Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 382 The Silver Dragon King's Gift, Elemental Insights, and Silver Dragon Scales
The Silver Dragon King's gaze fell on Zhou Sichen, his eyes seemingly holding countless stars, yet also carrying the serenity of ten thousand years.

He has seen too many brilliant minds perish in the long river of time, and has witnessed countless ambitions ultimately vanish like bubbles.

Therefore, when faced with Zhou Sichen's eloquent speech, He always maintained a level of prudence befitting a top-tier being.

Zhou Sichen's talent is indeed dazzling. His mastery of dual extreme attributes is extremely rare in the ten-thousand-year history of Douluo Continent. However, there has always been an insurmountable gap between talent and achievement.

Without concrete actions to back it up, even the most eloquent words are nothing but a mirage, meaningless in the context of the mission He bears at this moment.

"Your ambition is considerable, and your talent certainly matches that ambition." The Silver Dragon King's voice was clear and cold, like jade striking against jade, each word carrying an undeniable majesty.

“But ambition and talent alone are not enough for me to stake the future of the entire soul beast race.”

"You say you want to make soul beasts into gods and reverse their fate of being hunted by soul masters. I've heard these words too many times, but what's the result? Soul beasts' habitats are getting smaller and smaller, and their populations are declining day by day."

"Di Tian has reached the end of a path, but he can only possess power comparable to a quasi-god. This insurmountable barrier is not something that can be crossed so easily."

He leaned slightly forward, his long, silvery-white hair cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall, the ends of which shimmered with a faint starlight.

"So, before you take any action that can convince me, such as healing my injuries or letting me see with my own eyes even the slightest sign of an ordinary soul beast ascending to godhood."

"Otherwise, there would be no need to say these words anymore. I have lived too long and am long past the age of getting excited by a few nice words."

Zhou Sichen sat there, his fingertips gently stroking the rim of the teacup. There was no anger on his face at being refuted; instead, he showed a knowing smile.

He knew that those who stood at the top of the Douluo Continent pyramid were not easily swayed by words.

Having experienced the horrors of the Dragon God War and endured tens of thousands of years of solitude, the Silver Dragon King's heart had long since hardened like ancient ice.

Only tangible benefits and hope can sway His resolve.

No matter how gifted Zhou Sichen is, without concrete actions and plans, everything is just empty talk.

Unless the Silver Dragon King directly transforms into the love-struck Gu Yuena, he might be able to be directly seduced into joining the group by Zhou Sichen.

Therefore, Zhou Sichen was not in a hurry, because all he had to do was make a plan.

Being too hasty now could backfire.

“What you say is absolutely right, senior.” Zhou Sichen nodded, his tone sincere: “Empty talk leads to failure, while hard work builds the nation.”

"I understand that any grand plan needs to be paved step by step with action."

“I fully understand your concerns, and that’s precisely why I’m so determined to prove to you that my plan is not just a pipe dream.”

Having said that, he picked up his teacup, the amber tea swirling gently within, reflecting the glint in his eyes:

"Then let this cup of tea be my proof that I will not let you down. When the plan begins to show results, I will drink a celebratory toast with you."

"May our future be bright and our dreams come true." Zhou Sichen drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

The tea had a slightly bitter taste as it went down their throat, but then a lingering sweetness followed, just like the path they were walking on, full of thorns, yet also hiding hope.

Looking at his composed demeanor, the Silver Dragon King's beautiful eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of approval.

This young man is not only exceptionally talented, but his temperament also far surpasses that of other Soul Masters of the same age.

They are ambitious yet patient, knowing when to be aggressive and when to lie low and wait.

He slowly raised his teacup and offered a toast to Zhou Sichen across the distance. The crisp sound of the cups clinking echoed in this space constructed of elements, carrying a silent agreement.

"May your future be bright and your dreams come true," He repeated, his voice finally gaining a touch of warmth.

The conversation ended, and the atmosphere between the two eased considerably.

Zhou Sichen then shifted the topic to the specific details of the implementation of the Soul Spirit System, which was one of the core purposes of his meeting with the Silver Dragon King.

The emergence of the Soul Spirit system is essentially to change the life-or-death antagonistic relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, allowing Soul Masters to grow together with Soul Spirits through contracts instead of hunting Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings.

