Fusion of Authorities? Destruction and Space? The Shipboard Ball Begins!
The sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, rushed towards me, making the hem of my clothes flutter in the wind.
Bai Yuan stood on the ship's side, watching the giant ship slowly sail away from the dock.
The distant coastline is receding little by little, like a painting being slowly rolled up.
"Wow, the ocean is so beautiful."
Gu Yue stood beside him, her gaze fixed on the widening sea in the distance.
Her long, silver hair swayed gently in the wind.
She looked around, seemingly fascinated by every detail of the giant ship.
Portholes, masts, seabirds—it swept over them all, leaving no corner untouched.
Bai Yuan looked at her profile.
She looked almost no different from any other little girl.
Is this still the Silver Dragon King?
The wind whistled through the mast, carrying the sound of the ship's horn to the distant sea.
"Waaah--"
The ship's horn resounded through the sky as the giant ship slowly sailed out of the dock, heading towards the Star Luo Empire.
As Bai Yuan turned around, he saw a group of people standing not far away, as if they had been waiting for a while.
The leader stepped forward and nodded slightly to him:
"Bai Yuan, we are from the Star Luo Royal Academy."
"I hope to have the opportunity to exchange ideas with everyone from your esteemed institution during this part of the voyage."
Bai Yuan hadn't had a chance to respond yet.
A rather impolite interjection came from the side:
"Don't embarrass yourself here. If we can't beat you, do you think you can?"
Bai Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw several figures in different uniforms standing not far away.
He smiled:
"That's not necessarily true. What if the monster is useless?"
"You!"
Someone on the other side couldn't help but take a step forward.
It looked like he wanted to rush up and argue, but was held back by the people around him.
"Don't be impulsive, there are too many people here."
"What if we embarrass Monster Academy?"
The man gritted his teeth, but ultimately did not break free, only letting out a cold snort:
"Fine, I won't stoop to his level."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
The student from the Star Luo Royal Academy watched them leave before turning back to Bai Yuan.
"Then I await your guidance."
"I won't bother you any longer, you should get some rest."
Bai Yuan nodded.
A hint of doubt lingered in Gu Yue's mind:
"Aren't these humans part of an empire?"
"Why are they fighting again...?"
"Humans are so complicated."
She paused.
"I'm so hungry. Since things have come to this, let's eat first."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the cabin with light steps.
Bai Yuan watched her figure disappear through the cabin door, then turned his gaze away and walked towards his own room.
The room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of waves echoing through the walls from outside the window.
He sat on the edge of the bed, opened his palm, and Core Flame appeared in his palm, burning quietly with golden and black light.
He closed his eyes and followed the steps Xiao Bai had taught him.
Immerse your consciousness in those powers that you have not yet fully grasped, and feel their outlines.
The outlines of those few symbols of authority slowly unfolded in his perception.
He didn't rush to delve deeper.
Just use your first contact to take a look
What exactly did he feel?
Re-experience it with your heart
Perhaps you can get something different.
After a while.
He was able to mix a Power of Destruction into the Power of Space!
This excited Bai Yuan!
If you combine it yourself
It'll definitely be a killer move later on!
The broadcast suddenly came on.
"Attention everyone!"
Welcome aboard the Star Luo Giant Ship! Tonight we will be hosting a grand party.
To foster lasting friendship between our two continents, please dress up in your finest attire!
The announcement echoed twice in the cabin before gradually fading into silence.
Bai Yuan opened his eyes as he began his cultivation.
The newly merged power was still pulsating slightly at the edge of his perception.
He looked down at his hands:
"Here it comes, the classic gala."
He smiled.
"Alright, I'm good at this."
In another cabin, Yue Zhengyu was standing in front of a mirror adjusting his collar.
His fingers paused on the edge of his collar, as if checking if a certain detail was in place.
His eyes lit up for a moment when he heard the broadcast:
"This is my chance!"
He slightly raised his chin as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"As the heir to the Holy Angel Family, I am determined to make a name for myself at the party!"
"Everyone's waiting to be crushed by me! If they lack strength, they'll make up for it with their looks!"
He turned and pushed open the door, the hem of his platinum tuxedo swaying gently with his steps.
Then he saw Tang Wulin.
A black dress with a clean cut and straight shoulders.
