Chapter 76: The Awakened Silver Dragon King, Shana's Overbearing First Soul Skill

Lake of Life.

The lake shimmered, its surface rippling with light.

This was the true heart of the Lake of Life, a place where its secrets were unfathomable.

Even powerful Soul Beasts like the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python dared only to linger by the lakeside, guarding the entrance, never venturing into this forbidden territory.

At this moment, Di Tian transformed into a massive black dragon, exuding an aura of terrifying majesty as he slowly flew toward the central region of the Lake of Life.

Moonlight poured like water over the mysterious lake, and under its glow, a silver dragon quietly emerged.

Its body was slender and elegant, each scale shimmering with a soft light, arranged in perfect order, like a meticulously crafted work of art.

In stark contrast to Di Tian's ferocious appearance, the silver dragon radiated an innate beauty and nobility, as if no words in the world could fully capture its grace.

This silver dragon was none other than the Silver Dragon King.

Previously, she had been in a deep slumber, accumulating strength and healing her wounds.

However, today, a strange yet familiar divine aura, like a heavy hammer, jolted her awake from her slumber.

The cold and deathly aura that permeated the air was so intense, it was almost identical to the aura of the God of Death in her memory.

But she distinctly remembered that in the brutal Divine Realm War, the God of Death had already perished.

Even his Death Authority had been transferred by the God of Destruction to the Goddess of Life.

So, where did this aura come from?

Could it be that the followers of the God of Asura were plotting something in the shadows?

Seeing Di Tian return, the Silver Dragon King's melodious voice echoed through the quiet night sky: "Have the followers of Asura found their way here?"

Her voice carried a hint of vigilance and unease.

Di Tian quickly shook his head and respectfully replied, "My Queen, it is not the forces of the God of Asura. They are merely ordinary humans, but one of them carries that peculiar aura, exuding a chilling presence. It is truly bizarre."

Hearing this, the Silver Dragon King's body tensed instantly.

Humans? Carrying a divine aura?

A thought flashed through her mind.

Could they be inheritors of a God?

Although her own immense power made her unafraid of so-called Gods—after all, only a God King could pose a threat to her—her injuries were not yet fully healed, and her strength had not returned to its peak.

If she were to rashly clash with a God or their inheritor now, the aura released during the battle could very well attract the attention of other major Gods or even a God King from the Divine Realm.

If that happened, her plan to heal in secret would be ruined, and all her efforts would be in vain.

Seeing her reaction, Di Tian hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to speak: "My Queen, in my humble opinion, this person is likely not a follower of the God of Asura. He is probably just an ordinary human who happened upon some good fortune. I observed him carefully—he is quite old by human standards, and while his strength is decent among humans, it is still far from what is required to inherit a God's position."

Upon hearing Di Tian's analysis, the Silver Dragon King's tension gradually eased, but she still dared not let her guard down. She immediately issued an order, "From now on, let the Red King guard the gate."

Di Tian didn't hesitate for a moment and promptly acknowledged, "Yes, Your Majesty."

...

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's expedition this time was undoubtedly a fruitful one.

Not only did they capture a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Beast, but they also successfully promoted two Titled Douluos.

Wang Yaozu absorbed an 85,000-year Gale Demon Eagle, and with the remaining power of the Immortal Herb, his Soul Power reached level 92, earning him the title of Thunderbolt Douluo!

Chen Wei absorbed an 80,000-year White Armor Earth Dragon, and his Soul Power also reached level 92, earning him the title of Earth Douluo!

As the Sect Leader, Ning Fengzhi, relying on years of accumulation, absorbed a 60,000-year Soul Beast, and his Soul Power broke through to level 85.

The only regret was that none of the three Soul Beasts they absorbed dropped a Soul Bone.

Ning Fengzhi didn't fully disclose this news, only announcing that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had officially been renamed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After all, the Martial Soul couldn't be faked, and it would eventually be exposed unless Ning Fengzhi never used his Martial Soul in public again.

But was that possible?

Absolutely not.

So, after careful consideration, Ning Fengzhi decided to conceal the fact that Elder Wang and Elder Chen had broken through to become Titled Douluos.

After all, some powers were more effective when hidden than when displayed openly.

In other words, on the surface, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had only three Titled Douluos, but in reality, there were two more hidden.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

At the same time, in the Royal Hunting Grounds, Gu Feng led Shana out slowly.

Considering that Shana's first Soul Ring wouldn't require a high year count, Gu Feng directly requested a Hunting Permit from Xue Qinghe and then took Shana to the Royal Hunting Grounds to hunt for a Soul Ring.

Shana's previous Martial Soul was an ordinary mutated fox with a slight spiritual attribute, but it hadn't fully mutated.

However, after absorbing the Narcissus Jade Bone, as the medicinal power took effect, her Martial Soul fully formed.

Shana's current Martial Soul was the Spirit Fox, a spiritual-type fox Martial Soul, which was entirely different from the seductive fox.

The strength of the Spirit Fox lay in its ability to construct bizarre illusions, causing opponents to lose themselves between reality and fantasy.

Shana's first Soul Ring came from a 600-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox, and she obtained a perfectly compatible Soul Skill—the Spirit Fox Illusionary Prison Array.

Once this Soul Skill was activated, a Spirit Fox array with a diameter of twenty meters would instantly unfold.

If an enemy stepped into the array, as long as Shana's spiritual power was stronger than theirs, she could instantly take control of their thoughts and manipulate their actions at will for up to three minutes.

Of course, such a domineering Soul Skill also had obvious drawbacks.

While controlling the opponent, Shana's own body would fall into an unconscious state, and she could only use this skill once a day.

But even so, the role of this Soul Skill in actual combat should not be underestimated.

In the ever-changing battlefield, a few seconds of error could be the key to turning the tide of battle, let alone being controlled by the enemy for a full three minutes.

It was the epitome of full-level control.

Shana's Soul Power also reached level 17, and with the talent enhancement from the Immortal Herb, it wouldn't be long before she broke through to level 20.

Returning to his dormitory at the academy, Gu Feng dragged his exhausted body and collapsed heavily onto the bed.

At this moment, he could finally enjoy this long-awaited leisure time, and his tense nerves began to relax. It wasn't long before he fell asleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed when a soft little hand gently poked his side.

Shana, afraid of waking Gu Feng and upsetting him, deliberately softened her voice and called out gently, "Young Master, Young Master, it's time to get up for lunch."

Gu Feng groggily sat up from the bed and slowly walked to the living room.

When he saw the table filled with a variety of delicious dishes, he was momentarily stunned. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things, then exclaimed in surprise, "Shana, did you make all of this by yourself? You're so capable!"

Hearing Gu Feng's praise, Shana's cheeks instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head slightly, a hint of shyness in her voice. "Yes, Young Master. I specifically learned how to make these dishes for you. Do you like them?"

Just as Shana was about to serve the rice, there was a knock at the door.
