Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

The study fell silent once more.

The gentle smile on Yu Xiaogang's face vanished without a trace the moment the door closed.

He stood there, staring at the tightly closed wooden door, his eyes slowly narrowing.

Imitating Yu Xiaoheng?

maybe.

He turned around, walked to the window, and looked at the dark night outside.

Over the years, Yu Xiaogang has indeed lived in that person's shadow for the sake of his sect.

After all, only Yu Xiaoheng seems to still be around, and only Yu Xiaogang is showing some of Yu Xiaoheng's prowess. So, even if Yu Xiaogang tries his best, his cultivation speed is only equivalent to that of an ordinary soul master...

Only then will the sect have hope.

but……

Yu Xiaogang also did something that was out of character for Yu Xiaoheng's cold and ruthless style.

Or rather, it's very similar to what happened to Yu Xiaoheng.

He brought back a girl.

Just like when Yu Xiaoheng brought Rou'er back.

Yu Xiaogang knew that it was a scheme, and that Yu Xiaoheng was likely trying to deceive Rou'er into making her sacrifice herself, as the other party might be a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

And now.

Lin Wan'er.

An orphan girl who appeared in the wilderness possessed innate full soul power, yet she always managed to arouse a restlessness in his mutated, separated martial soul, "Luo Buhui".

An ordinary person?

There are no ordinary people in this world who are so beautiful.

Yu Xiaogang smiled.

I just don't know if I'm really as lucky as Yu Xiaoheng, or...

I was just overthinking it.

Chapter 360 A Letter from the Family

Martial Soul City, side hall of the Elders' Hall.

"The dwelling place of the divine messengers"

This place is extremely luxurious, with floor tiles forged from deep-sea silver and pillars carved with reliefs of six-winged angels.

Yu Xiaoheng sat cross-legged on a huge piece of warm jade, his eyes closed.

Deep within consciousness.

A golden ocean, permeated with the majestic aura of the Golden Holy Dragon.

"Ancestor, is the second level of the Golden Dragon Element Tempering Technique still about absorbing elements?"

Yu Xiaoheng asked a question in his mind.

According to his deduction, the first layer is tempering the body with thunder and fire, and the second layer should introduce wind, earth or water to construct the five elements cycle, which is endless.

In the void, the aged voice hesitated before ringing out:

"Adding elements? That shouldn't be right."

"If we keep adding elements, it will probably lean towards the power of the Silver Dragon King, which will prevent us from unifying the power of the Dragon God. What is the Golden Dragon lineage playing at?"

"It is force."

"It is the ultimate body, an invulnerable physique."

"The first layer uses light and darkness, based on your personal attributes, using two elements to counteract each other. In the second layer, if you try to harmonize the five elements, it will be too focused on controlling the power of the elements. The golden dragon's indestructible golden body relies on 'limits' and breaking through to establish itself."

"The limit?" Yu Xiaoheng asked rhetorically.

"Yes, fighting. Endless fighting."

The ancestor continued, "Whether you're being beaten or beating others, you must make every inch of your muscles and every bone groan under the extreme load, and then use high-level soul power to repair and reorganize them. Breaking the limits and reshaping your physical body, that is the Golden Dragon Tempering."

"However, this is just a concept. After all, I didn't have time to implement this body tempering plan back then. If you hadn't fought with the younger generation of Haotian Sect, the idea for this second level would probably have just been to simply temper your body."

Yu Xiaoheng remained silent for a moment.

The ancestors' words make sense. After all, their body-refining method was based on their wild ideas from back then and Yu Xiaoheng's real situation, and they kept innovating and improving it.

The change in cultivation methods is actually a good thing, as it means a higher potential.

As for the second tempering method that has now been developed.

This certainly fits the description of the Golden Dragon King as someone who could break through all laws with sheer force.

As long as my body is strong enough, no matter how many spells you use, I can shatter them with a single punch.

"I understand."

Yu Xiaoheng no longer hesitated and focused his mind on his body.

Since there's no need to find new catalysts, let's just use our existing resources to make a breakthrough.

He mobilized the thunderous power within his body, tempered by the thunderstone vein, as well as the terrifying blood energy inherent in the purple-gold holy dragon.

Leave no room.

boom!

In reality, Yu Xiaoheng's body trembled violently.

Countless tiny cracks instantly appeared on the skin's surface, and the golden-red blood that had just seeped out was evaporated into blood mist by the electric arcs moving across the skin.

pain.

This pain does not originate from pain receptors, but rather acts directly deep within the cells.

It's like being placed in a millstone and ground up little by little.

But he didn't even utter a sound.

This level of pain is nothing compared to everything I went through to become stronger back then.

Half an hour later.

The previously violent aura suddenly subsided.

Wuming opened his eyes, a pure golden light flashing in his pupils.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist.

The air was crushed in the palm of his hand, producing a muffled sound.

The feeling of being filled with power convinced him that he had entered the second level of the Golden Dragon Element Body Tempering Technique.

His physical strength surged once again.

If it was a humanoid soul beast before, now it is a young dragon wearing human skin.

"It's done."

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the ancestor's voice carried a hint of approval, but also a touch of mockery:

"Don't be too happy yet. The second level is easy to get started with, but difficult to master."

"To achieve perfection, you need a special cultivation environment."

Yu Xiaoheng frowned: "What kind of environment?"

"We can't let you actually get killed, but we have to keep you on the verge of life and death every second. We have to exhaust your last bit of soul power, but we also have to force you to use your physical body to withstand a barrage of attacks of the same level."

The ancestor sighed: "This kind of environment is hard to find. Unless you have masochistic tendencies and find a strong person to beat you up every day, and that person has to be the kind who can precisely control their strength and doesn't want to kill you."

"However, considering that the power of the Golden Dragon King not only includes physical strength, but also an indomitable will, it is probably difficult to achieve perfect results through mere training."

"To be honest, if you had been able to complete your seventh spirit ring, I would have allowed you to absorb that 100,000-year-old golden holy dragon spirit ring."

"You don't need to be in a big hurry. Even if you reach the second level of Body Refinement, your sixth soul ring can only increase the lifespan by a few years at most. You're still far from absorbing 10 years."

The ancestor's words carried a hint of "give up, child."

Yu Xiaoheng did not respond.

He stood up from the warm jade and stretched his neck.

Can't find this kind of environment?

Can't you find it?

With a flick of his wrist, a pure gold token radiating a sacred aura appeared in his hand.

That was the "Divine Messenger Order" bestowed by Qian Yuhan.

Looking at the token, Yu Xiaoheng's lips twitched.

"I am a messenger of the gods."

"In today's world, even the Spirit Hall, with its countless powerful figures, must now obey my command."

As long as he gives the order, the people of Qian Daoliu's lineage will definitely treat him like an ancestor.

Yu Xiaoheng was in a good mood.

As long as he can hold on in this position and utilize the resources and sparring partners of the Spirit Hall, he is confident that he can push his physical body to a terrifying level.

At that time, the sixth ring will be able to absorb the 100,000-year soul ring bestowed by the ancestors...

take off!

The plan is in place.

"Ta-da!"

A soft knock on the door.

"My lord, your 'specialty' has arrived." A maid's respectful voice came from outside the door.
