Chapter 325: The Joy of the Dragon Knight
Weizelan Tower, a hidden bedroom.
Lei En underwent a brand‑new experience unlike any before; the feeling was indescribable, far more thrilling and more wonderful than he had imagined.
The joy of the Dragon Knight intoxicated him, almost to the point of losing himself.
It must be said that a dragon's constitution is robust; Ao Xi Li Ya went from initially awkward to increasingly wild, leaving the room in total disarray as if two great beasts had fought. Fortunately this is inside Weizelan Tower, surrounded by magical wards, otherwise an ordinary house would have been destroyed long ago.
After the fun, Lei En leaned against the headboard, savoring the memory, while his hand continued to act mischievously.
He admired the beautiful scenery that rose and fell like mountain ranges, intending to utter a few gentle words of affection to soothe, but found Ao Xi Li Ya's reaction completely unlike that of a normal woman.
She did not display the post‑intimacy coyness; her gaze turned coldly clear, and her beautiful face bore a satisfied smile as she stared at him without blinking.
Lei En felt a shiver inside from her stare and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Looking at my man," Ao Xi Li Ya replied calmly. "I once wondered what my future spouse would be like, and now I finally know. Though you are much younger than me, in every respect I cannot find anyone better; I am very satisfied and happy."
Lei En's complexion froze; Ao Xi Li Ya had already entered her youthful stage, meaning she was over a hundred years old, more than five times his age, so the gap was indeed considerable.
In a past life, this would have been a world‑shaking May‑December romance.
Fortunately, she looked not old at all—her skin smooth and supple, her figure youthful and upright, her looks stunningly beautiful—so he cared not about the age difference.
Lei En grasped her hand, interlocking all ten fingers, and laughed, "You're an old dragon eating fresh grass…"
Ao Xi Li Ya was bewildered, not understanding.
She sat upright, lightly scratching her palm with her fingernail; a few drops of thick, mercury‑like blood flowed out, hovering in the air as she muttered a incantation to begin casting.
Lei En was startled and hurriedly stopped her, "Ao Xi Li Ya, what are you doing?"
"Signing a soul contract," Ao Xi Li Ya replied matter‑of‑factly. Seeing Lei En's expression shift with hesitation, she asked, "Don't you want to sign a contract with me and become a Dragon Knight?"
"Uh…" Lei En chuckled helplessly.
He had pursued Ao Xi Li Ya by every means to become a Dragon Knight, but not the extraordinary profession of Dragon Knight belonging to Ai Lun E Si; rather, another kind of Dragon Knight, a different concept altogether.
"I am already a Dragon Knight," he said with a playful smile.
Ao Xi Li Ya stared blankly for a few seconds before reacting; the faint blush that had faded returned to her cheeks, and she glared fiercely at Lei En. Instinctively she summoned dragon might, causing the room's air to thicken; an ordinary person would have collapsed, but it had no effect on Lei En, feeling only like a gentle breeze.
"Do you want to sign the contract?" the Rainbow Dragon asked again, seriously.
Lei En quickly nodded, "Of course, I couldn't ask for more!"
Inside, he felt a bit uneasy; signing a soul contract meant the parties would share portions of each other's Elements, binding them for life and death—if one died, the other would suffer a fatal soul injury. It was a covenant more sacred than marriage.
Lei En was deeply grateful for Ao Xi Li Ya's trust and affection.
However, he had a concern: during the contract, one inevitably sees the other's soul state. He already knew Ao Xi Li Ya's soul inside out, with no secrets, but his own soul held some unspeakable hidden aspects.
All other Elements were fine; it was just the MutatedPhone that could not be exposed.
This thing could not be explained in any way.
His mind raced as he watched Ao Xi Li Ya continue casting, her blood merging with magical energy, gradually forming a bizarre blood‑colored rune.
A soul contract itself is a spell; ordinary transcendents sign it via scrolls, but Ao Xi Li Ya, being a Wizard, could cast it herself, needing Lei En's cooperation. She gestured, and Lei En raised his hand, his fingertips automatically cracking to drip a few drops of fresh blood into the blood rune.
At the critical moment, while Lei En's heart raced with no excuse to delay, the phone interface in his vision displayed a power‑off option.
"So it can be turned off after all."
Lei En was overjoyed and immediately selected Confirm.
The phone screen faded to black and vanished within seconds. Instantly, Soul Eye, Voice of All Things, phone gyroscope, Camera and all other functions became unusable.
Lei En, accustomed to these abilities, felt a bit uneasy at their sudden loss.
Nevertheless he showed no panic; the MutatedPhone remained, hidden in an inconspicuous corner of his soul, reactivatable with a single thought.
At that moment, the blood rune emitted a spiritual light, establishing a wondrous link between the two.
Ao Xi Li Ya, solemn, clasped her hands and made a prayer gesture, speaking clearly in Dragon Tongue: "I, Ao Xi Li Ya * Yi Sesita Sa * Ke Luo Mi * Ai Pu Xi Long, under the joint witness of the Mother of Magic 'VijesCui' and the Dragon God 'Bahamut', bind a soul pact with Ryan Augustus, our destinies intertwined, irrevocable, effective immediately."
