Chapter 49: Jade Phosphorus Poison Arrow Rain
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo grabbed the Poison Arrow Frog by its leg and brought it to the edge of the Toxic Swamp.
With a loud thud, Dugu Bo dropped the Poison Arrow Frog, and it landed heavily on the ground.
Dugu Bo landed on the ground immediately after, looking at Dugu Yan with a solemn expression.
"Yan Yan, this is an 8,000-year Spirit Beast. Normally, the fourth spirit ring of a Spirit Master is absorbed from those under 5,000 years."
"Absorbing an 8,000-year spirit ring beyond the limit will indeed bring you a massive boost, but it also comes with certain risks. Consider it carefully yourself; if you are unwilling, Grandpa will never force you."
Dugu Yan heard the concern in Dugu Bo’s voice and gave a charming, naive smile before saying with a face full of confidence:
"Grandpa, I am willing to absorb this spirit ring, and I don’t think it involves much risk."
"I know perfectly well how strong my physique is now. Absorbing an 8,000-year spirit ring will definitely not be a problem."
After stating her position, Dugu Yan jogged over to the Poison Arrow Frog and looked at this massive Spirit Beast.
Ordinary short knives or swords probably wouldn’t be able to kill this 8,000-year Spirit Beast.
Thus, Dugu Yan performed her Martial Soul Possession. Dragon scales emerged from beneath her skin one by one, interlocking to form a set of Dragon scale armor. A rhombic crystal also appeared on her forehead, with a sharp point on both its left and right sides, making it look like Dragon horns.
Yellow, yellow, purple—three spirit rings gradually rose beneath her feet, and then the third purple spirit ring suddenly lit up.
"Third Spirit Ability: Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison!"
Dugu Yan took a deep breath, a faint purple glow appearing in her emerald-green eyes, and then she spat out a cloud of purple toxic mist.
The purple toxic mist spread forward and soon coated the Poison Arrow Frog’s body.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The intense corrosive effect caused clouds of white smoke to rise from the surface of the Poison Arrow Frog’s skin.
Although the Poison Arrow Frog, as a poison-attribute Spirit Beast, possessed a certain degree of poison resistance, it was currently unconscious and completely unable to mobilize the spirit power within its body to resist.
The intense pain caused the Poison Arrow Frog’s body to begin twitching involuntarily.
Suddenly, with a croak, the Poison Arrow Frog snapped its eyes open, its gaze filled with pain and ferocity; it had actually been woken up directly by the pain.
After the Poison Arrow Frog woke up, its body began thrashing and struggling violently, instinctively trying to attack Dugu Yan.
However, Dugu Bo was still standing right beside her!
Seeing the Poison Arrow Frog still struggling, Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and the spirit power pressure of a Titled Douluo poured out once more, pressing down on the Poison Arrow Frog like an overwhelming mountain.
Unable to withstand it, the Poison Arrow Frog’s eyes rolled back, and it quickly fainted again.
Only its body would still twitch a few times from time to time due to the intense pain.
In less than a minute, the Poison Arrow Frog’s life came to a complete end. Under the corrosion of the purple toxic mist, the Poison Arrow Frog almost turned into a heap of rotten meat, emitting a foul stench that made one frown.
In the next instant, an intense purple light erupted from within its body, emitting startling energy fluctuations, finally gathering to form a purple spirit ring.
Seeing the spirit ring appear, Dugu Yan did not absorb it immediately but instead looked at Dugu Bo and Lu Chen and said:
"Grandpa, Grandpa Lan Chen, I’ll have to trouble you to be my Protectors."
After saying this, Dugu Yan sat down cross-legged and, with a beckoning wave of her hand, the purple spirit ring drifted toward her, gradually encircling her body before quickly shrinking and merging into her.
Boom!
A wave of cold and overbearing energy instantly swept through Dugu Yan’s internal body, her limbs and bones, and her internal organs, causing her delicate willow-leaf eyebrows to furrow slightly.
After all, this was an 8,000-year spirit ring!
