Phainon's Advice, Gu Yuena's Wisdom! Star Luo's Invitation!

The room fell silent again.

Bai Yuan stood by the table, his hand still in the handshake position from before.

Xiao Bai's voice came from behind him:

They need time to recover.

"The planet's energy is insufficient to sustain their long-term manifestation."

Bai Yuan put his hand down:

How long will it take?

Xiao Bai thought for a moment:

"I don't know. But they'll be better off inside the Core Flame."

He didn't say much, but just glanced at the night outside the window.

"You should get some rest."

There will be other things to do tomorrow.

"I can't be here for long periods of time either."

Bai Yuan stood still, looking at Xiao Bai's thinning figure, his voice a few decibels deeper than before:

"How can I help you, Xiao Bai!"

His voice trailed off slightly, as if he wanted to get an answer he could grasp before the figure completely disappeared.

Xiao Bai's disappearing figure paused for a moment.

He didn't turn around, he just turned his face to the side:

"Take care of yourself and keep moving forward."

The figure vanished completely the moment the words left its mouth, turning into tiny specks of light that disappeared into the night.

The room fell silent again.

Bai Yuan stood by the table, his gaze fixed on the spot where Xiao Bai had disappeared, his fingers slowly clenching and unclenching at his side.

You need to improve your skills as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to help Xiao Bai.

He walked back to the bedside, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and let the light of the Core Flame slowly spread deep within his consciousness.

The engraving that represented the gateway was still faintly glowing.

He immersed himself in cultivation, allowing his Soul Power to slowly circulate within his body.

Far away.

Inside Shrek's Golden Tree.

Deep within the Life Core, the leaf extracted from Bai Yuan's body was faintly glowing.

The leaf floats in the consciousness space of the Life Core.

The Life Core closed its eyes and immersed its consciousness into the light of the leaves.

It sensed an unfamiliar force seeping into the boundaries of its perception.

That force did not come from any direction it was familiar with.

However, in its attempt to resist the erosion of the Blue Silver Emperor, it provided an extremely tiny but real crack.

The light from the leaves spread deep within its consciousness.

Like a crack that is slowly unfolding.

It didn't ask where the crack led; it simply extended its consciousness slowly along the light.

Let the scent of that leaf permeate its very core.

It flows deeper along those unhealed gaps.

"Hopefully, I can break free from this control!"

After all

It doesn't want to be replaced by anything.

Disappeared from the world.

It needs to fight for its own survival!

The morning breeze seeped in through the window cracks, carrying the scent of dew and grass.

Gu Yuena sat up in bed, stretched, and lightly traced a line in the air with her finger.

A tiny Space Rift flashed across my fingertip and then quickly healed.

She looked down at her fingers, and a slight smile curved her lips.

After yesterday's sparring match, she went back and pondered it for a long time.

She has now achieved a basic level of Space Severing.

Although its power is still far from matching the clean and crisp cutting style of Bai Yuan, it has at least reached the basics.

She was confident she would catch up with that wretched human soon; after all, she was the Silver Dragon King.

She has never lacked talent.

She spent the entire night sorting through the fragments.

He repeatedly deduced the flow of space when Bai Yuan made his move, and then reconstructed a similar circuit within his own body.

She rolled out of bed, pushed open the door, and walked with a lighter step than usual.

Then she saw several people standing in front of Bai Yuan's door.

Wearing a white uniform with the Star Luo Royal Academy emblem embroidered on the chest.

It's the same group of people from yesterday.

They were standing at the door, as if waiting for something, or perhaps hesitating whether to knock.

The student in the lead turned his head when he heard footsteps.

Upon seeing that it was Gu Yuena, his gaze lingered on her for a moment:

This is that Terror Elemental Girl from yesterday!!

Cough cough!

There's someone right next to me!

"Hello, we're looking for Bai Yuan. Is he here?"

Gu Yuena's gaze swept over those people:

"He hasn't come out yet."

What do you want with him?

The student seemed to carefully consider his words:

"We'd like to... talk to him again."

"After all, he's number one on the Genius Ranking."

"We didn't get to show our full potential in yesterday's match."

Gu Yuena looked at him.

"You couldn't win yesterday."

Do you think we can win today?

She didn't say it outright, but paused for a moment.

Several Star Luo Empire students blushed slightly.

They certainly knew how decisively they lost yesterday.

They also knew that this "Terror Elemental Girl" could get serious if she got serious.

They might not even have a chance to get back on the field.

But this is the teacher's task.

They're just here to scout things out.

The real showdown is still on the Monster Academy's side.

The lead student composed himself, spoke again, and his voice was more steady than before:

"We would like to invite students Gu Yue and Bai Yuan to the Star Luo Empire for an exchange program."

"On the Star Luo Continent, there is a Monster Academy, where geniuses rival those of the Shrek Academy."

Gu Yuena's eyebrows twitched slightly.

That's right!

She almost forgot!

Plan!

Dragon Valley is located on the Star Luo Continent.

If she can use this opportunity to get closer to Dragon Valley.

Perhaps then we can rediscover what was hidden, something that relates to the revival plan of the entire Soul Beast Clan.

She snapped out of her reverie, her voice regaining its usual coolness:

"Don't worry, I'll talk to him when he comes out."

"I'll give you an answer then."

The Star Luo Empire students seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had finally completed a tricky task.

They nodded slightly to Gu Yuena, then turned and walked towards the other end of the corridor, their pace quickening slightly as they had come.

Even after they had walked away, you could still faintly hear them talking in hushed tones:

"She's surprisingly understanding..."

"How come you didn't notice it during the competition?"

"Stop talking. Do you want to do that Elemental Bombardment she used yesterday again?"

The sound gradually faded into the distance.

Gu Yuena stood there, waiting until the figures in white uniforms completely disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and the smug smile almost overflowed:

"Hehehe... My wisdom!"

She murmured to herself, as if reliving the moment when the net had just been pulled in.

"We've manipulated a bunch of people like puppets; let's see how we explain this to Bai Yuan later!"

She turned around and Bai Yuan's door.

Morning light shone through the crack in the door, as if it had been bright for a while.

She raised her hand and tapped twice:

"Bai Yuan, are you awake? I need to talk to you."

Bai Yuan's consciousness had just been withdrawn from the depths of the Core Flame.

Then they heard a sound coming from outside the door.

Gu Yuena's voice came through the door:

"Bai Yuan, are you awake?"

"I have something to tell you."

Are you in there?

"I'm coming in!"

There was a moment of silence outside the door, as if waiting for a response.

If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes!

Before Bai Yuan could speak, a silvery-white light seeped in through the crack in the door.

Gu Yuena's figure appeared in the center of the room.

The aftershocks of the Space Teleportation were still slowly dissipating at her feet.

She looked around and found the bed empty.

"Huh? Where is he? He's not in the room?"

A hand reached out from behind her and gently flicked her forehead.

"Junior sister, what are you doing sneakily?"

Gu Yuena turned around abruptly. Bai Yuan was standing behind her, looking at her with his head tilted to the side, as if he had been standing there for a while.

"Bai Yuan!!!" Gu

Yuena covered her forehead, her voice tinged with the annoyance one feels after being ambushed.

"Ouch! I'm going to fight you to the death!"

She raised her hand, and an extremely thin Space Rift flashed past her fingertip, heading towards Bai Yuan.
