System-chan looked at the cup pushed in front of her. The miniature dragon inside was curiously looking at her through the "cup wall".
She paused for half a second, then stretched out her hand and picked up the cup. Her movements were still with an inhuman precision, imitating Long Jinyu's usual behavior, bringing the rim of the cup to her lips, tilting her head slightly, and taking a sip.
"Zi... buzz..."
The sound of energy overload came from her body, and those gold and silver pupils shone brightly at that moment, as if countless star matrices were rapidly flowing and reorganizing inside. She froze for a moment, and the light blue data stream around her body flickered on and off several times unsteadily.
"... Ultra-high purity life source energy is detected... active factors and dragon vein coercion Simulation signals are connected... Sensory Simulation subsystem feedback, the taste module loads the 'extremely mellow', 'layered explosion', 'soul tremor' default files... The correlation of the emotional auxiliary module is increased: sense of belonging +35%, pleasure +40%... Warning, some sensory neurons have a slight overload tendency... are being optimized..."
System-chan spoke quickly and poured out a long list of real-time analysis data. Finally, his voice gradually lowered, and the bright light in the heterochromatic pupils slowly converged and returned to a clear appearance.
She blinked, looked down at the remaining glow in the cup, then looked up at Long Jinyu, who looked expectant and curious, and then broke into a sweet smile.
"... Host, thank you."
Her voice softened a lot, "It's indeed... very good. The database has been updated with the 'Top Satisfaction' sample."
Long Jinyu Looking at her confused and happy look, he also laughed.
"That's right! Good things taste better when shared together!"
After saying that, he held up his own bowl with great grace, took a deep breath of the mellow fragrance that made the pores of his body relax, and took a small sip carefully.
"Wow... cool!"
As the liquid entered his throat, Long Jinyu couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment.
Under the wash of the nine-colored rays of light, his whole body seemed to melt into the feeling of ultimate comfort. He sank deeper into the soft wicker chair and tasted this unparalleled wine in small sips. He felt that his body was lighter, his soul was more transparent, and his connection with the energy of the surrounding world became clearer.
System-chan looked at the host's pleasure and relaxation. In the core of the data, the index of "satisfaction" quietly climbed a few points. She silently noted the positive changes in the host's physical and mental indicators after drinking "Dragon Source Marrow Essence" and prepared to update the optimized supply protocol.
When the jade bowl bottomed out, the last trace of the nine-colored ray of light sank into Long Jinyu's body together with the phantom of the little dragon. He felt an unprecedented sense of completeness and energy, and his condition was even better than before the injury.
Yu watched from the side with a smile. Seeing that his breathing was completely stable and his eyes were clear again, he spoke slowly, "My lord, your condition has recovered and you can think about business. After you successfully integrate 'Candlelight', Soul Power will definitely break through the fifty-level barrier. At that time, the Dragon God Bloodline dormant in your body will naturally lead to the resonance of the laws of heaven and earth, and condense the fifth Soul Ring for you."
Long Jinyu nodded, as expected.
"But--"
She changed the subject slightly, with a solemn look in her emerald eyes, "Level 50, for ordinary Soul Master, may be just the step to enter the palace. But for you, who has the highest bloodline, its meaning is much more than that. If you want to truly hold power in the future and be proud of the world, there is a link that is indispensable at this time and must lay the foundation stone."
"Oh? Indispensable?"
Long Jinyu sat up straight, with a vague guess in his mind.
"That's right, host."
System-chan took over the conversation and unfolded a light screen in front of him, which listed complex energy models and breakthrough processes, with a positive tone of "I finally came in handy."
"According to the Douluo Continent optimal Soul Master growth model database, the key window for energy materialization in the Douluo II period is in the Titled Douluo stage. The Douluo Dalu III period ten thousand years later has been advanced to Soul Saint, and as you, who is carrying Dragon God Bloodline, this node is directly advanced to the Soul King realm."
