Jade Dragon-Slayer

"I have a dragon-type martial soul bloodline in my body?" Lin Yuan asked, feeling the power within him with a sense of bewilderment.

"Although it is very thin, it is not non-existent."

"Dragon-type martial souls are top-tier beast martial souls by nature. The destruction attribute I have added to you has already reached the limit of this world's rules. In the future, try your best to absorb soul rings from dragon-type martial soul beasts to make up for the shortcomings in your bloodline. This way, you can give birth to a martial soul that possesses both the ultimate destruction attribute and a powerful dragon bloodline."

Lin Yuan nodded in realization; he couldn't even imagine how strong this martial soul would be once it fully took shape.

With such a powerful ultimate destruction attribute, he could even set his sights on Di Tian for his ninth soul ring.

"But Teacher, dragon-type soul beasts are already rare. Dragon-type soul beasts with destruction attributes are even harder to find. I fear my future soul rings will become a major problem."

"There is no need for that," the God of Destruction said in a calm tone.

"You just need to focus on improving your dragon bloodline. Any other attributes or impure bloodlines carried by those dragons will be stripped away automatically when you absorb their soul rings. You only need to focus on absorbing true dragon bloodline soul beasts as much as possible."

"It's that strong?!" Lin Yuan was dumbfounded.

Looking at Di Tian now, he even felt the dragon looked quite pleasing to the eye. Would it be too much to absorb Di Tian for his ninth soul ring?

And that big mother dragon wouldn't be a bad choice either; one couldn't find a purer blooded dragon in the Douluo Continent than her.

This left Lin Yuan in a dilemma: was it better to have a dragon wife by his side, or a dragon wife hanging on his body?

It was such a difficult choice.

Lin Yuan immediately retracted his martial soul and began to sense the other power within his body.

A soft, verdant green light appeared, and upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a sword that looked like it was carved from emerald jade.

Its name appeared in Lin Yuan's mind, and he stroked the blade, whispering its name.

"Jade Dragon-Slayer."

"Yes, that's right. This sword is the martial soul you were supposed to awaken," the God of Destruction said.

"I have bound the Seed of Life to your martial soul, which not only gave it life-healing attributes but also brought a significant improvement to its base stats."

"Based on this fundamental ability alone, the offensive power of your Jade Dragon-Slayer does not lose to any top-tier martial soul."

Lin Yuan was stunned. In other words, even without its massive inherent life attribute, this sword reached the ranks of top-tier martial souls based purely on its base stats.

This in itself was a more unreasonable existence than any top-tier martial soul.

Almost all top-tier martial souls possessed one or two special talents; wasn't it terrifying enough that a blank-slate weapon could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them?

"Does this mean that my sword can be treated like an ordinary sword martial soul, and I can attach attack-attribute soul rings to it?"

"...Theoretically, yes. In any case, you don't need to worry about attribute-related abilities. Both your teacher and I possess top-tier elemental capabilities."

"However, I still want you to develop various ways to utilize the life attribute. It is perfectly fine for you to pursue the path of an offensive swordsman as well."

"Furthermore, you have accepted the inheritance of both of us. This is equivalent to automatically obtaining our divine trials."

"Once your cultivation reaches the Title Douluo level, you can complete our trials to unlock my divine equipment and the life divine equipment."

What the God of Destruction did not reveal was that the divine equipment would have to be forged by Lin Yuan himself.

The divine equipment had already been destroyed during the sacrifice in the space-time turbulence, leaving only fragments of the components behind.

However, the divine artifacts still existed. Although only the cores remained, one could simply use a high-quality material for the handle of the Scepter of Destruction to make it usable again.

"Teacher is above, please accept another bow from your disciple." Lin Yuan knelt down and bowed to the God of Destruction.

It was not an exaggeration to show such great respect to the God of Destruction, who had passed on his lineage and essentially granted him a new life.

Even in this era, he now had the capital and confidence to contend with Tang San.

"Very well, good disciple."

Although he wasn't as cute as he had hoped, the God of Destruction was quite satisfied with this disciple.

The disciple of his dreams should have been a lively girl like Tang San's daughter, Tang Xiaoqi.

However, he had discovered in despair that at some point, Tang Wutong was no longer that Tang Xiaoqi.

Although the God of Destruction felt in every sense—both in appearance and behavior—that Tang Wutong was indeed Xiaoqi, his soul kept denying it. Many times, he felt a secret sense of desolation because of this.

After all, she was Tang San's daughter, and it was not his place to interfere too much.

"I will conceal your aura of destiny once more so that the old dog Tang San does not notice you. You should develop in secret here in the Douluo World. When you reach a certain level, I will help you break through to the divine level and seek the help of the God Realm to strike at Tang San together."

"Yes, Teacher!"

What else was there to say? Just get to work.

Suddenly, a small purple ball of light flew out and landed beside Lin Yuan.

"This is the power of destruction that can be used for a contract. If you feel that someone can be of use to you, use this power to bind them. This way, they can become your subordinate and obtain a certain degree of destruction power."

"Understood, Teacher." Lin Yuan accepted it readily.

Suddenly, a question occurred to him, and he asked the God of Destruction: "What if that person still chooses to betray me?"

The God of Destruction fell silent, his silence seemingly saying everything that needed to be said.

The price of such betrayal would at the very least be death by explosion!

"Rest assured, this master will not let you repeat my mistakes."

Lin Yuan immediately understood that the God of Destruction was referring to Zhou Weiqing.

If it weren't for that turncoat switching sides, Tang San, the protagonist with the least dignity, would have truly lost.

It was embarrassing to think about; as the protagonist of a series, Tang San was actually the one being challenged by someone of a lower rank.

"Everything that needed to be said has been said. This master has exhausted too much energy and must enter a slumber for some time."

"The faction you have encountered in the outside world is very interested in you; you may try to reveal your talent and rely on them."

"I understand, Master."

"Mm, go."

In the outside world, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

During the time he spent communicating with the God of Destruction, almost no time had passed in the outside world.

The Spirit Awakening Master in charge of the ceremony looked at Lin Yuan, who hadn't changed at all, with full of confusion.

Ning Zhiyuan, who was watching from the shadows, couldn't help but wonder if the device had malfunctioned.

But the next moment, Lin Yuan no longer concealed his aura, and it was immediately revealed!

A chilling, trembling aura of destruction manifested right then and there, causing Ning Zhiyuan's heart to race wildly.

Ning Tian's small face turned pale in an instant, and Wu Feng was so frightened that her teeth were chattering.

"Wh-what kind of Martial Soul is this?" The instinctive sense of fear made Ning Tian's voice tremble.

Ning Zhiyuan immediately sensed it; this terrifying elemental energy felt very similar to the Annihilation attribute of the Earth Dragon Sect in his perception.

Yet, this was a power even more exaggerated and terrifying than the Earth Dragon Sect's Annihilation attribute.

"Could it be the legendary Destruction attribute? The ultimate... destruction?" Ning Zhiyuan said in disbelief.
