"I choose the second one! The Light Dragon King!"
Without hesitation, Qian Renxue made her choice in an instant.
"Oh?" Lu Chen looked at Qian Renxue in surprise. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
Qian Renxue's tone was utterly resolute as she stared intensely at Lu Chen. "I choose the Light Dragon King!"
According to the future Heavenly Dao had told her about, she was destined to become the Angel God!
Since she was guaranteed to become the Angel God, yet Heavenly Dao had still offered her a second choice, there had to be a deeper meaning behind it!
Therefore, Qian Renxue had given up the first option without the slightest hesitation.
She, Qian Renxue, was willing to brave fire and water for Heavenly Dao, to share his burdens and solve his troubles!
She believed Heavenly Dao would never harm her!
"Interesting."
Lu Chen chuckled softly. "Since you've made your choice, take this Million-Year Breastbone."
As he spoke, a brilliant golden dragon bone fell before Qian Renxue. Her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Lu Chen.
"Heavenly Dao, can I absorb it now?"
"You can."
Lu Chen nodded slightly, unable to help finding it amusing. The little girl was declaring her loyalty.
Having received Lu Chen's approval, Qian Renxue stared fervently at the Soul Bone. This was her first Soul Bone!
Her first Million-Year Soul Bone!
She definitely would not let Heavenly Dao down!
Buzz.
Qian Renxue released her soul power, and dazzling golden light bloomed before her chest. Carrying the domineering aura unique to a Dragon King, it drew the breastbone before her toward her. The instant her soul power touched the Soul Bone, a phantom of a golden dragon soul floated out from within it.
The noble, holy aura caught its attention. It looked at Qian Renxue, lowered its once-proud head, and filled its eyes with submission.
The moment the golden dragon soul expressed its surrender, there was no longer any obstacle between the breastbone and Qian Renxue.
The instant the Soul Bone entered her body, Qian Renxue's second Martial Soul, the Light Dragon King's Martial Soul, appeared on its own.
The Light Dragon King kept its eyes shut as it coiled behind Qian Renxue. Influenced by her aura, it pulsed in a peculiar rhythm, helping her refine the Soul Bone within her body.
Seeing that Qian Renxue would still need some time to refine the Soul Bone, Lu Chen withdrew his gaze and looked in a direction below.
"It worked! The first realm of the Purple Demon Eyes, Panoramic Vision!"
Within Holy Spirit Village, Tang San finished his cultivation and rose to his feet. A faint violet gleam flickered in his eyes.
Looking toward the morning sun on the horizon, the corners of his lips rose involuntarily. After years of arduous cultivation, of rising early every day to continuously gather and absorb qi, he had finally mastered the Purple Demon Eyes.
Heaven never disappointed those who persevered!
"Unfortunately, the Mysterious Heaven Technique still hasn't budged." Feeling the Mysterious Heaven Technique within his body, which had not advanced even an inch, Tang San could not help pursing his lips.
It had been nearly a year since he reached the peak of the first level. No matter how he cultivated during that year, he had been unable to advance any further.
After repeatedly probing and gathering information from many sources, he suspected that the reason his Mysterious Heaven Technique was stuck at the first level and unable to progress was likely related to this world's Martial Souls.
But it was only a guess, and he could not be certain. He could only place his hopes on the Spirit Hall soul master who would come to Holy Spirit Village in over a year to awaken their Martial Souls.
"I wonder what my Martial Soul will be like."
"Little San! What time is it already? Why are you still sitting on the roof? I'm starving to death!"
A thunderous voice came from below. Tang San, who had still been imagining his future, could not help looking down. Seeing that it was once again his drunkard father, he smiled helplessly.
Ever since he learned to cook for himself two years ago, Tang Hao had handed over the family's "cooking authority" to him entirely.
Whenever he was hungry, he would call for Tang San. Several times, he had nearly interrupted Tang San's cultivation.
Yet Tang San felt no dissatisfaction about it. Instead, a faint sense of happiness arose in his heart.
It was wonderful to have a father.
"Alright! I'm coming!"
The next day.
As the sun and moon turned, after a full day of refinement, the domineering aura around Qian Renxue slowly began to recede. Once it had completely withdrawn into her body, she opened her golden eyes. Looking closely, it seemed as though a tiny dragon was constantly swimming within them.
"Huff!"
Qian Renxue exhaled a breath of hot air and looked at the long-waiting Lu Chen with a beaming smile. "Heavenly Dao, I've finished refining it."
"Finished?"
Lu Chen withdrew his gaze from below and looked at the graceful Qian Renxue before him, his expression somewhat calm.
Refining this Million-Year Soul Bone had taken an entire day, which was not far from the time he had expected.
There was no pleasant surprise, nor any accident.
It left him somewhat disappointed.
That otherworldly demon Tang San had once again made a tremendous leap in progress. His Purple Demon Eyes had risen by an entire major realm!
In contrast, Qian Renxue had always performed within his expectations. Not once had she brought him a surprise.
Comparing the two, he truly felt frustrated that she was not living up to his expectations!
If the Dragon Realm had not helped him so much this time, he really would have wanted to fiercely...
"Heavenly Dao, I obtained a total of four Soul Bone skills this time!"
Qian Renxue did not notice Lu Chen's mood. She spread her fingers and smiled happily.
"Four, not bad." Lu Chen nodded. "Tell me what they are."
"Mhm!"
Qian Renxue nodded excitedly and immediately activated her Million-Year Soul Bone. Golden light spread from her body, enveloping an area of one hundred meters around her.
"This is its first skill, the Saint Dragon Domain! The size of the domain depends on my strength. Right now, I can only deploy it over an area of about one hundred meters."
"Anyone enveloped by the domain has all attributes reduced by fifty percent! It also inflicts a holy light burning effect!"
"For those on the same side as me, I can increase all their attributes by twenty to fifty percent, depending on their strength and mine."
"Furthermore, flight is forbidden within the domain! Dark-attribute Martial Souls are completely suppressed! All dragon-type Martial Souls that enter my domain suffer even more severe domain suppression!"
"For example, dragon-type soul masters below Soul King level who are hostile to me cannot even display the strength of a soul master within my domain. Those on the same side as me, even if they are only level-ten soul masters, can rely on the domain's enhancement and the power of their Martial Souls to fight a Soul Elder across ranks!"
After saying that, Qian Renxue withdrew her domain, then...
"Heavenly Dao, what do you think? My domain is amazing, right?" Qian Renxue asked proudly.
"..."
Lu Chen said speechlessly, "If you still have soul power left in your body, then this domain is indeed impressive."
"But with your soul power, how long can you sustain it right now?"
"Ten seconds!"
"That's so short, only ten seconds..."
"Once my strength improves, sustaining it for a full day and night definitely won't be a problem!"
Seeing the disdainful expression on Lu Chen's face, Qian Renxue grew anxious!
What was short about it! It was not short at all, alright!
I'm only weak right now!
Using forty-level soul power to activate a Million-Year Soul Bone was already very difficult!