"So, your next task sequence is very clear and interlocking: first, successfully absorb 'Candlelight' Head Soul Bone; second, use the power of Soul Bone to induce blood, obtain the fifth Soul Ring, and officially break through to the Soul King realm; third, and the most critical step -"
She paused, then tapped her fingertips lightly, and the core of the energy model on the light screen suddenly lit up, converging into an energy vortex that was constantly compressing and rotating.
"--At the moment when Soul Ring is achieved and the resonance of the laws of heaven and earth reaches its peak, use the origin of 'Candlelight' as fuel and the boiling 'dragon blood' as the furnace to combine the vast Soul Power brought by Soul Bone with the power of your own bloodline. Compress and temper to create your own... the first Soul Core! If this is done, the quality, total quantity, recovery speed and control of the energy of heaven and earth of your Soul Power will all make a qualitative leap, far exceeding those of the same level!"
After System-chan finished speaking, his eyes were filled with expectant information, as if he was waiting for the host's praise - look, the plan I gave is so standard, efficient, and has great prospects!
"First Soul Core???"
Long Jinyu Although I had a premonition, I was still shocked when I heard it with my own ears.
Soul Core, that is the symbol of high-end Soul Master and the foundation for reaching the top! Condensing the first Soul Core in the Soul King stage is definitely a feat that will shock the past and the present!
But then, he put down the jade bowl, and he and Yu looked at each other, with a slightly helpless and "sure enough" look on their faces.
Long Jinyu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "System Treasure..."
"Huh? Host, do you have any questions? The model has been used Simulation one hundred thousand times, and the success rate can reach 78.5% with the blessing of your current bloodline. It is an excellent solution." System-chan tilted his head in confusion.
"It's not about the success rate."
Long Jinyu put down his hand and looked at her, "It's your database. It may be missing the core advancement path information about 'Dragon God' and its direct bloodline. What you gave is the 'best universal solution' that is applicable to human Soul Master, and even most 'god-level' Martial Soul Master."
The data flow in System-chan's eyes froze for a moment. "... missing? Impossible. This system contains most of the public and non-public training system data in this world. The Soul Core system is one of the verified peak paths."
"It is one of them, but it is not the only one, let alone the one that is most suitable for the Lord."
Yu spoke now, her voice cold and determined. She waved her hand gently, and another larger light screen on the main console lit up silently.
The picture flowed and quickly locked on a strange place - it was a red and blue spring water divided like Taiji Diagram. The hot and extremely cold atmosphere were completely opposite, but they coexisted in strange harmony, emitting a dreamlike aura of light and mist. On the shore of the spring, the exotic flowers and plants were so lush that they were not like the human world.
The screen zoomed in, near the core of the spring, a black-haired boy was sitting cross-legged, the aura around his body resonating with the spring water, rising slowly. And beside him, there was a strange little cute thing floating: a big head, round blue eyes, windy ears, the iconic pig nose, three stubborn strands of light yellow hair on the top of the head, the whole body covered with fine colorful scales, short limbs, and cute little claws.
At this moment, this strange little thing had a serious look on its face, waving its little claws, stimulating the majestic and pure life energy in the spring water, slowly injecting it into the young man's body in a mysterious trajectory, helping him to undergo some deeper and more essential absorption and transformation. The process was complex and exquisite, far beyond simple energy compression.
The picture is frozen here. The wonder of the ice and fire spring and the way the strange creatures channel energy are full of intuitive impact.
Long Jinyu stared at the light screen, a glimmer of understanding flashed deep in his pupils.
As Transmigrator, he naturally recognized the iconic red and blue spring, and instantly understood the identity of the boy and the strange little beast in the picture - that was the trajectory of future time and space 20,000 years later, and was a scene on another tributary of Dragon God Bloodline.
He was not surprised by the content of the picture. With Yu's personality and ability as Nine Dragon God Guards, it seemed reasonable to be able to observe and even record some key moments of fate. What he was even more impressed by was Yu's attentiveness.
"Amazing, Sister Yu. Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the magical place where the life essence of heaven and earth meet... You can actually capture this."
Yue smiled calmly and did not take credit, "Relying on the partial permission of this space and the main system, we can glimpse some clearer 'imprint' fragments in the long river of time and space. This scene can be used as the most intuitive reference."
