Zap!

A streak of lightning flashed. Jiang Nannan appeared a hundred meters away.

So fast, it was nearly teleportation.

“This…”

Covered in arcs of lightning, Jiang Nannan was stunned.

She’d never been this fast before.

Even with instant movement, she’d only managed a few meters.

Now, she’d crossed nearly a hundred meters in a flash.

For combat, the advantage was enormous.

“Sister Nannan, make good use of it,” Su Yu grinned.

In the original, Jiang Nannan’s seventh ring was a thirty-thousand-year Sky Fragrant Soft Tendon Python.

For such a soul beast to be used as a seventh—or even eighth—ring was a waste of her potential.

Compared to the hundred-thousand-year Lightning Rift Falcon, there was no contest.

The benefits of a hundred-thousand-year ring were incalculable.

Especially from a super soul beast—so many advantages!

“Xiao Yu… Thank you,” Jiang Nannan’s eyes reddened, and her gratitude condensed into these words.

“Come on!” Su Yu waved it off. “If you all get stronger, I can relax.”

With martial soul true bodies, their combat power had skyrocketed.

Even Jiang Nannan was now extremely formidable.

Su Yu surveyed the group. This trip to Star Dou Forest had yielded great rewards.

At their current age and cultivation, they were truly the best among their peers on the continent.

“Young master, your subordinate also prepared two gifts for you,” Di Tian suddenly said.

Su Yu looked at him in surprise. Di Tian’s face was solemn.

“With your current cultivation, you can use these items now.”

Di Tian reached out, tearing a crack in space, and pulled out two glowing orbs, one blue, one silver, dazzlingly bright.

A powerful aura and dense energy radiated from them.

Whoosh!

The pressure swept out, forcing the girls to retreat, chests tight.

Even Di Mingli with her Golden Dragon bloodline, and the now-Super Douluo Xue Di, were shaken.

“So strong a bloodline aura,” Di Mingli’s eyes widened, her face grave.

Her Golden Dragon bloodline roared inside her, sensing intense pressure.

It wasn’t that her bloodline wasn’t strong, but rather not pure enough.

The bloodline pressure from these orbs was the purest, most refined dragon lineage—even stronger than Di Tian’s.

Only Su Yu was unaffected. He felt a deep sense of kinship with the orbs.

Looking closer, the orbs gathered the surrounding elements, becoming the center of their respective forces.

He’d only seen such elemental control from Gu Yuena.

Peering through the light, Su Yu saw their true form: two soul bones.

Two soul bones of unimaginably high quality—divine bones.

Genuine divine-class soul bones.

Su Yu recognized that holy, transcendental aura instantly.

It could not be faked—this was the power of gods.

Di Tian had hidden divine bones?

He stroked the two orbs, a little sadly. “These two soul bones were left by dragon ancestors.”

“I gathered them during the chaos of war.”

“When alive, both were famed for their power and pure blood, far above me.”

“One commanded the wind, the other space.”

“To tell you the truth, I gained my own space mastery from this space-infused bone, allowing me to cultivate the dual soul core.”

“Now that you’re here, young master, a genius and our dragon clan’s last hope…”

“I believe the ancestors would want their remains to aid your growth.”

“Please, accept these gifts.”

Di Tian was sincere.

He’d prepared them for Su Yu long ago, but Su Yu hadn’t met the requirements.

Divine-class soul bones had strict conditions.

Su Yu’s Dragon God power allowed him to skip all worries—except for soul power, which he now had.

Su Yu was silent for a moment, then summoned the two bones. They flew into his arms like swallows returning to their nest.

One held wind, the other pure space power—clearly from Wind Element Saint Dragon and Space Element Saint Dragon.

Whether they were from the original Nine Dragon Kings, Su Yu didn’t know.

The ancient dragon clan had many divine members; both wind and space branches had many strong figures.

Probably not Nine Dragon Kings, but still, the former owners were extraordinary, or Di Tian wouldn’t revere them so.

“Uncle Di Tian, thank you!”

He’d heard Di Tian mention gifts before but hadn’t expected such a surprise.

With these, his abilities would leap again—especially physically.

“So long as the young master is pleased,” Di Tian smiled.

“Uncle Di Tian, please stand guard for me.”

Without delay, Su Yu sat down to absorb the bones.

This was his first time gaining such high-level soul bones.

So far, Su Yu had four bones:

Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear right claw bone

Ancient Azure Dragon horn bone

Sky Blue Dragon left claw bone

Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion left arm bone

Only one was a core suit bone.

