Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils Awaken

"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?" Hai Bodong swept his gaze over Qing Lin, his face carrying a hint of curiosity.

The Great Thousand World held every conceivable wonder.

Hai Bodong had naturally heard that the continent possessed many special constitutions. Those who bore them invariably had exceptional gifts on the path of cultivation.

Take Xiao Yi Xian, for example. Her cultivation speed had left Hai Bodong utterly dumbfounded.

In just two short months, he had watched Xiao Yi Xian rise from a Two-Star Doushi to a Seven-Star Doushi. Her rate of advancement had completely overturned his understanding.

More importantly, Xiao Yi Xian's foundation had not become unstable despite her explosive rise in realm. Her poison-attributed Dou Qi was incredibly lethal, and fighting above her level was as easy for her as eating and drinking.

"What kind of constitution is that? What special abilities does it have?" Hai Bodong asked.

"Heh heh, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils are the bane of snake-type magical beasts. They can control snake-type magical beasts and absorb their energy to increase one's strength," Xiao Ce said with a faint smile.

"Hiss—"

"There's actually such a constitution in this world?"

"No wonder you brought this girl here. You were after that Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake in the magma."

Hai Bodong sucked in a breath and looked at Qing Lin differently. Beyond his deep envy, there was also a trace of subtle awe in his gaze.

The little girl did not even seem to be a Dou Zhe yet, but once she grew up, surpassing him would only be a matter of time.

After saying that, he could not help looking at Xiao Ce again.

"Xiao Ce, tell me honestly. You aren't Heaven's illegitimate son, are you? Why are all the people around you such freaks?"

Hai Bodong would have bet anything that whether it was Xiao Yi Xian or Qing Lin, either of their talents would be considered top-tier in the Northwest Continent, or even the Central Plains.

Yet such freakish geniuses had gathered in this tiny Jia Ma Empire, and all of them willingly followed Xiao Ce.

Wasn't this basically cheating?

"Heh heh, coincidence. It's all coincidence!"

Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand.

If the heavens of the Douqi Continent truly had an illegitimate son, it should have been Xiao Yan.

"How could there be so many coincidences?" Hai Bodong muttered inwardly. Then he turned his gaze toward the fiery-red magma. "What do you plan to do next? Draw that Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake out first?"

Xiao Ce nodded slightly. "That's right. Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils haven't awakened yet. I need to force the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake out and use it to provoke Qing Lin, helping her fully awaken the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

Hai Bodong pondered briefly. "I fought it not long ago and frightened it so badly that it doesn't dare emerge from the magma. It probably won't be easy to force it out now."

As an outsider, Hai Bodong had been attacked by the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake as soon as he arrived in this underground magma world.

Although the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was a Fourth-Rank Magical Beast and held the advantage of its home ground, it was still no match for a Dou Emperor whose cultivation had been sealed.

"In that case, I'll enter the magma and force it out." A sharp gleam flashed through Xiao Ce's eyes.

"That could work. With your current strength, even in the magma, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake is no match for you."

"Then Elder Hai, watch over Qing Lin here. I'll be back shortly."

As soon as Xiao Ce finished speaking, a mass of bright yellow fire-attributed Dou Qi enveloped his body, and he leaped into the magma.

Within the magma, the searing liquid did not harm Xiao Ce in the slightest.

Even without Dou Qi protecting him, if he were not worried about his robes being burned away by the magma, he could have swum through it using his physical body alone.

Xiao Ce moved through the magma, his eyes scanning the distance while his senses spread in every direction.

"Hiss—"

Before long, a hissing sound entered Xiao Ce's ears.

"Found you!" Xiao Ce's lips curled slightly as he abruptly looked in one direction. There, a snake-type magical beast four or five zhang long, covered entirely in fiery-red scales and bearing two ferocious heads at the fork of its neck, seemed to have fused with the magma itself.

It was precisely the target Xiao Ce had been seeking.

A Fourth-Rank Magical Beast, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

The instant Xiao Ce looked over, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's massive body jerked. As though it sensed that the human before it was difficult to deal with, it immediately dived deeper.

But how could Xiao Ce let it have its way?

The instant it dived downward, Xiao Ce stomped his foot, and the surrounding magma exploded.

Nine Turns of the Wandering Dragon, First Turn!

Xiao Ce shot forward at once, so fast he seemed like a phantom. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and blocked its path downward.

Human-like shock flashed through its diamond-shaped pupils, and it immediately tried to change direction.

But Xiao Ce would not give it the chance. He raised a hand and clenched it, forming a massive Dou Qi palm that seized the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's body directly.

"Hiss—"

No matter how madly the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake struggled, it could not break free from the enormous Dou Qi hand.

With Xiao Ce's strength, even without using any Dou Techniques, he remained invincible among those of the same realm. Against the weaker Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, it was nothing but a complete crushing defeat.

After capturing the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, Xiao Ce spread a pair of bright yellow Dou Qi wings behind his back and flew out of the magma in an instant.

After leaving the magma, Xiao Ce flicked his right hand and hurled the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake toward Qing Lin and Hai Bodong.

"Hiss—"

The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake saw that the restraints around its body had been released, then glanced at Hai Bodong and Qing Lin ahead.

A wolf in front, a tiger behind!

Still, in its eyes, the two humans in front of it seemed easier to handle. It hissed, then opened its blood-filled maw.

Hai Bodong had focused his attention the instant the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake appeared, yet he did not rush to act. He merely watched Qing Lin's condition closely at all times.

Even when the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's gaping maw was right before them and they could smell the stench from its mouth, Qing Lin still showed no other changes.

"Still not awakened?"

Hai Bodong thought to himself as a mass of icy Dou Qi gathered in his hand, ready for him to strike at any moment.

But at that moment, apart from the initial flash of panic on Qing Lin's little face, she quickly returned to normal.

Brother Xiao Ce had said so. She possessed the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and she could control snake-type magical beasts.

I absolutely can't disappoint Brother Xiao Ce!

Absolutely not!

Determination flashed through Qing Lin's eyes. She would never allow any accident to destroy her current life.

Qing Lin's faintly green eyes stared fixedly at the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's diamond-shaped pupils, utterly fearless.

At that moment, a special, slightly chilling energy burst wildly from within her body and finally gathered around her pupils.

At the critical moment, three tiny jade-green dots arranged in a triangular pattern suddenly lit up, their ghostly light blazing as it shone upon the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's huge body.

Beside her, Hai Bodong's pupils contracted.

This was...

It worked?

Once the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was struck by the ghostly light, its body stiffened abruptly, and terror flashed through its two pairs of enormous eyes.

Then, the ghostly light enveloping its massive body slowly contracted, eventually transforming into two small green flowers that imprinted themselves upon its two heads.

After that, the ferocity on the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's two heads swiftly vanished. Its enormous body stopped in midair, then descended and docilely remained before Qing Lin.

In the distance, delight appeared on Xiao Ce's face.

Just as in the original story.

Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils had completely awakened!
