Chapter 156: The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon
Under Qin Xiao's gaze, the fiery red dragon shadow on Liu Erlong's back began to change.
As time passed, a bit of blue appeared amidst the bright red scales.
Then, the blue scales became more numerous, eventually covering the entire body of the fire dragon.
Crack, crack.
Blue arcs of electricity started to form around the martial soul.
"Erlong's martial soul has evolved towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!" Qin Xiao's eyes sparkled as she noticed the change.
At that moment, the blue dragon behind Liu Erlong suddenly posed as if roaring.
Roar! A loud dragon's roar sounded, echoing through the heavens.
Almost simultaneously, a powerful soul force erupted from within Liu Erlong, sweeping in all directions.
It was so powerful that numerous spirit herbs and poisonous plants bowed down. And this momentum kept increasing, unstoppable.
Level 77, level 78, level 79... Qin Xiao silently counted Liu Erlong's cultivation level changes.
The next moment, her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Level 80!"
It was worth noting that in just a few breaths' time, Liu Erlong's cultivation had reached level 80, marking a significant leap.
"This is excellent!"
"There's no sign of stopping. From the current situation, Erlong hasn't reached her limit yet; her cultivation can still increase."
When Liu Erlong broke through to the soul force of level 80 without any sign of awakening, Qin Xiao was not alarmed but delighted.
Of course.
Qin Xiao wasn't surprised. After all, the Holy Light Dragon was a being from ancient times. Even possessing just a sliver of its soul, the energy it contained was not to be underestimated.
Yu Yuanzhen's strength had greatly increased, and his martial soul had even evolved into the Holy Light Dragon.
Qin Xiao hoped for Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon martial soul to evolve into the Holy Light Dragon as well.
The transformation continued.
After a long time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul began to change again.
The blue electric arcs, which resembled agile snakes swirling around the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, turned purple.
"It has evolved again!"
Qin Xiao's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Boom crack.
Boom crack.
The atmosphere in the scene changed dramatically.
Above the heavens, thunderbolts descended.
They landed precisely on the martial soul behind Liu Erlong.
"Wow, is all this commotion necessary?"
Qin Xiao's eyelids twitched at the sight.
However, after realizing that the fierce thunderbolts didn't bring any actual harm to Liu Erlong, she finally relaxed.
Moreover, under the refinement of the thunderbolts, the bluish scales of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon began to show hints of purple.
It was as if a blacksmith was removing impurities from wrought iron.
In addition, Liu Erlong's soul force pressure increased again, breaking through the bottleneck of level 80 and continuing to rise.
On the other side.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others, who were busy packing up, also noticed the anomaly.
However, most of them glanced once and then looked away.
Dugu Yan asked in confusion, "Zhuqing, Yiran, aren't you curious about what's happening?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, "Curious. But I guess this thunderous power is related to His Highness, so it's better for us to stay out of it."
Uh. Meng Yiran opened her mouth, slightly stunned.
Beside her, Ning Rongrong earnestly advised Dugu Yan, "Let me tell you from experience, it's better not to inquire about these matters. Knowing too much is not good for you."
Dugu Yan: "."
Inside the cave.
Dugu Bo was quite upset, "Qin Xiao, what's with all this fuss? Are you trying to destroy my medicinal garden?"
He was bedridden and could only sense the fluctuations of the world's energy, not knowing what Qin Xiao was doing.
However.
Once bitten, twice shy, he always worried that Qin Xiao, a ruthless and cunning fellow, would trick him.
At this time.
The force of the thunderbolts in the sky gradually began to subside.
After a while, it completely dissipated.
"What a pity, it didn't evolve into the Holy Light Dragon."
"However, with Erlong's lineage, becoming the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon is also good, only a step away from Yu Yuanzhen's martial soul level."
Qin Xiao watched Liu Erlong's transformation with some regret.
The refinement by heavenly thunder is not an infinite improvement of martial soul quality. When Liu Erlong's Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, with its scales reaching a 'deep purple' level, ceased to change.
And at that moment, Liu Erlong's cultivation also stopped increasing.
"However, it's not unsolvable; it just requires some external assistance."
Thinking thus, an image of a person appeared in Qin Xiao's mind.
Yu Xiaogang!
"Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, Luo Sanpao, possesses the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon, but his talent drags it down."
"If we extract the Holy Light Dragon bloodline from Yu Xiaogang's body, there's a high chance it could help Erlong advance further, allowing the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul to evolve into the Holy Light Dragon."
The more Qin Xiao thought about it, the more eager he became.
He wished that worthless person would appear in front of him right away so he could test whether his idea was feasible.
However.
Since Liu Erlong had left Blue Tyrant Academy heartbroken, Qin Xiao hadn't really paid attention to where that worthless person had ended up.
At this moment.
Liu Erlong also opened her eyes, unable to help sighing, "Alas, ultimately I didn't make the final step, and my martial soul didn't evolve into the Holy Light Dragon."
"If I had inherited my father's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul from the beginning, my martial soul would definitely have evolved into the Holy Light Dragon by now."
Regret filled Liu Erlong's voice.
Just a little more.
She could have taken her martial soul's quality one step further.
The strength brought by the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon had already amazed her.
What kind of power would the Holy Light Dragon possess?
She couldn't imagine.
But she longed for it.
"It doesn't matter. Even as it is now, your martial soul's strength is enough to outclass many disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. In front of you, they are nothing. Even your father, the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, definitely doesn't have a martial soul of your quality."
Seeing this, Qin Xiao smiled and comforted her: "Besides, failing to break through this time doesn't mean you won't be able to break through in the future. I have a way to help you break through that barrier and achieve the Holy Light Dragon martial soul."
Of course, he didn't intend to mention Yu Xiaogang to Liu Erlong just yet.
"I still have a chance to advance further?" Liu Erlong's eyes were filled with surprise.
This was truly unexpected.
"It's not very difficult, but it will take some time. After I deal with my affairs and return, I will start working on this matter," Qin Xiao said with a mysterious smile.
Hearing this, Liu Erlong looked at Qin Xiao with a smile blossoming on her face, "Qin Xiao, thank you."
She was genuinely moved.
In this world, no man had ever been so sincerely good to her.
No.
Well, there were some.
But Liu Erlong didn't like them, so it was as if they didn't exist.
"Do you really want to thank me?"
Suddenly, Qin Xiao asked this.
"Of course." Liu Erlong answered almost without thinking.
Qin Xiao laughed, "Ha, if you want to thank me, don't be so vague. Do you dare to do something more practical?"
"What, what practical thing do you want?"
Liu Erlong was startled, a trace of apprehension on her beautiful face.
She had a feeling that Qin Xiao was going to take things too far.
Qin Xiao's gaze swept up and down Liu Erlong before he said, "Come to my room tomorrow during the day."
Liu Erlong was indeed a sight that one could not easily forget.
To your room? Liu Erlong was shocked for a moment, then guessed Qin Xiao's intention, her face instantly turning red, "You, you"
She whispered "you" twice but still didn't know what else to say.
Refuse?
Certainly not, because she was somewhat expectant.
From the moment Qin Xiao bravely saved her, his image had been deeply imprinted in her heart.
And occupied it all.
She was also willing to give everything for Qin Xiao.
But
If she didn't refuse, wouldn't it seem too forward? Unreserved?
Ah, such a difficult decision. Liu Erlong was in turmoil.
"Alright, since you don't object, I'll take it as you've agreed."
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed, intuitively guessing Liu Erlong's thoughts, naturally seizing the opportunity to press on.
"I'm not, I didn't."
Liu Erlong shook her head, indicating her objection.
Hmm.
Even a bit of resistance is good.
Lest Qin Xiao think I'm an easy person.
"Look, don't worry, as a reward for your obedience, I have some gifts to give you," Qin Xiao said with a slight smile.
Then, he casually took out a few other items he had obtained from Yu Yuanzhen.
Like the Snow Jade Crown, these items had fallen from other parts of Yu Yuanzhen's body.
He wouldn't use them anyway.
Dragon claws, dragon wings, torso bones, leg bones... Watching Qin Xiao take out one item after another, Liu Erlong was astonished.
She counted them one by one, totaling eight items. "These things seem to have a mysterious connection with me," she couldn't help saying.
This was a real and strong feeling.
She even had the illusion that these eight items were part of her body.
