Chapter 199: Dragon Soul

A low roar came, and a tall, luminous figure walked out from the forest.

It was a Tyrannosaurus rex with its feet on the ground and short forelimbs, but what was peculiar was that this Tyrannosaurus rex was not a physical entity, but appeared as a transparent, earthy-yellow energy form.

"Is this another form of dragon soul?" This was the first time the three women had seen a creature in the Dragon Valley. While curious, their expressions also became serious; after all, without soul power, their combat effectiveness was not very high.

Such a sturdy Tyrannosaurus rex was clearly not easy to deal with.

"This is indeed a dragon soul, but it is the most ordinary type of dragon soul. Compared to the dragon clouds, their energy level is lower, but they possess a certain level of consciousness. Most dragon souls are very aggressive. When you encounter them, as long as you can defeat them, the dragon-type aura will merge into your body and improve your physique."

As he spoke, Shi Quan tapped his toes on the ground, and a powerful force erupted, directly leaving a pit in the ground. The next second, a golden light flashed, and the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan appeared in Shi Quan's hand.

Watching the Tyrannosaurus rex charging over to bite, he slashed out with his sword.

"Indeed, but this also shows that our direction is correct."

"Boom—"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's keep going."

"However, the power of these dragon souls is not useless." As he spoke, Shi Quan took a diamond-shaped crystal from his Hundred Treasure Bag.

"Lingling is right." Dugu Yan also nodded in agreement, "But I just don't know how strong the dragon souls in the Dragon Tomb are; these dragon souls are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with."

"Why?"

"It's here."

The three women did not dwell on it too much.

Therefore, Shi Quan only took action to finish off all the dragon souls at the beginning. Later on, he deliberately left some dragon souls for the three women to practice with. Even Ye Lingling, who was an Auxiliary Soul Master, was made by Shi Quan to participate in the battle.

They continued forward, and another day passed.

Being able to jump so high relied entirely on their own physical fitness.

"Xiao Quan, what is this?" The three women looked curiously at the Spirit Bone Enhancer in Shi Quan's hand.

"It's alright. The speed and attack intensity of sword control have a lot to do with Mental Power. Without soul power, the strength of sword control is limited. The most important thing is that the Xuanyuan itself is powerful enough. If it were an ordinary longsword, it would be very troublesome to deal with this group of phantom dragons."

"Let's go. The appearance of dragon souls is good news for us."

"It's okay." Shi Quan chuckled. Can controlling a sword to kill enemies not be cool?

"Xiao Quan, how do you control these Xuanyuan?" Zhu Zhuqing also looked curiously at the Xuanyuan hovering around, "Could it be that you can use soul power?"

"So that's how it is." The three women then suddenly realized and nodded.

"How does it feel?" Shi Quan asked with a smile.

After walking for another two days or so, the group finally walked out of the plain, and the dragon clouds in mid-air became sparse.

Shi Quan then stopped in his tracks, and his Spirit Sense spread out. Soon, a dragon soul emitting a faint red glow was wandering about. This dragon soul was over twenty meters tall, its wings spread out behind it, its whole body seemed to have invisible flames rising, its long tail dragged behind it, and its pair of front claws were incomparably sharp.

"Wow, Xiao Quan, your Xuanyuan can split up? So cool!" Dugu Yan looked at this magnificent scene with stars in her eyes.

Continuing forward, they encountered more and more dragon souls as they entered the dense forest, but most of them were ordinary dragon souls with weak strength. Almost all of them were killed by Shi Quan controlling the Xuanyuan to perform long-range sword strikes. The journey was quite easy, and the three women did not have a chance to make a move.

"I'll handle it." Shi Quan drew the Xuanyuan from his back and nodded at Xiaomeng on his right shoulder. Xiaomeng immediately understood, her wings fluttered slightly, and silver light flickered around her.

"That's right." Ye Lingling stepped with the Rippling Wave Steps, shattered the core of a dragon soul with one palm, and continued: "Xiao Quan said before that the Dragon Tomb buries the remains of True Dragons. According to common reasoning, the dragon souls guarding the Dragon Tomb should be the strongest. The closer you are to the Dragon Tomb, the stronger the dragon souls naturally are. The plain we were in before should be the outer perimeter of the Dragon Valley. Now that the dragon souls are getting stronger, it means we are getting closer and closer to the Dragon Tomb in the middle of the Dragon Valley."

"So weak?" The three women looked suspiciously at the Tyrannosaurus rex that had dissipated, not knowing if Shi Quan was too strong or if this dragon soul was too weak.

After walking out of the plain, they arrived in a dense forest.

Shi Quan nodded, "That's right, because the energy of the dragon clouds is purer. The power of these ordinary dragon souls is mixed with the power they had before they died, so it is not as pure. Your bodies have already been thoroughly baptized by the pure power of the dragon clouds. If you were to absorb the power of these dragon souls, the dross within would instead affect your bodies, which is why this feeling of rejection and discomfort occurs."

Shi Quan explained simply that the Spirit Bone Enhancer could convert energy into crystals for storage.

