Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 33: Terrifying Pressure, Sky-High Priced Medicinal Bath
“However, you don’t need to underestimate yourself. Your Purple Smoke Martial Soul is very special. With a little effort, you may be better than them.” Ying Qian took a deep breath, his tone carrying a hint of affirmation and determination.

Jing Ziyan, who was originally somewhat disheartened, suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her eyes after hearing this. Yes! Who wants to be a weak person? In Douluo Continent, in this world, talent determines a person's upper limit. If there is no adventure, one will be a weak person all his life.

And Ying Qian was Jing Ziyan's adventure. At this moment, Jing Ziyan no longer wanted to be a foil. Jing Ziyan nodded, and suddenly, she took a step back, pulling the distance between herself and Ying Qian, and then she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Ying Qian respectfully.

This time, it was Ying Qian's turn to be stunned. "What are you doing?"

"Teacher." Jing Ziyan called respectfully, "Please accept me as your disciple."

Ying Qian smiled, and said without agreeing or refusing, "I am your teacher now, and I have no plans to accept any disciples."

Jing Ziyan felt a little aggrieved when she heard this, but then she figured it out. She had joined the Wuhun Department, and her teacher was Ying Qian. She could learn from Ying Qian, a Limit Douluo, every day. What else could she not be satisfied with?

"Okay, I have answered all of your questions. From today on, you will come to my place to study every morning, and go back to the Soul Guidance Department in the afternoon." Ying Qian continued.

"Teacher, we have already joined the Wuhun Department, why do we still need to study in the Soul Guidance Department?"

At this time, the little brat Meng Hongchen jumped out again and spoke.

Ying Qian had expected this.

"I'm letting you go to the Soul Guidance Department for your own good. The future trend of the continent will definitely be the combination of powerful soul masters and soul guides. So, I'm letting you not give up learning soul guides. First, I'm not letting you lose sight of the main goal. Second, I'm not letting you waste your soul guide talents."

"So what are we going to learn today?" Xiao Hongchen asked.

"Actual combat!" After Ying Qian said this, his gentle temperament disappeared. His eyes became sharp and cold, and he exuded a fierce aura.

"Are you kidding me? They actually asked us to fight against a level 99 Extreme Douluo?" Meng Hongchen was the first to stand up and resist.

Ying Qian's face straightened and he said seriously, "Only by moving forward under pressure can you constantly improve yourself and understand your martial soul. When your soul power and mental power reach a certain level, a qualitative change will occur. Every time you improve, your martial soul will evolve. When you reach this level, you will no longer be obsessed with soul skills, but will become one with your martial soul. Soul skills are important, but you are too obsessed with every move of soul skills. Only by continuous development and continuous experimentation can you become strong."

As he spoke, Ying Qian's momentum increased again, and a shadow of a dragon slowly emerged behind him. The dragon's scales shone with silver light, and its eyes were filled with a sharp cold light. Its claws dug into the ground, as if it was going to tear the earth apart.

This was just an illusion, but it had already forced Xiao Hongchen and the others to release their martial spirits to resist. But even so, everyone turned pale and trembled in their hearts. Only Ji Juechen had bright eyes. Although the power in his body was trembling, his eyes were shining with determination. Only a madman like him would be obsessed with facing the strong!

The next moment, Ying Qian's momentum changed again, and the phantom of the dragon behind him became clearer. The dragon's wings spread out like a pair of huge sails, carrying endless power, as if they could fly into the sky at any time. The dragon's tail was long and powerful, and every swing brought an invisible airflow, making people feel an indescribable shock and awe.

The aura emanating from the dragon is like a towering mountain, insurmountable and unshakable, making people marvel at its incomparable majesty and power. Under the might of this dragon, people can only yield and obey, not daring to resist.

If the aura that Ying Qian exuded just now was like that of a king, making people unable to help but submit, then Ying Qian now was like an angry dragon, full of violence and rage.

