Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 586 Granting Ma Xiaotao a Dragon Martial Soul
They arrived at the Sea God Pavilion, but no one noticed them. Even when Zhang Lexuan made a sound, no one could hear or see her.

This gave Zhang Lexuan an overwhelming sense of shock; it was hard to believe that someone could be so powerful as to move freely even through the Sea God Pavilion.

They came silently, bringing her, a weak Soul Master, with them, and still weren't discovered by the Shrek Academy's experts. She couldn't even imagine how strong they were.

Shi Yu brought Zhang Lexuan to the clouds, allowing him to walk on flat ground in the air, with spatial power supporting her beneath his feet.

"Now that you've witnessed my strength, are you willing to become my disciple?" Shi Yu asked with a smile.

"Why did you take me as your apprentice?" Zhang Lexuan asked, mustering her courage.

The man in front of her was terrifyingly strong. He had taken her as his disciple out of nowhere, which made her feel that he had ulterior motives. But what did she have that he would want from her?
"Isn't accepting a disciple all about first impressions and the disciple's talent?"

"Compared to valuing talent, I value chemistry more. I felt a connection with you, so I wanted to take you as my disciple. It's that simple," Shi Yu said.

Zhang Lexuan didn't ask any more questions and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Shi Yu to become his disciple.

Shi Yu stopped her, skipping all the formalities.

"Now that you have become my disciple, I will give you two gifts."

As Shi Yu spoke, he gave Zhang Lexuan a spirit, which was also level 98 and could protect her well.

He remembered that Zhang Lexuan would face the danger of a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the future, so it was necessary for her to have a strong person protecting her.

In addition to protecting Zhang Lexuan, it is also necessary to cleanse her marrow and bones to improve her talent.

He brought Zhang Lexuan to the Dragon Valley of the Dead, intending to use rare and precious materials to evolve her martial spirit.

At the same time, he will give Zhang Lexuan a more powerful second martial soul; he will not treat Zhang Lexuan unfairly, just as Jiang Nannan has.

He briefly explained the situation to Zhang Lexuan and then began to operate.

They used even more precious natural treasures to help Zhang Lexuan improve her qualifications.

This is also because Zhang Lexuan is now older and her plasticity has decreased, so she needs better natural treasures to help her cleanse her marrow and strengthen her bones.

As for the martial spirit he wanted to bestow upon Zhang Lexuan, he chose Space.

During his past transmigrations, he seized a first-level divine artifact from a first-level space-type god in the Moyang star system. He planned to integrate this artifact into Zhang Lexuan's body, making it her second martial soul.

It's like having an extra space-type weapon spirit in the future, and once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can activate this first-level divine artifact for combat.

It was also very troublesome to operate, and he put in a lot of effort to succeed.

Zhang Lexuan felt refreshed. When she released her martial soul, the original Moon Martial Soul had undergone a significant change in appearance. It became larger and brighter, radiating a cool and divine glow.

The martial soul is still the moon, but this moon is not the same as that moon, just like how the same dragon martial soul can be classified in vastly different ways.

Her martial soul was previously at the top level, close to the limit but not the limit.

Now it is a top-tier ultimate martial soul, even purer than Jiang Nannan's Jade Rabbit martial soul.

This martial soul can definitely be considered a god-level martial soul, comparable to the Angel God martial soul and the Sea God martial soul from ten thousand years ago.

Moreover, it's a fully activated god-level martial soul, with extraordinary power.

The second martial soul is called Space Mirror, which emits strong spatial fluctuations.

This martial soul is also at the level of a first-level god, with extreme spatial attributes. Just based on this martial soul alone, Zhang Lexuan has the potential to become a god.

"Thank you, teacher." After witnessing the changes in herself, Zhang Lexuan's gratitude towards Shi Yu was palpable.

Shi Yu smiled, gave her some instructions, and then left.

Shi Yu returned to the normal timeline. This time, he didn't rush to see Zhang Lexuan's changes, but instead, after resting, he traveled through time again. Since he had already helped Jiang Nannan and Zhang Lexuan improve their talents, Ma Xiaotao naturally couldn't be left untouched.

This time, he went to a timeline when Ma Xiaotao was exactly six years old and had awakened her martial soul.

Ma Xiaotao had told him about some of her childhood experiences, so he knew quite a bit about her.

With his spatial abilities and spiritual perception, he easily located Ma Xiaotao and took her away, even though she had just awakened her martial spirit.

She subtly revealed her strength, which made Ma Xiaotao look at her with admiration and readily agree to become her disciple.

The next step was the standard procedure: Ma Xiaotao was given a spirit that could protect her at any time, and then her marrow was cleansed and her bones were refined.

When he was cleansing Ma Xiaotao's marrow and bones, in addition to using rare and precious herbs, he also used a drop of his own essence blood.

This drop of essence is the blood of a phoenix, nurtured from the phoenix bloodline he obtained.

Ma Xiaotao possesses the Phoenix Martial Soul, so this drop of blood will definitely be of great use to her.

With the addition of rare and precious materials and this drop of blood, he not only solved Ma Xiaotao's problem of evil fire, but also evolved her Phoenix Martial Soul to an extremely high level.

As for the second martial soul bestowed upon Ma Xiaotao, he did not choose time or space.

These two attributes are top-tier; just pair them without thinking.

However, compared to these two attributes, he felt that giving Ma Xiaotao a dragon martial soul might be more appropriate.

Ma Xiaotao already possesses a phoenix martial soul; if she were to acquire a dragon-type martial soul as well, it would be a perfect union of dragon and phoenix.

With the dragon and phoenix appearing, Ma Xiaotao might be able to develop another self-fusion martial soul skill, a fusion of dragon and phoenix, whose power would be extraordinary.

He himself possesses both the bloodlines of the phoenix and the dragon god, and is well aware that these two bloodlines are connected in some way.

He himself is almost able to figure out the self-fusion technique of martial soul.

It is a martial soul fusion skill that combines the bloodlines of the first-generation phoenix and the dragon god, so the difficulty of this fusion is naturally the highest level.

He can share his experience in this area with Ma Xiaotao later to help her figure it out.

After careful consideration, he made up his mind to give Ma Xiaotao a dragon-type martial soul.

The dragon she chose was a fire dragon that was somewhat compatible with her Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

Actually, pairing it with Ice Dragon might be even more effective after figuring out its own martial soul fusion skill.

The more a property is rejected, the more likely it is to fuse into an extraordinary power.

It's like the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where two completely opposite attributes merge to create a treasure land that can nurture numerous rare and precious materials.

However, considering Ma Xiaotao's ability to control these two completely opposite power attributes, they gave up.

He was able to harmonize these two attributes because of his resilient body and the power of time and space, which Ma Xiaotao did not possess.

These two diametrically opposed attributes, when bestowed upon her, will most likely cause her to feel disappointed and repulsed by the power early on.

So they settled for the same attribute.

This fire dragon bloodline comes from the fire dragon king's bloodline in the Dragon Valley world. It is a descendant of the fire dragon king, but due to its strength, it cannot be called a king.

In reality, this fire dragon is vastly different from the fire dragon in the conventional sense, and they cannot be confused.
