Chapter 7 Springtime on Earth! The Eye of the Azure Dragon!
The next instant, he was already standing in front of the Azure Dragon's head.
The long sword swept horizontally.
With a flash of light, a deep, bone-revealing wound was slashed open on the dragon's neck.
Blood gushed out, staining the valley's grasslands red.
The Azure Dragon let out a dying roar, its body twisting wildly and its tail lashing erratically.
But Qing Zhengyue had already retreated to a safe distance, coldly watching it make its final struggle.
"Feng'er," the old man called out without turning his head, "come here and finish her off."
Qing Mufeng took a deep breath and ran over.
The Azure Dragon is not dead yet, but it has lost the ability to resist.
Its vertical pupils were filled with fear and resentment as it stared intently at the child walking towards it.
Qing Mufeng stood in front of the dragon's head and raised his dragon-transformed right claw.
"I'm sorry," he said softly.
The dragon claw pierced the head of the Azure Spirit Dragon.
The dragon's body convulsed violently a few times, then finally stopped moving.
Qing Mufeng withdrew his dragon claws, took two steps back, and looked at the giant dragon corpse at his feet.
This was the first time he had personally killed a soul beast.
It wasn't a finishing blow, it was the end.
He couldn't explain how he felt.
There was no excitement, no fear, only a calm exhaustion.
"Well done," Qing Zhengyue's voice rang out from behind.
The old man walked over and patted his grandson on the shoulder.
"Absorb the spirit ring," he said. "The second ring, sixteen hundred years."
Qing Mufeng nodded and sat down cross-legged beside the dragon corpse.
Liu Yunlan walked over quickly, squatted down next to her grandson, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the dirt and blood off his face.
"Are you tired?" the old lady asked softly.
"A little," Qing Mufeng answered honestly.
"Then let's rest for a bit," Liu Yunlan said. "There's no rush."
Qing Mufeng shook his head.
"No need, Grandma. I'll absorb it now."
He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
A purple soul ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Azure Dragon.
A thousand-year-old soul ring.
Purple.
It's double the eight hundred years of soul rings Grandpa mentioned.
The spirit ring floated towards him and slowly disappeared into his body.
......
The moment it entered my body, excruciating pain struck.
It wasn't the pain of the first spirit ring, but rather like a red-hot iron spike piercing straight from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.
Sixteen hundred years of soul power surged into his meridians like a flood, frantically impacting every inch of the meridian walls.
Qing Mufeng gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
The Azure Dragon Martial Soul within him awakened at that moment.
Instead of giving it a cold glance like last time, it let out a silent roar.
Golden light surged from the depths of the martial soul, spreading along the meridians and enveloping the violent purple soul ring.
The rebellion of spirit rings was suppressed inch by inch.
But this process was several times more painful than the last one.
Qing Mufeng's body began to tremble, and a fine layer of blood beads seeped from the surface of his skin.
Liu Yunlan gripped the short dagger tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Qing Zhengyue stood to the side, his long sword held horizontally in front of him, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding woods, wary of other soul beasts that might be attracted by the smell of blood.
But his ears were always listening to his grandson's breathing.
Take a breath.
Ten breaths.
One hundred breaths.
Qing Mufeng's breathing gradually became steady after it had been rapid.
The blood beads on his body stopped seeping out, and his trembling gradually subsided.
After about two incense sticks' worth of time, he opened his eyes.
Golden vertical pupils.
It was more intense and more dazzling than last time.
He looked down at his hands and clenched his fists.
Inside his body, two spirit rings slowly rotated.
One is deep yellow, and the other is purple.
Soul Power Level 26!
From level 20 to level 26.
It spanned a full six levels.
Qing Mufeng stood up, feeling the surging power within his body.
His first spirit ring was the Azure Dragon Claw and the Azure Dragon Armor.
What will his second spirit ring be?
With a thought, his purple soul ring lit up.
A warm power surged from the spirit ring, permeating his entire body.
He raised his right hand, and a faint green light appeared on his palm.
That light was full of the breath of life.
As Qing Mufeng looked at the green light in his palm, information from his inherited memories surfaced in his mind.
The second soul skill!
Spring returns to the earth.
Treatment within the affected area.
Teammates within the range continuously recover from injuries, soul power, physical strength, and mental strength.
The plants within the area are growing wildly.
Qing Mufeng pressed his palm to the ground.
Green light seeped from his palm into the soil, spreading outwards from him.
The grass on the lawn grew wildly at a visible rate, from ankle height to knee height.
A few wildflowers bloomed in the grass, their petals still glistening with dew.
Liu Yunlan squatted down, looked at the wildly growing flowers and plants, and reached out to touch the petals. The old lady's eyes reddened again.
"This child..." she choked up as she said, "This child is a gift from God to the Qing family."
Qing Zhengyue didn't speak, but just looked at his grandson with a deep and distant gaze.
Within Qing Mufeng's body, his second innate divine power also awakened at this moment.
The golden light in his eyes intensified.
Something was gathering deep within the pupil.
He looked up at a tree in the distance.
Then, he saw it.
Inside the trunk of that tree, a beetle was gnawing on the wood.
He saw clearly.
Even the details of how the beetle's mouthparts tear the wood fibers are clearly visible.
The Eye of the Azure Dragon.
Insight.
Qing Mufeng withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.
First Soul Ring: Azure Dragon Claw + Azure Dragon Armor.
Second Soul Ring: Spring Returns to Earth + Azure Dragon's Eye.
According to the current system of "one ring, one superpower".
Reaching the Title Douluo level guarantees at least nine divine abilities.
He has taken another step closer to becoming the real Azure Dragon.
.....
When Qing Mufeng opened his eyes, it was already dark.
The nights in the Star Dou Great Forest are more dangerous than the days. Various soul beasts become active, and low roars and rustling sounds can be heard from time to time in the darkness.
Qing Zhengyue did not choose to travel overnight.
The old man found a natural stone cave near the valley. The entrance was narrow, allowing only one person to pass through sideways, but the interior was about three zhang square.
He made several cuts on the rock wall at the cave entrance to widen it, and then moved several large stones to block most of it, leaving only a gap for ventilation.
Liu Yunlan laid a layer of dry grass inside the cave, and then took out dry food and a water bag from her cloth bag.
"Feng'er, come and have something to eat," the old lady called to her grandson.
Qing Mufeng sat on the withered grass, took the dry food handed to him by his grandmother, and ate it in small bites.
He was still very tired.
Absorbing a 1,600-year-old soul ring was a huge test for his six-year-old body.
Although the Azure Dragon bloodline helped him suppress the riot of the soul rings, his meridians were still damaged in the impact and need time to repair.
Liu Yunlan sat beside him, one hand on his pulse, the old lady's brows furrowed slightly.
"My meridians are somewhat damaged," she said. "I need to recuperate for a while after I get back, and I can't absorb any more soul rings."
Qing Mufeng nodded.
He hadn't planned to be in a hurry to absorb the next soul ring.
He has already used up his advantage of being at level 20 innately. Next, he needs to cultivate step by step from level 26 to level 30, which will take time.
Qing Zhengyue sat at the cave entrance, leaning against the stone wall, his long sword across his knees, his gaze fixed on the darkness outside through the cracks in the stone.
