The Terrifying Purple Sky Divine Thunder Tiger Martial Soul

The training grounds of the Imperial Prince's Residence.

Dai Chengqian's soul power surged as he released his martial soul.

"Purple Sky Divine Thunder Tiger, possess me!"

A burst of purple light erupted from Dai Chengqian's body.

His entire body swelled in an instant. His arms stretched out, his chest thrust forward, and every bone in his body crackled.

Purple arcs of electricity curled around him, and even his hair faintly took on a purple-gold hue.

On his forehead, three horizontal strokes and one vertical stroke slowly formed the purple character for "king."

Two yellow soul rings rose from beneath his feet.

Dai Chengqian looked at the dummy ahead and tried releasing his second soul skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave.

An enormous sphere of purple light condensed, then shot out in an instant.

Purple arcs of electricity wreathed the beam of purple light. The instant it touched the dummy, a muffled explosion rang out.

The dummy was instantly vaporized by the impact of that powerful energy.

The beam also blasted a crater more than ten meters deep into the ground beneath the dummy.

"That's ridiculously powerful! The old White Tiger Fierce Light Wave couldn't even compare!" Dai Chengqian couldn't help exclaiming.

Next, he tried using White Tiger Protection Barrier, which surprised him all over again.

With the enhancement of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, the defenses of White Tiger Protection Barrier reached a terrifying level.

He just didn't know whether it could rival the Defense Clan, whose martial soul possessed ultimate defense.

Aside from testing his soul skills, Dai Chengqian discovered that his upgraded Purple Sky Divine Thunder Tiger martial soul had an even more formidable ability.

He could freely control the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder contained within his body.

For example, he could send Purple Heaven Divine Thunder crashing down directly on his enemies.

He could weave Purple Heaven Divine Thunder into an electrical net to paralyze and restrain them.

He could even leave behind electric arc seeds, then detonate them when enemies approached, making them explode like land mines.

These could already be considered self-created soul skills.

Dai Chengqian was extremely satisfied with the strength of his martial soul.

Although he had never compared them, he felt that his Purple Sky Divine Thunder Tiger martial soul should be even stronger than Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, that so-called greatest tool martial soul in the world.

Its only drawback at present was its enormous consumption.

Freely controlling Purple Heaven Divine Thunder consumed a tremendous amount of soul power. After only a short round of testing, Dai Chengqian's soul power was completely exhausted.

Still, those were minor issues. Once his level rose in the future, they would naturally unravel like a knot beneath a blade.

He opened the system panel, which displayed information about his Red Luan.

[Red Luan No. 1: Zhu Zhuyun]

[Soul power level: 32]

[Binding type: emotional connection, physical connection.]

[Red Luan Connection level: lv.1]

[Affection: 100 points, unwavering unto death]

[Current total number of Red Luan bindings available: 2]

Looking at the Red Luan panel, Dai Chengqian recalled the system's earlier description.

The first way to benefit from a Red Luan was for her to level up, which would grant him soul power in return.

The second was to increase her affection, which would grant those roulette-draw rewards.

However, thanks to the beginner reward, Zhu Zhuyun's affection was already maxed out, so gaining rewards through affection was no longer an option.

The third way to obtain rewards was to raise the Red Luan Connection level, which would also reward him with roulette draws.

But...

How do I raise this Red Luan Connection level?

Does "connection" mean what I think it means?

Just then, a servant approached and reported to Dai Chengqian:

"Sixth Prince, Miss Zhu Zhuyun is here. She says her luggage is ready and asked me to find out when you intend to depart."

Dai Chengqian's eyes lit up.

Couldn't I just try it and see whether it levels up?

"His Majesty said we were to leave today. Have Zhu Zhuyun come in, and go prepare the carriage."

"Yes."

Not long after the servant left, Zhu Zhuyun approached in high heels, a long black robe draped over her fitted outfit.

The moment she saw Dai Chengqian, her gaze fixed on him, her love so intense it nearly spilled over.

"Sixth Prince, this is all my fault. If it weren't for me, His Majesty wouldn't have punished you by sending you to the Star Dou Great Forest for training.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you properly during this training trip."

Although Dai Chengqian was younger than Zhu Zhuyun, he was by no means short.

Zhu Zhuyun stood 1.75 meters tall, yet Dai Chengqian towered a full head above her.

Stroking Zhu Zhuyun's head, Dai Chengqian smiled and said:

"Don't worry. Training in the Star Dou Great Forest isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Zhu Zhuyun nodded obediently.

"Yes, Sixth Prince, you're right. In any case, if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me. I'll do exactly as you say."

After a short wait, a servant brought the prepared carriage to a stop before Dai Chengqian.

"Sixth Prince, your carriage is ready.

"Her Highness asked me to tell you that although His Majesty is nominally punishing you this time, he actually wishes to give you some training. Please set out with an easy mind.

"She also said it would be best if you could obtain a soul ring before returning. His Majesty would certainly be pleased when you report back. If you make a modest request then, he might agree on the spot."

Dai Chengqian glanced at the servant and smiled. "Tell my mother I appreciate her advice. I understand what to do."

With that, Dai Chengqian stepped into the carriage, and Zhu Zhuyun followed closely behind.

In the world of Douluo Continent I, soul tools had yet to flourish.

Even though Dai Chengqian was an imperial prince, he still couldn't enjoy advanced things like soul tool cars or flying soul tools.

However, the carriages of the Imperial Prince's Residence were different from ordinary ones.

Imperial carriages were built with great care. The entire carriage body was made from the wood of thousand-year-old plant-type soul beasts.

The interior was exquisitely designed and incorporated some basic soul tool technology, giving it excellent shock absorption.

There was even a small bed, small chairs, and a small table inside. They could sit and drink tea in the carriage, making it quite comfortable.

Inside the carriage, Dai Chengqian's gaze settled on Zhu Zhuyun.

With her long black cloak draped around her, Zhu Zhuyun sat on the edge of the small bed, gazing at Dai Chengqian with deep affection.

Dai Chengqian pointed at her long black robe.

"Um, aren't you hot wearing that in the carriage?"

Zhu Zhuyun blinked, understanding the meaning behind his words.

She slowly removed her long cloak, revealing the fitted black outfit beneath it.

The leather outfit clung tightly to her, outlining every curve of her lovely figure.

Dai Chengqian swallowed as he looked at Zhu Zhuyun.

"Um, you said earlier that you'd do anything I asked, right?"

Seemingly understanding what Dai Chengqian meant, Zhu Zhuyun blushed and spoke in a soft, alluring voice:

"Anything you ask, Sixth Prince."

"Good. Traveling is boring anyway, so let's play the most fun game in the world."

"What game?"

"A card game called poker. Come here, I'll teach you."

Six hours later.

Dai Chengqian opened the carriage window to let in some fresh air.

On the small bed inside, Zhu Zhuyun slept soundly beneath her long black cloak, her fair calves exposed.

Clearly, playing the game had worn her out...

He opened the system panel.

Dai Chengqian saw that the Red Luan Connection level had changed from lv1 to lv2.

After Dai Chengqian's careful and meticulous testing, it turned out that the Red Luan Connection level did indeed rise through connecting with a Red Luan.

Moreover, the connection had to last a long time. Too short, and it wouldn't level up.

Although it had risen by one level, the system hadn't given him any rewards.

Dai Chengqian figured that its level was probably still too low.

He just didn't know how many levels it needed before he would receive a reward.

Was it lv5? Or lv10?

Half an hour later, the sky gradually darkened.

Dai Chengqian pushed open the carriage door and stepped down.

"The Star Dou Great Forest. Finally..."
