--- Chapter 75 ---
Han Yuan and others watched Liu Erlong solemnly as the red spirit ring above her head flickered like a dying lamp. It was a sign of successful spirit ring absorption.
However, Liu Erlong showed no sign of waking up.
The only thing that changed in Liu Erlong is her aura.
Everyone can feel it. Liu Erlong's once fiery but controlled aura becomes intensely wild with indescribable ferocity as if a wild beast was about out of its cage.
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly because he felt bloodline pressure from Liu Erlong's body.
According to Han Yuan, Dugu Bo's martial soul has reached the realm of the super martial soul, but even the super martial soul has its own division from low, mid, high, and top.
Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon is a super martial soul with high qualifications, and Emerald Mist Dragon is a super martial soul with mid qualifications.
Yet, Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin felt the "dragon" spirit that Liu Erlong was about to awaken for the second time was much nobler than theirs.
Crack!
Liu Erlong's skin on her cheeks suddenly cracked, revealing a profound crimson light.
Han Yuan activated the Eyes of Truth and noticed that the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was evaporating. It wasn't a phenomenon that should not happen when one's martial soul undergoes a second awakening.
No, it's not just that.
The temperature of the valley also rose rapidly.
"Senior Dugu, get everyone out of the valley, NOW!" Han Yuan realized the danger and ordered instantly.
Dugu Bo sensed the alarm in Han Yuan's voice and immediately wrapped everyone with his spirit energy before flying out as quickly as he could, leaving the valley almost in a split second.
They landed on the flat ground 300 meters from the valley and saw red smoke coming out from that direction.
"What's exactly happening to Erlong?" asked Ye Xualan. The others bobbed in confusion and stared at Han Yuan for an explanation.
Han Yuan sighed, "I sensed the sudden change in Heaven and Earth, and the fine particles in the air are too agitated, causing the temperature in the valley to rise too quickly."
"I'm afraid..."
BOOOOOOM!!
A volcanic eruption happened in the valley, sending a blast of lava and superheated smoke everywhere.
"An explosion would happen..." Han Yuan finished his words as the lava and black smoke approached them rapidly.
Dugu Bo possessed the Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon and activated his third and fourth skills, which changed upon the second awakening of his martial soul.
"Nether Dragon's Darkflame!"
"Nether Dragon Shield!"
Dugu Bo's body is wrapped in dark flame as he waves his hand and makes a strong energy barrier, shielding himself from the lava blast and superheated black smoke.
After his transformation, Dugu Bo's strength is no longer like before, and no attack can pass through the barrier.
Everyone stared at the erupting volcano blankly and then swallowed their saliva hard. If they stayed in the valley any longer, they might lose their lives there.
"Wait, what about Senior Erlong?" Han Yue immediately shook Han Yuan's arm. Although Han Yue really despised Liu Erlong for her 'old cow likes to eat young grass' thing, the female tyrannosaurus was one of the few people she could connect to.
Han Yue doesn't want Liu Erlong to die, and so is Han Yuan.
No, everyone here doesn't want Liu Erlong to die.
Then, a dragon roar comes from the depth of the volcano.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOARRR!!
Pinkish crimson rays burst from the ruined valley, and a majestic western pink-scaled dragon shrouded in crimson-gold armor and a divine flame appeared. The dragon also has four wings, shaped like arranged needles unfurled from the dragon's back, ejecting explosive smoke continuously, and a long muscular tail with a trident-shaped tip.
Han Yuan and others saw this in disbelief. They felt dazzled and amazed by this dragon's sheer aura. This dragon is, unlike Dugu Bo or Dugu Xin's martial soul. It's a very noble existence loved by the world.
And why is that?
Because a golden light broke through the clouds above and shone on the dragon, bathing it with heaven and earth energy.
Then, Han Yuan realized something.
It was the birth of an entirely new true dragon!
Woosh!
Pinkish-crimson particles shed the dragon's body gradually, revealing a beautiful woman in a red dress. She has a heroic, beautiful face, a lithe yet curvy body packed with dragon's aura, and gorgeous crimson hair flowing down her shoulder to her back.
Han Yuan was stunned as the "woman" stared at him with such a loving expression. Then, she disappeared from everyone's sight and appeared before Han Yuan, hugging him tightly and inhaling his scent greedily.
She kissed his cheek tenderly, making a wet noise and a red mark, "Xiao Yuan, I'm back~!"
"Erlong?" Han Yuan recognized the voice and looked at the "woman" in disbelief. "Is that you?"
Liu Erlong giggled, "Who else?"
"After absorbing the 100,000-year-old spirit ring, a thin but new dragon's bloodline in my body awakened, triggering a miraculous evolution for my martial soul and myself."
"The bloodline seemed to be the mutated dragon's bloodline buried by my father's bloodline."
"Then, again, it's not important..."
"What's matter is now that I'm back for you~!" She nudged her face on Han Yuan's chest.
Han Yuan's mouth twitched because Liu Erlong's change exceeded his expectations. He immediately used the Eyes of Truth to see her status panel.

"..." Han Yuan was awestruck.
'GOD DAYUUUM! WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE NEW PERKS?'
'I know how overpowered the Immortal Pills are, but this is something else!'
Han Yuan meticulously planned everything for Liu Erlong's cultivation and didn't even hold back when making Immortal Pills for her, but the result exceeded his expectations.
Calling this qualitative transformation is a severe understatement.
Liu Erlong has undergone a rebirth, becoming a powerhouse that could put shame on a genius like Bibi Dong.
"Xiao Yuan, no one can separate us..." Liu Erlong suddenly whispered into Han Yuan's ears, sending shivers down his spine.
Han Yuan looked into Liu Erlong's now-golden eyes, which brewed with an extreme possessiveness, and asked, "W-What did you say to me just now?"
Liu Erlong flashed an innocent smile, "Hmm, nothing~!"
"We should go back. I don't want Xiao Yue to scold me~!" After saying that, Liu Erlong descended with Han Yuan in her arms.
Even then, Han Yuan still had a lingering dread in his chest.
Unknown to Han Yuan, he has created a monster!
