Li Yusong's Martial Soul's First Evolution: Little Azure Dragon Staff!
(This book made it through the trial recommendation promotion and ranked second! It won't be dropped; I'll keep writing it, so everyone can read without worry. Many thanks to all my generous supporters! This little nobody is endlessly grateful!)
(This little nobody hopes some blogger friends can help promote this book. I would be extremely grateful!)
With one strike of the staff, a fifty-thousand-year Dragon Pattern Tiger was sent straight to the afterlife.
Li Fei withdrew the Azure Dragon Staff, and a black Soul Ring condensed around the Dragon Pattern Tiger's body.
Li Yusong stepped forward, sat cross-legged, drew the Soul Ring into his body, and began absorbing and refining it.
The other three stood guard nearby.
Before their eyes, Li Yusong's body gradually swelled. His skin reddened, tiny blood vessels burst open, steam rose from him, and sweat streamed all over his body. He looked as though he was in great pain.
The veins beneath his flesh also bulged at that moment.
"This is a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring after all. He'll be alright, won't he?" Zhao Wuji asked worriedly.
After all, even his and Flender's seventh Soul Rings were only around forty thousand years old.
Li Yusong was directly absorbing one at the absolute upper limit of fifty thousand years. Ordinary people simply could not endure that.
"There shouldn't be a problem. These initial reactions are normal. He just needs to pull through," Flender said, sweating nervously.
He looked toward Li Fei and was surprised to find the boy exceptionally calm, without the slightest sign of concern.
That was because Li Fei knew Li Yusong had absorbed a great deal of Whale Rubber, and his heart's blood had also helped strengthen Li Yusong's body. Absorbing a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring would definitely not cause any trouble.
He simply did not know whether the Dragon Pattern Tiger would produce any spiritual resentment.
Suddenly, he sensed an unusual movement from the dragon pattern within Li Yusong's Dragon Pattern Staff. It gave off a faint azure glow that resonated with the bloodline within his body.
As time passed, Li Yusong's Dragon Pattern Staff underwent a visible transformation. Rather than a mutation, evolution was perhaps the more appropriate term.
Any Martial Soul stained with the blood of the Eastern Azure Dragon would undergo sublimation.
Perhaps it had not been so obvious before, but now, with the absorption of the seventh Soul Ring unlocking the Martial Soul Avatar ability, Li Yusong's Dragon Pattern Staff had completely undergone its first evolution!
A powerful dragon's roar rang out, and dragon might spread through the area.
The dragon pattern on the staff had turned azure. Though it was not the Eastern Azure Dragon's pattern, it was dozens of times stronger than the previous miscellaneous dragon pattern!
It was an azure dragon, but not the Eastern Azure Dragon.
You could understand it as the first generation of bloodline-descendant dragon patterns from the Eastern Azure Dragon.
Even if it was merely a bloodline-descendant dragon pattern, its might was utterly incomparable to before, and its potential was terrifying.
It could also be called the Little Azure Dragon Pattern, the Little Azure Dragon Staff!
This Dragon Pattern Staff had now surpassed the Coiling Dragon Staff in grade. It contained a trace of divinity and could be considered a Demigod Level Martial Soul!
Once it underwent a second evolution, it would surely become God Level, perhaps even Supreme God Level!
Let us wait and see!
"Old Li's Martial Soul mutated?" Flender and Zhao Wuji also noticed it, their faces filled with horror and shock as they froze in stunned disbelief.
"The Dragon Pattern Staff can evolve?"
"And why does the aura on it resemble Little Fei's Dragon Pattern Staff so much? They're both azure, though it seems to be quite a bit inferior to Little Fei's."
Flender adjusted his glasses and muttered with wide eyes.
"Perhaps we've all underestimated the Dragon Pattern Staff. Martial Souls come in all sorts of strange forms. In the past, no Dragon Pattern Staff wielder had cultivated to Soul Saint, so no one discovered this difference. Now that there is one, we can be considered the first witnesses."
Zhao Wuji sighed.
Li Fei explained, "Your guesses aren't wrong. You can understand my Martial Soul as an innate mutation, while my grandfather's Martial Soul underwent an acquired mutation due to external influences."
"My friend has conducted a great deal of research on Martial Souls. Perhaps he'd be very interested in your Martial Souls. Would you like him to study them?"
Flender looked at Li Fei as he spoke.
Li Fei frowned. "Please keep this matter confidential and don't tell anyone else. Let nature take its course. Our Martial Souls have their own unique qualities, and we won't let outsiders study them."
Flender could tell that Li Fei seemed particularly repulsed by Yu Xiaogang, so he did not bring it up again. Besides, he was going to Heaven Dou City this time to poach that man's people. When they met in the future, things would only be awkward between them.
Li Fei said, "Uncle Flender, Yu Xiaogang is ultimately an outsider. We are the ones on the same side. I don't want our achievements to be freely enjoyed by him if he ever comes in the future."
"Ah, I understand, Little Fei." Flender sighed and nodded.
He and Yu Xiaogang were no longer on the same path.
Though he still retained a faint attachment to their former friendship, that was all.
During this time, Li Fei had specifically used Yu Xiaogang's affairs to brainwash Flender, wanting him to develop resentment toward that useless man so that he would not hand over everything his own side had to the other party.
As a transmigrator, Li Fei truly disliked Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
Those two were genuinely disgusting.
Buzz!
At that moment, powerful Soul Power fluctuations erupted from Li Yusong's body.
A deeply colored black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring appeared around him.
Immediately afterward, the six Soul Rings below it also appeared.
Yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black!
Upon closer inspection, the colors of his Soul Rings startled Flender and Zhao Wuji.
They remembered that Li Yusong's first Soul Ring had been white, not even a hundred years old, while his second Soul Ring had been yellow. But now, his first Soul Ring had turned yellow, his second had turned purple, and his third and fourth Soul Rings had become exceptionally deep in color! The three black ten-thousand-year Soul Rings behind them were the same!
This also meant that the Martial Soul's mutation had raised the ages of his Soul Rings!
Li Yusong now ranked among the very best of seven-ring Soul Saints.
With such a powerful Dragon Pattern Staff, even against a Soul Douluo, he would not be without the strength to fight!
Li Fei merely remained calm in the face of this change.
It was as if everything that happened had been within his expectations.
"Congratulations, Grandpa. You've truly become a Soul Saint!"
"I wonder what level your Soul Power has reached now?"
Li Fei stepped forward to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Old Li!"
"Our lineup has gained another Soul Saint. Our strength and status have both greatly increased!"
"Haha, Shrek Academy now has three Soul Saints! What a joyous occasion!"
Flender and Zhao Wuji hurried forward as well, laughing heartily.
"After absorbing this fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring, my Soul Power has risen to Level 73!"
Li Yusong carefully sensed the Soul Power fluctuations within himself, his face lighting up with delight.
After carefully sensing it themselves, Flender and Zhao Wuji also showed astonishment. "It really is Level 73!"
Ordinary people generally only gained one level upon absorbing their seventh Soul Ring, reaching Level 71.
Even among the more talented ones, only a very small number could reach Level 72.
Yet Li Yusong had unexpectedly gained three levels at once, reaching Level 73!
That saved him one or two years of arduous cultivation!
After all, once one reached Soul Saint, every additional level was extremely difficult to achieve!
