Master-Servant Contract! Dugu Yan's Fourth Ring Is a Hundred Thousand Years Old. A Trial Run-Please Follow!

The process of accepting the existence of a parallel world had not been all that peaceful.

Dugu Yan's eyes widened. She looked from one to another of the three men, bewildered and incredulous. "So your name is Ozka? Not Oscar?"

"Mm."

"And you're Feng Xiaodi? Feng Xiaotian's doppelganger?"

Feng Xiaodi nodded with a smile.

"Gulp... You're Dugu Xue... my grandfather from another world?"

Dugu Xue stroked his beard kindly. "All right, let's save the rest for later. Come here. Grandpa has a gift for you."

At that, Dugu Yan nervously glanced at her own grandfather, Dugu Bo. Only after he nodded did she walk over.

Dugu Xue took a glass bottle from his Storage Soul Tool. Runes covered its surface, as if sealing something inside.

"Break!"

Dugu Xue tapped the bottle with a finger, shattering it. A Flood Dragon over ten meters long appeared out of thin air before them.

"This is..." Dugu Bo's heart jumped, and he instinctively moved to shield Dugu Yan.

"Whoa!"

Ozka cried out, "Your Excellency, why did you bring him here? Would carrying him in a Storage Soul Tool through the World-Crossing Gate use up more energy?"

"I don't know."

Dugu Xue replied, then looked at the sleeping Flood Dragon on the ground. "Earth Dragon, wake up."

His voice boomed like thunder. The Earth Dragon slowly woke, raised its head, and looked around. "Lord Dugu, where is Little Dragon?"

"It talked!" Dugu Yan exclaimed. "A h-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast!"

"It is indeed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Dugu Xue smiled and continued his introduction. "After enjoying the treatment provided by the Immortal Court, this Earth Dragon broke through the hundred-thousand-year threshold. But once he broke through, he got carried away and ravaged a village, killing more than thirty people. According to the laws of the Immortal Court, a crime like that warrants the death penalty!"

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon lowered its head even further. A plaintive look appeared in its lively eyes as it muttered defensively, "It was an accident!"

Thump!

Dugu Xue rapped the Earth Dragon on the head, exasperated. "Even if it was an accident, it still happened! Everyone has to pay for their mistakes!"

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon pouted and didn't dare say anything more.

Only then did Dugu Xue continue. "Emperor Qingtian took pity on how difficult it had been for him to cultivate, and the incident truly hadn't been intentional. So he gave him a second chance. If he can help a genius become a god, he'll have a chance to come back to life!"

"Help a genius become a god? How?" Dugu Bo had a bold guess, and his heart leaped with excitement.

"By sacrificing himself and becoming the Soul Spirit of a Soul Master!"

"Soul Spirit? What's that?"

"That's rather complicated. You don't need to know for now. Come, just use your spiritual power to leave a mark here." Dugu Xue took another sheet of parchment from his Storage Soul Tool. It looked like ordinary parchment.

"Oh..." Dugu Yan did as he was told, easily leaving a mark on the parchment with her spiritual power. What is this? How amazing!

Dugu Xue glanced at the parchment, then turned to the Earth Dragon. "Now, you can sacrifice yourself."

"Gulp..."

That gulp came from Dugu Bo beside them. His heart pounded wildly, threatening to leap from his throat. He was so nervous he could hardly stand it. Only one thought filled his mind: Yan'er's fourth ring... a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! And she'll get a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, too!

Boom!

A blazing red light surged up from the Earth Dragon. Dugu Xue swept one hand through the air, and a barrier formation hid the red glow. Not a trace of it could be seen from outside.

Ozka said enviously, "Sigh... Why wasn't I born with that kind of luck? A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrificing itself! Poor me, I still haven't even been allocated a single Soul Bone..."

In the Immortal Court, hunting Soul Beasts was illegal!

And the Soul Bones that had existed before the continent was unified had all been absorbed by the older generation of Soul Masters!

Every year, some Soul Beasts died naturally or in fights in the Star Dou Forest and the Sunset Forest. The resulting Soul Bones were pitifully few, and Ozka hadn't been allocated one. Besides, even if he had been, he would still have had to pay an enormous sum of Gold Soul Coins! Coming from an ordinary background, Ozka simply couldn't afford it.

Feng Xiaodi patted Ozka on the shoulder and gave a bitter smile. "Don't stand there sighing. I'm about to break through to Titled Douluo, and I still don't have a Soul Bone either."

"Sigh... Some people are just lucky! They've got a doppelganger grandfather who's a High Priest... Wait, Your Excellency, did you use your position to settle a personal favor? Can you really just hand out a Hundred-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon's Soul Ring and Soul Bone like this?"

"Ahem..."

Dugu Xue coughed awkwardly twice, then explained, "The overall strength of Douluo World No. 1 is too low. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that were originally meant to attract powerful people would have had no purpose here, so I gave one to her. Mm, I admit I had a bit of a personal motive, too."

Dugu Bo immediately cupped his hands. "Thank you!"

"No need to thank me. She's half my granddaughter, too. I couldn't bear to watch her suffer from the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison... After the Earth Dragon's sacrifice, her Martial Soul will evolve, and she won't have to suffer from the snake poison anymore."

Ozka and Feng Xiaodi opened their mouths, but in the end neither said a word. Their eyes, however, were full of envy!

If they could get a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone at their fourth ring, they'd laugh themselves awake from their dreams.

The sacrifice lasted for about an hour.

Dugu Yan came out of meditation and cried excitedly, "Thank you, Second Grandpa!"

"Second Grandpa? Good, good! You can call me that." Looking at the face that was 99 percent identical to his granddaughter's, Dugu Xue couldn't bring himself to object.

He was, without a doubt, a granddaughter fanatic.

Dugu Bo eagerly asked, "Yan'er, quickly, let Grandpa see your Soul Rings."

"Sure!"

Yellow, yellow, purple, red. Four Soul Rings rose from beneath Dugu Yan's feet. Behind her stood a Green Phosphorus Flood Dragon with four limbs. It looked a little like a mishmash of different creatures, but it was undeniably a genuine Flood Dragon.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Hiss... Her Soul Power fluctuations are actually at level fifty!"

Tears streamed down Dugu Bo's face as he asked excitedly, "Yan'er, the Soul Bone! What part of the body is it from?"

"The Earth Dragon senior gave me a torso bone!"

As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, the Earth Dragon's ghostly soul drifted out from between her eyebrows. It said respectfully, "Master, you don't need to call me senior. Just call me Little Dragon."

"Huh?" Dugu Yan froze, then hurriedly shook her head. "I'd rather call you senior. My grandfather taught me from a young age to be polite. Though sometimes I'm not polite at all..."

Dugu Yan could be a little spoiled, but deep down, she was still very likable.
