Silver Dragon King: Scram!

"Brother, what is the Golden Dragon Breathing Technique?"

"It is a cultivation method far stronger than the Civil Meditation Method you are currently learning. It is something your brother created himself. Remember, do not tell outsiders."

"Oh, oh. Is it hard to learn?" Tang Wuyue tilted her head up, her small face filled with nervousness.

Lu Chuan chuckled and said, "Since it's a technique created by your brother, of course it's hard!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wuyue's little face immediately fell.

"But it isn't hard for you!"

Lu Chuan added.

In an instant, the little girl's eyes regained their luster.

She was just like a voice-activated doll.

Eastsea Academy

Lu Chuan's private training ground

The morning light was faint, stretching the youth's silhouette long across the ground.

Lu Chuan stood in the center of the training ground with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright sunshine, and silently praised, "This kind of weather is best for cultivation."

Yet, it made Tang Wuyue feel, in a trance, that the brother before her and the big sister from her dreams were gradually overlapping, bearing an indescribable similarity;

both were like this, as if standing above the clouds, smiling down upon all living things.

"What are you thinking about? So lost in thought?"

"Stand properly first!"

Seeing Tang Wuyue dazed, Lu Chuan walked behind the little girl and gave her a light smack on her little bottom, feeling rather annoyed.

Must say, the texture was quite nice—bouncy and firm.

"No wonder Teacher Wu likes using a willow switch to hit people's bottoms; this feeling is quite satisfying, huh!"

Lu Chuan looked at his hand, still savoring the sensation, completely failing to notice that the little girl's face had already turned beet red.

Having just had his fun, he began to correct the little girl's posture.

"For the breathing technique, the state of mind is paramount. Close your eyes."

Tang Wuyue hurriedly complied, closing her eyes and focusing her mind.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan continued:

"Imagine your body is a furnace, and your Soul Power is the fire burning within. Ordinary soul masters cultivate by adding firewood to make the fire burn brighter. But the Golden Dragon Breathing Technique..."

"Is about forging. With every inhale and exhale, it is like a hammer falling, constantly compressing and solidifying your scattered Soul Power."

As Lu Chuan spoke, he gently pressed his palms against the center of Tang Wuyue's back, channeling his own Soul Power into her body, guiding her internal energy to flow along the designated path.

"Follow my rhythm. Inhale, condense it in your dantian. Exhale, channel it to your limbs. Slow, even slower..."

As the instruction deepened, Tang Wuyue's breathing gradually fell into the rhythm.

And so, it continued without pause for a day.

Half a month later, as night fell, when Tang Wuyue opened her eyes again, the results were already remarkable!

She looked within herself, and discovered with pleasant surprise, The Soul Power that had previously flowed like a stream was now surging like the Yellow River, rushing forward without end!

Although her cultivation level had not increased, the total volume of her Soul Power had doubled.

Just as she was about to share this joy with Lu Chuan, a sudden wave of exhaustion washed over her!

Not only that, but her chest began to burn, as if a tiny sun were scorching beneath her skin.

"Brother?"

She instinctively called out for Lu Chuan.

Hearing her voice, Lu Chuan immediately rushed from the living room into the bedroom.

For the past few days, he and Bi Ji had been keeping watch around the clock, waiting for the seal to break on its own.

Now that the moment had arrived, the two of them immediately began to stand guard.

"Wuyue, Brother is here! You must not fall asleep. This is the critical moment to break through the seal; if you fall asleep, your Soul Power will run wild inside your body uncontrollably."

"Brother, but I... I'm so sleepy!" Tang Wuyue struggled to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as lead, impossible to lift.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan couldn't help but frown, because in the original story, Tang Wulin never experienced such a situation; he only lost consciousness due to the excruciating pain after enduring the first seal.

But during the sealing process itself, he had remained awake the entire time.

What was going on?

Lu Chuan instinctively looked toward Bi Ji.

Bi Ji shook her head; after probing with her life energy, she had not been able to determine the cause either.

It wasn't until Lu Chuan inadvertently caught a glimpse of a faint, purplish glint flashing in Tang Wuyue's pupils that he suddenly realized:

It wasn't that Xiao Wuyue was sleepy, but that someone was trying to pull her into a dream!

"Wuyue, if you are sleepy, then sleep in peace. Brother will help you get through this."

