Divine Examination Mark?

Lu Chen rose to his feet, and the Soul Power within him began to circulate.

Colored power covered his entire body as the wings on his back rapidly unfurled.

Compared to three days ago, Leugocyte's wings now bore two extremely distinct additional powers.

A crimson glow faintly flowed across the left wing, while icy-blue patterns covered the right.

These were the changes brought about by integrating two god-tier soul bones into his Martial Soul.

Lu Chen gently flapped his wings.

A crack appeared in the red-and-blue energy cocoon wrapped around his body.

The crack rapidly spread until it covered the entire cocoon.

The next moment, the red and blue light accumulated over three days erupted at once, and the energy cocoon shattered completely.

Lu Chen burst out from the light.

The wings behind him snapped open, propelling him upward.

The lake water could not hinder the speed granted by Martial Soul Possession.

Lu Chen rapidly ascended along the path he had taken down, soon leaving the space at the lakebed and entering the spring waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

At this moment, beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Bibi Dong, Dugu Bo, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan were still standing guard by the lake.

Three days earlier, they had personally dived to the bottom of the lake. After confirming that Lu Chen was safe, they had returned to the surface.

But knowing Lu Chen was safe was one thing; waiting for him to finish absorbing the energy was another.

For three whole days, Lu Chen had not appeared.

Although they could all sense that the aura at the lakebed remained steady, the prolonged wait still prevented them from truly putting their minds at ease.

Especially since the energy within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was far too unusual.

No one could be certain whether Lu Chen might suddenly encounter an accident.

As the four continued waiting, Bibi Dong was the first to look up.

She sensed a familiar aura.

That aura was rapidly approaching from the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and it was far stronger than it had been three days ago.

"He's out."

Almost the moment Bibi Dong spoke, Dugu Bo, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan also sensed Lu Chen's aura.

The four of them relaxed at the same time.

After waiting for three days, Lu Chen had finally finished absorbing the energy.

The next moment, the previously calm lake surface suddenly began to shake violently.

The red and blue spring waters were blasted apart by a powerful force from below, and a massive figure shot straight out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Lake water splashed in every direction.

With Martial Soul Possession active, Lu Chen spread his wings and hovered above the lake's surface.

Colored energy enveloped his entire body. His left wing gleamed crimson, icy-blue patterns flowed along his right wing, and the nine-colored dragon-shaped mark on his forehead became clear at that moment.

The power accumulated within him over three days of absorption erupted completely the instant he burst from the lake.

Lu Chen raised his head, and a deafening dragon roar burst from his throat.

The roar spread outward from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, stirring up great waves across the lake once more.

The surrounding ice and fire energy was also affected, trembling continuously along with the dragon roar.

However, this roar no longer carried the fury of battle, nor did it contain Leugocyte's provocation when facing the two Dragon Kings.

It was more like a complete release after being suppressed for three days.

Lu Chen could feel that, as the dragon roar rang out, the final trace of sluggishness within his body vanished as well.

His ever-growing power finally settled completely, and his mind and body returned to perfect coordination.

As the dragon roar ended, Lu Chen slowly lowered his head.

The oppressive feeling brought by three consecutive days of absorption had been swept away. He felt indescribably light and relaxed from head to toe.

Sure enough, letting it all out felt much better.

Lu Chen flexed his wings, then looked toward the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Only then did he notice that Bibi Dong, Dugu Bo, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan were still waiting below.

All four were looking up at him.

Lu Chen folded the wings on his back and slowly descended beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

When his feet touched the ground again, the nine-colored light around him rapidly receded.

The Martial Soul power covering his body gradually dispersed, and the pair of wings marked with crimson and icy-blue patterns dissolved into specks of light, merging back into his body.

As the Martial Soul Possession state was lifted, Lu Chen returned to human form.

Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo had originally intended to step forward and examine him, but when they truly saw Lu Chen's current appearance, all four of them paused in unspoken unison.

Compared to three days ago, Lu Chen had changed far too much.

He had clearly grown much taller, and the childishness that had belonged to a six-year-old had greatly diminished.

His facial contours had become more defined, and his features were more handsome than before.

Although it was still apparent that he was young, if one judged by appearance alone, few would believe that he was only six years old.

Yet what was truly surprising was not the changes to his height and features.

Lu Chen now possessed an additional aura—a calm yet powerful sense of majesty.

He was clearly just standing there quietly, without releasing any Soul Power or undergoing Martial Soul Possession again, yet those around him could still sense a faint, almost imperceptible pressure from him.

That pressure was not deliberate, nor did it carry any aggression. It was more like the natural aura emitted by some higher form of life.

Within that majesty was also an exceedingly unique sense of sanctity.

These two temperaments appearing in a child of merely six should have seemed utterly out of place.

Yet on Lu Chen, they felt exceptionally natural, as if he had always been meant to be this way.

Yue Guan scrutinized Lu Chen several times, his eyes full of surprise.

Although Gui Mei did not display it as openly as Yue Guan, his gaze remained fixed on Lu Chen. Clearly, he too had not expected three days to bring such enormous changes to Lu Chen.

Dugu Bo could not help raising an eyebrow slightly as well.

He had already known that Lu Chen's Martial Soul was extraordinarily special, and had personally witnessed the terrifying commotion Lu Chen caused beneath the lake.

But only now, seeing Lu Chen after his Martial Soul Possession had been lifted, did he realize that the benefits Lu Chen had gained were clearly not limited to an increase in Soul Power.

Among all the changes to Lu Chen, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly the nine-colored dragon-shaped mark at the center of his forehead.

The mark was not particularly large, yet it was extremely distinct.

Nine different colors slowly flowed through the dragon-shaped pattern. They neither mixed chaotically nor completely merged together.

Each color retained its own characteristics, yet together they formed a complete nine-colored dragon.

The mark itself did not release any powerful energy, yet anyone who saw it would instinctively focus their attention on it at first glance.

Not only did it not detract from Lu Chen's current appearance, it instead added a few touches of unique charm to his already outstanding looks.

Handsome, majestic, sacred.

With the appearance of the nine-colored dragon-shaped mark, these impressions became even more pronounced.

As Bibi Dong looked at the mark on Lu Chen's forehead, the surprise on her face gradually turned solemn.

Others might only find the mark exceptionally unusual, but she sensed a familiar feeling from it.

Bibi Dong was the inheritor of the Rakshasa God.

She had already accepted the Rakshasa God's trials, so she was naturally no stranger to marks left behind by deities.
