External Soul Bone, Second Evolution

Even in the critical moment, Quan Yi's movements remained perfectly steady.

He swam quickly upwards, preparing to unleash his Sixth Soul Skill at any moment.

If there is even the slightest sign of things getting out of control, he will unleash the Scarlet Dragon Descent, which consumes energy.

However, once the Soul Power reaches its limit...

Nothing that Quan Yi worried about happened.

After the Scarlet Dragon Horns reached its energy storage limit, Quan Yi felt an itch in the skull area connected to the dragon horn.

This was a deep-seated itch, but with Quan Yi's willpower, this itch wasn't a big problem for him.

Meanwhile, Quan Yi discovered that after the Scarlet Dragon Horns's reserves reached their limit, the Scarlet Dragon Horns actually used the extra energy as nutrients and absorbed it on its own.

The itching that Quan Yi felt was a sign that the Scarlet Dragon Horns was growing.

The Quan Yi stopped its swimming motion and stopped at a point fifty meters away.

He reached out and touched the Scarlet Dragon Horns with his Gauntlet.

By touch, he noticed that the Scarlet Dragon Horns seemed to have gotten thicker.

No, it's not just a feeling; the Scarlet Dragon Horns have indeed become thicker, and this change is ongoing.

The Scarlet Dragon Horns was still releasing a terrifying suction force, and the absorbed energy was clearly being used as nourishment for its growth.

Quan Yi finally understood the reason for the strange change in the Scarlet Dragon Horns.

evolution.

The current situation is very similar to when Quan Yi's Martial Soul Evolution.

The instinct for evolution drove the Scarlet Dragon Horns to spontaneously enter the evolutionary process.

Realizing this, Quan Yi decided to stay here and wait for the External Soul Bone to complete its transformation.

Immediately, Quan Yi stood fifty meters away, observing the changes in the Spirit Bone.

As Quan Yi dived into the spring, Dugu Bo at the foot of the mountain was also undergoing his trial.

It was past midnight.

The pricking sensation in Dugu Bo's soles and head arrived as expected.

The intense pain caused Dugu Bo's body to spasm uncontrollably.

Normally, at this time, Dugu Bo would hide here and quietly endure the pain dissipating.

The pain lasts for about half an hour.

If you can endure this for half an hour, there will be no major problems.

However, things are different now. Today, Dugu Bo's safe haven has been invaded by outsiders.

This made Dugu Bo uneasy.

Although Dugu Bo intuitively believed Quan Yi, he dared not relax his vigilance rationally.

This forced him to endure the pain while remaining vigilant about the situation outside the cave entrance.

Half an hour has passed.

Nothing happened.

Dugu Bo got up, tidied his appearance, and walked out of the cave.

The night was deep outside. Dugu Bo glanced at the bright moon and a stiff smile appeared on his lips.

His eyes sparkled, and he felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

This is because he saw hope.

However, the one who brought him hope was the Little Bandit he hated.

Realizing this, Dugu Bo immediately withdrew his smile and snorted coldly.

He leaped up to the mountaintop, landed around the Medicine Garden, and surveyed the surrounding area.

In the tranquil space, only Dugu Bo and the sleeping Nine-Section Emerald remained.

"Where did that kid go?"

Dugu Bo looked around but couldn't find Quan Yi anywhere.

He walked up to the Aromatic Silk Beauty and pinched the sleeping Nine-Section Emerald with his fingers.

More than half an hour had passed, Nine-Section Emerald's once swollen belly had shrunk.

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze towards it somewhat cold.

In the end, Dugu Bo chose to let this little traitor go.

He shook the Nine-Section Emerald with his finger and asked, "Where did your new owner go?"

Nine-Section Emerald was sleeping soundly when it was suddenly jolted awake by a tremendous force.

"Click!"

Nine-Section Emerald angrily opened its small mouth, revealing its sharp fangs to Dugu Bo.

However, when it discovered that the other party was Dugu Bo, it froze instantly.

It hurriedly closed its mouth, revealing an obedient expression.

Dugu Bo released a trace of Murderous Aura towards the Nine-Section Emerald, and then released it.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Nine-Section Emerald, driven by instinct, darted toward Quan Yi the moment it landed.

However, it discovered that Quan Yi's mental fluctuations were actually coming from beneath the dangerous spring.

Dugu Bo, who was following behind, saw the Nine-Section Emerald standing by the spring, looking at the water.

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Could it be inside? No, impossible! Even I can't stay in this spring for long."

Dugu Bo stood on the bank, looking into the spring.

Through the boiling spring water, he saw a shadow, and he also noticed that the temperature of the red spring water was higher than usual.

"That kid really is inside."

How did he do that?

Dugu Bo was extremely shocked and found it hard to accept for a moment.

In the spring of spring Quan Yi, through the perspective of the Fire Element, Dugu Bo was discovered.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Since Dugu Bo couldn't get in anyway, he focused his attention more on the Scarlet Dragon Horns.

More than half an hour passed, Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Horns slowly grew from four inches to six inches, or about sixty centimeters.

Moreover, as the length increases, the base of the forehead also widens.

The area affected by the itching sensation continued to expand, even exceeding the area at the base of the dragon's horn.

The itching sensation spreads outwards from the base of the dragon horn.

Itching started to appear all over my forehead, around my eyes, and even below my eye sockets.

Sensing something amiss, Quan Yi couldn't help but touch the skin around his eyes with his hand.

However, to Quan Yi's surprise, he found that the itchy area felt like he was touching something hard.

He rubbed his fingertips back and forth and found that around the Scarlet Dragon Horns, Quan Yi's skin had turned into uneven, scaly skin.

From the outside, Quan Yi's eye sockets were covered with glistening vermilion dragon Dragon Scale.

Moreover, the itching continued to spread deeper into the face.

These Dragon Scale, like exquisite eye masks, covered the upper part of the face.

Upon realizing this, Quan Yi immediately understood that the evolution of the Scarlet Dragon Horns seemed to be moving towards a deeper Dragon Transformation.

In its first evolution, the Scarlet Dragon Horns absorbed the ultimate Fire-attribute energy from the Quan Yi. Logically, even if it came to the spring a second time, it shouldn't have brought about such a huge change.

Could there be some unknown factor in this spring water affecting the Scarlet Dragon Horns?

A question arose in Quan Yi's mind. Time passed slowly, and the evolution of the Scarlet Dragon Horns continued until dawn.

At this moment, Quan Yi felt a sharp pain in his entire eye socket.

The pain initially remained only in the Eye Bone area, but gradually, it began to spread into the inside of the eyeball.

It felt like someone was constantly pricking his eye with needles inside his eyeball.

Faced with such pain, even Quan Yi couldn't help but close his eyes.

This pain lasted for two or three hours.

During this period, Quan Yi no longer had the extra energy to pay attention to the evolution of the Spirit Bone.

The evolution of the Spirit Bone lasted for more than four hours.

The Scarlet Dragon Horns finally stopped absorbing the energy of the spring water, and the pain in the Quan Yi eye also dissipated.

Suddenly, a pair of golden vertical pupils slowly opened, and the dazzling golden light pierced through the Dragon Scale mask covering the upper half of the face.
