Ice Fire Dragon King Soul Rings, Gyarados!

The two kinds of spring water in that pool were extremely dangerous. Even Dugu Bo himself, a Titled Douluo, probably would not last long if he fell in. Now that Lu Yi had jumped directly into the water, Dugu Bo could not see the slightest hope of his survival.

"Damn brat!"

Staring at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, where only a few ripples remained, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and shouted.

Lu Yi was the only person Dugu Bo had encountered in all these years who dared to claim he could cure the poison afflicting his granddaughter. Although Dugu Bo doubted his abilities, it still counted as a sliver of hope.

But now, Lu Yi had taken that hope and jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, a place certain to bring death. It drove Dugu Bo nearly mad.

Fortunately, after his emotions gradually settled, Dugu Bo spotted Lu Yi's unconscious body slowly sinking through the water.

Seeing the unconscious Lu Yi underwater, Dugu Bo condensed a giant hand from Soul Power, intending to pull him out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. Yet the moment his Soul Power touched the spring water, it instantly dissipated.

Thus, Dugu Bo could only stand helplessly on the shore and watch Lu Yi slowly sink. Only after Lu Yi vanished into the spring water did Dugu Bo let out a sigh. He went back to arrange food for Dugu Yan and Wang Shu, then returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and waited stubbornly on the shore.

In his view, since Lu Yi had not been reduced to ashes by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, he certainly could not die from something as trivial as drowning. If Dugu Bo waited by the shore, perhaps one day Lu Yi would come back up.

Meanwhile, Lu Yi knew nothing of Dugu Bo's situation. After enduring a period of icy and fiery forces clashing within his body, he felt comfortably warm all over and soon drifted into a deep, sweet sleep, allowing the medicinal effects of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to transform his body.

As the sleeping Lu Yi sensed two figures, one icy and one fiery, fly into his body, he began to dream a strange dream.

The dream began with two giant dragons falling to the ground and forming a wondrous spring. From the perspective of an observer, Lu Yi watched the past of the two dragon souls. When they had first fallen into the earth, the dragon souls had been filled with unwillingness.

They wanted to revive, to return to what they had once been. Perhaps because they had suffered injustice before their deaths, the two dragon souls were entwined with immense resentment.

But as the saying went, time could dilute everything. If it could not, then not enough time had passed. No one knew how long it had been—perhaps a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand, or even longer. Long enough for the resentment in the dragon souls to gradually fade; long enough for their unwillingness to slowly turn into numbness; long enough for rare Immortal Herbs to grow beside the spring where not even a blade of grass had once survived.

Long enough for someone to suddenly jump into the spring, carrying a strange Martial Soul within his body.

Faced with this little person who had shattered the tranquility of countless millennia, the two dragon souls, whose consciousness had been worn away by the passage of time, slowly swam toward him. They were then drawn into his body, forming a bright red-and-blue disc resembling a taiji symbol.

Lu Yi watched the entire process of the two dragon souls from their birth to their fusion as an observer. Just as he was about to approach and inspect what that disc was—

The dream suddenly shattered. Lu Yi woke up and looked around. When he found no trace of the two dragon corpses from his dream, he slowly swam toward the surface.

He already knew what his dream had been about. Although he really wanted to dive down and see whether the two dragon corpses contained god-level Soul Bones—

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye in the dream was a full ten thousand zhang deep. His physique was not strong enough to withstand the water pressure at such depths, and the two dragon souls in the dream had flown into his body and fused with him on their own.

Therefore, after looking around and finding no dragon corpses nearby, Lu Yi decided to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye first. He did not want Dugu Bo to think he had died after being in the spring for too long and kill Wang Shu to vent his anger.

However, as Lu Yi swam, he felt Magikarp continuously sending him messages. It seemed to be saying that it was about to explode and that Lu Yi needed to release it quickly.

After understanding Magikarp's meaning, Lu Yi was utterly bewildered. Could the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot also help increase Soul Power?

But Tang San did not seem to have gained Soul Power from them in the original story.

Although Lu Yi was confused, he sensed Magikarp's messages becoming increasingly urgent and summoned it anyway.

The moment Magikarp appeared, it carried Lu Yi onto its back and swiftly swam toward the surface of the spring.

Feeling Magikarp's speed grow faster and faster, Lu Yi could only cling tightly to its dorsal fin to avoid being thrown off.

"Roar!"

With an enraged roar, Magikarp burst out of the water and transformed into a blue giant dragon, soaring into the sky.

"Ha ha ha! Gyarados! Magikarp evolved into a dragon!"

Sitting atop Gyarados's head, Lu Yi looked down at the giant dragon beneath his feet, at least sixty meters long and bearing yellow, blue, and red Soul Rings, and let out an exhilarated shout.

He truly had not expected the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King to fuse into Gyarados's second Soul Ring. He felt it might be related to his dream, but he had no time to examine it now. Since things had come to this, he might as well be wildly arrogant for a while.

"Brat, I knew you weren't dead!"

At that moment, Dugu Bo, who had been waiting on the shore of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, was drawn over by the commotion Lu Yi had caused. Seeing Lu Yi, naked and riding a dragon through the air, he hurriedly flew toward Lu Yi and Gyarados.

"Gyarados, use Flamethrower!"

Watching Dugu Bo rush toward him, Lu Yi carefully sensed the abilities Gyarados shared with him after absorbing its second and third Soul Rings, then immediately shouted his command.

He wanted to see just how destructive Gyarados was after absorbing two god-level Soul Rings.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by Gyarados's furious roar, a pillar of fire more than three meters thick shot directly toward Dugu Bo.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Serpent Constellation Heavenly Shield!"

Watching the pillar of fire attack him, Dugu Bo did not dare to be careless against this monster that had emerged from that terrifying spring. He immediately unleashed his defensive Soul Skill.

"Bang!"

The massive pillar of fire struck Dugu Bo's shield with a tremendous boom. Although Dugu Bo successfully blocked Gyarados's Flamethrower, he looked at his shield in horror. Several tiny flames had ignited upon the jade-green barrier.

Those flames were small, but they truly existed and continued burning without pause. Clearly, it was only a matter of time before they burned through his shield.

If Lu Yi were a few levels higher, Dugu Bo did not dare imagine the outcome. At the very least, his Serpent Constellation Heavenly Shield would likely not be able to block Lu Yi's Flamethrower so easily.
