Faced with his senior sister Hu Liena, who had come to congratulate him along with Xie Yue and Yan, Gu Han could clearly sense that Hu Liena and Xie Yue were sincerely congratulating him and were genuinely happy that his Martial Soul had successfully evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon.

Although Yan also laughed heartily and offered his congratulations, Gu Han could always sense a faint, barely perceptible hostility from him.

Gu Han understood very well why that was.

It was undoubtedly because this simp of his senior sister felt threatened by how close she was to him, and thus developed hostility toward him.

Gu Han was somewhat speechless.

Because he knew very well that his senior sister Hu Liena did not like Yan at all.

Given Hu Liena's personality, she had certainly rejected Yan's pursuit outright.

That was obvious from the fact that she only allowed Yan to call her Hu Liena and would not permit him to call her Nana.

Yet Yan simply refused to give up.

He even regarded every male around Hu Liena, aside from Xie Yue, as an enemy.

Gu Han could only shake his head inwardly, feeling quite helpless and genuinely unable to understand.

Since it was already doomed to have no outcome, why persist so stubbornly?

Because Gu Han's Martial Soul had successfully evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon, Hu Liena once again took Gu Han, Xie Yue, and Yan to an upscale restaurant in Spirit City to celebrate.

However, that afternoon, because Gu Han needed to prepare for hunting his soul ring the next day, he did not stay with Hu Liena and the other two. Instead, he returned home alone.

He planned to carefully consider what kind of soul beast would be most suitable for his Third Soul Ring.

Several days later.

Once the time had been arranged, Bibi Dong called Gu Han over along with Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei. They left Spirit City and headed toward the vast Soul Hunting Forest behind the city.

A Soul Master's Third Soul Ring was usually a thousand-year soul ring.

There might not have been many varieties or large numbers of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest behind Spirit City.

But as Spirit Hall had existed for several thousand years and had carefully managed the forest generation after generation, there were still quite a few thousand-year soul beasts there, both in terms of variety and number.

Spirit Hall had even drawn specialized maps of the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, recording the habitats of soul beasts of various ages and different soul beast clans.

Generally speaking, Soul Masters in Spirit City would come to this Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul rings before reaching the Soul King rank.

"Xiao Han, have you decided what soul beast you want to hunt for your Third Soul Ring?"

On the way to the Soul Hunting Forest, Bibi Dong held the Pope's Scepter as she sped through the air. Turning her beautiful, noble face toward Gu Han, she asked.

"I have!"

Gu Han nodded firmly and said.

"For my Third Soul Skill, I plan to choose one that can enhance my physical attributes. That will maximize the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul's advantage in strength."

"As for the soul beast, any Dragon Soul Beast over four thousand years old that excels in strength and possesses a powerful body will do."

Having read the Douluo Continent novels, Gu Han knew very well that in the later stages, earlier soul skills were basically useless unless they were skills that enhanced the body. Skills like Sacred Light Roar Bomb, for instance, would be completely obsolete.

Still, Gu Han felt there was nothing wrong with choosing Sacred Light Roar Bomb as his first soul skill.

That was because the Sacred Dragon was not an ordinary Beast Martial Soul that could only undergo Martial Soul Possession.

Since the Sacred Dragon was a Beast Martial Soul with a tangible body, although it was still small now, Gu Han had discovered through the system's analysis that feeding it the flesh and blood of powerful Dragon Soul Beasts and Spirit Medicine could continuously increase its size.

In the future, Gu Han could completely become a Dragon Knight, wielding the Golden Dragon Spear and riding the Golden Sacred Dragon through the skies as he fought alongside the Martial Soul: Sacred Dragon.

At that time, Gu Han felt that Sacred Light Roar Bomb would still be quite useful.

"Xiao Han, do we no longer need to choose Dragon Soul Beasts with the Light Attribute this time?"

Hearing Gu Han say that he only needed a Dragon Soul Beast over four thousand years old that excelled in strength and possessed a powerful body, Bibi Dong could not help furrowing her delicate brows as she asked.

