Light-Dark Dragon Transformation Art

Tang Xiao took a deep breath, looked deeply at Dugu Chen, and said in a low voice:

"I'm Tang Xiao. My Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, a level seventy-eight assault-type Soul Saint. Please enlighten me!"

Dugu Chen nodded slightly, then glanced at Tang Hao, who was standing to the side watching the show. "Why don't you two brothers come at me together? I'm in a hurry!"

Hearing that, even Tang Xiao, who was normally well-mannered, could no longer hold back. He said coldly:

"Brother Dugu, do you look down on me? Focus on our match. Defeat me first before speaking of anything else!"

With that, Tang Xiao summoned the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Clear Sky Hammer was an entirely black hammer. Its handle was about half a foot long, while its hammerhead was round. Beneath its pitch-black exterior shimmered a peculiar gleam.

A faint ring of patterns coiled around the hammerhead.

The instant the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavier. As Tang Xiao's Soul Power surged forth, the hammer rapidly expanded in his hand against the wind, soon reaching four or five feet in length.

On the other side, Dugu Chen was no less imposing.

Dazzling golden light abruptly flared from between his brows, and beneath that golden radiance, a dragon-shaped rune emerged.

Immediately afterward, the golden light spread outward, descending from his brow and enveloping his entire body, bathing him in holy light.

That blinding radiance instantly spread outward with him at its center, making Tang Xiao in the distance, as well as Tang Hao and Ah Yin watching from the side, narrow their eyes.

As the golden light faded, Dugu Chen's body underwent a tremendous transformation.

He now resembled a humanoid dragon. His hands and feet had turned into dragon claws and dragon legs, while two bulges protruded from his forehead between his brows, clearly dragon horns that had yet to fully develop.

The right side of his chest was covered in pure golden scales, as though he wore a suit of golden-scaled dragon armor. Majestic and domineering, he also emanated a terrifying True Dragon Pressure that swept through the surroundings.

The air seemed to cool several degrees beneath that terrifying aura, only to become scorching hot a moment later. Even space twisted in ripples.

As that dreadful pressure descended, Tang Xiao felt as though a massive boulder were pressing against his chest. He let out a muffled grunt and stared at Dugu Chen with utmost gravity.

What intense pressure. What a terrifying aura...

It seemed he had truly encountered an opponent this time!

At that moment, Tang Xiao noticed the Soul Rings slowly rising beneath Dugu Chen's feet, and another layer of shock appeared in his eyes.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and red—seven Soul Rings slowly rose beneath Dugu Chen's feet. After circling once above his head, they gradually descended and finally hovered around his body.

A faint golden pattern flickered across the red Soul Ring. Together with that scarlet Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring came a terrifying aura, ancient and primordial in nature.

What did a red Soul Ring represent? It represented one hundred thousand years. It represented a Soul Ring produced by the most powerful Soul Beasts, as well as the highest-grade resource and wealth.

At that moment, Tang Xiao froze on the spot.

Even Tang Hao and Ah Yin, standing to the side, held their breath, their faces taking on indescribable expressions.

But Tang Hao recovered after only a moment.

His aura became exceptionally rough. His eyes reddened, and he panted like a bull. The fighting spirit in his gaze could no longer be suppressed, as though he would rush forward to fight Dugu Chen the very next moment.

Ah Yin instinctively covered her lips, violent ripples spreading through her eyes.

Her gaze held a trace of complexity and helplessness...

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring... It's actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?!" Tang Xiao murmured softly, unable to recover for a long time.

That was because Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings were simply far too rare in this era. It was no wonder the three of them were so shocked.

Dugu Chen watched quietly from afar and did not take advantage of Tang Xiao's daze to attack. In truth, he also wanted to test just how powerful he had become after his breakthrough.

And... test out the newly acquired seventh soul skill, Sacred Dragon True Form!

After being distracted for only a brief moment, Tang Xiao completely regained his senses. His gaze toward Dugu Chen gained a trace of complexity.

But then, as if he had noticed something.

His gaze suddenly fixed upon the changes in Dugu Chen's body, as though he had discovered something unbelievable.

He pointed at the changes in Dugu Chen's body, surprise appearing on his face. "Brother Dugu, this is actually the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's Dragon Transformation Secret Art. Could it be that you are from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

But immediately afterward, confusion appeared on Tang Xiao's face. He did not recall anyone this formidable among the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect...

Dugu Chen gently shook his head.

"I am not from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect... However, this Dragon Transformation Secret Art did indeed originate from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

This Dragon Transformation Secret Art had been personally obtained for him by Dugu Bo after advancing to Title Douluo and traveling to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Although he did not know what his father had traded for it, Dugu Bo handed the Dragon Transformation Secret Art to him upon returning and never spoke a word about the transaction.

After obtaining the Dragon Transformation Secret Art, Dugu Chen began studying it.

However, during the process, he felt that the circulation of his Soul Power was somewhat obstructed, as though something crucial was missing.

After much consideration, he decided to improve the Dragon Transformation Secret Art.

After years of research, he successfully modified the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's Dragon Transformation Secret Art into a secret art suited to himself.

He named it—the Light-Dark Dragon Transformation Art!

As the name implied, one cultivation art could serve two purposes. The transformation of the Radiant Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was the Light Dragon Transformation Art, while the transformation of the Dark Saint Dragon was the Dark Dragon Transformation Art. The two did not conflict with one another.

Strictly speaking, it no longer belonged to the category of the Dragon Transformation Secret Art. Rather, it was a secret art he had redesigned for himself based on its foundation.

After hearing this, Tang Xiao nodded slightly. He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer with both hands, battle intent blazing in his eyes.

Dugu Chen took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

At that moment, the temperature of the air around him continuously rose, while dense Light Power seemed to materialize around his body.

When he opened his eyes again, Dugu Chen's pupils had completely transformed into bright golden slits.

"Roar—"

A dragon's roar, sharp enough to split gold and crack stone, erupted from within Dugu Chen. Terrifying Light Power instantly spread outward, and the first yellow Soul Ring lit up.

"First Soul Skill, Light Dragon Body!"

The first soul skill, Light Dragon Body, granted Dugu Chen a thirty percent increase to all attributes. It greatly enhanced his physical strength for a short time, causing his defense to soar. Soul Masters of the same level would find it difficult to break through his defenses.

Moreover, after activating this soul skill, Dugu Chen's attacks carried innate dragon might, capable of suppressing his opponents.

"Light Dragon Claw!"

Dugu Chen shouted lowly, his body turning into a streak of golden lightning. The two-hundred-meter distance vanished in an instant as he thrust out his hand, the Light Dragon Claw wrapped in dense Light Power striking fiercely toward Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao's expression changed drastically. What incredible speed!
