She bit her lip, torn between two choices.
The pride in her bones made her resist, but her craving for strength was stirring.
In the end, she gave in, though she still wouldn't let him have the last word.
"Hmph! I'll do you a favor and reluctantly agree, but don't think you can—"
[Ding! Successfully took Bai Chenxiang as a disciple. Reward: Martial Soul—Gemini Star Dragon!]
The instant the system notification sounded, Bai Chenxiang shuddered all over.
She stopped mid-sentence, her pupils suddenly contracting.
A surging force burst from within her, and electricity seemed to course through every limb and bone.
Her delicate body beneath the purple dress trembled uncontrollably, and even her twin ponytails stood on end.
"Mm... What... is this...?"
She groaned, her eyes widening as her little mouth formed an "O."
A ball of purple light gathered in her left palm, taking the shape of a tiny dragon.
In her right palm, another ball of light shimmered blue-green, with a second dragon coiling within it.
The twin dragons roared in response to each other, and powerful Soul Power rippled outward.
Bai Chenxiang was stunned, her mind a blank.
"T-Twin Martial Souls?"
She murmured, her voice trembling.
She'd only ever heard of them in legends. Now it had actually happened to her!
She lowered her head and stared blankly at her hands. The dragon shadows danced in her palms, filling her with a strength she'd never felt before.
"This... This is my Second Martial Soul!"
She abruptly looked up at Yu Xiaolong, her expression impossibly complicated.
She was shocked and overjoyed, with a stirring she couldn't quite put into words.
Just who was this man?
She'd only just agreed to become his disciple, and he'd already bestowed an incredible opportunity upon her.
"Just for becoming your disciple... you gave me this?"
Bai Chenxiang's thoughts were in turmoil.
When she looked at Yu Xiaolong again, even his cool, indifferent face didn't seem so annoying anymore.
"Hmph! At least you know what you're doing. I'll... I'll remember this favor!"
She turned her face away. Her voice was still haughty, but her ears had quietly turned red.
The Soul Power just now had torn a small hole in her purple dress, leaving the collar slightly open.
She didn't notice at all, too caught up in the elation of gaining a Second Martial Soul.
A breeze stirred. Through the gap in her collar, a glimpse of her delicate, fair collarbone appeared.
Faintly, through that opening, one could make out the youthful yet already full curves of her chest.
It wasn't overwhelming, but it was firm and lifted, like a freshly ripened peach, radiating enticing vitality.
Her long, slender legs pressed straight together beneath her skirt. Her calves were shapely, without an ounce of excess flesh.
Her bottom curved up slightly. Even beneath the purple dress, its rounded, lifted outline was visible.
As she spun around excitedly, her skirt fluttered, and her pert backside swayed lightly, its curves full of spring.
"Old geezer, as if you don't have ulterior motives!"
Huo Wu caught up and happened to see the scene. She pursed her lips and gave a quiet scoff.
She also noticed Bai Chenxiang's open collar, and a glimmer of amusement flashed through her eyes.
This girl was so careless she didn't even realize she'd exposed herself.
Huo Wu's eyes swept over Bai Chenxiang as she silently appraised her.
Her breasts weren't large, but they had a pretty shape, like plump peaches. Her youth and firm figure made up for their size.
A slender waist and long legs—she was a beauty in the making.
That haughty personality, though. Tsk.
She folded her arms and leaned against a tree trunk, deliberately not warning Bai Chenxiang.
She wanted to see how long it would take this proud little peacock to notice she was showing a little skin.
Suddenly, Huo Wu's attention was drawn to the twin dragons in Bai Chenxiang's palms.
She looked at Yu Xiaolong, a strange light flickering deep in her eyes.
This man was like a bottomless pit. Every time, he managed to surprise her.
While the two girls were occupied with their own thoughts, the system notification sounded beside Yu Xiaolong's ear once more.
