Martial Soul Possession

The confusion on Huo Yuhao's face was not feigned.

Gu Yuena had directly tailored the perfect identity of an "ancient dragon descendant" for him, saving him the trouble of having to weave a web of lies.

With this status, he might actually be able to extract some benefits from Gu Yuena.

He might not be able to rescue the Sky Dream Iceworm this time, but getting his hands on a piece of the Gold of Life was certainly a sure thing.

Huo Yuhao, playing the part of someone who had gained an advantage and was still acting coy, deliberately furrowed his brows.

"Can I awaken my bloodline just by using my Martial Soul avatar? But... when I summon my Martial Soul, it doesn't seem any different from an ordinary dragon-type Martial Soul."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao focused his intent, and a heavy dragon might instantly permeated the entire space.

The phantom of the Ancestral Dragon Spirit slowly emerged behind him.

"That's it!"

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, her violet ires shining with startling brilliance.

"With such bloodline pressure, the bloodline of your ancestors might be even more powerful than the Dragon God!"

Di Tian, standing to the side, was already dumbfounded; his body tensed instinctively, his eyes filled with awe.

Even just summoning the Martial Soul made the dragon blood within him churn uncontrollably, subconsciously urging him to bow and submit.

At this moment, Di Tian truly believed Gu Yuena's claims.

With the Lord here, and now the addition of this noble whose bloodline had regressed to the source, the fate of the Soul Beast clan might truly be changed by their hands!

Gu Yuena nodded gently, her gaze remaining fixed on Huo Yuhao, her eyes carrying a hint of anticipation. "Go ahead and use your Martial Soul avatar. With the Gold of Life here, there won't be any danger."

In truth, Gu Yuena was not wrong.

Huo Yuhao could hardly be considered a human anymore; the waste blood in his body had long since been purged during his first medicinal bath.

What flowed through his veins now was indeed the blood of the dragon race.

Having just undergone a blood transfusion, Huo Yuhao was currently equivalent to a newborn dragon cub; his bloodline was still somewhat thin and required time to accumulate before he could be completely reborn.

Perhaps what Gu Yuena suggested was also a viable method.

Using the Martial Soul avatar to accelerate the transformation of his body by the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.

Huo Yuhao nodded at Gu Yuena.

"Martial Soul Avatar!"

The Ancestral Dragon phantom behind him merged with his body. The moment the avatar took hold, his short hair instantly grew down to his waist, becoming increasingly soft and silky.

His deep blue eyes turned pitch-black and profound, with faint golden dragon markings appearing at the corners of his eyes.

His already handsome face now possessed even more refined contours.

His brow bone was prominent yet not sharp, his nose bridge was high and straight, and his lip line was clearly defined.

His body grew a few centimeters taller, and his physique became more balanced and upright.

Most striking of all were the two small, five-centimeter-long dragon horns that had sprouted from the sides of his forehead.

At this moment, blood surged within Huo Yuhao's body, and the might he radiated climbed steadily.

"I was right!"

Seeing the changes in Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena became even more convinced of her hypothesis.

Huo Yuhao's future achievements would absolutely not be lower than her own!

Gu Yuena did not immediately propose that he lead the Soul Beast clan to resurgence.

Huo Yuhao had only just awakened his bloodline; knowing his identity, he had no sense of belonging to their Soul Beast clan.

Just because his bloodline was higher, he should lead the Soul Beasts to fight against the Asura God?

If she were not the half-body of the Dragon God, not the Silver Dragon King, and someone suddenly appeared and dumped such a heavy burden on her, she would have sent them flying with a single claw!

Now, she needed to make Huo Yuhao, who was born human, develop a sense of belonging to the Soul Beasts first.

"Since you are currently in the guise of a human Soul Master, you must intend to return to the human world. Your rank is too low, and you are still in a weak period; it would be easy for you to perish if you encounter danger."

Gu Yuena turned around and casually cut a piece of the Gold of Life from the stone, handing it to Huo Yuhao.

"This is the Gold of Life. It can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bone. If your body is damaged, it will repair your injuries extremely quickly."

The piece of Gold of Life Gu Yuena handed to Huo Yuhao was as large as a shot put, showing her absolute sincerity.

"You are staying here, so you must rely on it to recover your body as well, right?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the Gold of Life in his hand and then offered it back to Gu Yuena.

"I only need a small piece."

Gu Yuena smiled with satisfaction. "If my injuries could truly be fully healed by this, I wouldn't have stayed here for so long. Take it since I gave it to you. If you really want to thank me, then wait until you have the ability in the future to treat my wounds."

The wounds on Gu Yuena's body were caused by the grievous injuries inflicted upon her by the Asura God when she fled the God Realm.

These were not merely flesh wounds, but the erosion of divine power.

The Asura divine power contained the essence of slaughter, judgment, and destruction. This power lingered in her wounds, constantly eroding her bodily functions, causing her injuries to remain unhealed for hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, healing Gu Yuena is actually quite simple: one only needs to expel the divine power of the Asura God.

Once Huo Yuhao matures in the future, he will be fully capable of using his own essence blood to assist Gu Yuena in forcibly purging that Asura divine power.

However, that is still a long way off.

Seeing Huo Yuhao nod, Gu Yuena asked again, "Your cultivation seems to have reached a bottleneck. Have you come this time to obtain a soul ring? Do you have a suitable target in mind?"

"I am a twin martial soul user. My first martial soul is my eyes, which possess the attributes of spirit, space, and time. I came here this time hoping to obtain a spirit-type soul ring."

Huo Yuhao knew the opportunity had arrived, but he could not state his objective too explicitly.

"My senior brother and I searched for a long time in the Star Dou Great Forest, but we couldn't find a suitable Soul Beast."

"When I arrived at this lake with this uncle, a Soul Beast approached me on its own initiative, offering to sacrifice itself to me. However, since I was coming to see you, I didn't agree to it for the time being."

Upon hearing the keywords—Lake of Life, approaching Huo Yuhao on its own, and offering a sacrifice—Di Tian's face turned dark.

Needless to say, it had to be that Iceworm!

It had appeared to be in a state of slumber the entire time; who would have thought it was actually deceiving them!

Gu Yuena was naturally aware of the Sky Dream Iceworm's existence; its body of pure origin soul power was extremely rare.

While Gu Yuena's cultivation level meant she had no use for it, for other fierce beasts with only a few hundred thousand years of cultivation, it was a potent tonic!

That pure origin of soul power could be directly converted into their own, saving them a vast amount of cultivation time.

Should she let that Iceworm sacrifice itself to Huo Yuhao, who possessed immense future potential and the ability to lead the Soul Beast clan out of their predicament, thereby laying a solid foundation for him?

Or should she keep it trapped here, allowing other Soul Beasts to absorb it and increase their strength slightly?

Between these two options, Gu Yuena knew how to choose.

"Di Tian, go and bring that Iceworm here."

This time, it was undoubtedly Gu Yuena's most brilliant moment!
