Hell Demon Dragon Emerald Swan

"Do I choose one ten-thousand-year-level Indomitable Soul Spirit, or two thousand-year Indomitable Soul Spirits?"

???

Three question marks popped up over Gu You's head. Leng Yaozhu's question completely scrambled his thoughts.

How had he never thought of it before? Although attempting to fuse with a ten-thousand-year soul spirit was risky, after fusing with a thousand-year one, he could use the Spirit Ascension Platform to ascend its spirit directly.

Of course, the prerequisite was having an expert bring you into the Spirit Ascension Platform to kill soul beasts. Without someone to carry you, a one-ring soul master ascending a thousand-year spirit to ten-thousand-year was absolutely impossible!

Still, he planned to attach soul rings to both martial souls. He still had no idea how long it would take for his spiritual power to advance from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Spirit Abyss Realm. Before that, he only had three purple soul spirit slots.

One purple soul spirit could provide him with three soul rings at most. If he fused with two purple soul spirits, then he only needed to break through to Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power before reaching six rings.

But if he had one black soul spirit, he would have to break through to Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power before reaching four rings. The difficulty was obvious. He wasn't stupid.

Although the amplification from one ten-thousand-year Indomitable Soul Spirit would definitely be stronger than two thousand-year Indomitable Soul Spirits, the drawbacks after fusion were clear. It wasn't worth it.

"Teacher, let's keep it as planned. Having a black soul spirit would at most provide me with four soul rings. Breaking through to Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power before five rings is too difficult."

Gu You shook his head and said.

"That's true. A black soul spirit is good, but spiritual power limiting the number of soul spirits is a problem." Leng Yaozhu didn't dwell on the topic. In truth, even if he got stuck, she had ways to solve it.

At worst, he could skip fusing with soul spirits and absorb real soul beast soul rings.

"Now release the Creation Heaven Phoenix. Let me take a look."

Leng Yaozhu continued.

Gu You nodded. Although he couldn't merge with his martial soul, he could still release it for Leng Yaozhu to observe.

At that moment, Leng Yaozhu raised her hand, and a stream of gentle, fiery-red soul power wrapped around Gu You.

"Relax your mind and release your martial soul."

Gu You closed his eyes, and the soul power within his body began to circulate.

Along with an ethereal phoenix cry, a phantom of a phoenix glowing with nine-colored radiance slowly condensed behind him.

Between the phantom's wings, the aura of life surged.

Seeing this, shock surfaced in Leng Yaozhu's eyes.

She was already certain this was undoubtedly a true phoenix martial soul.

Because her martial soul was trembling.

"What a rich vitality." Leng Yaozhu carefully sensed the aura released by the Creation Heaven Phoenix, and her brows lifted. "Hm? Your martial soul seems to contain the attribute of destruction as well. No, why are there fluctuations of other elemental energies too?"

Gu You opened his eyes, puzzled.

"What is it, Teacher?"

Leng Yaozhu frowned. "I don't know. Your martial soul is even more complex than I imagined. It seems able to transform the life attribute for use as other attributes..."

"It even has such an absurd conversion trait."

Gu You was astonished. He hadn't expected his martial soul's trait to be this absurd. Life energy could be converted for use as other attributes. In that case, he had already decided which two types of soul spirits his two martial souls would fuse with.

"That said, it still needs development. We'll only be able to tell after you fuse with soul spirits."

Leng Yaozhu agreed with Gu You's view. If this trait was confirmed, it really was absurd. A martial soul compatible with all attributes—how powerful it could become was difficult to imagine.

"Teacher, among the Indomitable Soul Spirits of the East Sea Spirit Transmission Pagoda, are there an Emerald Swan and a Hell Demon Dragon? I've studied knowledge related to the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. Both of them are among the standouts, and both are extremely suitable for my Creation Heaven Phoenix and Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon martial souls."

Gu You voiced his idea for fusing with soul spirits.

