The First Victim of Dragon God's Claw, Guang Ling Douluo

Guang Ling Douluo suddenly choked.

He coughed lightly twice before finally recovering.

"I'm saying, you seem to be getting on in years. If you really can't manage, have Bi Ji take a look at you. She's the best healing-type soul master."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion mocked him without restraint.

"I'm still young. Among Titled Douluos, I'm an eighteen-year-old genius," Guang Ling Douluo retorted.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion wanted to say more, but Bi Ji pressed a finger to her mouth and shook her head. "All right, he's a guest."

Guang Ling Douluo immediately seized the chance to provoke her. "Hear that? I'm a guest!"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out an "Awoo!" "Once I take human form, I'll go to Spirit Hall and see whether you'll serve me tea and wait on me!"

"I'll be waiting. You're welcome anytime."

Guang Ling Douluo raised a brow and smiled.

After finishing her tea, Bibi Dong looked at the Fifth Priest acting like a child and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Just like that, three days passed in a flash.

During this time, Di Tian not only guided him with divine sense, but also used the Black Dragon's essence blood to forcibly awaken the Dragon God's power that had long been unable to condense within Jiang Qingyu's right arm.

The process was like countless claws tearing through his heart. Jiang Qingyu endured that pain until it was finally over.

When Di Tian opened his eyes, Jiang Qingyu's arm had already taken on the form of a golden dragon claw. It contained terrifying power; once unleashed, it could suppress soul beasts through bloodline pressure.

Of course, this was not the true Dragon God's Claw. It was merely an initial awakening.

Jiang Qingyu opened his eyes and instantly collapsed to the ground. His face was pale, his breathing ragged, and his entire body drenched in sweat.

That process had been far too deadly. It had nearly killed him.

At that moment, Bi Ji arrived with Three-Eyed Golden Lion in her arms, accompanied by Bibi Dong and Guang Ling Douluo. They saw Jiang Qingyu's condition.

Bibi Dong and Guang Ling Douluo hurried over. Seeing Jiang Qingyu like this, they were greatly alarmed.

"Is little Qingyu all right?"

"Qingyu, are you okay?"

Guang Ling Douluo and Bibi Dong helped Jiang Qingyu up at the same time.

"I'm fine. Just a little tired."

Jiang Qingyu caught his breath and recovered considerably after resting for a moment.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you're tired, just say so. I'll have Bi Ji restore you."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked toward Bi Ji.

Bi Ji immediately understood. She raised a hand and released a green healing light that enveloped Jiang Qingyu's entire body.

In no time at all, Jiang Qingyu had fully recovered.

"Thank you."

Jiang Qingyu thanked her.

"You're welcome. You're a guest too. Besides, this is the first time I've seen a human who's so strong and even more beautiful than me, and you're someone Lord Fire Dragon King and Lord Ice Dragon King favor."

Bi Ji stroked Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fur, her admiration plain to see.

Jiang Qingyu merely gave her a look, showing little emotion.

Bi Ji had heard about Jiang Qingyu's personality, so she did not mind it much.

Jiang Qingyu began examining his right arm. He could already condense the rudimentary form of Dragon God's Claw.

Darkgolden Terror Claw had become Dragon God's Claw.

Seeing Three-Eyed Golden Lion's blissful expression, Guang Ling Douluo could not help but laugh. "And you still say you're not a little kitty. Doesn't the way you enjoy having your fur stroked prove it?"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had been enjoying herself, instantly bristled. She opened her mouth and bared her teeth. "You bastard! Di Tian, beat him up for me!"

Di Tian pretended not to hear.

You want me to beat up the grandfather of someone both aunties favor?

If you think I'm not dying fast enough, just say so.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned to Bi Ji again. "Bi Ji, look at him! Beat him up hard for me!"

Bi Ji smiled helplessly. "Forget it."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion raged impotently. Just as she was about to argue, she realized that Guang Ling Douluo had already ignored her.

This is infuriating!

