Breaking Level Twenty: A Small Horse Can't Pull a Big Cart

Oh heavens, this was really going to kill him!

A small horse pulling a big cart?

Jiang Nanchen couldn't do that.

The Ice Dragon King chuckled and poked Jiang Nanchen's forehead. "Little Chenchen, you don't know how lucky you are. Cherish it properly."

Jiang Nanchen rolled his eyes. "I don't want to."

This was simply fatal.

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.

"What a hypocritical woman." The Ice Dragon King snorted coldly.

The Fire Dragon King ignored her.

Jiang Nanchen landed on the ground and examined the awakened soul bone skills.

Ice Dragon King's 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 frozen by "Absolute Zero." If their level was one major realm below the user's, they would be shattered directly. Targets 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 "Ice Emperor Rift." Subsequent ice-attribute damage dealt to the rifted area would always critically strike.

Soul Bone Skill Two: Extreme Cold Dragon Might

His left arm naturally emanated the Ice Dragon King's pressure. Enemies within thirty meters had their movement and attack speed reduced by 50%, while the power of fire-attribute soul skills dropped by 60%.

When he was struck by an ice-attribute attack, he could convert 30% of it into recovered Soul Power.

Fire Dragon King's Right Arm Bone.

Soul Bone Skill One: Burning Heaven Dragon Fist

His right arm transformed into a molten dragon arm. With one punch, a phantom fire dragon roared forth.

The attack carried ultimate fire, capable of burning the target's Soul Power, soul, and Martial Soul Avatar. It ignored 50% of defense and shields.

"Burning Heaven Dragonflame" would remain along the fire dragon's path, burning continuously for five seconds and unable to be extinguished by ordinary water-attribute attacks.

If the target already bore Ice Emperor Rift, the dragon fist striking the rift would trigger "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, each successful attack from his right arm increased his attack speed by 20% for five seconds, stacking up to five times.

After learning about the skills, Jiang Nanchen was thoroughly satisfied.

His gains were enormous, and perhaps the ice and fire dragon bones could even be used together.

The Dual Martial Soul Fusion Skill could be researched, and a dual dragon bone fusion skill might also be possible.

He simply had no time to test it now. It would be better to return first.

"You can enter my sea of consciousness."

Jiang Nanchen released his primary divine consciousness, allowing the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King to enter.

The two Dragon Kings exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned into streaks of light and flew into Jiang Nanchen's sea of consciousness.

After entering, they flew back out again.

The Ice Dragon King said, "Not bad, little fellow. Your sea of consciousness is quite vast. No wonder you were able to awaken the Fire Dragon King's Martial Soul. It's just a pity that you didn't awaken mine."

Veins bulged on the Fire Dragon King's forehead. "Shut up. Awakening my Martial Soul is the best. Awakening yours would be trash."

"What did you say?" the Ice Dragon King snapped. "Stinking firebird, do you believe I'll beat you up?"

The Fire Dragon King snorted. "Come on, then. Who's afraid of whom?"

Jiang Nanchen's face darkened.

Seriously?

They could argue over this?

Jiang Nanchen wanted to mediate, but instinctively chose to stand aside and watch the show. Once they tired themselves out, it would naturally end.

Sure enough.

Five minutes later, the two finally stopped arguing.

The Fire Dragon King was clearly furious, evidently because she hadn't gained the upper hand.

She walked over to Jiang Nanchen. "Although 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 Chenchen." The Ice Dragon King spoke with a smile.

"These are the names we use in private. Fewer than ten people know them, and those who knew before are all dead." Bing Yue raised a brow and smiled.

Jiang Nanchen's body stiffened. He was still extremely, extremely unaccustomed to being called Little Chenchen.

The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King flew into Jiang Nanchen's sea of consciousness at the same time, while Jiang Nanchen began swimming toward the lake's surface.

Meanwhile, above the lake, a week had passed since Jiang Nanchen entered its depths.

Porcupinefish Douluo was especially anxious. A week had passed without the slightest movement, and Jiang Nanchen had apparently swum toward the bottom of the lake.

Dugu Bo was nervous, but he had also formed a few guesses.

Had Jiang Nanchen discovered some peculiar place, which was why he wanted to dive deep into the lake to investigate?

Perhaps that was truly the case. Treasures were everywhere, and Jiang Nanchen had said that so many treasures had emerged nearby because of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"What happened to little Nanchen?"

Dugu Yan was rather anxious. She had already finished absorbing hers, yet Jiang Nanchen still had not emerged.

The three each pondered the reason. Suddenly, the lake surface began to churn violently. The next moment, Jiang Nanchen shot into the sky and leaped from the water.

A tremendous splash drenched all three of them.

Jiang Nanchen landed on the ground and looked back at the three soaked figures. "Are you all okay?"

Porcupinefish Douluo shook the water droplets from 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 I was delayed for a while. Also, I've already broken through to level twenty Soul Power."

"Level twenty Soul Power!"

The three showed expressions of surprise and immediately examined Jiang Nanchen's condition. He had indeed reached level twenty Soul Power.

"Young friend Nanchen, congratulations! This is truly cause for celebration." Dugu Bo laughed.

Dugu Yan moved closer, feeling somewhat defeated. "I only just finished absorbing the immortal herb and evolved my Martial Soul 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 just got 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 upon returning, but now there was no need to worry.

Before leaving, Jiang Nanchen continued, "Before we go, I may 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."

"Alright."

Jiang Nanchen then asked Porcupinefish Douluo for a storage Soul Tool and began harvesting in a whirlwind.

In the blink of an eye, he had harvested everything. No matter the size, he swept it all away.

Dugu Bo watched silently. It would be a lie to say he did not feel heartache, but when he thought of his Martial Soul Evolution and his breakthrough to level ninety-two, he accepted it. Moreover, he had already gained some insight into level ninety-three. After returning, he only needed a little cultivation and seclusion.

After putting everything into the storage Soul Tool, Jiang Nanchen went 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.
