Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 331 Promotion to Dragon Knight

Ye Liangchen's persuasive words successfully convinced many of the remnant souls of the Dragon Kings to let go of their obsessions.

"Heh...! You're quite the talker."

At the same time, the divine sense left by the Goddess of Life in Ye Liangchen's soul sea also awakened. Seeing that the little guy had persuaded the remnant souls of several dragon kings, she felt very gratified and was too lazy to come out and deal with these dragon souls.

"Goddess, you're awake."

Ye Liangchen heard the voice of the Goddess of Life ring in his mind, and he knew that the woman's divine consciousness had been awakened when he entered Dragon Valley.

"I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle these remnants of the Dragon King's soul, so I came out to take a look. It's obvious I was overthinking it."

The Goddess of Life smiled. With these Dragon Kings helping the little guy, she could consume less divine power when awarding him prizes, which was a good thing.

"hold head high…"

"Swish..."

Just then, the dragon's roar sounded again, and then the dragon-shaped clouds in the sky landed on several huge dragon bones, which then condensed into seven balls of light and slowly floated in front of Ye Liangchen.

These seven orbs of light are all million-year-old soul bones, with dragon souls attached to them, radiating powerful divine energy and shimmering with seven-colored light, making them incredibly dazzling.

"Young man, since life and destruction have chosen you, you must have something special about you. Let's take a gamble."

"This is our dragon soul and soul bone. We're giving it to you, and we hope you'll keep your promise."

Through Gu Yuena's description, the remnant souls of the Dragon Kings learned that life and destruction had led this human boy to change the fate of the soul beasts, so they decided to take a gamble and help this human boy.

"Everyone, we can stay in his soul ring space and rely on his divine power to nourish our dragon souls. Perhaps in a few years, our dragon souls will become even stronger. After he becomes a god, we might even be resurrected, which would be a great thing for us."

The Fire Dragon King gave the remnant souls of the major dragon kings a pep talk, trying to spur them on and get them to work quickly.

"Is this really true?" The Dragon Kings' eyes lit up when they heard the Fire Dragon King say this.

"We have no reason to lie. You'll understand once you experience it for yourself."

"hold head high…"

With a roar, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings transformed into two enormous dragon shadows, one blue and one red, which danced in the air, allowing the remnant souls of the major dragon kings to experience their power.

"Now you believe me, right?"

Gu Yuena looked at the remnant souls of the Dragon Kings and thought: Making you into the little guy's soul rings is also a way of saving you.

"I believe it! I believe it!"

The dragon kings felt their minds were a bit slow. The water dragon king, the fire dragon king, and the silver dragon king had already chosen to believe in the boy, so there was no need for them to test him any further.

"In that case, let's fuse with the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone first!"

"Xiao Chen, fusing with the Mountain Dragon King's torso will be a little painful, so be prepared."

Gu Yuena decided to let Ye Liangchen first fuse with the most powerful torso soul bone in the world, in order to help the little guy build an extremely strong body so that he could become her dragon knight.

"Sister Na, I'm ready." Ye Liangchen withdrew his martial soul, sat down cross-legged, adjusted his state, and thought: Isn't it just similar to fusing with the Water and Fire Dragon King's soul bone? What pain could there be?

"hold head high…"

The dragon soul of the Mountain Dragon King let out a long roar, and then the orange-gold torso bone floated to Ye Liangchen's back and began to merge.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

The instant the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone merged with Ye Liangchen, he felt as if someone was hitting his spine with a hammer. It hurt so much! Gu Yuena's "a little pain" must have been a ton of pain!

"Hang in there! The Mountain Dragon King's torso soul bone is the most powerful soul bone. After you fuse with it, it will bring you endless benefits."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen was drenched in sweat and in great pain, Gu Yuena reminded him to hold on.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen quickly activated the Hunyuan Technique, and the Taiji Yin-Yang Fish Soul Core within his body began to rotate, absorbing the powerful energy impact from the Mountain Dragon King's Soul Bone, and going all out to fuse with the torso Soul Bone.

A million-year-old soul bone is truly something else. If your strength isn't sufficient, you can't withstand the energy impact. If it weren't for your special abilities, you might have been blown apart by this energy.

"Sizzle..."

"Click-clack..."

Under the powerful energy impact of the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone, Ye Liangchen's clothes were shattered into pieces, his back became a bloody mess, his skin was curled up, blood gushed down, and crackling sounds came from his spine, as if someone was hitting him with a hammer.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen used his divine sense to examine the condition inside his body and found that his spine was constantly changing. It felt like he was undergoing a major surgery, and it was extremely painful. It was completely different from the arm soul bone he had fused with the Water and Fire Dragon Kings before. This Mountain Dragon King soul bone was completely reshaping his torso, which was outrageous.

