Chapter 25 The Profound Flame Ice Dragon King, the Fire Dragon King with Outdated Aesthetics.
Two dragon souls, one blue and one red, flew out from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
The Water Dragon King had the appearance of an Eastern dragon, while the Fire Dragon King had the appearance of a Western dragon.
Neither of the two dragon souls was particularly large, but in Lin Fan's eyes, their oppressive aura was as heavy as a mountain.
"Boy, you know our slumbering place, yet you show no surprise," the Fire Dragon King spoke first.
Lin Fan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I learned of this by chance, and seeing you two seniors here today must mean you have something important to tell me."
"Your talent is high enough, you have the potential to be a god-king…" The Water Dragon King didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Therefore, we want to cooperate with you and help you become a god. All you need to do after you become a god is bring our dragon souls and dragon bones to the divine realm and then revive us."
Lin Fan was overjoyed; this was like a windfall. "I am naturally delighted that you two seniors value me so highly. However, I wonder how you two seniors plan to help me become a god?"
"Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits. To ensure the interests of both parties and to fulfill our promises, we need to sign a contract first." A contract scroll materialized before the Water Dragon King, with the terms of the contract written in human script.
The contract terms were clear and straightforward. Essentially, Lin Fan would inherit at least a God-King level position, and after becoming a god, he would bring the dragon souls and bones of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King to the God Realm and help them revive. During this process, the two Dragon Kings would fully support his ascension to godhood and would not do anything to harm his interests.
If Lin Fan breaches the contract, his cultivation will be completely destroyed! If the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King disobey, they will be annihilated, body and soul!
The Fire Dragon King breathed fire from his nostrils, and his voice boomed like a bell: "This contract will be engraved directly into the depths of your soul, and no one can break it."
Subsequently, Lin Fan completed the contract under the guidance of the Water Dragon King. Lin Fan asked with a grin, "Now you should tell me how you're helping me."
The Water Dragon King said calmly, "We won't invest too much in you at once. If you perish halfway through, we'll lose everything."
Okay, Lin Fan's smile has vanished.
"Don't resist, we will modify your body."
Of course, resistance is useless...
Suddenly, Lin Fan's body floated up and gradually arrived at the center of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. In the center of the spring, a stream of icy blue primal power slowly emerged from his body; it was his fourth ice-attribute martial soul, which was not yet fully formed.
Lin Fan felt a strange power coursing through his body. Although he felt somewhat uncomfortable, he did not feel any danger and let it do as it pleased.
The water in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire suddenly boiled, bubbling and gurgling. From the depths of the spring, blue-gold and red-gold blood, each the size of an infant's fist, floated out.
"This is our original divine blood. After fusing with the origin of your martial soul, it will grant you a brand new martial soul," the Water Dragon King explained.
The blue-gold blood was the first to merge into the martial soul's essence. In an instant, the martial soul's essence shone brightly. It began to take shape, gradually transforming into a divine dragon with an icy blue, oriental appearance. The dragon's scales shimmered with a cold light, and its whiskers fluttered.
Crimson-gold blood followed closely behind, merging into it as well. Crimson-gold patterns began to appear on the originally ice-blue dragon's body. In particular, the dragon horns turned completely crimson. A small portion of the dragon scales changed from blue-gold to red.
Looking at the Water and Fire Dragon King martial soul before him, born from the fusion of the divine blood power of the two Dragon Kings, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Although the dragon's color was somewhat strange, it gave people a sense of unparalleled majesty and holiness, as if it were a god born to be high above.
There is a unique beauty to it, a beauty that cannot be expressed in any language... Don't ask, the answer is divine influence. Even the Six-Winged Angel martial soul only evokes a sense of holiness and sanctity.
"This is the martial soul formed by the fusion of our original powers. Are you satisfied?" The Fire Dragon King's voice was filled with pride.
"Satisfied, very satisfied." After holding back for a long time, Lin Fan finally said, "This Water and Fire Dragon King martial soul, although it does not conform to common sense, has an indescribable beauty... It would be even better if the color scheme could be changed."
These color schemes would look great on any one dragon individually, but when combined... Hmm, it's hard to put into words.
"Hey, you're still not satisfied? Go for it!" The Fire Dragon King, with his short temper, couldn't stand it: "If you're so good, then you go ahead and make a nice one!"
As he spoke, the hot-tempered Dragon King briefly granted Lin Fan the power to shape his own martial soul. Lin Fan didn't stand on ceremony. They weren't in a superior-subordinate relationship at all; they were allies, so there was no need for much respect. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to reshape the appearance of his martial soul according to his own ideas.
When trying to woo a girl, she also cares about how good his martial soul looks. His martial soul is his face, so how can he be careless?
"Phew—" After some careful work, Lin Fan finally opened his eyes with satisfaction. The new appearance of the martial soul features a predominantly blue and gold color scheme, with red used only in small accents, such as the dragon eyes, which resemble rubies... The remaining areas are mostly dark blue with gold accents.
"Tch, this doesn't look good either." The Fire Dragon King curled his lip and withdrew his power.
Lin Fan said quietly, "Because you're outdated. Modern people like this style."
Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife! If this were a comic book world, the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul would have already been petrified and then turned into a pile of dust...
"Hahahaha!" The Water Dragon King couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Did you hear that? Outdated old thing..."
Lao Shui was very glad that he hadn't done the final shaping, otherwise he would have been the one to be scolded. Having been "trapped" here for hundreds of thousands of years, with only two dragon souls able to chat with each other, they have long since lost all airs.
To prevent the last remnants of the two dragon kings' souls from being completely washed away by time, they transformed directly into the dragon veins of Sunset Forest. Unfortunately, it had no effect whatsoever. Time would still wash away their consciousness, and they would probably lose all their memories and sense of self in another 20,000 years.
Lin Fan said, "How about calling it the Profound Flame Ice Dragon King martial soul?"
"The martial soul is yours; you decide for yourself," the Fire Dragon King said somewhat sullenly.
...
Outside the Eyes of Ice and Fire.
Dugu Bo said, "Hey, Yue Guan."
"What? You old poisoner, spit it out!" Yue Guan clearly didn't want to pay any attention to this guy.
"When the time comes, I'll have Yanyan study at the Spirit Academy. Can you help me arrange for her to get into that Elite Class?" Dugu Bo said confidently. "My precious granddaughter is a Level 7 Innate Realm cultivator and a Level 24 Grand Soul Master. That should be enough for her, right?"
"Uh, how old is your granddaughter this year?"
"She's 13. What's wrong?"
Yue Guan was somewhat shocked and puzzled.
"No way? Surely no one's a fool guarding a mountain of treasure without touching it? Those herbs inside... you didn't even touch them, did you...?"
"Absolutely not!"
Dugu Bo said confidently. He knew it was a good thing, but he didn't dare touch it.
