"Crackle!"
Golden-white lightning blossomed within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, and Su Ze, who was at the very center of the spring, suddenly opened his eyes.
Ice and fire swirled across his body, making him look extraordinary.
"Whew! My body has reached Soul King strength, and I've also cultivated an Ice Fire Immunity Body!"
Su Ze's eyes brimmed with delight.
His body had not only grown as strong as a Soul King's; he had also completely acquired a perfect Ice Fire Immunity Body.
Neither Extreme Fire nor Extreme Ice could harm him.
After sensing the changes in his body, Su Ze looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye beside him.
Now that he had cultivated an Ice Fire Immunity Body, it was time to investigate the Ice Fire Dragon King's Corpse below.
Without hesitation, Su Ze plunged into the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye looked small, but it was incredibly deep.
And the farther down he went, the stronger the Ice and Fire Attribute Power became.
If Su Ze hadn't already cultivated the Ice Fire Body,
half his body would have been burned, while the other half would have been completely frozen solid.
Relying on his perfect Ice Fire Immunity Body, he descended several thousand meters.
Then, in the darkness beneath the water, he made out two enormous dragon corpses.
The instant he caught sight of them, a powerful pressure washed over him.
Just getting close made it hard for Su Ze to breathe.
"Are these the Ice Fire Dragon King's Corpses? As expected of the highest-level Level One Gods."
"Just getting near them makes it hard to breathe."
The Ice Fire Dragon Kings had died at least several hundred thousand years ago.
Yet the pressure that remained after all those centuries was even greater than the oppressive force Dugu Bo could unleash at full strength as a Titled Douluo.
That was the power of gods for you.
After marveling at the strength of the Ice Fire Two Great Dragon Kings, Su Ze gazed at the enormous dragon corpses before him with a troubled expression.
The Ice Fire Two Great Dragon Kings really were lying beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
But just getting close already made it hard for him to breathe.
Even if they had Soul Bones,
with the Dragon King's pressure bearing down on him,
how was he supposed to take them?
As Su Ze pondered the problem, he suddenly thought of the Storm Dragon King he had just unlocked.
They were all Dragon Kings.
Perhaps he could use Storm Dragon King's Possession to resist the Dragon King's pressure.
He wasted no time. Su Ze immediately summoned the Storm Dragon King he had just unlocked.
Deep underwater, golden-yellow lightning burst from Su Ze's body.
At the same time, a dragon's roar rang out from somewhere beyond.
A massive Dragon Shadow with golden whiskers appeared behind Su Ze.
As the Storm Dragon King's Phantom emerged,
Su Ze immediately felt the pressure ease. The difficulty breathing vanished.
"It really works!"
With the Storm Dragon King's Phantom wrapped around him, Su Ze continued downward. Soon, the two enormous dragon corpses appeared before him.
The two Dragon Kings had been dead for tens of thousands of years, yet when Su Ze saw their corpses, he instinctively thought he was mistaken.
He blinked, then realized he had seen them correctly.
The dragon corpses still looked as they had in life: enormous and lifelike.
Even the savage wounds on their bodies remained, making them look as if they were still alive.
"So this is the power of a Dragon King?"
"Even after all these years, they still look alive."
As Su Ze spoke, the Ice Fire Two Great Dragon Kings' corpses seemed to come back to life.
Blue and red light welled up in their eyes.
Roar!
With a dragon's roar, Su Ze saw their once-proud heads slowly lower.
Their newly lit eyes fixed on him.
The moment their gaze landed on him, Su Ze's entire body went rigid.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even move a finger.
Just then, the Storm Dragon King possessing him took effect. Violent lightning enveloped his body.
The Storm Dragon King's Phantom behind him grew even larger.
It seemed as though a long time passed.
Or perhaps only an instant.
By the time Su Ze came to his senses, the light in the eyes of the two Ice Fire Dragon Kings before him was growing brighter.
In contrast, their bodies began to decay, eventually crumbling into dragon bones.
"I never thought another Dragon King would appear after us!"
A dignified male voice sounded beside Su Ze's ear.
"A Dragon King with the Storm attribute? Is this a contingency left behind by our Dragon Father?"
An enchanting female voice followed.
"It doesn't matter. We're already dead, and there's not much we can do. Whoever you are, strange Dragon King,
"accept our gift. As members of the same race, this is the only thing we can offer you now."
The dignified male voice rang out again.
