Chapter 18 The Silver Dragon Returns! Gu Yuena's Injuries Healed!
As the successor of the Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong understood better than anyone what the words "Dragon God" meant.
That was once the strongest ruler of the divine realm!
Even if it was only half a body, its strength was definitely above that of an ordinary first-level god.
Damn it!
Bibi Dong slammed her hand on the armrest, her stunningly beautiful face filled with solemnity.
"I originally thought that apart from the two great empires and a few major sects, there was no other threat in the Douluo Continent."
"I never imagined that such a great Buddha was hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"If this Silver Dragon King were to lead the soul beast race out of the forest..."
Bibi Dong dared not think any further.
The situation was already chaotic enough.
There was Navelette in Tianshui City, whose depths were unfathomable.
There was Tang San on Poseidon Island, inheriting a divine position.
Now another Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, had appeared!
"The sky revealed her location..."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"We need to speed things up."
"Whether it's for the Rakshasa godhood or for the Martial Soul Empire."
"We must take Tianshui City!"
...
Poseidon Island.
The golden beam of light gradually dissipated.
Tang San hovered in mid-air, and behind him, the enormous phantom of the Sea God slowly merged into his body.
By this time, he had been completely transformed.
He was covered in blue and gold armor, holding the Poseidon Trident, which weighed 108,000 jin.
Because of the level 100 soul power awarded by the Golden List, he passed the final test with almost no obstacles.
Sea God, Tang San!
"Is this what it feels like to reach level 100 and become a god?"
Tang San clenched his fist, feeling the world-shaking power within him.
The gloom of the past had completely dissipated at this moment.
He raised his head, his blue eyes gleaming with confidence.
His gaze fell upon the golden list.
Tang San couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Since it's a soul beast, that makes things easier."
In his understanding, soul beasts were creatures that could be easily controlled as long as one was strong enough or skillful enough.
Whether it was the 100,000-year-old Xiao Wu, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, or even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
In the end, they all became his spirit rings and spirit bones—stepping stones on his path to godhood.
"Gu Yuena..."
Tang San licked his lips, a calculating glint in his eyes.
"If I use a few tricks, I might be able to turn this Silver Dragon King into my ally."
"At that time, let her deal with the Spirit Hall and drain Navelette's strength."
Thinking of this, Tang San's initial eagerness to rush to Tianshui City suddenly lessened.
He thought of Xiao Wu.
The girl who sacrificed herself for him was now suffering in Tianshui City.
Logically, the first thing he should have done after becoming a god was to immediately save her.
But now...
Tang San hesitated.
"Although Xiao Wu is currently captured, she should be out of danger."
"Naviette will surely spare her life."
"After all, she is a 100,000-year-old soul beast—extremely valuable. Moreover, I have a connection with Xiao Wu, and she is not in immediate danger."
Tang San secretly made plans in his mind.
"If I go to rescue her now, I would just be adding another helper."
"But if..."
"If Xiao Wu suffers more in Tianshui City, or even..."
Tang San's eyes grew deeper.
If Xiao Wu could sacrifice herself again at a crucial moment, or for him as the Sea God, the power that would erupt—and the stability it would bring to his divine position—would be unimaginable.
They could even use this as an excuse to fully unleash the killing power of his Asura God side!
"Xiao Wu, you will understand me."
"For the peace of the Douluo Continent, and to completely eradicate the malignant tumor that is the Spirit Hall."
"This sacrifice is worthwhile."
Tang San found a perfect reason for himself.
He turned around and, instead of flying toward Tianshui City, he looked in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Since there's no rush to go to Tianshui City, why not go meet this Silver Dragon King first?"
"Soul beasts are always easy to fool."
A confident smile appeared on Tang San's lips.
"As long as I reason with her and appeal to her emotions, Gu Yuena will eventually become a weapon in my hands, Tang San."
...
Tianshui City, City Lord's Mansion.
The temperature in the bedroom remained scorching.
Navelette naturally heard the commotion outside regarding the "Silver Dragon Spear" and "Gu Yuena."
But he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
To him, it was not as important as a strand of Xue Di's hair in his arms.
"Xue'er."
Navelette reached out and grasped Snow Empress's restless hand, his voice slightly hoarse.
At this moment, Xue Di was already infatuated and dazed.
Where was the trace of the aloof ruler of the far north in her icy blue eyes?
All that remained was boundless tenderness.
"Navilette…"
She murmured softly, like a docile kitten, and moved closer.
"Don't worry about what's outside."
"I only want you..."
Navelette smiled slightly and held her even tighter.
"As you wish."
...
Above the sky, the golden list continued to roll.
The golden light that had been resting on the words "Silver Dragon Spear" surged once again.
It did not take long.
The reward for fifth place cascaded down like a waterfall.
Lines of large, gilded characters were deeply imprinted in the eyes of everyone looking up.
[Fifth Place Reward: Upgrade of Silver Dragon Spear quality!]
[Special Blessing: Cleanses all external divine power, restores the origin, and reshapes the divine body!]
The moment these words appeared, a pure white beam of light containing supreme laws ignored spatial distance and pierced directly through the barrier above the Star Dou Great Forest.
It descended straight onto the suspended silver spear, enveloping Gu Yuena below.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
A piercing, corrosive sound came from within the beam of light.
Immediately afterward, wisps of dark red mist—like snow melting under intense sunlight—were forcibly expelled from Gu Yuena's body.
That was the sword energy left behind by the Asura God within her body.
It was also the culprit that had tormented her for countless years, forcing her into deep sleep to heal her injuries.
These terrifying divine powers, which once caused her unbearable pain, were now incredibly fragile under the brilliance of the Golden List.
They failed to resist for even a moment before completely vanishing from the world.
Above the Lake of Life.
The light faded.
Gu Yuena remained barefoot, suspended in the air.
This time, however, her aura was different.
Her foundation, previously weakened by lingering injuries, had now become as unfathomable as an abyss.
Gu Yuena gripped the newly upgraded Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, feeling the surging power of the Dragon God within her. A rare look of bewilderment appeared in her purple eyes.
"...That's it?"
