Chapter 139: Seizing Tang San's Luck Power, Martial Soul Evolves into the Light Dragon King
"Damn it, I can't die here…"
Feeling his completely immobile body, Tang San roared hysterically in his heart.
He wanted to move his body, but Lin Chen's soul power pressure had him firmly locked in place.
Under such terrifying soul power suppression, Tang San had no room to resist at all and could only let Lin Chen dominate him.
After pinning Tang San in place, Lin Chen's figure slowly approached. The golden dragon claw radiated a terrifying aura, making Tang San's heart leap into his throat.
At this moment, Tang San's desire to survive had reached its peak.
He looked at Lin Chen, his face filled with pleading.
"Lin Chen, we don't really have any deep hatred between us, do we? Back at Nuoding Academy, everything I said was for your own good, even if my words were harsh."
"Can you spare me this once?"
"I promise I will never trouble you again in the future."
Tang San kept begging Lin Chen, hoping he would spare his life.
But how could Lin Chen possibly let Tang San, this hypocrite and true villain, go?
From his behavior in the original story alone, one could tell what kind of person Tang San was.
When weak, he was submissive and cautious; when strong, he struck ruthlessly and acted with blatant double standards.
"Tang San, if you want to beg for mercy, do it down below."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Chen's golden right dragon claw slammed heavily toward Tang San's chest.
A massive hole appeared as Tang San's entire chest was completely pierced through by Lin Chen.
"Lin… Chen, I, Tang San, curse… you… to die a miserable death!!!"
As his life force gradually faded, Tang San used his final breath to utter a venomous curse at Lin Chen.
If he could be reborn, his first goal would be to grow stronger, then take revenge on Lin Chen!
Watching Tang San die, Lin Chen let out a breath, though he did not completely relax.
In this era, the true threat of the Douluo Continent was not Tang San but the law enforcer of the God Realm, Asura God.
That was the one Lin Chen truly needed to be wary of.
After Tang San's life aura disappeared, Lin Chen's black diary began to tremble with activity.
Seeing this, Lin Chen summoned his black diary, opened it, and one blood-red line after another appeared upon its pages.
[Congratulations, Host, for killing Tang San for the first time and obtaining the Luck Power from Tang San.]
(Note: This Luck Power is a portion of the Douluo Continent's luck. Asura God seized it and injected it into Tang San's body, making him a quasi Child of Luck of the Douluo Continent.)
Seeing the information in the black diary, Lin Chen nodded in understanding.
He had already suspected this before; he just had never confirmed it.
How could Tang San, an outsider transmigrator from another world, become the Child of Luck of this era in the Douluo Continent?
It had to be the Asura God manipulating things behind the scenes, infusing a portion of the Douluo Continent's luck into Tang San.
Because of this, Tang San not only possessed exceptional talent and was one of the rare Twin Martial Souls in Douluo Continent's history,
but also had an incredibly powerful background. His father was Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, and his mother was the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor.
The influence of this luck also manifested in his opportunities: the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the external Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances and that Sea God inheritance item within the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Sigh… my Xue'er… She was clearly the true Child of Luck of this era, yet she was schemed against by the Asura God and ended up with her divine position shattered, forever unable to break through to the Titled Douluo level."
After confirming his thoughts, Lin Chen swore to seek justice for his Xue'er in the future.
As Lin Chen was sighing, more blood-red text surfaced on the black diary in his hand.
[Host, directly absorbing this Luck Power will cause you to be exposed before the Asura God.]
[This system has already processed the Luck Power and will now grant it to the Host as a reward. Please make your selection.]
[Option 1: The Host's Martial Soul, Golden Holy Dragon King, will evolve once more into a Dragon King–level Martial Soul, the Light Dragon King.]
(Note: Golden Holy Dragon and Golden Holy Dragon King are both bloodline branches of the Light Dragon King.)
[Option 2: The Host's soul power level can be directly raised from the current Soul Saint level to Rank 99 Ultimate Douluo.]
(Note: Upon reaching rank 99, the Host's strength will directly reach the peak of quasi-god level, the strongest below gods.)
Seeing the choices provided by the system, Lin Chen fell into thought. The directions of these two rewards were completely different—one enhanced talent, the other enhanced strength.
No matter which one he chose, the improvement for Lin Chen would be enormous.
But—
Without hesitation, Lin Chen chose the enhancement of talent. Compared to increasing his soul power level, improving his talent was far easier.
The Light Dragon King, at its peak, was a top-tier God King. Even the two primordial God Kings of the Douluo God Realm, the Evil God and the Kindness God, might not necessarily defeat a top-tier God King like the Light Dragon King in a one-on-one battle.
Therefore, a Dragon King–level Martial Soul would bring a qualitative leap to Lin Chen's talent.
"System, I choose Option 1! Evolve my Martial Soul into the Light Dragon King!"
Lin Chen called out to the system in his heart, making his choice clear.
Immediately after, mechanical system notifications echoed within Lin Chen's mind.
[Ding, the Host's martial soul will evolve within three seconds. The system has already concealed the phenomenon of martial soul evolution. Please proceed with confidence.]
After hearing the system's message, Lin Chen slowly sat cross-legged, preparing to evolve his martial soul into the Light Dragon King.
The next moment,
Lin Chen felt his meridians expand wildly, the vitality of his internal organs growing stronger, and his physical constitution undergoing earth-shaking changes.
He found these bodily changes completely normal; after all, Beast Martial Souls and Soul Masters thrive together.
When a Beast Martial Soul evolves, the Soul Master's body also becomes stronger.
Aside from the physical transformation, as the martial soul continued to evolve, the attribute power within Lin Chen's body changed drastically.
His body was now covered in light attribute energy, and endless Light Power slowly emanated from him.
Under the influence of Lin Chen's Light Power, the flowers, grass, and trees around him became full of vitality.
After a long while, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes and stood up, his gaze filled with joy.
A Dragon King–level martial soul was truly powerful.
Lin Chen was now confident that his combat power had absolutely reached the peak Rank 98 Super Douluo level.
As long as the three Ultimate Douluo did not appear, who in the world could stand against him?
Meanwhile, the golden dragon within Lin Chen's body could no longer hold back, eager to emerge and display its power.
Feeling the golden dragon's restlessness, Lin Chen had a thought and released the golden dragon from his body.
At that moment, hundreds of meters above Lin Chen, a hundred-meter-long five-clawed golden dragon appeared.
Endless Light Power radiated from the golden dragon as it let out a roar toward the sky. Its dragon might caused all the Soul Beasts in the entire forest to prostrate themselves.
