Chapter 349: Dragon Pearl (×) Dragon Soul Pearl (√)
Bang--
Yun Ming fell from high altitude, crashing into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Valley with a thunderous boom.
Fortunately, when he made his move, Yun Ming had considered the possibility of completely losing control of his body and specifically chose this location. Otherwise, if he had fallen directly into the Magma Lake or plummeted from the sky onto the horizon, he would have undoubtedly perished. As it stood, although he had temporarily lost control of his body due to the extreme overload, his consciousness remained relatively clear.
Enduring the pain radiating from every part of his body, Yun Ming gazed at the cloudless sky where the smoke and mist had finally dissipated, whispering softly.
"Life is truly full of surprises."
He wasn't sure if he should consider himself unlucky; he had only intended to nurture the Golden Tree, yet he ended up encountering such a situation. Fortunately, Yang Wudi had left over an hour ago; otherwise, he might not have been able to protect Yang Wudi from the Fire Dragon King's final large-scale fire coverage.
With the matter concluded, Yun Ming stopped dwelling on it, held his breath, focused his mind, and began to regulate his internal state.
Using Internal Vision, Yun Ming 'looked' at his dim Yin Yang Dual Soul Core and his riddled internal organs and meridians, feeling quite helpless. It looked like he would have to spend another month or so recuperating.
Without further thought, Yun Ming mobilized the faint Soul Power within him, circulated his Meditation Method, and adjusted his internal breath.
The sun rose and the moon set, cycling in turn. It was unknown how many days had passed when Yun Ming opened his eyes.
"Hiss--"
The pain radiating from his body still caused Yun Ming to gasp involuntarily. His sound caught the attention of those nearby.
"Ming Er!"
Seeing Yun Ming awaken, Yang Wudi rushed forward.
Two days had passed since Yun Ming's battle ended. Two days ago, after being driven out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by Yun Ming, Yang Wudi had no choice but to return home to heal as instructed. However, he had barely traveled a few dozen miles when he sensed terrifying energy fluctuations from the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the likes of which he had never seen before. He even witnessed the Fire Dragon King's final ultimate move, which could be described as Heavenly Fire Burns the World. How could Yang Wudi sit idly by? He rushed back, refusing to believe it was a coincidence that the area fell into chaos right after Yun Ming arrived.
Leaping over the Magma Lake and returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, what he saw and heard did not exceed his expectations. Yun Ming had indeed fought someone and was covered in wounds. If he hadn't sensed that Yun Ming was regulating his own internal breath and wasn't injured to the point of total exhaustion, he wouldn't have allowed Yun Ming to stay on this peak for two whole days.
"Grandfather."
Yun Ming responded. He wasn't surprised that Yang Wudi was here; after all, the commotion was too great to go unnoticed, especially since Yang Wudi was quite close. Moreover, Yang Wudi wasn't the only one who sensed something was wrong; people from the nearby Heaven Dou City had also discovered the anomaly and came to investigate, though Yang Wudi had handled them all.
After Yang Wudi gave a grunt of acknowledgment, he didn't say anything else. His hands moved incessantly as he hurriedly began to check Yun Ming's injuries and apply medicinal treatment. Yun Ming remained silent, letting Yang Wudi handle him, only stopping when Yun Ming was wrapped in bandages from head to toe, save for his face.
After taking the healing medicine, Yun Ming felt the pain in his body significantly subside and his chaotic internal breath stabilize. Feeling a bit more spirited, he spoke again.
"Thank you, Grandfather. I've made you worry."
"Who did this? Are they still alive?" Yang Wudi's face was cold as frost, his tone filled with murderous intent.
Yang Wudi clearly didn't care about Yun Ming's thanks right now; he only cared about who had hurt his grandson. Yun Ming was severely injured, which made his blood boil. He only wanted to know who that person was. If they were dead, they got off easy; if they were still alive, Yang Wudi would help them along.
Yang Wudi's intentions were obvious, and Yun Ming understood them well. He explained slowly.
"They are as good as dead."
As he spoke, Yun Ming told him everything that had happened after Yang Wudi left.
Hearing that there were such secrets hidden within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yang Wudi was exceptionally astonished.
After telling Yang Wudi the cause and effect, silver soul light surged around Yun Ming's body as he slowly rose to his feet.
"Why are you getting up? Lie back down!" Yang Wudi exclaimed upon seeing this.
"Don't worry, Grandfather, I'm fine."
Yun Ming was using his Space Power to physically manipulate his body's movements. He was very careful with his power control, ensuring his injuries remained stable and that he wouldn't suffer any secondary damage.
Even so, Yang Wudi couldn't watch Yun Ming perform such 'high-risk operations.' This had nothing to do with his Title Douluo cultivation, but rather the deep bond between grandfather and grandson. While carefully supporting Yun Ming with his Soul Power to alleviate the pressure on him, he spoke up.
"Don't move. Just tell me what you need."
Seeing the nervous expression on Yang Wudi's face, Yun Ming felt a warmth in his heart and didn't refuse.
"Then please, Grandfather, help me retrieve those two dragon pearls."
The majesty of the Fire Dragon King was, in Yun Ming's opinion, in no way inferior to Poseidon. He was very curious about the dragon pearls left behind by such two dragon kings.
Yang Wudi had no objections to Yun Ming's request. He flipped his wrist, aimed his palm at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and released a suction force.
Whoosh, whoosh--
Two piercing sounds reached his ears. Following the direction of the sound, Yun Ming saw a red and a blue orb fly up from the bottom of the valley, landing obediently in Yang Wudi's hands.
Yang Wudi looked at the two dragon pearls with a complex expression. He had discovered them when he returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well two days ago. Because the aura of these two pearls was extremely restrained and they couldn't be placed into a Storage Soul Tool, Yang Wudi knew they were highly unusual, but he hadn't expected them to be this extraordinary.
"..."
Before handing the items to Yun Ming, Yang Wudi reminded him to be careful. Only after Yun Ming gave his repeated assurance that he wouldn't act rashly did he receive them.
Looking at the Fire Dragon Pearl on the right, which had an even dimmer glow, Yun Ming closed his eyes. Faint golden light could be seen circulating in the depths of his eyes as a thin thread of Spiritual Power probed into it. He was very curious about the essence of this object.
Following the cracks covering the dragon pearl, Yun Ming's Spiritual Power easily delved inside. But before long, Yun Ming let out a muffled groan.
"Ming Er!"
Seeing the sudden change, Yang Wudi cried out in alarm, quickly pulling the two dragon pearls away to check on Yun Ming's condition.
"What's wrong? Where are you hurt?"
Yang Wudi was anxious; had he known this would happen, he wouldn't have given the items to Yun Ming.
At this moment, Yun Ming slowly opened his eyes and spoke calmly.
"It's alright, Grandfather. I only lost some Spiritual Power; I wasn't injured."
After confirming that Yun Ming was truly unhurt, Yang Wudi breathed a sigh of relief and asked for the specifics. He could tell that although Yun Ming's tone was calm, the excitement within it was difficult to suppress.
"Is there something special about these Dragon Pearl?"
'Something special,' Yun Ming recalled what he had witnessed before his Spiritual Power was consumed by Destruction, and he smiled as he spoke.
"They are indeed quite special. Beyond the massive amount of Dragon Force inside them, they also contain a Dragon Soul."
