Everyone in the Infirmary

Luo Qing was not surprised when he saw the exaggerated report. After all, the girl before him had truly been blessed by the Life Goddess.

The blessing that the Life God King had bestowed at the cost of her own power was gradually revealing its effects.

But logically speaking, wasn't the Life Goddess's blessing supposed to be used to suppress the Golden Dragon King's bloodline?

Could it be that the Golden Dragon King had died even more thoroughly this time?

Luo Qing looked at Tang Wulin lying on the bed, countless thoughts running through his mind.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

The medical teacher looked up and said, "Come in."

"Creak—"

The door was pushed open, revealing Xie Xie and Gu Yue.

"Why are you two here?"

Luo Qing seemed rather surprised. Logically speaking, the two of them had also suffered fairly serious injuries in the earlier battle.

Even Gu Yue, who had been injured the least, needed time to recuperate. After all, he knew exactly how much strength he had used against her.

"Aren't we worried about our teammate? Besides, Luo Qing, you were really ruthless."

Xie Xie set the snacks in his hands beside him and handed Luo Qing a pack.

"Exactly. You called us companions, yet you hit so hard!"

Gu Yue sat down on Luo Qing's other side.

All of them stared at Tang Wulin, who lay unconscious on the bed.

"Didn't we agree to go all out? So I only hit a little harder.

But you two should be fine, right?

I remember being quite measured with my strength. I shouldn't have gone for the kill."

Xie Xie actually laughed. If that did not count as going for the kill, then if Luo Qing truly did, would his head have fallen off the moment they met?

Seeing that neither of them seemed to like this topic, Luo Qing, a master of conversation, naturally decided to find another subject.

"Have you received your rewards yet?"

Luo Qing looked at the two before him.

"Teacher Wu Zhangkong already told us. Once our injuries have healed and Tang Wulin has recovered, we'll head to the Ascension Platform in the Spirit Pagoda—and it seems you have a share too."

Gu Yue pulled out a bag of chips from the snacks beside her and tore open the packaging as she spoke.

"Really? I was originally thinking of finding a way to get in myself, but it turns out Teacher Wu Zhangkong has already arranged it for me..."

While they were talking, Tang Wulin's spiritual sea had changed completely.

Her originally somewhat narrow spiritual sea had expanded greatly after this near-limit evolution.

At least Old Tang now had plenty of room to live in, but he was far more worried than pleased.

"Why can't this silly girl read the situation? They were already preparing to stop, yet she still insisted on charging in..."

"Still, the way she held on until the end wasn't bad. She's got some of my ruthlessness from back then!"

Old Tang recalled the battle. His daughter, Tang Wulin, had gained a great deal from this fight.

Not only had she unlocked the Golden Dragon Claw, but she had also gradually unlocked the Life Goddess's blessing. Perhaps the once-weak Blue Silver Grass would regain its former standing and transform into the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Looking at it that way, it doesn't seem like much of a loss..."

Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he swiftly floated over to Tang Wulin, who was also unconscious within the spiritual sea.

"Wake up—wake up!"

Tang Wulin sleepily opened her eyes and discovered that the originally cramped spiritual sea had changed dramatically.

The specks of light that had once flickered around her like stars had disappeared, and the entire spiritual sea had become much brighter.

Standing before her with a worried expression was Old Tang.

"What is it, Old Tang?"

Tang Wulin sat upright and looked doubtfully at the anxious Old Tang.

"You unlocked the power within your body earlier, but one of those powers is extremely difficult to control. Can you show it to me?"

What Old Tang worried about most were the Golden Dragon King bloodline and divine core within Tang Wulin's body.

If either of those went wrong, his precious daughter could truly explode and die!

"Oh—"

Tang Wulin activated her power again. Faint golden patterns appeared on her arms and cheeks.

The patterns gradually solidified into scale after scale. The sharp claws of a golden dragon also emerged from Tang Wulin's hands.

"Strange. Why does it seem so peaceful? There isn't the slightest sign of it going berserk?"

Old Tang was bewildered. Logically speaking, the Golden Dragon King had injected all his power and everything else into the body of the daughter before him in order to kill her.

So why did this power feel as though it had acknowledged his daughter?

"Strange, far too strange..."

Old Tang had long noticed that the seal had been damaged, but he had never expected the Golden Dragon King's power to be so docile within Tang Wulin.

"Is there something wrong with this power?"

Tang Wulin looked at Old Tang, who kept getting startled over nothing, her eyes full of confusion.

"This power should have been extremely violent. I was worried it might hurt you, so I wanted to take a look."

Old Tang examined it three times and found no sign of unrest at all. Only then did he finally relax.

"It's fine. This is my own power!

I'll use my own will to control it and treat it like a qualified mount!"

"There definitely won't be one of those situations from comics where someone gets controlled by their power and goes berserk."

Just as Tang Wulin finished speaking, she remembered something and anxiously asked, "Old Tang, about how long have I been unconscious?"

"About an afternoon. Why?"

"Oh no, Big Brother is probably still waiting beside me!"

Tang Wulin hurriedly and anxiously withdrew from her spiritual sea.

The moment she opened her eyes, she found three people staring worriedly at her. The medical teacher beside her had already prepared an injection.

"Why is everyone looking at me like that?"

Tang Wulin blurted out instinctively, only to discover that her hands and face were covered in golden scales.

"Oh no, activating my bloodline affects my physical body directly... Does that mean everyone thinks my bloodline has gone berserk?"

"If you hadn't woken up soon, once the teacher gave you that sedative, you would've slept for several more days."

Luo Qing helplessly rubbed Tang Wulin's smooth head, and Tang Wulin quickly withdrew the bloodline manifestation.

As the scales and dragon claws vanished once more, everyone finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, though they all looked at Tang Wulin with a trace of reproach.

"Why did you push yourself like that?"

As the team captain, Gu Yue was the first to question her. There was some concern in her voice. "This was only a spar, not a life-or-death battle.

There was no need to force yourself to face an enemy you couldn't possibly match."

"If this keeps up, the infirmary is practically going to become your dorm room..."

Xie Xie also jumped into the conversation. "Exactly. I feel like after every duel, you end up recovering here again."

"Then even if we go out to eat something delicious, we can't exactly bring a patient like you along!"

Sure enough, Xie Xie was the first to strike Tang Wulin's weak point.

The moment she heard that she might not be able to go out and eat with everyone, Tang Wulin looked even more devastated than if her father had died.

"No!

If everyone goes out to eat and leaves me here alone, wait until ten thousand years after I'm dead to do that!"

"Silly girl, he's teasing you!"

Luo Qing forcefully pinched her cheek and said with amusement, "The teacher just told me that your body is perfectly healthy. We'll go out together in a bit."

"To the snack street!"

At those words, Tang Wulin sprang straight up from the hospital bed.

"Then what are we waiting for?"
