Martial Soul Solidifies, Who Am I?

Chapter 4: Martial Soul Solidifies—Who Am I?

Na'er was very adorable. With her staying behind, Long Yuan now had a little companion too.

He knew that Na'er would encounter many major troubles in the future.

He had to find a way to grow stronger as quickly as possible.

After meeting Na'er, the people Long Yuan wanted to protect now included Na'er, in addition to his adoptive mother, Lin Ximeng.

Whenever he thought of how, at the original story's ending, Gu Yuena had been pierced through by Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear, Long Yuan felt awful.

Since he had transmigrated here, he would absolutely not allow that to happen.

Tang Wulin was God King Tang San's son, and he would inevitably stand against Gu Yuena in the future.

With a God King for a father, it would be hard for him not to grow strong.

What Long Yuan needed to do was remain stronger than Tang Wulin at all times.

His final combat strength also had to surpass Tang San's.

"Since I can slowly draw out the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, I should learn some forging as well."

After finishing his cultivation, Long Yuan considered the path he would take in the future.

As Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline gradually drained away, it would definitely have a major impact on his forging.

But after drawing out the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Long Yuan's strength would grow at a terrifying rate. He would surely possess limitless potential in forging.

Forging could not only provide him with the resources needed for cultivation, but was also a necessary requirement for making Battle Armor.

After thinking it over, Long Yuan decided to study forging under Mang Tian.

However, without a transmigrator's system, it would not be easy for him to pass Mang Tian Workshop's assessment.

The thought gave Long Yuan a sense of urgency. After dinner, he returned to his bedroom and began meditating.

He meditated until dawn before stopping.

For a Soul Master, immersive cultivation meant that even without sleep, it would not affect the next day's lessons.

The following day proceeded as usual, with more routine classes.

After class, Tang Wulin stopped Long Yuan.

"Class Monitor Long Yuan!"

When the new students had first started school, Long Yuan had enthusiastically helped many of his classmates.

As a result, he had been chosen as the Soul Master Class's class monitor.

"What is it?"

Long Yuan looked at Tang Wulin with a puzzled expression.

The other boy seemed somewhat restrained, as though he wanted to say something but kept hesitating.

"Um... I feel like there's some kind of connection between us. Whenever you release your Martial Soul, my whole body feels uncomfortable. Do you know why?"

Tang Wulin led Long Yuan to a pavilion and revealed why he had sought him out.

He had thought about it for a long time, but still could not find an answer.

"Let's try it."

As Long Yuan spoke, he released his illusory, translucent Dragon Martial Soul with a rumble.

The Dragon Martial Soul coiled around his body. It was nearly transparent, so faint that one could not make it out at first without looking carefully.

However, he discovered that his Dragon Martial Soul seemed more solid than before.

A few golden threads had appeared on its illusory, transparent body.

Realizing that this might have been caused by drawing out part of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, a flash of excitement passed through Long Yuan's eyes.

If things continued like this, his Dragon Martial Soul would eventually become completely solid and grow immensely powerful.

"That strange feeling is back..."

The moment Long Yuan released his illusory Dragon Martial Soul, Tang Wulin's face instantly turned an ugly crimson red.

The skin across his body reddened slightly, while his body temperature rapidly soared.

Beneath his flushed skin, his veins faintly surfaced, and blood could be seen flowing through them.

Golden patterns emerged on his forehead, spreading like a web from his head down to his feet.

His bones let out faint cracking sounds.

Long Yuan's eyes widened at the sight. Wasn't this the same symptom Tang Wulin had displayed when he fainted before?

"Ah..."

Tang Wulin cried out, clutching his head with both hands as pain filled his face.

He dropped to his knees at once.

"This is too serious!"

Long Yuan rushed before Tang Wulin, keeping his Martial Soul released as he pressed his palm tightly against Tang Wulin's forehead.

The moment he pressed down, a powerful connection formed between him and Tang Wulin.

The golden patterns emerging on Tang Wulin's forehead transformed into golden threads, converging bit by bit toward Long Yuan's arm.

The Golden Dragon King Bloodline was transferring to Long Yuan at a visible speed.

At that moment, Tang Wulin's complexion gradually improved.

His mental state and skin were also steadily recovering.

As Long Yuan drew out the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from Tang Wulin's body, not only did his physical constitution improve.

His Spiritual Power, perception, and Soul Power were also growing stronger.

Besides that, his martial soul was changing little by little, gradually becoming more solid.

Boom! At some point, Long Yuan felt that he had drawn too much of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. He could no longer withstand it and had no choice but to stop.

