Benefits Brought by the Mountain Dragon King
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan immediately tapped the little girl on the forehead in an annoyed tone. "Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating."
Nan Qiuqiu, standing to the side, exclaimed, "What kind of dragon is that? It looks like a huge mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan smiled and said, "You're absolutely right. It should be the Mountain Dragon King, one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings. Legend has it that they are all sons of the Dragon God."
Now Zhang Lexuan's curiosity was piqued. "Nine Great Dragon Kings? Sons of the Dragon God?"
She had heard rumors about the Dragon God before, and had even seen the Silver Dragon King at the Lake of Life, but this was the first time she had heard of the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
Zhou Huan nodded slightly and explained, "Yes, the Nine Great Dragon Kings. Besides the seven elemental holy dragon kings I mentioned before—water, fire, wind, earth, darkness, light, and space—there's also the Golden Sacred Dragon King who controls the metal element, and the Mountain Dragon King who controls the mountains and rivers. Legend has it that the Mountain Dragon King's strength is second only to the Golden Sacred Dragon King. Unfortunately, he still died here."
The little girl listened intently, looking at Zhou Huan with a puzzled expression. After he finished speaking, she asked, "Master Zhou, how do you know so much?"
Zhou Huan glanced at the little girl and said, "If you read more books and newspapers, eat fewer snacks, and sleep more, you can become knowledgeable about everything from astronomy to geography."
Upon hearing this, the little girl pouted but didn't refute it. However, her expression clearly showed disbelief. If she believed even half a word of what she said, she would truly have a small brain capacity.
Then, Zhou Huan stretched and said, "Alright, now watch my performance. After all, it's a dignified Mountain Dragon King; it's not appropriate to leave its corpse to rot in the wilderness like this. Let the kind-hearted me collect its body."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Floating Pagoda in Zhou Huan's hand flashed out and instantly arrived in front of the huge remains of the Mountain Dragon King, followed by a burst of white light.
The next second, the thousand-meter-long dragon skeleton, shrouded in white light, was directly sucked into the Floating Pagoda.
Before Xiao Xiao and the others could even be surprised, they sensed a sudden burst of intense Soul Power emanating from Zhou Huan. Fortunately, Zhou Huan managed to suppress it in time; otherwise, the terrifying aura alone would have sent everyone except Zhang Lexuan flying.
Zhou Huan immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and began to absorb this sudden surge of powerful energy, while the Floating Pagoda above his head spun and emitted white light.
It even has a touch of sanctity to it.
In fact, Zhou Huan was also dumbfounded the moment he absorbed the remains of the Mountain Dragon King in the Floating Pagoda.
Previously, when the Floating Pagoda absorbed the corpses of Soul Beast, it basically did not have any direct effect on him or increase his Soul Power. It was the Floating Pagoda itself that was upgrading and becoming stronger, evolving from a tangible but intangible Martial Soul into a tangible and substantial object, which was comparable to a divine artifact.
Of course, Zhou Huan didn't know just how powerful the artifact was, since he wasn't even a god yet. Even if he were given a divine artifact, he probably wouldn't be able to unleash much of its power.
Regardless, the Floating Pagoda had always been busy upgrading itself and didn't have any extra energy for Zhou Huan.
Today, the Floating Pagoda seems to have finally eaten its fill and remembered that it once had an owner.
Or perhaps, with Zhou Huan's current cultivation level, he cannot withstand the increased power of the Floating Pagoda, so he must first enhance the strength of its master before proceeding to the next step?
Zhou Huan was unaware of these questions, but now was not the time to investigate, as he needed to absorb the energy fed back from the Floating Pagoda first.
Meanwhile, just as Zhou Huan was meditating, Zhang Lexuan led the other five people to retreat twenty meters away. Clearly, she had noticed Zhou Huan's current state.
Only then did Xiao Xiao ask curiously, "Senior Disciple Sister, what's wrong with Master Zhou?"
Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment and simply replied, "It's nothing, I'm just about to break through."
Upon hearing Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao's already sparkling eyes widened even more. "Can Super Douluo level up this quickly? That's outrageous!"
Zhang Lexuan didn't explain further. She simply raised her hand and used her Soul Power to seal off Zhou Huan's surroundings to prevent any suddenly appearing Dragon Soul from disturbing him.
