Chapter 357: Chapter 192: Disabling Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul, Liu Erlong Becomes the Holy Radiant Dragon_2
...
"Knock, knock, knock."
Late at night.
Liu Erlong frowned upon hearing her door knocked, "Whoever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"I can't wait, it's urgent," came the reply from outside the door.
Qin Xiao!
Liu Erlong's frown eased instantly; if it was him, her drowsiness vanished immediately.
She stood up swiftly and sorted out her somewhat disheveled silk nightgown.
But, the next moment, her hands halted.
She undid two buttons at the front of her chest.
Then she walked towards the door.
"Creak."
Pushing open the door, there indeed was Qin Xiao standing outside.
Upon seeing Liu Erlong, Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Well, well.
Big, deep, and pale.
He was instantly ensnared.
"Cough cough."
Liu Erlong's face showed an unnatural expression as she coughed lightly, "Shall we talk inside?"
Qin Xiao was even more straightforward; he swept Liu Erlong into his arms and entered the room.
Pressing her beneath him.
Heave-ho.
Finding his opportunity amidst the struggle...
After a long time.
Unbeknownst to them, the sky began to brighten faintly.
"Qin Xiao, I—I can't go on, let's rest for a bit..."
Liu Erlong nestled in Qin Xiao's embrace, her voice weak.
Qin Xiao looked down slightly and saw Liu Erlong's body was covered in bright red marks.
He felt somewhat guilty.
However, he soon smiled again, "I do have a way to help you recover quickly."
"You..." Liu Erlong looked astonished, not knowing what to say.
In the end, she pinched Qin Xiao shyly around his waist.
"Let's get on with it."
Qin Xiao shifted from lying down to sitting up against the head of the bed.
His right arm was wrapped around Liu Erlong, and his left hand gathered a shining light.
"What exactly is this?"
Even though she couldn't make out the full appearance of the object, Liu Erlong felt a thrill in her heart.
She faintly sensed that this item would be extraordinary and of significant importance to her.
"Just watch."
Qin Xiao gave a mysterious smile; the next moment, he stopped suppressing the soul power in his hand and presented the soul of the Holy Radiant Dragon—extracted from Yu Xiaogang—in full view before Liu Erlong.
Qin Xiao felt Liu Erlong stiffen in his arms.
"This, this is..."
Liu Erlong widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
A trembling sensation came from deep within her soul.
Qin Xiao answered earnestly, "You should feel some resonance. Yes, it is indeed a strand of the Holy Radiant Dragon's soul.
Even though it's just a strand, it's enough to evolve your Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to its final form, reaching the level of the Holy Radiant Dragon."
"It really is the soul of the Holy Radiant Dragon!"
Although she had her suspicions, the confirmation from Qin Xiao still left Liu Erlong shocked.
"Where did you find it!"
"You don't need to worry about that, consider it recycling of waste."
Waste?
Recycling?
Women are always sensitive; Liu Erlong's complexion changed immediately upon hearing Qin Xiao's words.
"Haha, don't be so sensitive, the waste I'm referring to isn't you. You are a treasure in my eyes," Qin Xiao said, throwing her a cheesy line.
Corny as it was, it proved to be effective.
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Liu Erlong's face blossomed with joy once again.
"Come on, absorb the dragon soul first."
"Your Martial Soul will undergo its final evolution, and your soul power may even break through to level 90."
As he spoke, Qin Xiao placed the dragon soul into Liu Erlong's palm.
He then stood aside.
Looking at the dragon soul in her hand, Liu Erlong's eyes became resolute.
She sat cross-legged.
Her hair cascaded freely in front of her, covering up the spring scenery.
Then she clapped her palms together fiercely, and the Soul Force Barrier sealing the soul of the Holy Radiant Dragon shattered instantly.
To Qin Xiao's surprise, this fusion process went exceptionally smoothly.
Refining the soul of the Holy Radiant Dragon obtained from Luo Sanpao, it didn't resist or reject, but actively burrowed into Liu Erlong's palm.
Immediately after, Qin Xiao noticed that Liu Erlong's body underwent a strange transformation.