Standing there, it's as if the spot was deliberately chosen by the lighting; it doesn't need any extra decorations to support the entire radiance.
Yue Zhengyu paused for a moment, his gaze lingering on Tang Wulin for a brief instant before shifting to the group of people nearby who were talking in hushed tones.
Someone glanced in Tang Wulin's direction a few times, then looked away.
Yue Zhengyu stood a few steps away, looked down at himself, and then at Tang Wulin.
He took a sip of the wine from the rim of his glass.
"No!"
"Why!!!"
Tang Wulin was surrounded by others, and someone was patting him on the shoulder and saying something.
He simply lowered his head slightly, looking a little awkward, but gradually relaxed under the kindness of those around him.
Xie Xie had somehow gotten close to him and glanced at him in the same direction.
"Stop looking, he looks good in anything, it's natural."
Yue Zhengyu didn't look at him, but continued drinking the wine in his glass.
His gaze remained fixed on the black figure in the distance.
A moment later, he put down his glass:
"What a messed up life!"
"If I can't beat them, I can at least outgrow them!"
Xie Xie glanced at him, about to say something, Yue Zhengyu had already turned and walked in another direction.
Xie Xie watched his retreating figure and shook his head:
"This person is unusually quiet today."
As the party lights slowly came on, the noise in the banquet hall surged like a tide.
Will Miss Gu Yue come?
"I didn't see her!"
Tang Wulin withdrew his gaze, feeling a little disappointed.
Wow--who's that?
Someone asked in a low voice, their tone filled with barely suppressed amazement.
Another person chimed in:
"The one on the left, isn't that Yue Zhengyu from the Angel Family?"
"What a noble young master!"
The man paused, then his voice held a more genuine admiration.
"The one on the right is the real gem... so handsome."
Yue Zhengyu's smile froze on his lips.
He had thought he was the most dazzling person tonight.
But when he saw Tang Wulin beside him, all the pre-planned brilliance seemed to be obscured by a lower, more oppressive cloud.
He wore a black tuxedo with a clean cut and no unnecessary embellishments, which made his tall and slender figure stand out, with straight shoulders.
Yue Zhengyu looked at Tang Wulin, then at himself, and sighed silently in his heart.
He lowered his head and took a sip of his drink.
Xie Xie stood in the crowd, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two:
"Damn, why are you guys so handsome? It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others."
He muttered a complaint, but stepped aside.
"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."
Tang Wulin's voice came from the crowd, carrying a hint of awkwardness that he himself hadn't fully adapted to.
I really want to hit you guys.
Xie Xie's voice was drowned out by the surrounding conversation.
His gaze had already begun to unconsciously drift towards the entrance.
Then Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui entered.
The hustle and bustle of the party suddenly stopped as three beautiful figures stepped into the hall.
Ye Xinglan's golden hair cascaded down her back, her deep blue eyes were as unfathomable as the boundless starry sky, and a Bailu dress trailed on the ground.
Like a beam of light that has been broken up and rewoven by moonlight, it is aloof and cold, not to be profaned.
Yuanen Yehui's chestnut-red short hair was slightly curled, and her purple long dress clung to her waist, outlining her undulating silhouette.
Her skirt billowed and twirled as she moved, like a rose blooming in the dark night.
Xu Xiaoyan wore a light blue dress, and her two little braids swayed gently with her steps, making her look lively and adorable!
Like a delicate porcelain doll!
They walked side by side, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Xie Xie looked at her, then quickly looked away, as if afraid someone would notice he was watching.
"Sister Xinglan is so beautiful!"
Seeing Xu Lizhi's dazed expression, Xie Xie couldn't help but remind him.
"Watch your behavior, you lecherous bastard!"
Xu Lizhi retorted, "Look at Yuan En from the front, he was the same way!"
He's still chuckling like an idiot!
Xie Xie looked up at the chandelier awkwardly.
Am I that obvious?
Be more careful next time!
Cough cough!
Tang Wulin's gaze lingered at the entrance for a moment before returning to it.
He sighed softly to himself.
Perhaps she just doesn't want to attend these kinds of events.
Just as he was about to look away, a figure emerged from a corner where the light didn't reach.
"She really came!!!"
"My chance!!"