[Ding! Successfully took the third disciple. Soul Ring reward: Ultimate Winged God Dragon!]
Three rings of light suddenly blazed beneath his feet.
Red! Red! Red!
Three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings appeared at once, their terrifying pressure spreading like a tangible force.
The air froze. Soul Beasts within a hundred meters fled in a frenzy.
Huo Wu and Bai Chenxiang both stiffened, forgetting even how to breathe.
"Three... Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings..."
Huo Wu's voice was hoarse, her beautiful eyes wide open.
Her own talent was exceptional, and she'd been proud of having a thousand-year Third Soul Ring.
But this man before her had three, and every one was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
Could a person really reach such heights?
Bai Chenxiang's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
At last, she understood how ridiculous she'd been just moments ago.
She'd called herself a genius and looked down on him.
But in truth?
She wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes.
"His Third Soul Ring... What terrifying dragon might..."
Bai Chenxiang managed to steady herself, her pretty face deathly pale as she looked at the third Soul Ring beneath Yu Xiaolong's feet.
That Soul Ring was reddish purple, with the phantom of a winged dragon circling within it. Its aura far surpassed that of the other two.
She couldn't sense its exact age, but instinct told her that this Soul Ring was terrifying beyond measure.
At that moment, the entire Star Dou Great Forest trembled before the Soul Ring.
Soul Beasts cowered, flocks of birds scattered into the sky, and it was as if doomsday had arrived.
Only Yu Xiaolong himself knew the age of the Ultimate Winged God Dragon Soul Ring.
Third Soul Ring, age: 390,000 years!
Like his Second Soul Ring, it had reached the terrifying threshold of nearly 400,000 years.
At the same time.
His Soul Power Level rose by eight levels.
He smoothly reached Level 62, a Battle Soul Emperor!
He lifted his eyes and looked at the two girls.
Huo Wu's words were tough, but her heart was soft. Her eyes betrayed her shock, no matter how much her lips protested.
Her ample chest rose and fell sharply, and her tight red battle outfit traced out an astonishing curve.
As she walked, her full breasts swayed slightly, like ripe peaches—heavy and firm, inviting the imagination.
At that moment, her red lips parted. She seemed to want to say something harsh, but not a word came out.
Bai Chenxiang bit her lip, and a tiny teardrop finally rolled down her cheek.
It wasn't because she felt wronged. She was simply helpless after being utterly crushed.
But soon, she stubbornly wiped the tear away and looked Yu Xiaolong in the eye.
"You're strong, I'll admit that. But one day, I'll catch up to you!"
Her voice still trembled with tears, but her eyes burned with an unyielding flame.
Yu Xiaolong's lips curved slightly. This little peacock really did have a bit of backbone.
He put away his Soul Rings, and the pressure receded like a tide.
The forest fell silent again, but the hearts of the two girls had been thrown into turmoil.
Bai Chenxiang lowered her head to fix her purple dress, only to realize that her collar was slightly open.
"Ah!" she cried, frantically covering her chest. Her face turned scarlet in an instant.
"You! Were you looking just now?!"
She glared at Yu Xiaolong, mortified and furious.
"Looking at what?"
Yu Xiaolong's expression was calm, his gaze as still as an ancient well.
"You..."
Bai Chenxiang was so angry she couldn't speak. But she didn't dare make a scene, so she could only stamp her foot in frustration.
The stomp sent her skirt fluttering, revealing her long, fair legs once more.
Her thighs were firm, her calves smooth, her ankles slender—the perfect legs to admire for a lifetime.
Huo Wu gave a mocking laugh and walked over, deliberately moving close to Bai Chenxiang.
"Not bad, little girl. You've developed nicely."
As she spoke, her full chest nearly brushed against Bai Chenxiang's arm.
Bai Chenxiang jumped away as if shocked by electricity. Her face turned even redder, like a boiled shrimp.
"You... What nonsense are you talking about! I... I haven't at all!"
