This Is the Kind of Fighting I Love!

Wait. Wu Zhangkong needed a moment to sort this out.

He was a little confused.

You mean,

in this tiny Eastsea Academy in the tiny Eastsea City,

there were a Rainbow Dragon, an unknown dragon bloodline of extremely high quality, a Holy Light Dragon, and a Dark Holy Dragon, all in the same dormitory?

That was what you were saying, right?

"Yeah, exactly."

"Teacher Wu, we don't know what happened either. We were just walking along, then our bodies suddenly heated up."

"Then a panicked power appeared inside us. It felt... almost like we were fleeing for our lives."

Xie Xie's expression grew increasingly strange.

The Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul had truly fallen into his lap from the heavens.

But this blessing had arrived in a panic. It felt to him as if... the Holy Light Dragon had fled into his body,

yes, that was exactly it!

"You too?"

Wu Zhangkong looked at Wang Jinxi in bewilderment.

Xie Xie's lousy dagger only had light and dragon attributes in common with the Holy Light Dragon. The difference between them was astronomical.

Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon King was high-quality. Though it still fell far short of the Dark Holy Dragon, there should at least have been some changes or clues.

(Xie Xie is not the Space-Time Dragon. The Space-Time Dragon is the Dragon God's bodyguard. Whoever guards Tang Wulin is the Space-Time Dragon.)

(The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark are going to ride three coattails. They're definitely evolving later!)

"Same."

Wang Jinxi nodded.

Wu Zhangkong was even more bewildered.

The Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon had both fled for refuge?

Good heavens.

The swallows that once nested before the halls of the Wang and Xie clans had flown into ordinary homes. So whose swallow was this, flying into the Wang and Xie families?

Wu Zhangkong couldn't make heads or tails of it.

The Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon were both top-tier Dragon Martial Souls, unquestionably in the T0 echelon.

No Soul Master with either of these Martial Souls would ever achieve less than level 98!

They were practically the strongest Dragon Martial Souls known to humanity!

Yet such powerful beings had fled into Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi...

"In any case, you must keep what happened today secret. Don't tell anyone."

"Even if your families ask, make up a reason. Say your bloodlines have reverted to their origins and become purer."

Wu Zhangkong's instincts told him this was no small matter.

It had to be kept secret!

Heavens!

He was just a washed-up man who'd lost the woman he loved, grown disillusioned, and come to some backwater to retire.

Why did it feel like he was once again at the center of the storm?

"Yes!"

Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi had also realized how serious this was.

"Teacher Wu, are we really not going to look for Gu Yue?"

Once their discussion was over, Tang Wulin, frantic with worry, couldn't help raising his hand timidly and asking again.

"We're not going."

Wu Zhangkong gave Tang Wulin a meaningful look. This kid... wasn't he the type the Tang Sect's master would like?

Every gain came with a loss.

Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi had gained the Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark, which meant someone else must have lost them.

There were only a handful of Soul Masters in the world with these two Holy Dragon Martial Souls. Wu Zhangkong felt a headache coming on.

Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"This is a Ten-Year Lone Bamboo. Its trait is Tenacity."

Ji Fengyu patted a Lone Bamboo Spirit Soul,

then casually crushed it.

The Ten-Year Lone Bamboo Spirit Soul turned into energy and surged into his body. He narrowed his eyes in comfort.

This was already the fifth Spirit Soul he and the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python had hunted.

The improvement to the Spirit Soul was quite substantial.

The Rouge Soft-Muscle Python was already an extremely powerful Soul Beast. After sharing his Skin Martial Soul's Soul Skill, it could even strangle a Soul Elder. It was a force to be reckoned with in this Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.

But the Spirit Ascension Platform was a dungeon map,

with a high density of Spirit Souls that spawned randomly across the map and came with built-in tracking.

Surviving here was far harder than surviving in a genuine Soul Beast forest ten thousand years ago. Ji Fengyu was starting to feel the strain too.

"She's here."

