Dragon Dance, Land's Wrath, Shui Yue'er's Social Death

The carriage on the way back was a bit bumpy.

The passengers inside the carriage were listless, drowsy.

Bai Mu energetically called out in his mind, "Xiao Ruan, help me organize the information."

A few seconds later, a familiar panel appeared before him--

[Bai Mu (Level 29)]

[Spirit Skills: Jungle Healing, Substitute]

[Spirit: Zygarde (10% Form)]

[Z-Cell Quantity: "48" (41 existing, 1 from Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, 6 from un-transformed Lovesick Heartbreak Red medicinal power split)]

[Attributes: Dragon, Ground]

[Ability: Aura Break]

[Skills: Crunch, Dragon Pulse, Stomp, Glare, Safeguard, Double Team, Extreme Speed, Dragon Dance, Land's Wrath]

[Special Moves: Jungle Healing, Substitute]

"Level 29? No wonder I feel terrifyingly strong right now."

Bai Mu hadn't expected that absorbing a 5000-year Spirit Ring, combined with previous accumulations and the medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, would result in a breakthrough of 9 levels!

He had a strange feeling—if not for upgrading too many levels at once, causing the level to be somewhat superficial and slightly bottlenecked, he would definitely have leveled directly from 20 to 30!

"Seems reasonable enough."

Bai Mu recalled the original work. Tang San only absorbed a somewhat special thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider and reached level 32 after his breakthrough.

As for himself, when others were absorbing Spirit Rings of at most 600-700 years, he absorbed a 5000-year Spirit Ring. It was entirely reasonable for the Spirit Ring and Soul Power alone to boost him by seven, eight, or nine levels.

However----

"This situation is still too outrageous for ordinary people. For now, I'll just say I'm level 26 externally.

Compared to excitement about the soaring level, Bai Mu felt it was a bit strange.

"I've just become a Soul Grand Master, and I already need to start preparing to hunt for my third Spirit Ring and become a Soul Elder?"

Thinking of this, his expression became a little interesting.

Of course, what truly excited him was that once Zygarde absorbed the remaining medicinal power of Lovesick Heartbreak Red and leveled up again.

He would then have gathered 49 Z-Cells, reaching 50% fusion with Z-Snake!

At that point, fighting opponents above his level would surely become even more effortless.

"Steady, steady, just a little longer and it'll be fine----"

Bai Mu's mind was self-hypnotizing, but his heart, agitated by the surge of power, couldn't calm down at all.

"Thump~!"

Suddenly, he felt a weight on his shoulder.

He lowered his head slightly and found Shui Bing'er, who was sitting beside him, had fallen sound asleep, her small head tilted and resting on his shoulder.

Her lips moved slightly, as if dreaming of eating something delicious.

Her flawless skin showed a delicate rosy blush, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Bai Mu stared blankly for a while.

It wasn't until the carriage jolted that he snapped back to reality.

His agitated heart also gradually calmed down at some point.

"This is nice too."

A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he took out his Cloak to cover Shui Bing'er.

Taking stock of his other gains, he found two new moves that Zygarde had learned: Dragon Dance and Land's Wrath.

The former was awakened after absorbing the Second Spirit Ring.

The latter, he guessed, was learned successfully upon reaching level 26, just like in the game!

Dragon Dance: Performs a mysterious and powerful dance, raising Attack and Speed by one stage.

A one-stage increase in ability level is a 50% Boost, with a maximum of 6 stages, which is a 300% Boost.

This terrifying Boost would make even a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master, whose maximum Boost was 100%, weep with envy!

"Later, I'll have Zygarde practice with Old Lie."

Bai Mu's lips curved slightly as he thought of Rayquaza twisting and turning during battles.

Rayquaza: Here's the problem, guess why I twist and turn when I fight? What do you think my advantage over the Hoenn Duo relies on?

Master the subtle manipulation of Dragon Dance, and you'll learn it!

As for Land's Wrath?

It can gather the power of the earth to concentrate an attack on the opponent and inflict damage.

The name is invincible, but the power is mediocre, and the additional effect is zero.

"The most trash Signature Move—barely better than nothing."

