At Sun Moon Royal Academy, sunlight streamed through the windows into the spacious, bright room. Jin Tianming was fully focused on engraving a core formation array. The carving knife in his hand moved like a nimble sprite, leaving behind intricate and mysterious marks on the material.
Just then, Jin Tianming suddenly sensed something strange, as though an invisible force were tugging at his attention.
He stopped what he was doing, frowned slightly, and gazed thoughtfully at the unfinished core formation array before him.
A moment later, Jin Tianming slowly closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the unfathomable Sea of Consciousness. When his awareness fully merged into it, he was shocked to discover that the Sea of Consciousness, once calm as a mirror, was now churning with enormous waves!
A silver dragon soul suddenly appeared in the center of the Sea of Consciousness. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, radiating a powerful aura that made one's heart tremble. Even more astonishingly, the silver dragon soul seemed to be frantically absorbing the endless stream of ice and fire energy pouring in around it. Like raging tides, that ice and fire energy surged toward the dragon soul at a terrifying speed.
As the ice and fire energy continued to pour in, the silver light around the dragon soul grew ever more dazzling, while its body gradually expanded. At the same time, the entire Sea of Consciousness was stirred by the powerful energy fluctuations, setting off wave after wave of violent turbulence.
"This luck!"
Seeing so much luck surge from the original body's Sea of Consciousness, Jin Tianming exclaimed, "There really is a lot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly extended his hand and began absorbing the luck, determined to prevent the original body's luck from overflowing excessively.
Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the dragon soul stood there, idly playing with Tang San's divine soul, which had become a blue crystal sphere. His gaze remained fixed on the little fellow at the bottom of the spring. Seeing that the luck within the little fellow was extremely stable and showed no signs of overflowing, he was somewhat surprised.
He turned his gaze toward Mo Yan beside him. "You two work together pretty well."
The little fellow's luck was in an extremely delicate state. It could resist the living-dead cells while also promoting the little fellow's growth to a certain extent.
"Now that it's just me here, won't you tell me why you chose him?" Mo Yan still looked somewhat unwilling to let it go as she stared at the dragon soul, who looked exactly like the original body.
The dragon soul stared deeply at Mo Yan's flawless, exquisite face and answered with a smile, "Sometimes curiosity kills the cat~"
"But it isn't anything major. I told you, it was just a move I made out of boredom. I wanted to see whether the person I invested in had the strength to turn the entire world."
"If it weren't for me, this little fellow would already be dead." The dragon soul met Mo Yan's gaze, which held none of its usual laziness. "You inherited not only his lazy personality, but also those memories. You should understand better than I do."
After hearing the dragon soul's words, Mo Yan seemed to grasp the meaning behind them. "I understand."
Indeed, she had been overly suspicious.
If he wanted to scheme against the original body, why would he waste so much time? She, Mo Yan, had simply been overthinking things.
Seeing that Mo Yan seemed to understand, the dragon soul continued, "To be honest, this little fellow is more cautious than anyone. When he entered the Star Dou Great Forest, he had already prepared himself for a near-certain death. I had originally intended to intervene, but in the end, I never expected him to win."
"This time, when he seized the opportunity and luck, he had also made a foolproof plan. I truly underestimated him."
"What do you mean?" Mo Yan immediately became interested upon hearing that.
The dragon soul seemed to sink into a sea of memories. Only after a long while did he come back to himself and sigh. "If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to entrust their luck to Dragon Slave. Yet he dared to do so. What incredible boldness! As for those selfish people, they would rather clutch their luck tightly to their chests. Even if they were completely exposed, luck would still protect the person who possessed it like a loyal guard."
That was the truth. Luck was inherently unpredictable. Whoever obtained luck also gained its protection. So long as they encountered nothing beyond what their luck could withstand, luck would protect that person.
He glanced at the little fellow beneath the lake water at his feet, a smile appearing on his face. "He truly sees all of you as his real family."
"Is that so?" Mo Yan's expression remained calm, but only she herself knew what she was thinking.
"Alright, enough idle chatter." The dragon soul turned and looked toward the immortal herbs, which were like weeds in his eyes. "I've already decided how to deal with these little fellows."
Mo Yan curiously turned around as well. She also wanted to see what the dragon soul planned to do.
The dragon soul crushed the blue crystal sphere in his hand, releasing Tang San's divine soul.
The moment Tang San's divine soul was released, he immediately roared furiously at the golden-eyed youth before him. "Brat, do you know who I am?"
"I am Sea God, Asura God Tang San! Aren't you afraid of heavenly punishment?"
"Finished?" The dragon soul sneered at Tang San's threat. "Then you can die now."
As soon as he spoke, a pressure Tang San had never felt before erupted from the youth's body. The words Sea God Tang San still wanted to say caught in his throat. He wanted to speak, yet his terror was so overwhelming that he could not make a sound.
Why was there someone in this world more powerful than him?!
Even the God of Destruction was only slightly stronger than him, and that was only because the God of Destruction was an old-established God King. But the golden-eyed youth before him was completely different.
Why?
But no one gave him an answer. Seeing the terror in Tang San's divine soul, the dragon soul mocked, "You possess immortality, yet you're like a frog at the bottom of a well, forever trapped in your own territory. How truly shortsighted."
"AAAAAH!"
Tang San's scream echoed throughout the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The hope that had just appeared in the immortal herbs' eyes instantly vanished into ashes. Their Lord Tang San was only this strong?
This weak? It was over. There was no saving them!
At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tian Mucheng and Xiao Xue clung tightly to each other as the opposing elements of ice and fire continuously washed over their bodies, Martial Souls, and spirits.
Tian Mucheng could feel his dragon soul constantly devouring the ice and fire energy, while luck continued gathering around him. Fortunately, he had informed Jin Tianming in advance.
Otherwise, once Douluo Star returned to the Divine Realm's sight, it would be extremely troublesome if those people discovered him.
He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Xue, who was tightly holding him. He had to admit, the dragon soul's loyalty and devotion were truly terrifying. Xiao Xue's Martial Soul was undergoing a transformation.
Xiao Xue's original Martial Soul was evolving toward an Ice Dragon Martial Soul. She really was impressive!
I'll give her a hand myself! Tian Mucheng made his decision. A dragon soul appeared in his hand, carrying half of the luck as it entered Xiao Xue's body.
Xiao Xue, don't disappoint me.