As he finished speaking, a red Soul Bone and a blue Soul Bone floated out of the dragon bones and hung quietly before Su Ze.
"Also, the other Dragon King in this world already knows you exist. She may come to help you!"
"Strange Dragon King, I wish you luck in what lies ahead!"
As the enchanting female voice faded, the light on the two dragon corpses before Su Ze went completely dark.
They became nothing but dragon bones.
By then, Su Ze had fully regained consciousness.
He looked at the two Soul Bones floating before him, one red and one blue,
then at the two dragon corpses.
Su Ze had never expected that possessing the Storm Dragon King would make the lingering consciousness of the dead Ice Fire Dragon Kings mistake him for a newly born Dragon King.
As expected of Level One Gods.
Even after hundreds of thousands of years, they still had a consciousness left behind!
Looking at the two Soul Bones, Su Ze recalled the last words of the female voice—the Ice Dragon King—and what she had said.
She had said she would notify the other Dragon King in the world about him.
According to the story, he already knew who she was: Gu Yuena.
She was a genius in her own right.
She was hailed as having inherited all of the Dragon God's wisdom, yet in the end she became Tang San's daughter-in-law.
She turned Di Tian, who had devoted himself to the Soul Clan, into a complete laughingstock.
But that had nothing to do with him. After all, he only possessed the Storm Dragon King Martial Soul.
He wasn't actually a Dragon King.
But Su Ze soon realized that if the Ice Fire Dragon Kings could mistake him for a newly born Dragon King,
then Silver Dragon King's "world-shaking wisdom" would probably lead her to believe he was the Storm Dragon King, too.
Which meant he could get something out of Gu Yuena.
Su Ze's eyes immediately lit up at the thought.
Gu Yuena was just as unreliable as Qian Renxue.
But if he had to choose one to side with,
he would definitely choose Gu Yuena.
They were simply on different levels. Gu Yuena wanted to become a god and revive the Soul Beasts.
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, only wanted the Heaven Dou Empire.
Their status and strength were different, as was what they could offer him.
More importantly, Gu Yuena's plan might not come to fruition for millions of years.
By then, if he was still alive, he would certainly have become a god.
Even if he really did side with Gu Yuena,
by the time she needed him to do something, he would either be dead or entirely beyond her control.
With that in mind, Su Ze began looking forward to Gu Yuena sending someone to find him.
But that could wait. Right now, the most important thing was to absorb the blue and red Soul Bones,
so he could unlock the Storm Dragon King's Soul Ring Evolution ability.
Holding one Soul Bone in each hand, Su Ze floated toward the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
Outside,
it was already dusk. Dugu Bo had brought Dugu Yan and the mother and daughter from the Ye Family to the Medicine Garden.
As soon as he landed with the others, Dugu Bo spotted the scattered clothes beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
And with the garden empty,
he immediately realized Su Ze might have gone into the water.
"That brat! The spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is miraculous, but it also contains powerful Ice and Fire Attribute Power."
"Even I can't withstand it. If that kid went down there, isn't he just asking to die?"
Dugu Bo was filled with regret. If he'd known Su Ze would do something so reckless, he would have stayed here.
Now he might have lost a genius who could have become a god in the future.
And he had no idea where to go to get his granddaughter Yan Yan's Martial Soul Evolution and cure her poison.
Just as Dugu Bo's mind was in turmoil,
the water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye suddenly exploded, and Su Ze leaped straight out.
Everyone near the pool was startled by the sudden sight.
Dugu Bo immediately used Martial Soul Possession, raising a green barrier in front of everyone to keep the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye from splashing onto them.
As he activated the Protective Shield, he looked at Su Ze in midair.
Shocked, Dugu Bo also let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness the worst hadn't happened. Su Ze was still alive.
After leaping out of the water, Su Ze looked at Dugu Yan and the mother and daughter from the Ye Family, equally surprised.
Then he glanced at the dusk sky and understood.
It seemed the Ice Fire Dragon Kings' awakening had affected the passage of time.
Down there, it had felt like only a little while had passed, but half a day had gone by outside.
"Kid, you actually made it out alive?"
Dugu Bo sounded astonished. Even he, a Titled Douluo, didn't dare stay for long in that pool.
How had this kid come out of it completely unharmed?
But then Dugu Bo thought of the enormous phenomenon Su Ze had triggered earlier.
He understood.
This kid had the Potential for Godhood. It was only natural for him to do things ordinary people couldn't.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingxian noticed Su Ze at once.
