Hydro Fire Dragon Kings' Sacrifice!

Dugu Bo underwent some subtle changes while in Martial Soul Possession.

First, a green poisonous horn grew from the center of his forehead.

Then there were the scales and claws.

"Ha ha... Wonderful! This feels absolutely wonderful!"

Dugu Bo himself had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt so relaxed.

Though he had once possessed great strength, he had suffered frequent backlash from his own poison, leaving him in torment worse than death!

If Dugu Yan had not still been so young, he might have given up all hope of living long ago.

Only those who had personally endured that pain could understand just how terrifying it truly was!

After a while, Dugu Bo's laughter subsided, and he withdrew his Martial Soul.

His appearance now was also vastly different from before.

His jade-green hair had turned grayish white, returning to its normal color. His pupils had likewise returned to normal, though they still retained a faint trace of green.

To Dugu Bo, such a minor issue was no issue at all.

"Kid, this transaction is complete. From now on, this place belongs to you!"

With his hands clasped behind his back, Dugu Bo spoke calmly, wearing the air of an expert.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Dugu!"

As soon as Neuvillette finished speaking, Dugu Bo waved his hand and continued, "It was merely a transaction. Why thank me? This old man has other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo looked over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once more, a trace of reluctance flashing through his eyes. He had spent more than half his life tending this place!

Unfortunately, it no longer belonged to him.

Without waiting for Neuvillette or Lakesius to say anything, Dugu Bo flashed away and left, showing not the slightest "reluctance."

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would regret it!

After Dugu Bo left, Neuvillette said, "Grandfather, go pick the Immortal Herbs you need first. I'll see which ones suit me best."

"Alright!"

Lakesius did not stand on ceremony. He nodded and headed toward the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

Those two Immortal Herbs suited him quite well, and neither was suitable for Neuvillette to absorb.

The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was Fire Attribute, while Neuvillette was Water Attribute. They were completely incompatible.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot was different, however, because it was meant to balance the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. Only by swallowing both Immortal Herbs together could one gain a body immune to ice and fire.

Once he possessed a body immune to ice and fire, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum would be useless to Neuvillette as well.

After seeing the old man take the two Immortal Herbs and head into a corner to absorb them, Neuvillette surveyed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once more.

Yet his mind had already turned to his Sea of Consciousness.

"Focalors, how are you going to absorb this energy?"

Neuvillette asked in confusion.

Focalors did not currently possess a tangible form, and for the time being, she could not leave Neuvillette's Sea of Consciousness. Only after accumulating enough energy could she emerge and survive outside.

How was Focalors supposed to absorb this energy now?

As for Immortal Herbs? What could be more important than his wife!

"You only need to touch the ice and fire spring water."

"???"

Neuvillette froze. Was Focalors treating him as a transfer station?

You really are slippery on your feet!

"Then it seems the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot..."

Before Neuvillette could finish, he suddenly felt as though voices were sounding beside his ears.

"Impossible, how is this possible!"

"A dragon in human form!??"

"And one with the Water Attribute. Her rank is even higher than mine was when I was alive..."

"Old Water, did you see wrong?"

"No, there's absolutely no mistake. Her current strength may seem mediocre, but her rank truly surpasses mine!"

"A dragon in human form? Strange! Too strange!"

"Did Father ever create a dragon in human form?"

"I don't know. My memories are incomplete..."

The voices could not possibly have been hallucinations. Neuvillette frowned. Had he stirred the remnant souls of Douluo Star's Hydro Fire Dragon Kings?

He knew that these two old fellows had not completely died!

But their dragon souls should not have possessed self-awareness. They were supposed to re-form only twenty thousand years later.

Yet they still possessed self-awareness now?

"Could Father have created one but never told us?"

The first-generation Dragon Kings were all sons of the Dragon God. They addressed the Dragon God either as Father or Divine Father.

"That shouldn't be possible. I am already the Hydro Dragon King. There is no reason for Father to create another Hydro Dragon King..."

"What if Father simply didn't like the look of you..."

"..."

The Hydro Fire Dragon Kings talked for quite some time. They themselves had forgotten exactly how long they had been dead.

Just as their consciousnesses were about to dissipate, a dragon in human form appeared before them!

Her rank was above theirs!

"She is still far too weak. Since we are going to dissipate anyway, why not use this opportunity to lend her a hand?"

"Though we have never seen a dragon in human form, she is undoubtedly of our race. Her rank is above ours, and perhaps the hope of the dragon race's rise lies with her!"

"I have no objection to lending her a hand!"

"Good! Then our deaths will not have been in vain!"

Neuvillette was stunned. What were these two Dragon Kings talking about?

Why could he not quite understand?

What did they mean by lending him a hand?

Just as Neuvillette was puzzled, two dragon souls flew out from the ice and fire spring water and stared straight at him!

One was icy blue, the other fiery red.

Unlike Eastern dragons, they resembled winged lizards more.

Neuvillette did not panic in the slightest and simply observed the two dragon souls.

They looked at each other, then gave Neuvillette no chance to speak. Light burst forth from their bodies as they transformed into streams of radiance and shot toward Neuvillette.

"???"

"???"

Both sides froze. Douluo Star's Hydro Fire Dragon Kings quickly reacted.

Martial Soul?

Before they died, the concept of Martial Souls had not existed. There had not even been Martial Souls, so naturally, they did not understand what they were.

Still, they could see through appearances to the essence.

"Have the rules of this Douluo Star evolved into this?"

The two Dragon Kings thought to themselves.

They did not hesitate and continued what they had been doing.

Neuvillette instantly entered Martial Soul Possession. He himself was the Martial Soul; the so-called Martial Soul Possession was merely a state.

Before long, two golden rings slowly rose beneath his feet. The two dragon souls also became increasingly translucent. Just before they vanished, some unknown force seemed to seize Neuvillette and shove him into the ice and fire spring water.

Their inheritance was still there!

"???"

What was going on?

These two old fellows had been dead for so long, yet they could still fucking "sacrifice" themselves?

Fortunately, Lakesius was currently refining the Immortal Herb energy and preparing to break through to Titled Douluo in one go, so he had not noticed what was happening outside. Otherwise...
