Once the Well Runs Dry, It's Time to Leave

Bloodline extraction sounded sophisticated, but for Wang Qi, whose Martial Soul was a Medicine Refining Furnace, it was not difficult.

With the examples of Xiao Chenyu and Dai Mubai before him, Wang Qi had gained a deeper understanding of bloodlines.

There were two relatively concentrated bloodlines within Tang San: the Blue Silver Emperor (unawakened) and the Clear Sky Hammer.

The next was the bloodline acquired after absorbing the Datura Snake soul ring. What Wang Qi needed to do next was extract the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline while helping the Blue Silver Grass bloodline merge with the Datura Snake bloodline.

This would make Tang San lose his chance to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor completely, and the fused Blue Silver Grass and Datura Snake bloodline would never again be capable of reaching the level of the Blue Silver Emperor.

What Wang Qi had not expected, however, was that the concentration of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Tang San was actually higher than that of the Clear Sky Hammer. Of course, this did not mean the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was stronger than the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

As a direct second-generation blood relative of the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San naturally possessed a denser Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. At that moment, Wang Qi suddenly recalled a post he had read online in his previous life.

Tang San did not possess Innate Full Soul Power. The reason he had shown the aptitude for Innate Full Soul Power during the test was because of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

And according to the settings of Douluo, Martial Soul strength was directly proportional to aptitude. The Mysterious Heaven Skill could improve Tang San's cultivation aptitude, but it could not improve the quality of his Martial Soul.

This also meant that Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was not as powerful as imagined.

Thinking this, Wang Qi became even more determined to help Tang San complete the fusion of the Datura Snake and Blue Silver Grass bloodlines. As for crippling Tang San directly? He could think about it, but Wang Qi believed that if he dared hurt Tang San today, next year's anniversary would be Wang Qi's first birthday.

Tang Hao was not someone willing to reason with others. Having schemed his way this far, Wang Qi had no intention of giving up.

As the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline was extracted, various medicines assisted Tang San in replenishing his blood. Drop by drop, Blue Silver Emperor essence blood, like Blue Gems and brimming with boundless vitality, was stored within a Medicine Refining Furnace Martial Soul, waiting to be absorbed at the right time.

At the same time, while Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline was weakened, Wang Qi took out the Blue Silver Grass bloodline essence he had prepared beforehand and fused it with the Datura Snake bloodline.

After repeated extraction and fusion, Tang San's Martial Soul underwent a transformation, and even his appearance changed dramatically.

His formerly unremarkable features, the kind that would disappear into a crowd, began to sharpen. His slightly dark skin gradually turned fair, while his hair slowly changed as well. His short dark-blue hair transformed toward dark purple.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had now completely shed its original Blue Silver Grass form, becoming instead a purple-tinged vine plant resembling a Datura Snake. Its sharpness, toughness, resilience, and even flexibility improved immensely. Although Tang San felt that his Soul Power had become unstable, Wang Qi's coaxing and Yu Xiaogang's brainwashing convinced him that this was normal.

Thus, Tang San temporarily did not take it to heart. While Wang Qi refined his bloodline, he sat cross-legged in a medicinal bath barrel and cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, stabilizing his unstable Soul Power.

The days that followed became much more peaceful. Tang San came to Wang Qi's secret chamber each evening to have his bloodline refined, while during the day, Wang Qi used the Medicine Refining Furnace to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. As he gained enormous benefits, Wang Qi's Soul Power steadily rose as well.

Half a year passed in a flash. The Medicine Refining Furnace Martial Soul underwent another transformation, and after Wang Qi's Soul Power Level broke through to level thirty, becoming a prospective Soul Elder, Yu Xiaogang's Attribute Panel changed once more.

The entries for one hundred percent Martial Soul Evolution and breaking the shackles of talent remained unchanged, but the extraction rate for the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline rose from seventy percent to ninety percent.

