Wishes Come True
"Hold head high--!!!"
Just as Ling Yi was pondering how to arrange the preparations at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a high-pitched dragon roar caught his attention. 👽♛ 🐸♡
Looking down in the direction of the sound, what came into view was a pool of water, one red and one white, clearly distinct from each other. Around the pools were various exotic flowers and plants of different colors.
The source of the dragon's roar was a figure sitting cross-legged beside the red spring water in the pool.
Liu Erlong.
Glancing at the thriving array of exotic flowers and plants below, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Ling Yi's eyes. He then leaped from the hundred-meter-high stone beam.
A pale blue whirlwind swirled around him, making Ling Yi as light as a feather as he floated down towards the bottom of the valley.
At the bottom of the valley, on the ground about ten feet away from the crimson spring, as the Soul Power surging within her body like a great river gradually subsided, Liu Erlong slowly opened her phoenix eyes. With a thought, the crimson fire Fire Dragon that had manifested behind her immediately let out another dragon roar before disappearing into her upright and delicate body.
As if sensing something, Liu Erlong subconsciously looked up and saw Ling Yi's leisurely figure descending.
At this moment, a beam of golden light shone down from above the valley entrance, and Ling Yi was bathed in the golden light. In Liu Erlong's eyes, he looked like an immortal descending to earth.
A look of intoxication flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She knew that now was not the time.
Soon, just as Ling Yi stepped into the valley of the "Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well", two figures, one in black and one in blue, swiftly appeared from the valley entrance and the edge of the valley floor, respectively.
It's Yang Shelly and Ah Yin.
Seeing the two women flanking Ling Yi, Liu Erlong lowered her phoenix eyes slightly, concealing the unusual emotions that were now showing in them.
"A breakthrough?"
Ling Yi's gentle voice rang out, causing Liu Erlong to immediately look up and smile at him, "Mm!"
Liu Erlong stood up lightly and summoned the "Fire Dragon" Martial Soul that she had just absorbed into her body again. With her right hand clenched into a claw and her palm facing up, a ball of crimson Soul Power was condensed into a form.
"Brother Yi, look—"
Liu Erlong raised her right hand, showing the ball of Soul Power in her palm to Ling Yi, and said excitedly, "Cultivating here, not only did my Soul Power quickly break through to level fifty, but I can also feel that my Martial Soul and Soul Power have undergone an indescribable and wonderful change..."
Following Liu Erlong's movements, Ling Yi, Yang Shelly, and Ah Yin all turned their attention to the crimson Soul Power.
It is evident that, compared to Liu Erlong's original red Soul Power, her Soul Power now seems to have a few more strands of brighter red light, making the color of this Soul Power even more magnificent.
At the same time, this change was not only in appearance, but also in its internal aspects. Ling Yi and the other two could clearly feel that Liu Erlong's Soul Power was radiating intense heat, just like the crimson spring water next to them!
The source of this high temperature seems to be the crimson Fire Dragon coiled around Liu Erlong!
"Back when he discovered this ' Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,' Senior Dugu said that it would subtly provide a significant boost to his ' Jade Phosphorous Serpent ' Martial Soul cultivation."
Ling Yi chuckled and said, "Later, during the preparations for the attack on ' Demon Dragon Zixi, ' we explored the area around this ' Fog Mountain ' and discovered many Soul Beast with dragon blood, who seemed to be unconsciously converging on this place..."
"All of this proves that the ' Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ' has a significant positive effect on the cultivation of dragon-blooded Soul Beast and dragon-blooded Martial Soul."
"I strongly suspect that beneath these two springs, one of ice and one of fire, lie dragon treasures belonging to these two different attributes!"
"Pity,"
As he spoke, Ling Yi turned to look at the two distinct springs, one red and one white, and shook his head with regret, saying, "These two springs, one extremely cold and one extremely hot, are too terrifying. Even His Seven Kill Douluo admitted that he could not dive into them to explore the true nature of that ice and fire treasure."
Seeing the disappointment on Ling Yi's face, Liu Erlong blurted out instinctively, "Brother Yi, once I become Titled Douluo, I'll definitely be able to dive to the bottom of this spring and retrieve that treasure for you!"
"Uh—" Ling Yi was taken aback at first, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Erlong, there's no need for that. I was just saying it casually. The treasures of heaven and earth are for those who are destined to obtain them. The treasures below are just research material for me. There's no need to force it."
