Chapter 468

Soul... spirit?

Shuangling Bian repeated Light Dragon King's words doubtfully, his face full of incomprehension.

Light Dragon King nodded lightly.

"That's right, it's the soul spirit; simply put, it's a ritual to make you part of her power, but given your situation, even if you become part of her power, you can detach at any time and return to your current state. How about it, are you willing?"

Shuangling Bian looked at Huo Yutong, stared at her for a moment, and asked:

"May I ask, who is she?"

"Oh, her."

Light Dragon King said with a smile:

"She is the Dragon Queen of your new master; follow her and you won't lose out."

"Dragon Queen?!"

Shuangling Bian's gaze toward Huo Yutong changed instantly.

Huo Yutong's face turned red, she embarrassedly protested softly:

"Um, uh, Light Dragon King senior, I and Tang Wulin aren't married yet, uh, you're now talking about Dragon Queen..."

Light Dragon King hehe laughed and tapped her forehead.

"Come on, you little girl, you think I'm secretly staying in that brat's Sea of Spirit, what's my usual biggest entertainment? With you two being as close as glue, marriage is inevitable. Bottom line, this is just a human ritual; regardless of whether you acknowledge it, in my eyes you are already the new Dragon Queen of our dragon clan."

Having said that, he didn't wait for Huo Yutong to protest, then asked Shuangling Bian:

"How about it, are you willing? I can guarantee you, this girl's limit is much higher than yours; following her will definitely bring you more glory."

Shuangling Bian's gaze shifted repeatedly, his brain rapidly weighing pros and cons.

According to him, although Light Dragon King always appears carefree on the surface and is not well liked by his siblings, in reality his methods are the toughest among the Nine Dragon Kings.

Even the Water Dragon King he once followed, while showing disdain for Light Dragon King on the surface, would occasionally unconsciously display respect and trust in his actions.

Since he made such a guarantee, the matter is likely not false.

Thinking this through, Shuangling Bian finally made up his mind.

He knelt down, and at the moment his massive body knelt, the entire cavern trembled.

He lowered his tiger-like head and respectfully said: "I am willing to serve the new master."

"Good."

Light Dragon King nodded satisfactorily and beckoned to Huo Yutong.

"Come, girl, come over here, we can start the ritual."

Huo Yutong had not yet fully recovered from her shyness, but she obediently followed Light Dragon King's instructions, came before Shuangling Bian, and began the soul spirit ritual that had been used several times recently.

Watching her focus on the ritual, Light Dragon King chuckled and moved to the side of Tang Wulin, who wore a complex expression.

"How does it feel to be gradually surpassed by your own wife, my little master?"

"..."

Light Dragon King's words hit exactly what Tang Wulin was thinking, causing him to fall silent for a moment.

As Light Dragon King said, before reaching rank eighty in cultivation, his combat power had always been greater than Huo Yutong's.

This was also his greatest motivation for cultivation; whenever he thought of being able to properly protect Huo Yutong, his daily training filled him with anticipation.

But since condensing his soul core, Huo Yutong's strength has gradually surpassed his. Her Spirit Eyes martial soul evolved into the Eye of Fate, all her soul rings evolved to hundred-thousand-year level, she consecutively absorbed two soul spirits, absorbed dozens of Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow, and now she is about to absorb a god-level soul beast as a soul spirit… He feels he can no longer defeat her.

Light Dragon King put an arm around his shoulders, eyebrows dancing with joy, and said:

"Alright, don't be downcast; you've always been full of sunshine, right? Rest assured, since I acknowledge you as our new master, your future is destined not to be weak."

Tang Wulin pushed his hand away, helplessly asking: "How long is the future you speak of?"

Light Dragon King chuckled: "Until you gather the bones of the Seven Dragon Kings, if I'm not mistaken, by then you will obtain a leapfrog enhancement greater than her martial soul evolving into the Eye of Fate, regaining strength superior to hers. So you must quickly find the last two dragon bones; you already have a clue for one of them, right?"

"That's true."

However, this piece is in the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters, and to this day Tang Wulin still doesn't know where the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters is located.

It seems we need to find a way in the upcoming war to capture Ye Xi Shui and ask her.

Just then, Tang Wulin suddenly noticed that Light Dragon King's body seemed to have become somewhat translucent.

Originally his body was quite solid, aside from emitting a faint golden light, he was hardly different from a normal person.

But now his body has become much illusory, as if it could disappear at any moment.

"Light Dragon King, your body…"

"Ah."

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Light Dragon King also noticed the abnormality in his own body.

He let out a helpless long sigh.

"Sigh, really, my power is about to run out; it seems I need to hurry back to the soul bone to rest. Remember, kid, don't casually provoke god-level enemies like this again, or next time I might not be able to help you deal with them. Got it?"

At the end, he especially emphasized his tone, glared fiercely at Tang Wulin, his eyes full of threat.

Tang Wulin felt a bit embarrassed, quickly asked:

"Then how many more times can you come out?"

Light Dragon King gave him an annoyed look.

"Even once is too much; don't look at who's to blame. Alright, I'm not saying more, otherwise I'll really dissipate. I'm leaving."

Having said that, he turned into a golden light and drilled into Tang Wulin's forehead.

With that talkative dragon king gone, the air suddenly became much quieter.

In the vast space, only Tang Wulin, Huo Yutong, and Shuangling Bian remained.

Huo Yutong and Shuangling Bian were conducting the soul spirit ritual; Tang Wulin didn't want to disturb them, so after a brief thought he sat on the ground and closed his eyes.

At the same time, his qi and blood power began to slowly rush toward the Fourteenth Seal within his body.

He believed the Light Dragon King's words; gathering the seven pieces of Dragon King soul bone, his body would surely undergo a huge change.

But that doesn't mean he can slack off.

He wants to protect the people he loves, so he needs to seize every opportunity to become stronger.

He doesn't want to be powerless again when he encounters an enemy like Shuangling Bian next time, only able to push Huo Yutong aside helplessly and use his body to block the attack for her.

He must become stronger.