Now, he would add two more—both leg bones, one wind, one space. His speed would soar.

He began refining them. With Dragon God power, there were no mishaps, but it still took several days to fully absorb them.

The transformation was huge.

Physically, Su Yu reached the extreme limits of the mortal body—almost a demigod.

His body surpassed Mu Wu in dual-core mode.

He could go toe to toe with Du Busi in golden form.

Just relying on his body, he could fight Ultimate Douluo.

His soul power soared from level 87 Contra to level 90.

If his second soul core was formed, he could absorb a ninth ring and become a Titled Douluo.

But more important were the mysteries within these two bones—their greatest treasures.

They held the wind and space essences.

For Su Yu, these were precious beyond words.

He’d already unlocked wind; with deeper understanding, he’d get even stronger.

And space mastery—true power.

At the Ultimate Douluo level, one could begin to comprehend space, but only shallowly.

Today, few on the continent truly commanded space.

Aside from Gu Yuena, only Di Tian and Hai Bodong managed it.

Perhaps Xie Di and Mu Wu could be considered half-masters.

Others barely scratched the surface.

Su Yu had gained a great treasure.

The skills they brought were astonishing:

Wind Element Saint Dragon leg bone: four abilities

Wind Dragon's Dominion (extreme speed buff)

Wind Dragon's Roar

Sandstorm Dragon Tornado

Extreme Wind Blade Rain

The first was speed; the rest, devastating attacks.

Space Element Saint Dragon: four more

Spatial Shift (long-range teleport, up to 100km, 3/day)

Instant Move (short-range, no cooldown, up to 500m, scales with power)

Spatial Rend (area space shredding)

Spatial Stasis (freezes everything within a kilometer)

Su Yu tried each ability and sighed.

“Invincible!”

Even he was shocked by his own strength.

No wonder they were divine-class bones—the boost was phenomenal.

“Young master, looks like a good haul?” Di Tian guessed from his expression.

Su Yu nodded. “Uncle Di Tian, thank you again.”

Di Tian smiled. “I only kept them safe; the true credit goes to the ancestors.”

Su Yu nodded.

Just as he was about to say more, a cold voice rang in his ear.

“Come here!”

Su Yu’s eyes sharpened. It was Gu Yuena’s voice.

Di Tian heard it too. “Young master—”

“It’s fine. I’ll go. Uncle Di Tian, take the others back.”

“Yes!”

Su Yu disappeared.

…

In a hidden underground space, his figure appeared.

Gu Yuena, in silver gauze, her amethyst eyes fixed on him.

“Di Tian gave them to you?”

Su Yu nodded and sat beside her.

Gu Yuena was silent for a while, then said, “Make good use of them. Don’t let their power go to waste.”

She was clearly reminded of the God Realm war—too tragic.

Countless gods and dragons fell. Even the Nine Dragon Kings’ direct heirs, those two bones’ owners, perished.

“Don’t worry, Nana, I will.”

Su Yu gently put his arm around her, letting her lean on his shoulder.

Gu Yuena didn’t resist, her silver hair falling as she rested her head on him.

“You’re level 90 now,” she said.

Su Yu nodded.

“Will you try a Yin-Yang dual core?”

He nodded again but shook his head too. He’d take inspiration from that path but wanted to forge his own.

“Comprehending space will help you form your second soul core.”

“Don’t leave for now, not until you succeed.”

She clearly planned to teach him herself.

Of course, Su Yu agreed. With her guidance, he would improve quickly.

“Any plans for your ninth ring?”

“If not, you can try Dragon Valley,” she suggested.

Su Yu shook his head. “I already have a target, but I’ll need your help then.”

“My reverse scale is with you. Just let me know if you need it.”

Gu Yuena replied casually.

Su Yu’s eyes flickered, but he hid his feelings.

Next moment, he put on an exaggerated touched face, saying, “Nana, you’re so good to me, I’m so moved!”

He hugged her, misbehaving again.

Gu Yuena bit her lip, pressing his hand away. “Are you a dog? Can’t get enough?”

Su Yu grinned, “With you, how could I ever get enough?”

“Nana, I love you so much.”

“The dragon clan’s numbers are thin. We have a heavy responsibility.”

He picked her up, and as Gu Yuena exclaimed in surprise, but then relaxed and let him do whatever he wanted.

…

…

…

Six months later.

In the Star Dou Forest, silver light flashed as a figure flitted like a phantom.

Whoosh!

A white shadow appeared like a shooting star, landing beside the Lake of Life.
