"Huff... huff..."
Long Yeyue sprinted for her life, her eyes bloodshot and her breaths coming in ragged gasps.
She had no idea why she was running.
Perhaps fear was whipping her onward. Long Yeyue couldn't stop.
It was a fear rooted in her bloodline and instincts, impossible to suppress or resist,
like a subject facing an imperial decree.
Under the cold snort of that mysterious, imposing being, the once-mighty Holy Light Dragon and Dark Holy Dragon had nearly cowered into caterpillars.
Long Yeyue didn't know what her top-tier Twin Martial Souls were afraid of,
but fear left her with just one thought:
Run!
Back when she had stormed the Spirit Pagoda and slapped its master, she had run off afterward, leaving Shrek to clean up the mess.
In the future, when Shrek was bombarded by a level-twelve Godslaying Soul Cannon shell, she would run again, leaving Yun Ming to bleed and weep.
So running now was only natural.
She was no good at anything else, but she was very good at running away.
But this time, it seemed she couldn't simply run and be done with it...
"No! No!!"
"My Martial Souls! My Martial Souls!"
Long Yeyue suddenly screamed, desperately trying to contact her Martial Souls.
She discovered, in despair, that her Martial Souls had abandoned her!
The Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon—
her two top-tier True Dragon Martial Souls had abandoned her!
They were completely disconnected. She could no longer communicate with them; she could hardly even be called a Soul Master anymore.
"What's going on?"
Long Yeyue couldn't understand. She was clearly the wielder of the Light and Dark Holy Dragons!
How could she have lost her power?
Abandoned by the Martial Souls that had accompanied her for more than two hundred years?
The feeling of losing her power was no different from an ordinary person suddenly becoming paralyzed.
In terror and despair,
Long Yeyue ran even faster. But without her Martial Souls, her strength had fallen sharply, and her speed still slowed.
The Holy Light Dragon: "Damn, this woman's insane! The last person who spoke ill of the Mistress had his head chopped off by the Lord. And she actually dared to attack her?"
The Dark Holy Dragon: "What rotten luck! The wind's up—time to run! Don't let this stupid woman drag us down!"
The Light and Dark Holy Dragons figured that the Dragon God had already warned them. Why wouldn't they run?
Did they want to die?
Long Yeyue ran, and they ran too!
If it were some other Limit Douluo, the Dragon God might have needed to use a few tricks.
But someone from the dragon clan dared to lay a hand on the Dragon God's Mistress?
That took just one word!
Meanwhile,
at Eastsea Academy.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!"
"Wulin, Jin Xi, do you feel like something's wrong?"
Xie Xie's body jolted, and a warm sensation surged through him.
It felt as if a powerful force of light had entered his body, making his entire frame flush red.
Under that force of light,
the Light Dragon Dagger transformed on the spot, devouring the Shadow Dragon Dagger and evolving into the Holy Light Dragon!
"I feel it. Could this be the call of destiny?"
Wang Jinxi's body jolted too.
The Dark Holy Dragon that had entered his body greatly amplified his dark attribute,
and his Bone Dragon King Martial Soul evolved into the Dark Holy Dragon!
"What are you two standing around for?"
"Forget it, I'll go find Teacher Wu myself."
Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi were both trembling like sieves, while Tang Wulin only had eyes for Brother Ji. He headed off alone to find Wu Zhangkong.
Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi exchanged a glance and saw the delight in each other's eyes.
The Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon?!
What kind of luck was this?
A windfall had just fallen from the sky!
"Fengyu, are you all right?"
Gu Yue leaned toward Ji Fengyu with concern, reaching out to check his condition.
"I'm fine. That old hag was acting strange for no reason."
Ji Fengyu rolled his eyes.
Long Yeyue had arrived quickly and left just as quickly. He had no idea what she'd come for.
Was she just here to make a cameo?
If she was investigating Rainbow, fine—but why pick on a kid?
Gu Yue froze.
She realized Ji Fengyu was just too much. Even rolling his eyes was so cute...
