“You’re not losing out either. Li Qi’s core veins have been given to you now. His years of comprehension have all merged with you. Your power will definitely grow explosively after this merger,” said Long Chen with a smile.

Song Mingyuan smiled. The foundation that Li Qi had built up over so many years had actually been transferred to him. He had also profited.

“With the addition of Li Qi’s power, your own cultivation direction also needs changing,” said Long Chen solemnly.

“What kind of change?”

Song Mingyuan was surprised. His power had already reached this point. Everything was already set. Changing direction at this time? It was almost impossible.

“If I recall correctly, your dragon soul is called the profound earth fortune dragon, correct?” asked Long Chen.

“Yes.” Song Mingyuan nodded.

“This dragon is an auspicious symbol in legends. It contains its own karmic luck when cultivating in dragon veins, and anywhere it goes becomes a land of fortune. The dragon of fortune, the dragon of the earth, the blessing of the land, the virtuous dragon…”

As Long Chen said this, Song Mingyuan’s heaven veins automatically appeared. They were drawn out by Long Chen’s words.

Song Mingyuan’s heaven veins transformed into a three-foot dragon that flew over to Long Chen. It actually rubbed its head against Long Chen’s shoulder.

“Damn, although he’s my boss, I’m still going to get jealous like this!” Seeing his dragon soul actually be so affectionate with Long Chen, Song Mingyuan couldn’t help cursing.

When they had undergone their merger, they became life and death companions. This was his closest battle companion.

It had to be known that every Dragonblood warrior had a dragon soul, and they were all different. They also didn’t communicate with each other.

However, now his dragon soul came out to express its affection for Long Chen. Song Mingyuan didn’t know what he felt about that.

Long Chen patted the dragon soul’s head and smiled. “It’s not that my brother doesn’t understand you, but that he also couldn’t do anything about it. As a captain of the Dragonblood Legion, he can’t just live for himself, but also for his brothers. Everyone dislikes killing, but we had no other  choice in order to live.”

The dragon soul nodded sadly. It slowly left Long Chen’s shoulder and returned to Song Mingyuan’s side, disappointed.

“However, that was in the past. Now it’s different. Mingyuan, in the future, don’t force yourself to kill if you don’t have to.” The dragon soul’s eyes brightened. It stared at Long Chen in disbelief.

Long Chen smiled. “Currently, of the four captains, three are now specialized in offense. What we need is a captain specialized in defense who can control the rhythm of the battle. In other words, the three of them will be in charge of attacking, while you will be in charge of defense. With this, the Dragonblood Legion will be capable of attacking and defending, advancing and retreating. Our endurance and safety are now guaranteed.”

The dragon soul’s whole body began to shine. Its eyes were full of disbelief.

“Of course it’s true,” said Long Chen.

The dragon soul was delighted by this. It spun around Long Chen several times before returning to Song Mingyuan’s body.

“Boss, can I really do this?” asked Song Mingyuan.

Long Chen nodded. “In the past, the Dragonblood Legion was focused on offense. But while our killing power was shocking, it also came with a high level of energy consumption. If we couldn’t beat our enemy in one go, we would be in danger. At that time, the Dragonblood Legion relied entirely on the four of you to support it. Not one of the four captains could be missing. However, now, the Dragonblood warriors have immense combat experience and their cooperation is flawless. With Guo Ran and Xia Chen directing them, that’s enough to control the tempo. That means that the four captains can now fightt freely. Your thick earth energy has the blessing of the fortune dragon’s soul. It dislikes killing, so it’s difficult for you to unleash its power for offensive purposes. But if you use its power for defense, it will be blessed by its fortune, and that will be the strongest defense of the Dragonblood Legion,” said Long Chen.

“Boss, I don’t quite understand? How is that different from before?”

Long Chen couldn’t help rolling his eyes. “Our healing warriors are wood element experts. They are the central pillar of the Dragonblood Legion. If anyone suffers any injury, they will be instantly healed by them. But their healing power is their core energy. Once exhausted, they won’t be able to heal anyone. Wood is born from the earth. You will not just be our greatest defense, you will also be able to provide earth energy to our healing warriors. They will not have limitless power through you as long as you have energy. With the fortune dragon’s blessing, their healing efficiency will also multiply. As long as they aren’t killed in one attack, the Dragonblood warriors will essentially have undying bodies thanks to this. Now do you understand?”

Song Mingyuan nodded. He finally understood. In other words, he would no longer need to directly fight anyone. He would be in charge of defense over the entire battlefield. If anything unexpected happens, he would protect everyone.

To kill was against the fortune dragon’s innate nature. But it could unleash its maximum power for defense. Its blessing was also a sacred kind of life qi, and greatly beneficial to the healing warriors.

“Although I’m a bit unwilling, I’ll listen to boss’s arrangements.” Song Mingyuan smiled somewhat bitterly.

As a captain of the Dragonblood Legion, he was always part of the vanguard. Now he became the backup on the battlefield. It did feel like a loss.

“Every person has their own role. This is yours. When you stop killing, your dragon soul will finally give you its true power. Only then can you perfectly merge. Get to know it properly,” said Long Chen.

Throughout the entire Dragonblood Legion, only Song Mingyuan’s dragon soul didn’t like killing. The others were all battle fanatics. Of course, Guo Ran’s hidden dragon was an exception. But it wasn’t that it didn’t like killing, it was just that it was too lazy.

Originally, when Long Chen first saw Xue Yingfeng, he was wondering who to give this opportunity to. But when he saw Song Mingyuan fighting afterwards, he knew that this fruit had to be given to Li Qi.

The fortune dragon’s power was unquestionable. But it did not approve of Song Mingyuan’s fighting style. Thus, its power was unable to show itself. Only by changing his fighting style could the fortune dragon’s power merge with Song Mingyuan’s power. If he were to go against its essence, it would only weaken him.

Now, Song Mingyuan and Li Qi’s paths were set. Long Chen was looking forward to their future.

Long Chen knew that from today onwards, the two of them would become the Dragonblood Legion’s strongest spear and shield.