Using the same method and the same procedure, Wang Qi also completed Yu Xiaogang's bloodline extraction.

Yet what Wang Qi had not expected was that the benefits he gained from Yu Xiaogang were actually greater than those he had gained from Tang San, the protagonist from another world.

Yu Xiaogang's bloodline was extraordinary. The reason he had been unable to break through level twenty-nine Soul Power was mainly because his talent was insufficient and his will was not firm enough.

Wang Qi discovered three highly concentrated bloodlines within Yu Xiaogang. First, the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline.

Second, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline.

Third, a mutant bloodline whose effect allowed it to perfectly adapt to both the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Golden Sacred Dragon bloodlines before ultimately merging with them.

Wang Qi guessed that the unusual nature of Luo Sanpao's Martial Soul was closely related to this third mutant bloodline.

Thus, Wang Qi did not spare any of the three bloodlines. As for whether Yu Xiaogang would notice? Wang Qi brushed him off with, "Do you understand this better, or do I?" Then he specifically began extracting and fusing the bloodlines from the two soul rings Yu Xiaogang had absorbed.

One belonged to a high-level soul beast. Wang Qi initially had no idea what kind of soul beast it was, but when Yu Xiaogang used Martial Soul Possession and his butt suddenly grew enormous, Wang Qi vaguely began to suspect.

He had originally worried Yu Xiaogang would become furious, but when Yu Xiaogang noticed that the amount of gas released by his first soul skill had increased, he nearly knelt before Wang Qi in gratitude. Wang Qi knew then that his worries had been unnecessary.

Day after day passed. After studying Yu Xiaogang's Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline, and mutant bloodline, Wang Qi unexpectedly found himself viewing the Douluo World from a strange angle.

Suppose, suppose Tang San had never transmigrated. Suppose Yu Xiaogang were not so vain and cowardly. Suppose Yu Xiaogang possessed a firm character. Would another story have unfolded?

The original child of fortune on Douluo Continent was Qian Renxue, a being with the highest-tier talent and someone destined to become a god.

And Yu Xiaogang possessed extensive theoretical knowledge. Give him a strong heart and perseverance.

The son of a Super Douluo, the former girlfriend with the greatest talent on the continent before Qian Renxue, and a peerless bloodline—apart from slightly poorer aptitude, he had almost no flaws.

Suppose Dugu Bo found Yu Xiaogang and cured the poison within Dugu Yan. Suppose Yu Xiaogang obtained the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, resolving the flaws in his aptitude. Once the potential of his Martial Soul was fully unleashed, just how terrifying would Yu Xiaogang's aptitude become?

When Spirit Hall unified the continent, Yu Xiaogang, as the young clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, could rise up in resistance. With Qian Renxue's mother, Bibi Dong, acting as an insider, there was plenty to work with.

It could be said that if Yu Xiaogang had taken this path, he would have become the best opponent for Qian Renxue, the child of fortune.

As for whether the final ending would be happy for all or something else, Yu Xiaogang would have left a vivid mark upon the history of Douluo Continent.

Thinking of this, Wang Qi looked at Yu Xiaogang's ordinary—no, somewhat ugly—face, and a trace of jealousy unexpectedly rose within him.

But he quickly let it go. Yu Xiaogang had ultimately not walked the path of strength that belonged to him, and the path that had originally belonged to Yu Xiaogang had been taken by Wang Qi.

At present, aside from Xiao Wu, there was nothing left in Nuoding City worth squeezing dry. Having broken through level thirty, Wang Qi had reached the time to leave.

While packing up the secret chamber, Wang Qi found an extremely well-hidden storage Soul Tool in a corner and laughed.

"Nearly forgot about you. If what's inside were leaked, the Douluo Continent would become lively indeed."

Others did not know what was stored inside this Soul Tool, but Wang Qi knew perfectly well.

His plan to have one hundred thousand people cultivate Evil-Resisting Swordplay together was hidden inside in its entirety.
