Martial Soul Evolves Again, Complete Body Candle Dragon

Na'er liked watching Chen Fan do anything for her.

Whether he was preparing food for her or refining medicine for her now.

The feeling of being cherished so deeply by him made her feel incredibly safe and content.

An hour later.

As the last medicinal herb was refined into a dark green medicinal liquid, Chen Fan finally stopped.

He carefully poured the processed essences of more than ten herbs into a white jade bowl in a specific order.

He released a trace of Soul Power and gently stirred it.

The liquid in the bowl quickly blended together, eventually turning into a lump of jade-like ointment that was warm, translucent, and clear. A refreshing, exotic fragrance instantly filled the room.

"Done."

Chen Fan let out a long breath. Fine beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

Refining medicine with Soul Power was no small burden on his current Spiritual Power and Soul Power.

"Chen Fan, you worked hard."

At some point, Na'er had come to stand beside him. She raised her slender jade-like fingers and gently wiped the sweat from his brow.

Chen Fan smiled and pulled her hand, bringing her to sit by the bed.

"Hold out your hand."

Na'er obediently extended her fair, jade-like wrist.

Chen Fan used his fingertip to pick up a little of the emerald green ointment and gently applied it to the inside of her wrist.

The moment the ointment touched her skin, a cool and soothing sensation spread throughout Na'er's body, making her narrow her eyes in comfort.

Her previously pale skin gradually turned rosy under the nourishment of the ointment, gaining a healthy glow at a visible rate.

She could clearly feel a gentle energy flowing through her meridians, dispelling the faint gloom and discomfort hidden within her body.

"How does it feel?" Chen Fan asked.

"Very comfortable..."

Na'er answered softly. She clasped the hand Chen Fan had used to apply the medicine, pressed her cheek against the back of his hand, and gently rubbed against it.

"Chen Fan's hand is so warm."

Her voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of dependence and longing.

"From now on, these hands can only refine medicine for me alone, okay?"

The maiden raised her head, her purple eyes fixed unblinkingly on him.

Chen Fan's heart softened. His thumb gently caressed her smooth cheek.

"Okay."

He agreed softly.

"Only for you."

Having received the answer she wanted, Na'er's face blossomed with a sweet smile. She leaned forward and lightly planted a kiss on Chen Fan's cheek.

Warm and soft.

"Consider it sealed."

The maiden said with smiling eyes.

"Now, you carry my scent too."

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Advanced Training Ground.

The years passed in silence, and time flowed on.

Two years had quietly passed.

During those two years, Heaven Dou City remained peaceful, but Chen Fan's life had never slowed.

There had been no good news from Dugu Yan.

Her grandfather, Dugu Bo, who bore the title of Poison, seemed to have vanished from the world.

To suppress the venom within him that was constantly backfiring, this Titled Douluo spent all year roaming the most dangerous depths of Sunset Forest. His whereabouts were unpredictable, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

The people Dugu Yan sent out had entered the Outer Area of the forest several times, only to find traces of a few camps where he had once stayed, long since gone cold.

They never saw the man himself.

Chen Fan was not anxious about it.

Over those two years, he had not wasted a single moment.

The system's reward, Spirit Power Detoxification Knowledge, was as vast as an ocean. He immersed himself in it and studied without pause.

He researched those Ancient Herbal Formulas that could nourish one's Life Source.

Rare Medicinal Materials were delivered to his residence in an endless stream.

Under Chen Fan's meticulous daily care, Na'er's condition gradually improved as well.

The frequent bouts of Soul Power instability and sudden physical weakness that had once plagued her had both greatly diminished.

Though her Life Source had not fully recovered, it had at least stabilized.

Chen Fan no longer had to remain constantly on edge, fearing for her safety.

His own strength was also rising rapidly.

Tending to Na'er's body was itself an ultimate form of training in the precise control of Soul Power.

Combined with his occasional sparring matches with Xue Qinghe and the academy's intense Actual Combat training, his Soul Power steadily increased.

Level thirty-nine.

Only one final threshold remained before he reached the Soul Ancestor realm.

As his Soul Power rose, his Candle Dragon Shadow Martial Soul became increasingly solid, and the power of his Soul Skills rose in turn.

The incomplete Domain Power, Silver Candle Domain, could now barely be maintained for about five breaths.

It was no longer as embarrassing as before, when it could only last one or two seconds.

The system's task refresh rate had slowed. It was no longer like when he had been beside Ning Rongrong, when completing one task immediately refreshed another.

Now, a new one appeared only once every three to five days on average.

But when he was with Na'er, he basically always exceeded the requirements.

He effortlessly accumulated an enormous number of rewards.

Every time he chose, he unhesitatingly selected knowledge related to detoxification and medicinal herbs.

By now, his understanding of poisons and medicine had likely already surpassed that of this entire era.

Detoxifying Dugu Bo?

He was absolutely confident.

Even if it were a rarer and more terrifying strange poison, he was confident he could neutralize it.

He was so persistent for only one reason.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

That was the ultimate goal of his deal with Dugu Bo, the bargaining chip he had to hold firmly in his hand.

This knowledge was not limited to detoxification.

It also included the refinement and catalysis of Immortal Herbs and divine plants.

He now had the ability to further refine and elevate the medicinal effects of those heavenly treasures within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He was even confident that in the future, by combining different Immortal Herbs, he could refine the legendary pills.

They would not only make up for the loss Na'er had suffered when she sacrificed her blood essence for him.

They could also help her completely restore the supreme origin that belonged to the Silver Dragon King!

Of course, that special pill formula still required him to wait for future system tasks.

But hope was already in sight.

Over those two years, his greatest transformation had come from his Martial Soul.

With the several "minor evolution" opportunities that came with system tasks, his Candle Dragon Shadow Martial Soul finally completed its final transformation.

Candle Dragon Shadow had evolved into a true—Candle Dragon!

It was no longer a phantom existing solely on the spiritual level, but could manifest in a tangible form.

The Dragon might originating from deep within his bloodline was several times stronger than before.

At the same time, his Soul Rings had also been optimized.

His First Soul Ring had risen to twenty thousand years.

His Third Soul Ring had risen to thirty thousand years.

The system forcibly gave their origins the most reasonable explanation—Candle Dragon Remnant Body.

There had never been a Soul Beast known as the Candle Dragon in this world, but under the system's immense power, it now existed.

It was worth mentioning that the Soul Beast Chen Fan had hunted for his Third Soul Ring years ago had originally possessed seven thousand years of cultivation. It was called the Dual Extreme Ice Flame Beast and could simultaneously control both fire and frost.

After the optimization, his control over the Power of Cold and Heat reached an entirely new level.
