Guang's remnant Soul froze in mid-air, his shimmering light stagnating for a moment. He looked at Arthur's "this is a good idea" expression, then at Gu Yue's cold "it's settled" look.
"You guys are joking, right?" Guang's voice even changed pitch.
Arthur stroked his chin and nodded solemnly, "Senior, look, in your current state, to be honest, it's not very safe for a remnant Soul to be floating around outside, right? If you were caught and refined by some evil existence, how bad would that be?"
"It's better to come with me, let's unite."
"Grow big and strong, create glory together."
Guang was stunned by what he heard, wanting to refute Arthur's nonsense, but ultimately gave up. He knew he had no choice and could only wear a long Dragon face.
"You said it yourself, it's to protect Arthur," Gu Yue said faintly from the side, her silver gaze sweeping over Guang with a hint of pressure. "How can hiding in his right hand be as convenient as becoming a Spirit Soul?"
"And this is an order, so be it."
Looking at the hesitating Guang, Arthur knew it was a success; next, he just needed to be proactive, and then Guang would be half-pushing, half-yielding.
So he grabbed him and refined him in an instant.
"Don't worry, I'll finish quickly, just bear with it."
"Come, follow my rhythm."
Guang: "?"
Guang's Dragon Soul was grabbed in Arthur's palm, and the pure Light Dragon Seal instantly shone with great brilliance, wrapping him entirely within.
The light of the remnant Soul and the pure white Holy Light fused intensely, emitting a slight humming sound.
"??!" Guang was completely dumbfounded as a Dragon; he hadn't expected Arthur to just do it, and with such a simple and crude method!
And he was even using the power he had given him.
"Wait, don't go so fast, I'm not ready yet." Before Guang's mental protest could be fully sent out, he felt a strange power surge from Arthur's palm into his remnant Soul.
It was not a destructive refining, but a gentle yet incredibly overbearing guidance and Fusion.
The guiding power originated from that Seven-Colored Light Spot in Arthur's Sea of Consciousness.
The supreme Dragon God aura held a natural, irresistible dominion and attraction for any member of the Dragon Clan.
Before this aura, the will of Guang's remnant Soul to resist was instantly weakened by more than half.
The power of Fusion came from the four types of Dragon King Power within Arthur's body that had already preliminarily merged with him.
The Weight of the Mountain, the Agility of the Wind, the Emerald Space-Time, and the holiness of the Light Dragon Seal itself.
These four powers seemed to form a miniature, continuously circulating field of power, producing an instinctive call and capacity for the same-source Dragon King remnant Soul.
Especially the power of the Light Dragon Seal, it was like a home specially built for him, blending like milk and water as it actively accepted his Soul body.
Oh, that really was his home.
Guang had built it specifically for himself, originally intending to stay there until Arthur created his own God Realm.
But what surprised Guang even more was that Arthur's Soul strength far exceeded his expectations. The Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power was resilient and vast, like a warm ocean, wrapping and soaking his remnant Soul gently yet undeniably.
He could feel that once he merged into this sea of Souls, his tendency to dissipate would completely cease, and he might even be nourished.
"Is this the so-called Soul Spirit Method?"
Guang couldn't help but marvel. In previous years, he had felt the existence of Spirit Souls from the Tang Sect Soul Masters who entered the Dragon Valley.
But only by experiencing it personally could he feel the mystery within.
"The one who invented this thing is truly a Genius, with the potential of a God King!"
"Don't talk, relax," Arthur's voice rang directly in his Soul. "Dizziness is normal next, it'll be fine soon."
At the same time, Gu Yue lightly raised her fair hand, and a sliver of almost invisible silver thread Binding onto Arthur's wrist, silently stabilizing the surrounding violent yet pure energy fluctuations to prevent leaks or damage to the room.
She watched calmly with her silver eyes, not stopping Arthur's decisive Soul Spirit Contract; instead, a flash of clear realization crossed the depths of her eyes. Arthur's understanding and use of his own power was much deeper and bolder than it appeared on the surface.
Guang also found that he was simply powerless to resist. The suppression of the Dragon God Imprint, the attraction of same-source power, the embrace of Arthur's powerful Soul, and Gu Yue "watching like a hawk" nearby—all conditions pointed to one result.
He resignedly stopped his pointless resistance, his remnant Soul relaxing completely and actively meeting that force of guidance and Fusion. The seven-colored light turned inward, becoming docile and focused.
The refining process suddenly accelerated.
Arthur could clearly see and feel Guang's remnant Soul turning into the purest liquid light, flowing along the patterns of the Light Dragon Seal into his right hand.
Then it flowed upward, passing through the arm's Meridians, finally merging into his Sea of Consciousness, where it quickly took root and spread.
It established an incredibly mysterious deep connection with his Soul Origin, far exceeding a normal Soul Spirit Contract.
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no long and complex rituals. In just the time of a dozen breaths, the light in his palm completely receded.
Arthur spread his palm, and the patterns of the Light Dragon Seal seemed clearer and deeper by a few degrees, with seven-colored brilliance faintly flashing and vanishing beneath the pure white base.
His shoulder felt a slight weight as a miniature Dragon, as solid as colored glaze and only a bit over a foot long with gentle light flowing over its body, quietly emerged. It lay there lazily, its tail subconsciously curling around the ahoge on top of Arthur's head.
It was the Spirit Soul form of Guang. At this moment, although he was miniature in size, the degree of his Soul body's solidity far exceeded his previous remnant Soul state.
Because of the change in the form of existence.
If he was a remnant Soul before, then now as a Spirit Soul, he was complete.
The light was pure and stable, carrying a holy and ancient aura, but in those tiny Dragon eyes, there remained a trace of dazed shock and resigned gloom.
"Is it... over?" Guang raised a small claw, looked at his solid body, and felt the strange sensation of being closely connected and in a same-source symbiosis with the depths of Arthur's Soul, his tone complex.
"Yes, it's over." Arthur moved his right hand, feeling his entire right arm and even his whole body grow warm, filled with surging and pure light and sacred power. His perception and control over the other three Dragon King Powers also seemed to become more natural.
He could feel that Guang's Soul was like an ancient and precision machine, quietly settled into his Sea of Consciousness.
"How do you feel, Senior?" Arthur turned his head, looking at the miniature version of Guang on his shoulder, the corners of his mouth curving slightly.
"..." Guang was silent for a moment, flicked his little tail, and said gloomily, "It's okay, more... comfortable than expected. It's just that the process was too crude, can you brat give a heads-up next time?!"
Will there even be a next time?
Although he complained, Guang had to admit that after being so deeply bound, his state was better than ever before.
"This is a Spirit Soul, it truly is a Genius-like idea."
