On top of the mountain where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located, Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, soared into the air. Summoning his Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul, he activated his Martial Soul possession and Martial Soul true form.
On the other side, Lin Yu unfurled his external Spirit Bone, Thunder, and Wind Wings, and with a powerful flap, shot into the sky. Letting out a low shout, he summoned his Primal Chaos Green Lotus and Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Souls.
"Primal Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul! Golden Dragon Martial Soul!"
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation!"
At Lin Yu's command, his Heaven and Earth Cauldron and Pure World White Lotus Martial Souls returned to his body. A moment later, the full forms of his Primal Chaos Green Lotus and Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Souls emerged behind him.
As the two Martial Souls drew close, a radiant blue-golden light exploded from Lin Yu, shooting skyward in a brilliant pillar of energy.
"ROAR!!"
Moments later, with a deafening dragon roar, a majestic creature appeared in Lin Yu's place. Covered in black scales adorned with intricate dark-golden patterns, its long, serpentine body resembled an Eastern True Dragon, but its broad wings bore a resemblance to the Golden Sacred Dragon. Upon its forehead sat a crown-like bone crest shaped like a black lotus, exuding an aura of nobility and ancient power. This was the form of the fused Primal Chaos Green Lotus and Golden Dragon Martial Souls: the Chaos Ancestral Dragon.
As the Chaos Ancestral Dragon appeared, a terrifying dragon might burst forth, sweeping across the surrounding area and startling nearby spirit beasts.
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!" Dugu Bo muttered, his expression darkening as he sensed the overwhelming threat emanating from the Chaos Ancestral Dragon.
Ever since that mysterious question-and-answer broadcast room had appeared, it had only been about two years. Though this kid had received many rewards, not all of them were related to his combat power. Yet now, Lin Yu was emitting an aura that even a Titled Douluo like him found intimidating!
Moreover, Dugu Bo's Martial Soul was a serpent, while Lin Yu's was a dragon—a clear disadvantage for him!
But knowing that hesitation would only worsen his chances, Dugu Bo launched a preemptive strike. Opening his mouth, he unleashed a venomous, green Phosphor Serpent Poison attack, aimed directly at the Chaos Ancestral Dragon.
Effortlessly dodging the venomous assault with a beat of his dragon wings, Lin Yu's Chaos Ancestral Dragon evaded Dugu Bo's strike. The venomous green pillar struck the forest below, exploding on impact and filling the area with poisonous mist that quickly corroded the trees and left the ground pockmarked.
Having dodged the attack, Lin Yu's dragon form accelerated toward Dugu Bo. Realizing that a close combat exchange would spell his defeat, Dugu Bo immediately attempted to keep his distance. As a control-type spirit master with a serpent Martial Soul, his body was far weaker than a dragon-type Martial Soul in close combat.
Panicked, Dugu Bo unleashed several spirit skills to keep Lin Yu at bay:
"First Spirit Skill: Phosphor Poison Flame!"
"Second Spirit Skill: Scarlet Iron Python Constriction!"
"Third Spirit Skill: Corrosive Black Viper!"
The air rippled with spirit power as several spirit rings lit up around Dugu Bo. He unleashed a wave of green, toxic flames at Lin Yu, followed by conjuring two massive pythons—one red and one black—both laced with deadly poison, that lunged toward Lin Yu.
However, Lin Yu wasted no time. Activating the power of the Pure World White Lotus, the bone crown on his head radiated blinding white light. The approaching toxic flames and the two venomous pythons disintegrated upon contact with the pure light, their poison nullified entirely.
"What?!" Dugu Bo gasped, his pupils shrinking in shock.
But before he could react, Lin Yu's Chaos Ancestral Dragon had already closed the distance. In desperation, Dugu Bo summoned his defensive fifth spirit skill, Serpent Python Celestial Shield. Yet it proved futile, as Lin Yu's dragon claws slammed down with overwhelming force, sending Dugu Bo crashing to the ground.
Boom!
Trees shattered as Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent True Form was smashed into the earth. A crater formed beneath him, and dust filled the air.
Even though Dugu Bo's body had been ravaged by Lin Yu's assault, his scales flying from the impact, he stubbornly clung to life. In the cover of the dust cloud, Dugu Bo unleashed his eighth spirit skill, Time-Space Freeze, sending a green beam of light toward Lin Yu, hoping to immobilize him and turn the tide.
But to no avail. Enveloped in the purifying light of the Pure World White Lotus, Lin Yu was immune to Dugu Bo's spirit skills.
Seeing that Dugu Bo was still resisting, Lin Yu dove from the sky and ruthlessly beat down him, pummeling him with the power of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon. Dugu Bo, unwilling to surrender, hoped to outlast the Martial Soul Fusion Skill's duration. But his fragile serpent body could not withstand the ferocity of Lin Yu's attacks for long. Before he knew it, his Jade Phosphor Serpent True Form was shattered, and he reverted to his human form, spitting blood as he fell to the ground.
"Elder Dugu Bo, do you yield now?" Lin Yu hovered in the air, his Thunder and Wind Wings fluttering gently as he deactivated his Chaos Ancestral Dragon transformation. He looked down at Dugu Bo, a playful smirk on his face.
"You…!" Dugu Bo struggled to stand, coughing up more blood as he glared up at Lin Yu. He felt both humiliated and helpless.
"I, Dugu Bo… yield!" he finally admitted with a bitter sigh.
Though he had always been a man of extremes—ruthless and feared—Dugu Bo had one principle he adhered to keeping his word. Faced with Lin Yu's overwhelming strength and the promise of a cure for his family's poison, he had no other choice.
And so, Dugu Bo submitted.
