Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 31 Birthday
The next day, Qiangu Qitian came to the training room at the Spirit Transmission Tower headquarters as usual. His teacher Leng Yaoju was already waiting for him there.

The training room at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters was designed to be large, with only a few objects placed in the spacious and independent space.

Don’t be fooled by its simple appearance, it actually holds a mystery.

Inside the walls of the training room, there are not only soul guides that gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also simulated training environments similar to spirit-raising platforms, which are no worse than the natural environment.

For some reason, Leng Yaozhu was wearing a black long skirt today that she had never worn before. Under the skirt were her round calves wrapped in black stockings.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and showed a gentle smile on her face: "Xiaotian, you are here."

"teacher."

As usual, Qiangu Qitian first paid his respects to Leng Yaoju as a disciple.

"Okay, sit down."

Leng Yaozhu, who was sitting on a chair, crossed her legs, raised her toes, and pointed at the small chair opposite her.

Qiangu Qitian sat upright and started today's class.

In the past year, Qiangu Qitian's soul power has reached level 17. In another three months, he will be able to reach level 20.

Based on the principle of the Five Elements, Qiangu Qitian guessed that his second awakened dragon soul would most likely be a water-attributed dragon soul.

This made him think of the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Remnant souls... should also be able to create souls.

Qiangu Qitian also has a general understanding of the steps of making souls.

The soul of a soul beast is the most core part of making a soul spirit, and theoretically, the Ice and Fire Dragon King can also be made into a soul spirit.

However, there was a very realistic problem facing him.

Today, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire is a secret realm belonging to the Tang Sect.

Moreover, around the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, there exists both the poison array left by Tang San 20,000 years ago and the spiritual illusion set up by Huo Yuhao 10,000 years ago. The two have merged with each other over the past 10,000 years and have become a very terrifying phantom poison barrier.

With Qiangu Qitian's current weak arms and legs, let alone being poisoned to death, there is a high probability that he is not even qualified to be poisoned to death - because he cannot find the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Now, Qiangu Qitian can only rely on Qiangu Dieting.

But, would he risk breaking off relations with the Tang Sect for the sake of his own soul?
"Today, I will formally teach you how to precisely control the elements."

Leng Yaozhu went straight to the point and started today's class.

Before this, Leng Yaozhu had only taught Qiangu Qitian the most basic usage and control of elements besides daily practice.

At Qiangu Qitian's age, improving soul power is the most important thing.

As for why he had to learn forging, it was because forging could improve his spiritual power, which was the most difficult to cultivate.

"Xiaotian, what are the characteristics of your first element?"

Qiangu Qitian thought without hesitation: "Gold represents gathering, symbolizing solidity and solidification."

Leng Yaozhu nodded and continued, "Elements are like a 'hand' extending from the body for soul masters like us. Previously, I taught you how to create this 'hand', and today, I will teach you how to control this 'hand'."

A ray of bright yellow flame burned at Leng Yaozhu's fingertips, and Qiangu Qitian could clearly feel the heat.

Suddenly, the flame in Leng Yaozhu's hand jumped.

The shape of the flame gradually changed into a little man.

The little fire man's head looked left and right, and then danced nimbly on Leng Yaoju's fingertips.

"This is a kind of delicate manipulation of elements. As the master of elements, you can express the elements in any form you can imagine."

As she spoke, the dancing flame figurine in Leng Yaozhu's hand transformed into a nimble fire sparrow under the gaze of Qiangu Qitian, and then turned into a rope made of flames.

After the display, Leng Yaozhu waved her hand, and the small flame dissipated directly into the air.

"To master the precise control of elements to the entry level, in addition to diligent practice, your mental strength must also reach 400 points, which is the level of the late stage of the spiritual connection realm."

Qiangu Qitian had 211 points of mental strength when he awakened. After a year of growth, it has reached 440 points, which is an inhuman growth rate.

"Come on, Xiaotian, try to condense a ball of gold element." Simply condensing a ball of element is nothing to Qiangu Qitian.

Soon, a golden ball of light appeared in Qiangu Qitian's palm.

Compared with the fire element, Qiangu Qitian's metal energy ball is more solid, less agile and more heavy.

Half an hour later, Qiangu Qitian was sweating profusely as he looked at a small golden dragon he had made with gold elements, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He created this golden dragon based on the current appearance of his first soul, the golden dragon.

As for the finished product...

The graffiti of a three-year-old child may be more realistic than the golden dragon that Qiangu Qitian created using his mental control.

"Hey, teacher..."

Qiangu Qitian smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

“It’s the first time, and it’s already amazing.”

Leng Yaozhu took out a silk scarf and wiped the sweat from Qiangu Qitian's forehead.

"The first time I practiced this way, I didn't perform as well as you."

Well, this should be considered a white lie.

However, Leng Yaoju first practiced precise control of elements when she was ten years old.

"Okay, let's meditate after resting for a while."

Half an hour later, Qiangu Qitian sat cross-legged on the ground and began today's meditation.

Qiangu Qitian stayed in the training room the whole day.

For some reason, Leng Yaoju, who would leave when Qiangu Qitian was meditating in the past, stayed in the practice room today.

When Qiangu Qitian woke up from his trance, the first thing he saw was Leng Yaoju's pretty face.

"teacher."

Qiangu Qitian stood up and called out softly, Leng Yaozhu.

Leng Yaozhu's somewhat dilated pupils focused again.

She seemed to be worried about something.

"Are you done meditating?"

Qiangu Qitian nodded and pointed to his watch: "Teacher, it's already five o'clock in the afternoon. I should go back to eat."

"Well, then you go quickly."

Qiangu Qitian did not leave, but took out an exquisitely packaged gift box from Wushuang.

"Happy birthday, teacher."

Qiangu Qitian held the gift box and congratulated Leng Yaozhu with a smile.

"what?!"

Leng Yaozhu was a little surprised. She didn't expect Qiangu Qitian to know that today was her birthday and even prepared a gift for her.

Her expression softened, and the little Qiangu Qitian in her eyes began to merge with the little figure in her memory.

The sudden touch on her face brought Leng Yaoju back to her senses.

What she saw was the face of Qiangu Qitian.

"Teacher, you are crying."

Qiangu Qitian put away the tear-stained handkerchief and stated the facts.

Leng Yaozhu saw Qiangu Qitian's serious look as a little adult, and couldn't help but pinch Qiangu Qitian's little face:
"Thank you, Xiaotian."