However, there is no way out now; we can only grit our teeth and persevere with all our might.

"Can you really bear to let him suffer like this forever?"

"He went through so much trouble to treat your injuries and relieve your pain. Now that he needs your help, you're just watching the show."

At this moment, the Goddess of Life used her soul to transmit a message to the Silver Dragon King, deliberately provoking him.

"Oh well, I'll have to use it sooner or later anyway."

Gu Yuena originally planned to use the Dragon Clan's secret technique to cultivate with the little guy after Ye Liangchen became a god, but seeing how much pain he was in now, she decided not to wait any longer.

"Whoosh..."

Gu Yuena used her spatial divine power to separate the other dragon souls, even the remnant soul of the Mountain Dragon King. She then used her divine power to envelop herself and Ye Liangchen, creating a huge space. Afterward, she removed her equipment, embraced the little guy, and began to cultivate with him using the dragon clan's secret techniques.

Gu Yuena first absorbed the powerful energy of the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone into her own body, and then slowly transferred it to the little guy through her own body, which could alleviate his pain to the greatest extent.

"What is the Silver Dragon King doing? We originally wanted to see how this human boy could withstand the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone."

"It seems she cares more about that human boy than about us."

After Gu Yuena separated the remnant souls of the Dragon Kings, they all showed incredulous expressions. However, none of them knew what Gu Yuena was doing. Since they were just remnant souls, they had no way of seeing what was happening inside through the spatial divine power barrier set up by Gu Yuena.

"I only wanted you to use your divine power to help him, but I didn't expect you to use this method. It's quite a surprise!"

Using Ye Liangchen's vision, the Goddess of Life watched Gu Yuena's actions with great interest, a maternal smile on her face, finding it particularly amusing.

"I'm willing, it's none of your business!"

Gu Yuena replied to the Goddess of Life with a haughty air, thinking to herself: This little guy is my dragon knight, of course I have to help him.

"I know you've had your eye on him from the very beginning. I must say, you have excellent taste."

The Goddess of Life chuckled. The Silver Dragon King had chosen the little one. Even if she became the Dragon God in the future, someone would be able to keep her in check, which was a good thing.

"He is the future supreme god, and may even become the creator god. Of course I have to seize the opportunity. Your envy is useless."

"Also, stop looking, or I'll kidnap you and make you my best friend."

Gu Yuena knew that the Goddess of Life was watching her, but it didn't matter. There was nothing to hide anyway, and she even had a thought of betraying and destroying her.

"Heh...! Do I need to be envious? He's my successor to the divine throne. I'm overjoyed that you chose him!"

"You can continue, I won't watch anymore. Modifying the Mountain Dragon King's torso and soul bones is a very painful process for the little guy, so let him suffer less!"

The Goddess of Life smiled sweetly, growing increasingly fond of this arrogant Silver Dragon King.

"You don't need to tell me, I know what to do."

While using her divine power to heal Ye Liangchen's back injuries, Gu Yuena also diligently cultivated with the little guy, keeping herself very busy.

"Hmm! What's going on?"

Just as Ye Liangchen was struggling to resist the pain, he suddenly felt a warm, gentle sensation enveloping him. Then, a cool sensation came from his back, and his torn flesh began to heal. It was incredibly comfortable. The pain from merging with the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone was reduced by about half under the impact of these waves of comfort.

"Sister Na, what are you doing?"

Ye Liangchen opened his eyes and was stunned to find Gu Yuena diligently cultivating with him.

What is this woman up to? She actually made me a dragon knight ahead of schedule! Wasn't she supposed to wait until I became a god? How did she do it so early?

"I'll help you fuse with the Mountain Dragon King's torso and soul bones. Quickly calm your mind and focus, don't get distracted, and absorb the energy I'm transferring to you."

Gu Yuena smiled gently, kissed the little guy, and continued to use her divine power to help heal the wound on his back.

However, because the energy in the mountain dragon king's torso was too powerful, after his injuries healed, his skin began to break again, and blood gushed out. This cycle repeated itself, causing him great suffering.

As she used her divine power to help the little one alleviate his pain, Gu Yuena also felt refreshed and invigorated. Her soul seemed to fly away, and she almost couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan. However, she forced herself to hold it in so as not to be laughed at by the Goddess of Life.

"Sister Na, how can I calm my mind and find peace?"

