Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 90 "Red Dragon" Ignis

You Chen knew that once Bibi Dong found out that he had led his disciples out of the city, she would probably send people to hunt him down immediately.

If his whereabouts are found in a sparsely populated place like the Starry Sky Forest, there is a high chance that he will be imprisoned as a tool to threaten Qian Renxue in the future.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she never imagined that a control-type Soul King and two Soul Masters could not delay him for even a minute after discovering that he had left the city.

The biggest problem wasn't that he hadn't been delayed, but that it made it difficult to confirm his flight route, plus a crucial information gap—You Chen didn't actually need to bring a burden along.

The estimated flight distance will naturally differ greatly depending on whether the flight is with a passenger or a solo flight.

This makes tracking him extremely difficult.

Therefore, in order to make the most of this advantage, after getting out of the sight of the three people from the Spirit Hall, You Chen no longer suppressed his speed and began to fly at full speed.

Previously, it actually took more than a week to travel from the border of the Star Dou Great Forest to Notting City, but this time, even though it wasn't the shortest route, it took less than half a day to reach the destination.

A secluded village on the border of the Starry Sky Forest.

This is a temporary stronghold of the Soul Fighting Beasts within the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Through the Beast Master's communication, the Soul Beasts here also learned in advance when You Chen would arrive.

Upon seeing You Chen appear, all twenty-seven people immediately knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.

"Leader!" X27

The twenty-seven voices rang out almost in unison, which alone shows that a kind of "discipline" similar to strict military discipline already exists among these Soul Beasts.

You Chen looked at the twenty-seven young faces that had sworn their loyalty to him and nodded slightly.

These Soul Beasts were basically trained by him from childhood, and to this day, most of them are between 10 and 20 years old.

Boys and girls in this age group, let alone Soul Masters whose adolescence is extremely short, change every day.

In just one year, the number of Soul Masters, which was originally mainly composed of Great Soul Masters and only numbered in the single digits, has increased to the number of people in the double digits.

Of the twenty-seven people present, all were elites among the Soul Fighting Beasts. The seventeen Soul Venerables went without saying, the nine Great Soul Masters were also beings whose combat power rivaled that of Soul Venerables, and the last one...

At the age of 14, she reached level 40, becoming a Quasi-Soul Master! Now 15 years old, Ignis, a red-haired girl with a top-tier offensive beast spirit and fire dragon spirit, is nicknamed "Red Dragon"!

Even at only 15 years old, she already exudes the beauty of a mature woman, like a ripe peach.

Especially her smooth and beautiful red hair, like flowing tassels, was like a dancing flame.

No, compared to the flames, Ignis's red hair was far more dazzling and captivating.

Therefore, it is a "red dragon" and not a "fire dragon".

One can glimpse the breathtaking beauty of Ignis from her nickname.

However, contrary to her charming and beautiful appearance, Ignis was cold, loyal, and ruthless. This contrast only amplified her attractiveness to men.

When it comes to the "Dragon" martial spirit, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the "Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex", the number one beast martial spirit on the continent.

Compared to the many Soul Beasts purchased from auction houses, Ignis is one of the few Soul Beasts that joined the organization through other means.

However, Ignis and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family are not directly related.

Perhaps there is some connection through her long ancestral lineage, but at least for the last hundred years, she has no relation to that family.

After awakening its martial soul, like other soul beasts, due to the mutation of its bloodline, it was unable to suppress the alienation of its form. Two scarlet dragon horns grew on its forehead, and its skin was covered with cracked dragon scales.

Ignis, regarded as an omen of bad luck and taboo by her parents and villagers, discovered something amiss in her home by relying on the extraordinary sensory abilities of a dragon-type spirit beast. After overhearing her parents secretly and fearfully calling her a "monster," she fled the village before she could end up as an auction item like other creatures of her kind.

City life is not easy. Even if you hide your face with a hood, with a child's limited experience, you still can't escape being discovered by others.

Fortunately, even without the ability to attach a spirit ring, the mutated spirit is essentially in a state of constant spirit possession. Ignis's strength is no less than that of a one-ring spirit master with a top-tier spirit. In ordinary small cities, ordinary people are no match for her.

Despised by her parents and villagers, she was nearly captured and sold into slavery in the city...

Having barely escaped, Ignis no longer sees herself as "human" and develops a hatred for "humanity" from this moment on.

After discovering that she possessed "powerful" abilities, she naturally thought of rescuing her kind and gathering more companions.

Then, during a rescue of her compatriots, she attacked You Chen, the "slave owner"...

Once the "truth" was revealed, it became a natural thing for her to join the Soul Fighting Beasts.

Especially after witnessing You Chen reverse the Soul Fighting Beasts' inability to cultivate and his ability to autonomously control their past "mutated traits," which they had previously considered incomplete, they, like many other Soul Fighting Beasts, began to revere You Chen as their leader. (PS: The setting that Soul Fighting Beasts can autonomously control their beast-like traits has always existed, but I forgot to mention it because I had written so much about it... However, this can be inferred from the fact that Beast Masters can normally conduct intelligence work in Notting City.)

After witnessing You Chen's numerous methods and powerful abilities, and seeing that he truly led them, who were considered "orcs" and heretics, to a better life under the sun, Ignis gradually became convinced of his worth, acknowledging him as her master and regarding You Chen as the leader who could completely lead them, these "heretics," to break free from their current predicament and move towards a bright future.

"Ignis, next, we'll be hunting your fourth spirit ring. According to my calculations, after staying at level 40 for a year, using the 'Soul Power Borrowing Technique,' you'll be at least level 42 when absorbing the spirit ring. This time, the maximum age of the spirit ring you can hunt should reach 13,000 years. Our target this time is that 12,000-year-old Earth Fire Dragon. Theoretically... this spirit ring is completely within your tolerance range."

However, I cannot guarantee with absolute certainty that the effects of "Borrowing Soul Power" on ten-thousand-year-level soul rings will be exactly the same as before, until we conduct an actual experiment. Even if I sense that the soul ring has exceeded your tolerance limit and interrupt it in time, it may still cause you irreparable damage. Even so... you still don't intend to change your mind?"

"Yes, Chief."

Ignis lowered her head slightly and replied in a deep voice, "I am mentally prepared to offer you my heart."
