The Possibility of the Radiant Sacred Dragon's Second Evolution

"Teacher, your injuries have fully recovered!" Yan Shaozhe said, unable to hide his excitement.

"Mm, I have completely returned to my peak," Mu En said with a smile.

"That's wonderful!"

The other Sea God Pavilion elders breathed a collective sigh of relief upon hearing Mu En's definitive answer.

Bei Bei was equally overjoyed. With Mu En fully restored to his peak state, he trusted that even if they faced an invasion by Evil Soul Masters in the future, they would no longer be forced to fight until their last breath.

"Medical Immortal Douluo, This Humble One has one more request I hope you can grant: please do not let word of today's events spread," Mu En said to Wang Xian'er.

"This old woman understands," the Medical Immortal Douluo nodded slightly.

"You have worked hard today. Xuan Zi, please escort the Medical Immortal Douluo to get some proper rest," Mu En said.

Shortly after, under Xuan Zi's guidance, the Medical Immortal Douluo left the area, eager to find a place to attempt a breakthrough in her cultivation.

"Bei Bei, you have helped me a great deal, so I have a gift for you." Mu En turned to look at Bei Bei, and a bead as white as jade appeared in his palm.

"This is..." Bei Bei's gaze was instantly drawn to it; he could feel it brimming with the aura of the dragon race and the power of light.

"Years ago, I obtained this light-attribute Dragon Core from a ruin. After I became a Titled Douluo, it helped me rapidly increase my cultivation," Mu En explained. "Now that I have returned to my peak, this Dragon Core is of little use to me, but it may be of immense help to you."

Bei Bei knew well that a Dragon Core was an energy body that only gradually condensed after a True Dragon reached adulthood. It contained the bloodline and the origin power of a True Dragon, making it extremely precious.

Yan Shaozhe, standing to the side, added, "I have discussed this with Teacher. If you can absorb and fuse with this Dragon Core, your Radiant Sacred Dragon Martial Soul has a high probability of undergoing a second evolution, gaining the attribute of Ultimate Light."

His disciple, Ma Xiaotao, had already broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm. As her strength increased, her Evil Fire became increasingly violent, to the point where she could no longer cultivate for long periods.

However, Ma Xiaotao was stubborn by nature and refused to slow down her cultivation speed, which frequently caused her Evil Fire to spiral out of control.

Ma Xiaotao was no longer suited to stay in the Outer Court; if she lost control, she could easily harm other students.

For this reason, Yan Shaozhe had brought her back from the Outer Court to stay in the Inner Court, where he could supervise her cultivation.

The reason Yan Shaozhe cared so much for Ma Xiaotao was perhaps to make up for a regret from his youth.

When he was young, he had a lover named Feng Ling. The two had dated for three months and shared deep feelings.

In the end, Feng Ling's Evil Phoenix Martial Soul suffered an outbreak of evil energy, and she attempted to devour Yan Shaozhe's Martial Soul. After a fierce battle, they parted ways, and she fell completely into the path of evil.

Yan Shaozhe did not want Ma Xiaotao to repeat Feng Ling's mistakes, so he was particularly desperate for her to completely resolve the flaws in her Martial Soul.

"Bei Bei, this matter is of great importance; you must consider it carefully. If you choose this path, there is a certain chance of failure. Once it fails, the energy within the Dragon Core will be completely wasted."

Mu En continued, "Of course, you could also choose not to use the Dragon Core's energy for evolution, but instead absorb it to increase your cultivation. In that case, your strength would rise directly to the Titled Douluo level in a very short time."

Bei Bei faced two choices. The first was to go all-in, using the origin power within the Dragon Core to force his Radiant Sacred Dragon Martial Soul to evolve; if he failed, the energy would be exhausted.

The second was to use the power of the Dragon Core to boost his soul power, which would accelerate his cultivation speed and ensure he faced no bottlenecks until he reached the Titled Douluo level.

Upon hearing this, a flash of excitement crossed Bei Bei's eyes, and he did not hesitate for a moment.

"Great-Grandfather, I want to use the Dragon Core to trigger a second evolution of my Martial Soul," Bei Bei said with a firm tone.

"Good. Whatever choice you make, the Academy will support you with all its might." Mu En nodded with satisfaction, handed the Dragon Core to Bei Bei, and instructed, "Bei Bei, you can first take the Dragon Core into your body and use your own aura to nourish it."

Mu En warned, "However, absorbing the Dragon Core is no easy task; the energy it contains is still vast for you. When nourishing it, you must not be overly hasty; you must proceed step by step. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me for help at any time."

"Yes, Great-Grandfather, I will remember that," Bei Bei replied firmly.

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Bei Bei returned to his room.

He began to carefully sense the origin power within the Dragon Core inside his body.

His own power and the origin power of the Dragon Core blended continuously, as if they were naturally of the same root and origin.

The origin energy within the Dragon Core was pure and peaceful; over the hundred years Mu En had spent with it, the hostility within the core had been completely worn away, leaving it as vast as the ocean.

Bei Bei did not rush to evolve his Martial Soul, but instead immersed himself completely in sensing and communicating with the power inside the Dragon Core.

Threads of gentle origin energy overflowed from the Dragon Core, slowly merging into his body and nourishing his Martial Soul.

The origin power within the Dragon Core resonated strongly with the light attribute of his Radiant Sacred Dragon Martial Soul; every fusion made his Martial Soul purer and stronger.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed during Bei Bei's calm cultivation.

During this time, with the aid of the Dragon Core, his cultivation speed was astonishing.

Now eleven years old, his cultivation had already broken through to level forty; he was only one soul ring away from becoming a Soul Ancestor.

Bei Bei slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body.

After a year of cultivation, the Dragon Core could be said to be completely in tune with his heart and mind.

Bei Bei was also prepared for the Martial Soul evolution. Over the past year, he had discussed and researched the matter many times with Mu En and Dean Yan, eventually finding the best feasible method.

To evolve his Martial Soul again, he had to completely integrate the Dragon Core into the origin of his Martial Soul, thereby achieving a transformation from a quantitative change to a qualitative one.

However, the origin of a Martial Soul was extremely fragile. If he forced the Dragon Core to merge with it, it might trigger violent resistance, and if the origin suffered any damage, he would never have another chance to evolve.

Therefore, they decided that when Bei Bei absorbed his fourth soul ring, he would simultaneously absorb the Dragon Core, using that opportunity to complete the Martial Soul evolution.

A Soul Master could only attach nine soul rings in their lifetime, and each time they absorbed a soul ring, it was an enhancement and elevation of their own Martial Soul origin.

The origin of Bei Bei's Radiant Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was already of the highest bloodline; trying to improve it even slightly was incredibly difficult.

Only by causing the origin energy within the Dragon Core to erupt all at once could he help his Martial Soul origin undergo a qualitative change.

Only then would he have a sliver of a chance to advance to a God-level Martial Soul, the Radiant Dragon King, and become a powerful existence capable of controlling Ultimate Light.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan walked in and said gently, "Bei Bei, Mu En has summoned you; it seems something has happened."
