Chapter 188: The Fourth Test of the Elemental God, the Incomplete Dragon Transformation Secret Method
They arrived at a town and prepared to rest there.
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Bai, her eyes filled with inquiry: "Xiao Bai, your third examination is complete, so what is the fourth examination?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Bai immediately mobilized his mental power to check the God examination information.
A moment later, he raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of surprise: "The content of the fourth examination is a bit special. It requires Big Brother, Na Na, and me to enter Slaughter City together, pass through Hell Road hand in hand, and obtain the title of Death God and the Death God Domain."
"Slaughter City?"
Yue Guan exclaimed, "That place is extremely dangerous. Every battle in the slaughterhouses is a fight to the death, and there are many restrictions."
Hu Bai added, "The God examination also has an additional condition: during our time there, we are forbidden from using soul rings, Soul Bones, and Divine Artifacts. I can only rely on my understanding of the elements to fight. However, Martial Soul Fusion techniques are not within the prohibited range."
Hu Bai thought for a moment; perhaps this was meant to use the experience in Slaughter City to strengthen his close-combat abilities.
Most of his elemental attacks were long-range. Although he could also use long-range attacks during battles, when his strength was restricted and he was surrounded by many fallen Soul Masters, he would inevitably be forced into close quarters.
Bibi Dong's expression darkened, and her fingertips unconsciously tapped her scepter: "I originally didn't intend for you to come into contact with Slaughter City; the environment there makes it too easy to affect one's mind. But since the God examination has this requirement, there must be a reason for it."
She looked at Xie Yue and Hu Liena: "It's just, why do Xie Yue and Na Na need to go too? Could this also be a test for the two of them?"
Xie Yue stepped forward: "Since the God examination requires it, I have no objections. Although Slaughter City is dangerous, it can hone practical combat abilities. However, I hope we can go after I have absorbed the evil god orb. That way, I can also test the abilities the evil god orb grants me."
Hu Liena nodded in agreement: "I'll go with my brother. I believe I can handle it!"
Snow Empress's voice resounded in Hu Bai's Spiritual Sea: "Having Xie Yue and Hu Liena accompany you is likely part of the God examination. To obtain a God Legacy, talent alone is not enough; one must also undergo life-and-death trials."
Tianmeng Iceworm said, thankfully, "It's a good thing it only restricts Xiao Bai from using soul rings, Soul Bones, and Divine Artifacts. Xie Yue and Hu Liena are not restricted; their Soul Bones can still be used."
Bibi Dong sighed softly: "It seems that God Legacy is not so easy to obtain. This experience in Slaughter City is a test for the three of you. Remember, always stay clear-headed, as the Killing Intent in Slaughter City is most likely to erode one's mind."
Bibi Dong thought to herself that she would watch from outside Slaughter City. If the three of them encountered any misfortune, she, as a Death God, could directly break in and take them away!
"Don't worry, we'll be careful, Teacher," the three replied.
The group set off again; the journey was silent.
Meanwhile, in Spirit City, in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Qian Daoliu was seated on the Supreme Pontiff's chair, listening to his subordinate's report.
The palace door was pushed open, and Yu Xiaogang's figure appeared at the entrance, tightly clutching a scroll in his hand.
"Yu Xiaogang?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes: "How dare you come to Spirit City?"
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward, holding the scroll in front of him: "I've come to make a trade. This is a fragmented Dragon Transformation Secret Method, a secret technique of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I want to exchange it for Foundation Establishment Pills."
Qian Daoliu waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to withdraw, and looked at Yu Xiaogang with interest: "Oh? Is your visit this time your own intention, or Yu Yuanzhen's?"
"That's not important."
Yu Xiaogang's tone was calm: "I only ask you, will you exchange it or not?"
Qian Daoliu put down the scroll, his fingertips tapping the armrest: "You must know that Foundation Establishment Pills can enhance a Soul Master's Innate soul power. If it were a complete Dragon Transformation Secret Method, I could exchange it for five Foundation Establishment Pills. But yours is incomplete… for Yu Yuanzhen's face, at most two."
Yu Xiaogang frowned: "How can it be only two? You and my father said back then that a complete Dragon Transformation Secret Method could be exchanged for five Foundation Establishment Pills and five Soul Ascension Pills. I don't want the Soul Ascension Pills; I want all Foundation Establishment Pills, so why only two?"
Qian Daoliu chuckled: "Take it or leave it. You are not qualified to negotiate with me. Remember, this is Spirit Hall. You hold the Dragon Transformation Secret Method, and I can simply seize it, do you understand?"
Qian Daoliu disliked Yu Xiaogang's attitude. With a surge of soul power, Yu Xiaogang was sent flying backward, crashing directly into the main entrance, spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
"Your father has some qualifications to negotiate with me, but you? If it were before, you wouldn't even be qualified to see me."
Yu Xiaogang felt as if his bones were about to shatter, and he felt deeply humiliated!
But for the sake of the Foundation Establishment Pills, he had to endure!
As long as he obtained the Foundation Establishment Pills, he could be reborn!
"And frankly, our Spirit Hall wants your Dragon Transformation Secret Method merely for research into the mysteries of Martial Souls. Although this Dragon Transformation Secret Method greatly enhances the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, its flaws are also significant, you wouldn't know, would you?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed.
Qian Daoliu continued: "This Dragon Transformation Secret Method can only be applied to your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. If someone in your family has a mutated Martial Soul, then the Dragon Transformation Secret Method is basically useless. Do you think I don't know that?"
The Dragon Transformation Secret Method allows a Soul Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to undergo Dragon Transformation of one body part upon obtaining their third soul ring.
After Dragon Transformation, they gain a new skill and attribute enhancement.
For example, if both hands undergo Dragon Transformation, they become Dragon claws, with a 100% increase in lightning attribute and attack power.
This is a pure numerical boost!
Unfortunately, Yu Yuanzhen, that old Dragon, has remained at level ninety-five, unable to advance to Super Douluo. Otherwise, with the Dragon Transformation Secret Method, his strength would be even greater.
In Qian Daoliu's eyes, the Dragon Transformation Secret Method ranked last, mainly because it only held research value for Spirit Hall and had no practical use.
The Dragon Transformation Secret Method was not even as good as the Heart Separation Control secret technique, let alone the Clear Sky secret technique.
Of course, in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, it was different. Although the Dragon Transformation Secret Method was not as powerful as Ring Explosion, how could it be inferior to Heart Separation Control?
"Alright, two it is!"
Yu Xiaogang said reluctantly. His psychological expectation was originally three, and he had come at great risk.
But now, two Foundation Establishment Pills would at most provide him with four levels of Innate soul power, bringing his Innate soul power to four and a half levels.
With this Innate soul power, even with the Family's help, he would probably only reach Soul Saint at most in the future.
Furthermore, he had exchanged the Dragon Transformation Secret Method with Spirit Hall without informing his family, so it was still uncertain whether his family would continue to support him upon his return.
