"Let me see what Tang Dachui is up to."

While Zygarde was digesting the Blue Silver Emperor, Bai Mu took a moment to check on Tang Hao.

Then he discovered that the man was squatting in the corner of an alley, listening to the gossip on the other side of the wall with a face full of nostalgia.

He had no idea that the object of his nostalgia had already been fed to the dog by him.

"As expected—I really overestimated the Douluo!"

Seeing this, Bai Mu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In the current era of the Douluo, there was almost no power capable of detecting an intruder the moment a restriction was touched.

Up ahead, as the devouring of the Blue Silver Emperor progressed, Zygarde's body erupted with an unprecedented, brilliant light.

That light was no longer just a simple green.

It was an interweaving of blue, gold, and green, perfectly illuminating the entire stone chamber!

An unprecedented aura of life was also being released from within Zygarde's body!

"Is it just going to flash like that?"

Bai Mu stared intently ahead, eager to know what kind of changes Zygarde would undergo next.

Soon, the light reached its peak.

A ball of light the size of a fist separated from Zygarde's body and hovered in mid-air.

At the same time, all the Blue Silver Grass across the entire continent, regardless of where they were growing, began to sway without wind, their leaves all turning toward the direction of Holy Soul Village, their bodies trembling.

In some unknown forest, the Blue Silver King's body shook violently, a human-like expression of pain appearing on its vine-like form as it let out a desperate wail: "The Emperor—the Emperor has fallen—"

In Suotuo City, at the Rose Hotel.

"No! Don't! Ah—!"

Tang San sat up abruptly from the bed, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his heart pounding wildly.

"Brother? Did you have a nightmare?"

Xiao Wu, beside him, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked with concern.

"Yeah—"

Tang San pressed his chest, his face pale, "I suddenly felt—very sad, as if I had lost something very important—"

He subconsciously raised his left hand, and his Blue Silver Grass spirit manifested automatically.

The Blue Silver Grass, which usually felt as dangerous as a venomous snake, was trembling slightly now, like a child who had lost its Mom, its leaves drooping as if it were weeping.

A strong sense of unease surged in Tang San's heart, yet he did not know the reason.

He did not know that on this very night, he had completely lost his Mom, who should have melted in his mouth, as well as the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone that should have belonged to him.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared.

While Tang Hao was reminiscing, Tang San was grieving, Xiao Wu was confused, and Zhu Zhuqing was on the verge of a breakdown due to the noise next door—

Bai Mu felt that his life had reached its peak!

Because—

As the ball of light that flew out of Zygarde's body gradually solidified, it transformed into a brand-new cell.

It was not a soft and powerless Z-Cell!

It was a Core cell that calmly observed its surroundings!

"It's actually a Core. Xiao Ruan, can you split Cores too?"

Bai Mu's eyes widened, his breathing suddenly becoming rapid as he looked at the now-calm Xiao Ruan.

"The life force of the Blue Silver Emperor allowed me to achieve a new breakthrough in the power I have accumulated."

"Then can you continue to split?"

Bai Mu couldn't help but ask.

Since there was no known limit to the Z-Cell Quantity, wouldn't it mean that in the future, if there were enough Z-Cells, he could assemble a pack of Dragon Dogs and Z-Snakes?

"Not recommended."

Xiao Ruan shook its head slightly and explained:

"We originate from you. If there are more than two Cores, the more there are, the weaker our average power becomes."

"Even if there were ten thousand Cores, at most only two Z-Snakes can exist at the same time!"

"It's fine, two is enough!"

There was not a hint of disappointment on Bai Mu's face!

One spirit, dual Cores!

What did this mean?

This means that in the future, he will be able to control two Zygarde 50% Form (Z-Snake) simultaneously!

This means he will be able to formulate more tactics, operations, and plans!

"Unbeatable!"

Bai Mu could already imagine the scenes of future battles: an opponent exhausts all their strength to suppress one Z-Snake, and just as they think victory is within their grasp, a second Z-Snake slowly emerges—

If two aren't enough, then they can merge and transform into the Perfect Form Gundam!

"Awesome!!!"

Just thinking about that scene made Bai Mu feel exhilarated.

"Woo~"

The core slowly descended, eyeing Bai Mu with a hint of curiosity.

"From now on, you'll be called Z2. Please take care of me!"

Bai Mu reached out to cradle the core in his palm, smiling as he stroked its head.

"Woo~"

Z2 nodded with a cold expression; its personality seemed vastly different from Xiao Ruan.

"~Why are your eye colors different?"

Upon closer inspection, Bai Mu discovered what made Z2 special.

Unlike the Z-Cell cores in the anime, which were blue instead of red, the Z2 core that split from Xiao Ruan still had a red body, but its pupils were white!

"Could it be—"

A special thought suddenly appeared in Bai Mu's mind.

He didn't have time to overthink it and immediately said to Xiao Ruan, who was nearby: "Xiao Ruan, give your Z-Cells to Z2 and see what happens when it transforms!"

"No problem."

Xiao Ruan nodded slightly, manipulating the Z-Cells to turn into nine streams of light that flew into Z2's body, while it reverted to its core form.

Upon receiving the cells, Z2 quickly merged and transformed.

"Awoo~"

After the light faded, Z2 had transformed into a handsome white Dragon Dog!

"It really is a shiny!"

Bai Mu was overjoyed.

Good news: he successfully obtained a new core.

Better news: the new core is a shiny!

One normal color, one shiny—a perfect complement!

"I really hit the jackpot this time."

Bai Mu placed Xiao Ruan on his shoulder, happily scurried over to Z2, and gave it a vigorous petting.

"Awoo~"

Z2 ignored Bai Mu's grasping claws, preoccupied with familiarizing itself with its powerful body.

"Right! Are your states completely shared between you two?"

Bai Mu suddenly thought of a question, "If Xiao Ruan consumes an Immortal Herb and gains an ability, can you, Z2, also gain that ability?"

"Awoo?"

"Woo?"

Xiao Ruan and Z2 were stumped by the question.

They looked at each other and immediately initiated telepathic communication for a deep-level exchange and verification.

After discussing for a while, they reached a conclusion—

It is possible. Although we are different individuals, our essence is your Martial Soul, so our inherent abilities are shared.

"That's good. In that case, there are so many more things I can do!"

Bai Mu nodded in satisfaction. After thoroughly checking the stone chamber, he looked at Z2 with a strange smile: "I have a way for you to get well-acquainted with this form. Do you want to know what it is?"

"Awoo~"

Z2 nodded.

"Good! Very good!"

Bai Mu stepped forward, lifted his leg, and mounted Z2.

"Awoo?"

Z2 was full of question marks: What is this for?

"Let's go. The journey back is up to you!"

Bai Mu pointed forward and shouted loudly, "Giddy up!"

"Awoo!"

Z2: o(°A°) I've been tricked!

Xiao Ruan on his shoulder flashed a look of speechlessness in its eyes.

You really are a dog!

"Awoo~"

Z2 felt helpless and could only accept reality, charging out of the waterfall and dashing toward Suotuo City.

Under the moonlight, the corners of Bai Mu's mouth curled upward.

With a Spirit Bone equipped, Blue Silver Grass consumed, and dual cores awakened.

Never before had there been such a wonderful situation!