Qin Xiao said, "Now they belong to you."
Saying this, he lifted the suppression of his soul force.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Without Qin Xiao's suppression, the remaining parts of the True Dragon Nine Crowns, attracted by the Snow Jade Crown, naturally fell in front of Liu Erlong. They then embedded themselves into her hands, feet, torso, and other locations.
"Qin Xiao, what is this!"
"Are these soul bones?"
Liu Erlong was astounded by what happened to her body, full of wonder.
"Feel them with your heart; you should know better than me what these items are about," Qin Xiao said solemnly.
Hearing this, Liu Erlong fell silent.
She kept quiet, carefully feeling the changes as Qin Xiao had said.
Three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes... As time passed, Liu Erlong's facial expressions continuously changed.
Finally, she said with amazement, "Incredible, truly incredible, these are the remains of the Holy Light Dragon from ancient times."
Qin Xiao didn't speak, just quietly listened.
"Before its death, the Holy Light Dragon divided its body into nine parts and named them the True Dragon Nine Crowns. Then, they were sealed in the back mountain of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. Only those recognized by the True Dragon Nine Crowns could control them," Liu Erlong explained, looking at Qin Xiao with a complex gaze.
She knew that her ability to be recognized by the True Dragon Nine Crowns had nothing to do with the dragon soul inside; it was all because of Qin Xiao, who had erased the consciousness of the dragon soul and forced it to recognize her as its master.
Otherwise, with her bloodline power, it would be delusional to seek the dragon soul's recognition.
"Once the True Dragon Nine Crowns are activated, the user's strength will be enhanced to various extents."
"However, with great power comes great responsibility. Using the power beyond the fifth crown will cause irreversible damage to the body, including life, flesh, and soul. If the power of all nine crowns is unleashed, regardless of the opponent's outcome, the user will die."
Hiss. So that's how it is.
After listening to Liu Erlong's explanation, Qin Xiao's face revealed a realization.
Thinking back to Yu Yuanzhen's previous state, wasn't it exactly as Liu Erlong had described?
This was essentially Pandora's box version of the True Dragon Nine Crowns.
Immediately, he solemnly advised, "Erlong, promise me, no matter how dangerous the situation, don't use the power beyond the fifth crown. Stay alive, and I will save you."
Liu Erlong didn't directly answer Qin Xiao's words. After a moment of silence, she earnestly replied, "I'll try my best."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao's expression softened a lot, "Then get ready."
"Qin Xiao, can we not do it here? Can I come to you after we return?"
Before Qin Xiao could finish, Liu Erlong started to feel embarrassed.
It's not that she didn't want to give.
But there were too many people around here, and more importantly, the accommodation environment was simple and not soundproof.
If things got intense...
Wouldn't everyone know?
Thinking about it made her face turn red.
Too embarrassing.
"Erlong, what are you talking about? I meant to tell you to get ready, and I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul beasts."
"What?"
Liu Erlong was struck by lightning, not expecting Qin Xiao to say something like this.
This was far from the script she had in her mind.
But Liu Erlong was no ordinary person and quickly returned to normal.
She shook her head, "You don't need to accompany me to hunt for soul beasts."
"Why?" Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised.
"You have your own matters to attend to; I won't delay you."
"Moreover, I, Liu Erlong, am not a woman who must rely on a man to live. If you see me that way, you're really underestimating me."
Liu Erlong spoke seriously, "I can accept your kindness, but my world doesn't need you to meddle. I, Liu Erlong, have lived well without you all these years."
"Is that so?" After listening to Liu Erlong, Qin Xiao smiled slightly.
Not bad.
This Liu Erlong is the real Liu Erlong.
Being meek and submissive was never her style.
"Don't worry, hunting a soul beast is nothing. You shouldn't underestimate me. Although I don't have the eighth soul ring, my soul power should be around level 85 or 86. Plus, with the True Dragon Nine Crowns to protect me, even if I only activate the power of four crowns, I'm confident I can compete with a Titled Douluo."
"Besides, I won't be going alone; there's Old Zhao, Flender as well. The three of us together will definitely be safe, without any danger."
Liu Erlong said, proudly lifting her chin.
A posture of 'who else but me'.
