Is Your Mastery of Space Taught by Aeon? The Silver Dragon King's Test!
Bai Yuan dodged the Space Severing by sidestepping.
The crack grazed the edge of his clothes, leaving a very thin scratch on the wall behind him.
He glanced at the mark, then looked at Gu Yuena.
"Oh?"
"You've already figured out Space Severing so quickly?"
"Not bad, as expected of my junior sister, you have half the talent of your Senior Brother."
Gu Yuena had originally come to show off her achievements, but his words immediately brought her back to her senses.
She stood there, looking at him, wanting to say something.
But unable to find a suitable response, he could only stand there.
She gritted her teeth, as if mentally rehearsing her words.
Just as he was about to speak, Bai Yuan raised his hand.
His fingertips twitched slightly.
An extremely thin Space Rift silently opened before him, and then did not close.
Instead, it rapidly expands the suite, breaks it down, and refactors it.
The broken fragments spun rapidly around him, forming a miniature vortex.
Countless tiny Space Rift opened, closed, shifted, and cut within the vortex, like a microscopic storm compressed to its extreme.
The storm took shape in his palm and he gently pushed it out, grazing the brick surface at the corner of the wall.
The moment the brick surface came into contact with the storm, its texture collapsed inward, leaving a shallow pit with smooth edges.
The cracks at the bottom of the pit were as fine as a spider web, as if a piece of it had been hollowed out from the inside by something far sharper than a blade.
The debris at the bottom of the pit was still floating slightly, as if it were being gently supported by an invisible force field.
Gu Yuena's gaze fell on the shallow pit, and she remained silent for a moment.
She stared at the afterimage, now ravaged into an irregular vortex, her voice trembling:
"Is this... not a cut?"
She paused.
"A storm caused by the Spatial Shattering? And countless cuts?"
Her gaze shifted from the shallow pit back to Bai Yuan.
"You—this is yet another new attack method?"
It's as if she's trying to align the scene before her with her cognitive framework.
"Holy crap, I really want to skin him alive..."
Her voice carried a complex tone, tinged with a hint of gritted teeth.
"Is this even human? Could it be the Space Dragon King?"
She frowned, as if searching through some long-forgotten corner of her Remembrance.
Legend has it that the Dragon God created the Dragon God Realm, giving the dragon race their own home.
The Dragon God bestowed upon the most outstanding dragon geniuses the various attributes born from the evolution of his bloodline.
They were given nine attributes: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, time, and stability.
The Nine Great Dragon Kings also recognized the Dragon God as their father, calling him their lord.
She carefully sensed his presence and found absolutely no trace of dragons.
Her intuition wouldn't lie to her.
If he really is a dragon, she will definitely be able to sense it.
But there was nothing there.
She looked up at Bai Yuan with a serious expression in her eyes:
"The Aeon he mentioned... might be a powerful being from another plane, and he is that powerful being's representative."
She silently completed this conjecture in her mind, then took a deep breath.
It's like pressing those surging speculations back into a neat grid.
She looked up at him again, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Hmm, let's keep him calm for now and slowly extract information about the Aeon."
"Go for it, Gu Xiaona, you can do it!"
Bai Yuan looked at her "I've already got it all sorted out" expression and said calmly:
"You came to see me not just for the purpose of showing off the Space Severing, right?"
Gu Yuena snapped out of her daze and nodded at him:
"People from the Star Luo Empire are looking for you."
Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly:
"Looking for me?"
"Yes, they want to invite you to the Star Luo Empire for exchange and study."
"The Monster Academy wants to spar with you."
She paused, as if considering how to phrase her words.
"I saw that they were quite sincere, so I agreed on your behalf."
Of course, if you don't want to go, I can help you decline.
Bai Yuan looked at her and walked towards the door:
"Go, why wouldn't you go?"
"I'd also like to go see just how monsters that Monster Academy is."
Gu Yuena watched his retreating figure as he walked out, and then followed him out of the room.
"Then I'll go tell them."
He was mentally reviewing the conversation they had just had.
He was well aware of Gu Yuena's intentions.
Her quick agreement was definitely not just out of kindness in helping Star Luo Empire find a match.
What she really wanted was the stuff in Dragon Valley; that was the bargaining chip she truly cared about.
But that's okay, he's aiming in the same direction anyway.
The trip to Dragon Valley was indeed a journey he couldn't miss.
If he could obtain one or two items from that opportunity, it would be a crucial boost to his strength.
Perhaps it can also replenish the energy of the Core Flame.
He knew this trip would be anything but peaceful; too many people were watching him.
Star Luo Empire had its own plans, and some within Shrek Academy didn't want to see him leave so easily.
Even his allies may not be entirely reliable.
He must solidify his confidence beforehand, lest he be eliminated by the hidden players before even stepping into Dragon Valley.
He dialed Leng Yaozhu's Soul Tool.
"You're here so early, is something the matter?"
Bai Yuan didn't beat around the bush:
"People from the Star Luo Empire have arrived and want to invite me to the Monster Academy for an exchange and study."
Leng Yaozhu paused slightly:
"They have made some moves. You agreed?"
Bai Yuan nodded:
I plan to go.
He paused,
"But this trip isn't just about exchange; I need to prepare in advance."
The situation over there is still unclear, and I need some permissions that I can freely allocate.
"Okay, how can I help you?"
Send someone.
Leng Yaozhu remained silent for a moment, as if weighing something:
"You can go. But you need to improve your skills first. Don't expect me to come and rescue you from there."
Bai Yuan smiled:
"Don't worry, teacher, I haven't planned to die over there yet."
Leng Yaozhu continued:
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'll have a meeting with them to discuss it."
Bai Yuan nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Bai Yuan ended his call with Leng Yaozhu and turned around from beside the pillar.
Gu Yuena was leaning against the wall, waiting for him.
"How so? They're very happy. How soon can they set off?"
"Huh? You seem to be in a hurry, Gu Yue."
"What's going on? Is there something there?"
Gu Yuena's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"How could that be? I just wanted to go and come back quickly."
She glanced at him sideways.
"Don't you miss your teacher? Humph, you ungrateful wretch."
Bai Yuan silently admired her skill in changing the subject for a moment.
The little girl has evolved; she's learned to strike first.
He continued, following her lead:
"Alright, alright, let's arrange it as soon as possible."
He didn't press further and turned to walk towards the other end of the corridor.
Gu Yuena followed behind him, tilting her head slightly.
He silently reviewed the exchange in his mind, making sure he hadn't revealed any flaws, before turning his gaze away.
Then she quickened her pace, moved closer to Bai Yuan, and lowered her voice, as if testing some kind of boundary:
"That's right!"
"Is your spatial manipulation technique from the Aeon Sect?"
