Golden Dragon King's Power

"These are the four soul skills I bestowed upon you. First, Strength Amplification, which instantly doubles your strength. Second, Body Amplification, which doubles your physical toughness. Third, Destructive Power, which weakens all living creatures within a hundred meters. As your soul power rises, this range will also increase. Fourth, Space-Time, which can be used in conjunction with your Martial Soul to greatly enhance its abilities. In addition, I bestowed upon you a domain: Supreme Tyrannical Power. Releasing dragon might can suppress creatures with low-grade bloodlines, especially dragon-types, and can even disrupt the target's bloodline. At the same time, it can enhance the combat power of allied dragons. It is a form of intimidation on the bloodline level."

Golden Dragon King, let me ask you something. What exactly is going on with my Martial Soul? Does the soul ring you gave me count as yours, or as my Martial Soul, Void's?

"Come to think of it, your Martial Soul is truly peculiar. Your Martial Soul cannot absorb soul rings, but Soul Beasts can merge into it, allowing you to obtain the abilities of the Soul Beasts that merge with you. Once a Soul Beast merges with it, it will generate its own soul ring, which you can use freely."

Did that mean I could have countless Martial Souls?

"In theory, yes. As long as a Soul Beast merges into your Martial Soul, you can gain a new Martial Soul. Also, the attributes I bestowed upon you are Ultimate Strength, Ultimate Defense, and Ultimate Destructive Power."

Golden Dragon King, I could feel my soul power rising. My soul power had reached level fifteen. "I didn't expect that I would raise your soul power by five levels. Three days have already passed. You have been in this space long enough; it is time for you to leave. I will fall into a period of slumber. Condensing the soul ring consumed too much of my strength. The next time we meet may be when you reach level twenty."

With that, the Golden Dragon King fell asleep, and Huo Yuhao emerged from the fantastical space within his Martial Soul, Void.

Huo Yuhao asked in a somewhat puzzled tone, "Where is this?"

"Wa hahaha! Brother has finally encountered a human with a spiritual attribute!"

A huge, plump ice worm burrowed out from underground. The ten golden markings on its body exuded an air of mystery.

"Who are you? You're so disgusting. What do you want?"

(눈_눈) Tianmeng Ice Worm looked at Huo Yuhao speechlessly, but his joy ultimately washed away that bit of gloom. "I am the first million-year Soul Beast in the history of Douluo Continent! I have chosen you. I want to become your intelligent soul ring."

"But I don't need a soul ring." "It's fine, that's a minor matter. With my abilities, I can instantly raise you five levels. From now on, call me Tian Meng."

"But, Tian Meng, my Martial Soul is a little strange. My Martial Soul itself cannot absorb soul rings, but you can enter my Martial Soul, Void, and become my Martial Soul." "What? Hmm, but that's nothing much. The world is so vast; all sorts of strange Martial Souls exist. Wait, y-you-you-you, say that again." "My Martial Soul cannot absorb soul rings, but you can enter my Martial Soul and become my Martial Soul... Tian Meng, what's wrong with that?" "Hahahaha, wonderful! I can see that you have the bearing of a god. With my assistance, you will definitely become a god."

"Ah, Tian Meng, can I become a god?"

"Of course you can. Your talent is already outstanding, and with my assistance, you will definitely become a god. Enough talking. Hurry, let's merge!"

Just as Tianmeng Ice Worm and Huo Yuhao were merging, a black orb suddenly descended from the sky and entered Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul. "Wait, what is that? How dare it steal my person! Begone, evil spirit! Damn it, what kind of existence is this?"

"Eh, Tian Meng, do you know what that black orb is?" "I don't know either. Anyway, it's very powerful. Even I can't break through its defense. Wait, that's not right. What is this golden giant dragon inside your Martial Soul? ⊙_⊙"

"Oh, you mean that? Tian Meng, it's been in my Martial Soul ever since I was born. Its name is the Golden Dragon King."

"What? The Golden Dragon King? Say that again! The Golden Dragon King is the ruler of all Soul Beasts! The Golden Dragon King is actually inside you? Wahahaha, Huo Yuhao, you are destined to become a god."

While Tianmeng Ice Worm was rejoicing, a dignified old man's voice suddenly came from the black orb. "With sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars; there is no one in this world like me."

"Hmm? Yuhao, why has that black orb stopped talking? But it doesn't matter." Tianmeng Ice Worm had already been completely carried away by joy.

Tian Meng immediately laughed and said, "I bestowed upon you four soul skills: Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing, Soul Shock, and Spiritual Interference. In addition, I have given you an External Soul Bone—skin. This is the Soul Bone of a million-year Soul Beast!"

"Tian Meng, what skill does this Soul Bone have?" "This Soul Bone's skill is..."