With a muffled groan, a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Jing Ziyan's mouth. She fell back a few steps uncontrollably. Even her martial spirit could not force him to hold on. Ying Qian's momentum was like a real dragon devouring himself.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were not feeling well either, as they were beast spirits. The spirit beasts respected the dragon clan, and after releasing their spirits, they not only did not help them resist Ying Qian's pressure, but instead a fear emerged from the depths of their hearts.

Just when everyone was blocked, a holy light instantly enveloped everyone. Holy Praise, Ye Guyi's third soul skill, can enhance the soul master's strength and agility attributes by 50%.

Originally this was a single soul skill, but now Ye Guyi used it to amplify four people, and the soul power that was originally not much was drained away in an instant. But the effect it brought was real. Under the amplification of the sacred praise, the other four people were able to stabilize their bodies under the pressure of Ying Qian.

Ying Qian nodded slightly, but the next moment. A dragon roar resounded through the sky, and the dragon's might instantly enveloped the entire martial arts arena. Dragon's might is a kind of momentum, and the dragon's might released by Ying Qian now is no longer the same as before. Although invisible, it is like a truly majestic dragon soaring into the sky and sweeping across the eight directions. It is an invisible force that can make people palpitate, awe, and respect.

The momentum brought by Long Wei was as oppressive as a mountain, as fierce as a storm, and made people feel a strong and irresistible force. Finally, amidst the muffled groans, no one could bear it anymore. Ye Guyi was the first to release the Angel Martial Spirit. With her already incomplete spirit power, it was not easy for her to hold on for so long.

Next were Jing Ziyan, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the three of them were in very bad condition. The soul power in their bodies was completely disordered, like a group of rabbits being hunted, and began to run around in their bodies.

Looking at Ji Juechen holding the sword with one hand, he was breathing heavily. His originally beautiful long hair was now messy, soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead. Sweat rolled down like beads, washing his face clearly, but the sweat on his face could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

The only thing that remained unchanged was his eyes, which were bright and revealed a kind of strength and determination. Although his body was exhausted, his eyes were still firm, as if he was announcing his determination and perseverance to the world. In his eyes, there was no fear, only endless fighting spirit and excitement.

Ji Juechen exuded a tenacious aura. Although his body had reached its limit, he still did not flinch and held the hilt of the sword with both hands without hesitation, trying to stand up.

In Ji Juechen, Ying Qian saw a kind of tenacity and courage to face difficulties. Despite the adversity, he still persevered, fought hard, and pursued his goals. This tenacious spirit made Ying Qian admire it.

"That's enough, let's stop here for today!" Ying Qian put away his momentum. "Everyone, go to the teaching building. Girls go to the second floor, boys go to the first floor."

After saying that, Ying Qian was about to turn around and leave. "Wait a moment." Ji Juechen suddenly called Ying Qian.

"Teacher, can you tell me how much strength you used just now?" Ji Juechen's trembling voice revealed his excitement.

Ying Qian slowly stopped, turned around, and smiled. There was a hint of depth in his eyes, as if he was hiding endless mysteries.

"Ji Juechen, you finally asked an interesting question." His voice was calm and powerful, like an ancient whisper or the sound of wind blowing through the treetops. "You want to know how much strength I just used?"

Ji Juechen nodded nervously, his eyes flashing with curiosity and awe.

"Strength..." Ying Qian repeated the word slowly, as if savoring its flavor. "Strength, what is it? It is not just a manifestation of power, but also a state of inner depth and control."

There was an air of transcendence in his words, like a wise man enlightening the minds of his students.

"The strength I just showed you..." he continued, "was just a display, a reminder. You haven't seen my true strength yet. Because strength is not for showing off, but for protection."

Ji Juechen was fascinated by what he heard, as if he was in a mysterious and sacred world.

"But," Ying Qian's eyes suddenly became sharp, "If someone challenges my bottom line, I will not be soft-hearted. Because the enemy is not worthy of mercy."

His words revealed an absolute majesty that caused Ji Juechen to shudder in his heart.

