Dragon Transformation; Subdue Demons and Suppress Monsters

The blood-colored soul ring was drawn before Lu Heqiu.

The Azure Blood Dragon Beast's unyielding remnant soul let out continuous roars, impacting Lu Heqiu's Sea of Consciousness.

Let alone Lu Heqiu, who was experiencing it firsthand.

Even Ma Xiaotao, standing beside him, felt a slight discomfort.

This mental impact was far more powerful than when she absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

If not for Yan Shaozhe protecting her, Ma Xiaotao would have long collapsed on the ground, unable to even move simply. Yet, the figure seated within the flesh and blood remained steady as a mountain, showing no sign of wavering against such an impact.

As the soul ring merged with the soul power, it drilled directly into Lu Heqiu's Sea of Consciousness along the source of the soul power.

The moment the remnant soul entered, its arrogant aura vanished instantly, unable to utter a single sound. It was stunned; even a Titled Douluo specializing in spiritual attacks wouldn't possess such a vast Sea of Consciousness.

Yet, a mere child had achieved all this.

That vast expanse of golden ocean was countless times larger than the Lake of Life in the core region. Nine Lightning Chains floated in the air, trapping the phantom. The phantom, which had been unable to move, subtly curved its lips upwards upon seeing it arrive.

It was the embodiment of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

But what it faced...

was simply a Deity!

The Nine Lightning Chains emanated heavenly might, suppressing the remnant soul completely before it could even make a move. The figure seated in the void above lightly twitched its left hand.

A chain shattered it with a roar, turning into countless specks of blood-red light that drifted towards Lu Heqiu.

This was the soul ring's energy.

As long as the Martial Soul absorbed this energy, it could completely condense a soul skill.

Lu Heqiu had waited for this moment for a long time!

Elder Mu had slightly broken the first seal, he himself had absorbed the Azure Blood Dragon Beast's soul bone, and this remnant soul had still foolishly barged into his Sea of Consciousness.

There was no reason for failure, no matter what.

This soul ring... was already in Lu Heqiu's grasp!

Elder Xuan, outside, his gaze flickered. He could see the soul ring integrating into Lu Heqiu's body, signifying the imminent success of the soul ring absorption!

What a monster, what a monster!

He would never have imagined, even if he were beaten to death.

That Lu Heqiu could actually successfully absorb this soul ring!

And this was only his first soul ring.

Both the soul ring and soul bone were hundred-thousand-year.

This meant that at the first ring, Lu Heqiu possessed four soul skills, all of them hundred-thousand-year skills. How could his peers possibly fight him?

No! Lu Heqiu was only half a year old; his peers hadn't even awakened their Martial Souls yet. There was no way they could possibly contend with him. This brat... had truly become a monster!

Yan Shaozhe's thoughts, however, were entirely different from Elder Xuan's.

Elder Xuan was contemplating where to hide his old face, but Yan Shaozhe looked further into the future. Lu Heqiu's first soul ring was already hundred-thousand-year.

His second, third soul rings couldn't possibly be worse than the first, could they?

In the future, he would need to absorb at least eight more soul rings, and these eight soul rings would be at least hundred-thousand-year!

This...

Yan Shaozhe glanced towards the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, his worry no longer concealable. Would this provoke a counterattack from those Fierce Beasts?!

Or perhaps...

In the future, there would be one more who would become Lu Heqiu's soul ring!

Who would be responsible for hunting them then!?

Yan Shaozhe's shock had yet to subside when Lu Heqiu, who had been seated, opened his eyes. The soul ring before him vanished once more, completely integrating into Lu Heqiu's body like the soul bone.

His eyes took on strange colors.

The left side was still golden yellow, born from the absorption of the soul bone, while the right side was blood-red, appearing after the soul ring's absorption. His body grew again, looking no different from a three or four-year-old child.

His clothes were all torn apart by his growth, and even the act of standing up appeared so skilled, no longer stumbling.

Lu Heqiu had completely broken through the first seal!

He had regained control of his body.

Although the lower half of his body still retained human instincts, at least he wouldn't crawl onto Ma Xiaotao in the middle of the night anymore.

And there was no need to worry about food.

He could eat the same things as Ma Xiaotao and the others.

"Let's go!"

"Let's get out of here first!"

Yan Shaozhe took out a piece of clothing from his Soul Tool and draped it over Lu Heqiu, then ascended into the sky with the two of them. This was, after all, the inner region, where powerful soul beasts could appear at any moment.

Besides.

Who knows if the Lord of Soul Beasts would make a move against them?

Even Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe combined wouldn't be enough to fight it.

The four hurried towards Shrek Academy. After completely leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Yan Shaozhe finally spoke to Lu Heqiu, asking, "Little one, what are your four Soul Skills?"

Lu Heqiu sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness. He had been so focused on unlocking the power of the first seal that he had forgotten to feel the Soul Skills brought by his Soul Rings and Soul Bones. In this world, Soul Skills were clearly more important.

After a brief inspection, disappointment flickered in Lu Heqiu's eyes. Clearly, he was not satisfied with these accompanying Soul Skills at all.

"The two skills from the Soul Bone are Dragon Transformation and Domain."

"Dragon Transformation can strengthen my physical body by thirty percent and increase all-around attributes by twenty percent when cast."

"Domain... when cast, it can suppress all living beings. The suppression effect decreases with the difference in level. If it were this sister... it would be a fifty percent suppression of all attributes."

"If it were Dean Yan, it would probably be good enough with ten percent."

As Lu Heqiu spoke.

Xuan Zi froze.

A full attribute increase, coupled with full attribute suppression that could even suppress Super Douluo, and this kid was disappointed?!

If it could truly suppress at the same level, then this Soul Bone would at least allow Lu Heqiu to remain undefeated among Soul Masters of the same rank, and even challenge higher ranks.

This kid was actually... disappointed?!

Xuan Zi wanted to slap the back of this kid's head right then and there.

But driven by curiosity, he held back, only asking with annoyance.

"What about the Soul Rings?"

Lu Heqiu briefly organized his thoughts and spoke again.

"The Soul Rings are even worse."

"They are basically all Soul Skills related to the body."

"Subdue Demons and Suppress Monsters."

Lu Heqiu said listlessly. Beside him, Xuan Zi could barely listen. It was natural for the Body Martial Soul to hunt for Soul Rings related to the body. Otherwise, did you expect your Body Martial Soul to directly unleash Unfixed Waves?

"Kid, stop the nonsense."

"Just attack me directly so we can see."

"It's inherently difficult to understand the Body Martial Soul just by talking, let alone when it's your first time hunting for Soul Skills. It's strange if you can explain it clearly!"

Xuan Zi stopped in mid-air, the Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul appearing on him, his gaze fixed on Lu Heqiu.
