Yu Yuanzhen carried the Sharp Howl Dragon back, its entire body stark white and massive, its head even larger than the cab of a truck. Its red eyes were the size of half a door, and several rows of sharp teeth protruded from its mouth. Compared to its enormous head, its smaller body and tail were covered with spikes.
But now, the beast was charred black all over, its wings torn and limp like soggy noodles. Yu Yuanzhen dragged it along like hauling a massive corpse.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen return, Yu Tianming hurried out from the Sea Dragon Shuttle to greet him.
As they got closer, everyone noticed—the Sharp Howl Dragon was actually even larger than the Sea Dragon Shuttle itself. It was hard to believe this creature hadn't even reached the ten-thousand-year cultivation level.
Like a fisherman who just landed a prize catch, Yu Yuanzhen grinned and said to Yu Tianming, "This Sharp Howl Dragon seems to have mutated—much larger than others of its kind. Its roar was unusually powerful too. The soul skill it provides should be incredible."
Hearing this, Yu Tianming jumped onto the beast's massive head, thrusting an iron spear into its crimson eye. "I have to check if its soul ring has reached ten thousand years before I decide whether to absorb it."
As he stirred the spear, a deep purple soul ring emerged above the dragon's head.
Yu Tianming let out a breath of relief. If it really had a ten-thousand-year soul ring, I wouldn't dare absorb it. Thousand-year rings are a bit weaker, but much safer. If I want to upgrade my rings later, I can always try Sea God Island.
He then leapt back to the roof of the Sea Dragon Shuttle's cabin and sat cross-legged, guiding the soul ring toward himself with his soul power.
Two hours later, Yu Tianming opened his eyes.
In the far distance, a massive full moon had risen, casting a silver glow over the rolling waves of the sea.
Yu Yuanzhen, who had stayed nearby, asked, "What soul skill did you get?"
Yu Tianming smiled proudly. "Both of these thousand-year rings exceeded the normal limit by four thousand years. So now, I've reached level forty-six. As for the soul skill, Grandpa, your guess was spot on. It's similar to your sixth skill, Skybreaking Dragon Howl, but it has its own differences. I'd rather call it Dragon King's Roar."
Inside the cabin, Dugu Bo quietly gasped when he heard Yu Tianming's new level, shocked by his terrifying growth.
Yu Yuanzhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Come with me to those giant rocks over there. Try out the skill and let me see how it differs from mine."
The massive moon illuminated tall stone pillars in the distance, looking like towering buildings standing amidst the sea. The ocean waves crashed violently against the pillars, sending thunderous echoes through the night.
On one of the pillars, Yu Tianming's figure stood clearly in the moonlight. This time, his Martial Spirit Possession was different—realistic dragon scales now covered his arms, chest, and head, giving him a fully dragon-like appearance.
In the Douluo Continent, beast soul masters using Martial Spirit Possession typically transformed into half-beast forms—like Su Yuntao's furry werewolf or Dai Mubai's clawed tiger-man.
For convenience or aesthetics, soul masters often only partially beastified—like Zhu Zhuqing, who only grew cat ears and a tail, or the fish-type soul masters from Tianshui Academy, who just got scales without a tail.
But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was different. Their dragonification was a kind of second-stage beast transformation, greatly enhancing all attributes. Each part of the body that transformed granted a dragonification soul skill, which is why their clan claimed the strongest beast soul title.
Soul masters with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit would, starting from level thirty, gain one dragonified body part per soul ring. Once the limbs and head were fully transformed, they could truly become a dragon at level seventy.
But Yu Tianming's Martial Spirit wasn't exactly the same. His dragonification didn't happen limb by limb—it was symmetrical. At level thirty, his arms were already dragonified; by level forty, his head and chest followed.
Seeing how different he was from the typical Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but ask, "Do your dragonified soul skills differ from those of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?"
To his surprise, Yu Tianming replied, "I don't have any dragonification soul skills. My arm transformation back then only enhanced elemental control."
What? The heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had no dragonification soul skill? How could he be considered the strongest beast soul user without that?
Yu Yuanzhen immediately panicked. The first dragonification skill of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—Dragon's Wrath—could double both attack and lightning power. While Yu Tianming's bloodline was strong, without these soul skills, how could he compete in the future?
Seeing his grandfather's alarmed expression, Yu Tianming quickly explained, "Even without dragonification skills, the passive enhancements are massive—just as good as soul skills."
"My dragonified parts boost speed, attack, defense, recovery, and elemental power and control by nearly 100%. The head transformation even seems to enhance mental resistance. Back in the desert, I thought my arm boosts were soul skills, but now I know they were just passive buffs."
Only then did Yu Yuanzhen relax. "Good. As long as the boosts are significant, not having specific soul skills doesn't matter. Now use your new power and try attacking me."
With the boost from his first soul skill, Yu Tianming instantly appeared in front of Yu Yuanzhen, grabbing his shoulders with both hands.
Yu Yuanzhen didn't dodge, calmly crossing his arms in front of his chest, relying on his beast body's toughness—even without activating his Martial Spirit.
Yu Tianming then activated his skill—like Nezha with three heads and six arms, the two dragon heads beside his own suddenly extended forward. The three heads roared at once, aimed at Yu Yuanzhen from the front and both sides.
BOOM!
A radius of ten feet around them instantly crumbled into dust.
Even Yu Yuanzhen, without Martial Spirit Possession, started bleeding from the nose.
Rather than embarrassed that a Soul Ancestor had wounded him, Yu Yuanzhen looked puzzled yet excited. "Tianming, your skill is like that mutated Sharp Howl Dragon—its attacks are condensed within a limited area, and it causes significant mental and sonic damage. But I don't get it—why is your power so much stronger than the Sharp Howl Dragon's?"
Typically, soul skills gained from a soul ring were weaker at first than the beast's original power due to mastery, compatibility, and body adaptation.
Yu Tianming laughed, "Simple. That Sharp Howl Dragon only had one head. I've got three. I unleashed Dragon King's Roar three times in an instant."
