Chapter 15: The Second Martial Soul Achieved!
"Purify!"
The holy white light enveloped the souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, instantly cleansing them of their deathly resentment and unwillingness, leaving only pure essence power.
Once the remnants of their spirits were completely erased, Electrolux waved his staff again, and the two dragon souls immediately rushed into Du Qianjue's body, imprinting on the depths of his soul.
At this moment, the martial soul given to Du Qianjue by the Skydream Iceworm gained a soul.
The Ice Dragon King's soul first fused in, giving the soulless ice element a spirit. Then, the Fire Dragon King's soul also fused into the Ice Dragon King's soul.
Despite the typical incompatibility of water and fire, the two dragon kings merged perfectly without any hindrance, as if they were born to be one.
The red and blue colors gradually changed—red deepened to black and blue lightened to white—finally forming a yin-yang symbol.
This symbol merged with the Taiji diagram from Du Qianjue's previous ice and fire body training, slowly rotating at his abdomen. The martial soul formed by the fusion of the two dragon kings continued to integrate with him.
A powerful dragon aura began to brew within Du Qianjue, as if a dormant dragon was awakening.
Seeing the stable progression of events, Electrolux nodded in satisfaction and waved his staff again. The divine power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings gathered before him, forming two bones.
These were two arm bones—one red for the left arm and one blue for the right arm. Strangely, these bones also included shoulder blades, each adorned with a three-inch-long dragon wing.
Electrolux casually threw the bones towards Du Qianjue.
As soon as they touched Du Qianjue, the bones melted into liquid and seeped into his arms.
"Hmm... not bad. This should do it," Electrolux stroked his chin, satisfied with his work. He then thrust his staff into the ground, absorbing the remaining divine power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, making his once-ethereal figure more solid.
"I didn't expect to gain some benefit from paying my rent; my fragile divine sense has even recovered a bit," Electrolux chuckled.
"Well then, I'll help you again if the opportunity arises, little guy."
Electrolux turned, transforming into a gray orb and returning to Du Qianjue's sea of consciousness.
The staff, which had consumed two-tenths of the Skydream Iceworm's essence, shattered completely, but neither Du Qianjue nor the Skydream Iceworm felt any regret because it was entirely worth it!
Not only did Du Qianjue obtain a martial soul formed by the fusion of the Ice and Fire Dragon King souls, but he also received their divine arm bones!
The black and white Taiji diagram at Du Qianjue's abdomen continued to rotate, constantly absorbing the surrounding ice and fire elements to nurture the newborn martial soul. Given the martial soul's immense power, both nurturing and integration would take considerable time.
Fortunately, before leaving, Du Bushi had informed Jinpeng, otherwise, with such an extended absence, Jinpeng's heart might not have been able to handle it.
Meanwhile, in the valley, Du Bushi wasn't idle either. Having recently broken through to the Ultimate Douluo level, he hadn't fully comprehended his Yin-Yang dual soul cores or the power of this new level.
Using the time while protecting Du Qianjue, he meticulously sorted through his newfound strength.
The fusion process took two years.
During these two years, if not for sensing Du Qianjue's aura at the lake's bottom growing increasingly stable, Du Bushi would have thought something had gone wrong.
After a long wait, Du Qianjue finally awoke.
For Du Bushi, the two-year wait was agonizing, but for Du Qianjue, it felt like just a nap.
"Mmm... that felt good!" Du Qianjue stretched, his bones crackling.
"Brother Tianmeng, how long have I been asleep?"
Curious, Du Qianjue woke up the Skydream Iceworm.
"How would I know? I was asleep too!" The Skydream Iceworm rolled its eyes and went back to sleep.
Having consumed two of its essence seals at once, Electrolux's intervention had indeed left the Skydream Iceworm significantly weakened, making it even more prone to sleep.
Seeing that the Skydream Iceworm didn't know either, Du Qianjue shook his head helplessly and shot up towards the surface.
What once exerted immense pressure, the Ice and Fire Springs, now felt as comfortable as a hot spring bath.
With a splash, Du Qianjue burst out of the water.
Despite being only ten years old, he now stood nearly 1.7 meters tall. Both the ice and fire body training and the martial soul and soul bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon King had significantly enhanced his physique.
"Qianjue, did you succeed?"
Before Du Qianjue could steady himself, Du Bushi appeared before him, looking excited and expectant.
"Yes!" Du Qianjue nodded vigorously, summoning the power within him.
"Roar!!"
A majestic dragon roar erupted, accompanied by a potent dragon aura that even made Du Bushi feel a slight pressure.
This wasn't due to strength but rather the suppression of a higher-level martial soul over a lower-level one.
"Good, good, good!!!" Du Bushi was overjoyed, laughing heartily as he saw the gray-white dragon scales on Du Qianjue's face and his transformed dragon claw.
Du Qianjue looked down at his dragon claw, closed his eyes to feel it, and then a golden-red soul ring with ten blue-gold patterns rose from his feet.
A divine soul ring, the God Ring of the Ice and Fire Dragon King!
Unlike the million-year soul ring from the Skydream Iceworm without divine imprints, this was a true divine soul ring, containing the fragmented and fused divinity of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
Though the divinity was shattered, making it impossible to inherit the Ice and Fire Dragon King's god position, the divine essence within it would allow Du Qianjue to skip the stages of pseudo-god and demigod when creating his own god position in the future. Once he reached the limit Douluo level, he could directly establish his god position!
Furthermore, the martial soul formed by the fusion of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had evolved into the Chaos Dragon King martial soul!
This meant that in the future, by integrating all elemental attributes and maximizing his physical abilities, Du Qianjue could potentially become the Dragon God.
However, there was no need to tell Du Bushi all this.
"Uncle, how long did it take me to fuse the martial soul?" Du Qianjue asked.
Du Bushi paused, then smiled wryly, holding up two fingers.
"Two years."
Regarding the Chaos Dragon King, some readers might find it unreasonable, but I base it on information from the original work. The original mentioned that the ice and fire elements from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could merge into chaotic energy, implying that the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings could fuse into a Chaos Dragon Soul. The strength of the chaos attribute isn't the main point; the protagonist can later add more powerful elemental attribute soul rings to this martial soul, ultimately integrating all attributes to complete the chaos attribute. Remember, the Chaos Dragon King's chaos attribute isn't inherently overwhelmingly strong but allows for the harmonious fusion of all attributes.
Think of the Embryonic Dragon and the Purple Radiance Extinction Dragon—they both have attributes of annihilation and destruction, which they wouldn't possess in other worlds. This world is more of a foundational setting, not a mythological one. Don't overthink it; focusing too much on details takes away the fun of reading.