With her formidable Medical Skill and Soul Emperor strength,
Ye Qingxian could tell at a glance that Su Ze's body had reached the strength of a Soul King.
He wasn't even eight years old, yet his body was as strong as a Soul King's.
And Su Ze's Soul Power had already reached level 29. Once he obtained his Third Soul Ring, he would immediately become a Soul Elder.
Thinking of Su Ze's physical strength and Soul Power Level,
then considering his age,
Ye Qingxian's eyes widened in shock. The same thought Dugu Bo had crossed her mind.
Her disciple had the Potential for Godhood!
Before, she had taken Su Ze on as her disciple only because she wanted to remove the defect in the Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul.
But after seeing Su Ze's talent,
Ye Qingshan had other ideas.
Because of the Nine Hearts Begonia Curse, the Nine Hearts Begonia was the Continent's Number One Support Martial Soul.
But the Support Martial Soul the world knew as number one was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
As the head of the Ye Family, Ye Qingshan had never been willing to accept that.
Before, she hadn't been able to change the situation.
But now Su Ze had appeared.
Since he had already cured the Martial Soul Defect of Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo,
Ye Qingxian had no doubt he could remove the Nine Hearts Begonia Curse, too.
Once the curse was lifted, the Ye Family would be able to have children again.
With her disciple and the Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul, a hundred years from now...
It was still uncertain who would have the greatest support Martial Soul on the continent in the future.
Besides, Ye Qingshan glanced at his daughter, Ye Lingling.
After just one day, Ye Qingshan had already realized that his daughter, who usually had social phobia and never liked to talk about anything, seemed especially interested in Su Ze.
She had even started earnestly asking him how to explain medical skills in a way people could understand, so she could answer that brat Su Ze's questions in the future.
Ye Qingxian, who had been through the same thing herself, naturally saw it all.
If Su Ze and his daughter really ended up together, given his talent, then perhaps the Ye Family could truly compete with the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda a hundred years from now.
Which one would be the greatest support Martial Soul in the world?
"Senior Dugu, don't worry. I've already taken an Immortal Herb and formed an Ice Fire Immunity Body."
"Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire can no longer affect me."
"And I gained a little something from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye this time."
As he spoke, Su Ze raised the two Soul Bones in his hands.
Only then did Dugu Bo notice the two Soul Bones in Su Ze's hands.
The moment he saw them, he immediately sensed their extraordinary aura, even as a Titled Douluo.
He only had to feel their presence for a moment before a sense of fear and awe rose solemnly within him.
Though he didn't know their exact ages, Dugu Bo was certain that these two Soul Bones were over a hundred thousand years old.
He thought of how he'd struggled for decades to collect a single ten-thousand-year Soul Bone.
He'd only gone out once, yet Su Ze had obtained two Soul Bones, each at least a hundred thousand years old.
This Su Ze had Potential for Godhood!
The same thought surfaced in Dugu Bo's mind once more.
Ye Qingxian, standing nearby, had also noticed the two Soul Bones in Su Ze's hands.
Thanks to her profound medical skills, she could also tell that they were extraordinary.
Unlike Dugu Bo, Ye Qingxian had seen a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone before.
So she immediately thought of the so-called Million Year Soul Bones mentioned in the Medical Book.
Two Million Year Soul Bones.
He wasn't even eight, yet his body was as strong as a Soul King's, and his Soul Power had already reached level thirty.
Thinking of all he had going for him, Ye Qingxian glanced at her daughter again.
With Su Ze's talent and luck, it seemed her daughter might not be good enough for him.
Could she, for the sake of the Ye Family's revival...
Ye Qingxian unconsciously lowered her gaze toward her own figure, her toes hidden from view, and some strange thoughts surfaced in her mind.
But Ye Qingxian soon shook her head, blushing, and cast those thoughts aside.
Now wasn't the time to think about that.
She should first break the Nine Hearts Begonia Curse.
Unlike the two elders, Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling had kept their attention on Su Ze.
But neither of them was focused on his Soul Bones or strength.
Thanks to his Martial Soul Evolution and the improvements brought by the Immortal Herb, Su Ze had grown quite a bit taller. The muscles beneath his clothes were more defined, and his skin had grown fair and smooth.
His good figure paired with his handsome face.
Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling both blushed when they noticed.
After exchanging glances, they shyly turned away.
But their frequent sidelong glances gave away what they were really thinking.
