Time flew by, and morning arrived the next day.
Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes. Before him were still Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, gazing at him tenderly.
"Young master, congratulations on absorbing it successfully."
The two women spoke at once.
"Thank you for your trouble, sisters."
Jiang Yan smiled, then lowered his head.
His gaze fell upon his hands. With a mere thought and a wave of his hand, immense golden power abruptly condensed, transforming into sacred golden dragon claws wreathed in nine colors.
A God Rank External Soul Bone!
Ultimate Power: Golden Sacred Dragon King Twin-Claw Bone.
As a God Rank External Soul Bone, even though it had not increased his Soul Power, it was still among the finest of soul bones.
[Stage Mission: Soul Bone Absorption (Completed)] [As one of the world's greatest geniuses, having a soul bone suited to yourself could not be better. 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 surge of surprise. The system truly never missed an opportunity to help him.
Soul bones did not increase levels...
Yet the mission reward raised them directly!
That was downright overbearing.
"Thanks, System."
Jiang Yan silently thanked it. As he pondered, the abilities of the soul bone appeared in his mind.
[Current Soul Bone: Golden Sacred Dragon King Twin-Claw Bone] [God Rank: 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 methods such as shields, the effect is additionally doubled.] [Soul Bone Skill Three: Shadow Blade] [While in the soul bone state, attack speed receives a tremendous increase, growing faster and faster as battle continues.]
"..."
Jiang Yan quietly drew a deep breath. As for how 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.
There were no mechanics, only numbers.
Pure stat boosts!
Triple strength, double damage against defenses, and even increased attack speed. If he stacked that attack speed...
"Me now..."
"My strength is getting more and more outrageous."
Jiang Yan could not help but think silently.
His first Soul Skill, Dragon Descends Upon the World, gave him a 100% boost while reducing the target's stats by 30%. If the opponent possessed a Beast Martial Soul, the reduction would be even greater.
In other words, before the fight had even begun, the target was weakened while he had already buffed himself.
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 and dealt fatal damage. During its effect, the target could not block it, and it was guaranteed to hit.
"With the three Soul Skills combined, plus the soul bone's effects, that's a 300% increase to all attributes and another 300% increase to strength. In other words, my strength can reach six times its normal level."
"I don't know whether I can fight a Titled Douluo, but..."
At that moment, Jiang Yan did not know why, but he thought of his grandfather, Jiang Luochuan, and an expectant look appeared on his face.
Next time, should he try it against Grandpa?
"What is Young Master thinking about? Are the soul bone skill effects not satisfactory enough?"
Noticing Jiang Yan's thoughtful expression, Qian Renxue asked in confusion.
"It isn't that they aren't satisfactory..."
Jiang Yan shook his head and slowly explained the soul bone's abilities to the two women before him, his closest family and confidantes.
When they heard that the soul bone skills were nothing but pure stat boosts, the two women—both as proud, cold, and powerful as eagles—were stunned.
"A triple boost."
"Pure enhancement, without any offensive skill?"
Qian Renxue was momentarily dumbfounded.
"Isn't that a little too..."
"Strange?"
Bibi Dong could not help but add.
Yet soon afterward, both women quickly calmed themselves. On second thought, it did not seem all that shocking, because...
The young master's Martial Soul was the Dragon God.
If they were powerful offensive skills, they would truly become less useful later on. Stat boosts were what suited them best.
"Congratulations, Young Master."
For a moment, 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 but fall silent. Could it be that Di Tian had begun acting obedient on the surface 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, are you Na'er's guardian?"
Looking at Di Tian, who had come to visit, Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli both frowned, seeming to want to speak but holding back.
Their eyes were filled with complicated emotions. It was not for any other reason, but because of...
The man's 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 after experiencing Zhao Wuji's treatment from twenty thousand years ago yesterday, his face had swollen to an unknown extent, making him look rather comical.
"What do you think, Father?"
"What else can I think? I'm speechless!"
The two of them could not help communicating through mental transmission.
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, had fully proven that point.
"I am Gu Batian, the Black Dragon Douluo."
"I have come to visit not only to awaken my young mistress's Martial Soul, but also... to thank you for caring for her these past three years."
Di Tian spoke with a smile, his attitude humble and courteous.
These were the guardians of both his lord and the Silver Dragon King.
He absolutely had to build a good relationship with them!
Still, Di Tian's eyes shifted away slightly when he thought of his current appearance. This was the part of himself he felt least confident about.
"Awaken her Martial Soul?"
"But Na'er hasn't awakened 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 anticipation rose in their hearts. Could it be that Na'er's Martial Soul could still be awakened after all?
"You two misunderstand. My young mistress's Martial Soul is special and requires a special method of awakening."
"When awakening it..."
"It requires a special method unique to her family."
Di Tian shook his head. At that moment, Gu Yuena silently rose from the sofa.
"Grandpa Jiang, Uncle Jiang, Uncle Gu is right."
"I have already awakened my Martial Soul."
She smiled slightly. The moment she spoke, the shadow of a silver dragon quietly emerged behind her, and elemental energy throughout heaven and earth suddenly condensed.
"This is my Martial Soul..."
"The Elemental Dragon King."
Her gaze swept toward Jiang Yan as she spoke with a smile.
Big 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 hide the joy in their hearts.
The Holy Dragon King and the Elemental Dragon King.
Could it be... Yan'er and Na'er truly were a pair of siblings made by heaven itself?
"Na'er, you...?"
Jiang Yan also widened his eyes in confusion.
The Elemental Dragon King...
Na'er, do you also want Grandpa to say your Martial Soul is holy?
"..."
