Dragon God Claw

"Check in," Su Xiao silently said.

"Ding. Host check-in successful. Reward: Ancient Dragon God Battle Skill, Dragon God Claw."

As the system's voice fell, a seven-colored stream of light entered Su Xiao's left arm. In an instant, he felt as though he possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Su Xiao asked, "System, how powerful is the Dragon God Claw?"

The cold electronic voice replied, "With the host's current cultivation, you can at most unleash half a percent of the Dragon God Claw's power, equivalent to a Soul King's full-force strike."

Su Xiao was slightly stunned. "Isn't this a five-star reward? How is it even weaker than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear External Spirit Bone's Soul Bone Skill, Sky-Rending Claw?

"Even Old Poison, Dugu Bo, wouldn't dare take the Sky-Rending Claw head-on."

System: "The host does not yet possess the Dragon God Bloodline, and therefore cannot fully unleash the Dragon God Claw's effects."

"How can I obtain the Dragon God Bloodline?"

"Please explore on your own."

"..."

Su Xiao helplessly curled his lips.

The most urgent matter was helping Tang San detoxify.

With the External Spirit Bone's help, Su Xiao successfully picked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and handed it to Tang San.

There was not the slightest hesitation in Tang San's eyes. He consumed the two immortal herbs with utterly opposing attributes, then jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb their medicinal power.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground and began studying the Dragon God Claw. If he could obtain the Dragon God Bloodline mentioned by the system, then with the Sky-Rending Claw in his right hand, the Dragon God Claw in his left, and Rule the World on top of that, becoming invincible across the Douluo Continent would be just around the corner.

Meanwhile, outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—

"Old Poison! Where are my A Xiao and Xiao San? Hand them over now!" Liu Erlong roared at Dugu Bo, with Flender and Yu Xiaogang close behind her.

Dugu Bo sneered. "Those two brats? They were poisoned by me and have already been reduced to nothing but flesh and bones."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned bloodshot as he shouted hysterically:

"Du!"

"Gu!"

"Bo!"

"So noisy!" Dugu Bo irritably picked at his ear as he fired a blast of Soul Power at Yu Xiaogang.

Flender and Liu Erlong blocked the attack for Yu Xiaogang. Flender glared furiously. "Dugu Bo, you'll regret killing Su Xiao and Tang San!"

"Just the three of you? It'll do for warming up these old bones."

Dugu Bo's vast Soul Power began spreading outward. The pale green Soul Power made the forest at night appear even more eerie.

Meanwhile, Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang took up a triangular formation.

Facing Dugu Bo, with nine Soul Rings pulsing around him, the three were wary, but they were determined to avenge Su Xiao and Tang San. So what if he was a Titled Douluo!

Seeing golden light flicker around the three of them, Dugu Bo muttered, "A trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Sun and moon shine together, golden light illuminates all.

Let my body serve as the vessel, and my Soul Power as the bond!

Descend!

Luo Sanpao, mutated destroyer of heaven and earth—

Ancient Dragon King, Golden Sacred Dragon!

The Golden Sacred Dragon's aura instantly overwhelmed Dugu Bo, forcing him to take the fight seriously as his seventh Soul Ring lit up.

Martial Soul Avatar, Jade Scale Serpent Emperor!

The tremendous commotion caused by the confrontation was naturally visible to Su Xiao in the Herb Garden.

"Teacher and the others are here. I need to hurry over and stop them before someone really gets hurt."

As Su Xiao hurried along, he kept watching the battle between the Golden Sacred Dragon and the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor.

At first, the Golden Sacred Dragon held the upper hand, but radiant light shot from the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor's eyes, directly petrifying the Golden Sacred Dragon's attack.

It should be the skill of Dugu Bo's head Soul Bone, Medusa's Gaze.

"Ants, is this the end?" Dugu Bo mocked.

"Not yet!" Yu Xiaogang bit his finger and drew an inscription in the air, seemingly prepared to fight to the death.

"Golden Sacred Dragon's ultimate secret technique, Sacred Dragon True Form—"

Before Yu Xiaogang could utter the last word, Su Xiao had already arrived at the battlefield and shouted:

"Teacher!"

When Yu Xiaogang and the other two saw that Su Xiao was unharmed, their eyes filled with joy.

Su Xiao came to Yu Xiaogang's side and said apologetically, "Teacher, Dean, Aunt Erlong, I made you worry. Senior Dugu Bo bears no ill intent."

Upon seeing Su Xiao, Dugu Bo withdrew his Soul Power, while Flender and the other two simultaneously dispelled their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"A Xiao, you're all right? Then where is Xiao San? Dugu Bo clearly said you and Xiao San were already dead," Yu Xiaogang asked worriedly.

Su Xiao smiled faintly. "Perhaps Senior Dugu Bo was joking. Senior Dugu Bo saw that Xiao San and I had decent talent and has been guiding us. Isn't that right, Senior Dugu Bo?"

Though Dugu Bo saw only Su Xiao and not Tang San, Su Xiao's choice to conceal the truth allowed him to guess that Tang San had already neutralized his poison. He might as well go along with it.

"I was testing whether your three teachers were qualified to instruct you and Tang San," Dugu Bo said, choosing a clumsy excuse.

Yu Xiaogang and the other two could also tell that Su Xiao and Dugu Bo were concealing something. Since Su Xiao did not say anything, they did not press further. As for Su Xiao and Tang San's safety—

"I'll leave my two disciples in your care, Senior," Yu Xiaogang said with a bow.

Liu Erlong took out a blue token. "For Senior Dugu Bo's guidance of my two junior nephews, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is deeply grateful!"

Flender added meaningfully, "Tang San's father would also thank Senior Dugu Bo if he knew of this."

Afterward, the Golden Iron Triangle departed, leaving Su Xiao and Dugu Bo behind.

"Su Xiao, your Martial Soul, the Holy Light Dragon, must be related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Then who is Tang San's father?" Dugu Bo asked.

"If I mention Uncle Hao's title, Old Poison, you'll probably be scared out of your wits!" Su Xiao said disdainfully.

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, then suddenly frowned.

Tang San's father, Uncle Hao, a Titled Douluo...

A terrifying figure abruptly surfaced in Dugu Bo's mind, making cold sweat break out from his heart-pounding fear.

Clear Sky Douluo!

"That's impossible. Tang San's Martial Soul is only Blue Silver Grass!" Dugu Bo questioned.

Su Xiao spread his hands, wearing an expression that said believe it or not.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly charged out of the woods.

"Where did this beast come from?"

"Stop!"