After helping Tang Wulin this time, Long Yuan discovered that as long as he released his martial soul, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within Tang Wulin would react abnormally.

In other words, as long as he could endure the impact of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, he would only need to release his martial soul in the future to draw it out.

This was a major discovery for him.

"Thank you, thank you, Class Monitor!"

Tang Wulin's complexion and vitality had completely recovered, and he was deeply grateful to Long Yuan.

"No need to thank me. Your illness is too severe. How about this? Come here every day after school, and I'll help treat you.

That way, I believe you'll completely shake off this condition before long!"

Long Yuan patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder and voiced his thoughts.

His awakened martial soul was unusual. The moment he released it, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in Tang Wulin's body would react abnormally.

If he did not do this, Tang Wulin would definitely run into serious trouble.

Drawing out the Golden Dragon King Bloodline could both strengthen himself and prevent Tang Wulin from suffering any accidents.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

"Class Monitor, wouldn't that be inappropriate? Wouldn't it delay your cultivation?

Still, this illness of mine really is strange. Nothing happens if you don't release your martial soul, but the moment you do, something happens.

It really needs to be cured completely. Otherwise, when we compete in Team Competitions later, we won't be able to take the field together!"

The thought that he might be unable to compete in the future because of what had happened earlier was difficult for Tang Wulin to accept.

Therefore, when Long Yuan offered to help him, he did not refuse.

After returning home, Long Yuan went to sleep early. That night, golden patterns appeared on his forehead again, and he entered a dream.

In the dream, he became a massive golden dragon one moment, then changed back into himself the next.

"Who am I? I am the Golden Dragon King—no, I am Long Yuan, a transmigrator!"

The dream was too real, and he could not tell who he truly was.

"What kind of nonsense dream was that? I'm Long Yuan, a transmigrator!"

Dawn came, and the dream ended. Long Yuan felt that the dream he had had was absurd.

He went to class as usual that day.

After class, Tang Wulin took the initiative to ask Long Yuan to help relieve the pain caused by the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

His reason was that every time Long Yuan released his martial soul and triggered an abnormal reaction in him, he would sleep very comfortably after returning home.

Naturally, Long Yuan was happy to help with such a thing.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half years passed.

During those two and a half years, Long Yuan drew out the Golden Dragon King Bloodline through Tang Wulin almost every day.

Not only had his martial soul grown considerably, but it had also completely solidified, turning into a White Dragon.

On top of that, he had somehow automatically condensed a Pale Gold Soul Ring, a Blood Essence Soul Ring formed from the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

"Could it be that the Eighteen Seals Tang San placed on the Golden Dragon King Bloodline have already had two broken so quickly?"

Seeing the Pale Gold Soul Ring pulsing up and down around his body, Long Yuan revealed a shocked expression.

In the original work, one Blood Essence Soul Ring was gained for every two seals broken among the Eighteen Seals, and each Blood Essence Soul Ring could provide an ability similar to a Soul Skill.

The Golden Dragon King Bloodline he had obtained was drawn from Tang Wulin's body, so there was no question of seals.

If he could draw it out, then seals were irrelevant.

The Pale Gold Soul Ring was a Blood Essence Soul Ring bestowed by the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. Once his Soul Power reached the required level, it could automatically condense.

This Soul Ring granted Long Yuan four abilities similar to Soul Skills: Golden Scale Coverage, Right Hand Golden Dragon Claw, dragon scales, and Dragon Might.

They were precisely the skills granted by Tang Wulin's first Soul Ring through the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in the original work.

"Mm, not bad, not bad. Good deeds are rewarded. I'm level eleven now!"

Long Yuan was ecstatic when he saw his Soul Skill and his solidified Martial Soul.

However, for now, the solidified Martial Soul was the White Dragon Martial Soul, which seemed a little weak.

He felt that as his Golden Dragon King Bloodline increased in the future, his Martial Soul would continue evolving toward a higher grade.

Moreover, after condensing a Blood Essence Soul Ring, he did not need to buy a Soul Spirit. His Soul Power had directly risen to level eleven.

Still, he was quite interested in Soul Spirits as well. His Martial Soul was also very special.

It could be considered a Martial Soul formed from the fusion of the Void Dragon Martial Soul and the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. It could be said to be one Martial Soul, or it could be said to be two.

When he had the chance, he definitely needed to see whether he could still obtain additional Soul Rings and gain more Soul Skills through a Soul Spirit.

"Level eleven in two and a half years—not bad!"

In the original work, Tang Wulin had only reached level eleven after three years, and only then obtained a ten-year Soul Ring by purchasing a Soul Spirit.
