In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 59 The Target of the Second Soul Ring

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded slightly, then seemed to suddenly remember something and changed the subject:

"Hey, Wang Zhao, you've reached level 20 in no time! Have you decided on your goal for your second spirit ring?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao smiled slightly.

"I've already thought it through~"

"However, there are no clues yet, and Jinlin is still asleep, so I can wait a little longer to let things settle down."

Bibi Dong understood, and then looked at Die.

Wang Zhao's meticulousness was something she was used to. If she were to ask someone for help in finding clues about the soul beast, aside from Wang Zhao herself who was very busy lately, the only other person she could ask would be her sister, Butterfly.

"Xiaodie, how's the situation? Do I need to use the Spirit Hall's manpower for help?"

Now, she is the rightful Pope of the Spirit Hall, and many people will respond to her order to mobilize manpower to find spirit beasts.

Butterfly paused for a moment, then nodded.

There was no other way; the soul beasts that Wang Zhao sought out were all too strange and too rare.

For the first time, an auspicious beast possessing the bloodline of a white dragon appeared: the Cloud White Python.

This time, what he's looking for is actually...

"A jade-scaled, golden-eyed dragon?!"

After listening to Die describe the details to her, Bibi Dong couldn't help but be a little surprised, and quickly added her own interpretation:

"What is its relationship with the Jade Scale Snake?"

Wang Zhao smiled and began to explain.

"It is a mutant of the Jade Scale Snake."

"If the evolutionary stages of ordinary Azure Scale Serpent Soul Beasts are to become a King in five thousand years and an Emperor in fifty thousand years, then the Azure Scale Golden-Eyed Flood Dragon has broken away from this growth path."

"According to ancient records, when the Azure Scale Serpent transforms into a king after five thousand years, there is a very small chance that it will undergo a mutation similar to atavism, evolving into a high-quality Azure Scale Golden-Eyed Dragon, and awakening the bloodline of the dragon within its body."

"At that time, the terrifying toxins of the Azure Scale Serpent will change and continue to exist in the form of 'poisonous light.' Simply put, the Azure Scale Golden-Eyed Flood Dragon has actually changed from its original poison attribute to light attribute, but when it uses 'light' methods, the energy will still have poisonous properties."

"However, it is a pity that because this kind of soul beast combines yin and yang, which is quite heaven-defying, there is still no record of it growing to a cultivation level of ten thousand years."

"I see."

Bibi Dong nodded, her gaze towards Wang Zhao now habitually carrying a strange look.

This kid seems to know everything...

Mingming had just spent a year in the library.

Why didn't she become like this back then? She was clearly very hardworking, wasn't she?

Regardless of how Bibi Dongzheng was questioning her life, Wang Zhao silently lowered his head, suddenly having a preliminary and complete plan for choosing his remaining spirit rings—

He planned to choose high-quality spirit beasts for the rest of his spirit rings. These beasts possessed strong light attributes and could be used to draw parallels with other spirit beasts.

The former is to ensure the steady improvement and development of the light attribute energy source within the golden scales.

As for the latter...

Wang Zhao wanted Jin Lin to have a more distant future!

That's right, from the very beginning, he never intended for Jinlin to die on the path of "light".

The Holy Dragon of Light, after all, has its limits.

If possible, he would prefer that the golden scales become the "Dragon of Light".

What's the difference between the two?

Judging by the name alone, the latter seems to be less sophisticated than the former.

However, in Wang Zhao's view, the former is just light, just like darkness. This kind of two-word Douluo attribute is actually not good.

The latter path, however, is much broader.

Light--

Poisonous light is light, firelight is light, cold light is light, even the light of life, the light of death...

Even spacetime, the light of chaos!

These are all light, right?

This is the difference between single-character attributes and double-character attributes. Just like comparing the individual fire and earth attributes with the combined lava attribute, the former two may be slightly inferior to the latter in the short term, but their future prospects are definitely wider.

Wang Zhao vaguely remembered that in the Three Spoons Universe, there seemed to be a character who combined the attributes of light and necromancy...

Thinking about it, Wang Zhao turned his attention back to the golden scales themselves.

To be honest, the Douluo world may not actually have that many powerful and rare dragon soul beasts that possess both the attribute of light and other "characteristics".

Even the existence of the Azure Scale Golden-Eyed Flood Dragon was something he discovered by chance when he spent a long time searching in the library and was planning to plot against Dugu Bo and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

So...

If Wang Zhao had no access to the immortal herb and wanted to pursue pure self-study and gradually defy fate, he would inevitably have to face the choice between "light" and "dragon".

However, without a powerful and profound "dragon" as a foundation, given the state of Golden Scales, it is likely that "light" will not go far, and may even end up being flashy but not profound, worse than the pure Holy Dragon of Light.

Fortunately, this is just a hypothetical situation.

After taking Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Once the golden carp completes its metamorphosis and awakens, it will be time for the winds of change to rise to the top!

The morning passed quickly.

Bibi Dong didn't stay with Die and Wang Zhao for long before heading to the Papal Palace. After all, as the new Pope, there were many things to rebuild and many matters that required her personal attention.

After eating the porridge cooked by Sister Butterfly and completing her usual cultivation and training tasks, Wang Zhao planned to go to the library.

But then Butterfly suddenly stopped him, tugged at a strand of his silver hair, gently waved it in front of him, and said calmly:

"You look different now than before. You'll easily become the center of attention when you go outside, not to mention that there are more or less people in the library who remember you. Your changes will likely attract their attention and even the attention of their families."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao nodded in understanding.

He still hadn't gotten used to the changes in himself, which is why he didn't notice this.

Standing before a mirror, Wang Zhao pondered for a moment, then returned to his room to change into a large black cloak. He pulled up the hood to conceal his striking silver hair, then stood before the mirror again, carefully examining himself before saying:

"That should seem much more normal, right?"

Anyway, he used to be a cute little boy, and in the past few days, although he went to the library as usual, he didn't have much contact with anyone other than Qian Renxue. Even if they met once, it was probably just a fleeting thought in their minds.

After all, everyone in the world is busy, and unless you stand out too much from the crowd, basically no one will have time to pay much attention to anyone else.

Now, even if he suddenly becomes a bit taller, a bit more handsome, a bit fairer...

Even if someone asks about it later, just attribute it to the absorption of the first spirit ring.

This makes perfect sense; it's very Douluo Continent.

No, it isn't.

Thinking about it, Wang Zhao asked Sister Die beside him:

"How is it?"