Lu Chuan said softly.

As soon as the words left his lips, Tang Wuyue immediately fell asleep and sank into a dream.

In the dream, she was once again at that boundless Silver Lake, where starlight fell upon the water and not a ripple stirred.

The Silver Dragon King stood silently at the center of the lake, her long silver-white dress trailing on the ground, the hem blending seamlessly with the lake water.

She turned her head, her purple eyes filled with a beaming smile, appearing even clearer and more... majestic than she had a month ago.

"The one-month deadline has arrived. Little girl, are you ready?"

Tang Wuyue nodded instinctively.

Despite the lingering fear in her heart, the thought of her brother guarding her in the real world gave her a sudden surge of courage.

The Silver Dragon King chuckled.

He pointed his finger into the air.

The water surface beneath Tang Wuyue's feet suddenly collapsed.

She plummeted downward, but instead of falling into water, she landed in a vast, boundless sea of silver light.

Before she could react, the Silver Dragon King's majestic voice suddenly echoed in her ears, "First seal, open."

Following this declaration, Tang Wuyue felt as if her soul had been gripped by something, and then... torn apart!

A wave of excruciating pain surged through her!

It was not physical pain, but a stripping and restructuring originating from the very source of her life.

She saw within her body a silver gate of light, entwined with countless ancient runes, cracking open with a faint fissure amidst a deafening roar.

Then, the gate swung wide!

Unlike the violent Bloodline Power of the Golden Dragon King, the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King contained the power of elements!

Every time that silver gate of light trembled, a torrent of different elements poured into the young girl's body.

Fire scorched her meridians, ice froze her bone marrow, gale winds tore at her soul, and the earth suppressed her spirit...

Seven extreme forces collided wildly within her, as if they were determined to burst her "vessel" wide open.

Argh—! It hurts!

In her dream, Tang Wuyue couldn't help but cry out in pain.

In reality, the sleeping Tang Wuyue suddenly arched her back and let out the same cry.

Lu Chuan realized immediately that his sister's seal had been broken!

But a problem arose: Tang Wuyue was asleep, so how could she consume the Ice Crystal Fruit and the Red Flame Fruit?

Should he crush them and feed them to her?

"My Lord, let me handle this."

Just as Lu Chuan hesitated, Bi Ji volunteered. Without giving Lu Chuan a chance to refuse, she leaned down without hesitation, lightly pinched an Ice Crystal Fruit between her fingertips, and prepared to crush it to pass the juice into Tang Wuyue's mouth.

However, the sleeping Tang Wuyue seemed to resist instinctively, her teeth clenched tight, her lips pressed into a stubborn line.

"Forgive me, Miss."

Bi Ji frowned and whispered, Emerald light condensed in her palm, Preparing to force open her lips and teeth.

However, Just as Bi Ji's fingertips were about to touch Tang Wuyue's skin—

A sudden change occurred!

The air in the entire room abruptly solidified, The temperature plummeted to freezing, Only to immediately boil over with the intensity of a prairie fire!

Amidst the interlacing light and shadows, An indescribable, terrifying pressure, as if originating from the ancient primordial era, descended with a boom, Pressing down out of thin air like a physical mountain!

Bi Ji let out a muffled groan, Her protective green light shattered upon impact, And she was sent flying backward as if struck in the chest by an invisible giant hammer, Crashing heavily against the reinforced wall, A sweetness rose in her throat, And a mouthful of blood sprayed out, Staining her robes red.

She looked up in horror, Only to see that above the sleeping Tang Wuyue, A massive, sky-obscuring phantom of a Silver Vertical Pupil had faintly emerged from the void!

That Silver Vertical Pupil was cold and ruthless, Containing the supreme will to command all beasts and judge all living beings, A single gaze, Was enough to make Bi Ji's soul tremble.

Fear spread through her heart in an instant, She instinctively looked toward Lu Chuan, However, the Silver Vertical Pupil gave her no chance, Completely blocking her vision, Depriving her of elements, Depriving her of her five senses, In just an instant, She seemed to have fallen into boundless darkness!

Immediately following, An ancient, majestic voice, devoid of the slightest emotion, Boomed from the depths of the Silver Vertical Pupil in the void, "Begone!"

"Should you dare to commit such an act of insubordination again, you die!"
