Silver Dragon King!

He instinctively summoned the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram and looked at the three Immortal Swords floating above it—Slaying Immortal, Killing Immortal Sword, and Immortal Trapping Sword. The flowing light along their blades remained razor-sharp.

"The first four soul skills can only be used to summon Immortal Swords. Once they're summoned, they can't be used again..."

He gripped the Slaying Immortal Sword, feeling the weighty power emanating from its blade.

The system said this was less than one-tenth of the original's power. Even so, it was already this strong.

He looked again at the empty spot above the array diagram—the place meant for the final Immortal Slaying Sword. Perhaps only after gathering all four swords would the array's true power be revealed.

"Below Titled Douluo, no one within a twenty-level gap can defeat me..."

Su Yu tightened his grip on the hilt, his gaze gradually sharpening.

Although he had lost the versatility of soul skills, the overwhelming might of the Immortal Swords and the system's assurance gave him confidence once more.

"So be it. I chose this path myself. My Martial Soul is special, so naturally my cultivation method must be different as well."

He put away the array diagram and took a deep breath.

Since he could not rely on soul skills, then he would train his swordsmanship to the limit.

When he had practiced swordsmanship that morning, he had felt the sense of obstruction when wielding a sword disappear. It was as if the sword had become an extension of his hand.

Perhaps he could try creating a Self-Created Soul Skill!

Since he had no soul skills anyway, and aside from cultivation all he did was practice swordsmanship, he might as well create a set of soul skills himself.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, beneath the emerald waves of the Lake of Life, lay a Secret Realm beyond the reach of ordinary people.

At the center of the Secret Realm, a Silver Dragon several thousand meters long lay quietly upon a Crystal Jade Bed.

Her silvery-white scales seemed cast from moonlight, flowing with a soft yet desolate gleam.

There was not a single wound on her body, yet the aura leaking from her was as weak as a dying candle in the wind. Even the surrounding elements carried a sluggish heaviness.

The moment she sensed that fleeting trace of Dragon Clan aura, the Silver Dragon's tightly shut eyes abruptly opened.

Those eyes were vaster than the deepest starry sky, yet faint ripples now stirred within them.

Her enormous body shifted almost imperceptibly, and her dragon whiskers lightly brushed the jade bed, scattering tiny ice crystals.

The Silver Dragon gazed into the void, a trace of shock and uncertainty lingering in her eyes.

Though that mysterious Dragon Clan aura had vanished in an instant, it carried a pressure powerful enough to make even her tremble.

She murmured softly, "What kind of Dragon Clan is this? Even my bloodline is not one-tenth as strong as its..."

Before her words had faded, she raised a massive claw covered in fine silver scales and lightly swiped.

The space before her split open as though cut by a sharp blade, tearing into a crack that glimmered with violet light.

Violent spatial energy churned along the edges of the crack, yet it was firmly restrained by her aura and did not dare cross the boundary by even the slightest bit.

"Zi Ji!"

The Silver Dragon's voice pierced through the spatial rift, carrying unquestionable majesty.

On the other side of the rift, a violet figure appeared—a gigantic dragon covered entirely in amethyst-like scales.

Its dragon horns were sharp, its eyes bright and lively. It was Zi Ji, one of the Fierce Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Master!"

Zi Ji respectfully lowered her head, her voice carrying the deep resonance unique to the Dragon Clan.

"Why has Master summoned this subordinate?"

The Silver Dragon peeled a silvery-white Dragon Scale from her lower abdomen. A faint halo of light flowed across it.

"You are to leave for the human world immediately."

She held the Dragon Scale out to Zi Ji. "A powerful Dragon Clan being has been born in the human world."

Zi Ji accepted the Dragon Scale. It felt icy cold to the touch, and the aura on it made her heart tighten.

"Master, how could a powerful Dragon Clan being be born in the human world?"

"It should be a Martial Soul. A human has awakened a powerful Dragon Clan Martial Soul." The Silver Dragon's voice deepened slightly.

"Keep this Dragon Scale safe. Once you come within a hundred li of that aura, it will glow as a warning."

"You must find him and bring him back to the Star Dou Great Forest. Remember, do not harm him. If you encounter any obstruction, you may use this scale to mobilize a trace of the power I left in the outside world."

"This subordinate obeys!"

Zi Ji clenched the Dragon Scale and solemnly nodded.

The Silver Dragon waved her massive claw, and the spatial rift slowly closed.

Zi Ji turned around, her enormous body transforming into a Purple Rainbow. She burst through the surface of the Lake of Life and sped toward the human world.

The Silver Dragon watched the direction in which the rift had vanished, her gaze deep and unreadable.

Elsewhere, after obtaining his Second Martial Soul, Su Yu returned to Ning Rongrong's room.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong was sleeping soundly, Su Yu did not wake her.

There was still some time before afternoon cultivation, so Su Yu used the opportunity to study his Immortal Slaying Array Diagram Martial Soul.

With a flick of his hand, Su Yu summoned the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram along with the three swords—Slaying Immortal, Killing Immortal Sword, and Immortal Trapping Sword—into his palm.

Su Yu guided his spiritual power toward the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram, and a cultivation method entered his mind.

Upper Clarity Immortal Method

Su Yu immediately became excited.

If this really was the Upper Clarity Immortal Method, then wouldn't he be soaring to the heavens!

After all, the cultivation method practiced by Upper Clarity Tongtian was one of the top cultivation methods of the Primordial Era.

If something like this were placed in the Douluo Continent, it would be completely overpowered. Su Yu hurriedly began examining this Immortal Method in his mind.

After about an hour, Su Yu had only read one-tenth of the Upper Clarity Immortal Method.

Yet even that one-tenth left Su Yu feeling that it was incredibly profound and difficult to understand.

He kept feeling that this Upper Clarity Immortal Method seemed incomplete, as though it were a watered-down version!

But even if it was watered down, it was still the finest cultivation method on the Douluo Continent.

Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill could not even compare.

Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately began cultivating the Upper Clarity Immortal Method.

Another hour later—

Su Yu ended his cultivation.

At first glance, the Upper Clarity Immortal Method had increased his cultivation speed by at least five times.

That was while he was still unfamiliar with it. He felt that once he became proficient, it could increase his speed by more than eight times.

Just then, a soft, sweet voice suddenly sounded beside Su Yu's ear, still muddled with sleepiness.

He turned and saw Ning Rongrong leaning over the bedside, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Her little face was rosy, one fair hand stretched toward him, while a misty layer of moisture still lingered in her eyes.

"You're awake?"

Su Yu's heart softened. He bent down and gently lifted the Young Girl into his arms.

Ning Rongrong immediately curled up against him like a little kitten that had found warmth, rubbing her head against his chest as she mumbled indistinctly.

"Older brother, my hand doesn't hurt anymore..."

Su Yu lowered his head and looked at her wrist. The swelling had faded, leaving behind only a faint pink mark.

He sighed in relief and lightly scraped her little nose with his fingertip.

"Did you sleep enough? Do you want something else to eat?"

"Yes!" Ning Rongrong immediately raised her head, her eyes sparkling.

"I want Osmanthus Cake, and sweet congee too!"

"Alright, I'll have someone warm them up again."

Su Yu carried her over and sat down at the table.

The Young Girl obediently sat on his lap, clutching his sleeve with her little hand as she curiously examined him.

"Brother Su Yu, what were you thinking about just now? You looked so serious."
