"This Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid can enhance the healing abilities of an auxiliary Martial Soul. It's perfect for Lingling."
"Starry Begonia!"
Suddenly, when Ye Xiyue saw a gorgeous begonia flower shimmering with faint starlight and dotted all over with tiny points of light, she cried out in excitement.
"This is a top-tier healing Immortal Herb that can bring the dead back to life and restore the bones!"
"It can resolve the flaw in the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul!"
This flower, born to heal, was noble and pure—a top-tier healing Immortal Herb.
Ye Xiyue was overcome with excitement. With trembling hands, she carefully plucked the Starry Begonia, leaving its roots behind so it could grow again.
The flaw in the Nine Heart Begonia was that only two Soul Masters with the Nine Heart Begonia could exist at the same time.
Ye Lingling was the hope of the Ye Family's legacy. Having her consume the Starry Begonia meant giving the Ye Family hope of survival.
"All right."
Ye Lingling took the Starry Begonia and immediately began absorbing it.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ye. Lingling will succeed."
Seeing Ye Xiyue's nerves, Zhou Tong reassured her.
"Thank you, Zhou Tong and Senior Dugu. If it weren't for you, the Ye Family would never have had the chance to come to this blessed place."
"No need to say more. With our friendship, a few Immortal Herbs are nothing."
"If anyone deserves thanks, it's my disciple. If he hadn't discovered this blessed place, I'd still be guarding a treasure mountain without even knowing it."
"My disciple really is my lucky star."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, his tone complicated.
At that moment, Ye Lingling, absorbing the Starry Begonia, underwent a tremendous transformation.
A radiant starlight appeared across the surface of her body, and even the Nine Heart Begonia was covered in a faint glow.
A holy aura emerged from her.
The pale pink Nine Heart Begonia turned as white as jade, speckled with points of starlight like the stars.
The Nine Heart Begonia's petals quietly increased to ten.
"The Nine Heart Begonia has evolved into the Ten-Heart Begonia!"
Ye Xiyue cried out.
The next moment, Ye Lingling woke up.
"Mom, I feel like my Martial Soul has evolved, and its flaw is gone."
"Also, my Martial Soul is much stronger. It can not only heal injuries but also restore mental strength and Soul Power."
Her words left everyone stunned.
What a terrifying healing Martial Soul!
It could heal every aspect of a Soul Master—not only physical injuries but also mental strength and Soul Power.
It was practically like being restored to perfect condition on the spot.
"Wonderful! The Ye Family is saved!"
Not long afterward, Ye Xiyue found an Immortal Herb called Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
The entire herb was emerald green, and a white fruit like a dewdrop rested on its central leaf.
"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew can enhance mental strength."
"This Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum can enhance Martial Soul attributes."
"Zhou Tong, these two Immortal Herbs are perfect for you."
Ye Xiyue said.
"Excellent."
Zhou Tong smiled. His body was already strong enough; the only thing he lacked for absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was mental strength.
On top of that, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum would enhance his lightning attribute, strengthening his Martial Soul once again.
He sat cross-legged beside the two Immortal Herbs, plucked the fruit of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and swallowed it.
A cool sensation shot straight into his brain, and the entire world became clearer in his eyes.
Then he felt his mental strength steadily improve.
At last, he sensed that he could easily perceive everything within a ten-mile radius.
His mental strength had increased significantly, enough to reach the level of a Soul King.
Next, he absorbed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
The Thunderous Hell Vine Martial Soul began to undergo a tremendous change. The gold across it grew richer and more regal.
Zhou Tong felt its life energy become purer. Every circulation of Soul Power carried a resilient force.
He slowly opened his eyes and sensed the changes in the Thunderous Hell Vine.
The vine had grown more resilient, its life energy had become stronger, and it had also gained healing abilities.
Now he had everything he needed. All that remained was to hunt a Ten Thousand Year third Soul Ring!
Of course, this time he had to hunt alone, without relying on anyone else. It would be extremely dangerous.
That was precisely what made the Thunder God Divine Trial so difficult!
At the same time, a dragon's might suddenly burst from Dugu Bo.
The phantom image of a Jade Phosphor Giant Dragon appeared behind him, and the overwhelming pressure of a true dragon swept across the area.
As its mighty aura surged, Dugu Bo opened his bright eyes and sensed the changes in himself, feeling a rush of delight.
"Hahaha! My Martial Soul has evolved!"
"My dragon bloodline has awakened, transforming it into a Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon!"
"And my Soul Power has improved again, reaching level ninety-three."
As he celebrated, the Martial Soul behind him began to change in a strange way. Faint green scales appeared on its serpentine body, and dragon horns sprouted from its head, making it look like a true dragon.
The next moment, a dragon's roar sounded from Dugu Yan as well.
Another Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon appeared!
Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes and said with a smile, "My Martial Soul evolved too!"
"And after evolving, my Martial Soul seems to have gained a hidden power of annihilation!"
"This power is so strong. It can destroy everything."
Dugu Yan was thrilled. She could feel the tremendous improvement her evolved Martial Soul had brought, and excitement filled her expression.
"Wonderful! My Dugu Family has undergone a complete transformation!"
Dugu Bo threw back his head and laughed, his heart filled with joy.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
After returning to the dormitory, Zhou Tong went into seclusion again and began absorbing the Soul Bones.
Now that he was alone, it was the perfect chance to see just how miraculous the two Dragon God Spirit Bones were.
The Ice Dragon King had left behind a skull.
The Fire Dragon King had left behind a chest bone.
The two Soul Bones radiated extreme attributes, and terrifying power was contained within their exquisite dragon patterns.
It was as if two giant dragons were roaring up at the sky.
Looking at the Soul Bones in his hands, Zhou Tong made up his mind and pressed the skull directly against his forehead.
Drawn by his Soul Power, the skull quickly released waves of a true dragon's might, while Ultimate Water elements poured out of it.
The Ultimate Water elements washed over Zhou Tong's brain again and again. Pain like ants gnawing at him spread through his body, twisting his expression.
But he gritted his teeth and endured it with his powerful mental strength.
After a long while, Ultimate Water gradually fused into the skull, bringing with it the energies of life and purification.
Water was the source of life, containing the powers of life and purification.
The Water Dragon King's skull granted him two Soul Skills.
The first was Ultimate Purification, which could cleanse the world of every evil influence and toxin.
In other words, Zhou Tong was now immune to all poisons.
The second was Water Spirit Domain.
Activating this Soul Skill created a spiritual domain that came with its own mental shield, shutting out external mental attacks.
It was practically a god-tier mental defense skill.
Zhou Tong was delighted. Then he fused with the Fire Dragon King's chest bone.
The Fire Dragon King Soul Bone granted him two Soul Skills.
The first was Ultimate Fire Power, which allowed him to unleash Ultimate Fire and burn everything.
The second was Fire Dragon Transformation.
Activating this Soul Skill transformed his body into a dragon's form for protection. The true dragon's body had powerful defenses, shielding Zhou Tong's physical form from every side.