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Liu Erlong didn't say anything more, but in her heart, she secretly made up her mind that once her strength improved, she would definitely try to dive into the spring and retrieve the treasure hidden at the bottom of the spring for Brother Yi!
Although even Titled Douluo like the Seven Kill Douluo couldn't enter, Liu Erlong believed the key reason was their attributes.
While Seven Kill Douluo powerful, she is not Soul Master with either ice or fire attributes. Instead, she possesses the "Fire Dragon" Martial Soul. Whether it is the fire attribute or what Brother Yi said, the treasure at the bottom of this spring is related to dragons, which is extremely consistent.
Liu Erlong believed that once she broke through to the Titled Douluo and the "Fire Dragon" Martial Soul was attached to her, she would most likely be able to withstand the invasion of the extreme fire power in the Crimson Spring!
Ling Yi could tell what Liu Erlong was thinking, and Yang Shelly and Ah Yin beside him could also see it.
The two women exchanged a glance but said nothing. They simply looked meaningfully at Liu Erlong, whose eyes were gleaming.
"Okay~"
Ling Yi clapped his hands and spoke again, "Let's not talk about anything else for now, Erlong. You should take a break and adjust to the Soul Power in your body and your current state. In the past few days, I have asked Senior Dugu to find a suitable Soul Beast for you as your Fifth Soul Ring."
"Once you're ready, we'll go hunting with you."
"Mm!" Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong disregarded Yang Shelly and Ah Yin who were still present, her beautiful eyes immediately welling up with tears, and she said gratefully to Ling Yi, "Thank you, Brother Yi!"
Two days later, Ling Yi woke up Yang Shelly and Ah Yin, who were sleeping in Haitang Chun, and took the two women to the foot of "Fog Mountain".
For the past period of time, the three of them have been living in the treehouse they built when they hunted the "Demon Dragon Zixi".
Because of the previous use of the "Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Blue Silver Overlord Spear", the relationship between Yang Shelly and Ah Yin has eased a lot. In addition, facing Ling Yi, whose physique has been greatly strengthened again, either of the two women will feel the hardship of being unable to support the whole team alone.
In the midst of a raging storm, people still need to support each other to manage and persevere.
As Ling Yi walked between the two women, he began to daydream. He wondered if Yang Shelly and Ah Yin would have a stronger fighting power if they used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to combine during their battle.
The thought of the Valkyrie being half a head taller than him suddenly made Ling Yi feel a little itchy.
The Russian girl in his previous life was 1.78 meters tall, which was quite tall for a woman, but she was still a little shorter than him at the time.
Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. After putting on 12-centimeter high heels, Ling Yi still felt a strange beauty in the height difference between himself and the Japanese girl. The Japanese girl could stand tall, while the Russian girl...
Cough!
Using his mind to adjust the trajectory, Ling Yi, who always wore loose robes, remained calm.
Just then, the three of them met Liu Erlong, who had been waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.
"Erlong, sorry to keep you waiting~" Ling Yi stepped forward and gave the girl an apologetic smile.
"Brother Yi, I should be thanking you..."
Liu Erlong responded with a bright smile, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Ling Yi and Yang Shelly and Ah Yin on either side of her. She especially noticed the two women's radiant faces, which drew her gaze frequently.
Half an hour later, in a valley more than 170 miles west of "Fog Mountain".
As she entered the valley, Liu Erlong looked around, scanning the jagged rocks, while the strong smell of sulfur in her nostrils also caught her attention.
"Brother Yi, in this environment, the ' One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast's' combat power will likely increase significantly. Should we lure it out of the valley?"
As she asked the question, Liu Erlong moved closer to Ling Yi. Openly, because Yang Shelly could use "Thunder Mode," which made her much faster, almost comparable to Agility Attack System Soul Master of the same level, she temporarily took on the role of a scout.
Therefore, at this moment, only Ah Yin, a Control System Soul Emperor, remained by Ling Yi's side to protect him.
Of course, Liu Erlong, a level 50 Power Attack System Quasi-Soul King, is also a formidable force that cannot be ignored.
"It's alright~" Ling Yi turned his head and comforted Liu Erlong, "This ' One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast ' has a cultivation level of around 18,000 years. Four years ago, your sister Shelly once single-handedly killed one with a similar cultivation level in the ' Star Dou Great Forest '..."
Just then, Yang Shelly's figure came running rapidly from the direction of the valley. At the same time, a loud roar suddenly rang out and echoed throughout the entire valley.
