God, this was really going to kill him!
A small horse pulling a big cart?
Jiang Nanchen couldn't manage that.
The Ice Dragon King chuckled and poked Jiang Nanchen's forehead. "Little Nanchen, you're blessed without knowing it. Cherish it properly."
Jiang Nanchen rolled his eyes. "I don't want to."
This was simply deadly.
Making things difficult for a six-year-old child was going too far!
"Ice Dragon King, stop fooling around. We'll be leaving soon."
The Fire Dragon King snatched Jiang Nanchen away.
Though she said that, her actions were just as forceful.
"Such a hypocritical woman." The Ice Dragon King snorted coldly.
The Fire Dragon King ignored the Ice Dragon King.
Jiang Nanchen landed on the ground and contemplated the Soul Bone skills he had awakened.
Ice Dragon King Left Arm Bone.
Soul Bone Skill One: Ice Emperor Dragon Claw.
His left arm was instantly covered in crystalline dragon scales, transforming into a massive ice dragon claw that could tear forward or seize its target.
The attack carried ultimate ice, capable of freezing the target's Soul Power and blood. Ordinary fire-attribute defenses were ineffective.
Targets caught by the dragon claw would be sealed in "Absolute Zero." If their level was a major realm below the caster's, they would be frozen and shattered outright. Those of the same level or higher would be forcibly restrained for three seconds, unable to move or use Soul Skills.
The claw's tears would leave behind an "Ice Emperor Rift." Subsequent ice-attribute damage dealt to the rifted area would definitely land as a critical hit.
Soul Bone Skill Two: Extreme Cold Dragon Might.
His left arm naturally emitted the Ice Dragon King's pressure. Enemies within thirty meters would have their movement and attack speed reduced by fifty percent, while the power of fire-attribute Soul Skills would fall by sixty percent.
When he was struck by an ice-attribute attack, he could convert thirty percent of it into recovered Soul Power.
Fire Dragon King Right Arm Bone.
Soul Bone Skill One: Burning Heaven Dragon Fist.
His right arm transformed into a lava dragon arm. With one punch, a phantom fire dragon roared and charged forth.
The attack carried ultimate fire, capable of burning the target's Soul Power, soul, and Martial Soul Avatar, while ignoring fifty percent of defense and shields.
Burning Heaven Dragonflame would remain along the fire dragon's charging path for five seconds and could not be extinguished by ordinary water-attribute attacks.
If the target already bore an Ice Emperor Rift, the dragon fist striking that rift would trigger an "Ice-Fire Collision," causing an explosion that dealt additional dual ice-and-fire critical damage.
Soul Bone Skill Two: Wrathful Dragonheart.
Influenced by the Fire Dragon King's battle instincts, his right arm would increase his attack speed by twenty percent with every successful hit, lasting five seconds and stacking up to five times.
After Jiang Nanchen understood the skills, he was immensely satisfied.
The gains were tremendous, and perhaps the Ice-Fire Dragon Bones could even be used together.
The Dual Martial Soul Fusion Skill could be researched, and a fusion skill for the two dragon bones might not be impossible either.
He simply had no time to try it yet. He would deal with it after returning.
"You can enter my Spiritual Sea."
Jiang Nanchen released his primary spiritual consciousness and allowed the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King to enter.
The two Dragon Kings exchanged a glance, then simultaneously transformed into streaks of light and drilled into Jiang Nanchen's Spiritual Sea.
After entering, they flew back out again.
The Ice Dragon King said, "Not bad, little guy. Your Spiritual Sea is quite large. No wonder you could awaken the Fire Dragon King's Martial Soul. It's just a pity you didn't awaken mine."
Veins bulged on the Fire Dragon King's forehead. "Shut up. Awakening my Martial Soul is the best outcome. Awakening yours would be garbage."
"What did you say?" the Ice Dragon King snapped. "You stinking firebird, do you believe I'll beat you up?"
The Fire Dragon King snorted coldly. "Come on, who's afraid of whom?"
Jiang Nanchen's face darkened.
Seriously?
