"If possible, I'd still rather have a sacrifice. The effect would be better, and it would let me directly obtain a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring."
As Chen Ming spoke, he summoned his Dragon Spear. His Martial Soul trembled slightly, and the faint phantoms of a water dragon and a fire dragon coiled around the spear.
Dugu Bo had seen Chen Ming's Dragon Spear Martial Soul before, but this was Qian Renfeng's first time seeing it.
At first, he thought it was some special weapon, or maybe a weapon-type Spirit Ability, or even something like a beast soul turned into a tool. But after silently sensing it for a while, Qian Renfeng finally realized he could no longer lie to himself.
This was clearly a second Martial Soul.
Everyone knew that twin Martial Souls had far greater potential than a single Martial Soul. Anyone could imagine filling the first Martial Soul with Spirit Rings, then giving the second Martial Soul high-age Spirit Rings.
The only problem was that no one knew how twin Martial Souls should be cultivated, or how to add Spirit Rings to the second Martial Soul without causing the two Martial Souls to clash and make the body explode.
But the person showing twin Martial Souls was Chen Ming.
And Chen Ming was now the number one research expert on the continent, the top Spirit Master researcher. No one would think he would be stuck at the problem of making twin Martial Souls coexist.
What Qian Renfeng could not understand was where Chen Ming's second Martial Soul had come from.
"I received some inheritance left behind from ancient times. That's why I awakened a second Martial Soul later in life. This was originally a weapon I refined, but during its transformation, it fused with me. This process can't be copied."
Qian Renfeng did not know what to say.
Mainly, he did not know how to show his feelings, nor how to describe what this situation even was.
He could only stay silent and watch Chen Ming wave the Dragon Spear in his hand.
He had always thought his own luck was already quite good.
But in front of someone truly chosen by fate, Qian Renfeng fell silent.
Forget it. It is what it is. I'll just tell the Grand Worship about this later and let him think about what to do.
When he heard that Chen Ming wanted to make the dragon soul sacrifice itself, Qian Renfeng first felt that it was impossible.
But after seeing Chen Ming's twin Martial Souls, he suddenly felt that a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast sacrificing itself did not seem that impossible anymore.
In any case, he was only responsible for being a fighter. The rest had nothing to do with him.
After discussing for a long time, the three of them settled on their next plan.
Chen Ming temporarily bid farewell to Qian Renxue before bringing Dugu Bo and Qian Renfeng into the forest to explore.
With their strength, even if they were no match for the Spirit Beasts they encountered, escaping would not be difficult.
"You're heading out?"
Hearing Chen Ming's words, Qian Renxue sensed that something was off. She did not understand why he suddenly wanted to enter the forest.
As far as she knew, even with Dugu Bo's help, Chen Ming should not be able to hunt a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast at this time, right?
Even so, when facing Chen Ming's request, Qian Renxue still showed a generous expression. After reminding Chen Ming again and again to be careful, she agreed to let him leave.
After all, even if she did not agree, it would not matter.
With Dugu Bo protecting him, Chen Ming could go wherever he wanted.
...
Following the traces left by the Spirit Beasts, the group walked deeper into the forest.
With his current senses and his dragon bloodline power, Chen Ming was like a bloodhound. Along the way, he followed the heavy water aura and dragon aura as they moved forward.
The place where the Dragon Turtle was hiding was not that far away. It was just in a deep pool of water.
The pool looked bottomless, and it seemed to be connected to underground currents. No one knew where it led.
After Chen Ming and the others arrived beside the pool, Dugu Bo directly released his aura.
The Dragon Turtle, deep under the water, sensed the aura of a Titled Douluo above. It felt somewhat confused.
Just as it was about to use the underground waterway to leave, it suddenly sensed a pure dragon aura that made both its soul and bloodline tremble.
Noble, pure, powerful, holy.
It felt like every good word in the world could be used to describe this aura.
The Dragon Turtle was a mixed-blood Spirit Beast, born from a dragon-type Spirit Beast and a Black Tortoise Turtle Spirit Beast. He had chased true dragon power and true dragon bloodline countless times before.
He had searched the sea for traces left behind by the water dragon clan. He had even once seen a real water dragon with his own eyes.
He had always believed that although he was not a true dragon, he was already very close to one. He also believed that although his bloodline was not as noble as a true dragon's, it was not that much weaker.
But before this aura, he felt like an ordinary ten-year little turtle standing before a hundred-thousand-year Black Tortoise Turtle.
In his heart, there was only a deep, wordless respect and longing.
Run, or go up?
Reason told him that if a human Spirit Master dared to release this aura in front of him, then they must be planning something.
But his instincts made it impossible for him to stop his body from floating upward.
"What exactly is this aura?"
The Dragon Turtle carefully poked his head out of the water and looked around the shore.
In the end, he was shocked to confirm that the pure power of a higher being he had sensed actually came from something in a human Spirit Master's hand…
He did not want to admit that this thing was actually a human Spirit Master's Martial Soul.
But no matter how he tried to deny it, he could not explain why that powerful divine weapon was connected to the human's bloodline.
Could this human Spirit Master be the reincarnation of some legendary Dragon King?
No. Impossible.
The Dragon Turtle sensed it.
Aside from the power of ultimate water, that spear was also wrapped in a hard-to-describe fire aura and dragon aura.
If the water-attribute power could be explained as the legacy of the Water Dragon King, then what was that fire-attribute power?
Could a human really obtain the power of both the Water and Fire Dragon Kings at the same time, then use it to strengthen his Martial Soul?
Rather than believing that, it would be easier to tell him that the Dragon God was actually the great traitor of the dragon race in legend.
The Dragon King's legacy was almost like a myth, even in dragon legends.
Even the remaining Spirit Beasts of the water dragon clan could not find the Water Dragon King's power in the sea.
How could a human possibly gain a Dragon King's recognition?
"Dragon Turtle, I want to make a deal with you."
Chen Ming released the dragon aura from his body. Aside from the two powers of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, he also released the twin auras of the Mountain Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King within him.
