Chapter 23 Jiang Che's System Reactivates!
The Silver Dragon King Emerges Ahead of Schedule!
The moment the shackles were broken, Hamorlet raised his head and opened his mouth, instinctively releasing the Dragon King Wave, which shot straight into the sky through the lake.
In an instant, the world changed color!
The clouds surged violently, and a majestic dragon's might descended from the clouds, causing the entire ground to tremble slightly.
The soul beasts in Sunset Forest knelt down and let out low growls.
"Not bad, now my Holy Court has gained another Limit Douluo powerhouse." Jiang Che glanced at the Dragon King Wave and nodded in satisfaction.
Including Justin and Dean, the Holy Court now has three Limit Douluo powerhouses, enough to make them proud on the Douluo Continent!
After absorbing the residual power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, Hamorlet's martial soul was also sublimated.
Now, even if he doesn't use his martial soul, he will not fear this spring water.
The Yin-Yang Spring, which everyone avoids, has instead become a blessed place for Hamorlet to consolidate his cultivation.
Suddenly, a familiar mechanical voice rose in Jiang Che's mind:
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully cultivating the third level 99 Limit Douluo!]
[Reward received: Holy Spirit Godhood Fusion Achievement 10%]
[Current Holy Spirit Godhood Fusion Achievement: 15%]
[Soul Power Level Increase: 1 level]
[Current Soul Power Level: 91]
"?"
"System?"
Jiang Che was stunned, unable to believe what he had just heard.
Since Miris advanced to Title Douluo, he hadn't heard this cold system notification for over twenty years.
For a moment, Jiang Che even thought he had been abandoned by the system.
He sighed softly, his words tinged with resentment, saying, "If only I had built the Holy Court here back then."
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was rich in Origin Qi; if Lei Yi and the others had occupied it earlier, Hamo's advancement speed would have been much faster.
Unfortunately, he had been focused on surviving and had completely forgotten about this treasure trove.
"Fortunately, it's not too late yet."
Jiang Che calmed himself down and asked in his mind, "System, will I have to wait until Lei Yi and the others reach level 99 before I can level up?"
After becoming a Title Douluo, each level up is incredibly difficult.
Even with Lei Yi and the others' exceptional talent, it will take them a considerable amount of time to reach their limit. Jiang Che didn't want to wait any longer.
The system's voice sounded again:
[This system has completed automatic upgrade]
[The host can choose to train 'talented Soul Masters' as evaluated by this system. The system will reward them based on the degree of improvement!]
Take on disciples?
Jiang Che's eyes flickered slightly.
Now that the Holy Court is known throughout the world, if he wanted to take on disciples, countless people would come to seek apprenticeship. It would be best to do this secretly.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Che slowly stepped out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Muse stepped forward and smiled, "Holy Lord, has Hamo successfully broken through to the Limit Douluo level?"
Jiang Che nodded slightly and said, "He just advanced to the Limit, and his foundation is still unstable. He is still cultivating."
"This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is also the territory of my Holy Court. You guard this place and protect Hamo. Do not let anyone disturb him."
"After Hamo finishes his seclusion, you can return to the Holy Court to report."
Muse nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Please rest assured, Holy Lord, I will definitely protect this place and Hamo."
At the same time that Hamorlet released the Dragon King Wave, the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest also reacted.
Countless soul beasts knelt down in the direction from which the dragon's might came, or more accurately, they bowed down to the soul power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.
In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, beneath the Lake of Life, a strange movement also came.
"How is this possible!"
"A human can actually absorb the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King?"
Beneath the waters of the Lake of Life, the girl's cold voice suddenly rose, accompanied by a hint of anger and doubt.
A moment later, a golden-eyed black dragon appeared, swimming to the depths of the lake and transforming into human form. The man's brows furrowed, his golden vertical pupils filled with doubt, and his voice trembled as he spoke:
"My lord, are you saying... a human has absorbed the power of my Dragon King?"
"Was that aura just now truly emitted by a human...?"
The man's name was Di Tian, the God of Soul Beasts in this Star Dou Great Forest, the 800,000-year-old Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King!
The person he addressed as "my lord" was naturally the Dragon God's avatar—the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na!
Gu Yue Na was silent for a moment, then said, "That's right. In the Dragon God War, the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King perished together. Their bodies fell to the Douluo Continent, their whereabouts unknown."
"Humans have actually become this powerful?!"
Even dragon-type martial soul masters can only absorb suppressed dragon-type soul beasts, Dragon Kings!
That was the pinnacle of existence below the Dragon God, something even the most powerful human Soul Masters couldn't touch.
How could Gu Yuena have imagined that Hamorlet's Martial Soul bloodline was that of the Dragon King of another world!
After a moment of silence, her voice rang out again, "Since the Heavenly Ranking descended, such things have happened. I must go and see for myself."
Hearing this, Di Tian hurriedly said, "My lord, you mustn't! Your injuries haven't healed yet. If anything happens to you, it will be a catastrophe for my Soul Beast lineage!"
Since the battle in the God Realm, Gu Yuena had fled back to Douluo Continent and had been recuperating at the Spring of Life.
According to Di Tian's estimation, her injuries would take at least 20,000 to 30,000 years to heal.
Gu Yuena didn't respond immediately.
Then, a colorful light flew out from the depths of the Spring of Life, and Di Tian followed the light.
A rainbow of light burst forth from the Lake of Life, settling on the shore and solidifying into a graceful figure.
The girl's long, silvery-white hair, like moonlight-woven silk, cascaded down her shoulders, the ends lightly brushing her ankles, each strand radiating a soft, lustrous sheen.
Her face was like finely sculpted white jade, her skin so white it was almost translucent, except for her striking purple vertical pupils.
Her pupils were as clear as solidified purple crystals, yet her brows held a cool, aloof air, as if the world's clamor was irrelevant to her.
A simple, silvery-white long dress clung to her body, accentuating her slender figure and exquisite curves, each contour like a meticulously drawn painting, elegant yet detached in its beauty.
Subtle dragon scale patterns, seemingly growing naturally, adorned the hem of her dress, their lines so fine they were almost imperceptible, only subtly surfacing when light shifted within them.
Di Tian followed closely behind, kneeling on one knee and bowing to Gu Yuena, his tone full of pleading: "I beg you to reconsider, my lord..."
Gu Yuena's gaze was fixed on the direction of Sunset Forest. She spoke slowly, her clear, cold voice reaching Di Tian's ears, "Don't worry, this is merely an avatar of mine."
"This matter is too strange; I need to investigate it personally."
Di Tian's eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "My lord, there are many powerful humans on the continent, and the top three on the Heavenly Ranking all possess divine inheritances. Perhaps I should accompany you?"
Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, "Bi Ji and Zi Ji are still in seclusion. You need to stay here to help them withstand this calamity."
With that, Gu Yuena transformed into a stream of light and flew towards Sunset Forest.
