Chapter 45: Transforming Dragon
Watching the cheering Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo praised her with a face full of doting, "Yan Yan, you’re amazing!"
Dugu Bo then looked at Lu Chen with a meaningful gaze. As a Titled Douluo, his mental force was very sharp.
Just now, when Lu Chen communicated with the Dragon Origin Fruit through the Blue Silver Domain, Dugu Bo had keenly sensed it!
He felt curious about Lu Chen’s ability to communicate with plants, but more than that, he felt gratitude towards Lu Chen.
Perhaps just now, if not for Lu Chen’s help, his granddaughter would never have been able to gain the recognition of the Dragon Origin Fruit.
Dugu Bo spoke in a grateful tone, "Brother Lan Chen, thank you so much for what just happened. Now that the Dragon Origin Fruit has recognized Yan Yan, can she eat this fruit now?"
Lu Chen nodded with a faint smile and replied, "She can eat the Dragon Origin Fruit at any time. The dragon essence contained within the Dragon Origin Fruit is absolutely sufficient to allow Yan Yan’s Jade Phosphor Snake to evolve into an infinitely powerful Jade Phosphorus Dragon."
Having received Lu Chen’s affirmative reply, Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan with encouraging eyes, his voice filled with expectation, "Yan Yan, hurry and eat this fruit. Grandfather wants to see your Spirit evolve and completely rid yourself of the Spirit defect where the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison backlashes against your body."
Dugu Yan responded, then sat cross-legged on the grass. She took a few deep breaths and, with a mix of anticipation and excitement, ate the Dragon Origin Fruit.
The fruit flesh melted upon contact with her mouth; without even needing to chew, it turned into sweet juice and was swallowed down her throat.
In just a short while, the fist-sized Dragon Origin Fruit was completely eaten by Dugu Yan.
In an instant, a dense energy fluctuation erupted from within Dugu Yan’s body.
Waves of purple light surged within her Meridians, spreading to her internal organs and throughout her limbs, then piercing through her flesh, causing every inch of Dugu Yan’s skin to radiate a rich purple glow.
Dugu Yan’s face showed a trace of nervousness. She could clearly sense that the energy surging within her at this moment far exceeded her level thirty-five spirit power.
If this energy were to riot, it would inevitably tear her body to shreds, which made Dugu Yan feel somewhat panicked and uneasy.
Just at this moment, Lu Chen’s gentle voice reached Dugu Yan’s ears, "Yan Yan, do not be nervous. Since the Dragon Origin Fruit has already recognized you, it will not resist your absorption. You must keep your mind steady, do not let your thoughts wander, and focus on sensing all the changes brought to your body, Soul, spirit power, and Spirit after the dragon essence of the Dragon Origin Fruit merges with you."
Lu Chen’s voice seemed to possess some kind of magic; upon hearing it, Dugu Yan’s nervous mood gradually eased.
Following what Lu Chen said, she closed her eyes, kept her mind steady, and focused on sensing the unprecedented changes brought to her body, Soul, spirit power, and Spirit after the dragon essence of the Dragon Origin Fruit merged with her.
Every cell in her body was cheering at this moment because the dragon essence of the Dragon Origin Fruit was thoroughly remaking her body.
This process was a cleansing of the marrow and a rebirth.
To put it more intuitively, this process could also be called... Dragon Transformation!
Purple light, shimmering with astonishing energy fluctuations, erupted continuously from Dugu Yan’s body, wrapping her entire body inside and forming a massive purple cocoon of light.
Within that purple cocoon, Dugu Yan was undergoing an unprecedented transformation, a comprehensive rebirth of her body, Soul, spirit power, and Spirit.
Dugu Bo, standing not far from Dugu Yan, watched as she turned into a purple cocoon of light. Although his expression remained as usual, the anxiety revealed in his eyes showed that his heart must be extremely unsettled at this moment.
As the saying goes, care leads to chaos!
After all, the person in that cocoon of light was Dugu Bo’s only relative; even with his cold, iron-hard heart, he could not view it with indifference.
It was Lu Chen who walked over and consoled him with a relaxed expression, "Brother Dugu, carefully sense it. Within that purple cocoon of light, isn’t Yan Yan’s aura constantly growing stronger?"
"So there is nothing to worry about; for Yan Yan, this is a good thing with a hundred benefits and no harm."
"When Yan Yan comes out of the cocoon, she will surely have finished absorbing the dragon essence, her Spirit will have evolved, her Jade Phosphor Snake will have evolved into a Jade Phosphorus Dragon, and she will have completely rid herself of the Spirit defect where the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison backlashes against your body."
Hearing Lu Chen’s consolation, the anxiety in Dugu Bo’s heart eased slightly. After a bitter laugh, he said helplessly, "Brother Lan Chen, I know what you say makes sense, but after all, she is my only granddaughter. My heart, it has been pounding, and I simply cannot calm down."
Lu Chen sighed inwardly; who could have imagined that Dugu Bo, whom the world feared like a tiger, also had such a tender side.
He placed his hands behind his back and continued to converse with Dugu Bo, "Brother Dugu, the Dragon Origin Fruit that Yan Yan ate is one of the Immortal Herbs with the highest quality and best medicinal effects in this entire valley."
"Actually, there is another Immortal Herb that I think is also very suitable for you; the name of that Immortal Herb is Earth Dragon Golden Melon."
"It is an earth-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure, which also contains a certain amount of dragon essence. Earth attribute is neutral and balanced, one of the gentlest attributes, and it will not conflict with the poison attribute of the Jade Phosphor Snake Spirit."
"Yan Yan has already eaten the Dragon Origin Fruit; I think it would be better for you, Brother Dugu, to eat this Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Your Jade Phosphor Snake has already evolved into a Jade Phosphor Serpent."
"As you said, a mere Immortal Herb might not be enough to cause the Jade Phosphor Serpent to evolve."
"However, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon can grant you a second attribute, the earth attribute. The poison attribute and the earth attribute will not cause any conflict. By using the earth attribute to suppress the poison attribute, you will also be able to rid yourself of the Spirit defect where the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison backlashes against your body."
After listening to what Lu Chen said, Dugu Bo’s heart stirred. According to this analysis, eating that Earth Dragon Golden Melon would indeed be of great benefit to him.
At the same time, Dugu Bo could also hear that this was Lu Chen genuinely thinking of him from the bottom of his heart. A few traces of gentleness appeared in his emerald green eyes, and a faint smile hung on his face.
"Brother Lan Chen, I know of your good intentions, but for now, I still cannot set my heart at ease regarding Yan Yan."
"After Yan Yan completes her Spirit evolution, I will find another opportunity to eat the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. In any case, the Immortal Herbs are all in this valley, so I do not need to rush."
Hearing Dugu Bo say this, Lu Chen did not say anything more.
Dugu Bo himself was not in a rush, so why should he be anxious on the side?
Besides, the Immortal Herb wouldn’t run away!
Lu Chen and Dugu Bo stood together, waiting for Dugu Yan to break out of her cocoon.
Time passed quickly without them noticing. Soon, the sky brightened, the red sun rose in the east, and rays of warm sunlight shone in from outside the valley, illuminating the interior of the valley.
At this time in Heaven Dou City, the spies hiding near the Dugu Residence only just realized, belatedly, that Dugu Bo and Lu Chen had long since disappeared.
Upon discovering this situation, they hurriedly went back to report, some to the Crown Princes Residence, and some to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