The strengthening effect of this energy crystal is definitely stronger than that of ordinary energy. Perhaps it could even give these ordinary soul bones a chance to transform into dragon bones possessing the Dragon Tribe Bloodline. Although it is far from a true True Dragon Soul Bone, the effect is definitely much stronger than most soul bones.

The Xuanyuan controlled by Shi Quan once again pierced through the energy core of an Ink-Armored Dragon.

111.253.237.132

Coupled with the fact that they all had some martial arts foundation, even without soul power, relying on their physical fitness, dealing with these dragon souls was not a problem.

After the three women frowned and looked at each other, Dugu Yan spoke first: "It doesn't feel very comfortable, just like eating something bad after eating something good, I'm not used to it."

"Xiao Quan, the strength of these dragon souls is getting stronger and stronger." Zhu Zhuqing's hand moved, and she directly crushed the core of one of the dragon souls.

Before the energy of these ordinary dragon souls could merge into Zhu Zhuqing's body, it was already devoured and absorbed by the power of the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears, and then merged into the Spirit Bone Enhancer.

The interlude ended, and the group continued to walk towards the depths of the plain. Along the way, the dragon clouds continued to pour into Shi Quan's body as usual. Everything remained the same; Shi Quan still divided the energy of these dragon clouds equally among the three women.

After Shouhe's reminder, the group had only walked for a short while when a "rustling" sound came from ahead.

It was the Spirit Bone Enhancer.

As he spoke, Shi Quan returned to the side of the three women and continued: "This is the power of ordinary dragon souls, feel it."

In terms of attack, the attack power of the Xuanyuan is even stronger than the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears, which is why it can so easily pierce through the energy cores of these dragon souls.

If the three women are protected too well, it will only make them develop inertia, gradually knowing only how to rely on him and losing their own ability to think.

The power of these conscious dragon souls is also a type of energy, which can also be used to make energy crystals for strengthening soul bones.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." One of Shi Quan's goals in coming to the Dragon Valley is the strongest True Dragon Soul Bone in the Dragon Tomb, the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone. Naturally, he is well prepared for this.

"Scatter!" Watching the phantom dragons rushing towards them, with a word, the Xuanyuan in his hand instantly scattered and turned into more than ten golden streams of light that flew out.

Immediately, Shi Quan injected the dragon soul power he had just absorbed into the bodies of the three women.

"Boss, there is quite a bit of movement on the ground." Shouhe, lying on Shi Quan's shoulder, suddenly raised his head and said.

"Because the area around the Dragon Tomb has the most of these conscious dragon souls. As long as we walk in the direction of the dragon souls, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"These dragon souls are not strong. Compared to their original bodies, they have at most one percent of their power, or even weaker. Your bodies have been transformed by the dragon soul power of the dragon clouds, so these ordinary dragon souls pose no threat to you."

Wherever the streams of light went, the phantom dragons directly exploded, turning into clusters of energy that flew towards Shi Quan.

The group continued forward.

With the help of the shared Spirit Sense, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing also saw this huge figure.

"A-Quan, there is a big guy in front." After walking for another day, Xiaomeng suddenly reminded him.

"It seems that these dragon clouds only exist on the plain." Zhu Zhuqing's slightly regretful voice came. Her eyesight was the strongest among the three women, and looking at the dragon clouds that had almost disappeared in the distance, she couldn't help but sigh.

"So strong," Ye Lingling could not help but exclaim.

No sooner had Shi Quan finished speaking than more than twenty dragon souls appeared within the field of vision of the four of them.

These dragon souls were only one meter tall, with relatively slender forelimbs and hind limbs that touched the ground; although thin and long, they possessed a great sense of power, and their heads were massive, their open mouths filled with small, blade-like teeth; they were a group of pack-hunting phantom dragons, whose individual strength was not even one-third that of the previous Tyrannosaurus Rex, but their strength lay in their speed and their large numbers.

"It is not soul power," Shi Quan shook his head lightly, "I am using Mental Power, combined with the Spirit God Art and Xiaomeng's ability to create a special method of control."

Shi Quan nodded, and as they moved forward, they encountered more and more dragon souls, so he began to let the three women take action and fight.

After the dragon clouds moistened their bodies, the three women could leap a full nine or ten meters high with a light jump, and this was even without the support of soul power.

A golden light flashed by, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex did not even let out a mournful cry before its energy-formed body turned into streams of light and shot out; the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears moved in unison, absorbing all the energy from the shattered Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Understood," Shi Quan nodded, and upon hearing this, the three women did not need Shi Quan to remind them, moving a little closer to him.

"What kind of dragon is this? It feels more than a grade stronger than the dragon souls we encountered before," Dugu Yan looked at the scene transmitted through her Spirit Sense, her heart tightening, for because her martial soul possessed the Dragon Tribe Bloodline, she was more sensitive to the strength of dragon souls.

"This dragon should be a Blazing Fire Dragon; unlike all the dragon souls we have encountered before, the Blazing Fire Dragon is a true dragon, not on the same level as the sub-dragons we encountered earlier, so the feeling is naturally different..."
