Douluo Dragon King: My Martial Soul is the Emperor Armor

Leng Yaozhu's usually lazy phoenix eyes widened slightly as she stared intently at the new figure on the screen, her usually steady breathing becoming noticeably rapid for the first time.

"That kid Su Yang, having two Battle Armor Martial Souls is already outrageous enough, but he can actually transform into a third?!"

She stood up abruptly, not bothering to wipe the coffee stains off her hands, and braced herself on the countertop with a piercing gaze.

Moreover, this is clearly a martial soul fusion skill created with Gu Yue!

This must be the first time the two children have met.

There wasn't even a break-in period; they fused their spirits with a simple pull? And with 100% perfect compatibility?!

"The last time this happened..."

In an instant, the legend from ten thousand years ago flashed through Leng Yaozhu's mind: "It was Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, and his wife, Tang Wutong, the Dragon Butterfly Douluo, who was disguised as a man!"

"Could these two kids also be...?"

Leng Yaozhu's eyes became gossipy, and she even started to imagine whether the two little ones had some kind of predestined relationship from a past life.

Zi Ji was also somewhat confused, and wondered to herself: Has the lord succeeded?

Meanwhile, inside the Ascension Platform.

Gu Yue, the person involved, was sitting on the ground, completely bewildered.

She stared blankly at the guy in front of her, who was enveloped in lightning and elemental storms, her mind filled with questions.

That's not right!

That's not how the script was written!

What the hell is this armor?!

"Wow..."

Su Yang, unaware of Gu Yue's inner turmoil, clenched his fist in astonishment.

sizzle.

A golden arc of lightning danced at his fingertips, and with a casual wave of his hand, a dark spatial rift was torn open in the air in front of him!

"Thunder Yatalis...and an upgraded version at that?"

Su Yang was somewhat surprised as he felt the surging elemental power within his body, which was almost overflowing.

The original Yatalis armor was the ultimate armor naturally formed from the five elemental energies of the Earth: fire, water, wind, earth, and thunder.

But at this moment, this armor not only contains the five basic elements, but also the power of light, darkness, and even space!

This was clearly an unprecedented "version update" that absorbed the elemental power wielded by Gu Yue as the Silver Dragon King.

"Not bad, Little Yueyue."

Su Yang turned around, his blue crystal eye mask shimmering with an eerie light.

He gave a thumbs-up to Gu Yue, who was lying on the ground looking utterly bewildered, his tone so sincere it made you want to punch him:

"Although you tried to touch my hand earlier, I've decided to forgive you because you made me so handsome."

Gu Yue stared at the dazzling figure before her, her lips twitching wildly.

She felt her soul power being drained of most of its energy, and then looked at Su Yang, who hadn't even grown a dragon horn yet. She had a million curses in her mind, but she didn't know whether she should say them or not.

Give me back the power of the Dragon God!

"Give me back my soul power..."

Gu Yue sat on the ground, her eyes filled with resentment, like a young widow who had just been swindled out of her fortune.

She stared intently at Su Yang, looking as if she was about to pounce on him and bite him at any moment.

"Don't look at me like that, it's not like I'm the one who drained you dry."

Su Yang felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze.

Just as I was about to explain, I suddenly felt my newly upgraded Yatalis armor become unstable, and the elemental light began to flicker violently.

*Sizzle*—*Smack*.

With a soft sound, the elements flowing around him, and the platinum armor full of sci-fi aesthetics, instantly turned into countless points of light and disintegrated and scattered.

It transformed back into the original, heavy imperial armor.

"..."

Su Yang felt the emptiness in his body, and then glanced at Gu Yue across from him, whose eyes were filled with resentment that seemed to be dripping with tears. He immediately understood what was going on.

Although Thunder Yatalis is formidable, that "ultimate mutated version" is clearly not something he can control independently in his current state.

It requires an extremely large amount of elemental laws as support—that is to say, it must borrow the power of Gu Yue, the "humanoid self-propelled silver dragon king".

If the two people are not of one mind, this martial soul fusion skill will automatically disintegrate.

Tsk.

The Love Continent is truly amazing.

"Alright, stop sitting on the ground and acting all cute."

Su Yang shook his head, ignoring Gu Yue's murderous glare, and turned to walk deeper into the forest.

"Let's go, Little Yueyue."

"Don't call me Little Yueyue!"

"Little follower, don't fall behind."

"Who's your lackey!"

Gu Yue gritted her teeth, feeling the emptiness of her soul power, took a deep breath, and got up from the ground.

Although she was extremely unwilling, in order to find out the truth about the Golden Dragon King's aura, she had no choice but to endure the humiliation and become a "follower" for now.