Bai Mu glanced at it twice and stopped paying attention.

For Zygarde, who was not lacking in Signature Moves, this Signature Move was only fit for transitioning.

"Xiao Mu, Bing'er, stop sleeping, we're here at the academy."

After an unknown amount of time, Shui Yunxin's voice suddenly rang out.

"Mmm~"

Shui Bing'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her dazed eyes, staring blankly ahead.

Bai Mu chuckled, "Did you sleep well?"

"Very comfortable—Huh?!"

Shui Bing'er answered subconsciously, then, feeling something was wrong, she slowly looked up, her eyes meeting Bai Mu's as he looked down.

A blush crept onto her cheeks and ears. The daze in her eyes vanished instantly, and she said shyly, "No, no—sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."

"It's fine, it's easy to get drowsy when riding in a carriage, and you've worked hard these past few days."

Bai Mu smiled and reached out to pull Shui Bing'er up, "Let's get off, be careful your legs are numb."

"Mhm, mhm—"

Shui Bing'er nodded and followed him off the carriage.

"I wonder how Yue'er's cultivation has been these past few days."

Shui Yunxin's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"So many days have passed, she should have gained quite a bit."

Shui Bing'er subconsciously glanced at Bai Mu, feeling for the first time that upgrading too quickly was a mistake.

If she had refined her body with Whale Rubber before obtaining her Second Spirit Ring, she might have had a chance to get a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, right?

"Xiao Mu, we're so grateful that you're willing to tell us the secret of Whale Rubber."

Shui Yunxin smiled at Bai Mu and couldn't help but ask, "I just don't know if you're willing to let me teach this method to the students?"

"Willing, but not recommended."

To Bai Mu, Whale Rubber below 100,000 years was already useless to him. He didn't care even if the secret was revealed.

"Not recommended? I understand."

Shui Yunxin paused, then understood Bai Mu's meaning.

The academy was full of people and gossip. If the secret of Whale Rubber was taught to students, the entire continent would know sooner or later.

By then, the demand for Whale Rubber would far exceed the supply, and its price would definitely skyrocket, increasing by dozens of times!

She couldn't be bothered to dwell on it and decided to ensure Bing'er and Yue'er had enough first.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Mu, you've never been to our house before. Come in and sit down."

Shui Yunxin smiled and opened the door, only to find it empty inside.

"Where's Yue'er?"

Shui Bing'er was a little confused.

"This little one is probably sleeping in again!"

Shui Yunxin quickly entered and pulled open Shui Yue'er's door.

"Yue'er! You're stealing----"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Shui Yue'er curled up on the bed, blushing furiously, rubbing herself with the quilt, and making strange "Mmm~ Mmm~ Mmm" sounds.

"Mom--Mom!?"

Shui Yue'er looked up when she heard the voice. The dazed look in her eyes cleared slightly, and she immediately buried herself completely under the quilt.

"Bang!"

Shui Yunxin quickly closed the door, her expression fluctuating.

"Yue'er's voice sounds a bit strange. What's wrong with her, Mom?"

Shui Bing'er looked up in confusion.

"It's nothing----"

Shui Yunxin put on an awkward yet polite smile.

"Um, Xiao Mu---- I suddenly remembered that Yue'er, Bing'er, and I have something to attend to. I'll entertain you next time when we're free."

"Okay, Auntie. You guys go ahead. I'll go familiarize myself with some Spirit Skills. Bye-bye!"

Bai Mu retracted the foot that had just stepped into the room and waved his hand to leave.

On the way, he recalled the faint sounds coming from Shui Yue'er's bedroom.

"What's wrong with that little girl? It couldn't be that she was caught doing that, could it?"

"A little girl, it shouldn't be possible... wait, no!"

He suddenly remembered that Shui Yue'er had eaten so much Whale Rubber, and her martial soul wasn't an Ice Phoenix. It was perfectly normal that she couldn't suppress that Evil Fire!

"Oh~ poor Yue'er, may there be no Whale Rubber or Evil Fire in heaven, Amen!"

At some point, a knowing smile had appeared on the corner of Bai Mu's mouth.

Some people are alive, but in reality, she is already dead!

Socially dead!
