Silver Dragon King's Awakening and Scheming...

"Xiao San, tell me about your first Soul Skill."

Tang Wulin withdrew his gaze and looked at Tang San, beginning to ask about the specific abilities of his first Soul Skill.

At Tang Wulin's question, Tang San excitedly summoned his Blue Silver Grass.

"Teacher, my first Soul Skill is called Extreme Drain. As long as my Blue Silver Grass binds and strikes someone, it will continuously absorb their Soul Power. The absorbed Soul Power will then be converted and restored into my own Soul Power."

Tang San felt that this Soul Skill of his was practically unbelievably powerful. Calling it a divine skill would not be an exaggeration in the slightest.

A battle was, at its core, a clash of Soul Power against Soul Power. If he could absorb his opponent's Soul Power and convert it into his own, victory would already be within his grasp.

"Xiao San, use your Soul Skill on me."

After Tang Wulin spoke, he stood where he was and waited for Tang San's Soul Skill.

"First Soul Skill: Extreme Drain."

Tang San hesitated briefly. Seeing Tang Wulin looking as if to say, Come at me with everything you've got, he nodded. The deep-yellow Soul Ring beneath his feet flickered faintly. The next moment, Blue Silver Grass crazily grew from beneath the ground, directly binding Tang Wulin into a ball like countless grass pythons.

The moment he was bound by the Blue Silver Grass, Tang Wulin felt the Soul Power within his body being continuously absorbed at a slow rate.

Tang Wulin applied a little force, testing the current toughness of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. When he used the strength of an eighteenth- or nineteenth-level battle Soul Master, the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around his body could no longer withstand it. It cracked apart inch by inch and fell to the ground.

This was quite good. As his Soul Power Level increased, the toughness of his Blue Silver Grass would continue to grow as well. After two or three more improvements at most, relying on Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, his Blue Silver Grass would be able to reach the level of the Blue Silver King.

Once it grew to the level of the Blue Silver King, with Tang San's current displayed ability to drain Soul Power, combined with the hidden weapons he had mastered, even a Soul King could probably be dealt with very easily.

Regarding this, Tang Wulin could only say that Tang San's future was promising, and that his potential was terrifying.

"The Soul Skill is quite good, and its potential for development is first-rate."

"In the future, it can be paired with any Soul Skill. Continuously converting an opponent's Soul Power during battle will greatly enhance your endurance, Xiao San."

"Xiao San, what Soul Power Level are you at now?"

After commenting on Tang San's Soul Skill, Tang Wulin spoke again and asked.

"Fifteenth level, it seems."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded. He was not surprised.

Tang San had already cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to its limit for some time, and had accumulated a considerable amount of Soul Power within his body. In addition, before absorbing the Soul Ring, he had swallowed a piece of thousand-year Whale Rubber, then absorbed an eight-hundred-year Soul Ring.

With all of that combined, reaching a mere fifteenth-level Soul Power was within his expectations.

In fact, it would have been strange if his Soul Power had not reached the fifteenth level.

"Let's go. While it's still light, we should hurry and leave the Star Dou Great Forest."

Tang Wulin took several strips of meat from his storage Soul Tool and handed a few to Tang San. As he opened the way ahead, he spoke.

The Star Dou Great Forest was, after all, a paradise for soul beasts. Even its outskirts required vigilance. Since there was still enough time and they had obtained the Soul Ring, leaving as soon as possible would do them no harm.

Tang San nodded, took the strips of meat, stuffed them directly into his mouth, and followed behind Tang Wulin toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The master and disciple had only just left the Star Dou Great Forest.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, in the core region of this great danger zone where no human had ever set foot, there was a pale-green lake as smooth as a mirror. It was like a piece of the finest top-grade jade, its gently rippling surface sending out wave after wave filled with vitality.

By the lakeside, countless towering ancient trees pierced the clouds. The warm, moist air was filled with vitality that was almost tangible. That refreshing presence washed over anyone who approached, and once experienced, it was impossible to forget.

This place was known as the Lake of Life!

It was the true forbidden ground of the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as the source of all life within it.

And the existence capable of guarding such a source was the true foundation accumulated by the Star Dou Great Forest over hundreds of thousands of years.

At that moment, something stirred beneath the Lake of Life, as if some existence was about to awaken.

At the exact same instant, an extreme darkness enveloped the entire Lake of Life.

Space rippled faintly. A tremendously tall man dressed in black robes, with a resolute face, stepped across the void with a cold expression.

A strand of golden hair was mixed within the man's head of black hair.

His entire body radiated majesty and domineering might.

He was the existence known as the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, whose age exceeded eight hundred thousand years... Di Tian!

"Lord, you've finally awakened!"

At that moment, the existence known as the Beast God respectfully knelt on one knee beside the Lake of Life.

"Di Tian, my slumber has not yet ended. I merely sensed the other half of a bloodline that shares my pure origin."

"The appearance of the Golden Dragon King forced me awake. I can sense that the Golden Dragon King is very weak right now. Something seems to have happened to it, causing it to completely lose its power. It is currently in the human world."

"Go. Find him and bring him back!"

"With his help, the speed at which I recover from my injuries will increase considerably!"

A hazy, ethereal voice rang out from beneath the Lake of Life.

As Di Tian listened, his pair of golden eyes, filled with majesty, became filled with excitement and shock.

"Lord, the Golden Dragon King has returned, and he is currently weak. This is the perfect opportunity for you to devour his bloodline!"

"If you gather the Golden and Silver bloodlines, you will surely be able to recreate the glory of the Dragon God from back then and lead the dragon clan to return once more!"

"I'll go bring the Golden Dragon King back right away. Please give me his location, Lord!"

Di Tian's face was filled with excitement. He was even somewhat impatient and eager to give it a try.

The purpose guiding Di Tian throughout his life had been to restore the prosperity of the ancient dragon clan. Now that the Golden Dragon King had appeared in the world, he truly saw an opportunity for the dragon clan to regain its ancient glory.

As long as his Lord gathered the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and obtained both the Golden and Silver bloodlines, he could recreate everything the Dragon God had possessed in the past.

At that time, his Lord's injuries would no longer be a problem, and the one and only Supreme God King throughout the ages would appear once again!

"No, Di Tian. The Golden Dragon King's aura is extremely well hidden, seemingly completely concealed by the destiny of the Douluo Continent. Even I cannot deduce his exact location. Moreover, I can faintly sense a natural aura upon him. That is the aura of the Core of Life."

"Gathering the Golden and Silver bloodlines can only rely on strategy. You must not seize them by force. Go search for his location, then awaken me. I will personally act and make him willingly offer his bloodline to this king."

"Once this king gathers the Golden and Silver bloodlines and recreates the Dragon God's former appearance, I will lead the dragon clan to charge into the God Realm once more and make the dragon clan the king of kings again!"