They could even start arguing over this?
Jiang Nanchen wanted to break up the fight, but instinctively stood aside to watch the show instead. Once they tired themselves out, it would naturally end.
Sure enough.
After five minutes, the two finally stopped arguing.
The Fire Dragon King was obviously furious, clearly because she had failed to gain the upper hand.
She walked up to Jiang Nanchen. "Though I'm called the Fire Dragon King, I have a name too. It's Huo Li."
Jiang Nanchen nodded to show that he understood.
"My name is Bing Yue. Remember it, Little Nanchen." The Ice Dragon King spoke with a smile.
"This is what we call each other in private. Fewer than ten people know it, and the ones who knew before are all dead." Bing Yue raised a brow and smiled.
Jiang Nanchen's body stiffened. He was still extremely, extremely uncomfortable with being called Little Nanchen.
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King flew into Jiang Nanchen's Spiritual Sea at the same time, while Jiang Nanchen began swimming toward the lake's surface.
Meanwhile, above the lake, a week had already passed since Jiang Nanchen entered its depths.
Porcupinefish Douluo was especially anxious. A whole week had passed without the slightest movement, and Jiang Nanchen seemed to have swum toward the bottom of the lake.
Dugu Bo was nervous, but he had also formed some guesses.
Had Jiang Nanchen discovered some unusual place, which was why he wanted to explore the depths of the lake?
Perhaps that really was the case. Treasures were everywhere, and Jiang Nanchen had said that so many treasures had emerged around them because of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"What happened to little Nanchen?"
Dugu Yan was quite anxious. She had already finished absorbing the herb, yet Jiang Nanchen still had not emerged.
The three of them were each pondering the reason when the lake surface suddenly began to churn violently. In the next moment, Jiang Nanchen shot into the sky and leaped out of the water.
A huge splash drenched all three of them.
Jiang Nanchen landed on the ground and looked back at their bedraggled appearance. "Are you all okay?"
Porcupinefish Douluo dispersed the water droplets on his body and relaxed slightly. "We're fine. But Nanchen, you've been down there for an entire week."
"A week?" Jiang Nanchen was slightly stunned before saying, "I encountered some opportunities down there, so it delayed me for a while. Also, I've already broken through to level twenty Soul Power."
"Level twenty Soul Power!"
The three looked astonished and immediately examined Jiang Nanchen's condition. Sure enough, his Soul Power had risen to level twenty.
"Congratulations, young friend Nanchen. This is truly cause for celebration." Dugu Bo laughed.
Dugu Yan came over, looking somewhat dejected. "I just finished absorbing the immortal herb, and my Martial Soul evolved into the Jade Phosphor Dragon, yet you've already broken through to level twenty Soul Power. Comparing people really makes one furious."
Jiang Nanchen smiled. "I was just lucky."
Just lucky?
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes. What a show-off.
Porcupinefish Douluo was secretly delighted.
Jiang Nanchen had broken through to level twenty. He had originally worried about how he would explain things to the young master after returning, but now he no longer needed to.
Before leaving, Jiang Nanchen continued, "Before we go, I might need to pick some immortal herbs. Senior Dugu, you don't mind, do you?"
Dugu Yan shook her head with a smile. "Pick as boldly as you like. No need to be polite."
"Great."
Jiang Nanchen asked Porcupinefish Douluo for a storage Soul Tool, then began harvesting in a whirlwind.
In the blink of an eye, he had picked everything clean. No matter the size, he swept it all into his possession.
Dugu Bo watched silently. It would be a lie to say he did not feel heartache, but when he thought of his Martial Soul's evolution and his breakthrough to level ninety-two, he let it go. Moreover, he had already gained some insight into level ninety-three. Once he returned, a little cultivation in seclusion would be enough.
After storing everything in the storage Soul Tool, Jiang Nanchen walked to the exit. "Let's go."
The other three immediately followed.
After leaving the valley and passing through the poisonous miasma, Porcupinefish Douluo began selecting a Soul Beast for Jiang Nanchen's second Soul Ring.
