Top-Tier Suppression from the Human Emperor Banner; Breaking Through to Soul Douluo

Having completed the absorption of the dragon soul, Jiang Li was quite satisfied at this moment. He was truly looking forward to the marvelous uses his Human Emperor Banner would manifest once he claimed the system's rewards.

Currently, after his Human Emperor Banner collects a fated individual, it can slowly refine their origin power, converting it through special rules into nourishment to boost his own strength.

Furthermore, once those fated individuals are fully refined and summoned back as his puppets, their strength is equivalent to his own as the host.

"Sigh, This Seat is truly looking forward to it more and more!"

"Hehehehehehe—"

Although Jiang Li becomes somewhat manic whenever he uses his Human Emperor Banner, he considers it a minor issue; mere fluctuations in his state of mind could never shake his firm resolve to attain godhood.

If the Angel Clan were to see him in his current state, they would undoubtedly label him a fallen soul master and hunt him down.

But then again, Jiang Li mused that these foolish natives would mistake his cool Human Emperor Banner, which radiates Grandmist Purple Qi, for the extremely evil Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and he would not care for their ignorance or offense.

If they have anything to say, they can enter his banner and discuss it together.

Hehehehehehe—

Returning to the surface, Jiang Li discovered that Tang San still needed time to refine the immortal herb, so he prepared to head back to the bottom of the spring to begin absorbing the two dragon bones.

Before doing so, however, he noticed that Tang San had left the River of Oblivion Autumn Water Dew on the bank, thoughtfully attaching a small note with instructions on how to absorb it.

"Tsk, this kid."

The more Jiang Li looked at his disciple, the more satisfied he felt; look at how considerate he was!

Without hesitation, he dripped a few drops of the River of Oblivion Autumn Water Dew into his eyes.

In an instant, he felt his mind become remarkably clear.

His spiritual power also seemed to have significantly improved.

Following this, he adjusted his state to its peak, and once his mind was as calm as a mirror, Jiang Li entered the spring once more.

With a gentle movement of his intent, the Human Emperor Banner trembled slightly!

Two dragon bones radiating extreme ice and fire power floated out slowly. The extreme icy blue and crimson brilliance on the bones intertwined, as if two extreme attributes were silently confronting each other, yet were forcibly locked into the same vessel by some power!

The next instant, Jiang Li raised his arms, his soul power quietly surging through his meridians!

He guided the two soul bones dropped by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings with his intent. With a low "hum," the dragon bones accelerated instantly, pressing toward his left and right arms with scorching pressure.

The power of ice and fire erupted the moment they made contact, as if trying to tear his arms apart from the inside.

Jiang Li frowned slightly but did not retreat; instead, he actively mobilized the soul power within his body, suppressing the two diametrically opposed dragon auras firmly within his meridians.

"Truly a beast, daring to resist!"

Following Jiang Li's angry shout, his Human Emperor Banner began to shake irregularly.

Streams of red and blue origin power were continuously extracted from the bodies of those two vengeful dragon souls, attaching themselves to his arms in a special form.

Even though the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had been dead for many years, they were, after all, genuine divine beasts.

Those high-level powers that transcended the scope of soul masters were not something he could absorb as he was now.

Trying would be suicide.

Extracting this origin power now was merely to better assist himself in absorbing the soul bones.

The two dragon bones, which had been restless within Jiang Li's body, instantly became quiet upon sensing that origin power, allowing Jiang Li to complete their absorption.

Time passed slowly...

Just as the dragon bones were about to fully fuse, an extreme chill and scorching heat surged onto his shoulders and back simultaneously, as if trying to split his upper body in two!

Jiang Li let out a low grunt, gritting his teeth to endure, and forcibly locked the two soul bones into their corresponding positions.

Hum—

A powerful dragon aura and soul power fluctuation began to erupt in all directions, and the previously calm spring water began to boil!

Jiang Li's soul power surged in one go to the 80-level bottleneck; with the addition of just one soul ring, he could become a genuine Soul Douluo powerhouse!

Returning to the surface, he felt as if his entire body had been baptized.

The feeling of possessing such surging power was simply too intoxicating!

"Congratulations, Master, on your strength advancing once again!"

The moment Jiang Li emerged, Tang San was the first to step forward and offer his blessings.

Under his perception, the majesty radiating from his master from time to time was far greater than before, bringing him a shock akin to a mayfly witnessing the vast blue sky!

"Little San, it seems your harvest this time is also quite significant."

Tang San scratched his head sheepishly; he knew how massive the changes were after completing the absorption of the immortal herb.

His previous malnourished appearance had vanished. Now, he possessed long blue hair, his facial contours had become much softer, and even his soul power had reached the 20-level bottleneck.

"Master, I discovered that my Blue Silver Grass martial soul seems to have undergone some changes!"

Tang San said excitedly, raising his right hand, where a Blue Silver Grass martial soul full of life force swayed in the air.

The silver veins on his Blue Silver Grass had completely turned golden, which also meant that the royal bloodline within his martial soul had been thoroughly activated through the power of the immortal herb, completing the transition from Blue Silver Crown Prince to Blue Silver Emperor.

"Master, I feel that mysterious calling I experienced last time growing even stronger."

Tang San finished expressing his feelings, his young face filled with confusion.

He looked at his master with eager anticipation, seeking an answer; in his understanding, his master was omniscient and omnipotent, surely capable of resolving his doubts.

Jiang Li: ...

He clearly remembered telling Tang San previously that he still wasn't entirely sure what that sensation of his was all about.

But looking at the intense thirst for knowledge in Tang San's little eyes right now...

"Little San, you know that for a Spirit Master, both Beast Spirits and Plant Spirits can basically find corresponding Spirit Beasts, right?"

Tang San nodded, and Jiang Li continued, "Within the Spirit Beast clan, no matter the species, there exists a king for every race."
