Martial Soul Evolution! Golden Holy Flame Dragon! Resolving Martial Soul Flaws.

[The phantom behind is the real Medusa!]

After subduing Medusa, Jiang Ce turned around and swept his gaze across the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Silk Tulip, and the rest—these immortal herbs that Dugu Bo treated as his own life in the original story—were all present in duplicate here.

Not only that, but there was also a vast array of varieties he had never seen in the original work.

The Dragon Saliva Spirit Grass, Emerald Jade Marrow Flower, Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus, Golden Stamen Soul-Returning Grass, Corona Flower, and Sacred Fire Grass; every single stalk radiated spiritual energy fluctuations no less potent than the immortal herbs.

Arriving early certainly had its perks.

By the time Dugu Bo found this place, who knew how many treasures would have already been squandered.

With everything in pairs, it was perfect for each of his two mounts to have a set.

He raised his hand, transmitting the harvesting methods directly into the minds of Liu Erlong and Ye Yingling.

Following the information in their heads, the two women carefully navigated the valley, plucking the herbs one by one.

Medusa coiled upon a rock, watching as the treasures she had guarded for who knew how many years were plucked away like common vegetables.

She looked down at her own body, wrapped tightly from head to tail in a layer of black, liquid-like, skin-tight material that flowed wantonly over her form.

Knowing she had no room to resist, she could only let out a sigh.

But when she saw the two women take all the immortal herbs and prepare to shove them into their mouths at once, she finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Are you insane? The spiritual energy in those things is incredibly violent—even I wouldn't dare touch them. Eating them directly is suicide."

Liu Erlong didn't even lift an eyelid.

Following the advice Jiang Ce had given her, she plucked six immortal herbs.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to consolidate her foundation, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to repair the innate defects of her fire-type Martial Soul, the Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum to temper her body into an indestructible state, the Autumn Water Dew to condense her mental power, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to imbue her with dragon energy and strengthen her dragon-attribute bloodline, and the Silk Tulip to break through her Martial Soul's limits.

Although medicine was three parts poison, and consuming so many at once would surely cause the medicinal effects to clash, Jiang Ce had told her not to worry, as he possessed an incredibly powerful healing ability.

As long as she wasn't dead, he could save her.

Liu Erlong swallowed all six at once.

Six streams of medicinal power exploded within her body simultaneously.

The Fire Dragon Martial Soul above her head let out a heaven-shaking roar.

The dragon body, originally intertwined with blue and fiery red, was reforged inch by inch within golden flames, its size expanding crazily.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters; a hundred-meter-long golden giant dragon took shape amidst the flames.

The dragon horns were as sharp as spears, the scales shimmered with a metallic luster, the claws were as sharp as scimitars, and the entire body was wreathed in scorching golden flames. Its dragon might was vast, looking down upon all living things.

Golden Holy Flame Dragon.

Liu Erlong felt the surging soul power within her: forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty.

Her level was stuck firmly at the fifty-level bottleneck, but a massive amount of undigested medicinal power remained in her meridians, waiting only for her fifth soul ring to detonate it.

Ye Yingling also consumed her immortal herbs at the same time.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to consolidate her foundation, the Nine-Grade Purple Mushroom to repair her Martial Soul's defects, the Autumn Water Dew to condense her mental power, the Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum to temper her body into an indestructible state, and the Silk Tulip to break through her Martial Soul's limits.

Swallowing all five at once, the medicinal powers stacked layer upon layer.

The phantom of the Nine-Heart Begonia bloomed above her head, its white petals unfolding layer by layer.

It expanded from a delicate little flower into a giant flower crown covering her entire head, every petal radiating life force of the utmost purity.

A halo slowly condensed in the center of the flower, and chant-like runes flowed within it.

Nine-Heart Begonia: Sacred Chant.

The soul power within Ye Yingling surged crazily against the twenty-level bottleneck but remained firmly stuck, yet the medicinal power accumulated in her meridians continued to churn, waiting only for her second soul ring to detonate it.

Feeling the brand-new power surging within her, her eyes grew hot. She turned and bowed deeply to Jiang Ce, her ample chest swaying with the movement.

"Teacher, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"If you really want to thank me—" Jiang Ce picked her up and patted her firm buttocks, "try some other ways to play."

Ye Yingling's cheeks turned bright red, and she nodded gently.

Regardless of body or mind, as long as she could make her teacher happy, she was willing to do anything.

Besides, that feeling of her mind going completely blank was, indeed, very comfortable.

Medusa remained coiled on the rock, her cold, beautiful face completely shattered into a look of utter astonishment.

Two humans had completed a qualitative change in their Martial Souls right before her eyes; those immortal herbs she hadn't dared to touch truly possessed such heaven-defying effects.

Regret burrowed into her heart like snake venom. If she had known how to use the treasures she had guarded for so many years, she might have already broken through to the hundred-thousand-year level.

Liu Erlong stood with her hands on her hips, head tilted back as she watched the golden dragon circling overhead, and let out a boisterous laugh.

"Too incredible! My martial soul has turned into a Golden Holy Flame Dragon! This bloodline is pure to the extreme; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect isn't even fit to carry my shoes!"

She laughed without restraint, the massive assets on her chest swaying violently with each burst of mirth.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect might just have to change its name to Liu! I am the true main lineage!"

Let those fellows talk about status based on bloodline; when the time came, she, Liu Erlong, would be the strongest in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. She would demote them all to a branch lineage and see what they dared to say then.

As she laughed, she suddenly fell silent for a moment.

That day at the bottom of the cliff, if Jiang Ce hadn't parasitized her, she would have already died under the claws of the Red Flame Earth Dragon.

Jiang Ce let out a low chuckle.

"Then you'll have to play with me properly when the time comes."

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes.

When this bad guy said "play properly," there was no telling how he would torment her.

Though she complained in her heart, she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

What was it to turn into a wooden bead that could only go "ohoho"?

What was there to fear? Compared to what Jiang Ce had given her, it was still worth it.

Jiang Ce turned toward Medusa, who was still in a state of petrification.

"Little Medusa, do you want to join the glorious evolution?"

Medusa's body shuddered violently.

Just as she opened her mouth to say something, the layer of Venom Black Latex Suit on her body tightened abruptly, as if to give her a reminder.

A flush of shame and anger rose on her cold, beautiful face, and her snake tail instinctively slammed against the ground.

"You, you bastard—don't move around!"

She was a queen among snake-type spirit beasts, born half-human and half-snake, with an incomparably beautiful upper body.

There had been those who coveted the beauty of her race before, and now she felt that Jiang Ce was exactly that kind of person.

The next moment, the Venom Black Latex Suit tightened around the proud, full curves of her upper body, layer by layer, until they looked like the arms of a Michelin tire mascot.

"Letting your thoughts wander—that deserves a penalty."

Jiang Ce's voice carried a hint of a smile.

"Damn you, you guy!"

Medusa gritted her teeth.

"I am your master now; you cannot resist. Stop struggling, and it will be a little more comfortable."

"Damn it, what do you mean 'a little more comfortable'? Your big breasts are being squeezed like this; see if you think it's comfortable!"

Medusa was indignant. What on earth was this guy, condensing directly into these lumps of black liquid?

"Little Medusa, you wouldn't want to stay stuck at 30,000 years forever instead of reaching 100,000 years, would you?"

Jiang Ce's voice took on a note of temptation.

Medusa: "..."