"Do you understand?" Ying Qian stared at Ji Juechen, with a hint of blame and concern in his tone, "Strength is a responsibility, and even more so a commitment. You have to understand that what you pursue is not just strength, but also a clear understanding of what your heart wants. Do you remember what I just told you? Your sword intent lacks soul."

Ji Juechen was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly, with determination and awe flashing in his eyes.

Ying Qian smiled slightly and turned away. There seemed to be an invisible force behind him that made people feel awe.

Ji Juechen stood there silently, and finally fainted when he could no longer see Ying Qian's back. The reason why he could hold on until now was entirely because of the obsession in his heart.

Finally, Xiao Hongchen helped Ji Juechen to the teaching building. The girls had already gone up to the second floor. Pushing open the door and slowly walking into the classroom, what caught my eye was not the desks and chairs in the classroom, but the hot and lingering air, as if a dreamy fairyland was slowly unfolding. Looking closely, there were two large wooden barrels.

"It's actually a medicinal bath." Xiao Hongchen immediately saw the mystery. As someone who has been taking drugs since childhood, he is naturally very familiar with these medicinal herbs.

Ji Juechen heard this and quietly approached the wooden barrel. A mysterious atmosphere filled the inside of the barrel. The medicinal herbs slowly floated in the mist, emitting a charming light. Every medicinal herb seemed so precious.

In the wooden barrel, there is a thousand-year-old precious dragon scale grass floating, its leaves are as crystal clear as jasper, and it exudes a fresh medicinal fragrance. Dragon scale grass has a strong vitality, can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, clear away heat and detoxify, and has a wonderful effect on repairing damaged meridians and skin.

The purple crystal flower next to it is an extremely rare medicinal material, and its petals shine like purple gemstones. Purple crystal flowers have a calming effect, can calm the mind, and help practitioners reach a state of calmness.

There is also a kind of medicinal material called magic vine, whose vines are entwined around the walls of the wooden barrel, emitting a faint fragrance. The magic vine has a magical ability to detoxify, which can eliminate toxins in the body, purify the meridians, and fill the practitioner's body with fresh vitality.

These precious medicinal herbs are intertwined with each other, releasing a mysterious energy together, bringing endless miracles and power to practitioners.

Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. These medicinal herbs are priced sky-high in the market. Not to mention that Xiao Hongchen and his friends only know a small part of the medicinal herbs in this wooden barrel, and most of the medicinal herbs are unknown to Xiao Hongchen. The price of such a barrel of medicinal bath is probably sky-high.

Xiao Hongchen stroked the edge of the wooden barrel, feeling the mysterious power of the medicinal bath. A warmth rushed from the barrel, gently embracing their bodies, warm and pure.

Ji Juechen and Xiao Hongchen no longer hesitated, and immediately took off their clothes and slowly stepped into the wooden barrel, stretching their bodies in the heat. Xiao Hongchen followed and also stepped gently into the wooden barrel. The two leaned against each other, as if they were integrated into this mysterious medicinal bath.

The mist of the medicinal bath was gentle and lingering, like a pair of invisible hands, gently caressing their whole bodies. At first, it was just a faint feeling, but as time went on, the warmth gradually spread and penetrated into their skin and meridians.

Slowly, the medicinal bath began to exert its mysterious and wonderful effect. Waves of cool power surged out of the medicinal bath, penetrating their skin and deep into their meridians. There seemed to be an invisible force surging in the meridians, washing every inch of skin and cleaning every meridian.

Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen felt a slight relaxation in their bodies, as if they had been freed from all restraints and troubles. Their meridians were gradually cleansed, and layers of dirt were washed away, leaving behind a crystal clear meridian that was gleaming with light.

The magical effect of the medicinal bath intoxicated Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen. They immersed themselves in the warm atmosphere and enjoyed the process of washing and purification. The transformation and remodeling of the meridians seemed to be completed at this moment, and their bodies and minds were completely relaxed and sublimated.
