Chapter 115: Five Earth Dragon Souls
Above the plains, dragon clouds of various colors drifted in dense clusters, numbering in the hundreds. Yet Yu Tianlin could not absorb most of them. Only the blue purple lightning attribute dragon clouds responded to him.
There were many blue dragon clouds, and many purple dragon clouds, but the number of blue purple ones was actually very small. Yu Tianlin wandered the plains for most of the day and only managed to absorb around 10 of them.
Each time the blue purple dragon cloud pierced through his body, Yu Tianlin's physical strength would rise slightly. And every time it passed through, it carried out a wisp of gray substance, the nature of which remained unclear.
As that gray substance continued to leave his body, Yu Tianlin felt more and more relaxed. His whole body felt light and ethereal, as if his muscles and bones had finally been allowed to breathe.
At first, he did not understand what the gray wisps were. But as his body's sensations became more obvious, he gained a vague realization.
The gray substance drawn out by the blue purple dragon cloud was probably the impurities inside his body.
It was important to understand one thing. If someone wanted to cultivate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul into true dragon transformation, they needed enough dragon power. That meant absorbing Spirit Rings from True Dragons or sub dragon Earth Dragons.
In an ideal world, it would naturally be best to absorb True Dragon Spirit Rings. But pure dragons were far too rare, and even harder to hunt. In the end, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could only settle for the next best option and attach Spirit Rings from sub dragon species.
For example, among Yu Tianlin's 4 Spirit Rings, 3 came from the Swift Lightning Dragon, the Thunderous Sonic Dragon, and the Thunderous Savage Dragon. They all had the word "dragon" in their names, but unfortunately, they were all sub dragon species. The dragon power they provided was low grade.
That meant Yu Tianlin carried a large amount of low level dragon power within him. Low level dragon power was filled with impurities, and those impurities lowered his overall quality in many aspects.
Because everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was the same, no one had ever truly noticed the negative impact.
Even if someone did notice, it would not help. To solve this problem, one would have to absorb pure dragon Spirit Rings from the 1st to the 9th ring, without even a single ring coming from a sub dragon. The moment one Spirit Ring came from a sub dragon, the entire body would be contaminated by low grade dragon power, and purity would be lost.
Even if the elders who had entered Dragon Valley before had their bodies cleansed by dragon clouds and expelled the impurities from their low level dragon power, it would still be meaningless. Once they returned to Douluo Continent, they would still have to absorb Spirit Rings from sub dragon species.
There was no other way. To become a dragon, one needed dragon power, yet pure dragons were simply too hard to find.
But now, under the baptism of the blue purple dragon clouds, the impurities inside the low level dragon power within Yu Tianlin were being expelled again and again, becoming purer with every pass.
As his body grew lighter, Yu Tianlin's thoughts also became clearer.
"It seems that once I leave the Dragon Realm, I can no longer choose sub dragon species for my future Spirit Rings," Yu Tianlin murmured. "Unless it's a pure dragon Spirit Ring filled with high level dragon power, or a Spirit Ring that carries no dragon bloodline at all and contains no dragon power. As for impure sub dragon low level dragon power, I absolutely cannot touch it."
To replenish dragon power and strengthen their dragonification, Spirit Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had always relied on Spirit Rings from sub dragon species.
But things were different for Yu Tianlin now.
He had already found a place where dragon power overflowed, and what overflowed there was pure, high level dragon power. He could absorb dragon power directly to strengthen dragonification. He no longer needed to rely on Spirit Rings to supply it.
And so, Yu Tianlin continued roaming across the plains, searching for and absorbing blue purple lightning attribute dragon clouds.
Half a month later, he finally stopped.
He had discovered that the dragon clouds were no longer drawing impurities from his body, and the boost to his physical strength had become minimal.
Yu Tianlin had undergone a noticeable transformation.
In dragon form, his dragon scales looked far more refined and sharp. They carried a cold texture, and his entire body exuded a powerful, cutting aura. With all impurities expelled, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease, as if his whole being had been cleaned from the inside out.
"The dragon cloud can't improve me anymore."
After absorbing the final cloud, Yu Tianlin inspected his body and spoke softly.
"I've spent half a month on the plains. Next, I'll go straight into the forest and hunt dragon souls to charge the Dragon Slayer Blade. Then I'll push deep into the dragon cemetery at the very center and take those True Dragon Spirit Bones."
With his goal set, Yu Tianlin did not linger on the plains. Carrying the Dragon Slayer Blade, he headed toward the forest.
After half a month, he had gradually gotten used to the Dragon Slayer Blade's oppressive aura. Since it was not sharpened right now, carrying it was no problem.
He crossed the plains and stepped into the forest.
He had not even taken a few steps when a rustling sound came from ahead.
Soon, 5 dragon souls appeared in front of him.
They were only half a meter tall, without wings or horns. Their only notable feature was a set of sharp looking fangs. Clearly, they were low level Earth Dragons.
"What kind of Earth Dragon is this?"
Yu Tianlin did not recognize them at first glance.
Earth Dragons came in countless varieties. Dragons reproduced easily, and their bloodlines mixed in all sorts of ways. Even with his family's knowledge, he could not identify every Earth Dragon species.
True Dragons were different. There were only so many true bloodlines, and Yu Tianlin knew almost all of them.
As Yu Tianlin observed, the 5 Earth Dragon Souls surrounded him and lunged in to bite.
Yu Tianlin reacted instantly.
He entered full body dragon transformation, released an intense dragon might, and raised the Dragon Slayer Blade as if preparing to strike.
If he wanted the Dragon Slayer Blade to absorb dragon soul power, he had to personally cleave the dragon soul apart with the blade. Otherwise, even if the dragon soul was destroyed, the power would only be absorbed by the Spirit Master, not the Dragon Slayer Blade.
Just as the Dragon Slayer Blade was about to fall on the nearest Earth Dragon Soul, that Earth Dragon Soul suddenly trembled. Its lunging motion stopped abruptly, and it froze in place.
Why did it stop?
Yu Tianlin's eyes narrowed in surprise. He did not understand what had happened, but he did not pause.
He swung his blade down.
The Earth Dragon Soul let out a mournful cry. Its energy body shattered instantly, turning into streams of light that flowed straight into the Dragon Slayer Blade.
The moment the first Earth Dragon Soul was killed, the other 4 Earth Dragon Souls showed the exact same reaction. They trembled, then halted their attacks, all becoming strangely motionless.
Yu Tianlin frowned.
What is going on? Why did these Earth Dragon Souls suddenly stop attacking me? There was nothing like this in the clan's records.
Staring at the remaining 4 Earth Dragon Souls, Yu Tianlin felt genuine confusion rise in his chest.
