"Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar," Du Gu Yan whispered as the miniature energy snake in her hand dissipated.
As her Soul Rings flashed, Du Gu Yan's figure rose slightly, her body seeming to become more flexible, her legs transforming into a snake's tail, and a hint of coldness appearing in her narrow eyes.
However, she wasn't standing on the ground; instead, she floated half a meter above it, a pair of dark red energy wings appearing on her back.
"Good, very good."
Dugu Bo was overjoyed. Although he only saw his Granddaughter's appearance, which was different from before, he could be sure that it was much stronger than the previous Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.
"Indeed, quite interesting."
Broad Hill also sized up Du Gu Yan, nodding with interest before turning to Dugu Bo. "Your Granddaughter's evolution seems to be a bit more advanced than yours."
"What do you mean by that?"
Dugu Bo didn't care at all that Broad Hill was using his Granddaughter to belittle him, and instead eagerly pressed for an explanation.
"Well, it's understandable that you don't know. After all, although you have a family, you could also be said to have come from humble beginnings."
Broad Hill habitually insulted Dugu Bo before continuing, "According to the Spirit Hall's long-standing records, in the case of Martial Soul Avatar, especially for flying-type Martial Souls, it's not considered a Soul Skill. If the wings can appear directly in energy form after the Martial Soul Avatar, the quality is generally not bad, at least touching the edge of a top-tier Martial Soul."
"As for those whose arms turn into wings after the avatar, or who grow feathers, generally speaking, either they have significant flaws, or they can only fly and don't have much combat power. Someone like her, who can take off and fly on her own simply by using the avatar, definitely has a Martial Soul of high quality, among the best in the top-tier Martial Souls."
"So, she's made a huge profit," Broad Hill concluded.
"Directly entered the range of top-tier Martial Souls? And among the best?"
Dugu Bo looked at his Granddaughter floating beside him, his mouth splitting into a wide grin.
Although his previous Jade Phosphorous Serpent had also become a top-tier Martial Soul after evolving into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, its flaws were too great.
As for now, the impact of Martial Soul quality on him wasn't as significant as it was before he became a Titled Douluo. He was already very satisfied with becoming a Super Douluo.
On the other hand, he had always been worried about Du Gu Yan, fearing that his Granddaughter would precede him in death. Now, at least her becoming a Titled Douluo wasn't a problem, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.
While the two were talking, Han Li began to examine Du Gu Yan after her Martial Soul Evolution.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen Du Gu Yan's appearance after using Martial Soul Avatar.
The last time he went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they were just doing routine training and hadn't revealed their Martial Souls.
He curiously glanced at her lower body, which had transformed from legs into a snake's tail, wanting to explore the underlying principle.
From the color of the snake's tail, it could be seen that her Martial Soul had completely changed, and even the unique green scales of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent had turned into the same dark red as her hair.
Moreover, because of his elemental control, he could clearly sense that Du Gu Yan had a strong fire attribute aura, unlike Dugu Bo, who had hardly changed, with only a trace of purification aura mixed in his Soul Power.
Being stared at so brazenly at her snake tail, a flush of shyness flashed across Du Gu Yan's face, but she didn't cancel her Martial Soul Avatar. Instead, she floated closer to him, flicking her snake tail and placing it near his hand.
Huh? Looking at the snake tail that had landed near his hand, a big question mark arose in Han Li's mind, and he subconsciously stroked it.
With that action, Du Gu Yan's body trembled in mid-air, and she glared at him with a mix of shyness and annoyance, directly canceling her Martial Soul Avatar and returning to the ground.
Then, Han Li watched as her snake tail turned back into legs, and the strangest thing was that her shoes were still properly on her feet, which was quite outrageous.
Forget it, it's a fantasy world, so it's better not to interfere too much. An idea instantly popped into Han Li's head, and he gave up on further exploration.
Mainly because the current occasion wasn't suitable.
The two Titled Douluos had finished their conversation and turned their attention back to them.
"By the way, Sister Yan, try using the energy form avatar again," Han Li said with a normal expression.
"Yes, Yan Yan, try it quickly. Grandpa hasn't seen a Beast Martial Soul with this kind of avatar form before."
