Chapter 164: Ice and Fire Dragon Pills? Tang Hao's Impotent Rage!
"This is... the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?" Tang Chuan's expression shifted slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief. He then swam over with all his might.
When he got closer, he finally saw that behind the two red and blue light circles, a vast expanse of towering, majestic rocks was faintly visible.
At first, Tang Chuan thought they were rock formations piled up at the bottom of the lake.
But when he looked closely, his heart trembled.
These were not rocks at all! They were clearly the vertebrae of two unimaginably massive dragon corpses!
These vertebrae stretched out like mountains, each segment incredibly thick, with cold, ferocious bone spikes protruding from them, like sharp saw teeth, making one's heart tremble.
The next second, Tang Chuan gently extended his finger. He tentatively touched the spine of the massive dragon corpse.
However, as soon as his fingertip touched it, he heard a soft cracking sound.
The seemingly indestructible bones had long since weathered away. A gentle poke caused them to collapse, leaving a small dent the size of a finger, turning them into powdery fragments that drifted away with the water.
"Just as I expected, the energy within these two dragon corpses was probably completely drained countless years ago to nurture this Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire... Now only empty shells remain, devoid of the Dragon King's former power." Tang Chuan sighed inwardly, his gaze slightly narrowed. At this point, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"However, whether there's truly nothing left, we'll need to investigate further."
As he finished speaking, his soul power surged, and his Blue Silver Domain instantly expanded.
In an instant, vast swathes of Blue Silver Grass surged forth from the cracks in the dragon corpse remains and the fissures in the bones, like tendrils of life, rapidly spreading throughout the massive dragon skeleton.
A torrent of spiritual power poured forth.
Tang Chuan began to probe inch by inch with the help of his Blue Silver Domain, simultaneously scanning every part of the two dragon corpse remains.
Soon, through careful probing with his Blue Silver Domain, he discovered two intertwined red and blue lights shimmering deep within the two dragon corpses.
"What is this? Could it be... a soul bone?" Tang Chuan's brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of excitement in his eyes, as he muttered to himself.
Immediately, he concentrated his mental energy, extending the tentacles of his Blue Silver Domain towards the direction from which the light emanated. The closer he probed, the more surprised he became to discover that the light was not from soul bones, but from two crystal-clear dragon cores.
In the Douluo Continent, dragon cores are treasures formed from the life essence of a dragon, containing bloodline and power, equivalent in status to a soul master's soul core, their value immeasurable.
Thinking this, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately swam towards the location of the dragon cores.
However, Tang Chuan had only swum halfway when the two ice and fire dragon souls not far away suddenly opened their tightly closed eyes.
In an instant, a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from the two dragon souls, instantly distorting and deforming the surrounding water, and even causing the entire lake surface to churn.
"What? These two guys are still conscious?"
Tang Chuan's heart sank, and he immediately sensed an extremely ominous situation.
Without the slightest hesitation, he accelerated upwards, his legs paddling rapidly, his body shooting towards the lake surface like an arrow, desperately swimming upwards.
...
"Splash!"
The silent surface of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes Lake was calm and still.
Only the occasional burst of bubbles made a faint sound.
Suddenly, a sound of water breaking rang out, and then a somewhat disheveled figure flashed out, finally hovering in mid-air, panting heavily.
"What happened? How did you get so disheveled?" Looking at the panting Tang Chuan, Xiao Rui'er immediately stepped forward and asked with a somewhat nervous expression.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Chuan recounted everything he had seen at the bottom of the lake to Xiao Rui'er.
"I never imagined... this place would be the burial site of the Ice and Fire Dragon King." Upon hearing this, Xiao Rui'er's expression changed slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she murmured.
Tang Chuan feigned ignorance, knowingly asking, "What Ice and Fire Dragon King? I've never heard of him."
Xiao Rui'er shook her head helplessly, patiently explaining, "Back then, the progenitor of soul beasts, the Dragon God, had nine sons, each controlling one of the seven elements: water (ice), fire, earth (Taotie), wind, light, darkness, and space. Adding the Mountain Dragon and the strongest dragon son—the Golden Dragon—these nine were collectively known as the Nine Dragon Kings."
"My Spirit, the Golden Dragon, is the bloodline left by the Golden Dragon, the leader of the dragon sons. After the Ice and Fire Dragon King fell, his body fell here, nourishing this precious land."
"I see." Tang Chuan nodded slightly.
"I never expected that even after the fall of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, they would still have left behind dragon cores." Xiao Rui'er's eyes flickered, her gaze burning as she looked at Tang Chuan, a hint of probing and expectation in them.
"Do you want to get these two dragon cores?" she asked.
"You have a way?" Hearing this, Tang Chuan's face immediately lit up with joy, and he nodded hastily.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Rui'er nodded.
The next second, she suddenly raised her hand, gently clenched it, and the Golden Dragon Spear instantly materialized in her palm. Then, she swung the spear fiercely, the tip swiftly slicing across the palm of her other hand.
Instantly, crimson blood spurted out!
…
Meanwhile, in a forest outside Heaven Dou City.
A campfire flickered gently in the dense forest, illuminating the night with scattered lights.
Looking at Tang San warming himself by the fire not far away, Tang Hao's gaze narrowed slightly, a hint of tears welling up in his eyes. He murmured to himself, "Ah Yin...do you know how much I miss you?"
Hearing this, Tang San immediately stood up and strode to his father, his voice filled with urgency and confusion. "Dad, Ah Yin...is that Mom's name? Where...where is she now? Could it be...as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School said, that Mom has been killed by the Spirit Hall?"
Tang Hao didn't answer immediately, remaining silent, a heavy silence weighing on his heart.
After a long while, he finally spoke, his tone firm and cold: "Little San, you are not qualified to know the truth yet. The only thing you need to do now is become stronger."
"Dad, how can I become stronger?" Tang San's expression was complex.
A resolute glint flashed in Tang Hao's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "I originally planned to start your special training after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. But the situation has changed, and I feel it's necessary... to start now."
Having not seen his father for a long time, Tang San's mind was filled with countless questions. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask again, "Dad, when you saved me before, you said that my brother colluded with outsiders and secretly plotted to steal Mom's belongings... What exactly did Mom leave behind that would make you so angry?"
"It's... it's a... 100,000-year-old soul bone."
Tang Hao's face instantly turned pale and then purple, his fingers trembling slightly as he stomped his foot hard.
"That beast! One day, I'll personally cleanse the Tang family of this filth!"
"What? Dad, what did you say? My brother stole a 100,000-year-old soul bone?!" Hearing this, Tang San was stunned, his face turning extremely ugly. He said incredulously, "My brother... he's simply a beast! How could he do such a thing?"
"As his younger brother, he lacks talent and needs a soul bone to improve his strength. I could have easily given it to him. But... how could he collude with outsiders to scheme against our family's possessions?!"
"Little San, what you need to do now is become stronger as quickly as possible, defeat him, and take back what belongs to you." Tang Hao slammed his fist into the tree trunk beside him, roaring in a fit of impotent rage.
