Dragon Blood Soul Suppression

"Holy Son, they've already left. You can come back to your senses now."

Huang Long snapped out of it and turned around, only to meet Sea Maiden Douluo's teasing smile.

She chuckled mischievously. "Holy Son, how did it feel? Was it fragrant and soft?"

"What are you talking about?" Huang Long's old face reddened as he glared irritably at the mischievous Sea Maiden Douluo.

Rather than being frightened, Sea Maiden Douluo giggled even more.

Sea Dragon Douluo glanced at Dugu Yan, who had run over beside Xiao Wu and was pretending to meditate even as her ears burned red. A playful smile tugged at his lips.

"I think that Dugu Yan is quite good. Holy Son, you can consider her."

"Consider what? I'm still young."

Huang Long glared at Sea Dragon Douluo.

Sea Dragon usually looked solemn and proper.

But in truth, he was the most improper one of them all.

Sea Maiden Douluo laughed. "Young? Many people on Sea God Island already have their first child by the Holy Son's age."

"Huh? What child?"

Just then, Xiao Wu opened her eyes as well. Three Soul Rings spun beneath her feet.

The first two Soul Rings were yellow, while the third was deep purple, with more than half of its surface covered in black.

"Nothing."

Huang Long gave an awkward laugh and hurriedly changed the subject. "Xiao Wu, what Soul Skill did you gain from your third Soul Ring?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately struck a proud pose, planting her hands on her hips. "Dragon God, it's teleportation!"

Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Maiden Douluo, and Dugu Yan all turned to look at Xiao Wu.

Teleportation? The teleportation they were thinking of?

Xiao Wu demonstrated her third Soul Skill before everyone.

She suddenly vanished from where she stood, then instantly appeared behind Huang Long, letting out a delighted giggle.

"Did you see that? This is my third Soul Skill! I can teleport anywhere within ten meters!"

"Within ten meters!"

Other than Huang Long, everyone sharply sucked in a breath.

If she could teleport freely within ten meters, wouldn't that mean no one could even catch sight of her unless they waited until her Soul Power ran dry?

Fortunately, Soul Skills like this generally consumed a great deal of energy.

Especially when teleporting over a distance of ten meters, she could only use it around ten or twenty times at most.

But if the distance was around five meters, she could teleport continuously forty or fifty times without exhausting herself.

Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo exchanged glances and both fell silent.

They finally understood why the Holy Son thought so highly of this little rabbit.

Could a Soft Bone Rabbit really possess such a divine teleportation skill?

Huang Long secretly smiled.

Was this considered powerful?

If they knew that this little rabbit would later possess Invincible Golden Body, which could render her immune to all attacks below god level for three seconds—

And even a Void Soul Skill that could ignore all physical attacks that were not energy-based while reducing any energy attack by fifty percent—he wondered what they would think.

Fortunately, this little rabbit was female.

If she had been male, she would have been a textbook protagonist.

Watching Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan's desire to grow stronger intensified.

Otherwise, forget defeating this little rabbit—she might not even be qualified to stand beside Huang Long.

Sigh... after all this time, why hadn't Grandpa returned yet?

Time slipped by quietly. In the blink of an eye, morning had turned to noon, and Dugu Bo returned with a massive dark-green serpent dragging from his hand.

But the first thing he did upon returning was not hand the Soul Beast over to his granddaughter. Instead, he said, "Sunset Forest is incredibly lively right now."

"Whether it's Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire's military, everyone is swarming into this place."

"I even ran into people from His Highness the Crown Prince just now."

His words immediately drew everyone's attention.

Sea Dragon Douluo frowned. "Did something happen outside?"

Dugu Bo gave Huang Long a helpless look. "Isn't it because the commotion caused by the Holy Son fusing with that Soul Bone yesterday was too great? Everyone thinks some treasure has emerged in Sunset Forest."

Sea Maiden Douluo asked, "Holy Son, should Sea Dragon and I drive them all out?"

"No need. Driving them out would make it seem like we're afraid of them."

Huang Long waved his hand calmly. "Let them search. Let's see what they can find."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly, then tossed the giant snake he had been dragging onto the ground before Dugu Yan.

The giant snake was around eight meters long, its entire body covered in heavy scales. The center of its head bulged slightly, as though something was about to grow out of it.

Huang Long glanced at the giant snake and grinned. "A Black-Scaled Flood Python. Its age is exactly ten thousand years."

Dugu Bo nodded. "The Holy Son truly has a keen eye! It is indeed a Black-Scaled Flood Python. Though it is a python, it possesses a trace of true dragon bloodline."

"What do you think, Yanyan? If it doesn't suit you, Grandpa will find another soul beast for you."

"There's no need, Grandpa! I think this soul beast is perfect."

Dugu Yan stared intently at the Black-Scaled Flood Python. It was as if a voice in her heart was telling her that she needed this soul beast's soul ring.

With a squelch.

Without the slightest hesitation, she summoned her Martial Soul Possession and ended the Black-Scaled Flood Python's life.

The instant the Black-Scaled Flood Python fell, a pale black soul ring slowly rose from its body, hovering in the air as it rotated sluggishly.

The moment she saw the soul ring, Dugu Yan immediately sat cross-legged and circulated her Soul Power, drawing the soul ring toward herself.

The instant the soul ring entered her body, she felt a violent surge of energy crashing wildly through her meridians!

Accompanying it was the soul shock unique to a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Her consciousness jolted with pain, as though countless steel needles had pierced her mind!

Beside her, Dugu Bo clenched his fists nervously, while Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo focused intently on observing her condition.

At first, there was little unusual about Dugu Yan's reaction.

Just like when absorbing an ordinary soul ring, the intense pain had turned all of her skin red.

Veins bulged across her forehead and neck, making it clear that she was enduring immense pain.

But these were all normal reactions when absorbing a soul ring, so everyone remained relatively calm.

Yet after only about two hours had passed.

Dugu Yan's body began to tremble violently. Fine beads of cold sweat emerged all over her body, blood seeped continuously from her opened pores, and even her aura became extremely unstable.

"This is bad!"

Dugu Bo and Sea Dragon Douluo both realized something was wrong. Dugu Yan seemed unable to hold on any longer.

Dugu Bo hurried forward, raising his hand as he gathered Soul Power, intending to interrupt the absorption.

But at that moment, Huang Long raised a hand to stop him. "Wait. Let me try!"

Dugu Bo looked utterly puzzled, then watched as Huang Long formed a blade from Soul Power, sliced open his finger, and squeezed out a drop of golden blood.

With a flick of his hand, the drop of blood landed between Dugu Yan's lips and teeth, blooming with golden radiance.

At that moment, Dugu Bo saw Dugu Yan's aura gradually stabilize. Her body stopped trembling, and the pained expression on her face slowly faded away.

"Incredible! Incredible!"

Dugu Bo was instantly overjoyed. "Holy Son, how did you do that?"

Xiao Wu planted her hands on her hips, her face full of pride. "Uncle, what do you think the Dragon God used just now? That was a drop of the Dragon God's own blood!"

"That drop of blood can promote the growth of all things, raise cultivation, and heal injuries."

"All I can say is that your granddaughter struck it big this time!"