She quickly caught up with Su Yang, her brows furrowed, but she couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her:

"My martial soul is the Seven-Colored Elemental Dragon, a top-tier dragon martial soul. If that was a martial soul fusion skill... why don't you have any dragon-like characteristics after you transform?"

It has no dragon horns, no dragon scales, no dragon wings, and not even a trace of dragon-shaped limb structure.

This is simply incomprehensible in the worldview of the dragon race.

Su Yang didn't turn his head; his voice came through the visor of the Emperor's Armor, carrying an air of nonchalant calm:

"Because the dragon is a symbol of the emperor."

"???"

The dragon... is it a symbol of the emperor?

Gu Yue's heart skipped a beat.

She took a deep look at the back of the person in front of her.

In this era where soul beasts are declining and humans dominate, it is astonishing that there are still people who hold such high esteem for the dragon race.

Moreover, the aura of the Golden Dragon King emanating from deep within the belt was absolutely genuine.

It seems I've really found the right person.

Gu Yue silently gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

As expected of Gu Yuena!

Although this guy has a sharp tongue, a bad personality, and is greedy, at least in terms of "bloodline," he is pure.

Just then, a rustling sound interrupted her thoughts.

The bushes ahead rustled, and a dozen pairs of eyes, glowing with an eerie green light, lit up.

It's a blue wolf.

A group of wind-attribute soul beasts at the tenth level. Although their individual strength is not strong, their large numbers and excellent teamwork make up for it.

It's enough to make an ordinary second-ring Soul Master flustered.

"A bunch of ragtag soldiers."

Gu Yue snorted coldly and almost subconsciously raised her hand.

As the Silver Dragon King, even if it's just an avatar, her fighting instincts are already ingrained in her bones.

boom!

A fireball condensed in her palm, flew out instantly, and exploded in the center of the wolf pack.

Immediately afterwards, an earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking the wolf's retreat.

Several wind blades, like invisible grim reapers, precisely reaped the panicked, fleeing blue wolves.

The movements were fluid and seamless, with no unnecessary waste of soul power.

In the blink of an eye, three or four blue wolves splattered blood all over the ground and disappeared in a flash of white light.

"Hey! Stop!"

Su Yang suddenly shouted, his voice filled with heartache and indignation, "What are you doing?!"

Gu Yue paused, her hands still. "What's wrong?"

"That's my experience pack... no, that's my spiritual power!"

Su Yang looked at the scattered white light and felt a pang of heartache.

"Why did you kill them so quickly? Don't you know these wolves have dignity too? They traveled thousands of miles just to die by my sword, fulfilling their mission as villains. Stealing their kills like this is disrespectful to them!"

Gu Yue: "..."

She looked at Su Yang, who was talking nonsense with a straight face, and a vein throbbed on her forehead.

"Get out of the way! Let me perform the ritual for them!"

Facing the dozen or so blue wolves that were trying to fight like cornered beasts, Su Yang shouted.

He casually swiped his right hand across the Five Elements Wheel at his waist.

"The Emperor - The Golden Era of Reform!"

Om-!

A golden light and shadow scroll appeared out of thin air.

That sharp, metallic aura, so sharp it seemed capable of cutting through the air, instantly filled the entire arena.

Without saying a word, Su Yang directly reached his right hand into the light and shadow scroll.

When he drew it again, a long sword with an ancient design and a golden dragon pattern on the hilt was clearly in his hand.

With a slight flick of the wrist.

With a flick of the wrist, there were no fancy sword techniques, just a simple combination of speed and power.

Brush brush!

Several golden lightning sword energies swept out in a fan shape, like a golden rainstorm, instantly covering all the remaining blue wolves.

Those poor wind-attribute soul beasts didn't even have time to let out a wail before they were cut in half by the golden sword light in mid-air.

Gu Yue's pupils contracted slightly.

So sharp.

No, it's not just sharp.

As the Silver Dragon King who controls all elements in the world, she knows better than anyone the significance of that sword strike.

That was not a simple slash, but the purest "power of destruction".

Although it was only a trace, it was something beyond "destruction," on par with the "power of creation" she had once possessed.

Gu Yue looked at the golden figure and quietly lowered her hand, which had originally intended to finish him off.

What exactly happened in the realm of gods?

How did the "Golden Dragon King" turn into a suit of armor?

After the wolf pack was torn to pieces, clusters of light surged from the corpses and rushed into Su Yang's body.

Su Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking completely absorbed in the moment.

"Ah... this is money... cough, this is the taste of becoming stronger. Indeed, it's always better to enjoy it all alone."

Gu Yue rolled her eyes at his greedy expression.

