Chapter 10 Dragon Transformation Trump Card, Holy Soul Village

"You can do that?"

Gu Changge's face lit up with joy as he attempted to combine the aura of darkness and destruction and apply it to the Demon Blade Thousand Blades.

The two auras converged and blended.

Finally, it was a success.

The Demon Blade Thousand Blades possesses both darkness and destruction attributes, further increasing its power.

When using the Demon Blade Thousand Blades alone, one can only switch between one of the various ultimate attributes at will, and cannot combine them for use.

After transforming into a dragon, Thousand Blades can fuse and use multiple ultimate attributes.

"Since they can already coexist, can we also attach the two ultimate attributes to the Thousand Blade Fragments separately?"

Gu Changge suddenly had a brilliant idea and immediately began to try it out.

With a thought, he manipulated the two attributes of ultimate darkness and ultimate destruction, each swirling towards a shard of a thousand blades.

Soon, they succeeded.

One fragment of darkness exuded an abyss-like aura, while another fragment of destruction radiated a violent, tyrannical energy.

Same fragments, different effects.

"Although the soul power consumption increases several times after dragon transformation, the various abilities of the body increase exponentially, which gives me combat power far beyond my realm."

"If the Nine Heads of Heavenly Punishment appear together in the future, and multiple extreme attributes are combined and enhanced, wouldn't my strength become stronger and stronger...?"

Thinking of this, Gu Changge's gaze couldn't help but become fervent.

The ability to transform into a dragon is currently being used as a trump card.

The most important thing right now is to bring back the other eight heads of the God of Divine Punishment and obtain as many of their ultimate attributes as possible.

Although the more extreme attributes one has, the more difficult it is to increase one's soul power level, this does not hinder the improvement of Gu Changge's actual combat power.

"It's getting dark, I'll take a bath and then head to Holy Soul Village."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Gu Changge decisively exited his dragon form and withdrew his martial spirit.

Afterwards, I went back to my room to wash up and change.

……

Meanwhile, in the Soul Hunting Forest, about four hundred miles from Notting Academy.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

A pale purple creature, resembling both a pig and a dog, was running around the two people, one large and one small. It was about 1.5 meters long and its fat body made it look comical.

"Sanpao, clear the way ahead." Yu Xiaogang, with his hands behind his back, directed Luo Sanpao.

"Luo Luo."

Luo Sanpao shouted and scouted ahead of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

With his keen sense of smell, Luo Sanpao was able to detect the tracks of soul beasts and judge their strength.

"Xiao San, according to my research, the limit for a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is 423 years."

"Therefore, your teacher hopes that your first spirit ring can be as close to this age limit as possible."

Yu Xiaogang talked eloquently throughout the journey, explaining to Tang San his theory of the ten core competitive advantages of martial souls, as well as the arrangement of soul rings.

Although he lost face in front of Gu Changge, he could at least regain some confidence in front of Tang San.

"Teacher, what is the age limit of Gu Changge's first soul ring?" Tang San asked.

Yu Xiaogang paused, his face stiffening.

The thought of Gu Changge made him angry.

He, a renowned master in the world of soul masters, was looked down upon and even despised by a mere child.

Not only did he fail to recruit a disciple, but he was also ridiculed by the other party.

This kid is utterly arrogant.

Tang San keenly sensed Yu Xiaogang's reaction and realized in his heart that he had "said the wrong thing".

Before he could continue speaking, Yu Xiaogang said, "Gu Changge's first soul ring is over 423 years old, which is related to his body."

"He was known as a 'freak' at the academy. Despite his young age, he possessed superhuman strength and physical abilities that surpassed those of his peers."

"Of course, people like Gu Changge are exceptions and cannot represent everyone."

It is precisely because Gu Changge possesses "twin martial souls" and his first soul ring has an extremely high age limit.

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to express his intention to take on a disciple.

Unfortunately, Gu Changge was arrogant and a brute who only knew about cultivation levels and not about the charm of theory.

"Since his first spirit ring is over 423 years old, does that mean he had a stronger start than many others?" Tang San pressed.

"A high starting point does not necessarily mean a high ceiling."

"Xiao San, your future achievements will definitely surpass Gu Changge's, because you have a theory that you are second to none."

"With my guidance, you will definitely be able to reach the Title Douluo realm."

"If Gu Changge does not have a good teacher to guide him, he will eventually go astray on the path of cultivation and waste his talent."

Yu Xiaogang had a very confident smile, with his hands always behind his back, looking like a hermit master.

In his view, Gu Changge's refusal to accept him as a disciple was tantamount to refusing an opportunity to become a super strong person.

"Xiao San, as long as you strictly follow the teacher's requirements for cultivation, the gap between you and Gu Changge will only widen," Yu Xiaogang continued.

"Disciple understands."

Tang San nodded vigorously, his eyes resolute.

"Um."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, then pointed to a seemingly ordinary bamboo in front of him: "This is a ten-year-old lone bamboo, with excellent hardness and toughness."

"Teacher, should we hunt it?"

"Don't choose it for now. If there's no better option, then you can choose it later."

The two talked as they ventured deeper into the Soul Hunter Forest.

Atop a large tree not far from them stood a figure in a gray robe.

This person was dressed in a tattered gray robe, from which one could vaguely discern that he was tall and imposing. Although his true face was not visible, his aura was as deep as an abyss.

He followed them all the way, deeper and deeper into the Soul Hunter Forest.

……

……

night.

Holy Soul Village, east side of the forest.

This place is rarely visited by humans; the forest is damp and quiet, and snakes, insects, ants, and wild animals often appear here.

"Whoosh—"

A dark figure darted through the night, moving incredibly fast, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The shadowy figure moved faster and faster, weaving through layers of vines and moss, climbing up the steep hillside, where the sound of flowing water could already be heard.

A moment later, the sound of water grew louder and louder, sounding like a waterfall.

"It should be nearby."

Under the moonlight, the shadow gradually revealed its true form: a young boy with an unusual maturity in his eyes.

The boy was Gu Changge.

Using his 'God's-eye view' memories, he made his way to Holy Soul Village and determined its approximate location.

Gu Changge continued walking, pulling aside the drooping plant vines in front of him.

Suddenly, everything became clear and bright.

Beside the huge rock was a crystal-clear pool of water.

A hundred-meter-high waterfall plunges down into the pool with a thunderous roar, splashing water all around.

Under the moonlight, the water rippled and shimmered with silver light.

"The cave behind the waterfall."

Gu Changge quickly arrived at the top of the waterfall and used the unevenness of the rock face to climb upwards step by step.

Having climbed halfway up, I began my search.

About fifteen minutes later, Gu Changge successfully found the mechanism to open the cave.

Hidden beneath the moss, it is extremely difficult to spot.

"Click—"

With a casual press, Gu Changge created a gap in what appeared to be a perfectly sealed rock, revealing the entrance to the cave.

With a swift movement, he disappeared into it.

The cave is about three meters high and two meters wide, extending inwards. It is pitch black, so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face.

However, this dark environment was useless to Gu Changge.

"Thousand Blades - Shadow Strike." Gu Changge transformed into a shadow and darted into the depths of the cave.