This not only alleviates the survival pressure on the soul beast population, but also provides soul masters with a more stable and growth-oriented source of power, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Regarding the classification of soul spirits, I intend to refer to the ten-year, one-hundred-year, one-thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and one-hundred-thousand-year standards of soul rings and divide soul spirits into five levels as well."

"Each level of soul spirit corresponds to a specific soul ring age. When a soul master absorbs a soul spirit, they can not only obtain a soul power boost equivalent to the soul ring, but also establish a spiritual connection with the soul spirit to cultivate together."

"More importantly, the soul can continuously evolve by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"In theory, given enough time, even a ten-year-old soul spirit has the opportunity to grow into a being of 100,000 years or even higher."

The Silver Dragon King listened quietly, his fingertips unconsciously tracing patterns on the table, leaving behind subtle elemental fluctuations.

He already had some understanding of this system, and it was precisely because He saw the potential it contained that He was willing to let Di Tian fully cooperate with Zhou Sichen.

But He also knew that there would inevitably be many obstacles in the process of implementation.

“Very good.” The Silver Dragon King nodded. “It seems your plan is very comprehensive. Just tell me what you need me to do.”

"All the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest will obey your commands."

With the Silver Dragon King's promise and the support of the Star Dou Great Forest's top combat forces, he could proceed with his subsequent plans with greater peace of mind.

Just then, the Silver Dragon King suddenly raised his hand, his fingertips shimmering with seven-colored light.

The rays of light slowly converged in the air, forming a colorful sphere the size of a fist.

The surface of the sphere is adorned with seven colors: red, blue, yellow, green, white, black, and silver, representing the seven elements of fire, water, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space.

These seven elements constantly merge and collide within the sphere, yet they always maintain a perfect balance, without the slightest sign of conflict, as if they were born to coexist in such harmony.

"Di Tian says you have mastered the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire." The Silver Dragon King flicked his jade finger, and a colorful sphere floated in front of Zhou Sichen.

"While dual extreme attributes are certainly powerful, the true essence of power in this world lies in balance and integration."

"This elemental sphere contains my understanding and insights into the seven elements. Take it and study it carefully."

"If you can grasp the secrets of elemental fusion from this, it will greatly benefit your future growth."

Looking at the colorful sphere in front of him, Zhou Sichen felt a surge of powerful elemental energy rushing towards him, and the profound laws contained within it shook his mind.

He had mastered the power of extreme ice and extreme fire, and was well aware of the terror of elemental power.

As a demigod of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King wields the most primal elemental power in the universe. His insights are undoubtedly the most advanced secrets for cultivating elemental control. If one could comprehend even a tenth or a twentieth of them, one's strength would surely experience a qualitative leap.

"I am truly unworthy of such a generous gift from you, senior." Zhou Sichen took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of," the Silver Dragon King said calmly. "If the Soul Spirit System you proposed can truly succeed, it will be a life-saving grace for the Soul Beast race."

"What are my few insights? Whether you can comprehend them or not depends entirely on your destiny."

Zhou Sichen stopped refusing and carefully stretched out her hands, holding the colorful ball in her palms.

The sphere felt warm and smooth to the touch, pulsating gently as if it were alive. The power of the seven elements slowly seeped into his body, flowing through his meridians and bringing waves of comfortable, tingling sensations.

He could clearly sense the heat of the fire element, the gentleness of the water element, the weight of the earth element, the fluidity of the wind element, the sanctity of the light element, the profundity of the dark element, and the unpredictability of the spatial element.

These originally independent elements, in the Silver Dragon King's perception, are like close partners, cooperating with each other to build a complete world.

"Thank you, senior!" Zhou Sichen solemnly put the elemental ball into his soul tool, his eyes shining with determination: "This junior will definitely study it diligently and will never let down your painstaking efforts."

Seeing his excited expression, the Silver Dragon King smiled faintly.

Although this young man is ambitious, he also knows how to be grateful, so he can be considered a promising talent.

However, the surprises didn't end there.

Just when Zhou Sichen thought the Silver Dragon King's gift was over, the Silver Dragon King raised his hand again.

This time, three dazzling silver lights shot out and hovered in mid-air.

Those were three silver rhomboid scales, each three meters in diameter. Each one seemed to be forged from the purest moonlight, its surface smooth as a mirror, yet shimmering with a flowing luster.