As it turns out, the Dragon God would have been utterly incapable without her extraordinary wisdom.

Soon, Gu Yue's gaze involuntarily fell on the sword in Su Yang's hand.

The sword is entirely white and gold, with five-colored halos flowing around its blade. The guard is adorned with a prominent dragon-shaped carving, and the aura it exudes is even stronger than her silver dragon spear.

"Your armor... it even comes with a built-in weapon?"

Gu Yue's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Able to integrate offense and defense, and even possessing divine weapons of this caliber... the quality of this martial spirit has probably surpassed the category of so-called "top-tier martial spirits".

Is it because the Golden Dragon Spear disappeared that it transformed its tail into a sword?

"Of course."

Su Yang proudly waved the Aurora Sword in his hand: "This is standard equipment. It would be too out of place for the Emperor's Armor to not have a weapon."

He felt the increase in the age of his first spirit ring. Although it was still far from a thousand years, even a fly's leg was meat.

"Alright."

Su Yang slung the Aurora Sword over his shoulder and casually patted Gu Yue's head with his other hand—of course, he quickly withdrew his hand before Gu Yue's murderous gaze fell upon him.

"For the sake of Thunder Yatalis, I'll reluctantly protect you today."

He gestured with his chin toward the depths of the forest, his tone lazy yet brimming with an inexplicable confidence: "Stay close, don't fall behind. If you get snatched away by some foolish spirit beast, I won't have the money to ransom you."

Gu Yue: "..."

Although she really wanted to kick him, she held back, considering the aura of the Golden Dragon King she had just witnessed.

"Who needs your protection?"

She muttered something under her breath, but her body betrayed her and she followed.

The two continued deeper into the forest.

The simulated primeval forest was eerily quiet; apart from the rustling of the two people's footsteps on the fallen leaves, there were only the occasional birdsong from afar.

However, this calm did not last long.

Not long after, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly.

thump.

thump.

thump.

Heavy, rhythmic impacts came from afar, and with each step, ripples spread across the puddles on the ground.

"Um?"

Su Yang stopped and looked ahead with some confusion. "Has the takeout arrived?"

next second.

Boom!

The trees ahead collapsed as if they had been crushed by a bulldozer, and amidst the flying wood chips, a huge figure rushed out, bringing with it a nauseating stench.

It was a giant beast that was at least eight or nine meters long.

It runs upright on both feet, its entire body covered with thick, iron-gray scales, each scale resembling a sturdy shield.

In the very center of its ferocious head grows a spiral horn a meter long, gleaming with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.

Its eyes were bloodshot and white breath was coming out of its nostrils; it was clearly attracted by the smell of blood from earlier.

"roar--!"

The behemoth let out a deafening roar, and the sound wave stirred up a gust of wind.

"A unicorn dragon!"

Gu Yue's eyes narrowed, and he made a judgment almost instantly, his voice tense:

"Judging from its size and the luster of its scales, it has at least nine hundred years of cultivation! This is an extremely ferocious sub-dragon soul beast with extremely high defense; even ordinary two-ring Great Soul Masters would have difficulty breaking through its defenses. Only a three-ring Soul Grandmaster could put it in a fighting chance!"

Although the unicorns have mixed bloodlines, they are still an insurmountable mountain for them now.

She instinctively stepped in front of Su Yang, her hand surging with elemental light: "Get out of the way! We're no match for it!"

Outside the Ascension Platform, in the observation room.

Zi Ji, who had been relatively calm, changed her expression instantly upon seeing the scene on the screen.

As a soul beast, she knew very well how troublesome the unicorn dragon was.

Although these dragons weren't very bright, they were thick-skinned, incredibly strong, and a nightmare for the two children who had just awakened their martial souls.

"Lord Leng, quickly bring them out!"

Zi Ji said anxiously, "Master...Master, Gu Yue only recently awakened his powers. What if he gets injured..."

Now that it has been confirmed that Su Yang is the holder of the Golden Dragon King's power, the master's mission is already more than half complete.

There's no need to take that risk for a test.

However, Leng Yaozhu remained unusually calm in the face of Zi Ji's anxiety.

She pulled out a new, exquisite coffee cup from somewhere, calmly took a sip, her gaze never leaving the golden figure on the screen, and even a faint smile on her lips.

Don't worry.

Leng Yaozhu said calmly, her tone exuding confidence.

"Ms. Zilong, you may be underestimating Su Yang's martial spirit."

She stretched out her finger and pointed at the boy on the screen who showed no sign of backing down in the face of the giant beast:

"That's no ordinary armor. It's something unprecedented—a Battle Armor Martial Soul."

"Battle armor?!"

Murasaki's pupils contracted.