"Little Qingyu, let Grandpa be your sparring partner and test out your Dragon God's Claw!"

Guang Ling Douluo truly wanted to test the power of Dragon God's Claw.

Jiang Qingyu nodded, and everyone else began moving away in all directions.

As he activated his soul power, golden light suddenly burst from the Dragon God's Claw on his right arm. After locking onto Guang Ling Douluo, he sharply raised it. "Dragon God's Claw!"

Rumble!

A phantom of a golden dragon claw appeared in the sky and began pressing down like it was blotting out the heavens.

"Damn, it's huge!" Guang Ling Douluo's eyes widened.

Guang Ling Douluo's aura erupted. The Light Ling Divine Bow appeared in his hand, and he drew the bowstring before firing an arrow.

The Light Ling Arrow shot forth, but the moment it struck Dragon God's Claw, it shattered almost instantly.

Guang Ling Douluo's expression changed drastically. He prepared to block the attack with pure strength and charged upward.

The instant he rushed beneath Dragon God's Claw, he was slammed straight into the ground.

"Grandpa Guang Ling." Jiang Qingyu froze, then hurried over. Guang Ling Douluo's body had been smashed into the earth.

Guang Ling Douluo braced his hands against the ground and slowly stood up, dusting himself off. "I'd planned to take it head-on with brute force, but I didn't expect the suppression to be this strong. Good thing I don't have a beast martial soul. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the strength to fight back."

"Your hide is tough enough. Dragon God's Claw isn't an ordinary attack, and you really had the guts to take it head-on with brute force!" Three-Eyed Golden Lion clicked her tongue twice.

Guang Ling Douluo did not care. "What do you know? I was testing it out. Besides, my little Qingyu would never truly go for the kill. Do you think everyone is like you, acting like a cat every day?"

"You—awoo!" Three-Eyed Golden Lion was furious, completely furious. But after getting angry for only a moment, Bi Ji pushed her back down.

"All right, all right. You're not a child either. If we're talking age, you're much older than him. Aren't you ashamed?"

Bi Ji tapped Three-Eyed Golden Lion on the head.

"I know." Three-Eyed Golden Lion huffed, clearly unconvinced, then immediately jumped into Jiang Qingyu's arms.

"Bad Bi Ji!" Three-Eyed Golden Lion said unhappily.

"You, honestly." Bi Ji was helpless.

It was Jiang Qingyu's first time stroking her. She felt good to the touch, and her fur was smooth beneath his hand.

"You're using it fairly well. The rest is up to you to explore on your own. I've already taught you the first step. Once you can truly use it proficiently, shattering a martial soul true body with one strike will not be a problem."

Di Tian thought very highly of Jiang Qingyu.

He was the third person besides the Dragon God to learn how to use Dragon God's Claw, and he was even a human.

"I say, Di Tian, there's no need to explain so much. We'll tell Qingyu as well."

Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King appeared at the same time.

"Aunt Fire, Aunt Ice!"

Di Tian hurriedly bowed.

Bi Ji bowed as well.

Fire Dragon King said, "No need for all this trouble. I don't like such tedious formalities. And Bi Ji, bring me some of that tea of yours."

"It's Clear Dew Tea, Lord Fire Dragon King," Bi Ji said.

"Yes, yes, Clear Dew Tea. Bring me some, and Di Tian, get some good meat. When we get back, I'll have Qingyu cook it for me to try."

Fire Dragon King licked her lips, the corners of her mouth curling slightly. "Qingyu's cooking is excellent. I want to taste it."

Ice Dragon King said, "You're just greedy."

"I'm willing to be." Fire Dragon King looked utterly unconcerned.

Di Tian and Bi Ji hurried off to make preparations. Hearing there would be something delicious, Three-Eyed Golden Lion stood up and pressed both paws against Jiang Qingyu's chest. "I want some too!"

"You still want to eat?" Guang Ling Douluo burst out laughing. "You should just eat your grass!"
