Lu Chen's bones were continuously strengthened, his muscles and meridians becoming tougher, while his body proportions rapidly changed under the influence of the energy.

Crimson-red and ice-blue power overflowed from within him, constantly intertwining around his body.

At first, the two energies formed only a thin layer, but as the absorption continued, they quickly condensed into a massive energy cocoon that completely enveloped Lu Chen.

Red and blue light constantly flowed across its surface.

Lu Chen could no longer be seen from outside; only the steady aura emanating from within the energy cocoon could be sensed.

At regular intervals, the red and blue light would flare up simultaneously before slowly dimming again.

Lu Chen's appearance was also undergoing drastic changes within the energy cocoon.

His body was growing rapidly, and the childish features that had once belonged to a child gradually faded.

His facial contours became more defined, and his figure continued to grow taller.

Although his actual age had not changed, judging by his appearance alone, it was becoming increasingly difficult to associate him with a six-year-old child.

Within the sea of consciousness, Leugocyte calmly watched Lu Chen's transformation.

It could sense that Lu Chen was gradually adapting to the residual power of the two Dragon Kings.

The initial chaos had already ended. Although the subsequent absorption still required time, it would no longer pose any real threat to Lu Chen.

Leugocyte looked at Lu Chen, who sat cross-legged within the energy cocoon, and nodded in a remarkably human-like manner.

Then, an even brighter colored radiance erupted from its entire body.

The light did not leave the sea of consciousness, but it rapidly spread through the connection between his martial soul and body.

The red-and-blue energy cocoon outside seemed to be stimulated, and its circulation immediately accelerated.

This change manifested directly in Lu Chen's body.

The energy that had originally required him to guide it slowly began merging into his body in a steadier, faster manner.

Ice and fire no longer repeatedly battered his meridians. Instead, under the influence of Leugocyte's power, they completed cycle after cycle.

Lu Chen's energy absorption speed noticeably increased, and the rate at which his physical qualities improved rose accordingly.

His bones became sturdier under the alternating tempering of ice and fire, the power contained within his flesh and blood continued to grow, and his sea of consciousness rapidly expanded under the impetus of the residual spiritual power of the two Dragon Kings.

Within the red-and-blue energy cocoon, Lu Chen's changes in appearance became increasingly obvious.

His build had completely surpassed the range of an ordinary six-year-old child.

Though his childishness had not entirely disappeared, it was concealed by his increasingly powerful aura and physical changes.

At that moment, a wisp of nine-colored light descended from his sea of consciousness.

The light passed through the boundary between consciousness and body before finally gathering at the center of Lu Chen's forehead.

At first, it was merely an extremely faint colored speck of light. Then it gradually extended outward, forming a distinct dragon mark.

It was a nine-colored dragon mark.

The mark was not particularly large, yet it was extremely similar to the power emanating from Leugocyte.

Nine colors slowly flowed over the surface of the mark before finally stabilizing.

As the mark fully took shape, Lu Chen's aura also changed.

The fire, ice, and colored energy that had originally been mixed together gradually unified.

The three powers no longer interfered with one another. Instead, they formed a complete cycle around Lu Chen.

At this moment, whether it was his body shape or the nine-colored dragon mark on his forehead, nothing about him suggested that he was merely a six-year-old child.

Not long after Lu Chen entered a stable absorption state, the four people above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well finally dove into the space beneath the lake.

Bibi Dong, Dugu Bo, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan were all covered in dense Soul Power.

The two extreme energies of ice and fire constantly battered their defenses, yet they could not truly break through the Soul Power barriers of Title Douluo.

Even so, their descent was far from easy.

The power that had erupted at the bottom of the lake earlier had thrown the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into upheaval, and the ice-and-fire energy in the spring water was far more chaotic than usual.

The four could only keep stabilizing themselves as they searched downward, bit by bit, for Lu Chen's aura.

When they finally passed through that special layer of space and entered the lakebed region, the first thing they saw was the enormous energy cocoon sitting in the distance.

The red and blue light nearly illuminated the entire space.

The two enormous dragon corpses still lay where they had been, while the surrounding fire and ice energy had already returned to balance.

The two terrifying dragon souls from before had completely vanished, and not even the slightest trace of divine beast pressure could be felt.

The four turned their attention toward the red-and-blue energy cocoon. Relying on their respective senses, they quickly discovered that Lu Chen was inside it.

Moreover, he was not injured.

Not only was Lu Chen's aura extremely stable, it was continuously growing stronger.

The ice-and-fire power within the energy cocoon was not attacking him. Instead, it was constantly being absorbed by him.

Dugu Bo looked at the space that had returned to calm, then at the energy cocoon containing Lu Chen, his expression turning complicated for a moment.

Bibi Dong sensed it even more clearly.

No matter what had happened just now, the final result was obvious: Lu Chen had won.

Once they confirmed this, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They did not interrupt Lu Chen's absorption, nor did they rashly approach the energy cocoon. They merely observed for a while in the space at the bottom of the lake.

Lu Chen's condition was extremely stable.

Red and blue energy continuously circulated around him. Each time the light flashed, his aura grew a little stronger.

Clearly, this absorption could not possibly be completed in a short time.

The four of them knew there was no point in remaining at the bottom of the lake.

They could temporarily resist the ice and fire energy with the Soul Power of Titled Douluo, but this place was unsuitable for a prolonged stay.

Since Lu Chen was not in danger, they only needed to return outside and wait.

Thus, the four of them swam upward once more.

Time slowly passed.

The space at the bottom of the lake returned to silence.

Around the two dragon corpses, the circulating energy left behind by Leugocyte continued to operate steadily.

The crimson and icy-blue forces influenced each other, continuously supplying new energy to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Meanwhile, the energy cocoon at the center of the space remained in the same state.

On the first day, the most violent ice and fire energy within Lu Chen's body was completely absorbed.

On the second day, the spiritual power formed from the divine consciousness of the two Dragon Kings gradually merged with his spiritual sea.

By the third day, the residual power left behind by the two god-level soul bones finally completed the strengthening of his body.

Three days later, the fluctuations within the red-and-blue energy cocoon began to weaken.

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The nine-colored dragon mark on his forehead flashed once before its light faded.

The ice and fire energy continuously circulating within his body finally calmed down as well.

All the power his body could absorb at its current stage had completely merged into him.

The remaining portion that could not be used directly sank into his martial soul under Leugocyte's guidance.

The god-level soul bones of the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King also remained quietly fused into Leugocyte's wings, without showing any rejection.

Lu Chen slowly raised his hands.

He could clearly feel that his physical qualities had undergone enormous changes compared to three days ago.

His strength, speed, endurance, and recovery ability had all improved greatly, while his spiritual sea had become more stable than before.

However, he did not continue testing himself at the bottom of the lake.

Lu Chen looked upward.

Three days had passed. Bibi Dong and the others must still be waiting outside.

What he needed to do now was leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first.
