Douluo Continent, my martial soul is the Silver Dragon King.

Upon entering Sword City, Lu Chen did not continue his journey but decided to rest and recuperate in the city. Continuing forward would lead him directly into the Star Dou Great Forest, where there would be no more supplies.

Sword City is larger than Gengxin City, with shops lining the streets selling all sorts of things. There are shops that specialize in weapons, armor, antidotes and recovery potions, and even clothing shops that sell outfits with a dozen or so pockets, big enough to hold a lot of odds and ends, perfect for Soul Masters on their adventures.

Lu Chen curiously observed his surroundings, which were completely different from the world 20,000 years later.

Especially in this era, when the spirit beast community is thriving, many "spiritual objects" and "medicinal herbs" that would be fought over by various small forces in later generations are incredibly cheap.

Lu Chen bought a hundred-year-old Ice Crystal Fruit, a hundred-year-old Crimson Flame Fruit, and ten drops of hundred-year-old dragon soul beast blood from a herbal medicine shop.

In total, it only costs ten gold soul coins. If this were during the Dragon King era, these would be priceless treasures!

After circling around a few more times, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It's true what they say: 'Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water!'"

"snort!"

Gu Yuena's cool voice echoed in Lu Chen's mind.

"What do you mean by 'living off the mountains' or 'living off the water'? It's just that humans have spontaneously surrounded the Starry Sky Forest!"

After being surrounded for 20,000 years, the Starry Forest, which was originally the same size as the Kingdom of Barak, was reduced to just the Lake of Life, a tiny piece of land!

What do you humans take us soul beasts for?

Animal ore?

This time, for the first time in a long while, Lu Chen remained silent.

Perhaps because of Lu Chen's silence, Gu Yuena felt a strange unease.

"What's wrong? Lu Chen, you're afraid to speak?"

Lu Chen frowned and said, "I never expected that the Silver Dragon King, who possesses extraordinary wisdom, would say such things to a mere human like me."

Gu Yuena's disdainful voice rang out: "Oh? You consider yourself a mere human? Your soul doesn't belong to this era."

Lu Chen helplessly spread his hands and said, "I am indeed not a tiny human."

"On the contrary, mine is huge!" Lu Chen raised his head, the light shining on his proud and smug face. "You'll know how big I am when we go to sleep tonight."

"Shameless humans!"

Gu Yuena's angry voice, sounding like she was gritting her teeth, rang out, but she fell silent afterward.

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.

His relationship with the Silver Dragon King is currently quite delicate, especially when it comes to topics related to humans and soul beasts.

Although he also disapproved of the days when soul beasts were slaughtered at will by human soul masters, he was still human. No matter how many wrong things humans did to soul beasts, if it came to a confrontation between all humans and soul beasts, he would still stand on the side of humans.

The current situation is that the Silver Dragon King has become his martial soul for some unknown reason. Unless something unexpected happens, a soul master's martial soul accompanies them throughout their life.

In this situation, harmonious coexistence is the most important thing. Unless there are special circumstances, Lu Chen is unwilling to forcibly withdraw his martial soul.

When the topic of conflict between the two of them just now arose, he could only try to divert attention from the core issue by telling dirty jokes.

Lu Chen sighed, "Let's just take it one step at a time..."

That night, Lu Chen found a hotel to stay in.

He set up a level-two soundproof shield in his room, then set up a mechanism, and finally took out the spiritual items from his soul guide storage device.

In the era of the Dragon King Legend, Tang Wulin used these three spiritual objects to cultivate the "Ice and Fire True Body".

This is a simple way to improve one's physical attributes; even ordinary Soul Masters can use this method to improve, it's not exclusive to the Golden Dragon King.

However, some changes need to be made regarding the spiritual objects.

For example, given that Tang Wulin has the Golden Dragon King, among the spiritual items he needs for body tempering, the ten drops of hundred-year-old dragon-type soul beasts require earth dragons and other dragon-type soul beasts that focus on strength and defense.

For Lu Chen, his range of choices is much wider; he can use the blood of any dragon-type soul beast that involves elements.

When Tang Wulin used this method to improve his physical fitness, he was in excruciating pain. At that time, Tang Wulin was at level eleven.

Lu Chen's current soul power level is level 20, and he has also been blacksmithing for many years. In fact, Lu Chen would find it easier to cultivate this body tempering method.

Lu Chen took out a glass, put two spirit fruits into it, quickly poured in dragon blood, and then sealed the container.

As you can see, the three spiritual substances are boiling inside the glass. A series of soft popping sounds begin to echo inside the glass, and the glass suddenly turns bright red and scalding hot. Then, the red color disappears from the glass, replaced by a layer of frost.

Ice and fire are incompatible. When the Crimson Flame Fruit and the Ice Crystal Fruit are placed together in a small container, they naturally create a strong repulsion, and one can even faintly hear the roar of a dragon echoing within.

The explosions grew louder and louder, and Lu Chen could feel a tremendous force about to explode.

However, because the glass was of very good quality, it did not explode for a long time. Instead, the popping sounds gradually subsided, and the two colors that had been appearing and disappearing in the glass gradually quieted down.

Lu Chen opened the glass, and a strange, overwhelming smell of blood wafted out. The glass contained a deep purple liquid that looked exactly like a bubbling swamp.

Just as Lu Chen was struggling with the decision regarding the drug, Gu Yuena's icy voice came: "Lu Chen, are you really going to drink this?"

Lu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Can I take this to mean that the great Silver Dragon King is concerned about a nobody like me?"

Gu Yuena snorted, "If you want to die, then die. Don't drag me down with you."

Lu Chen's eyes flickered. "It's just a drink that doesn't taste very good, nothing to worry about."

After saying that, Lu Chen frowned, closed his eyes, raised the cup, and drank the liquid in one gulp.

The warmth instantly spread throughout Lu Chen's body, giving him an indescribable feeling of comfort.

Lu Chen decisively sat down cross-legged, focused his mind, meditated, and circulated his soul power, hoping to use it to catalyze the effects of the medicine.

Suddenly, an indescribable strange sensation emanated from within his body. Lu Chen's body alternated between ice and heat, and his skin constantly changed between fiery red and bluish-white, eventually becoming half fiery red and half icy white!

The alternating hot and cold temperatures caused Lu Chen's clothes to shred and turn into powder, scattering from his body.

"I didn't expect it to be so big..."

A barely audible sound of surprise flashed by and disappeared in an instant.

Lu Chen naturally couldn't hear the sound; he just felt like his body didn't belong to him.
