————————

A few days later, with the carriage traveling at full speed, Xuan Ming finally arrived near the Xingdou Great Forest.

The carriage that Dugu Bo found for him was not an ordinary carriage. The horses pulling the carriage were tamed soul beasts that could travel a thousand miles a day. But even so, it took him seven days to get here.

Before, Dugu Bo took him back to Tiandou City from the Tiandou Empire army camp on the border of the Barak Kingdom, which took less than a day, so he had no idea of ​​the distance at that time.

“Actually, you can take a break. You don’t have to work so hard.”

Seeing Xuan Ming’s two thoughts controlling his body and practicing day and night, the Ice Dragon King couldn’t bear it anymore.

Although Xuan Ming has two thoughts, his mental power is only one. His method of alternating the two thoughts to control his body is not only very dangerous, but also keeps his mind in a highly exhausted and tense state for a long time.

Cultivation requires relaxation in moderation. How can you risk your life like this? If it was an adult, it would be fine, but Xuan Ming is still a child. His mind and body have not yet fully developed. If he risks his life like this, he might get into trouble.

“I know my limits.” Xuan Ming said.

The dragon souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King resided in his body, which was equivalent to forming a small Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire on his body. It not only helped him continue to digest the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot that he had taken before, but also created a portable body refining environment for him.

With such conditions, he naturally would not waste them.

“You have no sense of propriety at all.” The Ice Dragon King was speechless.

“Before, you felt insecure and were robbed by those humans. You were afraid that you would be finished at any time. You practiced hard under such circumstances. I understand you.”

“But now I’m here to protect you, why are you in such a hurry?”

“You’re protecting me?” Xuan Ming paused.

“Then I can’t be lazy anymore.”

The shadow of the Ice Dragon King’s dragon soul came close to Xuan Ming’s eyes, almost sticking to him, “You just don’t believe me.”

“It’s the same whether you believe it or not.” Xuan Ming said.

“Believe, but it doesn’t mean I will rely on you.”

“Depending on others means entrusting your fate to others.”

Xuan Ming’s eyes were calm, and his young face showed maturity beyond his age.

“Although you are strong, there are countless strong people in this world. If I am not strong enough, one day, when the crisis comes, you may not be able to deal with it. At that time, how should I deal with it?”

The Ice Dragon King was slightly startled, and a complex expression flashed in his dragon eyes.

“I am worried that you are too young, and if you fight too hard, it will easily damage your foundation.”

Xuan Ming’s body and mind have not yet fully developed. Although he relies on a method he learned from somewhere to control the misalignment of his two thoughts and conceal the mental fatigue brought about by continuous practice, it is not that he is not tired, but that he has forgotten that he is tired.

If Xuan Ming’s soul was strong enough, he could do whatever he wanted, but he was just a child now, his soul was extremely fragile, if he was not careful, he would turn himself into a fool!

“I know my limits.” Xuan Ming still said this.

“Sense of proportion?” The Ice Dragon King was a little unhappy. The cold air condensed into tiny ice crystals around Xuan Ming, but it ultimately did not turn into a physical attack.

“You little brat, you have really learned the arrogance of the dragon clan.”

“However, you are the successor I chose. If you continue to do this and really ruin yourself, I will be at a loss.”

“Fire Dragon King, help me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the energies of the two dragon souls residing in the black dragon turned into two thin streams, one cold and one hot, which rushed straight into the sea of ​​consciousness along the meridians.

Xuan Ming felt a sudden pain between his eyebrows and he groaned. His eyes instantly showed patterns of ice blue and red gold. The two thoughts were forced to separate in the severe pain. One sank into the ice mist and the other fell into the sea of ​​fire. The next moment, the two thoughts exchanged positions.

“What are you doing?” Xuan Ming gritted his teeth to resist the pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart.

“How does it feel to temper the soul with ice and fire?” The soul image of the Ice Dragon King appeared in Xuan Ming’s mind.

“Your soul is too fragile. If you continue to practice like this, you might end up breaking it any day.”

“I will use the power of the dragon soul to temper your soul, which can make your soul more resilient, but this process…”

Xuan Ming clenched his teeth, veins bulged on his forehead, and cold sweat soaked his clothes.

The energy of ice and fire raged in his sea of ​​consciousness. Every exchange of thoughts was like a cutting by a sharp blade, but he straightened his back and let his soul suffer repeatedly between being torn apart and reshaped.

“Ah——!”

Xuan Ming raised his head and roared like a beast, his soul almost shattered into pieces in the interweaving of ice and fire.

A trace of pity flashed across the eyes of the Ice Dragon King.

“If you can’t bear it, just tell me, I…”

Before he finished speaking, a quiet white light exploded from the depths of Xuan Ming’s soul and collided with the ice and fire energies.

“Nirvana…” The Ice Dragon King’s eyes changed slightly.

The Dragon God bestowed various attributes of his bloodline evolution on the most outstanding dragon geniuses, allowing them to possess nine attributes: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, time, and stability. Among them, the Dark Dragon King controls darkness and extinction.

Although Xuan Ming’s innate ability is light, it is the light of death…

“What are you doing?”

The Ice Dragon King, who was transferring dragon soul energy, looked with some surprise at the Fire Dragon King, who had been motionless since leaving the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

“Don’t you think he’s too weak? Why are you giving it to him?”

“Just a little bit.” said the Fire Dragon King.

“Yo yo yo, just a little bit left. You arrogant old dragon, are you interested in him?” said the Ice Dragon King.

“It’s still early.” The Fire Dragon King said lightly.

“Tsk, you say one thing and mean another, pretending to be reserved.” The Ice Dragon King said with disdain.

“It’s better than you giving it to me first.” The Fire Dragon King said speechlessly.

“Is there any problem with me giving some good things to my inheritor?” the Ice Dragon King said confidently.

“He doesn’t seem to be…”

“I said he is, and he is!”

“Don’t be so careless…”

“I was just careless! Why do you care about me? Even the Dragon God doesn’t care about me!”

“…”

…

After an unknown amount of time, Xuan Ming finally woke up from his coma.

He didn’t feel the tingling pain he had felt before fainting, but instead felt clearer than ever before.

“How do you feel?” The Ice Dragon King’s dragon soul shadow came close to Xuan Ming.

“Thank you.” Xuan Ming said.

He could feel his spirit becoming full, without the shaky and broken feeling that had become after being exhausted by long-term training.

“You should thank me. In order to help you, I gave you all my remaining dragon soul power.” The Ice Dragon King looked somewhat resentful.

She had not intended to give it to him so quickly. Just like Xuan Ming said, people’s hearts are treacherous. She didn’t know what kind of person this boy was, but… she was impulsive!

“Can you… not look at me like that?” Xuan Ming’s expression looked a little unnatural.

“Oh? It seems you know what that look is.” The Ice Dragon King was a little surprised.

“Someone has looked at you like this before.”

“Yeah.” Xuan Ming nodded.

“It’s the Pope who helped me repair my martial soul, whom I told you about before.”

Before in Wuhun City, Bibi Dong looked at him like this for a long time after she helped him repair his martial soul.

I feel heartbroken, reluctant, annoyed, and even a little regretful.

To sum it up, there is a kind of impulsive sequelae of hitting a dog with a meat bun.

“It seems that you are not so unlucky.” The Ice Dragon King looked puzzled.

“But, shouldn’t you change your tune?”

“Change your words?” Xuan Ming looked puzzled.

“Change what?”

“Call me mom.” said the Ice Dragon King.

“…”