The energy contained within it was extremely massive and violent!
However, Dugu Yan demonstrated her ability to remain calm in the face of danger. Relying on the strength of her Jade Phosphorus Dragon Spirit, she withstood the first wave of energy impact.
spirit ring energy follows the principle that the first surge is the strongest, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted; the first wave of energy impact is always the most fierce and difficult to block.
As long as one could endure the first wave of energy impact, the subsequent waves would become increasingly weaker, and enduring them would become easier and easier.
Before long, Dugu Yan’s absorption of the Poison Arrow Frog spirit ring passed its most dangerous moment and gradually began to get on the right track.
Dugu Bo, who had been standing guard nearby, breathed a sigh of relief at this sight; just now, his heart had truly been in his throat.
He had been terrified that his granddaughter would suffer damage to her Meridians and Dantian, or that her Foundation would be wounded because she couldn’t withstand an 8,000-year spirit ring.
Compared to Dugu Bo’s nervousness, Lu Chen appeared much more calm.
After all, the Immortal Herb he had chosen for Dugu Yan was the Dragon Origin Fruit, which inherited part of the Dragon essence of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.
If Dugu Yan, having absorbed the Dragon Origin Fruit, couldn’t even absorb an 8,000-year spirit ring, that would be the truly strange thing.
So from the very beginning, Lu Chen had nothing to be nervous about.
He even had the presence of mind to greet Dugu Bo before running off into the forest to go hunting.
Through the Blue Silver Grass spread throughout the forest, he found a Spirit Beast that was a Grass Chicken of about two hundred and fifty years in less than ten minutes.
Lu Chen used his Blue Silver Domain to drive the Blue Silver Grass, causing it to grow wildly and weave into a large net of Blue Silver Grass, easily capturing that Grass Chicken Spirit Beast.
After capturing it, Lu Chen immediately killed it, plucked its feathers, removed its internal organs, washed it clean, and then cut some firewood to set up a campfire for a barbecue upon his return.
Seeing Lu Chen so leisurely, Dugu Bo gave him a glare, but soon smelling that faint aroma of meat, Dugu Bo quickly called out:
"Brother Lan Chen, don’t just think of yourself; leave half for me and Yan Yan."
Lu Chen agreed with a smile:
"No problem."
Time passed bit by bit!
After approximately six hours of absorption, Dugu Yan finally successfully absorbed that 8,000-year Poison Arrow Frog spirit ring.
She opened her eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, and jumped up from the ground full of energy.
It seemed that this spirit ring absorption had brought her enormous benefits.
Dugu Bo hurriedly asked:
"Yan Yan, how do you feel? What rank has your spirit power reached? What kind of Spirit Ability did you obtain?"
Dugu Yan raised her head and said in a jubilant tone:
"I feel wonderful; my body is filled with power."
"My spirit power has currently reached Rank 46. I find it incredible that absorbing the medicinal power of the Dragon Origin Fruit actually allowed me to increase by more than ten ranks of spirit power."
"Also, my fourth Spirit Ability is called Jade Phosphorus Poison Arrow Rain. It can condense multiple poison arrows for an attack. The poison arrows contain a violent neurotoxin; as long as they make contact with the skin, they will instantly erode the target’s body, causing them to lose control over their own body while remaining conscious."
"As a special effect of absorbing a spirit ring beyond the limit, the number of poison arrows my fourth Spirit Ability can condense has no upper limit. As long as my spirit power is sufficient, condensing dozens or even hundreds of them is no problem at all. This kind of large-scale attack is enough to make it impossible for others to even dodge."
After hearing what Dugu Yan said, Dugu Bo’s face was full of amazement; at the same time, Dugu Bo was also happy for Dugu Yan for obtaining such a massive boost.
Right at that moment, Lu Chen strode over to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s side, holding up a roasted Grass Chicken, and said with a smile:
"Now that Yan Yan has finished absorbing her spirit ring and this Grass Chicken is roasted, let’s eat it together. We haven’t eaten a single bite of food since last night until now."
