With a cold snort, Dragon Soul stepped forward, waving both hands. Two beams of white light suddenly transformed into two arcs, resembling crescent moons, encircling and imprisoning the two Dragon Souls.
The two Dragon Souls let out their final two unwilling roars, but they had no strength left and collapsed weakly to the ground.
Dragon Soul retracted the light in his hands, revealing a strand of black radiance. The eyes of the two Dragon Souls flickered with light before turning grayish-white, their massive bodies completely falling to the ground.
"Sit tight, close your eyes, and focus!"
Dragon Soul shouted loudly as he stood behind Wang Long.
At this moment, Wang Long had gained some experience and immediately sat down on the ground, pretending to be dead, remaining silent and motionless, allowing Dragon Duel to take control.
In an instant, he felt two streams of heat surging from his back through his meridians, like two red-hot chains rolling back and forth within him. The unparalleled pain made his entire body tremble violently.
"Hold on! This time it might be a bit more painful!"
Dragon Soul's voice came from behind. Wang Long nodded slightly but couldn't stop the veins on his forehead from bulging as cold sweat poured down.
"Ah..."
Wang Long cried out as the two streams of heat within him merged into one, intensifying even further. It felt as if his body was being pierced from head to toe, completely tearing apart.
At the same time, he sensed that a circular flow within him had been opened up. The Dragon Qi that usually flowed sluggishly suddenly found its release, roaring down like a floodgate opening, bringing immense relief.
The pain and comfort were two entirely opposite yet equally intense sensations that made Wang Long feel as if he were in a dream.
Moreover, this time the pain was more enduring; it felt like hours had passed before he finally regained some clarity and slowly began to recover his senses.
He stood up and tried to circulate the Dragon Qi within his body, only to find that everything became clear; there was not a single blockage, as if the Hundred Rivers flowed into the sea, completely converging into one, available for him to manipulate at will.
"This... this is..."
Wang Long was astonished, feeling an incredible change in his body.
"That's right... I have opened your Eight Dragon Veins!"
Dragon Soul smiled slightly and said proudly.
"But... aren't there only two Seventh-Rank Dragon Souls here? Even with two, it should only allow me to reach the peak of the Seventh Dragon Vein. How could I directly break through to the Eight Dragon Veins?"
Dragon Soul chuckled, "Did you forget the Dragon Script and Heavenly Book you saw in the Serpent Clan Forbidden Area? After I practiced the Heavenly Restoration Technique from it, my Spirit gradually solidified, and my cultivation was slowly recovering."
"The number of Dragon Veins I can open depends on how much my strength has recovered. As for these two Seventh-Rank Dragon Souls, they are merely a medium for me to use. With my own Dragon Qi added in, helping you open the Eighth Dragon Vein is nothing extraordinary."
Wang Long still found it hard to believe. Looking at his hands in a daze, he said, "The Eighth Dragon Vein... I really have reached the realm of the Eighth Dragon Vein..."
"Hmph, you silly boy who has never seen the world... Is it that hard to believe?" Dragon Soul scoffed dismissively, though there was a hint of amusement in his expression.
Wang Long sighed lightly, "This is a realm that many elders cannot reach! Even that Left Envoy of the Serpent Clan probably only stands at the peak of the Eighth Dragon Vein or has just barely broken through to the Ninth Dragon Vein."
"According to reasoning, that's about right."
"But now... I actually have the power to stand shoulder to shoulder with them..." Wang Long was somewhat stunned.
Dragon Soul sneered, "That's another matter entirely. Your combat experience, wisdom, and even martial arts skills are worlds apart from those people. If you were to truly engage in battle, you probably wouldn't last more than a few rounds."
"That being said, at least I now have some strength to fight back..." He chuckled lightly, looking up at the sky. "Father, I can finally help share some of your burdens..."
Early the next morning, Zhang Mingyi came knocking on the door, his voice urgent.
Wang Long was in high spirits as he opened the door and smiled, "So, which team are we assigned to? Which Serpent Clan Leader are we going after?!"
Zhang Mingyi's expression changed, and he said solemnly, "Jiang Xue is missing..."
"What did you say? Jiang Xue is missing? How could that be? She was here just last night..." Wang Long's face turned pale as he asked anxiously.
"Yes, but I noticed something was off with her last night; she seemed troubled... Usually, when I come to find you, she is already waiting at the door for me. But today, after knocking for a long time with no response, I forced the door open and found that she had vanished..."
Wang Long's heart sank, and he grew even more anxious. "I understand now; she must have gone after the Serpent Clan Leader... Last night I sensed that she had some connection with him, but that silly girl refused to tell me anything! Elder Mingyi, I... I need to go find her; she might be in danger..."
Zhang Mingyi was taken aback and hesitated. "But... you must understand that our mission is to pursue those retreating enemies at the East Gate... Defying Dragon Hidden's orders could have serious consequences..."
Wang Long replied resolutely, "Here’s the plan: Elder Mingyi, you complete the mission while I go find Jiang Xue alone. This way, no one will say anything. Even if I'm discovered, it will only be my responsibility..."
Zhang Mingyi sighed. "Are you really going to do this?"
Wang Long forced a smile. "It seems I have no choice... Alright, take care of yourself; I'm off!"
"Wait a minute..." Zhang Mingyi suddenly called out to Wang Long and exclaimed, "You... broke through to the Eight Dragon Veins? How could that happen... overnight?"
Wang Long smiled at him but did not answer. He waved his hand and dashed out.
"You little rascal... still playing mysterious with me... I hope nothing happens to you two. No wait, if it's just the two of them and I'm alone, it seems I'm actually the one in more danger..."
Zhang Mingyi muttered to himself, complaining as he walked out.
"Jiang Xue, you must wait for me. Don't act too impulsively on your own..." Wang Long took out the token of Dragon Hidden and immediately rushed out through the front door, chasing after the direction where the Serpent Clan Leader and others had retreated.
After breaking through the Eighth Dragon Vein, he felt that the Dragon Qi within him was like an Endless Cycle, capable of deriving itself from his body, giving him a sense of never-ending energy.
This was a sign that he was on the verge of mastering the Dragon Vein Realm. Once he broke through to the Ninth Dragon Vein, he would truly connect with heaven and earth, controlling the surrounding Dragon Qi for his own use, achieving a state of unity between man and nature.
That would be true inexhaustibility; Dragon Qi would no longer be a barrier in battle, and cultivators' training would shift from external to internal, focusing on the mysteries within their own bodies.
This was the realm that the Dragon Head had already reached: the Dragon Bone Realm.
Although Wang Long was still some distance away from that level, those who had truly reached the Eighth Dragon Vein were rare in the entire Dragon City, making him well-qualified for an elder position.
In terms of cultivation level alone, he might even be on par with some family heads and powerful elders.
However, the joy of Wang Long's breakthrough was completely replaced by anxiety over Jiang Xue's sudden departure. He pushed his potential to the limit and almost flew as he rushed after Jiang Xue.
