Chapter 125 - Chapter 126: Evolution, Dragon Scale Armor

Unlike the previous times when he absorbed immortal herbs and elixirs, which were violent and uncontrollable…

This time, Yan seemed to share a subtle connection with the dragon bone, making the entire process exceptionally smooth and harmonious.

He carefully guided the power, not letting it violently impact his body, but allowing it to slowly seep into every part of him like a gentle stream.

As time passed, Yan's body began to undergo subtle changes.

A faint fiery red glow emerged beneath his skin, and his muscle lines became more defined and filled with a sense of strength.

More importantly, he could feel both the quality and quantity of the soul power within him rising at an astonishing rate.

Yan didn't dare relax in the slightest and continued to immerse himself in that mysterious state, making his connection with the dragon bone even stronger, until he had completely turned its power into his own.

It took an entire night for Yan to fully absorb the dragon bone.

It didn't remain in any specific part of his body but instead dissolved completely into his bones and blood.

After absorbing the last trace of power from the dragon bone, Yan slowly opened his eyes.

He could clearly feel that he had evolved again, and his soul power was even more abundant.

Yesterday, after absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, he had broken through to Level seventy-six.

But at this moment, he had directly crossed the threshold of Level eighty.

Walking out of the dim secret chamber and stepping into the morning courtyard, Yan took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air and the cool morning breeze.

He gently raised his hand and released the power of the Fire Dragon within his body.

A strange scene unfolded.

Although his muscles didn't swell, they became more compact, and a layer of crimson-gold dragon scale armor covered the surface of his body.

That armor shone brilliantly in the morning light hard and magnificent.

Immediately after, Yan released his Flame Lord martial soul.

Once possessed by the Flame Lord martial soul, the massive body was also covered with a layer of crimson-gold dragon scale armor, making his already solid body even more indestructible.

At the same time, the flames released from the Flame Lord became denser and hotter, exuding an intimidating heat and pressure.

Feeling the changes in himself, Yan was somewhat excited.

The dragon soul of the Fire Dragon King not only enhanced his fire attributes but also granted him a deeper level of control over flames, causing a qualitative leap in both the form and power of his Flame Lord martial soul. His soul power had even directly broken through rank eighty.

It hadn't even been a month since he obtained his seventh soul ring, and now he had the chance to hunt soul beasts and acquire his eighth soul ring.

However, Yan wasn't in a hurry.

His seventh soul ring was already at the hundred-thousand-year level, so his eighth soul ring would have to be at least a hundred-thousand-year one as well.

The Titan Giant Ape, a hundred-thousand-year earth-attribute soul beast living in the core region of the Star Dou Forest, was a very suitable candidate.

But hunting it would not be an easy task.

The Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Blue Bull Python, and Xiao Wu were all targets that Bibi Dong planned to hunt.

Their tracks had already been discovered, and it was likely that Bibi Dong would soon initiate a hunting operation.

For Yan, this was also a rare opportunity he might be able to reap the benefits as a bystander.

Yan planned to keep his breakthrough to rank eighty a secret for now, as it was too sudden.

No one knew about him absorbing the dragon bone.

And he didn't want anyone to know, unless they were someone he trusted completely.

That day, Yan didn't go anywhere and rested at home for the entire day.

The next morning, a guard came with a message: the Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong had summoned him.

When Yan arrived at the Supreme Pontiff Hall, he found that Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena were already there.

Bibi Dong looked at the five people in the hall and said with a smile:

"The few immortal herbs Elder Chrysanthemum brought back were indeed excellent. After absorbing the herb, Nana's soul power has directly broken through to Level sixty. She can go hunt a soul beast to obtain her sixth soul ring."

The few of them exchanged smiles, roughly understanding Bibi Dong's intentions.

Bibi Dong continued speaking:

"Then I'll trouble the two Elders to accompany Nana on a trip to the Star Dou Forest to help her find and hunt a suitable soul beast."

"Yes, Your Holiness. You flatter us—this is our honor," Yue Guan and Gui Mei said in unison.

Bibi Dong gave a slight smile and reminded them:

"The two Elders must remember, this operation must be conducted with caution. Do not enter the center of the forest, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Yes! We understand!"

Bibi Dong's gaze swept over Xie Yue, then she said:

"Xie Yue, you will go to the Star Dou Forest with the two Elders. When you find a suitable soul beast, it would be best if you and Nana hunt it together. This will be a valuable experience for you siblings."

"Yes! I understand."

Bibi Dong nodded and finally fixed her gaze on Yan.

"Yan, you won't be going with them. I have a more important task for you."

"Yes, Your Holiness. Please give your command."

The others were surprised and turned their heads toward Yan, wondering what special mission Bibi Dong would assign to him.

Bibi Dong smiled and said:

"The four of you may leave now. Set out as soon as you're ready and return quickly. Once you're back, I have even more important tasks for you."

"Yes."

Then, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the two Elders Chrysanthemum and Ghost exited the Pope's Hall together.

Bibi Dong looked at Yan, and her gaze suddenly turned a bit cold.

Yan felt somewhat uneasy.

Two days ago, when he saw Bibi Dong in this hall, his soul power was still at level seventy-five.

In just two short days, he had risen five levels, breaking through the eightieth level.

After entering the hall, worried that Bibi Dong would notice, he had deliberately suppressed the powerful aura within him.

"Yan, it seems you've grown stronger again in these two days."

"Your Holiness, the day before yesterday I also absorbed an immortal herb, and my soul power increased by another level."

"No wonder. You all are quite fortunate, gaining the assistance of immortal-grade herbs at such a young age."

Yan didn't know how to respond and simply nodded slightly.

Bibi Dong continued:

"Do you still have contact with the people from the three elemental academies: Divine Wind, Sky Water, and Blazing Fire?"

"Yes, I do. Does Your Holiness need me to do something?"

"That's right. I'm about to implement a secret plan and don't want those three elemental academies to become obstacles. Those who follow me will prosper; those who resist will perish. They are the future of their respective academies. If those young ones are willing to join the Spirit Hall, that would be ideal."

"Your Holiness, I understand. I will set out as soon as possible for the three elemental academies."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. As for how many people you'll need, you can arrange that yourself."

"To avoid drawing attention, I'll go alone."

Bibi Dong gave a sinister smile.

"Yan, you're becoming smarter and smarter. Then handle this matter quickly. Once you return, you'll execute the new mission along with the two Elders."

"Yes."

After that, Yan also exited the Pope's Hall.

Watching Yan's gradually fading figure, a strange smile surfaced on Bibi Dong's face.
