Chapter 359 The Obsession of the Dead Dragon Clan, a Gift.
"What's going on here?"
The moment this energy merged into his body, he felt not only a surge of lightning element stimulating his body, but also an increase in his soul power cultivation.
"Could this energy have another origin?"
Just as Xuan Mo was lost in thought, a voice came from above. The figures of the three Dragon Kings reappeared, this time hovering in mid-air.
"Because that lightning dragon just now wasn't a dragon soul."
The Earth Dragon King slightly raised his hand, and a stream of light disappeared into the ground where the lightning dragon's remains had been buried. Immediately afterward, the lightning dragon's phantom reappeared before Xuan Mo and the others.
However, this time, the lightning dragon seemed quiet.
The Earth Dragon King gave it a deep look, "Actually, what you just faced wasn't its dragon soul, but its obsession. Even what you received was a gift from the lightning dragon."
Hearing the Earth Dragon King's words, Xuan Mo understood slightly.
"Not dragon souls, but obsession and gifts?"
The Wind Dragon King took a step forward, pointing to the numerous dragon bones lying in the desolate valley before Xuan Mo, and said in a deep voice,
"These fellow dragons all perished in that great battle, their resentment soaring to the heavens. So, if you want to bury them, you'll inevitably gain their trust. However, although you possess the ancient bloodline, it's still insufficient; you'll likely suffer later..."
"Please enlighten me, Aunt Wind," Xuan Mo asked the Wind Dragon King.
"Boy," the Space Dragon King interjected, "Our dragon race is entirely composed of unruly individuals. Therefore, you only have two ways to gain their trust. First, defeat them..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the phantom of the thunder dragon, "As for the second one, it's that your strength is recognized by them."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo almost rolled his eyes. "Both of these methods just mean I have to fight every dragon skeleton I encounter!"
"We set up this test for that very purpose," the Earth Dragon King admitted without hesitation.
"And as long as you gain their recognition, you'll receive a reward for every skeleton you bury. This reward is your prize. And among these rewards, the improvement in soul power and physique is only one aspect. As for the other aspects… haven't you felt anything?"
When the Earth Dragon King asked this question, Xuan Mo realized what was happening and focused his mind on observing the changes within his body.
Soon, he discovered that, just as the Earth Dragon King had said, the energy that had been given remained dormant within his body, significantly increasing the speed of his soul power circulation and cultivation. He no longer needed to consciously control it; he could directly absorb external lightning elements, essentially allowing his soul power to circulate and cultivate on its own under external stimulation.
He also realized that the benefits he gained in this first trial would last a lifetime.
"Hehe! You felt it, didn't you? To borrow what you told Bing, this is the real way to level up and get equipment drops!"
Just as Xuan Mo was feeling delighted, the Wind Dragon King noticed the smile in his eyes and flashed forward.
Then, her pretty face, now in human form, suddenly appeared before him, almost startling Xuan Mo.
Just as the Wind Dragon King was about to reach out and pinch Xuan Mo's cheek, "Alright, Wind Sister, stop teasing Mo boy."
At this moment, the Earth Dragon King interrupted in time.
He beckoned to the Wind Dragon King, then continued to Xuan Mo, saying, "Boy Mo, continue your assessment. Although each gift isn't much, the accumulated soul power from thousands of dragons should be sufficient."
After a pause, the Earth Dragon King gazed towards the south of the secret realm and said, "And when you and that other human boy break through to level seventy, I will give you a gift."
With that, the three dragon kings vanished again.
Xuan Mo's gaze naturally fell upon the next dragon skeleton. Since that was the case, each subsequent dragon burial and gaining their approval would be an opportunity to improve his strength…
Meanwhile, in the secret realm, at a volcano in the south.
This volcano connected to an unknown depth underground, keeping the volcano in the secret realm constantly active, resulting in a very dense concentration of fire element in the area.
As a result, many fire-type dragon souls instinctively settled here, absorbing the energy emitted by the volcano to strengthen themselves. Over time, everything seemed peaceful and tranquil.
Until today, uninvited guests arrived here.
A streak of red light streaked across the sky and landed atop the crater. Although the red glow of the flames had dissipated, a layer of energy fluctuation remained, only vaguely revealing two figures. One figure was being held captive by the other.
This immediately provoked a swarm of dragon souls to attack.
"Roar!"
The dragon souls roared, but just as they were about to attack the two figures on the crater, an inexplicable, strange fluctuation emanated from the figure holding the person.
"Woo woo woo..."
In the blink of an eye, the ferocity of the dragon souls vanished. Instead, they prostrated themselves on the ground, emitting whimpering sounds, their faces revealing pleading, fear, and above all, respect.
"Hahaha! You don't need to do this, it's nothing serious!" A hearty laugh suddenly came from the figure.
Clearly, this figure didn't care about the offenses committed by the dragon souls.
Hearing the figure's forgiveness, the dragon souls trembled and retreated like a receding tide.
In an instant, only two figures remained in the volcano.
The energy fluctuations surrounding them dissipated, revealing their true forms.
These two were none other than Ma Hongjun and the Fire Dragon King.
"Kid, I must say your talent is truly remarkable for your age." The Fire Dragon King flicked his finger, and a stream of light shot from his fingertip, piercing Ma Hongjun's mouth.
This was obviously because the Fire Dragon King, annoyed by Ma Hongjun's antics, had simply gagged him halfway through.
"That's right, I'm the fifth strangest monster in Shrek Academy!"
Ma Hongjun, who had initially harbored some resentment, immediately showed a smug expression after hearing the Fire Dragon King's words.
"Is that so?"
The Fire Dragon King's lips curled into a smile. "Even so, in my opinion, that's all there is to it."