"Not bad. You know quite a lot. Of course there are. Even if there weren't, I'd make sure there were. They are indeed both quite suitable. We'll do as you said in a moment."

Leng Yaozhu was becoming more and more amazed by this disciple of hers. A six-year-old child knew this much and possessed such terrifying talent. In the future, surpassing Sky-Prop Douluo and becoming the new peak of the continent was only a matter of time.

"Vice Pagoda Master, the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Cabin is ready. Do you need to designate the entry coordinates?"

At this moment, the staff member who had received them earlier walked back.

He glanced at Gu You, thinking, So this is the child who's going to fuse with an Indomitable Soul Spirit?

Can someone this young really do it? Isn't there a risk of danger?

But then again, a child brought here by the Vice Pagoda Master definitely had something extraordinary about him.

"Yes. My requirement is that when he opens his eyes, he appears right in front of the soul spirit. Gu You, come. Remember this day. From now on, you are no longer an orphan, but a soul master."

After Leng Yaozhu replied to the staff member, she looked at Gu You.

Gu You's gaze sharpened, and he followed after her.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in a pure white room. Inside were two upright glass cabins.

Above the glass cabins was a soul-guided liquid screen.

The staff member stepped forward and operated the glass cabin for a while. The screen began to change, and he looked toward Leng Yaozhu.

"Hell Demon Dragon."

Leng Yaozhu uttered four words.

The next moment, a giant purple dragon appeared on the screen. Its entire body was covered in purple scales, and it was more than ten meters long, sleeping peacefully inside a cavern.

"Hell Demon Dragon, 5,800-year age, a pure-blooded true dragon branch with extremely powerful devouring and destructive abilities. A rare dragon-type Indomitable Soul Spirit," the staff member introduced.

Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu You, and Gu You nodded.

"Emerald Swan."

Leng Yaozhu spoke again, and the staff member hurriedly operated the controls. The image on the liquid screen switched.

The cavern where the Hell Demon Dragon had been sleeping vanished, replaced by a lake rippling with emerald waves. The lake water was so clear one could see the bottom, and it brimmed with vigorous life force.

On the lake, an Emerald Swan was resting quietly.

Its form was somewhere between a swan and an immortal phoenix, its entire body covered in crystalline jade-green feathers.

"Emerald Swan, 6,400-year age," the staff member continued introducing. "It is currently the highest-grade healing-type Soul Spirit in the East Sea Spirit Transmission Pagoda. This type of soul beast has a very gentle temperament and is not considered an Indomitable Soul Spirit, but its quality is higher than that of an ordinary Indomitable Soul Spirit."

"Teacher, let's enter the Spirit Ascension Platform. Start with the Hell Demon Dragon first. The Emerald Swan will be easy to fuse with."

Gu You was very satisfied with the two soul spirits. Neither of their ages was low, and their quality was high as well.

"All right. Set the coordinates beside the Hell Demon Dragon."

Leng Yaozhu spoke to the staff member.

After everything was set, the two of them entered the glass cabins.

Metal rings closed one after another, locking his body in place. The glass cover outside descended, enveloping Gu You within.

"Prepare to enter!"

Circles of golden light began to glow on the metal rings. He only felt an intense tingling sensation instantly spread through his entire body, and the next moment, his vision went completely blank.

He did not know how much time had passed when a breath of fresh air rushed toward his face.

"What is this?"

Gu You reached forward and felt around, touching something hard.

He opened his eyes and saw a single dark-purple vertical pupil, larger than his face, glaring at him in anger.

Gu You looked at his hand. It happened to be stroking the Hell Demon Dragon's head.

Holy shit!

He hurriedly withdrew his hand. Gu You had not expected the rebirth coordinates to be this accurate—he had just woken up, raised his hand, and there was the Hell Demon Dragon.

Right now, he did not even count as a Soul Master, so he could not resist. Leng Yaozhu should not be far from him. As long as he stalled until she made a move, a few seconds would be enough.
