Qi Ji's Soul Spirit Selection

Gu Chaosheng pressed the communication button on his desk and spoke a few words into the receiver, asking someone to bring the Titan Python Soul Spirit from storage up to the top-floor office.

After dealing with Tang Wuling's matter, he turned his attention back to Qi Ji.

Qi Ji picked up his tablet and slowly began filtering through Soul Spirits suitable for himself.

They were all Thousand-Year Soul Spirits. There had to be some dragon-type Soul Spirits, right?

Sure enough, unlike when he had operated Tang Wuling's tablet, once Qi Ji checked the dragon-type category, the page became much emptier—but there were still several options left.

But... as expected, there were no True Dragons? The list was entirely made up of Sub-Dragon species, and their bloodline tiers were clearly a notch lower.

Qi Ji did not find that particularly regrettable. Although Soul Spirits could be forcibly transformed through mediums such as soul bones, making True Dragon Soul Spirits less difficult to find than wild True Dragons, they were still exceptionally rare.

Looking across all of The Legend of the Dragon King, the only True Dragon Soul Spirit was probably Na'er's White Dragon. Other than that, he had never heard of any Soul Master who could use a True Dragon Soul Spirit.

Still... to be honest, Qi Ji was not particularly impressed by the remaining Sub-Dragon Soul Spirits either.

His martial soul faintly conveyed a sense of rejection—those beings all possessed bloodlines that were far too inferior. It would rather take a Blue Silver Grass as a Soul Spirit than use those low-blooded Sub-Dragons.

That arrogance from the depths of its bloodline was clearly reflected in Qi Ji's consciousness.

"...Uncle Gu, could I take a look at the Unyielding Soul Spirits?" Qi Ji set down his tablet, raised his head, and looked seriously at Gu Chaosheng.

"Unyielding Soul Spirits?" Gu Chaosheng was slightly taken aback, one brow rising. "Kid Qi, did I hear you right?"

"Of course." Qi Ji nodded, his tone certain. "My martial soul is very proud. It refuses to fuse with those things that have such inferior bloodlines."

"Proud, huh?" Gu Chaosheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully and could not help sighing.

"That makes sense... a True Dragon martial soul capable of suppressing a Golden Dragon. What kind of pride would that possess?"

He pondered for a moment, as if weighing something, before making up his mind. "True... Kid Qi, if it is your martial soul, it should be able to suppress those Unyielding Soul Spirits, right?"

He took the tablet from Qi Ji's hands, used his authority as pagoda master to perform some operations in the backend, unlocked a brand-new interface, and handed it back.

The moment Qi Ji received it, he noticed the difference. The quality of the Soul Spirit list on this interface was clearly more than one tier above the previous one.

Every single one began at the level of top-tier Soul Beasts. There were ancient variants, rare bloodlines, and even Soul Spirit recreations of certain extinct Soul Beast species produced through special methods.

Without hesitation, Qi Ji filtered for dragon types again. This time, the results made his eyes light up.

True Dragon Soul Spirits. Although there were not many, True Dragons had indeed appeared.

"True Dragon Soul Spirits are far harder to tame than humans imagine," Gu Chaosheng explained from the side.

"Unless there is an existence with a stronger bloodline, they will not submit. Even after being made into Soul Spirits, the pride in their bones will never bow to lower bloodlines. That is why we generally do not place this type of Soul Spirit on public lists. We only grant access after confirming that a Soul Master has sufficient talent. After all, fusing with an Unyielding Soul Spirit is also an extremely dangerous matter."

Qi Ji nodded thoughtfully. He understood Gu Chaosheng's reasoning—even a peak Sub-Dragon such as a Tyrant Dragon was an Unyielding Soul Spirit. Unless it encountered a bloodline at the level of the Golden Dragon King, it would never lower its head easily.

Not to mention these True Dragon Soul Spirits recreated from various ancient relics. Their pride would only surpass that of a Tyrant Dragon.

Then I really can give this a try.

No one knew better than him how suppressive the Dragon God Crown Prince was toward ordinary members of the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon God Crown Prince was the true heir apparent of the Dragon Clan, with a status no less than Zhu Biao's in the Ming Dynasty. In the entire Dragon Clan bloodline hierarchy, he was second only to the Dragon God.

If that great catastrophe had not caused the crown prince's death, the Dragon God most likely would not have gone mad. More likely, he would have raised the crown prince into a supreme God King, then put everything aside and gone looking for his wife.

"I think so too." Gu Chaosheng nodded. "After all, I have never heard of a martial soul capable of suppressing a Golden Dragon."

Speaking of which, the matter had truly shocked them beyond measure.

Among known Dragon Clan martial souls, the Golden Dragon had always stood at the apex of the pyramid. A martial soul that could make a Golden Dragon bow its head—what level of existence would that be?

Qi Ji began browsing through the list of True Dragon Soul Spirits.

His gaze swept over one name after another. Every one of them was a legendary True Dragon.

Then his eyes suddenly locked onto a target.

"Year 3584, Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit."

Yes... she was the one!

Qi Ji opened the information page for that Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit.

Rainbow Dragons were gentle by nature, among the more peaceful and friendly kinds of True Dragons. Yet even so, she had become an Unyielding Soul Spirit.

The reason was simple: her standards were simply too high.

Rainbow Dragons were hailed as natural dragon queens. Only dragons at the Dragon King level could command a Rainbow Dragon.

Ordinary human martial souls could not catch her eye at all. Even after being made into a Soul Spirit, she was unwilling to commit herself to a master with an unremarkable bloodline.

"Rainbow Dragon?!"

Gu Chaosheng and Luo Yuhang leaned in almost simultaneously, all four eyes fixed firmly on the name on the screen.

Both of their martial souls were dragon-type, so they naturally knew something about Rainbow Dragons.

Although Rainbow Dragons did not excel in combat power, their support abilities were unparalleled. As martial souls, Rainbow Dragons were support-type martial souls far stronger than the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

They possessed the same noble percentage-based amplification as the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, while also having the potential to break through to Soul Sage. Moreover, because they were beast martial souls—and dragon-type martial souls at that—their physical strength would not be much weaker than that of same-ranked battle Soul Masters with ordinary martial souls.

With a Rainbow Dragon's support, a teammate's strength, speed, defense, recovery, mental power, and every attribute could receive comprehensive enhancement.

If she could work together with Qi Ji's equally seven-colored "Seven-Colored Dragon" martial soul...

Gu Chaosheng and Luo Yuhang exchanged a glance, then both inhaled sharply.

Other Dragon Clan Soul Masters could not tame a Rainbow Dragon because their bloodline levels truly were insufficient.

But Qi Ji's "Seven-Colored Dragon" could even suppress a Golden Dragon. Taming a Rainbow Dragon... should not be a problem, right?

"Uncle Gu... Uncle Qi... do you think I can really make the Rainbow Dragon my first Soul Spirit?"
