Gu Yuena's Breakthrough!

Gu Yuena took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Clutching the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Gazing Autumn Water Dew in her hands, she nodded at Ling Xuqing, her purple eyes shimmering with determination and brilliance.

"Yes! Brother, Na'er is going in!"

With that, Gu Yuena turned and, with light, graceful steps, stepped into the central spring where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well converged without a moment's hesitation.

"Splash--"

Water sprayed everywhere as the warm spring water instantly submerged Gu Yuena's petite frame.

On the bank, Ling Xuqing's expression was solemn. He stood with his hands behind his back, the Golden Dragon King origin within him circulating slightly. An invisible pressure shielded Gu Yuena, ensuring she would not be harmed by the violent energy of the spring.

"My Lord, I will assist you!"

Seeing this, Xiao Wu and A Yin immediately transformed into two streaks of light, hovering to the left and right above the spring.

"Xiao Wu, protect her heart meridian and soul!"

"A Yin, use your life origin to guide the medicinal power of the immortal herbs!"

Ling Xuqing issued his commands immediately.

"Understood!"

Xiao Wu gave a sharp cry and pressed her palms together. A brilliant dark golden radiance transformed into an indestructible shield, precisely enveloping Gu Yuena's heart.

A Yin released a soft, sacred blue-green light. That gentle life essence, like a delicate silk ribbon, wrapped around Gu Yuena, guiding the violent medicinal power of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Gazing Autumn Water Dew to seep into her limbs and bones, thread by thread.

Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Gu Yuena kept her eyes tightly shut, hovering cross-legged on the water's surface.

The moment the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone entered her stomach, it transformed into an extremely cool and sharp energy. Like countless tiny scalpels, it frantically sliced through and cleared the blocked meridians within her body.

The hidden injuries and impurities that had accumulated over tens of thousands of years were stripped away and purged under the scouring of this energy.

At the same time, the sweet, crisp essence of the Gazing Autumn Water Dew transformed into a spring rain that nourished her soul, frantically replenishing her spiritual sea, which had been riddled with holes from the war in the God Realm.

"Ah..."

Gu Yuena couldn't help but let out a soft moan, but it was not one of pain; it was a long-lost sense of relief, as if her soul were being cleansed.

As the impurities were purged and her soul nourished, the Silver Dragon King origin that had been sealed within Gu Yuena for tens of thousands of years finally erupted!

"Boom--!"

An extremely sacred, vast aura surged into the sky from within Gu Yuena!

Her original soul power barrier of level 24 shattered instantly under the impact of this origin, as if it were made of paper!

Level 25!

Level 26!

Level 27!

The climb in soul power did not stop; instead, it continued to soar at a terrifying speed.

Level 28!

Level 29!

Level 30!

"Hum--!"

The moment her soul power reached level 30, the void above Gu Yuena's head suddenly twisted.

A brilliant, dazzling platinum halo slowly condensed into shape!

This was no ordinary soul ring; it was the super-god-level origin soul ring unique to the Silver Dragon King!

Immediately following, four massive and profound streams of information flooded into Gu Yuena's mind from this platinum ring.

Third Soul Skill I: [Platinum Dragon Origin Unification]!

A passive, permanent effect that thoroughly refines the Silver Dragon King origin within the body, discarding all impurities. All dragon-type and elemental skills are promoted to the god-level, with their power permanently increased by 150%! Comes with an origin-locking effect, granting immunity to all sealing, deprivation, and weakening-type god skills, keeping the user in a peak, stable state at all times!

Third Soul Skill II: [Myriad Life Dragon Seal]!

An active control skill that mobilizes the Silver Dragon King's authority over all living things to condense a platinum dragon-patterned holy seal. It seals the enemy's ability to self-heal, recover soul power, or charge skills, disintegrates all buff effects, and continuously drains the enemy's life origin to convert it into pure dragon essence! It has an absolute suppression effect on evil spirits and monsters!

Third Soul Skill III: [Dragon Ruins Elemental Prison]!

A domain suppression skill that unfolds a thousand-meter-diameter exclusive elemental domain, the [Dragon Ruins Prison Realm]. Within the domain, the rules of heaven and earth elements are overturned; all elemental types fall under the user's control, and all elemental attacks from enemies are rendered ineffective and dissipated! It continuously generates destructive platinum dragon energy that pierces through all defenses!

Third Soul Skill IV: [Instant Dragon Tracing Shadow Slash]!

An instant-cast surprise attack that draws upon the Silver Dragon King's space-time origin, allowing for teleportation to any spatial point within a hundred-meter radius. It condenses ultimate platinum dragon power to unleash a triple-piercing dragon slash that strikes through the soul, physical body, and shields! It ignores all defenses and carries a space-time paralysis effect!

Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes, sacred platinum light swirling within her purple irises.

She could clearly feel that her power had reached an unprecedented height!

However, her breakthrough did not stop there.

The medicinal power of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Gazing Autumn Water Dew continued to release, and combined with the extremely dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Gu Yuena's aura continued to climb.

Level 31!

Level 32!

Level 33!

Level 34!

Finally, when all the medicinal power had been thoroughly absorbed, Gu Yuena's aura settled steadily at level 35!

"Hoo--"

Gu Yuena exhaled a long breath of stale air and leapt lightly from the spring, landing steadily on the bluestone by the bank like a dancing butterfly.

At this moment, her skin was crystal clear, like the finest mutton-fat jade.

Her long silver hair drifted without wind, emitting a faint platinum glow.

Her purple eyes were filled with confidence and composure.

"Brother!"

Gu Yuena ran quickly to Ling Xuqing and threw herself into his arms, her voice filled with excitement and gratitude: "I... I broke through! My soul power reached level 35, and I even condensed my third soul ring!"

"And I can feel that my soul and physical body have recovered by at least thirty percent!"

Ling Xuqing reached out to ruffle her silver hair, a gratified smile appearing on his face: "Congratulations, Na'er. You did very well."

Xiao Wu and A Yin also flew back, chattering happily as they surrounded Gu Yuena.

"Na'er, you were so amazing just now! That platinum soul ring is simply beautiful!"

"That's right, and your speed now—I can barely keep up!"

Gu Yuena was surrounded by the two, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Not far away, Dugu Bo, who was being pinned to the ground by Zi Ji's dragon might, had gone completely numb.

He stared blankly as Gu Yuena leapt from the spring, feeling that terrifying aura that far surpassed his own, his mind a complete blank.

"A... another one over level 30?!"

"What... what kind of monsters are these?!"

Dugu Bo felt his worldview had been completely overturned.

These two little monsters, who looked only six years old, had broken through to level 30 just by taking a bath?!

How were other soul masters supposed to live?!

Just as Dugu Bo lost his composure, Zi Ji walked slowly toward him.

She looked down at the disheveled Poison Douluo, cold, bone-chilling killing intent flickering in her purple eyes.

Then, Zi Ji turned her head, looked respectfully toward Ling Xuqing and Gu Yuena, pointed at Dugu Bo on the ground, and asked in a deep voice:

"Young Master, My Lord, how should we deal with this person?"
