Douluo Dalu: My Martial Soul is VENOM

(Whether you like it or not, I will not change this, but I will not use aphrodisiac setting for other girls and no forcing, can exchange for previous treasures in exchange for them to stay by MC's side and they will gradually accept MC)

"You're a big-breasted love brain with no logical thinking!" Venom blurted out subconsciously. He bit his tongue the next second, realizing what he had just done.

"You're slandering Xiaogang! How dare you!" Liu Erlong roared in fury as flames began seeping out of her body.

Seeing this, Venom quickly fired his web at a tree dozens of meters away, pulling himself away to evade the heat radiating from her rage.

"Shit, I'm a fool! Why did I say that out loud? She's just one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo! And why the hell didn't I absorb a fire-type soul ring? At least I'd have some fire resistance!" Venom cursed himself inwardly.

The spot where he had been standing ignited instantly, burning fiercely.

Liu Erlong leaped at him, fists blazing like a savage berserker. Venom dodged using his webbing, firing various attacks—web bombs, sticky webs, web nets, web ropes—but they all burned away in seconds as her fury intensified.

She was annoyed at this slippery loach who kept evading her attacks just in time. But soon, she realized he was getting familiar with her patterns.

Possessed by her martial soul, Liu Erlong activated her first soul skill, increasing her attack range. Fiery dragon claws formed around her hands, slashing in all directions—up, down, left, right, forward, and backward.

Venom pushed his body to its limits, flipping and twisting, dodging relentlessly. He knew that if even a spark of her flames touched him, he'd be burned to ash.

He quickly covered himself in web silk using his soul ring, hoping to minimize direct exposure to the heat.

"You madwoman! Everything I say is the truth! Whether good or bad, I don't lie! Yu Xiaogang, after getting expelled from his sect, ran to the Spirit Hall and seduced their Saintess—another love brain, but more talented and ruthless than you. The Pope saw through him and kicked him out. And when he saw how naive his student was, he—"

"Shut up!" Liu Erlong's flames intensified, but Venom continued.

"Your dear Xiaogang knew you were his cousin and that the sect would never accept you! He played with your mind, intoxicated you with knowledge stolen from his own sect's library and the Spirit Hall using that Saintess. Your father stopped your marriage because he knew the truth! Yu Xiaogang, afraid of being exposed, abandoned you! He's a coward with an inferiority complex!"

For a brief moment, Liu Erlong hesitated.

Venom's heart leaped in hope.

But then—

"You're lying!" Liu Erlong roared. "Do you think your words can shake my love for him? Never! Tell me who sent you! Maybe I'll leave enough of you intact to be buried!"

"Sorry, but I'd rather have my ashes scattered in a river," Venom replied, shooting a web net at her face.

Liu Erlong activated her third soul ring, igniting a ten-meter radius around her in searing flames.

Venom realized he was at a disadvantage. His Eight Spider Lances burst from his back, boosting his speed. Every time Liu Erlong lunged, Venom countered with piercing strikes from his lances while covering her in webbing, making her movements sluggish.

However, the moment her body heat burned the webs, they hardened and stuck to her skin, causing scratches.

Liu Erlong activated her sixth soul skill, setting her entire body ablaze, then charged forward and struck Venom.

He retracted into Man An's body, but his Eight Spider Lances instinctively formed a shield.

The impact sent him flying.

Liu Erlong didn't stop, chasing after him.

Venom took control of Man An's body again, firing multiple webs to slow her down. It worked, allowing him just enough time to heal Man An's severely burned body.

By the time Venom landed, he had already used his Eight Spider Lances to put more distance between them.

Liu Erlong, now a hundred meters away, burned away the hardened webbing stuck to her skin.

"Why do love brains never listen when someone tells them the truth?" Venom muttered, knowing his words would do nothing to calm her down.

Liu Erlong had killed people for even minor offenses. Some called it vigilante justice, others a killing spree. Once, she wiped out an entire beast jungle near a small city just to vent her anger.

Even Flender had to step in to stop her. Meanwhile, that loser Yu Xiaogang had simply ignored it. Cruel bastard.

Venom sighed.

Liu Erlong's fury peaked. She had used all her soul skills except one, yet she still couldn't kill a mere Soul Ring Master.

"Seventh soul ring—Fire Dragon Avatar!" Liu Erlong roared.

A blazing energy dragon, over fifteen meters tall, formed around her.

"Fucking crazy woman! I'll never go near these love brains again!" Venom cursed.

Running was useless—she wouldn't let him escape.

"Fine! You've pushed me to my limit! I just wanted to join this academy, but today, I'll teach you the consequences of messing with an honest man!"

Venom's body swelled, transforming into a five-meter-tall monstrous form, his power increasing several times over.

"ROOOOAAAAAR!" Venom roared majestically.

But compared to Liu Erlong's fifteen-meter fire dragon, he was still small.

No matter. Even an ant could kill an elephant under the right circumstances.

Venom crouched, then leaped forward, forming a massive sword in his right hand and a shield covered in web silk in his left. His Eight Spider Lances loomed behind him.

He knew he couldn't face her head-on. His only chance was poison—specifically, the aphrodisiac poison he had created by absorbing a mix of Dugu Yan's and her grandfather's Perilous Poison.

Though originally an aphrodisiac, he had modified it. Even if inhaled by a man, it would still make him attracted to someone—regardless of gender.

Venom slashed at the fire dragon's chest, aiming to create an opening.

Cracks began forming.

Using his Eight Spider Lances, he struck violently. The cracks widened until finally—

A hole broke open in the chest.

Venom crawled inside and released the concentrated pink mist of his altered aphrodisiac poison.

Liu Erlong saw the pink mist and instinctively activated her sixth soul skill, causing a massive fire explosion inside the dragon.

But something unexpected happened.

The explosion dispersed the mist into the air, making it easier to inhale.

Liu Erlong, panting slightly after using too many soul skills, quickly covered her mouth and nose—but it was too late.

She had inhaled the poison.

Venom, now exhausted, ran half a kilometer away, thinking he was safe.

But then—

"You heretic! What kind of poison did you use on me?!"

A furious scream echoed, followed by a massive fireball.

Venom, caught off guard, couldn't dodge. Half of his symbiote burned away in an instant.

Using his remaining strength, Venom jumped aside, barely escaping.

Liu Erlong's consciousness wavered as her body succumbed to the aphrodisiac.

Venom, with half of his body gone, quickly healed Man An, whose wounds had reached the bone.

Seconds later, Man An collapsed from exhaustion.

When he woke up—

He was lying on a soft bed, completely naked.

Panic set in.

He summoned Venom—but the symbiote was half-dead in his hands.

"Shit! Venom's half body was evaporated! How do I heal him? Fairy herbs? High-level soul rings? But without Venom's full strength, I can't absorb powerful soul rings!

Then—my only chance is Dugu Bo's medicine garden!"

As he muttered to himself, he didn't notice someone—listening.

And watching.

With anger.
