412: Chapter 413 Successful Training!

Immediately after, he took out another Medicinal Pill—

"Spirit Nourishment Pill," a common Medicinal Pill used to strengthen the foundation and nourish the Meridians. Although its grade was not high, it was perfect for stabilizing the other's Physical Body, which was on the verge of collapse.

Ye Changge crushed the Medicinal Pill and fed all the powder into the mouth of the Seven-Star Bass King.

"Since there is hope, I will give you a hand."

After saying this, he withdrew his hand, took a step back, stood with his hands behind his back, and observed quietly.

Time passed bit by bit.

The body of the Seven-Star Bass King was still trembling violently, with black Qi rolling incessantly around it. Its flesh would swell and then shrink, and the sound of its heartbeat grew louder and more rapid—

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The sound was like the beating of war drums, echoing throughout the vast hall.

Its gills opened to their limit, its fish body arched like a bow, and the seven silver-white spots flashed frantically, flickering unsteadily.

Ye Changge could feel that the Black Water Flood Dragon Curse was fiercely battling with its heart, attempting to merge the spell seal representing the Dragon blood into this beating heart!

This was a stage he had not reached in his previous failed attempts.

Whether it would succeed or fail depended on this moment!

"Hum—!"

A low humming sound resonated from within the Seven-Star Bass King.

The black Qi suddenly surged, wrapping its entire body like ink! A thick, fishy scent of water permeated the hall, mixed with a faint, elusive Dragon might.

Then, the black Qi slowly dissipated.

On the table, the Seven-Star Bass King lay quietly, no longer struggling.

Its appearance had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering transformation.

The originally round and stout fish body had become slender, with an elegant, streamlined shape like an eel; dense, sharp long teeth had grown in its fish mouth, glinting with a cold light;

Two long whiskers extended from in front of its mouth, swaying slightly like Dragon whiskers; the scales all over its body had changed from silver-white to a dull, dark iron color, shimmering with a metallic luster;

The seven silver-white spots on its back had now transformed into seven deep blue light spots, like stars in the deep sea, hidden among the black scales.

It no longer looked like a fish.

Instead, it looked like a young Flood Dragon.

Ye Changge stepped forward, extended his Divine Sense, and carefully sensed it.

A moment later, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"It is done."

"Black Water Flood Dragon Fish Dao Soldier, a Medium Grade First-Tier Yao Beast."

Although it was only a Medium Grade First-Tier, its strength was still pitifully weak, but it had leaped from an ordinary spirit fish directly into a true Yao Beast!

Such an improvement was by no means small.

However, Ye Changge could also see that the Fusion of this fish king had been extremely strained.

The previous compression of flesh and blood and the elevation of spirituality had almost cost it half its life. The weak aura on the fish's body clearly needed a long time to recover.

"It seems that in the future, I must find aquatic Yao Beasts with a higher concentration of Dragon blood."

Ye Changge muttered to himself, and a thought emerged in his mind.

"I wonder how effective that Dragon Carp, which only appears once every ten years in the lake, would be? Just hearing the name, one knows the Dragon blood should be more concentrated."

He shook his head, temporarily suppressing this thought.

He immediately raised his hand to cast a spell, and a ray of spiritual light entered the body of the newborn Dao Soldier. The Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldier was lifted by the spiritual light,

and flew out of the hall with Ye Changge, arriving once again above the lake water of Longmai Mountain.

Ye Changge flipped his wrist and sent the Dao Soldier into the water.

The moment the Dao Soldier entered the water, it immediately regained its freedom of movement. Its slender body swayed flexibly in the water, like a bolt of black lightning, instantly darting into the deep water area.

Ye Changge closed his eyes and sensed for a while. A thread of Divine Sense connection had been established between him and the Dao Soldier; although it was still very weak, he could vaguely perceive the other's position and state.

He soon frowned.

After the Dao Soldier entered the water, it immediately began to hunt.

And its target was very clear—

It specifically targeted those expensive Seven-Star Bass and Blood-Rich Bass!

One palm-sized spirit fish after another was bitten by its sharp, tooth-filled fish mouth and swallowed into its belly in just a few bites, at an astonishing speed.

Ye Changge's mouth twitched.

A single Seven-Star Bass was worth twenty or thirty Spirit Stones. The Blood-Rich Bass was even more expensive.

At this rate of eating, within three days, it would consume nearly half of the spirit fish stock in this body of water!

"This will not do."

He hurriedly cast a spell, and a ray of spiritual light reached into the water, scooping up the Dao Soldier that was happily eating.

"It seems this thing cannot be left to roam freely in the lake. Otherwise, with each bite costing twenty or thirty Spirit Stones, which Family could afford to feed it like this?"

Ye Changge held the Dao Soldier, which was still flicking its tail as if wanting more, in mid-air. Looking at its expression of "I am not full yet," he shook his head helplessly.

"Moreover, with its strength, it might even harm the fishermen catching fish in the water."

He pondered for a moment, and a plan formed in his mind.

"It seems I must carve out a special area in the lake to keep these Dao Soldiers separately. I will set up a Restriction around it to prevent them from escaping, and also to prevent them from harming other spirit fish."

"As for feeding..."

Ye Changge looked down at the slender, eel-like Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldier in his hand with its terrifying, sharp teeth, and sighed.

"It seems that in the future, I will have to prepare more flesh and blood of low-tier Yao Beasts to raise these guys."

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and flew back to the Changge Hall while carrying the Dao Soldier.

Inside the hall, he examined the Dao Soldier that had quieted down and was obediently coiled on the jade platform for a moment, and suddenly, a thought stirred in his heart.

"Since your Fusion was so strained..."

Ye Changge whispered thoughtfully.

"Then if I find a Yao Beast with more concentrated Dragon blood, such as that Dragon Carp, and then extract the spell seal that has not yet fully fused within you, and re-implant it into the Dragon Carp..."

"Would it be possible to cultivate a more powerful Dao Soldier?"

Once this thought arose, it took root in his mind.

He looked at the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldier coiled on the jade platform, then at the vast, green lake water outside the hall, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into an arc.

"Interesting."

"This matter is not urgent."

"First, let you recover properly for a period of time, and by the way, I also need to prepare the Materials for refining that 'Dragon Ascension Pill.'"

"As for the Dragon Carp..."

He cast his gaze into the distance, deep in thought.

"When the timing is right, I will try it."

Ye Changge casually put the Black Water Flood Dragon Fish Dao Soldier into his beast-taming bag. A flash of spiritual light appeared at the bag's opening, and the Dao Soldier quieted down, curling up within the space inside the bag.

"I must refine a Dao Soldier Token as soon as possible."

He muttered to himself, his gaze thoughtful.

A Dao Soldier Token is something similar to a Beast-Taming Token; it is a core Magical Artifact used to control Dao Soldiers.

Once refined, not only can one issue commands to the Dao Soldier through the token, but one can also have the Dao Soldiers form ranks and battle formations, unleashing combat power far exceeding their individual strength.

More importantly—

If someone in the Ye Family practices the "Flood Dragon Code" in the future, they can merge their aura with that of the Dao Soldier. At that time, their cultivation will skyrocket, their combat power will multiply, and even killing enemies across higher ranks may not be impossible.
