Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 60 Commitment

"Huff... huff..."

In the deep ravine, the cold wind howled.

Cold!

A cold that penetrated to the marrow!

Qin Qing moved his eyes.

At this moment, he felt that of his entire body, only his eyes were able to move.

Gong Yanghe beside him was not faring much better.

Both of them had frozen into ice sculptures.

Crack... crack...

Both of them simultaneously cycled the spiritual power within their bodies.

Qin Qing strained to raise his hand, kick his legs, and finally, there was a sound of cracking in the ice covering his body.

A moment later.

With a loud blast. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

All the ice on his body shattered.

Gong Yanghe also broke free from the shackles of the ice.

Both of them exchanged glances, filled with retrospective fear.

It was lucky they were at a considerable distance; otherwise, they would have truly become ice sculptures.

At this moment, the entire ravine, as far as the eye could see, was covered in ice.

The most shocking thing was that the Thunderous Black Wolf in the void was completely frozen, suspended in midair. Its every black hair stood erect, wrapped in a layer of ice, its nose, eyes, and mouth all sealed in ice, making it look like a lifelike sculpture.

"Is it dead?" Gong Yanghe asked in a low voice.

Inside the deep ravine was unnaturally silent, except for the occasional wind, only Gong Yanghe’s voice echoed.

Qin Qing shook his head.

He did not know whether the Thunderous Black Wolf was dead.

"It’s not dead yet!"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came through.

Qin Qing was startled.

The next instant, a streak of white light flew towards them.

This white light turned out to be the Ice Flood Dragon, but—this time, the Ice Flood Dragon had shrunk thousands of times, to about the size of an arm.

"Is this—Nascent Soul?"

Qin Qing was astonished.

Just like the old ancestors of the martial arts from the Human Race, the Ancestral Beasts also cultivated the existence of Nascent Souls.

A Nascent Soul could travel through the skies and burrow into the earth, cultivating the power of the Primordial Spirit.

However, at this moment, the Nascent Soul of the Ice Flood Dragon appeared extremely weak, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Human!"

The Nascent Soul of the Flood Dragon flew in front of Qin Qing and Gong Yanghe and suddenly spoke. The voice was heavy, but also revealed a profound sense of weakness: "I am going to die."

"My Essence Core is exhausted, and my Primordial Spirit is also about to collapse."

"Here is my last drop of Essence Blood, which contains my Primordial Spirit’s imprint."

"You can only enter my lair by merging with my Essence Core and refining the Primordial Spirit’s imprint!"

"In my lair, there is a Dragon Origin Grass. Human, I can sense that within you, there is the bloodline of the dragon. But it has not yet truly awakened... If you have this Dragon Origin Grass, you can undergo a body transformation, awaken the bloodline of the dragon, and achieve the Dragon Blood Physique!"

Qin Qing felt his heart stir.

"Dragon Origin Grass? Awaken the bloodline of the dragon, achieve the Dragon Blood Physique?"

Since the awakening of the Dragon Soul, Qin Qing felt his physical body had undergone tempering, as if he had experienced a body transformation.

But somewhere within, there was a power he was unable to awaken.

"So it is because the bloodline of the dragon has not truly awakened."

Gong Yanghe’s eyes widened, "Qin Qing, there’s a bloodline of the dragon within you?"

"Legend has it that in the Primordial Era, not only could one become a saint through Martial Soul cultivation, but also by cultivating one’s Physical Body to the ultimate extent!"

"Therefore, during the Primordial Era, there were various magical physiques, and the Dragon Blood Physique was one of the ten great divine physiques!"

Qin Qing looked at Gong Yanghe in amazement.

These, Qin Qing really did not know.

A saintly Physical Body? The ten great divine physiques?

Qin Qing had never heard of such things.

"If you can successfully transform into the Dragon Blood Physique, I, Gong Yanghe, am willing to acknowledge you as the leader," Gong Yanghe added.

Qin Qing pondered and then looked at the White Flood Dragon, "You wouldn’t have me do this for no reason, right?"

There must be a price to pay for any benefit.

Qin Qing didn’t believe that the Ice Flood Dragon, a complete stranger, would offer such a great benefit directly to him.

"Of course," the Ice Flood Dragon nodded slowly, its dragon whiskers swaying gently in the void, "I have a request, hoping you could help me take care of my child."

"Your child?" Qin Qing frowned slightly.

"Yes, my child, who was born not long ago. It hasn’t hatched yet and is still in the nest... This time, the Black Wolf took advantage of my weakness after giving birth to try to kill me!"

Qin Qing and Gong Yanghe exchanged glances; it seemed they had guessed this correctly.

The Ice Flood Dragon was indeed in a weakened state, not due to injury, but because it had just given birth.

Like humans, female Ferocious Beasts also have a period of weakness after giving birth, and this period is often longer than that of humans.

"Additionally, before that, you must kill that Black Wolf as soon as possible!" the Ice Flood Dragon said again.

"What? The Thunderous Black Wolf isn’t dead?" Gong Yanghe’s face changed dramatically.

"Not yet dead. It is only temporarily sealed by my Ice Power. You must kill it before it breaks free from the seal!"

The breath of the Ice Flood Dragon grew weaker and weaker.

The Nascent Soul apparition also became more blurred, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Now, you must swear to kill the Black Wolf and take good care of my child. Otherwise, my Primordial Spirit’s mark will burn with the Essence Blood and be completely destroyed. You will also be unable to enter my lair!"

Qin Qing stepped forward and nodded slightly.

He was somewhat moved.

Because he remembered the mournful cry of the Ice Flood Dragon when he and Gong Yanghe had tried to enter its lair.

In that cry, Qin Qing had felt a deep sorrow and lamentation.

So it was worry for her child that troubled the Ice Flood Dragon...

Indeed, there’s nothing so tender as a parent’s heart.

Even for Ferocious Beasts.

A tiger doesn’t eat its cubs!

This Ice Flood Dragon, preferring to die rather than escape, used up its last bit of Essence Core to seal the Thunderous Black Wolf, all in the hope that her child could continue to live...

Otherwise, if it had wanted to flee, there certainly would have been no problem.

"I promise you! I swear I will kill the Black Wolf and take good care of your child!"

Qin Qing said solemnly.

As Qin Qing finished speaking, the Nascent Soul of the Flood Dragon began to transform into specks of light and then disappeared completely.

However, before she disappeared, Qin Qing saw relief and expectation in her eyes...

The Ice Flood Dragon could no longer see her child, but she saw the hope for her child’s survival, so her departure was without regret...

A drop of crimson Essence Blood floated in front of Qin Qing.

"This is Flood Dragon’s Essence Blood, Qin Qing, you’ve struck it rich this time. Not to mention the full activation of your Dragon Blood Physique by refining the Dragon Origin Grass, just this drop of Flood Dragon’s Essence Blood is enough to hugely upgrade your Physical Body!" Gong Yanghe said, not without envy.

"How about... I give it to you?" Qin Qing glared at Gong Yanghe.

"I would want it, but it would be useless for you to give it to me. I don’t have the bloodline of the dragon in my body, so I have no way to refine it!" Gong Yanghe rubbed his hands helplessly, looking frustrated.

"Let’s first take down that Thunderous Black Wolf!" Qin Qing’s gaze shifted upward.

The massive Thunderous Black Wolf, like an ancient ice sculpture, hovered in the void.

"Crack!"

A thick layer of ice suddenly cracked open on the body of the Thunderous Black Wolf...
