The smoke released by Luosampao quickly dispersed.

Principal Su looked toward the Forest Flood Dragon.

The Forest Flood Dragon lay limp on the ground, the dark green scales on its body seeming to have lost their luster.

It was like a person who had suddenly collapsed from exhaustion, barely able to support their own body.

"This..."

Principal Su's eyes were filled with surprise.

The Forest Flood Dragon had been extremely ferocious just moments ago, powerful enough that it could not have been injured so easily.

The current situation was truly too strange.

Yu Xiaogang noticed this as well.

"The Forest Flood Dragon seems to have developed some sort of problem!"

Yu Xiaogang said in astonishment.

"Perhaps an old illness flared up?"

Principal Su guessed, though the whole matter still puzzled him.

"Never mind. For now, this Forest Flood Dragon should no longer pose much of a threat!"

"Young Master, come over and kill it!"

Yu Xiaogang turned to look behind him, his gaze falling on Li Daotian.

At that moment, Li Daotian's entire body was flushed red, and his skin had turned a purplish bronze.

If his Mystic Tiger Bloodline had not been activated, merging with the Forest Flood Dragon's essence blood this time would definitely have made him suffer terribly.

His physical constitution had risen by another level.

He felt that even without using his Martial Soul, his strength now possessed tremendous destructive power.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Yu Xiaogang sensed that something was off and was about to come over when Li Daotian waved his hand. "I'm fine."

With that, he walked toward the Forest Flood Dragon.

Yu Xiaogang took a sharp dagger from his Soul Tool.

"Young Master, use this dagger to kill the Forest Flood Dragon."

"Be careful."

Yu Xiaogang handed the dagger to Li Daotian.

To obtain a soul ring, one had to kill the Soul Beast personally.

That was the rule!

Li Daotian accepted the dagger and walked to the Forest Flood Dragon's side.

The Forest Flood Dragon's head was about as thick as a water barrel, narrowing gradually along its body, which was covered in dark green scales.

It was armored from head to tail.

The Forest Flood Dragon raised its head and glanced at Li Daotian, fury and killing intent surfacing in its eyes.

It could be called the overlord of this river, yet for some unknown reason, all the strength had suddenly drained from its body.

And now it was to be killed by a mere human!

It was unwilling to accept this.

But killing it would not be so easy.

"Surprised, aren't you?"

Li Daotian looked at the killing intent in the Forest Flood Dragon's eyes and revealed an innocent smile.

He swung the dagger at the Forest Flood Dragon's neck.

He used eighty percent of his strength in this strike.

Clang!

The dagger struck its scales and snapped in two.

Li Daotian was slightly stunned.

Damn, this beast's scales were really hard.

Yu Xiaogang and Principal Su had not expected the dagger to break either!

The two of them were somewhat embarrassed, unable to produce another weapon for the moment.

A hint of smugness appeared in the Forest Flood Dragon's eyes.

Though it was weak, it was not something a single dagger could kill.

"It really is hard."

Li Daotian sighed softly.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately took out the Mystic Bamboo Jade Marrow from the system.

The object was pitch-black like refined iron, yet cold to the touch. One end was extremely sharp and thin, while the other was round and slightly thicker. It looked like a black Long Thorn.

"Good stuff!"

Li Daotian examined it and felt that it was an exceptionally handy weapon.

"Since a dagger can't deal with you, try my weapon instead!"

Li Daotian raised the Long Thorn and viciously drove it into the Forest Flood Dragon's neck.

Crack!

The tip of the Long Thorn swiftly pierced into the Forest Flood Dragon's body, directly breaking through its scales.

"Awooo!"

The Forest Flood Dragon let out a miserable scream. It wanted to struggle, but it did not have the slightest bit of strength left.

Li Daotian brutally pulled out the Long Thorn.

Streams of blood gushed from the wound, and the stench of blood assaulted their noses.

Before the Forest Flood Dragon could catch its breath, Li Daotian once again drove the Long Thorn fiercely into its neck.

The Forest Flood Dragon let out a weak growl before finally closing its eyes in unwillingness.

Li Daotian looked at it, the corner of his mouth curling into a faint smile.

"This beast has finally been killed by me!"

Li Daotian said.

A yellow halo emanated from the Forest Flood Dragon's corpse, and a soul ring appeared.

"Young Master, sit down quickly! Release your Martial Soul and absorb the soul ring!"

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly said.

Li Daotian stored the Long Thorn in his Soul Tool.

Sitting cross-legged, he released his Soul Power. Soon, a Black Dragon Spirit appeared above his head.

Before Li Daotian could do anything, the Black Dragon Spirit emitted a domineering aura and directly drew over the soul ring nearby.

It slipped directly around Li Daotian's body.

Li Daotian closed his eyes and began merging with the soul ring.

With his physique, this six-hundred-year soul ring placed no pressure on him at all.

It could be said that the fusion was extremely easy.

Yu Xiaogang and Principal Su observed from the side.

They quickly realized that Li Daotian's fusion speed was astonishingly fast.

"Grandmaster, your Young Master will definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future. Before long, our Douluo Continent will have a Black Dragon Douluo!"

Principal Su said with emotion.

He could also be considered Li Daotian's teacher, and this favor would bring enormous returns.

Yu Xiaogang merely smiled. "What does a Titled Douluo amount to? What Young Master should pursue in the future is breaking through the barrier of Rank 99 and ascending to godhood!"

"God!"

Principal Su's expression was filled with shock.

He had never considered that before, but judging from Li Daotian's current circumstances, there was a great chance that he would one day ascend to godhood.

"Grandmaster, if that truly happens, Notting College will bask in a god's glory!"

Principal Su said excitedly.

Just as he finished speaking, a sudden wave of power erupted from Li Daotian's body.

The Black Dragon Spirit had somehow already fused with Li Daotian's body.

At that moment, Li Daotian's entire body radiated a domineering and mysterious power.

The next second, his hands rapidly transformed, growing into two claws covered in black scales, sharp and long like dragon claws.

At the same time, another strange dragon claw grew from Li Daotian's chest. It was black as ink and looked extremely eerie.

It seemed to possess some special use.

"What... Soul Skill is this?!"

Yu Xiaogang was somewhat astonished when he saw the changes in Li Daotian's body.

It was also Principal Su's first time seeing such a peculiar Soul Skill.

"It makes sense for Li Daotian's hands to grow dragon claws, but why did another claw grow from his chest?"

"That Forest Flood Dragon didn't have claws on its belly, did it?"

Principal Su could not quite figure it out.

Yet he could sense that the black claw seemed like a hidden ability.

It looked extremely secretive.

Li Daotian opened his eyes, lowered his head to look over himself, and smiled. "So this is my First Soul Skill. It doesn't seem all that powerful!"

After saying that, he turned and swung several times at the Forest Flood Dragon's corpse.

Several dark green scales immediately fell off, leaving behind several sharp claw marks.

"What sharp claws!"

Principal Su said in surprise.

"Young Master, this Soul Skill of yours is exceptionally sharp. It truly is remarkable."

"Give it a name."

Yu Xiaogang said.

"Let's call it Secretive Black Dragon Claw. Simple and clear."

Li Daotian casually gave it a name, then lowered his head to look at the black claw on his chest.

This claw would only reveal its function at a crucial moment.

For now, there was no need to test it.
