The Induction of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings!

"However, this is far from enough..."

Ling Xuqing slowly retracted the wild, peerless aura surrounding his body, causing the golden dragon wings on his back and the Purgatory Golden Dragon Claws on his hands to vanish back into his body.

He took a deep breath of the cold mountain air, forcing himself to calm down from that intoxicating sense of absolute control.

As a modern person from Blue Star who had read countless novels, he understood the principle that "the tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind" all too well.

Furthermore, his current power system completely defied the common sense of the Douluo Continent.

"I definitely have to go to Nuoding City." Ling Xuqing calculated his future plans in his heart. "Su Yuntao gave me the certification for the Spirit Hall branch and allowed me to enroll in the Nuoding City Junior Spirit Master Academy as a genius student. Reporting there is mandatory, but as for actually sitting through classes... that is another matter entirely."

With his current level fifteen spirit power and those twelve god-tier spirit skills, there was likely no one in the entire Nuoding City Junior Spirit Master Academy capable of teaching him anything.

He was going there primarily for a legal identity and the monthly resource subsidies provided by Spirit Hall.

"Since my first spirit ring is a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, with my current physical strength and the foundation of the Golden Dragon King's power, I can fully support the addition of nothing but hundred-thousand-year spirit rings!"

At the mere thought of this possibility, a trace of fanaticism flashed in Ling Xuqing's eyes.

An all-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring configuration!

What kind of tyrannical and overbearing setup would that be?

Once completed, let alone being invincible among his peers, even challenging Title Douluo beyond his rank would not be impossible!

But after the fervor passed, Ling Xuqing quickly regained his composure, his brows knitting together slightly.

"However, I cannot be too careless."

Not to mention that in this era of the first Douluo, where would he even find enough hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts to serve as his "supplements"?

Moreover...

Just considering his newly reshaped six-year-old body, although it had fused with the essence of the Golden Dragon King, it was still in a developmental stage.

To carry the world-destroying energy of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, his current physical strength needed further reinforcement.

"How can I improve my physical strength?"

Ling Xuqing paced back and forth, his brain working at high speed.

Ordinary medicinal baths and physical training had become negligible for his current body.

What he needed were top-tier, heaven-sent treasures capable of fundamentally tempering his bloodline and strengthening his bones.

Suddenly, Ling Xuqing's footsteps came to a sharp halt as a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

"Right, Whale Glue!"

His eyes lit up instantly.

In the world of the Douluo Continent, Whale Glue was a treasure.

But in this era of the first Douluo, people on the continent had no idea of its true utility, regarding it only as an ordinary medicinal ingredient used by nobles for stimulation.

Precisely because of this, the price of Whale Glue was extremely cheap!

Especially those thousand-year or ten-thousand-year grade Whale Glues; because their age was too high and their medicinal potency too fierce, the nobles dared not use them, and they were essentially unwanted.

"This is a body-tempering holy relic tailor-made for me!" Ling Xuqing couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

As long as he could obtain a large amount of thousand-year and ten-thousand-year Whale Glue, combined with the circulation of the Golden Dragon King's essence, his physical strength would definitely undergo a qualitative leap!

"Should I find an opportunity to go to Hanhai City?" Ling Xuqing rubbed his chin, his mind already made up.

Hanhai City was the largest port city on the Douluo Continent and a distribution hub for Whale Glue; he would certainly be able to find what he wanted there.

But immediately after, he patted his empty pockets and sighed helplessly:

"That said, I don't have any money right now. Even the Spirit Hall subsidy probably won't cover the expenses of a 'gold-swallowing beast' like me. It seems I need to think of other ways to make money."

"Forget it, back to the village first."

Ling Xuqing shook his head, temporarily pushing these complex thoughts aside. "I'll set off for Nuoding City tomorrow to report, then wait for the academy to start. Before that, I need to properly plan for the hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts and my money-making schemes!"

With that, Ling Xuqing turned to leave the valley.

But he hadn't taken two steps before he suddenly stopped.

He tilted his head slightly, casting his gaze toward the darkness deeper in the back mountain.

From there, a deafening roar of a waterfall could be faintly heard.

In the silence of the deep night, the sound of the waterfall was exceptionally clear.

A wicked smile curled the corners of Ling Xuqing's mouth.

"Since I need to temper my body, isn't there a ready-made place right in front of me?"

Meanwhile.

In the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, extremely far from Wuxi Village, lay the Life Forbidden Zone.

This area was shrouded in dense, grayish-white mist, and the air was filled with suffocating life energy and ancient pressure.

At the center of this forbidden zone lay a silver dragon so massive it inspired despair.

Its body was like a continuous mountain range, and every silver scale radiated a soft, sacred luster.

It had been quietly dormant at the bottom of the Life Lake, trapped in a slumber that had lasted for tens of thousands of years.

However, the very moment Ling Xuqing completely fused with the Golden Dragon King's essence, the eyes of this silver dragon, closed for millennia, snapped open!

"Boom—"

A terrifying pressure instantly swept across the entire Life Forbidden Zone, and the surrounding Life Lake surged with monstrous waves.

The Silver Dragon King seemed to sense something, its massive body writhing slightly at the bottom of the lake.

Although Ling Xuqing's aura had been hidden by the Dragon God's lingering soul using its final strength while he condensed the Golden Dragon King's essence, the Silver Dragon King—as the other half of the Dragon God's incarnation—had still keenly captured that homologous aura originating from the depths of the soul!

"This is..."

The Silver Dragon King's eyes, which resembled stars, were filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

"That shouldn't be? Wasn't the Golden Dragon King sealed tightly in the Forbidden God Land by the joint efforts of the Asura God and the other gods?"

The Silver Dragon King fell into deep contemplation at the bottom of the lake, its massive dragon head lifting slightly.

Although that aura had vanished in a flash, it could not have sensed it wrong; it was the essence of the Golden Dragon King!

Moreover, that aura carried a trace of extremely strange fluctuations that did not belong to this world.

"How could there be the Golden Dragon King's essence on the Douluo Continent? Has the seal been broken? Or is it that... someone has fused with its essence?"

A stormy sea surged in the Silver Dragon King's heart.

"No, I must go and see!"

The Silver Dragon King's gaze became incomparably firm, even tinged with a hint of fanaticism.

"This is my chance, and the chance for the spirit beast race!"

"If I can truly find the Golden Dragon King's essence bloodline, perhaps our spirit beast race won't have to wait bitterly for the Emperor-level auspicious beast to hatch before we can rise in advance! And my injuries could also be completely healed through this!"

At this thought, the Silver Dragon King could no longer remain calm.

Its massive body slowly stretched out in the Life Lake, and an invisible mental fluctuation instantly pierced through layers of mist, transmitting beyond the Life Forbidden Zone.

"Di Tian, come to the Life Forbidden Zone at once!"
