Holding the Snow Jade Crown, Bei Bei examined the Soul Bone and sensed that a dragon soul lay hidden within it.
This dragon soul could not even be called a remnant soul. It had no awareness at all—just a wisp of lingering obsession.
Only by earning its recognition could someone perfectly absorb the Nine True Dragon Crowns.
But Bei Bei did not need to go through all that trouble. His Martial Soul was the Radiant Dragon King, whose powerful dragon aura was exceptionally compatible with this Soul Bone.
After thinking it over, Bei Bei decided the Soul Bone suited him very well. After all, it was a fragment of the Radiant Dragon King's Soul Bone, and its power shared the same source as his own.
With that thought, Bei Bei found a clean spot and sat down cross-legged.
Bei Bei began absorbing the Head Soul Bone.
Brilliant golden light burst forth and instantly flowed into Bei Bei's head.
The absorption went smoothly. Bei Bei could feel that the origin of his Radiant Dragon King Martial Soul had grown stronger.
His Spiritual Power, Soul Power, attributes, and Soul Skill might all increased significantly.
Bei Bei slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "The dragon bore nine sons, each enthroned upon a mountain. Each mountain held a crown; nine crowns became one!"
As his words fell, the eight subsidiary peaks around the Nine Dragon Mountains exploded with a roar. Eight streaks of light flew toward Bei Bei, transforming into fragments of Soul Bone that hovered around him.
Such a tremendous commotion naturally drew Yu Yuanlong's attention from outside.
"This is... Looks like Bei Bei succeeded!" A hint of delight flashed in Yu Yuanlong's eyes.
Bei Bei did not absorb the eight fragments of Soul Bone. Instead, he stored them all in his Storage Soul Tool.
The information he had gained after absorbing the Snow Jade Crown revealed that perfect use of the Snow Jade Crown required a powerful dragon origin and abundant Bloodline Power.
Since the Nine True Dragon Crowns were made up of broken Soul Bone fragments, they were incomplete. Dragon-type Soul Masters had to offer their flesh and blood as nourishment to unleash the power of the Nine True Dragon Crowns.
The amount of Bloodline Power required was immense. Even a Titled Douluo would struggle to endure it.
But Bei Bei had nothing to worry about. His Radiant Dragon King Martial Soul had already made his physique far stronger than an ordinary person's, and his Bloodline Power was even more robust.
As long as he became a Titled Douluo, he would naturally be able to use the Nine True Dragon Crowns perfectly without suffering their backlash.
After obtaining the Nine True Dragon Crowns, Bei Bei left.
When he emerged from the Nine Dragon Mountains, he ran straight into Yu Yuanlong, who had hurried over.
"Bei Bei, how did it go?"
Although Yu Yuanlong knew Bei Bei had succeeded, he still wanted to hear him say it himself.
"I did it! I got the Nine True Dragon Crowns." Bei Bei activated the Head Soul Bone, and a platinum crown appeared around his forehead, gleaming brilliantly.
"Good! Good! That's wonderful!" Yu Yuanlong was filled with relief. A full ten thousand years had passed, and at last, someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had once again earned the recognition of the Nine True Dragon Crowns!
"Bei Bei, there's still plenty of time. Would you like to visit the clan?" Yu Yuanlong asked.
"Sure!" Bei Bei nodded without refusing.
He was quite interested in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After all, the clan had been terribly unlucky.
It had been wiped out by Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. Just when a few bloodlines had managed to survive, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be destroyed again by the Sun Moon Empire in a little over a decade. If there was one word for it, it was "tragic"!
After several days on the road, a towering city appeared ahead. It could not compare to Shrek City, of course, but it was still magnificent.
This was Dragon City, a major city where the Heaven Dou Empire bordered the Far North!
It had earned its name from the large number of dragon-type Soul Masters who lived there.
The two strongest forces in the city were naturally the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect had been founded by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Most of the dragon-type Soul Masters there possessed true dragon bloodlines, and many of them were powerful.
By comparison, the Earth Dragon Sect was a step behind. Most of its disciples were earth dragon-type Soul Masters who could not fly, and its sect leader, Nan Shuishui, was only an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect occupied the southern part of Dragon City, while the Earth Dragon Sect occupied the north. The two had their share of friction, but most of the time they kept to their own sides.
Yu Yuanlong brought Bei Bei into the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Many sect disciples greeted Yu Yuanlong, while casting curious glances at Bei Bei.
They wondered why the mere sight of Bei Bei stirred their Martial Souls, making them feel an inexplicable urge to submit.
Bei Bei's dragon bloodline was so powerful that even without revealing his Martial Soul, his body constantly exuded a faint dragon might.
It exerted a clear suppressive effect on dragon-type Soul Masters who were weaker than him and whose Martial Soul bloodlines were inferior.
They passed through the mountain gate and entered the main hall of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Many people had already gathered there, all of them senior figures and elders of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
"Sect Master, who is this?" An elderly man came forward and asked, looking at Bei Bei.
"This is Bei Bei, Mu En's great-grandson and a member of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan," Yu Yuanlong introduced.
"So he is Mu En's descendant. No wonder he has such extraordinary talent!"
Praise rang out through the hall, though it was all due to Mu En's reputation. That showed just how highly he was regarded within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"There's something else I need to announce today." Yu Yuanlong stepped into the middle of the group and declared loudly, "The clan's lost treasure, which has been missing for ten thousand years, has been obtained by Bei Bei. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will surely reclaim the glory we enjoyed ten thousand years ago!"
"Really? That's wonderful!"
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has hope of rising again!"
"Heavens are blessing our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Excited voices rose one after another.
As everyone talked, a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect came in and reported, "Reporting to Father and the elders: guests from the Earth Dragon Sect have arrived."
"This is my son, Yu Tianlong," Yu Yuanlong introduced.
Bei Bei looked at him. Yu Tianlong was very tall, a full head taller than Bei Bei, with a sturdy build and a sharp gaze.
Though he was only twelve, the aura around him was astonishingly domineering.
Yu Tianlong looked back at Bei Bei. His pupils contracted as if he had sensed something, leaving him somewhat incredulous.
Bei Bei smiled, gave a slight nod, and greeted him.
Just then, an elder said quietly to Yu Yuanlong, "Sect Master, a few days ago the Earth Dragon Sect proposed that the young disciples of our two sects hold a friendly sparring match, to encourage everyone to train harder."
Yu Yuanlong nodded, then turned to Bei Bei and invited him, "Bei Bei, there'll be a sparring match with the young disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect shortly. Why don't you watch with us?"
"Sure!" Bei Bei nodded without refusing.
He happened to be very interested in both sects.
Yu Yuanlong led everyone to a Soul Fighting Arena that had already been prepared.
