Ye Guyi and Dragon Girl Form a Contract

Inside the secret chamber, aside from Jiang Heng and Ye Guyi, there were also the three Dragon Girls he had brought out from the Pingfan Alliance.

After studying them for some time and combining that with the information he had obtained from Di Tian, he had found a better way to make use of these three Dragon Girls.

The three Dragon Girls possessed water, fire, and light attributes respectively.

They were half-human, half-beast, incapable of increasing their strength through cultivation. They could only improve their attributes and power as they continued to grow.

This growth had its limits.

In their juvenile stage, they possessed strength equivalent to a human level-thirty Soul Elder. In their adolescent stage, they rivaled a level-fifty Soul King. Once mature, they possessed power equivalent to a human level-seventy Soul Saint.

And that was the end of it.

These Dragon Girls were remnants of ancient times, beings not naturally evolved. They were special existences born from the fusion of Dragon Clan blood scattered when the Dragon Clan fell in ancient times and the spiritual essence at the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In a sense, their ancestors were half elemental spirits, and they were also known as Dragon Blood Spirit Bodies.

Thus, not only did they possess unique abilities, they were also burdened with a curse.

Even though people knew that forcibly controlling or capturing them would trigger the Dragon Grudge Curse, causing Soul Power to continuously decline until death, and that only a hundred-thousand-year healing soul skill could dispel the curse, countless people still sought every possible means to capture them.

The reason was simple: they were the finest cultivation cheat tools, also known as cultivation furnaces.

If one gained a Dragon Girl's approval and formed a contract with her, one could not only break through cultivation bottlenecks, but also strengthen one's physique and spiritual power, while gaining the pressure of a dragon soul within one's martial soul.

Of course, there was also a drawback. Once the contract succeeded, the lives of the two would become bound and connected.

If the contractor died, the Dragon Girl would lose all her abilities and slowly regress to the juvenile stage.

If the Dragon Girl died, the contractor's Soul Power would plummet, and every benefit granted by the contract would vanish.

Using the power of the Dragon Core he had obtained from Beibei, along with his own essence blood, Jiang Heng helped the light-attributed Dragon Girl fuse with one of the three Dragon Pearls. He helped her break through the shackles of her bloodline and advance further, granting her strength equivalent to a human Soul Douluo.

This way, whoever formed a contract with her would gain even greater benefits.

But the constraints of the curse and their bond would likewise become several degrees stronger.

"Master!"

Upon seeing Jiang Heng enter, the three Dragon Girls hurriedly bowed respectfully.

To them, Jiang Heng was the hero who had saved them from that world of endless darkness. Moreover, he had helped them find a path to grow stronger themselves, and through Jiang Heng's subtle training of them, let alone asking the three Dragon Girls to form contracts, even if he ordered them to die, they would carry it out without hesitation.

"Starlight, this is the person you will form a contract with. What do you think?"

With a faintly gentle smile, Jiang Heng looked at the youngest-looking of the three Dragon Girls.

She was also the strongest among them.

It was not that Jiang Heng did not want to help the other two Dragon Girls increase their strength and fuse with Dragon Pearls, but the conditions at hand were insufficient.

"I will obey all of Master's arrangements!"

Starlight was extremely obedient and had the gentlest temperament of the three. She merely glanced at Ye Guyi before giving her answer.

Perhaps because their attributes were the same, she had developed a favorable impression of Ye Guyi the moment they met.

"Go prepare yourself first. Once the contract is complete, I will send you somewhere safe. At that time, you will have to be separated from your two sisters for a while."

Jiang Heng maintained his gentle manner.

Whether Ye Guyi or Starlight, the Dragon Girl, they were both chess pieces to him. Yet even chess pieces differed from one another.

He was clearly somewhat more patient with these three unusual half-human, half-beast Dragon Girls.

"Yes, Master!"

Starlight answered, then turned to speak with her two sisters.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Heng explained the origins of the Dragon Girls and their special abilities to Ye Guyi. Naturally, he selectively concealed some of the truth.

"After forming a contract with Starlight, not only will your physique be strengthened and your spiritual power improved, but your martial soul will also advance further. Once you are strong enough, you will be able to fight alongside Starlight."

"I have explained the pros and cons. The choice is yours."

After explaining everything, Jiang Heng looked at Ye Guyi.

"Senior, I will listen to you."

Unexpectedly, Ye Guyi agreed without even thinking about it.

She was so foolish that Jiang Heng felt the faintest trace of reluctance to scheme against her.

"I believe in you. You will certainly restore the glory of the Angel!"

Jiang Heng gave Ye Guyi an encouraging look.

Once everything was ready, Starlight and Ye Guyi began forming their contract.

"Blood as the guide, fates born as one, magical contract established, sacrifice complete!"

As their blood merged together, they drew an extremely complex contract formation upon the ground according to Jiang Heng's instructions.

The next moment, brilliant light erupted. Sacred radiance filled the entire secret chamber, while a mysterious and wondrous law fused between Ye Guyi and Starlight.

Throughout the process, Jiang Heng pushed his spiritual power to the limit, attempting to see through the laws and secrets within it.

As time passed, the strength and aura of both women steadily rose.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Starlight completely fused with the Dragon Core. The scales on her body gradually receded, revealing snow-white skin and a graceful figure.

On Ye Guyi's side, her Holy Angel martial soul behind her shone brilliantly. Faintly, the phantom of a Radiant Sacred Dragon appeared beneath the Angel's feet.

The quality of the attributes contained within her martial soul was also rapidly improving.

Although the Holy Angel martial soul was an exceptionally powerful martial soul, it did not possess the ultimate sacred attribute. As their powers melded, the sacredness contained within Ye Guyi's martial soul faintly reached the ultimate level.

Not only that, as their fates merged, Ye Guyi's Holy Angel martial soul gained the light attribute.

The sacred attribute inherently encompassed the light attribute. This merely activated and evolved it further, allowing the light attribute it possessed to emerge and grow stronger.

"The results are even better than I expected!"

Jiang Heng looked at the contract between them with great satisfaction, though his gaze remained fixed upon the magic formation on the floor.

He had learned this magic formation from Electrolux's memories.

This magic formation was called the Equal Life-Bond Contract.

They could summon each other, share power, and perform fusion skills.

Most importantly, if one party was willing, she could leave everything she had to the other.