Ye Guyi frowned slightly, because she had just witnessed Zhou Huan break through to the next level after the White Pagoda absorbed the Mountain Dragon King's remains, so...
Thinking of this, Ye Guyi slapped her forehead hard in her mind, swatting away those unnecessary and absurd thoughts. No matter what, Zhou Huan could not be a bad person, nor would he be like those Evil Soul Masters. Otherwise, she, Ye Guyi, the owner of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, would have been dead and mutilated long ago, her grave overgrown with weeds.
And so, a day and a night passed as Zhang Lexuan and the other six waited.
Zhou Huan didn't open her eyes until the next morning.
It's a breakthrough!
Unexpectedly, he broke through to level 96 simply by absorbing the energy fed back from the Mountain Dragon King's remains through the Floating Pagoda.
It should be noted that in the months since entering Dragon Valley, Zhou Huan has absorbed a lot of water-attribute Dragon Soul and Dragon Cloud, but he has only barely managed to advance from the original level 95 (beginner) to the peak of the beginner level.
So, the Mountain Dragon King is really powerful.
However, Zhou Huan also knew that this was definitely not the full power of the Mountain Dragon King's remains, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as level ninety-six.
But Zhou Huan was already very satisfied, after all, it was an unexpected bonus.
Furthermore, the Floating Pagoda seems to have become even stronger; has it reached the level of a divine artifact?
A question couldn't help but pop into Zhou Huan's mind.
At this moment, seeing that Zhou Huan had finished his cultivation, Zhang Lexuan and the others came over.
Sensing the subtle change in Zhou Huan's aura, Zhang Lexuan asked, "You've broken through?"
Zhou Huan nodded. "Yes, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Upon hearing this, the little girl replied carelessly, "It hasn't been a long wait, just a day and a night. I'm starving."
Zhou Huan: "..." You little loli are almost level 70, so what if you don't eat for a whole day and night? Besides, the Dragon Cloud and Dragon Soul you absorbed are powerful energies. You could go without eating in Dragon Valley and it wouldn't be a problem. It's not like you've lost any of your Dragon Cloud and Dragon Soul.
However, Zhou Huan didn't dwell on that. Instead, he raised his hand and waved it, and a brown, shimmering object appeared before everyone. "How about it? Are you not hungry anymore now that you see this?"
"Is this... Soul Bone? Or Torso Soul Bone?"
Xiao Xiao and the others widened their eyes instantly; they didn't even need to sense it, just by looking at it, they knew it was something good.
Zhou Huan nodded and explained, "This is the Torso Soul Bone the Mountain Dragon King, one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings. There are only a handful of these on the entire Douluo Star; it's absolutely precious."
It's more than just precious!
In Xiao Xiao and the others' eyes, this could be described as a unique Soul Bone.
However, seeing the gleam in their eyes, Zhou Huan felt conflicted. There was only one piece of the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Soul Bone; it was only because his good brother Floating Pagoda was loyal that he hadn't kept it for himself. But who should he give it to?
He and Zhang Lexuan naturally didn't need it, because they already had Torso Soul Bone.
As for the other five, apart from Ye Guyi's Angel Martial Soul which might not be suitable for the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Soul Bone, Xiao Xiao and the others are all suitable.
Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron both offensive and defensive, and in terms of defense, it perfectly matches the Mountain Dragon King's powerful defense.
But the Mountain Dragon King isn't just strong in defense; its attack is also very powerful, especially since it's earth-attribute, which perfectly matches Wen Xiaoshuai's Earth Battle Bear Martial Soul.
As for Nan Qiuqiu and Wang Qingya, there's no need to elaborate.
One is a dragon Martial Soul, which is suitable no matter what; the other is a goddess, which, even if it's not suitable, can become suitable when it encounters Soul Bone that is only found once in ten thousand years.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan proposed the only solution he could think of at the moment, "Sister Lexuan and I don't need the Torso Soul Bone, but there's only one. How about you five play rock-paper-scissors to decide?"
Xiao Xiao, Wang Qingya, and the other four. "..."
Deciding by rock-paper-scissors? How did you even come up with that? Why don't you just say it's a game of counting soldiers, whoever's name is drawn is whoever gets the wins?
In the end, it was Wen Xiaoshuai, who was socially awkward, who spoke first, "Ladies first, I'll wait for the next one."
