright." Dugu Yan smiled and nodded before continuing, "As for the soul skills, the first five indeed changed."
"The first soul skill, hm, let's call it Profound Water Dragon Transformation. Its effect is to condense one or several water dragons, which can also transform into ice form, carrying Yin Water Cold Poison."
"They can be controlled to coil, bite, etc., or even used defensively. I feel there are many ways to use it."
Having been with Yang Yunhai for so long, she had already gained some insight into advancing the usage of soul skills.
"The second soul skill is Dragon's Roar Breath."
"I can condense a dragon's body and unleash water arrows through sonic bursts. With attribute transformation, it can also release cold mist or ice spears. I feel its burst speed should be very fast, though it's still a straight-line attack method."
"The fast burst and relatively wide range make up for its shortcomings." Yang Yunhai nodded slightly.
"Indeed, restrain the enemy first, then use this move." Chrysanthemum Douluo also nodded.
"I agree." Dugu Yan smiled, then continued, "The third soul skill is Yin Water Cold Mist."
"By controlling water elements, I can condense vapor in a certain range, then transform it into cold mist carrying Yin Water Cold Poison. This not only has offensive ability but can also conceal my figure and create a favorable battlefield environment."
'In a place without water, this move would be very useful.' Yang Yunhai nodded and smiled. "Not bad at all."
In his previous life, this would be called 'riding the clouds and mist.'
'With her current Martial Soul, once she broke through to soul rank 70, it might grant her flight. Even if not at 70, at rank 90 when reaching Titled Douluo, she certainly could. At that point, she could gather water vapor in the air and fly atop the clouds.'
'And with clouds, couldn't I create lightning?' He felt this move really matched well with him.
"The fourth soul skill… it's hard to name." Dugu Yan continued. "Like before, it activates through eye contact. Its effect is to rapidly freeze the enemy's body, while adding Ultimate spiritual suppression, causing thoughts to halt."
"If mastered well, and once the year limit increases, it may even freeze the soul." Tianmeng Iceworm supplemented, clearly valuing this skill's potential.
"It's somewhat similar to Xiao Hai's external soul bone Evil Eye skill, Light of Space-Time." Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered.
During the five days Dugu Yan absorbed the torso bone, his disciple Yang Yunhai had also absorbed the Evil Eye external soul bone given by Di Tian.
It had taken three full days. After absorbing it, he gained two skills: Light of Destruction and Light of Space-Time.
And because the Evil Eye fused with the Wisdom Skull Bone, its age had also been increased.
Now, it had already advanced to the 100,000-year level, even far beyond—enviable indeed!
"It also has similarities with Old Wan's Thousand Years Moment." Chrysanthemum Douluo added.
Ghost Douluo nodded slightly, brushing his presence.
"A skill with extremely high potential." Yang Yunhai smiled. "And the fifth soul skill?"
"Water Explosion," Dugu Yan said. "No matter the form of water, I can detonate it. Its power should be much stronger than before."
Freeze it, then detonate—she felt it could blow people apart on the spot.
"Not only that, but the torso bone's Water Element Control has also greatly amplified my abilities."
"This skill allows me to greatly increase my affinity with water attribute energy, making it easier to control water abilities."
"In addition, with the greatly improved spiritual power, my overall control of my abilities has also risen a lot."
'Spiritual power really is a universal enhancement.' Yang Yunhai nodded with admiration.
His own quick stabilization of cultivation and Martial Soul control also owed much to spiritual power.
He turned to Tianmeng with a serious look. "Tianmeng, another reason I chose you to sacrifice to Yan Yan is to guard against the Sea God directly peeking into her memories. With your spiritual power, I believe you can detect it in time."
The live broadcast-like tricks of God Inheritance illusions from the original story had really startled him; he had to be cautious.
"And once you discover it, you must assist Yan Yan in resisting."
"Of course, don't worry too much. If the Sea God truly chooses her as an inheritor, then knowing it would be discovered, he shouldn't shamelessly do something so underhanded that would cause the inheritor to give up the inheritance. The same applies to Zhu Zhuqing."
The two were close sisters.
"As a God, he shouldn't be that shameless, right?" Tianmeng Iceworm was shocked.
No, he is exactly that shameless. Yang Yunhai shook his head slightly. "Better safe than sorry."
"The matter before us concerns the fate of both our races. We must be cautious and thorough—there can't be a single lapse."
Tianmeng Iceworm nodded furiously. "Boss, rest assured, with me here, I'll never let him succeed."
"Good." Yang Yunhai nodded. "In that case, let's return. Teacher, take the Beautiful Silk Tulip with you."
"Alright." Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded and strode forward.
"Boss, if Yan Yan hasn't chosen her next soul ring yet, I have a suggestion." Tianmeng Iceworm suddenly said seriously.
"The Ice Empress?" Yang Yunhai glanced at it.
"How did you know?" Tianmeng Iceworm was startled.
"There aren't many soul beasts in this world with hopes of becoming Gods. You couldn't succeed through normal advancement, but the Ice Empress and Snow Empress might. They're whom I hope to nurture as native Gods. If you want, you can pursue it with your own effort in the future." Yang Yunhai said calmly.
"After assisting Yan Yan to Godhood, you will also advance and become a God Spirit. You'll have plenty of time."
A stick and a sweet date—this both inspired Tianmeng Iceworm with hope and instilled a sense of crisis. If the Child of Nature failed in ascension, if Dugu Yan died or followed him in death, then wouldn't it perish too, never seeing its beloved Ice Empress again?
'No, I must fully support Dugu Yan to ascend to Godhood. I must help the Child of Nature achieve victory, and live till the end.'
'Yes, I must become a God before my Ice Empress. If all else fails by then, I can… hehe…'
"…" Yang Yunhai felt Tianmeng's current expression looked downright perverted, and the emotional waves he sensed made it even more so.
He immediately turned to Dugu Yan, raising an eyebrow. "Yan Yan."
Dugu Yan understood, and with a thought, Tianmeng's manifested spirit body was pulled back and dispersed on the spot.
"Behave, or I'll lock you up for a month."
"Sis, I was wrong!" Back in the spiritual sea, Tianmeng Iceworm immediately admitted fault.
"Let's go." Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo return, Yang Yunhai wrapped an arm around Dugu Yan's waist, glanced downward—
'Ah, these clothes are so tight on Yan Yan now. When we return, I'll definitely need to help her try some new ones.'
"…" Dugu Yan shot him a sharp glare and rolled her eyes beautifully.
Silent, Yiner also glanced lightly, pinching her man's waist, only to have her hand caught gently in return.
'Ah…' Heart-struck Tianmeng Iceworm, still longing for his Ice Empress, felt crushed, sulking in circles within the spiritual sea.
Having long grown used to Di Tian's constant public displays of affection with Zi Ji and Bi Ji, Yao Ling quietly returned to the spiritual space, transforming into a great tree—pretending not to notice.
Soon, several figures soared into the sky, vanishing into the horizon.
