Xu Zhan watched his son's progress in Mecha Design, his heart filled with gratification. At first, he had worried that balancing spear training and design studies would affect Xu Mengqing's Soul Power cultivation. But seeing Xu Mengqing's efforts, which far surpassed those of ordinary people, moved him deeply.

Over the past year, Xu Mengqing had pushed his schedule to the absolute limit. During the day at the academy, aside from his regular classes, he spent all his remaining time studying the Mecha Design books Xu Zhan had compiled for him while silently digesting the knowledge the Holy Dragon Pearl had given him.

Whether in the academy library or a quiet corner during breaks, people could always see him buried in thick design manuals. While others laughed and played around him, he seemed not to hear them, his gaze fixed firmly on the structural diagrams and theoretical notes on the pages. Whenever he encountered something he did not understand, he took out a small notebook and carefully recorded it, saving it to ask his father about after returning home.

After school, he returned home with Na'er. After playing with her for a while, he picked up his spear and began more than an hour of intensive spear practice.

Without Zhou Lie there to guide him, he repeatedly honed his skills against the marked targets in the courtyard. Thrusts, lifts, chops, sweeps—he strove for precision in every move. The whistle of the Blue Silver Grass spear cutting through the air became the melody that rang through the small courtyard at the same time every day. Sweat ran down his neck, soaking through his clothes and clinging them to his firm back, yet he never stopped. Only when the setting sun stretched his shadow long did he finally lower his spear. After briefly wiping away his sweat, he turned and entered his family's Mecha Design room.

The two-plus hours in the evening were when he systematically studied Mecha Design under Xu Zhan. Xu Zhan began with the basic properties of mecha materials, then moved on to core circuit construction, power compartment debugging, and functional adaptation for combat mechas. He taught him hand in hand how to draw blueprints and assemble components.

Xu Mengqing was exceptionally perceptive. He never forgot any point his father explained, and complicated mechanical structures and intricate circuit layouts rapidly took shape in his mind. Often, as soon as Xu Zhan demonstrated something once, he could operate it independently. He could even offer unconventional ideas for improvement, leaving Xu Zhan astonished by his son's talent time and again.

After finishing his Mecha Design studies, he began training his control over Blue Silver Grass, focusing his mind as he continuously improved his proficiency.

Under his control, the dark-gold Blue Silver Grass danced nimbly, as agile as snakes. At times, it wove itself into dense nets; at others, it condensed into sharp spears.

By the time all his training and studying were finished, it was already late at night. Everything was silent, and only the Blue Silver Bagua Formation in the backyard glowed with a faint, gentle light.

He stepped into the formation and sat cross-legged in meditation. Soul Power slowly circulated along the route of his cultivation technique. The fatigue of the day gradually dissipated in meditation, while his Soul Power gathered and rose bit by bit like a trickling stream. His body also grew increasingly stronger under the nourishment of the formation.

Meng Ling'er often stood by the window, watching her son cultivate diligently late into the night. Her eyes were full of heartache, but she never disturbed him.

Finally, over the course of that year, Xu Mengqing also began renovating the Holy Dragon Pearl Space. The Holy Dragon Pearl contained the primordial energy of heaven and earth, which meant Xu Mengqing could cultivate inside the space.

Furthermore, the space contained air, soil, water, sunlight, alternating day and night, and the movement of stars. It was practically a miniature world.

This gave Xu Mengqing an idea—a way to break the shackles of his bloodline.

Ever since awakening his Blue Silver Martial Soul, Xu Mengqing had known very clearly that with Tang Wulin and Ah Yin around, no matter how much his Blue Silver Grass cultivated, it could at most reach the level of a Blue Silver King.

That was why he had been especially cautious when selecting Spirit Souls. He hoped to use Spirit Souls to alter his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and allow it to break free of its bloodline shackles.

Thus, he chose the Diamond Vine Spirit Soul, which possessed both wood and metal attributes, granting his Blue Silver Grass the metal attribute.

Next, he would continue choosing wood-and-water, wood-and-life, wood-and-fire, and wood-and-earth attributes.

Xu Mengqing hoped to grant his Blue Silver Grass all five elements through Spirit Souls, allowing them to generate and circulate endlessly. Combined with the Holy Light Lizard's Devouring Power, this could break the shackles of his bloodline.

Even if it failed, he still had the Holy Light Lizard as a safeguard.

Moreover, all the Spirit Souls he absorbed were plant-type, so there should not be any major issues.

But now, the appearance of the Holy Dragon Pearl Space had given him another path.

If the first idea had been a gamble, then this path was a detour.

Its chance of success was over fifty percent.

He would plant Blue Silver Grass inside the space!

After all these years of cultivation, Xu Mengqing could sense that because his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possessed Soul Power, its bloodline was stronger than that of ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Since he had planted it himself, the Blue Silver Grass was very close to him and conveyed a sense of submission. But the problem was that these Blue Silver Grass submitted to him because his bloodline was the strongest here.

Yet that was precisely the issue. These Blue Silver Grass had no consciousness of their own; they possessed only instinct.

If the true Blue Silver Emperor were here, who do you think they would obey?

In other words, even if he did what some fanfictions from his previous life described—finding a place to plant Blue Silver Grass and using their faith to evolve his own Blue Silver Grass—it was indeed a very good method. But damn it, this was the era of Douluo Dalu III. As long as Ah Yin existed, this path would most likely end up making a wedding dress for someone else.

But it was different inside the space. This was the Holy Dragon Pearl's independent space. It did not belong to Douluo Continent, much less this world.

I refuse to believe Ah Yin's reach can extend into my own world.

This allowed Xu Mengqing to successfully bypass Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, and break the myth from the original work that only one Blue Silver Emperor could exist at any given time.

Xu Mengqing also discovered that the Blue Silver Grass planted in the Holy Dragon Pearl Space grew at an alarmingly fast rate.

What did that mean?

As long as Xu Mengqing was given a little time, he could completely cultivate a Blue Silver Grass Empire that belonged solely to him!

Though he did not possess the bloodline of a Blue Silver Emperor, that did not mean he could not become an emperor!

Afterward, Xu Mengqing began planning the renovation of the Holy Dragon Pearl Space. He still followed the principles of the Eight Trigrams Formation, except the enormous lake within the Holy Dragon Pearl Space would serve as the ultimate center of the Bagua Formation. The formation's positions would spread out around the lake. As for the outermost area, he had no particular requirements. He only needed to scatter grass seeds and let the Blue Silver Grass grow on its own. Of course, to avoid exposing the existence of the Holy Dragon Pearl, he could only do everything alone, transplanting each stalk of Blue Silver Grass into the space himself. Moreover, he did not transplant the Blue Silver Grass from his courtyard, instead finding new Blue Silver Grass elsewhere, or he would have been unable to explain it.

As a result, the Blue Silver Grass around Red Mountain Academy and his home suffered a disaster.

Blue Silver Grass: Save us! There's a grass trafficker!

Xu Mengqing: Hehehe~

Inside the space,

Blue Silver Grass: So fragrant~
