: A Fish Among the Stars Transforms into a Dragon

The Spirit Transmission Tower, the Soul Archives.

In a room filled with technological aesthetics, Leng Yaozhu calmly operated the Soul Guidance Large Screen, performing the initial screening of soul spirits for the Ancient Hunter.

"Your martial soul is a dragon with earth attributes, so I suggest you choose a dragon-type soul spirit, or a high-quality earth-attribute soul spirit."

"However, Ancient Hunter, based on your understanding of your Garchomp spirit, do you have your own thoughts?"

As she spoke, Leng Yaozhu had already selected dozens of spirits and left their photos and biographies on the left side of the screen.

Gu Lie, on the other hand, was looking at the information of those spirits with great seriousness, pondering how they could help him.

"The Garchomp Spirit is not lacking in combat skills, and its attack range is excellent."

"Although it doesn't have Dragon Dance, the signature move of Dragon-type Pokémon, nor does it have highly efficient boosting moves like Earth Control, Quiver Dance, Victory Dance, or Firefly, it's still sufficient overall."

"As for enhancing the power of dragon bloodlines and earth-type power, these are not things that Garchomp needs. Even if it had them, they might not be useful. On the contrary, they would have an additional weakness that would cause it to automatically weaken when facing the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings."

"Aside from that Kamen Rider who keeps talking about 1000%, no one with a sound mind would choose to find a domineering father for themselves."

"Then, what I should choose is not ordinary soul spirits that follow the rules, but special soul spirits with unique skills, or even indomitable soul spirits."

Gu Lie carefully examined the information about the spirits, reading at an increasingly faster pace.

These spirits are top-grade for most dragon spirit masters and spirit masters with earth attribute martial souls, but after careful consideration, Gu Lie decided to exclude them from his selection range.

Gu Lie was certain that Garchomp would not be affected by the power of the Gold and Silver Dragon King bloodline, and would not be in a situation where it would be weakened by three points during battle, or even unable to use its martial spirit.

However, if the Ancient Hunter absorbs dragon souls, or souls created based on the soul beasts of this world, then the Ancient Hunter will likely have an additional weakness.

That would be putting the cart before the horse.

After thinking these things through, Gu Lie immediately raised his hand to signal.

"Teacher, I want to see those indomitable spirits, especially those with special abilities."

"Gu Lie, are you really sure? Unyielding spirits are extremely volatile beings, and even spirit masters with stronger mental power find them difficult to tame."

Leng Yaozhu stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked seriously into Gu Lie's eyes.

"Absolutely, definitely, and certainly!"

"Regarding the issue of the Unyielding Spirit's volatile temperament, teacher, my Garchomp spirit and I will definitely be able to overcome it!"

"I am my teacher's personally trained disciple, and I aspire to become a true man. I absolutely cannot let an indomitable spirit tarnish my reputation!"

Facing Leng Yaozhu's gaze, Gu Lie stood up, patted his chest, and then pointed to himself with a thumbs-up, looking smug.

Seeing Gu Lie in this state, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

This vibrant feeling reminded her of her former sweetheart.

But for some reason, Gu Lie gave her a stronger feeling than the impression of her former crush, and was even more... outstanding.

"Okay, I support you."

Without any hesitation, Leng Yaozhu quickly retrieved all the information on the unyielding souls of the past century and neatly arranged them on the soul guide screen, making it convenient for the ancient hunter to make a selection.

"Hmm... this one is too weak, this one only knows how to brute force, this one is not suitable..."

Gu Lie's gaze swept across the screen once more, filtering out the unyielding spirits that he did not approve of.

Soon, his gaze was drawn to a golden fish.

It looks a bit like a koi fish or a golden river tiger, the kind that looks like it could sell for a lot of money.

"Unyielding Soul NO.39, Golden Koi, 600 years of cultivation."

"Possessing immense power and pure water attributes, and imbued with auspicious energy, it can protect the spirit beasts of a region."

"But perhaps due to the mutation, it completely lacks dragon bloodline and has absolutely no possibility of transforming into a dragon..."

"No dragon bloodline?! Haha, I've found it!"

"I choose you! Pikachu!"

Upon seeing the description of the golden fish, Gu Lie was overjoyed.

Possessing auspicious power and lacking dragon blood, this is simply the most suitable soul for him, Gu Lie.

As we all know, luck is also a part of strength, and in Pokémon battles, luck can often determine the outcome of many battles.

For example, will a skill with a low hit rate miss? Will the skill's additional effects trigger? Will it hit a vital point without special preparation?

With auspicious power protecting them, the ancient hunters can have more confidence.

As for whether this golden koi can transform into a dragon... what does it have to do with the dragon bloodline of Douluo Continent, since it doesn't have the dragon attribute of my Pokémon?

With Garchomp's help, it's not difficult for the Golden Koi to transform into a Dragon and acquire the Dragon attribute.

After all, the dragons in Pokémon are a diverse group; not only can a very tall coconut tree be a dragon, but something that looks like sashimi can also be a dragon.

Not long after, the indomitable spirit, the golden koi, was pushed in by the staff of the Spirit Pagoda, imprisoned in a powerful, specially made cage that resembled a large glass fish tank.

Gu Lie had already composed himself and calmly walked towards the cage containing the golden koi.

Leng Yaozhu was about to give a few more words of advice, but seeing Gu Lie's serious expression, she ultimately chose to trust him.

Gu Lie walked steadily to the cage, squatted down, rested his left hand on his knee, and pointed his right hand directly at the golden koi in the fish tank.

Although it may seem like just imitating an adult's actions, which would normally only make people laugh, Gu Lie's steady movements and serious expression at this moment made Leng Yaozhu and the staff of the Spirit Pagoda feel a kind of domineering aura.

The golden koi carp seemed to be intimidated by the domineering aura emanating from the ancient hunter, turning its body to face him directly.

Although fish shouldn't theoretically be able to see the scenery directly in front of them, golden koi are considered auspicious creatures and are naturally not subject to this restriction.

"A fish among the stars transforms into a dragon."

"I ask you, do you want to break through the limitations of your bloodline and truly transform into a dragon?"

"If you'd like, come with me!"

A layer of fine, dark blue scales gradually covered the ancient hunter's exposed skin, and his outstretched hand, pointing directly at the golden koi, transformed into a dragon claw.

Although dragon scales have covered Gu Lie's entire body, his body shape has not turned into a small chubby ball as before, which is a testament to the results of Leng Yaozhu's mini-class.

Seeing the changes in the ancient hunter and feeling the dragon aura it had never experienced before, the golden koi quickly made its decision.

After Leng Yaozhu signaled the staff to open the top of the cage, the golden koi made a dash, drawing a perfect golden curve in the air, and landed on Gu Lie's outstretched right arm.

Then, using Gu Lie's right arm as a fulcrum, it jumped onto Gu Lie's head, its movements showing affection and joy.
