Chapter 69 Dragon Ball, Soul Core

Facing the black dragon's corpse that suddenly moved, Chen Yuan walked towards it step by step. After getting close, he stabbed with a sword. The sharp Seven Kill Sword tore through its scales and flesh and easily penetrated its throat.

Then Chen Yuan exerted force suddenly, pulled the Seven Killing Sword downwards, and tore a huge gap in its throat.

Chen Yuan reached his hand in and fumbled repeatedly in the black dragon's stiff corpse. Soon, his face changed and he finally found a spherical object. It should be this thing that caused the black dragon's corpse to move slightly under the traction of his qi.

With a little force, Chen Yuan took out the bead, which now lay quietly in his left hand. It was a black bead, pitch black, without a trace of light. It was neither gold nor jade, but seemed to be some kind of gum, but it was extremely solid when squeezed.

Duguyan said in surprise:

"What is this? It was taken out from the corpse of a soul beast. Could it be a soul bone? But why is it in this shape?!"

Dugu Bo said thoughtfully:

"It shouldn't be a soul bone, but something else. Yanyan, our Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul is actually one of the Dragon Seeds. When I broke through the Titled Douluo, the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul evolved into the Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor Martial Soul, and it condensed into a Danzhu, which is more than half of my cultivation."

“This bead now may be the Danzhu of this black dragon. It took only ten thousand years to condense the Danzhu. It seems that the dragon bloodline of this black dragon is very strong.”

Chen Yuan also came to a similar conclusion. This bead should be the inner elixir of this black dragon, or the dragon ball. In the Douluo Continent, those who can condense the inner elixir are all powerful soul beasts, such as the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It seems that he is lucky to have encountered such a powerful soul beast.

He absorbed the black dragon's soul ring, and it seemed that under the traction of the qi, he could activate the inner elixir. Then he tried it and circulated the soul power to his palm.

In just a moment, the bead burst into a dark luster and burst out with a devouring force, swallowing up all of Chen Yuan's soul power. As if it was not enough, it directly merged into Chen Yuan's palm and went straight to his dantian along the meridians.

This sudden scene also made Chen Yuan stunned. Then he sat cross-legged again, looking inward, watching the dragon ball go all the way to his dantian and begin to devour all the soul power in his dantian.

Chen Yuan was startled, but then he calmed down:

"I have absorbed all your spirit rings. Can the remaining dragon balls still make a difference? I want to see how much you can absorb. Will you drain my spirit power or will I completely refine you?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan mobilized all his soul power, as if raising a storm in his dantian, and poured all his soul power into the dragon ball. At the same time, he also concentrated his mental power, wanting to leave his own mark in this dragon ball.

From the Dragon Ball, Chen Yuan sensed some of its instincts, erosion, expansion, devouring... These are the instincts of the Dragon Ball. It is not controlled by anyone, it is completely based on instinct.

After learning this information, Chen Yuan felt more confident and continued to use his soul power to infuse the dragon balls, or in other words, to refine the dragon balls with his soul power.

Until all the soul power in the Dantian was completely devoured by the dragon ball, Chen Yuan successfully refined the dragon ball and had 100% control over it.

At this time, the dragon ball no longer looked like a dead object, but seemed to have come alive. It trembled and no longer devoured soul power. Instead, it released a large amount of soul power, making Chen Yuan's Dantian full again. Even the soul power consumed after releasing the fourth soul skill was almost restored.

Not only that, this dragon ball in Chen Yuan's dantian continuously absorbs and refines soul power. Even if Chen Yuan is not meditating, his soul power will still increase slowly. If Chen Yuan starts to meditate, the speed of cultivation will double.

This is like opening a 24-hour training plug-in. Because of this dragon ball, Chen Yuan's soul power operation speed, recovery speed, burst speed... all have been greatly improved. This made Chen Yuan pleasantly surprised, and then he thought:
'Isn't this the effect of the soul core? I absorbed the black dragon soul ring, so I can refine the dragon ball. If this dragon ball can continue to grow like the external soul bone, it will definitely be a priceless treasure. In the future, I can even imitate this dragon ball to condense a soul core of my own. After having two soul cores, my combat power will become extremely terrifying.'

Then, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, stood up and stretched.

Facing Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, he immediately explained:

"This is indeed the Black Dragon's Pill Bead. I used the connection I created with the Black Dragon Spirit Ring to successfully refine it just now. With this Pill Bead, my cultivation speed can be further improved. It is a rare treasure."

After listening to this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but say:
"You are so lucky. After absorbing a spirit ring, you can also obtain a pill bead. You have been practicing very fast to begin with, and you will practice even faster in the future. You are simply a monster."

When Chen Yuan heard this, he looked at Dugu Bo and said seriously:
"I have to thank Grandpa for not only leading me to find this black dragon, but also helping me kill it. Otherwise, none of this would have been possible for me."

Dugu Bo benefited greatly from it. In the eyes of outsiders, Dugu Bo was unruly and a person who was both good and evil, but in fact he was not that difficult to get along with.

Dugu Yan smiled, and seeing that Chen Yuan and her grandfather were getting along well, she would not have to lose sight of one while the other.

But soon, her smile faded slightly. Facing a genius like Chen Yuan, Dugu Yan felt pressured and even felt inferior. She was worried about gains and losses and became very nervous.

At this time, Chen Yuan said again:
"We have wasted so much time. Let's go back to the valley we were in."

After saying this, Chen Yuan used his third soul skill, and in a blink of an eye he was standing on his flying sword. He also extended his hand to Dugu Yan, wanting to invite her to come up with him.

Dugu Yan gladly accepted it and reached out to hold Chen Yuan's hand. Chen Yuan exerted a little force and pulled her onto the flying sword.

When Dugu Bo saw this situation, he simply turned a blind eye and instantly took off into the air, flying towards the valley alone. He did not leave with Chen Yuan and Dugu Yan.

In mid-air!

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said gently:
"Yanyan, I'm going back to the academy tomorrow, do you want to go with me?"

Dugu Yan's heart tightened, his eyes dropped slightly, and he spoke tentatively:

"Going back to the academy? There are two girls in the academy who have a crush on you. How are you going to deal with it?"

Chen Yuan knew very well that this kind of question could not be answered directly. He stretched out his hand, hugged Dugu Yan's waist tightly, leaned over and whispered in her ear:

"I'll find a way. I'll never let you leave me."

Because of Chen Yuan's behavior, Dugu Yan's bones were almost softened, but she also felt amused in her heart. This answer was too childish...