Golden light burst forth from Liu Erlong's body, rendering her almost transparent.
Even the golden light continued to expand.
"This commotion isn't small!"
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with resolve, and a powerful Soul Power surged out to form a barrier, enveloping him and Liu Erlong within it.
If others noticed the anomaly and came over, it wouldn't be good.
It didn't matter to him and Liu Erlong if they were open with each other, but if a third person saw it, that would be awkward.
"Roar!"
At that moment, a roar erupted from within Liu Erlong.
It was a resonant dragon's cry.
Its penetrating power made even Qin Xiao's ears ring.
He felt relieved, "Fortunately, I had the foresight to set up the Soul Force Barrier in advance. Otherwise, this cry would definitely have brought everyone in the academy here to watch."
The sound gradually weakened.
A giant dragon's phantom emerged behind Liu Erlong.
Golden Scale Armor, golden claws, even the pupils were golden.
Noble, mysterious, powerful...
"It's done!"
"The Holy Radiant Dragon!"
Joy appeared in Qin Xiao's eyes.
All his efforts had not been in vain.
However, the surprise did not end there.
A moment later, the Soul Power within Liu Erlong began to fluctuate.
With a "crack," Qin Xiao faintly heard a crisp sound.
He knew this was not an illusion.
Following that, an even more powerful soul power fluctuation erupted from Liu Erlong.
"Is this what level 90 feels like?"
At this moment, Liu Erlong also opened her eyes, murmuring excitedly.
She looked at her own hands, feeling somewhat surreal.
"Are you surprised?"
Qin Xiao smiled gently, "Just one more Soul Ring and you will be a Titled Douluo-level expert."
"Yes, I still feel a bit unreal," Liu Erlong said as she looked at Qin Xiao with eyes filled with excitement and gratitude, along with a hint of nostalgia.
"Qin Xiao, perhaps you don't know, but before I met you, Soul Douluo was the limit I could imagine, and even then, I didn't know how many years it would take to reach that level," she continued.
"But after meeting you, everything changed. How long has it been? In just a short year's time, I've become one of the few Titled Douluo-level experts in Soul Land."
"Even my Martial Soul has undergone a tremendous change, from a mutated Fire Dragon Spirit to a Holy Radiant Dragon's martial soul, which is even more powerful than the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Martial Soul."
As Liu Erlong spoke, tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks.
Because of her Martial Soul, she had suffered too much since childhood.
Forget the Holy Radiant Dragon's martial soul, if her original awakened Martial Soul had been the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, then she and her mother could have returned to the family with honor.
She would not have been called a bastard, nor her mother an outsider..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao walked silently to Liu Erlong's side, personally wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said softly, "You are my woman, it's what I should do. Be good, don't cry anymore."
"Everything has gotten better, no one can look down on you now.
"The once haughty Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan has long bowed at your feet, haven't they?"
At this moment, he felt very heartbroken.
Who would have imagined that beneath Liu Erlong's fierce and strong exterior lay such a fragile heart?
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
Liu Erlong, holding back her tears but with a trembling voice, threw herself into Qin Xiao's arms, repeating these words over and over.
Qin Xiao said nothing, just gently stroked Liu Erlong's back, soothing her.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Erlong gradually fell asleep in Qin Xiao's arms.
...
Two days later.
Qin Xiao and Liu Erlong arrived at the Aquipeia Forest.
"Qin Xiao, I, Liu Erlong, am not a weakling anymore, nor am I the kind of little woman content to hide behind a man.
Hunting for a Soul Ring? I can do it on my own," she muttered discontentedly.
Of course she said one thing, but her heart was warm.
Typical tsundere.
Qin Xiao asked, "But is it the same? On your own, what age soul beast could you hunt?"
After pondering seriously, Liu Erlong answered, "At least I could hunt a fifty-thousand-year-old one. With a bit of luck, maybe even seventy-thousand or eighty-thousand years."
Qin Xiao laughed, "Well, there you go, when I'm here, we don't need to rely on luck, just strength."
