Checking the Seal

"It was the night before last!

I haven't felt uncomfortable at all.

If I had to mention anything unusual,

lately, when I meditate, I feel all warm inside. It's really comfortable."

Tang Wuyue tilted her head, thinking back over everything related to her cultivation over the past two months.

"Anything else?"

"Anything else? I've gotten stronger lately. Does that count? I couldn't even lift the Forging Hammers you left at home, but now I can!"

As she spoke, Tang Wuyue pointed to a pair of Forging Hammers on the rack in Lu Chuan's room.

They were a pair Lu Chuan had discarded a long time ago.

They could no longer keep up with his needs.

But they were still as heavy as ever, each weighing a full thousand jin!

"You can lift those Forging Hammers?"

Lu Chuan asked incredulously.

"Yeah!" Tang Wuyue nodded earnestly.

Then,

she walked over, picked up the Forging Hammers, and swung them a couple of times.

Lu Chuan's eyes widened.

A warm feeling in her body.

Increased strength.

Six levels of Soul Power in two months!

What else could it be?

The Silver Dragon King Seal must have loosened,

causing the Origin of the Silver Dragon King to leak out!

"Wuyue, come here. Let me take a look."

Lu Chuan set down the Forging Hammers, preparing to examine Tang Wuyue.

"Look at what?"

Tang Wuyue was confused, but she obediently walked over and let Lu Chuan hold her wrist.

As a strand of Soul Power entered her body,

Lu Chuan went straight to what he was looking for.

After passing through her dantian,

he finally reached a barrier deep within.

It was a thin blue membrane,

as delicate as a cicada's wing,

yet it radiated an incredibly stable aura.

Fine silver patterns flowed across the seal's surface,

like a carefully woven net,

tightly restraining the terrifying power in that bloodline!

The blue membrane was the Silver Dragon King Seal placed by Sea God Tang San!

The method was crude, and there were clear signs that the Silver Dragon King had reinforced it.

Lu Chuan examined it three times before finally letting out a slight breath of relief.

The first examination confirmed the seal's structure.

The second checked for cracks or signs of loosening.

The third sensed the energy fluctuations inside the seal.

Fortunately,

the results were good.

The seal was completely intact.

There were no cracks on its surface, and it hadn't loosened.

As for the Silver Dragon King Bloodline within the seal, although it was active, it remained under control.

"Brother, is something wrong with me?"

Seeing that Lu Chuan had been silent for so long, Tang Wuyue asked nervously.

It was like going to a doctor: the old physician would be chatting and smiling one moment, then suddenly frown as he took your pulse.

Lu Chuan smiled and ruffled Tang Wuyue's hair. "Don't worry, nothing's wrong. I was just checking whether your cultivation breakthrough came too quickly and might leave any hidden problems."

"Then what did you find?" Tang Wuyue asked, all nerves.

Lu Chuan smiled.

"Your Soul Power is very solid. Looks like those two months of meditation paid off. Do well in the Class Promotion Tournament."

"Really? Then will you come watch me compete?"

"Of course. How could I miss my little sister's match?"

"Really? That's wonderful! Love you, big brother!"

Tang Wuyue cheered, kissed Lu Chuan on the cheek, then bounced out of the room, muttering that she was going to brag to her classmates.

Only after the little girl had completely disappeared from sight did the smile slowly fade from Lu Chuan's face.

Although his examination had found no sign of the seal loosening,

this concerned Wuyue's safety,

and he didn't dare slack off for even a moment.

Based on what he had just sensed,

the seal, at its current strength,

would hold for a long time yet.

But according to Tang San in the original story,

Wuyue had to undo the first seal before her tenth birthday,

or she risked bursting apart.

In the original timeline,

the materials Tang San had asked Tang Wulin to prepare were threefold:

a Hundred-Year Ice Crystal Fruit, a Hundred-Year Red Flame Fruit, and ten drops of blood from a Hundred-Year Soul Beast with dragon blood.

Lu Chuan had prepared all of these long ago.

In fact, he had started laying the groundwork from the very first day he entered the Tang Family.

The Ice Crystal Fruit and Red Flame Fruit were precious,

but for someone with the Star Dou Great Forest as his backing,

they were no more than a few words' effort to obtain.

Back when he was still in the Golden Dragon Pocket World,

he had already ordered Di Tian to gather a batch of Spirit Fruits of suitable age,

and stored them in a specially made Soul Guidance Preservation Device.

As for the blood of a Soul Beast with dragon blood,

that was even simpler.

There was no shortage of anything in the Star Dou Great Forest,

and dragon-blooded Soul Beasts were everywhere.

All three were nourishing, strengthening ingredients, and Wuyue had been eating them regularly.

Lu Chuan had cleverly worked them into her daily meals.

He juiced the Ice Crystal Fruit

and mixed it into her morning milk.

He dried the Red Flame Fruit and ground it into powder, then mixed it into her favorite pastries.

As for the dragon blood, he diluted it and, once every half month, secretly added it to the hot water Xiao Wuyue used for her bath.

As her older brother,

he instinctively wanted to give Wuyue the very best.

Because,

at its core,

surviving the energy shock from the Golden and Silver Dragon King Bloodline seals safely

depended on physical strength.

The stronger the body, the more impact the meridians and bones could withstand.

The reason Tang Wulin had collapsed from exhaustion when the first seal broke in the original story

was partly that the Golden Dragon King's power was too violent,

but also because Tang Wulin's body had only just barely met the minimum requirements for absorbing the Golden Dragon King Seal.

It was nowhere near strong enough to bear the outpouring of the Golden Dragon King's Origin.

Tang Wuyue's situation was much better.

To begin with, her constitution was slightly superior.

Nine-year-old Tang Wulin couldn't swing a thousand-jin hammer.

Then there was the fact that the bloodline in the little girl's body was purely that of the Silver Dragon King,

without the Golden Dragon King's violent Power of Destruction.

The Silver Dragon King had been transformed from the Godhead of Creation and commanded the elements of heaven and earth.

When released, her bloodline power was more like a raging flood than an explosion.

It was just as turbulent,

but at least it wouldn't tear its host apart in an instant.

The one thing Lu Chuan couldn't be sure of

was whether Tang San had made the Golden Dragon King Seal and Silver Dragon King Seal differently...

"You couldn't even tell me how to undo the seal safely before you left!"

"Thinking this through is exhausting!"

Lu Chuan sat at his desk, propped his head on one hand, and muttered a complaint to the full moon outside the window.

What he needed was a "safe unsealing," not an "on-schedule unsealing."

Lu Chuan agonized over it for a long time,

but still couldn't find a solution.

It wasn't that he had no way to help the little girl get through the seal safely,

but that he couldn't think of the best solution.

He wanted the seal inside Tang Wuyue

to be like his own seal:

once she had enough power

and enough understanding,

it would unlock naturally, like water flowing along its course.

"Bi Ji might know what to do."

After thinking hard for a long time without success, Lu Chuan suddenly thought of Bi Ji.

Her mastery of healing and life energy was second to none across the entire Douluo Planet.

If she could help examine the seal,

perhaps she could find its weak points

and determine a safe time to undo it!

With that thought,

Lu Chuan got up and left his room. In the corridor, he took out his Soul Guidance Communicator.

"Bi Ji, I need you to come to Eastsea City."

"I want you to personally check Wuyue's seal."
