Jade-Scaled Flood Dragon Emperor and Jade-Scaled Dragon

"At level thirty-four, I still only had one soul skill. I was probably the only one on the Douluo Continent like this."

Yu Yuan felt helpless about it.

After all, based on the conclusions from his earlier discussion with Xiao Kong—

He should try to obtain all his soul rings from the Nine Dragon Kings.

According to Xiao Kong, since he had already gone all in—

Then the dragon race should go all in with him.

Going all in was a kind of wisdom.

Over the long years, Xiao Kong had already found the burial grounds of the Mountain Dragon King, Earth Dragon King, and Wind Dragon King.

Though it was uncertain how much power they had left—

As long as there was enough energy to form a soul ring, they could slowly figure out the rest afterward.

What mattered was the status of the Nine Dragon Kings' power.

"Do not worry, my lord. Once we dive down there, I, this little dragon, will definitely persuade those two Dragon Kings to pledge allegiance to you."

Xiao Kong was very confident. Compared to rotting away along with their bodies—

He believed the remaining consciousnesses of the Dragon Kings would be more willing to go all in with him once more, gambling on the future of the dragon race and soul beasts.

After all, that was dragon life.

The deeper the low point, the more courage one needed to go all in.

"Isn't 'pledge allegiance' a bit inappropriate?"

Yu Yuan felt that he still needed time to develop. Having two Dragon Kings submit to him now seemed a little off, did it not?

"Listen to yourself, my lord. You are the new Dragon God, the common ruler of soul beasts. What is wrong with them pledging allegiance?"

Xiao Kong grew more excited the more he spoke.

He could practically see Yu Yuan ascending to the position of Dragon God.

Failure was disgraceful, but success meant a whole new world!

"Temporal Saint Dragon, loyal!"

As for the current Silver Dragon King?

She was already useless. (No mercy.)

"Enough, stop giving speeches in my head. Have you located the bodies of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?"

Naturally, Yu Yuan was not really standing here just thinking up recipes.

Although both he and Xiao Kong knew that the bodies of the two Dragon Kings lay beneath the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes—

The underground space beneath the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes was clearly much larger than it appeared from the surface.

Only after Xiao Kong's exploration had they confirmed it.

The entire Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes narrowed downward from the lake surface, then began expanding at a certain point, forming an overall hourglass shape.

And the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were there.

"Deeper than we first imagined."

This structure went far deeper than Yu Yuan had expected.

The biggest problem was that if the ice and fire energies truly grew more concentrated the deeper they went—

Then the ice-and-fire resistance gained from consuming the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot might not be enough.

"So we need to change the plan."

According to the recipe Xiao Kong had provided, the medicinal effects of immortal herbs were strongest at the moment they were consumed.

Which meant—

After finishing the hotpot, Yu Yuan would have to jump into the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes himself and let the ice-and-fire yin-yang hotpot stew him.

It might be a little dangerous, but it was not a major issue.

At worst, he could rewind a few times.

Besides, with the help of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, Yu Yuan should be able to absorb the two immortal herbs faster.

Just as Yu Yuan was still considering the next arrangements—

A distinct martial soul fluctuation came from the cultivation room in the distance.

"Did the evolution succeed? And it seems his soul power has broken through as well."

There was no need to say much about the effects of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

It now seemed that Yu Yuan's temporary lesson on spatial geometry had been quite effective.

The poison core should have been successfully transformed and compressed into a soul core. The soul power fluctuations had already reached level ninety-three.

"Roar!"

A massive martial soul true body appeared, with four claws, three toes, a single horn atop its head, dark green scales, and deep crimson vertical pupils.

The once somewhat slender snake body had become much thicker.

The Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor had evolved...

Into the Jade-Scaled Flood Dragon Emperor.

"Congratulations, Senior."

Yu Yuan looked at the high-spirited Dugu Bo.

Mm, he could understand.

After all, the man had been tormented by poison for so many years. He had to let him vent a little now.

As for himself?

He would endure for now.

Once I become the Dragon God, I'll do whatever the hell I want.

"Haha, it is all thanks to you."

Dugu Bo dispelled his martial soul true body and landed before Yu Yuan.

Although his hair was still dark green, the poison within his body had indeed been brought under perfect control.

"Mm, since that is the case, let me explain the future path of soul cores to Senior Dugu."

It was rare to catch a Titled Douluo as experimental material, so Yu Yuan naturally had to gather proper research data.

Whether it was same-position resonance or yin-yang complementarity—

Yu Yuan felt that he needed to find someone to test them on.

"Ah, this old man suddenly needs to enter seclusion and sort through his gains. Boy, use the immortal herbs here however you like. This old man will be leaving first."

Dugu Bo immediately turned around.

Wait, there was more to that terrifying lesson?

This old man did not want to study anymore.

"Oh, right. Since this old man is entering seclusion, Yan Yan will be left to you."

Glancing in the direction of his granddaughter, Dugu Bo felt that he could offer a bit of assistance.

After saying that final sentence, Dugu Bo returned to the cultivation room at great speed.

The rest of the soul core lesson?

He would learn it another time.

"What do you mean, Sister Yan is left to me?"

Was she not your granddaughter?

You trusted me that much?

Were you not afraid I had designs on your granddaughter?

At that moment, Yu Yuan had not realized that he was actually the one being targeted.

But since Dugu Bo had said he could use the immortal herbs freely, then he would not stand on ceremony.

Yu Yuan had just mixed himself a cocktail with the Autumn Dew of Insight and drunk it—

When an obvious fluctuation of soul power came from Dugu Yan's direction as well.

She was already level thirty?

Feeling the strength of the bloodline in that direction—

It did not seem to be a flood dragon, but a genuine dragon-type bloodline.

Looking at it this way, were immortal herbs truly more useful when consumed by young people?

"Yu Yuan!"

Having absorbed the immortal herb, Dugu Yan charged over with her martial soul activated.

Then she wrapped her snake tail around Yu Yuan's lower body.

Hm? A snake tail?

Yu Yuan looked closely. She indeed had no claws.

And under the effects of her martial soul possession, both her legs had turned into a tail.

But it should have been a dragon tail.

The scales on it were clearly different from those of the previous Jade-Scaled Snake.

And the tail had become more flexible and supple.

More importantly—

Dugu Yan's hands had indeed turned into dragon claws similar to Yu Yuan's in his dragonized state.

So, this was a venom dragon with only front claws?

What kind of strange new species was that?

But Yu Yuan had no time to think about it.

After her martial soul evolved, Dugu Yan could clearly sense the dragon bloodline within Yu Yuan's body at such close proximity.

That higher-ranking bloodline, combined with Yu Yuan's outstanding looks, left Dugu Yan, who was wrapped around him, feeling dazed.

As her body pressed tightly against his, the tail around his lower body began rubbing continuously against him.

"Sister Yan?"

Yu Yuan tried to speak.

Then his mouth was sealed.

After a long exchange, Dugu Yan finally pulled away.

"Yu Yuan, you smell so good."

Then, after swallowing, she prepared to continue.

"Wait! Sister Yan, this is moving a little too fast! And we're out in the open!"

A lifelong virgin across two lives had never experienced anything like this!

He demanded a tactical timeout!

Strategist!

Strategist, save me!

"Hmm? It's fine. Once you get used to it, it won't feel fast anymore."

"Wait, the tail! At least turn the tail back first!"

Uwah.

The Temporal Saint Dragon had been obscured.