A soul contract requires only one party to initiate; the other's consent suffices, establishing an equal relationship with no hierarchy.
As Ao Xi Li Ya's oath concluded, Lei En immediately sensed their connection intensify.
A familiar yet foreign consciousness entered his mind through the blood rune, reaching his soul and issuing a request to seal the contract.
Ao Xi Li Ya stared into his eyes, her gaze extremely resolute.
Lei En did not hesitate at all and agreed instantly.
In an instant, the hovering blood rune burst into light, splitting in two, flying into each person's forehead, instantly forming a new Element in their souls—the embodiment of the soul contract, commonly called the Soul‑Pact Element.
Through it, the parties can hear each other's thoughts without speaking, with no distance limitation.
Lei En was already familiar with this mental communication, much like symbiosis with the original body.
He entered a meditative state and "saw" the World Tree within his soul, noticing a brand‑new branch sprouting at its tip, bearing a solitary leaf that resembled the Soul‑Pact rune.
A thought stirred, and his soul force activated the rune on the leaf.
In an instant, a brand‑new soul unfolded before him, its colors dazzling like a seven‑hued rainbow; deep within its core, a beautiful dragon's phantom was encircled by a rainbow, radiating layers of rainbow light, powerful and mysterious, with dozens of Elements constructing a complete soul space.
This was Ao Xi Li Ya's soul state.
Lei En had lost count of how many times he had seen it; he was very familiar.
Aside from the Holy Soul Wizards beyond the reach of Soul Eye, Ao Xi Li Ya was the transcendental being with the most Elements that Lei En had ever encountered.
Her profession is Wizard, not Witch.
Each spell is one she learned herself, then formed an Element in her soul—a spell template. This is a completely different casting system, so unlike Witches she is not limited by Law Seals; even as a twelfth‑level Wizard, her soul contains nearly fifty Arcane Elements!
Most of these spells are Arcane, so Ao Xi Li Ya can publicly claim to be an Arcaneist.
Beyond the Arcane Elements, the remaining Elements are the Rainbow Dragon's innate abilities.
Lei En instantly saw the most powerful Element among them—the Rainbow Light Principle!
This is a legendary Element; the Rainbow Dragon is a legendary breed precisely because it possesses the 'Rainbow Light Principle', an innate terrifying talent.
When Lei En first met Ao Xi Li Ya, he had already covertly examined the Rainbow Light Principle many times; thereafter they met daily, becoming familiar beyond familiarity.
This legendary Element lets the Rainbow Dragon master the mystery of colors; when casting, all Rainbow Light spells and any spell applied to 'light' have their potency tripled! Moreover, the dragon is immune to all damage and adverse effects from Rainbow Light spells, and immune to any blinding spells or effects.
Finally, the Rainbow Light Law can select seven spells, corresponding to the seven colors "red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet", doubling the spell's potency; it does not restrict to Rainbow Light spells, only the colors need to be correct.
Even though Lei En has long understood the Rainbow Light Law, when he saw it again he was still amazed.
Truly worthy of a legendary Element!
Its power is such that a caster's strength can surge severalfold, reaching a terrifying level.
Ao Xiliya has only this one legendary Element, but her five Supreme Elements are so numerous that even Lei En is shocked, being only one fewer than himself.
The most powerful of all is undoubtedly the "True Dragon Body", a Supreme Element innate to every True Dragon; it belongs to the physique category, like a conglomerate of multiple Elements, strengthening as the Great Dragon ages, and each level increase makes the dragon's body larger and stronger.
Ao Xiliya's True Dragon Body has reached level five.
Normally, an ordinary Great Dragon in its youth has a level‑three True Dragon Body; as a legendary dragon breed, Ao Xiliya is naturally two levels higher than ordinary dragons.
Lei En carefully sensed it; a level‑five True Dragon Body roughly equals level‑seven Strength, level‑eight Toughness, level‑five Agility, level‑four Self‑healing, level‑six Endurance, level‑four Rapid Recovery, level‑five Energy Resistance, and level‑five Dragon Deterrence.
One Element has the effect of eight Elements!
The reason Dragon Knights are so formidable is that after they sign a soul pact with a Great Dragon, they must choose the True Dragon Body as a shared Element, gaining the dragon's mighty physique.
Lei En did not make a choice immediately.
Behind the True Dragon Body are four more Supreme Elements: Void Resonance, Rainbow Light Cloak, Rainbow Light Dragon Breath, and Dragon Roar.
Void Resonance is an Arcane Element; it grants super Arcane affinity, doubling potency when casting Arcane. The Rainbow Light Cloak is a protective spell that can deflect physical and energy damage, and also manipulate light to bend and refract, achieving complete invisibility. Rainbow Light Dragon Breath is essentially the seven‑ring spell Rainbow Light Jet. Dragon Roar is an advanced element of the dragon's roar, releasing dragon might through sound to intimidate foes.
Lei En is a high‑rank transcendent; his Soul Transformation count determines that he can select only three Elements.
He was still deliberating when he heard Ao Xiliya let out a gasp, her eyes filled with disbelief.