"Teacher, there's no need anymore."

Gu Han shook his head and explained with a smile.

"When hunting soul rings before, I only wanted Dragon Soul Beasts with the Light Attribute and relatively pure dragon blood."

"That was because the Sacred Dragon had yet to evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon. Since the Golden Sacred Dragon was a pure-blooded dragon clan with the Light Attribute, it was better to absorb the soul rings of Dragon Soul Beasts with the Light Attribute and relatively pure dragon blood."

"But now that the Sacred Dragon has successfully evolved into the Light Sacred Dragon, there is no longer any need to do that."

"Then after evolving into the Golden Sacred Dragon, can the Sacred Dragon continue evolving by consuming the flesh and blood of Dragon Soul Beasts and Spirit Medicine?"

Still somewhat unwilling to accept it, Bibi Dong continued asking.

"I'm not too sure about that either."

Gu Han scratched his head, looking as though he had not figured it out yet.

But inwardly, Gu Han actually knew that after evolving into the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, the Sacred Dragon could continue evolving.

In truth, after the Sacred Dragon evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, Upon returning home, Gu Han used the Heavenly Transformation System to analyze the Sacred Dragon once more.

According to the Heavenly Transformation System's analysis, if the previous Sacred Dragon Martial Soul had possessed a powerful Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline that made up a certain proportion of its mixed bloodlines, then by feeding it the flesh and blood of Light Attribute Dragon Soul Beasts and Spirit Medicine, he could strengthen the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline within the Sacred Dragon, allowing it to gradually devour the other bloodlines and ultimately evolve.

Now, however, after evolving into the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline within the Sacred Dragon, as revealed by the Heavenly Transformation System's analysis, also contained an even more powerful bloodline—the Golden Dragon Bloodline.

Golden Dragons were powerful Dragon Soul Beasts with the ultimate Power Attribute.

As long as he continued feeding the Sacred Dragon the flesh and blood of Power Attribute Dragon Soul Beasts and Spirit Medicine, persevered until it reached a certain point, and then used a top-tier Immortal Herb for the final breakthrough, the Golden Sacred Dragon could evolve into a Golden Dragon.

Element Attributes were easy enough to identify.

But when it came to the Power Attribute, Gu Han found it difficult to distinguish.

In the current Douluo Continent, the Soul Master theory community had no idea that an attribute like the Power Attribute even existed.

If Gu Han wanted to find Power Attribute Dragon Soul Beasts, he could only search for Dragon Soul Beasts himself in the Soul Beast Forest, then use the Heavenly Transformation System to analyze and identify them.

That was far too troublesome!

It would be better to use the Heavenly Transformation System's Optimization Function to remove the impure bloodlines within the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline of the Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, leaving only the Golden Dragon Bloodline, then make up for its flaws and optimize it.

Gu Han had asked the system about this as well.

As long as he used three Heavenly Points, he could make the Sacred Dragon evolve once more, transforming its bloodline into that of a Golden Dragon while retaining its Light Attribute.

That was undoubtedly perfect.

But having to spend three Heavenly Points at once still made Gu Han somewhat reluctant.

After all, he only had four Heavenly Points in hand right now.

However, since he was currently in Spirit City, Gu Han did not need to think about this for the time being.

To be honest, many of Douluo Continent's settings conflicted with one another.

For example, strictly speaking, among Golden Dragons, only the Golden Dragon King counted as one, while Wang Qiu'er possessed the Golden Dragon Bloodline.

But the problem was, if the Golden Dragon King—split from the Dragon God—was the only Golden Dragon, then Wang Qiu'er could not possibly possess the Golden Dragon Bloodline.

And if Golden Dragons existed in Douluo Continent, then Wang Qiu'er could not possibly be the only one with the Golden Dragon Bloodline.

As for whether the Golden Sacred Dragon actually possessed the Golden Dragon Bloodline, the original work never said.

For the sake of the plot, it was set to have it here.
