Soul Hunting in the Heaven and Earth Dragon Valley

Lin Yao answered without hesitation, "I want to focus on the black dragon martial soul. By the way, I call it the Ender Dragon Martial Soul. As for its first soul skill, I hope it will be a self-enhancement."

Regarding the Ender Dragon Martial Soul, Lin Yao knew he needed to develop it step by step, so choosing a self-enhancing soul ring for his first one was the most appropriate and secure path.

Lin Xueli did not object to his son's choice. In fact, given his many years of teaching in Douling, he had also intended to suggest that his son cultivate a dragon-type martial soul first.

Although theoretically, saving high-tier soul rings for dragon-type martial souls would yield greater benefits, in this day and age, might made right.

If he lacked obvious combat power for a long period, Lin Yao might very well die before he ever reached the point of attaching soul rings to a dragon-type martial soul.

"Our relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire has grown very close recently. There is a subtle sense of the two nations uniting to resist Star Luo and Sun Moon, preventing either of those two from swallowing us whole," Lin Xueli told Lin Yao. "Therefore, if you cultivate a dragon-type martial soul, your father can take you to a great place suitable for a low-tier soul master with a dragon-type martial soul."

Lin Yao looked at Lin Xueli with some confusion. Although he had read the novel Peerless Tang Sect in his past life, the current reality was not a thin novel, but a complete, tangible world.

In some novels, things that could not be seen from Huo Yuhao's perspective were absolute blind spots in Lin Yao's knowledge.

As for the relationship between Heavenly Soul and Douling, it was understandable; after all, they were, in a true sense, one family ten thousand years ago.

In this era of excessive external pressure, it was only natural that there would be a tendency to reunite for the sake of mutual interest.

The flying carriage convoy crossed the border between the Douling and Heaven Dou Empires, flying toward a valley on the edge of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Lin Xueli introduced it to Lin Yao: "This is a place discovered by the sages of the Heaven Dragon Sect and Earth Dragon Sect years ago. It seems particularly suitable for the growth of dragon-type soul beasts, and under human control, a large number of sub-dragon soul beasts exist within."

"Because it is governed separately by the Heaven Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect, it is called the Heaven and Earth Dragon Valley."

Lin Yao nodded. This was truly an interesting place, specifically suited for the growth of dragon-type soul beasts. According to the nature of the Douluo Continent, there was an eighty percent chance that a true dragon of high quality was sleeping beneath this place.

The carriage slowly stopped on an open space in front of the Heaven and Earth Dragon Valley. At the entrance to the valley stood two youths wearing clothes of different colors; they were clearly disciples of the Heaven Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect.

Lin Xueli walked up, handed a token to the disciple of the Heaven Dragon Sect, and then, after offering a cigarette to the disciple of the Earth Dragon Sect, said, "Everything was agreed upon beforehand."

The Heaven Dragon Sect disciple glanced at the token, then waved at Lin Xueli and said, "Go in. Be careful not to slaughter the soul beasts indiscriminately; choose carefully before you strike."

Lin Xueli nodded. He certainly knew the value of sub-dragon soul beasts, and even without being told, he would not wantonly kill or injure sub-dragon soul beasts that did not belong to Lin Yao.

After all, as people aged, they began to believe in fate, fearing that cutting off someone else's opportunity might trigger some terrible backlash, adding insult to injury for his own precarious lifespan.

Walking into the Heaven and Earth Dragon Valley, Lin Xueli said to Lin Yao, "Yao'er, take this short blade. I will follow you from a distance and intervene only when you encounter danger you absolutely cannot handle. Consider this a simple way to train your abilities."

Lin Yao nodded and took the short blade from Lin Xueli's hand. The blade was thirty centimeters long, with an edge of about twenty centimeters. The body of the blade curved slightly upward, and it felt quite heavy in his hand; it must have been forged from high-quality rare metal.

Lin Yao was not surprised by the hunt for soul rings in the Heaven and Earth Dragon Valley. Although his father had promised not to kill soul beasts indiscriminately, such agreements were always void if the soul beasts took the initiative to attack.

Even when the disciples of the Heaven Dragon Sect and Earth Dragon Sect entered, their elders usually followed behind, leaving the actual training to the juniors.

Lin Yao walked toward the depths of the Heaven and Earth Dragon Valley, mainly traversing the territory of the Heaven Dragon Sect.

The overall strength of the Heaven Dragon Sect was stronger than that of the Earth Dragon Sect, so the soul beasts here should naturally be better.

After pushing aside a patch of bushes, Lin Yao saw something in the area of the Earth Dragon Sect that bordered the Heaven Dragon Sect's territory.

It was a tree. The tree itself was nothing rare; what truly interested Lin Yao were the fruits growing on it.

The fruit was deep purple, with bumps all over its skin, looking just like dragon scales.

Seeing this, Lin Yao could basically confirm that a true dragon of considerable strength must have been laid to rest here.

As for what kind of dragon it was, he had no idea. The Ender Dragon Martial Soul did not sense any aura that could threaten it; after all, it was an existence that could withstand the will of a god for a minute.

Though that god hadn't really been trying to kill him.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Yao stepped toward the fruit tree.

He, Lin Yao, was not a disciple of the Heaven Dragon Sect, and when he entered the Heaven and Earth Dragon Valley, he had already received the joint consent of both the Heaven Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect.

The original agreement was that he could enter both sides' territories; it was just that his father was more familiar with the Heaven Dragon Sect, which was why they had started in their territory.

Just as Lin Yao flew up and was about to reach the Dragon Scale Fruit, two gusts of wind flashed from both sides, and a fragrant, soft figure crashed into Lin Yao's arms.

Lin Yao flipped in the air, and while controlling his body, he felt a cold light graze his head.

Rolling into the bushes with the fragrant figure, Lin Yao hadn't even said a word before a blade was pressed against his throat.

A girl with short black hair, wearing a pink Chinese-style cheongsam, was looking at Lin Yao with vigilance, shouting sharply, "Where did you come from, brat? Why are you so ignorant of the rules?"

Lin Yao suddenly grabbed the girl's wrist, instantly snatched the blade from her, and threw it onto the ground nearby before saying, "I really don't know the rules of the Heaven and Earth Dragon Valley. What exactly did I do wrong?"

The girl was slightly stunned, and then a sound of air being torn came from the direction of the fruit tree.

Lin Yao couldn't be bothered to argue with the girl any further. He grabbed her shoulders, suddenly spread the wings of the Ender Dragon from his back, and flew past quickly with her.

The girl looked at the huge dragon wings on Lin Yao's back, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, and then she said to Lin Yao, "You aren't from the Heaven Dragon Sect..."
