Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 72 Gu Yuena Wants to "Donate Blood"

After working on the battle armor for more than an hour in the underground research room, Huo Yuhao and the others planned to go back to their homes on the surface to rest for a while.

The virtuous Ye Guyi and Meng Hongchen went to the kitchen again, intending to make them a simple late-night snack to replenish their energy.

As for Xiao Hongchen, he had been forging for so long that he had completed most of the spirit alloy needed by the five people, so he went back to his room to rest.

It has to be said that, as an excellent blacksmith, Xiao Hongchen is still too frivolous.

"I really don't know how to thank you all."

In the spacious living room, only Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were sitting together on the sofa, resting and chatting.

Hearing Gu Yuena's sincere, slightly embarrassed, thanks, Huo Yuhao waved his hand and then laughed nonchalantly, "We've been friends for a long time, Miss Gu. This is nothing."

,"Um----"

Gu Yuena didn't say anything more. But Huo Yuhao could tell that she was still somewhat concerned about this matter.

After all, Xiao Hongchen provided the high-quality spirit alloy forging metal for her battle armor, Meng Hongchen helped with the design, and Huo Yuhao directly took over the production of the battle armor.

She always felt that she owed others something, but she didn't know what she could give back to Huo Yuhao and her friends.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao also fell silent, unsure of how to comfort Gu Yuena who felt so guilty.

Soon, just as Huo Yuhao was figuring out how to comfort her, Gu Yuena spoke first.

Her next telepathic message completely stunned Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, do you want my Silver Dragon King bloodline?"

What?

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.

Miss Silver Dragon, are you trying to donate blood to me?

But I'm not critically ill! And I'm human, how can I let a dragon give me a blood transfusion?

Of course, Huo Yuhao quickly realized that Gu Yuena was asking her if she wanted the power of her bloodline as the Silver Dragon King.

But then another question arises—why did she ask that question?

Was she testing him? Or—

For a moment, even someone as perceptive as Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine as he began to speculate.

Seeing Huo Yuhao frozen in shock, Gu Yuena smiled helplessly, then calmly added, "Do you know why I asked you that, Yuhao?"

"When I first saw you fight with Xiao Hongchen and the others, I noticed that at a certain moment when you used the power of extreme ice, there was a faint aura that felt very familiar to me."

"Later, as my relationship with you grew better and we spent more time together, I gradually figured out what that aura was."

"That must be the power of the Water Dragon King. I never expected that you, Yuhao, could find a way to utilize the bloodline power of our dragon race."

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's calm voice in his mind, Huo Yuhao immediately felt a little nervous.

Does she already know about this?

So, how should he respond?

Judging from Gu Yuena's current demeanor, she doesn't seem to feel angry or dissatisfied about it.

"Yes, that's right." After a brief moment of thought, Huo Yuhao decided to tell his Silver Dragon King friend the truth, "Do you know about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? It's a treasure trove in the Sunset Forest within the Heavenly Soul Empire, where top-grade immortal herbs grow."

"The extreme cold Yin Spring and the blazing Yang Spring that make up the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire were conceived from the corpses of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, two of the nine great dragon kings of your dragon race, after their fall."

"Ten thousand years ago, after I reached the limit of my cultivation, I took away the original dragon souls of the two great dragon kings; and now, ten thousand years later, I have established a dragon soul contract with them in order to utilize their power."

"Rest assured, I have not done anything to harm the dragon soul or tarnish the dignity of the dragon race, and their remains are still buried beneath the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."

The dragon souls of the two dragon kings were devoid of intelligence from the very beginning, and since the dragon soul contract is similar to the soul spirit contract, only their instinctive self-awareness remained.

"If you're unsure about their condition—I'll show you. After I signed the Dragon Soul Contract with the two Dragon Kings, I only absorbed a very small portion of their primordial power. If Miss Gu is not satisfied, I can discard all of this at any time."

Huo Yuhao spoke sincerely, and his gaze toward Gu Yuena was also very earnest.

After listening to his long-winded explanation, Gu Yuena was taken aback.

"this----"

After a brief moment of surprise, Gu Yuena couldn't help but smile and replied in a teasing tone, "Your reaction seems a bit over the top, Your Majesty Lingbing. Those who were originally dragon kings have long since perished, and our dragon race has always followed the natural law of the survival of the fittest."

As long as the dignity of the dragon race is not trampled upon, their remaining corpses and dragon souls can certainly be used by other living beings in the world—as long as they possess abilities as powerful as you, Yuhao, a reincarnated god.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately felt relieved, but at the same time, he awkwardly curled his lips and said, "So that's how Miss Gu sees it? I thought to myself, these are, after all, the same clan as you, and the nine Dragon Kings whose status is second only to you and the Golden Dragon King. So, it's not a good idea to use the power of their souls left behind after their deaths."

Gu Yuena shook her head, her gaze towards Huo Yuhao now filled with gratitude: "There's nothing wrong with it. I was born after the Dragon Clan's catastrophe in the God Realm. Apart from the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, ​​none of the other nine Dragon Kings have ever seen me."

"Furthermore, Yuhao, the fact that you think this way only means you've signed a contract with the dragon souls of those two dragon kings. That already shows great respect for our race—thank you."

Huo Yuhao fell silent. Gu Yuena was right, but something still felt off.

To sum it up in one sentence: I've already used all the power left behind by the Dragon King's corpse for my own purposes, so this Silver Dragon King should thank me!

In Gu Yuena's eyes now, is this "reincarnated god" to the point where doing such things is completely indifferent?

In any case, this is ultimately a good thing.

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao released his third soul ring, summoning the dragon souls of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King: "Miss Gu, let me show you, after all, they are two beings of the same race with whom you have a deep connection."

Immediately afterwards, the Little Water Dragon King and Little Fire Dragon King, who were Huo Yuhao's "Dragon Spirits," appeared before Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena sensed the aura of the two dragon souls, and then her eyes widened slightly.

She tentatively released a tiny bit of the Silver Dragon King's aura.

Soon, the two dragon souls, like children who have found their mother, affectionately floated to Gu Yuena's side.
