At the foot of Sea God Mountain, Chen Yuan, who hadn't eaten for seven or eight days, was devouring a feast. Snow crab, lobster, various deep-sea fish, and unique vegetables and fruits from Sea God Island filled the table.
The already delicious food tasted even better after his period of hunger.
As they ate, Dugu Yan shared her thoughts:
"I want to refine the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake. The core contains extremely intense fire poison, which would be fatal to most people. However, my martial soul, whether it was the original Jade Phosphorus Snake or the current Jade Phosphorus Dragon, has always been immune to poison."
"If I can refine it, it might help me overcome the shortcomings of my martial soul and promote its further evolution."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Dugu Yan. "The Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake I killed back then was comparable to a spirit beast over 50,000 years old. Its inner core is indeed powerful. However, with your Jade Phosphorus Dragon martial soul, which evolved from the Jade Phosphorus Snake, and now that you've absorbed your seventh spirit ring to become a Spirit Sage, refining it shouldn't be a problem."
"Besides, with Rongrong and Lingling here, there shouldn't be any danger. Rongrong, you'll provide Yan Yan with spirit power and attribute boosts. Lingling, if Yan Yan gets burned by the fire poison, you'll need to heal her immediately."
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling immediately nodded in agreement.
After finishing the meal and taking a short rest, Dugu Yan took out the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake. A surge of tremendous energy fluctuations instantly spread out.
Once Dugu Yan was ready, she swallowed the inner core. It felt warm in her mouth, not scalding. However, as soon as the core entered her stomach, a surge of scorching, magma-like energy erupted from it, spreading through her meridians and into every part of her body. The burning sensation made her feel as if she were inside a furnace.
Dugu Yan's brows furrowed slightly. Her fair skin quickly turned crimson, and sweat poured out, only to evaporate instantly in the intense heat, forming wisps of white smoke that rose into the air.
A wave of scorching heat radiated from her, spreading outward. The air around her became unbearably hot, a testament to how high her body temperature had risen.
Ye Lingling summoned her martial soul, holding a pink begonia flower in her hands. Two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit ring rose beneath her feet. The fifth black spirit ring lit up instantly, and a pink glow mixed with begonia petals fell onto Dugu Yan, healing her burns.
Ning Rongrong followed suit, summoning her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Her third purple and sixth black spirit rings lit up, and two beams of light landed on Dugu Yan, providing a 70% boost to her spirit power and attributes.
For Dugu Yan, who had already been strengthened by the Love Eternal Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, her body was filled with vitality and resilience.
Now, with the full support of Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan's condition not only returned to its peak but surpassed it. She began channeling her spirit power to rapidly refine the energy of the inner core.
The scorching, magma-like energy of the inner core, now enveloped by Dugu Yan's spirit power, transformed from chaotic surges into a controlled flow. As the energy circulated repeatedly, the impurities were removed, and the pure energy merged with her spirit power, returning to her dantian and integrating with her martial soul.
Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Dragon wasn't originally a dragon-type martial soul but had evolved from the Jade Phosphorus Snake. Absorbing the energy of the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake, a unique serpent species, went surprisingly smoothly.
As a primordial variant species, the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake could form an inner core upon reaching adulthood, possessing earth-shattering power. This greatly compensated for the shortcomings of Dugu Yan's martial soul.
As the inner core's energy was gradually refined, her Jade Phosphorus Dragon martial soul grew larger and more powerful. More importantly, the energy helped consolidate all her spirit power into a single core, forming a core pearl unique to the Jade Phosphorus Dragon.
The pearl was emerald green, perfectly round, and brimming with tremendous energy. Perhaps it shouldn't be called a core pearl but rather a dragon pearl.
After forming this dragon pearl, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Dragon martial soul evolved once more, becoming the Jade Phosphorus Dragon Emperor. She also awakened the Jade Phosphorus Domain, further enhancing her control over deadly poisons.
Originally, after absorbing the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring and pushing it to 70,000 years, Dugu Yan had not only obtained the most suitable martial soul true form but also raised her spirit power to level 73. Now, after refining the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake's inner core and forming her dragon pearl, her spirit power had risen to level 75. Such gains were truly astonishing.
When Dugu Yan woke up and shared her achievements with the group, it elicited a wave of envious congratulations.
Forming a dragon pearl, evolving her martial soul, awakening a domain, and increasing her spirit power—such gains were impossible not to envy.
Currently, the spirit power levels among the group were as follows: Chen Yuan at level 86, Dugu Yan at level 75, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both at level 64, and Ye Lingling at level 58.
The significant gap in spirit power motivated everyone except Chen Yuan to train even harder. Two months later, even Ye Lingling, who had the lowest spirit power, finally reached level 60.
Bo Saixi arrived once more, handing Ye Lingling a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring.
Although Ye Lingling had only consumed one immortal herb and not a second, she pushed herself to her limit and obtained a 35,000-year sixth spirit ring, raising her spirit power to level 62.
All these gains were achieved in just half a year. They still had another half year to continue improving.
Unknowingly, the remaining six months passed.
It was now time for them to complete the first trial. Over the past year, they had all made tremendous progress.
Currently, Chen Yuan was at level 88, Dugu Yan at level 78, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing around level 67, and Ye Lingling at level 64.
Compared to a year ago, they had all gained nearly ten levels of spirit power. While some of this was due to absorbing God-Bestowed Spirit Rings, most of it came from their intense training under the Sea God's Light.
Standing before the steps covered by the Sea God's Light, Chen Yuan made the final arrangements. His expression was relaxed:
"Right now, I've reached the 700th step. Helping you all pass the trial won't be a problem. But this is your last chance to test your limits. Once you've reached your limit, I'll help you complete the trial."
Hearing this, the four girls were eager to test their progress over the past year.