"Roar--!!!"
Along with the roar, there were also resounding sounds like drums, coming from the depths of the valley towards the valley entrance.
Soon, just as Yang Shelly, whose body was covered in pale golden arcs of electricity, stood in front of Ling Yi and the other two, a tall, charcoal-red figure suddenly rushed into their field of vision.
It was a ferocious beast that was over three meters tall and ten feet long from head to tail. Its overall shape resembled an enlarged version of the Velociraptor from Ling Yi's previous life's movies and TV shows. Its body was covered in fiery red scales, and its mouth had two rows of sharp, serrated teeth. On its pair of claws, which were slightly small compared to its thick legs, were curved knuckles that gleamed with a cold light.
Of course, the most striking feature is the fiery red horn on its forehead, with faint golden-red patterns that gleam in the light.
The "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" with 18,000 years of cultivation!
Looking at the ferocious-looking Soul Beast before her, a hint of daze and nostalgia flashed in Yang Shelly's beautiful eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that she personally handed over the corpse of the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" in the "Star Dou Great Forest" to Brother Yi, its scales were forged into armor, its flesh and internal organs were made into dishes, and even its blood was used to cultivate the "Blood-Devouring Vine," Yang Shelly would have thought that the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" in front of her was the one that had been resurrected.
They look almost identical and have similar cultivation levels. If they appeared at the same time, few people would doubt that they were twins.
"Roar--!!!"
Before Yang Shelly could have much time to think, the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" let out another deafening roar and charged at the humans who dared to trespass into its lair.
Unfortunately, reality is always full of unexpected events.
Just as the image of the four humans being torn apart by it appeared in the mind of "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast", a golden light suddenly flashed before its eyes, and then it lost all consciousness.
Before its consciousness completely faded into darkness, it seemed to feel a stinging pain in its neck.
In a daze, the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" felt its body getting lighter and lighter, as if it were floating in mid-air without any weight.
It could feel a warm place below it, drawing it in.
But it could also sense that the warm place was gradually becoming cold and no longer so attractive to it.
At a certain moment, just as the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" was about to regain consciousness, it suddenly felt a very peculiar tremor.
Beside me, it seems another... version of myself has appeared?!
No! They're the same kind!
Moreover, the place below, which had been cold, became warm again!
Just as the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" experienced a surge of joy, it suddenly noticed that its fellow creatures nearby were showing signs of wanting to enter that warm place.
Court death!
A violent emotion arose instantly, and the consciousness of "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" suddenly gathered power from who-knows-where, rushing towards the warm place first.
Almost instantly, that fellow being rushed into the warm place, following closely behind the consciousness of "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast"...
outside world.
Ling Yi, who was using the "Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Blue Silver Overlord Spear" with Yang Shelly, quickly deactivated the Martial Soul Fusion Skill after discovering that the remnant soul consciousness of the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" belonging to Yang Shelly's Fifth Soul Ring had flown out.
While using his "Sixth Soul Skill - Rebirth" to repair the corpse of the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast", he also helped Yang Shelly expel the residual consciousness of the Soul Beast in her Fifth Soul Ring. Even with his strong mental power, Ling Yi was feeling a little tired at this moment.
The main reason is that the Soul Ring belongs to Yang Shelly. Even when Ling Yi enters the Martial Soul Fusion Skill state and his spiritual power merges with Yang Shelly's, there is still a slight barrier between them. He cannot operate the Soul Ring as smoothly as he would his own.
Once Ling Yi finished his work, Yang Shelly, who had been reminded beforehand, immediately poured her Soul Power and spiritual power into her Fifth Soul Ring, imprinting her own aura into the ring bit by bit, just like her Sixth Soul Ring Soul Ring.
On the other side, when a faint red light flew out from the dark Soul Ring that was suspended in mid-air and went straight into the intact body of the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast", Liu Erlong did not delay at all. He immediately activated his Soul Power and pulled the dark Soul Ring in mid-air that had lost some of its agility.
With his arm around Ah Yin's slender waist, Ling Yi looked at Yang Shelly and Liu Erlong sitting cross-legged in front of him, then turned his head to look at the "One-Horned Flame Dragon Beast" whose aura was fluctuating and whose eyes were rolling wildly under its tightly closed eyelids. A bright smile appeared on his lips.
It feels so good to have your wishes come true!
I've finished catching up. So sleepy, goodnight everyone~