Ye Liangchen rolled his eyes at Gu Yuena. He had never seen anyone like this before. Taking advantage of his injury, she actually used this method to help him transfer the pain caused by the energy impact. It was outrageous!

I don't know if everyone else can handle it? I certainly can't.

"Listen to me, hurry up and fuse with the soul bone, otherwise the injuries on your back will be difficult to heal."

Gu Yuena smiled charmingly, thinking to herself: To help you transfer the energy impact from the Mountain Dragon King's torso, I even used a secret technique of the Dragon Clan. Do you think it was easy for me?

"A pure heart remains unperturbed even when the sky falls..."

Ye Liangchen silently recited the Ice Heart Mantra in his mind, and then began to calmly circulate the Primordial Chaos Mantra, focusing all his efforts on fusing with the soul bone.

"Buzzing..."

Seeing Ye Liangchen giving it his all, Gu Yuena smiled and began to slowly channel the powerful energy she had absorbed into the little guy's body through a special method, transforming it into his soul power.

In fact, Gu Yuena felt that the little guy could withstand it with his current strength, it was just that the process would be a little slower and take a little longer. But Gu Yuena couldn't stand the stimulation from the Goddess of Life, so she simply went all out to avoid the woman saying that she was ungrateful. However, the experience was very comfortable, so she gradually immersed herself in the pleasure brought by cultivation.

"Whoosh..."

Three days later, Ye Liangchen perfectly fused with the Mountain Dragon King's torso and soul bone, and his soul power also increased by about two levels. With the blessing of the Mountain Dragon King's torso and soul bone, his whole body was filled with powerful strength.

"Thank you, Sister Na."

Ye Liangchen thanked Gu Yuena. In the past three days, this woman had been helping him fuse his soul bone in a special way. She was really working hard!

"Why are you being so polite with me? You need to become stronger to help me."

Gu Yuena smiled charmingly. In these three days, she had felt the power brought by the little guy's fusion with the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone. She almost couldn't withstand it. It seemed that the power brought by the Mountain Dragon King's torso bone had met her expectations. Only in this way could he become her dragon knight. That's really good.

"Let's go outside first!"

Gu Yuena put on the equipment, then took out clothes from Ye Liangchen's soul tool and put them on the little guy, before removing the divine power shield.

"Not bad, kid."

The remnant soul of the Mountain Dragon King couldn't help but give Ye Liangchen a thumbs up as he watched Ye Liangchen perfectly fuse with his torso and soul bones.

"Senior, you flatter me." Ye Liangchen smiled modestly, thinking to himself: I did succeed, but I've ruined the dragon a bit.

"Let the soul bones of the Time and Space Dragon King merge into one, becoming his head soul bone!"

"The soul bones of the Wind Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King merged into one, light and darkness merged into one, and transformed into his two leg soul bones."

"The dragon soul of the Light Dragon King transformed into the ninth soul ring of Xiao Chen's Life Goddess Martial Soul, and the rest transformed into the soul rings of his sword Martial Soul."

Gu Yuena looked at the location of the soul bones on Ye Liangchen's body and found that there were only three left. So she used her divine power to fuse the soul bones of the six dragon kings back into three soul bones.

"No problem, you can arrange it!"

The remnant souls of the seven Dragon Kings directly allowed Gu Yuena to arrange everything, since she was also the other half of the Dragon God and could be considered a representative of the Dragon God.

"Sister Na, these two different soul bones can be fused together?" Ye Liangchen was quite surprised to see Gu Yuena using her divine power to fuse the two soul bones.

"Of course you can. To put it simply, soul bones and soul rings are just energies generated under the rules of the divine realm. Now I'm using divine power to fuse two soul bones together, which is essentially the same as reforging them."

Gu Yuena explained that fusing two divine-level soul bones is almost like forging a divine artifact.

"Won't this head spirit bone modify my skull like the torso spirit bone did?"

Ye Liangchen looked at the head soul bone that was shimmering with two kinds of light. If it was as painful as fusing with the torso soul bone, then it would be unbearable.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Of the six soul bones, only the torso soul bone will be modified. The reason you are in so much pain is that these soul bones are all at the God-King level, and you haven't become a god yet, which is why you feel so much pain. If it were just a 100,000-year or 10,000-year soul bone, you wouldn't experience any pain."

Gu Yuena explained to Ye Liangchen that the Mountain Dragon King was the head of the nine dragon kings, and his power was second only to the Dragon God. The energy contained in his soul bone was naturally terrifying.

"That's good." After hearing Gu Yuena's explanation, Ye Liangchen finally felt relieved.
