Purple Emperor's Roar

"When did you make so much money? Was it all just from forging?" The evening sky was clear, and the lights along Soul Guidance Road illuminated the passersby.

In response to Ya Li's question, Gu You put on a mysterious air. "Take a guess."

"Tch!"

Finally free, Gu You rolled his shoulders. So much had happened today. After straightening the gleaming four-and-a-half-star badge on his lapel, he spotted a familiar figure by Sea God Lake.

Na'er?

What was she doing here? Gu You found it strange. Could seeing his Martial Soul today have made the Silver Dragon King's companion crash?

Thump!

Na'er jolted and looked at Gu You, who had plopped down beside her. Her feet, which had been constantly stirring the lake water, stopped as well.

"Are you an orphan too?" Gu You intended to keep up the act to the end.

"Mm." Her voice was light and clear, devoid of any emotion. Gu You glanced sideways at her. Time seemed to stop. Na'er was truly beautiful. Silver moonlight paired with silver hair, reflected by the waters of Sea God Lake, made her seem even more ethereal. It was a pure, heaven-and-earth kind of beauty, as though no girl in this world could compare to the young girl before him.

"I don't know what you went through before, but it's better to let it all go. There's no need to be sad over miserable experiences. Just think, if you were a little sunnier and more mischievous, wouldn't that be great..." Gu You said softly.

Forget? Could she really forget everything she had gone through with him...?

At that thought, a few tears slipped from Na'er's eyes.

"You..." Gu You did not know what else to say.

"Don't be like this! I don't know how to comfort girls. How about I take you out for something delicious tomorrow? Even if it empties my wallet, I'll do it." Gu You panicked.

But Na'er cried even harder.

Seriously?!

Gu You was speechless inside, but on second thought, his words had indeed stirred up Na'er.

Amid the unending sound of her sobbing, Gu You vaguely heard the word "brother."

Thinking back to the original story, it was somewhat tragic...

"Na'er, your brother would be sad to see you like this." Gu You unleashed his ultimate move, killing two birds with one stone.

Just as expected, Na'er paused and gave a soft hum.

Got her!

Just a little love-struck girl, and she dared contend with Gu You? How dare she?

The alarm rang. Gu You stretched lazily. That had been a truly comfortable sleep. Opening the window, a rich aura of life washed over him. He was inside Sea God Pavilion, in a house Ya Li had specifically arranged for him. It was close to the Golden Ancient Tree and highly suitable for cultivation.

As he slowly waited for the sun to rise, Gu You decided to try cultivating Purple Emperor's Roar while there was still a quarter of an hour left. The original story had described some of its cultivation methods. The main reason was that its enhancement of Spiritual Power was simply absurd. Gu You intended to secretly learn it. It was indeed somewhat immoral, but he still wanted to try. If he succeeded, he succeeded. If not, that would be even better.

Every morning, before the sun rose, a pale strip of dawn would appear in the eastern sky. When it appeared, it would be accompanied by a wisp of purple qi. Purple Emperor's Roar was cultivated using that purple qi.

The gentle, slightly cool purple qi slowly flowed through the air like fine threads and entered the acupoints on Gu You's face. He immediately felt as though his entire face had been washed by a clear spring, fresh and indescribably comfortable. His eyes in particular felt markedly sharper under the nourishment of those cool currents, and everything in the distance became clearer.

Recalling the direction in which Soul Power was guided toward the cheeks in the original story, he tried it bit by bit.

Just then, a pale strip of dawn quietly emerged on the distant horizon, and the purple qi reached its richest moment.

Suddenly, Gu You felt as if the purple light had magnified within his eyes. Then, a warm sensation filled them. Tears instinctively flowed out, yet they did not fall. Instead, driven by Soul Power, they revolved around his eye sockets, nourishing his eyes in an indescribably comfortable way. Those faint traces of warmth were drawn into his eyes as well, merging deep into their depths.

The purple qi came quickly and left quickly. The sun rose, and Gu You had unknowingly spent an hour.

As expected of the Tang Sect Secret Arts. It really was something. He had heard that, once cultivated to mastery, it could even see through things...

After succeeding, Gu You knew he could not openly use Purple Emperor's Roar. If anyone discovered it, he would be finished. But paired with his second Soul Skill... they were both purple, so no one should notice, right?

As for the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Gu You had no intention of cultivating it. He was genuinely afraid of becoming entangled with Tang San through karma. He had no desire to experience that line: You already have a death wish.

"You're here." Yun Ming spoke softly when he saw Gu You.

"Mm." Gu You answered. The whole family was present, not one missing. Na'er was still in Ya Li's arms. Sure enough! Women all liked the new and hated the old.

"Ya Li told me about the hostility between your and Na'er's Martial Souls. Sit facing each other in meditation first. Let me see what's going on." Yun Ming looked at Gu You.

Gu You nodded and looked at Na'er. Things were much better today. At least Na'er was no longer avoiding him.

"Release your Martial Souls."

Sitting opposite each other, Gu You looked at Na'er naturally enough. But perhaps because she was a girl and more easily embarrassed, she did not dare meet his eyes. Looking closely, there was indeed a faint blush on both sides of her face.

Their Martial Souls were released, and two immense auras instantly began colliding. Gu You was startled. He could sense that Na'er's aura was inferior to his. If he did not stop quickly, his destructive ultimate attribute might blow Na'er's body apart. But if he stopped, he would be the one injured. After all, he could not endure such massive elemental energy either. Yet with Ya Li here, Gu You went all in. If something happened because he failed to stop, the blame would be enormous. As her brother, he should yield to his little sister.

Yun Ming seemed to sense something, and his pupils widened.

Not good!

This hostility was not ordinary hostility. It was more like the hostility of two original owners. If that was the case, it could not be eliminated at all. If it had merely been inherited, there would still be a solution.

But Yun Ming still could not understand it. How could such immense hostility between original owners appear in inheritors? It was absurd.

Gu You was instantly blasted away. Na'er woke with a start and looked hazily in Gu You's direction.

After the dust settled, Yun Ming carried the smoking Gu You and slowly walked over to Ya Li.

Though Ya Li was worried, she still had to wait until after treating him to speak. Her Wish Angel Martial Soul appeared, and the third and sixth Soul Rings lit up at once. Gu You's injuries shifted faintly across his body before vanishing completely.

"You should thank your brother. If he had not forcibly dispelled his own aura, you might have been the one injured." Yun Ming's voice was cold. Na'er's body trembled. She wanted to say something, but it was as though something had lodged in her throat, leaving her unable to speak.