"Right, let's see what's up with that card."
Ji Fengyu took out the Federation Card that the Eastsea City Lord had just given them as compensation and logged in on his Soul Tool.
A two-star emblem sprang out of the screen.
"Whoa!"
"This is a Federation Authorization Card. It comes with membership at the Spirit Pagoda. What a great item."
"With this card, you can claim a spot in the Spirit Ascension Platform."
He wouldn't need to compete in the early rounds of the Class Promotion Tournament, and the typhoon was expected to last a whole week. Ji Fengyu had quite a bit of free time.
He could use the chance to upgrade his Spirit Soul in the Spirit Ascension Platform.
He was already level twenty-eight. Upgrading his beloved Seven-Colored Crown or Rouge Soft-Muscle Python to a thousand years was urgent.
"What's the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Gu Yue was very interested in this new term.
"It's a place where you can upgrade your Spirit Soul. Want to come with me?"
Ji Fengyu waved the card in his hand.
How could a support-type Soul Master go in alone?
It would be a waste not to make use of Silver Dragon King's formidable fighting strength.
"Is this a date?"
Gu Yue smiled shyly.
"Um... I guess so."
Ji Fengyu's smile stiffened a little. Who in their right mind went on a date in the Spirit Ascension Platform?
As long as Silver Dragon King was happy.
[Brother Ji, how are things on your end?]
[If Gu Yue is threatening you, just tell me.]
[I've already told Teacher Wu...]
There was also a string of messages from Tang Wulin on his Soul Guidance Phone.
[I'm fine. Gu Yue isn't threatening me...]
[I have something to take care of and can't get away. I'll be back later. Tell Teacher Wu not to trouble himself.]
After sending a couple of quick replies,
Ji Fengyu shut off his Soul Guidance Phone, took Gu Yue with him, and headed for the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City on his Rainbow Wings.
Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
"Rouge, go!"
As soon as Ji Fengyu appeared in the dense forest, he immediately summoned his Rouge Soft-Muscle Python Spirit Soul to keep watch.
His hundred-year Rouge Soft-Muscle Python Spirit Soul already had the combat strength of an ordinary thousand-year Soul Beast.
The enormous rouge-colored snake flicked its tongue. Its massive body burst with astonishing speed as it slipped into the bushes ahead to scout.
Ji Fengyu chose a direction that led toward Gu Yue.
The Primary Spirit Ascension Platform teleported them to random locations.
He and Gu Yue weren't in the same place, but they could both sense each other.
So as soon as they entered the Spirit Ascension Platform,
they were drawn toward each other like two magnets.
Boom!!!
The bushes ahead suddenly erupted into chaos.
The vanguard Rouge had already spotted an enemy and launched an attack, using Python Constriction on a thousand-year Long-Tailed Mouse.
"Hiss!"
The Rouge Soft-Muscle Python hissed. Its scales glimmered with a pink sheen, and its aura surged to twice its former strength.
It was Ji Fengyu's Skin Martial Soul's first Soul Skill, Dragon-Snake Transformation!
A gentleman could transform like a dragon or snake:
as a dragon, his strength doubled;
as a snake, his speed doubled.
The Rouge Soft-Muscle Python, which shared his Soul Skills, could use this move too.
"Squeak!"
With Dragon-Snake Transformation, the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python's constricting power greatly increased. Add the difference in bloodlines and the natural advantage of one species over the other,
and the hundred-year python killed the thousand-year mouse. The Long-Tailed Mouse shrieked and instantly turned into energy that flew toward Ji Fengyu.
"Well done!"
Ji Fengyu was delighted.
A thousand-year Long-Tailed Mouse was worth a hundred years of energy.
Split between the Seven-Colored Crown and the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python, each Spirit Soul would gain fifty years.
Eastsea Academy.
Wu Zhangkong stared at Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi, questioning reality.
"You're telling me,"
"that while you were just walking along, your Light Dragon Dagger turned into the Holy Light Dragon, and his Bone Dragon King turned into the Dark Holy Dragon?"
