Advancing to Soul Elder

Mu Chen's Soul Power finally stabilized slowly within his body. However, while absorbing the Soul Power from this soul ring, Mu Chen also felt a surge of heat behind his back.

It felt a little itchy, as though something were about to grow out. Mu Chen could also clearly feel that his physical condition had risen to another level. Could it be another soul bone? And an External Soul Bone at that?

Mu Chen suddenly recalled the pair of golden wings on the Golden Flood Dragon's back. Could he have obtained its External Soul Bone? Ah, well... that was a good thing. In Mu Chen's eyes, an External Soul Bone was even more useful than a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. It could continuously grow stronger alongside its host, possessing growth potential and keeping pace with him all the way.

Moreover, this should be the soul bone from the Golden Flood Dragon's wings, which meant that he would be able to fly in the future.

On a plane like Douluo Continent, only peak Soul Masters at the Titled Douluo level could fly. Yet he was merely a humble Soul Elder now. This would give him an enormous advantage in future battles.

As time passed, Mu Chen finally completed the absorption of his third soul ring.

"System, open my personal data panel," Mu Chen called out.

"Ding!

The system is at your service. The host's current personal data panel is as follows:

Host: Mu Chen

Age: 11

Martial Soul: Emperor Dragon Sword
Soul Power Level: Level 33 Soul Elder

Soul Skills: Silver Light Falling Blade, Annihilation Slash, Golden Dragon Body
Soul Bones: External Soul Bone—Dark Gold Dreadclaw, External Soul Bone—Golden Dragon Wings

Other: Nine Dragon Hairpin, Shadow Movement Technique, God-tier Cooking Skill
Current Cool Points: 2580."

Mu Chen nodded as he looked at the personal data panel before him. There was only about a year left until he went to Shrek Academy, so he still needed to improve his strength. At the very least, he had to reach the high ranks of Soul Elder.

Then he would head to Sunset Forest and pay a "friendly visit" to Dugu Bo's vegetable garden. Naturally, Sword Douluo had to come along.

Mu Chen stretched lazily, then opened his eyes, only to discover that something was terribly wrong.

Mu Chen instinctively looked in Sword Douluo's direction. Using Swift Shadow, he instantly arrived before Sword Douluo. Seeing Sword Douluo lying on the ground, Mu Chen's eyes turned blood-red as killing intent continuously gathered around him.

The Emperor Dragon Sword at his side let out a faint hum, while the Azure Dragon directly released an enraged dragon roar.

How could this be?! Sword Douluo was a dignified level 96 Super Douluo, possessing the greatest attack power on the continent. How could he have died in a place like the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest?! He had been family to Mu Chen since childhood, an elder, a teacher, and even half a father. And now he actually...

Just as Mu Chen's killing intent soared to the heavens, Sword Douluo's breath brushed against Mu Chen's hand.

Mu Chen: /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~.

So Grandpa Sword had merely fallen unconscious temporarily.

A gentle spiritual force entered Mu Chen's mind, quickly helping him "cool down." Mu Chen then settled Sword Douluo properly and turned around, only to see the Azure Dragon beside him.

Although Mu Chen was somewhat surprised by the Azure Dragon's appearance, it was still within his expectations. The Azure Dragon had probably contributed to his External Soul Bone as well. Mu Chen then looked at the silver figure in midair.

It was hundreds of meters long, with two silver horns atop its head. Its entire body was silver-white, covered in dense, hexagonal silver dragon scales. A slender silver tail trailed behind it, while a pair of enormous dragon wings spread from its back. Its massive dragon head stared at Mu Chen, and its purple dragon eyes revealed an indescribable nobility.

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, one half of the Dragon God. She wielded the powers of elements and space, inheriting the abilities of the Dragon God's nine sons aside from the Mountain Dragon King and the Golden Dragon, as well as the Dragon God's reason and wisdom. At her peak, her combat strength rivaled that of a God King.

"Ding!

System notification: Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena has appeared.

Character: Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena
Character importance: None (limited to relevance in the Douluo Continent I storyline)
Strength/Potential, calculated in units of ten: Five stars.

The system's overall evaluation is five stars. The host's Cool Points can receive a fivefold bonus."

Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the imposing Silver Dragon King before giving her a poor review.

Where was the peerless beauty he had been promised? Why was she in the form of this silver giant dragon?!

Although her true form looked pretty good, compared to a peerless beauty, the difference was more than a little. At least, that was how it was when it came to Mu Chen's attraction toward her.

"You seem very disappointed, Mu Chen!

Don't worry. As for the human beside you, I merely used spiritual power to put him to sleep.

Once he wakes up, there will be no problems at all. On the contrary, his spiritual power will improve."

The Silver Dragon King's voice reached him. It was not the thunderous voice Mu Chen had imagined, but a pleasant, crisp female voice.

"First of all, I must thank you for helping Grandpa Sword. But who are you?

No, what kind of soul beast are you? Why did you appear here? Is it because of my Martial Soul?

And how do you know my name? Aren't you afraid that such a huge body will draw the attention of the continent's human experts?" Mu Chen asked with a curious expression.

"This is merely a minor function of spiritual power. Naturally, I learned your name and information from the memories of the Sword Douluo beside you.

As for the concern you mentioned...

In my eyes, the humans of Douluo Continent are nothing more than ants. What I fear is something else. It is simply that the world around this area has been concealed by my power, so no one outside can detect the information within."

"Human, I am the leader of all soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest—the Silver Dragon King!

As for my origins, I can tell you slowly."

"I originated from the supreme ruler of soul beasts—the Dragon God. I do not know whether you have heard of the God Realm.

When humans or soul beasts on the plane of Douluo Continent cultivate to the extreme, they can ascend. Humans need to inherit a Divine Position within the God Realm, while soul beasts do not need to rely on existing Divine Positions.

Lord Dragon God was the ruler of the God Realm and possessed the greatest strength.

Even any one of the God Realm Committee's five supreme gods could not rival Lord Dragon God's power. At that time, however, the gap in cultivation speed between humans and soul beasts caused the difference in strength between the soul beast race and the gods of the God Realm to grow ever greater, and the conflict between both sides became increasingly pronounced.

In the end, when Lord Dragon God encountered problems in his cultivation, the God Realm Committee launched an extermination campaign against the soul beast race."
