Inside a mountain cave on the outskirts of Heaven Dou City, in the Douluo Continent, a man sat quietly.
At that moment, Luo Qiusheng's Soul Power surged higher and higher. Under its guidance, his body visibly grew stronger.
From a state where he'd been on the brink of death, he kept drawing in power!
Soul Power Level 5... 7... 9. In only a moment, he reached Soul Power Level 10.
But it didn't stop there. The energy in the Soul Bone that came with King of Bronze and Fire Constantine was terrifying. Luo Qiusheng's Soul Power quickly carried him past Soul Scholar and into the Soul Grandmaster realm, only stopping at last.
"Damn, I never expected a full set of Dragon King Constantine's bones to give me so little power!"
Luo Qiusheng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
His body began to change, too. Ancient wings slowly broke through the skin on his back, while dark blue-black dragon scales faintly appeared across his body.
"Just as I thought. The Gate of Transmigration let my body adapt to the laws of the Douluo World, but my abilities don't seem to be restricted by them. If anything, I can soar to even greater heights."
His eyes shone with golden-red, vertical pupils. They were his Martial Soul, known as the Golden Pupil.
"Now it's time to take a proper look at this world. At least I have some ability to protect myself now."
Feeling the Soul Power within him, now at Level 20, he decided to take the initiative.
That's right. He wasn't just a transmigrator. He was someone who'd transmigrated into the Dragon Tribe world, then transmigrated a second time into the Douluo Continent.
In the Dragon Tribe world, Luo Qiusheng had enrolled at Kassel College alongside Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei had his something for nothing, but Luo Qiusheng wasn't bad either. He'd initially been assessed as having A-Rank blood, and he'd done well in the 3E Exam. Without Lu Mingfei, the S-Rank, he would've been the brightest new star of their year by far. Zero came next.
Although Renata Yevgeniya Chicherina's Mirror Pupils were ridiculously powerful, her personality made it hard for anyone to strike up a conversation with her. In the end, that year's new students had an S-Rank who won the Freedom Day competition by pinning down a sniper rifle with one hand, as well as an A-Rank who could apparently ignore Vice Principal Nicolas Flamel's Spirit Word, [Commandment].
By a stroke of luck, before Constantine's dragon bones were taken away, Luo Qiusheng had touched them first. Some kind of energy within him seemed to resonate with them. That was why he now had dragon bones inside him.
The Gate that had brought him here had completed its buildup of energy when he witnessed Constantine's death and touched the dragon bones. The energy seemed to be what had brought him here.
He'd been troubled by it for a long time. Who knew when he'd be able to return? Perhaps that strange, mysterious energy would be involved again, or perhaps something else. But to get back, he would definitely need to obtain energy.
Change the plot, seize the advantage in the world he was in, and find a way to obtain the energy needed to transmigrate again.
When he left the cave, he spotted a huge city in the distance.
After thinking it over, he decided to head there and find out where he was in the timeline. What if Tang San had already gotten rid of all the Immortal Herbs?
After all, in Luo Qiusheng's eyes, the Douluo Continent didn't have many treasures. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one of the three great treasure troves, was one of the few things that could boost his strength. If he got his hands on it, he'd have a place that could continuously supply him with medicinal herbs.
"I wonder what tier my current strength puts me in on the Douluo Continent."
As he walked toward the city, Luo Qiusheng pondered. In the power systems of fantasy worlds, the Douluo Continent was often called the sewer of the genre. Its power system should be inferior to the Dragon Tribe's.
"Even so, the Douluo Continent isn't without its merits. The Soul Skills that come with Soul Rings are like having extra ways to save your life. And some of those Soul Skills have incredible effects. Even if they might not work well in the Dragon Tribe world, they're still worth looking into."
Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body, Tang San's Wildfire Cannot Burn Out, the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core that Ma Hongjun swallowed, the Spring of Life, and so on...
This boost had been tremendous, especially with Constantine's dragon bones, which had come with him through transmigration. Luo Qiusheng had treated them as Soul Bones and absorbed them completely into his body, raising his Soul Power by 20 levels. Unfortunately, he hadn't gained a Soul Ring. Fortunately, he hadn't been vaporized by Constantine's Candle Dragon. Recalling how he'd resonated with Constantine's dragon bones and absorbed them automatically just after arriving, Luo Qiusheng couldn't help drawing a sharp breath. Even now, he was still shaken.
The wings from the dragon bones seemed to be his greatest gain. Once he'd fully absorbed them, he'd gained the ability to fly, something he'd never experienced in the Dragon Tribe world.
"In this form, I'm on par with a First Generation!"
That was Luo Qiusheng's instinctive reaction. It was also one of the wonders of the Douluo Continent's power system: he could directly absorb a Dragon King's remains. Back in the Dragon Tribe world, he'd be a walking Dragon King!
"And Constantine's dragon bones seem to have raised my bloodline purity by another level. I never would've dared imagine using high-risk sequence Spirit Words before, but now..." Luo Qiusheng raised his right hand, and blazing flames sprang from his palm. This was one of King of Bronze and Fire Constantine's innate abilities: fire!
Walking at an unhurried pace, Luo Qiusheng soon reached the city gates.
"Heaven Dou City? I'm this lucky?"
Luo Qiusheng glanced at the three characters on the gate. Two guards stopped him.
"You need to pay to enter the city. Where's your fee?"
Luo Qiusheng scratched his head, acting like a stranger. The guards immediately grew wary.
"Take your hand off your head!"
"Step back!"
Luo Qiusheng was speechless, but he wasn't about to take that kind of humiliation. As he turned, he murmured, "Spirit Word: Time Zero."
A moment later, Luo Qiusheng held two bulging money pouches. He was already inside Heaven Dou City. As for the two guards, they were probably anxiously wondering where their pouches had gone, but that was none of his concern.
This was Heaven Dou City, where Dugu Bo happened to live. He'd go find him first.
He wondered whether Dugu Bo would kill a stranger like him on sight. Poison Douluo's reputation as a dangerous man hadn't come out of nowhere; he'd earned it through bloodshed.
Still, guided by the principle of putting knowledge into practice, Luo Qiusheng asked around until he found out where Poison Douluo Dugu Bo lived.
"I wonder if the Immortal Herbs are still there. But judging by how things look, Shrek probably hasn't made it to Heaven Dou City yet."
"Immortal Herb redemption code, here I come~"
