In this critical moment, Quan Yi's movements showed no sign of faltering.
He quickly swam upwards, while also preparing to activate his Sixth Soul Skill at any moment.
If there was even a slight sign of losing control, he would unleash Red Dragon Descent, consuming energy.
However, when his soul power reached its limit.
Nothing that Quan Yi worried about happened.
After the Red Dragon Horn's stored energy reached its limit, Quan Yi only felt an itch in the area of the skull connected to the dragon horn.
This was an itch that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, but with Quan Yi's willpower, this itch wasn't too much of a problem for him.
At the same time, Quan Yi discovered that after the Red Dragon Horn's storage reached its limit, it actually absorbed the extra energy as nourishment.
And the itching Quan Yi felt was a sign of the Red Dragon Horn growing.
Quan Yi stopped swimming, remaining at a depth of fifty meters.
He reached out and touched the Red Dragon Horn with his armored gauntlet.
Through touch, he found that the Red Dragon Horn seemed to be thicker.
No, it wasn't just seemed, the Red Dragon Horn had indeed become thicker, and this change was still ongoing.
The Red Dragon Horn was still releasing a terrifying suction force, and the energy it absorbed was clearly being used as nourishment for its growth.
Quan Yi finally understood the reason for the Red Dragon Horn's mutation.
Evolution.
The current situation was very similar to when Quan Yi's martial soul evolved.
The instinct for evolution drove the Red Dragon Horn to spontaneously enter the evolutionary process.
Realizing this, Quan Yi decided to stay here and wait for the external soul bone to complete its transformation.
Subsequently, Quan Yi stayed at fifty meters, watching the changes in the soul bone.
While Quan Yi was diving into the spring, Dugu Bo at the foot of the mountain was also undergoing his trial.
The time came to the third watch of the night.
The tingling sensation in the soles of Dugu Bo's feet and the top of his head arrived as scheduled.
The intense pain caused Dugu Bo's body to convulse uncontrollably.
Usually, at this time, Dugu Bo would hide here, quietly enduring the pain until it dissipated.
The pain lasted for about half an hour.
As long as he endured this half hour, there would be no major problems.
This caused him to be wary of the situation outside the cave while enduring the pain.
Half an hour passed.
Nothing happened.
Dugu Bo got up, tidied his clothes, and walked out of the cave.
The night outside was dark, Dugu Bo glanced at the bright moon, and a stiff smile appeared on his lips.
His eyes flickered, and at this moment his heart felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
This was because he saw hope.
And the one who brought hope was that little robber he hated.
Realizing this, Dugu Bo immediately withdrew his smile and snorted coldly.
He flew up to the top of the mountain, landed around the medicine garden, and checked the surrounding situation.
In the quiet space, there was only Dugu Bo and the sleeping Nine-Section Jade.
"Where did this kid go?"
Dugu Bo looked around, but couldn't find Quan Yi's figure.
He walked to the Fragrant绮罗 Immortal 품 and pinched the sleeping Nine-Section Jade with his fingers.
More than half an hour had passed, and the Nine-Section Jade's bulging belly had shrunk.
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze towards it was somewhat cold.
In the end, Dugu Bo still chose to spare this little traitor.
He shook the Nine-Section Jade with his fingers and asked, "Where did your new master go?"
The Nine-Section Jade was sleeping soundly when it was suddenly awakened by a huge force.
"Ka!"
The Nine-Section Jade angrily opened its small mouth, revealing its sharp fangs to Dugu Bo.
However, when it realized that the other party was Dugu Bo, it was instantly stunned.
It hurriedly closed its mouth, revealing an obedient expression.
Dugu Bo released a trace of killing intent towards the Nine-Section Jade, and then released it.
Under the crisis of life and death, the Nine-Section Jade followed its instinct and quickly scurried to Quan Yi's side as soon as it landed.
However, it discovered that Quan Yi's mental fluctuations were actually coming from below the dangerous spring water.
Dugu Bo, who followed behind, saw that the Nine-Section Jade stopped by the spring water and looked at the spring water.
He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Could it be inside? No, impossible!
This spring water is something even I can't stay in for long."
Dugu Bo stood on the shore, looking into the spring water.
Through the boiling spring water, he saw a shadow, and not only that, he also noticed that the temperature of the red spring water was higher than usual.
"This kid is really inside.
How did he do it?"
Dugu Bo was extremely shocked and couldn't accept it for a while.
Quan Yi, who was in the spring water, discovered Dugu Bo through the fire element's vision.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Anyway, Dugu Bo couldn't come in, so he focused more on the Red Dragon Horn.
More than half an hour passed, and Quan Yi's Red Dragon Horn slowly grew from its initial four inches in length to six inches, which is about sixty centimeters.
Not only that, as the length increased, the base of the forehead also expanded.
The area of the itching sensation continued to expand, even exceeding the area of the base of the dragon horn.
With the base of the dragon horn as the center, the itching sensation spread in all directions.
The entire forehead, the area around the eyes, and even the face below the eye sockets began to itch.
Feeling the abnormality, Quan Yi couldn't help but touch the skin around his eyes with his hand.
However, to Quan Yi's surprise, he discovered that the itchy area felt like touching something hard.
He rubbed back and forth with his fingertips, and found that around the Red Dragon Horn, Quan Yi's skin had turned into uneven scaly skin.
From the outside, Quan Yi's eye sockets were covered with crystal-clear vermilion dragon scales.
Moreover, this itching sensation was still constantly progressing deeper into the face.
These dragon scales were like exquisite eye masks, covering the upper part of his face.
Realizing this, Quan Yi immediately realized that the Red Dragon Horn's evolutionary direction seemed to be moving towards deepening the dragonification.
In the first evolution, the Red Dragon Horn absorbed Quan Yi's ultimate fire attribute energy, logically, even if it came to the spring water this time, it shouldn't bring such a huge change.
Could it be that there are some unknown factors in this spring water affecting the Red Dragon Horn?
Quan Yi felt such a doubt in his heart?
Time gradually passed, and the Red Dragon Horn's evolutionary process lasted until dawn.
At this time, Quan Yi only felt a sharp pain in his entire eye socket.
This pain initially only stayed in the eye bone area, but gradually, the pain began to flow into the inside of the eyeball.
This feeling was like someone constantly stabbing his eyes with needles inside the eyeball.
Faced with this pain, even the strong Quan Yi couldn't help but close his eyes.
This pain lasted for two or three hours.
During this period, Quan Yi had no extra energy to pay attention to the evolution of the soul bone.
The soul bone evolution lasted for more than four hours.
The Red Dragon Horn finally stopped absorbing the energy of the spring water, and the pain in Quan Yi's eyes had also dissipated.
Suddenly, a pair of golden vertical pupils slowly opened, and the brilliant golden light penetrated the dragon scale mask covering the upper half of his face.
