He could clearly feel that his body had undergone a tremendous change.
First was his Soul Power.
After his Martial Soul evolved, his Soul Power had surged, breaking through directly from level eleven to level twenty.
But now, simply evolving his Martial Soul had been enough to do it.
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon truly lives up to its name as the strongest dragon." Yu Hong sighed inwardly.
Aside from the increase in Soul Power, he could feel another change.
A strange energy was gathering in his head.
The energy was gentle yet powerful. It slowly converged around his skull, forming a special structure.
"This is... a skull?" Yu Hong was a little surprised.
He carefully sensed it and found that it really was a skull.
"A Soul Bone?" Yu Hong frowned. "No, this isn't a Soul Bone. Soul Bones have to be obtained from Soul Beasts, but I condensed this skull myself."
He continued sensing it, trying to figure out what the skull did.
A moment later, his eyes snapped open, a hint of delight flashing in them.
"So that's how it is!"
The skull granted him the ability to focus his mental power absolutely.
When he activated the skull, his mental power would enter a state of extreme concentration, unaffected by any external interference.
In this state, his thoughts would speed up considerably, and his perception of the surrounding environment would become much more acute.
More importantly, after activating the skull, his eyes would turn into Dragon Pupils.
Dragon Pupils could see through concealment and illusions. No invisibility technique or illusion could escape their sight.
"Too powerful!" Yu Hong couldn't help exclaiming.
The skull's abilities seemed tailor-made for battle.
Absolute focus would let him stay calm in combat, undisturbed by any outside factors.
And the Dragon Pupils would let him see through every trick his enemies tried, leaving him invincible.
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon truly is the strongest Martial Soul." Yu Hong was filled with joy.
He tried activating the skull, and the next moment, his eyes changed.
His originally black pupils turned a deep blue, their shape shifting from round to the vertical slits of a dragon's eyes.
Through his Dragon Pupils, the world looked different.
Every corner of the room, every detail, was clearly visible to him.
He could even see tiny specks of dust floating in the air and faint cracks in the wall that were impossible to notice with the naked eye.
"So this is what Dragon Pupils can do?" Yu Hong murmured. "Incredible."
He withdrew the Dragon Pupils, and his eyes returned to normal.
This was the first gift Blue-Eyes White Dragon had given him.
As Yu Hong was immersed in his delight, he suddenly felt another change within his body.
A strange energy was gathering around his dantian.
What was this...? Yu Hong quickly focused his awareness on his dantian and sensed it carefully.
The next moment, his expression became utterly astonished.
A white stone was slowly taking shape in his dantian.
It looked exactly like his original Martial Soul.
The White Stone of the Ancients!
"What's going on?" Yu Hong stared in disbelief. "Hasn't my Martial Soul already evolved into Blue-Eyes White Dragon? Why has another White Stone of the Ancients appeared?"
He carefully sensed the White Stone of the Ancients and found that it was somewhat different from his previous Martial Soul.
The previous White Stone of the Ancients had been the body of his Martial Soul, containing the power of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
But this new Primordial White Stone seemed more like a... vessel.
"Could it be..." A thought flashed through Yu Hong's mind. "Is this White Stone of the Ancients meant to hatch another Blue-Eyes White Dragon?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon was a dragon-type Martial Soul, and dragons were all born from eggs.
His Martial Soul had initially taken the shape of an egg before hatching into Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Now another Primordial White Stone had appeared inside him. It was very likely meant to hatch a second Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"If that's really the case..." Yu Hong's eyes lit up.
A single Blue-Eyes White Dragon was already powerful enough. What if he could have two, three, or even more?
Wouldn't his strength multiply?
"Primordial White Stone..." Yu Hong murmured.
He recalled how the previous Primordial White Stone had hatched.
He had continuously nourished it with Soul Power, and then absorbed the energy of a Soul Ring, before the Primordial White Stone finally hatched into Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
The same principle should apply to this new Primordial White Stone.
"Looks like I'll have to work even harder at cultivation and absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring next time." Yu Hong made up his mind.
With his body's current strength, absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring would be easy.
He no longer needed to hide his talent. He could attribute everything to Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Early the next morning, Yu Luomian sent someone to fetch Liu Erlong and her mother.
The place where Liu Erlong lived was rather far away. It would take about half a month to get there on horseback.
Yu Luomian had specially sent his most trusted subordinate to fetch them. He had also prepared a comfortable carriage and some gifts.
"Remember, treat Erlong courteously," Yu Luomian instructed him. "She's my daughter. Make sure that woman is treated well, too."
"Yes, Vice Clan Leader." The subordinate accepted the order and left.
Watching his subordinate depart, Yu Luomian smiled.
"Yu Hong, Yu Hong, I hope you don't disappoint me," he said softly.
At the same time, Yu Hong also received an invitation from Yu Luomian.
"The Vice Clan Leader wants me to go to his courtyard?" Yu Hong was a little puzzled.
They had just met yesterday, and now they were meeting again. What was so urgent?
Still, Yu Luomian had done him a favor, so he couldn't refuse.
"All right, I'll go now." Yu Hong changed into clean clothes and headed for Yu Luomian's courtyard.
When he arrived, he saw Yu Luomian sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea with a kindly smile on his face.
"Yu Hong, come sit," Yu Luomian called.
Yu Hong walked over and sat across from him.
"What did you want to see me about, Vice Clan Leader?" Yu Hong asked.
"Nothing major," Yu Luomian said with a smile. "I just wanted to have a chat with you and tell you some good news."
"Good news?"
"That's right." Yu Luomian nodded. "The Clan Leader has ordered that, starting today, you'll receive cultivation resources at the highest standard for a clan heir."
Yu Hong was slightly taken aback, then understood Yu Yuanzhen's intentions.
Yu Yuanzhen was trying to win him over.
After all, his Martial Soul was Blue-Eyes White Dragon, with limitless potential.
Yu Yuanzhen didn't want him to leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so he was giving him the best treatment.
"Please thank the Clan Leader for me," Yu Hong said calmly.
He didn't have much regard for Yu Yuanzhen, but he wouldn't turn down resources offered to him.
When it came to cultivation resources, the more the better.
