Looking at his appearance, Lin Yang felt a bit helpless, but overall he was in a very good mood.
In the future, he would be able to fly in the sky.
Furthermore, the ability of the Evil God Wings was the "Dash" skill of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger — its speed comparable to teleportation.
The ability of the Evil God Hook was "Evil God Protection" — its strength went without saying.
In terms of abilities alone, these two external spirit bones were in no way inferior in value to two hundred-thousand-year spirit bones.
Once they grew, their value would be immeasurable.
Interestingly, perhaps because he had completely absorbed his own Birth Pearl, he didn't need to spend any time adapting to these two spirit bones. They had fused perfectly from the very beginning.
This saved him a great deal of time.
In addition to the two external spirit bones, the skill granted by the fifth spirit ring was also a domain.
However, it was not the "Life and Death Arena" that was essentially a bug, but rather the Evil God Domain used by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The first ability of the Evil God Domain was resistance to all control skills.
Due to the presence of ultimate evil power, all control-type spirit skills — including dizziness, paralysis, charm, fear, hypnosis, and so on — were ineffective against him.
The second ability increased the power of his own attribute spirit skills by 30% while simultaneously reducing the power of attribute spirit skills used by enemies by 10%.
If an enemy used an attribute that Lin Yang possessed, the damage was reduced by 30%.
In other words, if Lin Yang possessed the fire attribute and the enemy also had a fire-attribute martial soul, then within the Evil God Domain, the enemy's spirit skill power would decrease by 30% while Lin Yang's spirit skill power would increase by 30%.
This ebb and flow would only widen the gap in strength between them.
After absorbing the Birth Pearl, Lin Yang had inherited the six attributes of the Evil God Tiger (Evil, Space, Time, Darkness, Wind, Lightning). In addition…
The ice attribute he had previously obtained from consuming the Octagonal Ice Grass had also been fully activated.
Including fire and metal attributes, he now possessed a total of nine attributes.
That meant most types of Soul Masters would be countered by his domain.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile.
He really liked this ability.
However, having many attributes wasn't necessarily a good thing.
He merely possessed these attributes — it didn't mean he could control them, let alone use them skillfully in battle.
In the coming days, besides improving his cultivation, he would also need to allocate some time for self-study.
In the following days, Lin Yang first visited the Strength Clan to fulfill his promise to Bai He and introduced Bai Chenxiang to Qin Ming.
Although Bai Chenxiang's talent wasn't as great as Lin Yang's group, she was still a genius. Qin Ming naturally didn't reject her and quickly completed her enrollment procedures.
Qin Ming had originally wanted to remind Lin Yang not to skip classes too often.
However, when he saw the five spirit rings at Lin Yang's feet, he could only swallow his words.
After all, when the student was better than the teacher, what was the point of forcing him to attend class? Who was really teaching whom?
He simply pretended not to see it.
A few days later, Qian Renxue appeared at the Butterfly Garden in her original appearance.
She immediately tried to recruit Lin Yang again, but Lin Yang still refused.
This time, Qian Renxue didn't say much. She gave Lin Yang a regretful glance and handed him a token and a box.
She left behind the words "Contact me anytime once you've figured things out" and then disappeared.
Lin Yang had noticed that Qian Renxue seemed to be thinking about something, but it had little to do with him.
He looked at the items in his hands. Qian Renxue had clearly stated that these two items were thanks for saving her, so of course he wasn't foolish enough to refuse.
One of them was a heavy token — an Elder Token from the Spirit Hall, and of the highest rank.
Of course, possessing an Elder Token didn't necessarily mean he was an elder of the Spirit Hall, but it would at least save him a lot of trouble.
The other box didn't contain a spirit bone, but for Lin Yang it was something even better than a spirit bone.
"Grade 8 Golden Marrow Dragon Mushroom?"
Lin Yang's eyes lit up.
Although it didn't reach the level of a divine herb, it undoubtedly possessed power equivalent to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
Most importantly, it was an extremely rare and precious material that suited him perfectly.
His Nichirin Blade martial soul had been strengthened by five transcendent spirit rings and was already remarkably close to the golden peak without using any spirit skills.
However, it was still far from perfect.
This line was the boundary between heaven and earth.
The arrival of the Grade 8 Golden Marrow Dragon Mushroom was perfectly timed. It might help him overcome this difficult hurdle.
Why was the process of nurturing an ultimate martial soul from level 30 to 70 so slow?
How slow could it possibly become?
Furthermore, the spirit power of an ultimate martial soul was purer and more resilient, and its spirit power density far surpassed that of ordinary martial souls, making it easier to condense a spirit core.
With a spirit core, would one still need to worry about cultivation speed being slow?
With an ultimate martial soul, if he went all out, he might even be able to fight evenly against an ordinary Titled Douluo!
As for Super Douluo above level 95… Tch. He still had a long way to go!
...
One month later, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
An extremely sharp aura shot toward the sky. Pale golden sword light, like an invisible chain of blades, shattered everything around it into pieces.
Dugu Bo stared blankly at the Nichirin Blade on Lin Yang's arm and unconsciously swallowed.
Even if the blade's sharpness had previously put him on guard, now he truly felt threatened — a life-threatening threat.
From this sense of unease, he desperately refused to touch the blade.
After fully absorbing the effects of the Golden Marrow Elixir, Lin Yang suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp gaze made it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
Ultimate Gold — achieved!
After ending his secluded cultivation, Lin Yang's first action was to fight Dugu Bo.
Although Dugu Bo was skilled at handling poison, Lin Yang was not afraid of poison, giving him the advantage.
Furthermore, due to the sharpness of Ultimate Gold, Dugu Bo's combat style became very restricted.
Undoubtedly, even without activating his second martial soul, Lin Yang's strength was already comparable to a Soul Douluo.
This was confirmed by Dugu Bo himself.
It was at this moment that Dugu Bo first learned of the concept of "Ultimate."
When he heard about the huge difference between ultimate attributes and ordinary attributes, the old Poison Douluo's eyes lit up.
His Jade Phosphor Snake King's skills were mainly specialized in "poison."
Against weaker opponents, a single wave of poisonous mist would create mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
For a Titled Douluo of the same level, this poison seemed a bit weak.
But what if it was the most powerful poison?
Even if their accounts were banned, they probably wouldn't have the courage to touch it at all.
Only…
A faint trace of sorrow appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes. The poison in his body had not yet reached its limit, but he had already suffered for most of his life.
If it were an extremely powerful poison, he would probably die from it on the spot.
As for Yan Yan…
Dugu Bo shook his head. "Poison" was only one of her means, not the root cause.
Her path was to transform from a snake into a dragon.
And her achievements were destined to surpass those of all previous leaders.