The edges of the scales were surrounded by a faint iridescent light, as if a rainbow had been crushed and sprinkled on them.

With the slightest movement, countless stardust-like specks of light drifted down from the scales, tracing graceful arcs in the air.

Under the light of the surrounding elements, indigo and light purple patterns emerge from the silvery-white background of the scales.

These patterns flow slowly like living things, sometimes converging into galaxies, sometimes transforming into nebulae, condensing the magnificent scenery of the entire universe into these tiny scales.

What's most amazing is the liquid halo on the surface of the scales, as if a layer of melted moonlight is wrapped around them.

As the scales sway, the halo ripples with layers of silver waves, possessing both the sharp edge of metal and the gentle lingering of water, a perfect blend of strength and softness, breathtakingly beautiful.

Zhou Sichen stared blankly at the three scales, speechless for a moment.

He could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within the scales, a power originating from the most primal source of the dragon race, pure and domineering.

The mere wisp of aura he emitted caused his soul power to tremble involuntarily.

“This is…” Zhou Sichen swallowed, his voice trembling slightly.

"My three scales." The Silver Dragon King's tone remained calm, as if he were merely offering a trivial gift.

"In the eyes of you Soul Masters, this should be considered the top-tier material. Dragon scales are not only indestructible, but they can also withstand the most powerful elemental forces. They should be very useful for making Soul Tools."

A storm raged in Zhou Sichen's heart.

The Silver Dragon King's scales are definitely a divine-level treasure!

The dragon race has always been known for its powerful physical bodies. The reason why Di Tian was able to condense the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores and reach the level of a quasi-god was largely due to the powerful physical bodies of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon race.

As the half-body of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King's physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary dragons. Even though his authority lies in elemental control, the power of his dragon body has definitely reached the level of a first-level deity.

Using such scales to create soul tools, even with just a simple polishing, would probably result in an unparalleled defensive artifact.

If it is further enhanced by an exquisite soul-guiding array, its power is simply unimaginable.

The problem is, who can process such top-quality materials?
Even the most skilled level nine Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, despite their superb skills, would likely be powerless against god-level materials.

As if seeing through his thoughts, the Silver Dragon King chuckled: "Don't worry, I have already treated these three scales, removing the overly domineering dragon might. Your level nine soul masters should be able to control them."

"Whether it's for making defensive or offensive soul tools, it's definitely a top-tier choice."

Consider this a small token of my gratitude for your proposal of the Soul System.

Zhou Sichen no longer hesitated.

It would be truly foolish to refuse such a precious treasure.

He knew that the Silver Dragon King's gift was not only a token of gratitude, but also a demonstration of trust.

He was telling him through his scales that He was full of expectations for the future of the soul system.

Zhou Sichen stepped forward and carefully put the three scales into his storage soul tool.

It felt cool to the touch, yet carried a hint of warmth, as if it had established some subtle connection with his soul.

"Thank you for your generous gift, senior!" Zhou Sichen bowed deeply again, his tone extremely solemn.

"I assure you that I will make the most of these three scales and will never let them go to waste."

"I will use them to create the most powerful soul tools to safeguard the promotion of the soul spirit system and let them shine with the most brilliant light on the Douluo Continent!"

The Silver Dragon King looked at his determined eyes, nodded, and said nothing more.

Some things don't need to be said explicitly; both sides already understand each other's hearts.

Sunlight streamed through the space constructed by the elements, casting long shadows on the two people.

A faint aroma of tea and the scent of elements filled the air. In this tranquil atmosphere, an agreement that would determine the future of Douluo Continent was quietly reached.

Zhou Sichen knew that from the moment he received the elemental orb and the scales, he was now firmly bound together with the Silver Dragon King and the entire soul beast race.

The road ahead may be full of obstacles, but his belief is stronger than ever before.

With the Silver Dragon King, a super strong expert, protecting him, Zhou Sichen's confidence increased even more.

Moreover, with the Silver Dragon King's scales and the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in his possession, Zhou Sichen was confident he could create a perfect prototype of a battle armor!
Even the [Godslayer Armor] can be enhanced and upgraded by incorporating the Silver Dragon King Scale Armor.

With the Silver Dragon King's scale armor enhancement, perhaps the [Godslayer Armor], already a top-tier level nine soul tool, can be upgraded again? Perhaps even become a level ten soul tool?
