It Came Out?

"First, your First Soul Skill is a Domain Type. More importantly, your Ultimate Ice comes with an Ice Poison effect."

"Once an opponent comes into contact with your ice, it will begin invading their body, forming an Ice Poison that gradually devours their Soul Power."

"In other words, in a battle of attrition, with the advantage of Ice Poison, you could almost be called invincible. Not to mention that your First Soul Skill is a domain."

Leng Yaozhu walked over to Lu Jun and patted him on the shoulder.

"It seems your Martial Soul Potential is even greater than I imagined. I never expected Ultimate Ice to carry Ice Poison as well."

Lu Jun put away the Ice Abyss Sword. Having learned the exact effects of his soul skill, his little face was somewhat excited, though he still said calmly:

"Thank you, Sister Leng."

"Don't be in such a hurry. I'm not finished yet. More importantly, the hardness of the ice you create with your Soul Power is determined by your Soul Power."

Seeing Lu Jun act like such a little adult, Leng Yaozhu could not help reaching out and pinching his cheek.

Lu Jun: "..."

"Simply put, as long as your Soul Power is not depleted, your ice cannot be shattered."

"That is already an incredibly powerful trait. I truly never imagined your Martial Soul could be this formidable. Even Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Attribute from ten thousand years ago was inferior to yours."

This was undoubtedly another enormous surprise.

As Leng Yaozhu looked at Lu Jun, it was as though she were looking at a treasure with limitless potential.

If she could nurture him properly... then he would become the Yun Ming of the next era!

Yun Ming, known as the Number One Person Under Heaven, was the only human in this era capable of defeating Emperor Beast Di Tian.

One could only imagine how powerful that was.

"Since I can't have Yun Ming... then I'll create another Yun Ming myself."

"Si-Sister Leng... it hurts."

Lu Jun's face had turned red from Leng Yaozhu's pinching.

"Ah, sorry." Only then did Leng Yaozhu let go, patting Lu Jun on the head.

"Today's lesson is over. Go home and cultivate first. I still have work to do, but I'll continue guiding you when I get back."

"O-Okay."

Lu Jun rubbed his reddened cheek. Just now, he had noticed that the way Leng Yaozhu looked at him seemed a little off.

She couldn't be raising me as Yun Ming, could she?

No way. Leng Yaozhu should not be twisted enough to raise her secret crush as a son.

With that thought in mind, Lu Jun went home alone.

On the way, Gu Yue Na had originally stopped him, intending to improve their relationship. Yet Lu Jun wore a cold expression and merely asked, "What is it?" The strange atmosphere made even Gu Yue Na unable to continue talking to him for a moment.

It made Gu Yue Na begin to doubt herself.

"Am I not cute?"

Gu Yue Na took out her Soul Guidance Communication device, opened the camera mode, and looked at her current appearance.

"Miss, what is it?"

The woman beside her, disguised as Gu Yue Na's guardian, could not help asking when she saw what Gu Yue Na was doing.

Gu Yue Na was silent for a while before getting into the luxurious private car with her. Then she asked:

"...Zi Ji, what do you think of my appearance?"

"Miss, this is a human city. For the sake of the plan, please do not call me by my real name, or your identity may be exposed." Zi Ji gave her a somewhat helpless reminder.

Still, she found it very strange that Gu Yue Na would ask such a question.

"And Miss, why would you ask that?"

"I think you are very cute. By human standards, you are absolutely beautiful. Miss, you would definitely be very popular."

Zi Ji spoke earnestly as she drove.

At first, she had found the Silver Dragon King immensely majestic.

But after she transformed into a child again...

Seeing Gu Yue Na in the appearance of a child, Zi Ji had always wanted to find an opportunity to secretly pinch her cheeks.

But Zi Ji sternly forbade herself from doing so.

That was the Silver Dragon King, their Lord. How could she commit such an offense?

"Popular?"

Gu Yue Na looked at her little face through the reflection in the car window.

"I don't think so."

If she really were popular, how could Lu Jun have been so cold toward her?

At this rate, wouldn't Plan B—Operation Make Friends—go completely down the drain?

Without Lu Jun's help, how could she better advance toward the God Realm?

The power of a Super Divine Artifact was not to be underestimated. If he still leaned toward the God Realm, it would be far too disadvantageous for them.

Gu Yue Na looked at Zi Ji, who was still chattering endlessly about how cute she was.

Her small lips parted, but she hesitated.

Yet when the words reached her mouth, she could not bring herself to ask.

She really wanted to ask Zi Ji how she could build a good relationship with a human.

Even if it was just becoming friends.

That way, the Good Friend Battle Royale plan would succeed. As a friend, Lu Jun would surely help them.

But she could not ask!

She was the Silver Dragon King, the Co-Lord of Spirit Beasts!

As their Lord, how could she expose her confusion before her subordinates?

That would damage her dignity!

Gu Yue Na lightly bit her red lip and gazed at the scenery beyond the car window.

It was a little tricky, but it would be fine...

Suddenly, Gu Yue Na seemed to remember something.

Right, Di Tian had told her that human technology was developing rapidly nowadays, and that the Soul Guidance Network held a vast amount of information. If she wanted to know something, she only needed to search for it online.

Thus, Gu Yue Na, the Silver Dragon King and lord of the spirit beasts, took out her Soul Guidance Communication device and opened a website.

In the search bar, she typed, "How do I build a good relationship with someone?"

"How can I become good friends with him?"

"How do I close the distance between people?"

Through the rearview mirror, Zi Ji, who was driving, noticed Gu Yue Na staring intently at her Soul Guidance Communication device. She inwardly marveled that the Lord truly was the Lord—was she still thinking about how to arrange their plans even during this time of rest?

As expected of you, my Lord!

Lu Jun returned home with exhaustion written all over his face.

Although he had learned from Leng Yaozhu that the effect of his First Soul Skill was indeed extremely powerful, it consumed far too much Soul Power.

The feeling of having both body and mind drained dry was not pleasant.

Lu Jun scratched his head. Come to think of it, hadn't he refused Gu Yue Na's invitation to chat on the way back?

Forget it. It did not matter. What he needed to do now was cultivate properly!

Only by becoming stronger could he remember more things.

"Cultivate, cultivate!"

Lu Jun turned on the air conditioner at home and lowered it to the minimum temperature. Then, he found a suitable spot in the living room and sat down cross-legged to meditate.

This was Leng Yaozhu's home, a three-story villa. The environment could not have been better.

Since it was summer, Lu Jun could only lower the air conditioner to its coldest setting to create a Mimicry Environment and help himself recover Soul Power.

However, before his meditation had even lasted a minute, Lu Jun suddenly felt as though something inside his body was about to come out.

"What's going on?"

Lu Jun abruptly opened his eyes and lowered his head.

"Wait, not this..."

"It's—it's coming out!!"

The next moment, a cool voice echoed through Lu Jun's mind:

"...What is so strange about this emperor coming out of your body?"
