Feeling the argument raging inside his mind, Yu Tianshuo realized that something was wrong.
He tried to focus his consciousness and enter his sea of consciousness.
Yu Tianshuo felt as though his soul had left his body. In an instant, he entered a vast, boundless ocean in spirit form.
There, he saw two figures.
At first, they argued. Then the red-haired one was clearly outmatched by the blue-haired one.
Before long, their argument turned into a brawl.
Watching the scene, Yu Tianshuo was utterly dumbfounded.
He could only stare as the two strange fellows who had appeared in his sea of consciousness went from punching each other with all their might to pulling hair and poking fingers up each other's noses. Finally, both of them kicked at their opponent's most vulnerable spot.
"Yikes—!"
Just watching made Yu Tianshuo suck in a sharp breath. He could practically feel the phantom pain.
He instinctively covered his crotch and took several steps back.
But the two of them paid no attention to what Yu Tianshuo was doing.
They just clutched their crotches and rolled around on the ground.
Yu Tianshuo said nothing, only slowly edging away from the two fellows who looked completely deranged.
He wondered if his luck could get any worse. Two suspected perverts had shown up in his sea of consciousness, and he didn't even know whether the book on medicinal herbs mentioned a way to deal with soul perverts.
Just as Yu Tianshuo was still thinking of a way to handle the two weirdos, the red-haired one called out to him.
"Hey, you over there! Don't just stand and watch! Come help me beat this guy up!"
"Don't listen to that idiot. Do what I say and kick him down there twice. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I won't possess you, and I'll let you live."
Seeing the two of them each clutching their crotches with one hand and propping themselves up with the other, Yu Tianshuo had to admit their threats had absolutely no credibility.
So he immediately mocked them.
"Couldn't you stand up before making threats like that? You really don't look intimidating at all."
Although the red-haired man was still in a sorry state, he spoke with an air of arrogance.
"What would a brat like you know? Don't you realize how much of an honor it is to be possessed by us noble Dragon Kings?"
The blue-haired man chimed in.
"What an ignorant brat. Being chosen by the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King is a blessing that takes several lifetimes to earn."
"Now hurry up and obediently give up resisting. Let us possess your body."
Only then did the two of them help each other to their feet.
But seeing their legs still shaking, Yu Tianshuo could only rub his forehead and sigh.
It would be a lie to say Yu Tianshuo wasn't nervous.
But being scared by these two clowns would be downright humiliating.
He sighed and didn't waste any more time.
He immediately activated Martial Soul Possession with his Golden Scale Dragon martial soul, ready to show the two of them what it meant to take advantage of someone while they were down—and what a cheap shot looked like!
His figure flashed forward, closing in on the Ice Dragon King, whose legs were shaking the worst.
He kicked the Ice Dragon King in the crotch, then unleashed a flurry of attacks on his weak spot.
"Putting on airs? I'll make you take to the skies!"
The Ice Dragon King rode the force of Yu Tianshuo's kick and went flying.
After hitting the ground, he foamed at the mouth. He looked as if he might not make it.
"Third Brother!"
The Fire Dragon King's cry of alarm drew Yu Tianshuo's attention to him.
Under that predatory gaze, the Fire Dragon King felt a chill in his lower body.
He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Don't get cocky, kid. Though I may have lost my old body, the Dragon Might in my soul isn't something a brat like you can—"
Before the Fire Dragon King could finish, Yu Tianshuo flashed away, instantly appearing behind him.
As the Fire Dragon King stared in horror, Yu Tianshuo spoke right beside his ear.
"I told you: putting on airs? I'll make you take to the skyyyy!"
"Ahhhhhhh—!"
As the Fire Dragon King fell beside the Ice Dragon King, Yu Tianshuo walked behind the Ice Dragon King once more.
Then he launched another round of Weakness Strike!
The Fire Dragon King clutched his nearly shattered pride and quietly shuffled backward.
He was truly scared now. At first, they had treated the situation like a bit of horseplay.
They had thought the newly arrived brat wasn't much to worry about. They figured they could deal with him after they finished "discussing" that female dragon with Third Brother.
They had never imagined the kid would be this terrifying.
His physical strength and speed aside, they could have managed the same if they still had bodies.
But when he unleashed Dragon Might, the kid could still move freely—it didn't affect him at all. That was the truly terrifying part.
The memories from before he was absorbed seemed to still be right before his eyes. He should have known.
Even if he and Third Brother had ultimately concluded that this kid wasn't the Golden Dragon King, he should still have had a powerful bloodline, one that could help either of them revive.
Well, there went any hope of revival. Aside from their Dragon Might, which represented their status as Dragon Kings, they had no means of dealing with this kid at all.
Now all he could do was pray that, after beating them up, the kid would spare their lives.
Just as the Fire Dragon King curled up and lamented how hard life as a dragon was, the voice coming from behind him made his blood run cold.
"So you're the one who told me not to get cocky, huh?"
The Fire Dragon King began to tremble all over. Then, completely shamelessly, he turned around and forced out a strained smile at Yu Tianshuo.
"If I said that because the guy next to me talked me into it, would you believe me?"
Yu Tianshuo smiled at the Fire Dragon King and said something that made him stiffen from head to toe.
"Of course. No problem, Lord Fire Dragon King. After I'm done sparring with you, you can go tell that to the other guy."
Every word came through Yu Tianshuo's clenched teeth. With each syllable, the Fire Dragon King's eyes grew a little dimmer.
Before he was kicked flying, the last thing the Fire Dragon King heard was:
"Lord Fire Dragon King, I'm coming in!"
After half an hour of "friendly exchanges,"
the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King finally realized their mistakes and recognized just how low their level of ideological awareness was.
After Comrade Yu Tianshuo's "earnest and heartfelt guidance" and "tender, attentive care,"
the two of them had endured the pain and learned from it, recognizing their mistakes.
They resolved to willingly devote themselves to furthering Comrade Yu Tianshuo's strength.
Yu Tianshuo watched the two fellows with a broad smile and asked the question that had puzzled him from the start: why had they appeared in his sea of consciousness?
But both gave the same answer.
"We don't know. After you absorbed us, we blinked and suddenly we were here."
Then, worried Yu Tianshuo might be dissatisfied and give them another round of "ideological education," they hurried to add:
"But we can still be useful to you. As Elemental Dragon Kings, we can teach you how to control the elements. Within our respective elements, no one except the Silver Dragon King can surpass us."
As they spoke, they lifted their chins proudly.
Looking at the two blockheads, Yu Tianshuo gave them each a sharp rap on the head. But before he could say anything else, he sensed someone outside calling for him.
He warned them again that if they caused trouble, next time he'd give them another "ideological education" lesson.
Then he let his consciousness rise and returned to his body.
