Physical Body Against a Two-thousand-year Soul Beast! Ancestor-Returning Dragon Colt Appears

The next instant.

The black shadow that had shot toward them finally revealed its true form.

It was also a Dawnlight Qilin Colt!

But its entire body was pitch-black, its scales thicker and more solid than those of its kind. Rudimentary Dragon Horns had even grown from its head, while its pair of golden Vertical Pupils brimmed with brutality and madness.

Its aura was far more powerful than that of the Fourteen Hundred Years Qilin Colt!

This was a mutated beast with a Bloodline Ancestor Return! Its degree of Dragon Transformation far surpassed that of its parents!

In that split second, Yu Xiaoheng's thoughts raced.

The intelligence was wrong.

Although he had crossed over and planned every step carefully, he had previously been nothing more than an overlooked Young Master. The merchant convoy force he had built himself was limited, and the intelligence he could gather was ultimately incomplete.

He had only discovered that a Small Tribe of Dawnlight Qilin Colts lived here. He had no idea that the tribe was hiding an older cub with a mutated bloodline that had already begun living independently!

Whether in Dragon Attribute or Light Attribute, this cub far surpassed the former!

Yu Yuanzhen stopped.

He had absolute faith in his Eldest Son's judgment.

Besides, with the strength of a Title Douluo, even if that beast reached his son's side, he was completely certain he could erase it in an instant.

But the others did not know that.

"Young Master!"

"Retreat!"

The Elders were horrified, while the Disciples descended into chaos, terrified that the newly established Young Sect Master might suffer any mishap.

Liu Erlong's heart instantly leaped into her throat. Her pretty face went pale as she instinctively prepared to rush forward.

Deep within the dense forest.

Two breathtaking figures stood quietly. They were Ah Yin and Rou'er, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in human form.

"Rou'er, has this child... gone mad?" Ah Yin's voice trembled slightly.

Rou'er's beautiful eyes widened as well.

"He doesn't even have a Soul Ring. He can't even be considered a real Soul Master! Facing a dragon-type Soul Beast over two thousand years old with such a powerful bloodline—if that isn't courting death, what is?"

They saw it clearly. In their eyes, the young man's choice was no different from suicide.

Yet before their astonished words had even faded.

Yu Xiaoheng moved.

"Roar—!"

A resounding Dragon Roar came not from the Spirit Beast, but from within Yu Xiaoheng's body!

Brilliant Golden Light surged into the sky from behind him. A sacred and majestic Golden Sacred Dragon Phantom manifested in an instant, its Dragon Might spreading outward and freezing even the surrounding air!

Immediately afterward, silver-blue Thunder Patterns spread and flickered rapidly across the skin of his body like living creatures.

Crackle!

Facing the Sharp Claws that carried a foul wind straight at him, Yu Xiaoheng advanced rather than retreated. His right fist clenched, wrapped in overwhelming Thunder Force, and blasted forward!

Boom—!

Fist and claw collided with a dull, thunderous boom.

Violent shockwaves exploded outward from the two of them, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

Yu Xiaoheng was sent flying several meters, but the moment he landed, he rolled and rose steadily to his feet. Aside from his torn sleeve, he was completely unharmed.

On the other side, the fierce Dawnlight Qilin Colt was likewise forced several steps back by the tremendous force. Silver-blue arcs of electricity crackled across its black foreclaws, making it let out a pained whinny.

After one clash, they were evenly matched!

This sight abruptly silenced the Entire Venue.

Everyone was Stunned.

This... how was it possible?

The Young Master did not even have his First Soul Ring yet!

They did not know that Yu Xiaoheng's confidence came from the Fourth Realm of Lightning Pool Body Tempering—Dragon Body Perfection!

Such a Body Refinement achievement was something ordinary Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Disciples could only possibly attain upon reaching the Soul Ancestor or Soul King realm at Levels Forty or Fifty! Yet Yu Xiaoheng possessed an enhanced version—Sacred Dragon Body Perfection!

Though that did not mean his physique could directly contend with a Soul King, the strength of his Physical Body had already reached a terrifying level.

Without using Spirit Skills, ordinary Level Thirty Soul Elders were simply no match for him!

What was more, his Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was innately marked with Lightning Patterns. It had refined the power of thirty-six Jade Marrow Thunder Stones, allowing him to wield this destructive force even without Soul Rings!

After a brief Deathly Stillness.

"Young Master is mighty!"

No one knew who shouted first, but immediately afterward, Mountain Calls and Sea Roars of cheers erupted, resounding through the heavens!

"Young Master is mighty!"

"Sect is victorious for ten thousand years!"

The way the Disciples looked at Yu Xiaoheng changed completely. Their earlier reverence transformed into fervent worship!

The fury in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes quietly faded, replaced by deep satisfaction and pride.

He stroked his beard, the Corner of the Mouth lifting unconsciously.

Good!

What an excellent Yu Xiaoheng!

This move had not only displayed combat ability far beyond his peers, but had also established, through absolute dominance, a position within the clan that no one could ever shake again!

"This... this guy..."

Rou'er stood dumbfounded, unable to speak.

Ah Yin's delicate body trembled as she muttered, "A young man without Soul Rings, relying solely on his Physical Body and the power inherent in his Martial Soul to withstand a two-thousand-year Soul Beast head-on... Is... is he even human?"

They were completely Stunned, feeling that this young man called the "Young Master" was simply absurdly fierce.

There was no more suspense in what followed.

Several Elders attacked at once. The bloodline-returned Dawnlight Qilin Colt had no chance to resist before overwhelming Soul Power crushed it to the ground.

An Elder immediately stepped forward and shouted joyfully:

"Congratulations, Young Master! Congratulations!"

"This beast's bloodline is even stronger than the former's! It possesses an even more powerful Dragon Bloodline and is a perfect match for your Sacred Dragon Martial Soul! Keep it captive and save it for your Second Soul Ring when the Young Master breaks through Level Twenty!"

At those words, everyone rejoiced.

Only one person wore an expression so dark it seemed ready to drip water.

Yu Xiaogang held Luoluo in his arms, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

The flames of jealousy burned wildly within his heart.

He knew very well that whether it was the Fourteen Hundred Years one or this two-thousand-plus-year one, both Contained Dragon Bloodlines. If Luoluo could absorb them, it would certainly evolve toward becoming a true dragon!

But now, both Spirit Beasts had become Yu Xiaoheng's possessions.

He did not even have the slightest chance.

Why... why did all the benefits belong to him!

At that moment, someone finally reacted. He immediately bowed and presented a Jade Dagger with both hands, speaking respectfully:

"Please, Young Master, slay this beast and absorb your First Soul Ring!"

Everyone's eyes focused on Yu Xiaoheng, filled with eager anticipation.

Yu Xiaoheng accepted the dagger.

In the forest, Ah Yin and Rou'er's hearts rose again.

Although they knew hunting Soul Beasts was an unavoidable path for Soul Masters and felt some pity, they were even more astonished at this moment.

"He dares absorb a Fourteen Hundred Years Soul Ring as his First Soul Ring... Has he really gone mad?" Rou'er asked softly.

Ah Yin shook her head, her expression complicated.

"No... perhaps he has not gone mad. If... if he truly succeeds in absorbing it, then the terrifying fortune of this Young Master may be unparalleled in the entire history of Douluo Continent."
