Time flew by, and morning arrived the next day.
Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes. The sight that greeted him was still Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue gazing tenderly at each other.
"Young Master, congratulations on successfully absorbing it."
The two women spoke.
"Thank you for your trouble, Sisters."
Jiang Yan smiled, then lowered his head.
His gaze fell upon his hands. With merely a thought and a wave of his hand, immense golden power abruptly condensed, forming sacred golden dragon claws wreathed in nine colors.
A god-grade External Soul Bone!
Ultimate Power: Golden Sacred Dragon King Twin-Claw Bone.
As a god-grade External Soul Bone, although it had not increased his Soul Power, it was still among the finest of Soul Bones.
[Phase Mission: Soul Bone Absorption (Completed)] [As one of the world's greatest geniuses, there is nothing better than possessing a Soul Bone suited to yourself. Congratulations on obtaining your first Soul Bone!] [Mission Reward: Soul Power Level +1! One random Soul Bone!] [Congratulations, you have obtained a hundred-year Luo Sanpao Left Leg Soul Bone...]
"Hm?"
"Hajitong, you bastard."
Listening to the voice in his mind, Jiang Yan ignored Luo Sanpao and felt a wave of surprise. The system truly never missed an opportunity to help him.
Soul Bones did not add levels...
The mission reward raised them directly!
Truly overbearing.
"Thanks, System."
Jiang Yan thanked it inwardly. As he thought, the Soul Bone's abilities had already appeared in his mind.
[Current Soul Bone: Golden Sacred Dragon King Twin-Claw Bone] [God-grade: 980,000-year External Soul Bone] [Soul Bone Skill One: Ultimate Power] [While the Soul Bone state is active, strength is instantly increased by 300%, granting peerless power.] [Soul Bone Skill Two: Armor-Breaking Dragon Abyss] [Concentrates power to inflict massive damage. When facing defensive measures such as shields, its effect is doubled.] [Soul Bone Skill Three: Shadow Blade] [While in the Soul Bone state, attack speed receives a massive boost, growing faster and faster—the longer the battle, the braver the fighter.]
"..."
Jiang Yan silently took a deep breath. As for how good these Soul Bone skills were, all he could say was that they were rare. They were called skills, yet every one of them was a boost.
No mechanics, only numbers.
Pure numerical enhancement!
Triple strength, double damage against defenses, and even increased attack speed. Stack that attack speed up?
"My current self..."
"My strength is becoming more and more outrageous."
Jiang Yan could not help thinking to himself.
His first soul skill, Dragon Descends Upon the World, granted him a 100% boost while reducing the target's attributes by 30%. If the target possessed a Beast Spirit, the reduction would be even greater.
In other words, before the fight even began, the target had already been weakened while he had given himself a buff.
His second soul skill was called Archaic Dragon Body.
It increased all his attributes by 200%. During its duration, he was immune to control, mental attacks, and all negative effects.
His third soul skill, Dragon God's Prison-Shattering Strike, was even more overbearing.
It ignored all defenses to inflict fatal damage. During its effect, the target could not resist it, and it would definitely hit.
"Adding the three soul skills together, along with the Soul Bone's effects, gives me a 300% increase to all attributes plus 300% strength. That means my strength can reach six times its normal level."
"I don't know whether a Titled Douluo can fight me, but..."
At that moment, Jiang Yan somehow thought of his grandfather, Jiang Luochuan, and anticipation appeared on his face.
Next time, should he try it with Grandpa?
"Young Master, what are you thinking about? Are you dissatisfied with the Soul Bone skill effects?"
Seeing Jiang Yan's contemplative expression, Qian Renxue asked in confusion.
"It isn't that I'm dissatisfied..."
Jiang Yan shook his head and slowly explained the Soul Bone's abilities to the two people closest and most loyal to him.
When they heard that the Soul Bone skills were purely numerical boosts, the two cold, powerful women who were like eagles were both stunned.
"A triple boost."
"Pure enhancement, without any offensive power?"
Qian Renxue was momentarily dumbfounded.
"Isn't that a little too..."
"Strange?"
Bibi Dong could not help saying as well.
But before long, the two of them calmed themselves down. It did not seem so shocking after all, because...
Young Master's Martial Soul was the Dragon God.
If they were offensive skills, they truly would not be very useful later on. Numerical boosts were precisely what suited their tastes.
"Congratulations, Young Master."
For a time, both women smiled as they spoke.
"..."
Time flew by, and noon arrived.
"Di Tian still hasn't come?"
Seeing that Di Tian's aura had yet to reach their home, Jiang Yan could not help falling silent. Could it be that Di Tian had already begun acting obedient in public while defying him in private on the very first day?
But not long after he thought that...
In the living room.
"So Na'er's name is actually Gu Yuena."
"So, you are Na'er's guardian?"
Looking at Di Tian, who had come to visit, Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli both frowned, as if they wanted to speak but hesitated.
Their eyes were filled with complicated emotions. It was not for any other reason, but rather...
His face.
As the leader of the beast clan, Di Tian was naturally quite handsome. After removing the cloak he wore every day, his bearing was dignified and he could be considered a fine-looking man.
But yesterday, he had experienced the treatment Zhao Wuji received twenty thousand years ago. His face had swollen to an unknown extent, making him look rather comical.
"What do you think, Uncle?"
"What else can I think? I'm speechless!"
The two of them could not help communicating telepathically.
They both believed that if this man was a guardian, he was surely unreliable. His current state, along with the fact that he had lost Na'er three years ago, completely proved it.
"I am Gu Batian, Titled Black Dragon."
"I have come today both to awaken my young lady's Martial Soul and to... thank you for taking care of her over the past three years."
Di Tian spoke with a smile and a humble attitude.
These were the guardians of the Lord and Lady Silver Dragon King.
He absolutely had to build a good relationship with them!
Still, Di Tian's gaze shifted slightly as he thought about his current appearance. This was the thing he felt least confident about.
"Awaken her Martial Soul?"
"But Na'er was unable to awaken a Martial Soul."
Hearing this, Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli were both stunned. They turned in unison toward Gu Yuena, their faces filled with confusion.
Then a wave of anticipation rose in their hearts. Could it be that Na'er's Martial Soul could actually still be awakened?
"You have misunderstood. My young lady's Martial Soul is special and requires a special awakening method."
"When awakening it..."
"She needs a special method from her family."
Di Tian shook his head. At that moment, Gu Yuena silently rose from the sofa.
"Grandpa Jiang, Uncle, Uncle Gu is right."
"I have already awakened my Martial Soul."
She smiled faintly. The moment she spoke, the shadow of a silver dragon quietly emerged behind her, and the aura of elements throughout heaven and earth abruptly condensed.
"This is my Martial Soul..."
"The Elemental Dragon King."
Her gaze swept toward Jiang Yan as she spoke with a smile.
Brother was the Holy Dragon King...
Then she would be the Elemental Dragon King!
"Elemental Dragon King!"
Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli's eyes widened as they stared blankly at the scene before them, unable to contain the delight in their hearts.
The Holy Dragon King and the Elemental Dragon King.
Could it be... Yan'er and Na'er really were a brother and sister pair made in heaven?
"Na'er, you...?"
Jiang Yan likewise widened his eyes in bewilderment.
The Elemental Dragon King...
Na'er, did you also want Grandpa to say your Martial Soul was holy?
"..."
