195 Golden Dragon (2/2)

His soul was slowly breaking apart at the seams, and he knew it was because of his crude method, but it was similarly true that he would grow much stronger if he made it through.

Gritting his teeth, Xue Wei tried to hold on. Right as the world started to blacken and his consciousness was slipping, a dragon roar pulsed through and out of his body.

The dragon spirit in his dantian had roared loudly, preventing Xue Wei from entering a pain-induced coma.

Xue Wei's mind was suddenly very clear. He felt as if he had transcended the pain.

The waves of spiritual energy had continued to wreak havoc in his mind, but Xue Wei could observe it without being implicated.

Suddenly, his soul started to shake. The extreme amount of spiritual energy that was flooding his soul had caused cracks to appear all over it.

The final wave of energy caused the soul to shatter. It collapsed into a thousand pieces, after which the dragon spirit roared a second time.

This time, a roar was not enough, so the spirit vanished from the dantian and appeared in the mind where the shattered soul was located.

It consumed every single shattered piece of soul. It was as if the soul was nourishment for the spirit, but Xue Wei was horrified. This was his soul!

After eating all the shards of the shattered soul, the dragon spirit started shining like a golden bell.

Suddenly the body of the azure dragon spirit grew blurry before it split into two. However, where the original dragon spirit was azure in color, the second one was golden.

They looked completely similar with the exception of their colors.

When it was done, the azure dragon spirit nodded its head in approval before it flashed and returned to the dantian.

Xue Wei was stupefied. His soul had mutated. It now looked like a dragon. What changes would this mean for him?

He tried using his spiritual energy and discovered that the range of his spiritual energy sense had increased by more than three times.

He also found that his spiritual energy was much more vigorous than before. It was as if it had attained a trace of majesty and endlessness that had not been there before.

Xue Wei was surprised. His soul was far stronger than before. It was as if he was awakening from a long sleep and the world was suddenly much clearer than it had been before.

He felt much more complete now than he was before. It was as if his mutated soul was more compatible with him.

Sighing, he shook his head. He had never before heard about a mutated soul before. Since he did not understand it, he believed it would be a good idea to consult Bai Tianyi about it.

”Anyways, I need to get my hands on a spiritual energy cultivation method.” Xue Wei sighed and pondered for a bit.

”I should be able to get a standard cultivation technique from the Golden Chambers,” he muttered to himself, ”and then I can always change it when I get a better skill. Even a bad skill is better than no skill.”

With that matter settled and knowing that more thought on the mutated soul would yield him nothing, Xue Wei opted to try his hand at the Blazing Light Formation again

The brush flowed smoothly and he had no problems creating the formation.

After confirming that he had no problem inscribing the formation, he sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.

Xue Wei spent the rest of the night cultivating his qi. The night was calm but never silent. The city that spanned out in every direction out from the hotel was never quiet, and life bustled even in the darkest hour.

Wang Xiaoyun was in deep thought. Her beautiful eyes were flashing from time to time with unspoken and complicated emotions.

Bai Tianyi sat by the open window, gazing down at the stream of people beneath him while greedily absorbing the soul power in the air.

Hei Gou was also busy. He cultivated his body and Qi the entire night.

The following days, the group of friends went to the shopping districts daily to buy necessities for their future travels. Before they knew it, the day of the auction had drawn close.

Xue Wei and his friends all made their preparations. Soon, it was time to depart the Three Legged Crow Hotel.

The entire city was in turmoil. Many experts were rushing to the auction house to stand in line and get a spot in the auction hall.

As Xue Wei arrived, he was instantly recognized by some people from the Golden Chambers and thus a group of guards came to escort them.

”This way, please,” the leader of the guards said smilingly. ”We have reserved Sky Room Number One for your use. please let us escort you to the destination, my lords.”

Many surrounding people heard this and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Sky Room Number One was without a doubt the most prestigious room in the entire auction house.

Seeing the ones who were allowed to use this room was already a great honor.