He sensed Gu Yue's approaching presence and recalled the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python.

"Fengyu!"

"Fengyu!"

On the other side,

Gu Yue's eyes were bloodshot. She held an Elemental Storm in each hand and charged toward Ji Fengyu, as if she couldn't feel her Soul Power draining.

She liked the environment inside the Spirit Ascension Platform,

but what would happen to an isolated support-type Soul Master in such a cruel, primeval map?

She couldn't bear to imagine it!

She had to reach Ji Fengyu as soon as possible and keep him safe.

"Phew~~"

After dashing out of a patch of Blue Silver Grass and spotting Ji Fengyu, Gu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, he was all right.

"Gu Yue?"

Ji Fengyu hurried over to Gu Yue, looking bewildered.

Why was Gu Yue's aura so unsteady? Why was she so flustered?

Girl, you're the main carry.

If you're this worn out, you won't last long.

"Hang in there."

Not wanting to reveal his Second Martial Soul, Ji Fengyu took Gu Yue's hand and transferred Soul Power to her.

He and Gu Yue also had a passive Martial Soul Fusion Skill:

Silver Wind Power, shared Soul Power.

His abundant level-28 Soul Power poured into Gu Yue, and only then did she begin to recover and steady her breathing.

"Mm..."

Then Gu Yue's face flushed. She lowered her head shyly, too embarrassed to look at Ji Fengyu.

Where their hands touched,

the auras of the Silver Dragon King and the Rainbow Dragon King met. An indescribable comfort and ease filled Gu Yue's heart.

"Fengyu, I'm a little sleepy..."

Drowsiness washed over her. Gu Yue closed her eyes and collapsed into Ji Fengyu's arms, falling fast asleep.

She was exhausted...

Ever since escaping from the Divine Realm, she'd been gravely injured.

She'd spent all that time healing and recovering. At long last, she'd awakened, only to find the Soul Beasts on the brink of extinction. Then she'd taken human form and infiltrated human society.

She was exhausted. Only today, after deeply sensing the Rainbow Dragon King's aura, had Gu Yue finally felt safe enough to fall into a deep sleep.

That sense of security was beyond words.

Gu Yue was like a seasoned driver who'd kept the wheel clenched tight for tens of thousands of years, finally encountering Ji Fengyu, a soft, fragrant little pillow...

She plunged headfirst into that gentle haven and couldn't pull herself away.

"You little rascal!"

"I brought you here to help me rank up, not to take a nap!"

Ji Fengyu had no choice. With Gu Yue in his arms, he didn't know whether to sit or stand.

Sigh!

He really was indebted to this dragoness!

In the end, Ji Fengyu summoned the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python again, found a secluded spot, and let it coil around Gu Yue to guard her while he went off to solo queue.

"Hmph!!"

With a shake of his mighty frame,

a hazy layer of protective qi appeared around Ji Fengyu, as if he'd been outlined in gold.

His entire bearing changed.

He'd been noble and graceful before. Now he was fierce, domineering, and awe-inspiring!

Yellow! Yellow!

Two Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet. The First Soul Ring lit up, and the Dragon-Snake Transformation skill activated.

Ji Fengyu's aura climbed even higher.

Whoosh!

His agile figure shot forward like a leopard. He grabbed a century-old Soft Bone Rabbit and crushed it dead in one hand!

"This is the kind of fighting I love!"

Ji Fengyu savored his strength, feeling intoxicated. Playing support all the time was suffocating.

This was the life he loved!

Rrrip!

Ji Fengyu suddenly exerted himself and burst out of his clothes.

His perfect muscles, like those of an ancient Greek statue, lay neatly arranged beneath his jade-like skin, as if carved from flawless jade.

Boom!!!

Ji Fengyu slammed a Great Dark Bear to the ground and killed it with a rear naked choke. It turned into pure energy and surged into his body.

Ji Fengyu got to his feet, grinning with satisfaction.

And then...

he saw Gu Yue staring at him, utterly dumbfounded.