Dugu Bo and Broad Hill also looked at Du Gu Yan with some curiosity, urging her.
"Okay."
Du Gu Yan also wanted to try, and once again shouted "Martial Soul Avatar."
This time, the situation was different from before. Du Gu Yan's own changes weren't significant, or rather, her aura only became a bit colder.
A dark red snake-shaped energy phantom appeared above her head.
The group focused their eyes, only to discover that this Martial Soul phantom no longer resembled the Jade Phosphorous Serpent at all.
The Martial Soul phantom above her head was dark red overall, with a pair of wings on its back that constantly flickered with sparks.
The snake body was correct, but its head was strange.
From its appearance, its head was no longer a triangular snake head, but more like a dragon. However, it had no horns, and its eyes were still those of a snake, occasionally flicking its tongue, making it appear very intelligent.
Moreover, strangely, although the phantom still carried some of the coldness of a snake, its Martial Soul aura also contained some of the majesty of a dragon, making it difficult to distinguish whether it belonged to the snake or dragon family.
No wonder Du Gu Yan said that she herself couldn't tell whether her Martial Soul was a snake or a dragon.
"Her current state of Martial Soul Avatar is somewhat similar to the state of incomplete Martial Soul Avatar after a Soul Sage obtains their Martial Soul True Body."
Broad Hill observed for a while and said thoughtfully.
After speaking, he also mobilized a trace of aura and displayed a phantom of a bow on his back as a demonstration.
"Yes, it does look very similar. But Yan Yan, in this state, can you use Soul Skills?" Dugu Bo asked.
"I can."
After Du Gu Yan finished speaking, the yellow Soul Ring above her head flashed, and a linear energy beam containing explosive fire attributes and potent poison shot out from the snake-shaped phantom above her head.
The attack landed on a boulder not far away, instantly shattering it into pieces. The plants along the way were also ignited by the attack, and the plants hit by the splashed stones quickly turned black, completely losing their vitality.
"Not bad power." Broad Hill glanced at the damage she caused and casually commented. For a hundred-year first Soul Skill to have such performance, it was indeed good.
"Yan Yan, have your Soul Skills also changed? And this poison?" Dugu Bo was not as optimistic as him. After seeing the effect of the attack, he eagerly asked.
"Yes, after the Martial Soul Evolution, the Soul Skills also changed. The first Soul Skill is the attack I just used, which I call Magma Beam."
"Magma Beam is to spit out a linear energy of fire attribute from the mouth for long-range attacks, with burning and highly poisonous effects. It consumes very little Soul Power, has good penetration, and can be fired continuously without a cooldown time."
"As for the second Soul Skill, it's more of an amplification skill, increasing the power of the fire attribute by 30%, but it only lasts for half an hour with a one-hour cooldown."
Although Du Gu Yan spoke with regret, everyone present could see her expression. Obviously, she was very satisfied with the mutated Soul Skills.
"As for the poison, don't worry, Grandpa. My body is now completely free of toxins. This poison is considered a fire poison attached to the Martial Soul attack. The main attribute after the Martial Soul Evolution is fire, although, well, let's just say it's a snake, it also has venom glands, but unlike the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, its main attack method is fire attribute elemental attacks."
"Also, I can sense that after the Martial Soul Evolution, it has a very high resistance to poison itself. It can even assimilate and absorb poisons that invade the body with fire attribute elements. And the most amazing thing is that all poisons originating from itself, whether from the Martial Soul or myself, can be completely immune, and will never harm myself."
"So, Grandpa, you can rest assured. I won't be affected by poison anymore in the future." Du Gu Yan was very happy when she said this.
"Yan Yan, this is great news, but there's one thing you must remember. Your new Martial Soul, look, it has no horns and no feet. It must be a snake, how could it be a dragon? You're right, aren't you?"
Dugu Bo heard that his Granddaughter was no longer troubled by poison, and while relieved, his thoughts also went astray.
"Yes, Grandpa, you're right, it's a snake."
Du Gu Yan also nodded in agreement. She also felt that a snake was better. After all, she had always been proud of her snake-type Martial Soul for so many years, not to mention that her Martial Soul Avatar mode was still a snake tail.
