Golden Dragon Mysterious Circle Kill had completely engulfed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

She gritted her teeth. It felt as though countless blades were slicing across her body, and pain contorted her face.

"Golden Dragon..."

Gu Yuena grew anxious. Even if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion died, the power of destiny would remain, but...

Pfft~

The golden tornado dispersed. Golden blood covered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and she swayed on her feet.

"Golden Dragon Lord, I'm still standing~"

Lu Ming nodded and gave the determined Three-Eyed Golden Lion a faint smile.

That smile meant she had earned the Golden Dragon Lord's approval.

Once she had his approval, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vision went black. Xiao Wu rushed over and caught her in her arms.

"Xiao Wu, give Little Rui a Medicinal Bath. Have her come find me once she's recovered."

Xiao Wu nodded and brushed the hair away from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's ear, her thoughts racing.

In bloodline, the Auspicious Beast can't hold a candle to the Golden Dragon Lord. If she's working this hard, how can I fall behind?

Xiao Wu clenched her fist to encourage herself, looking adorable.

A day later,

"My Lord, I've recovered! Teach me your Self-Created Soul Skill!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion blinked, her eyes shining. Lu Ming's eyes, by contrast, looked a little dull.

"You did well, Golden Dragon. You'll get another reward tonight!"

Little Silver Dragon Gu Yuena looked radiant, her skin as youthful as an eighteen-year-old girl's, though she carried herself with the poise of a mature woman.

She smiled sweetly, her eyes following Lu Ming's retreating figure with lingering reluctance.

"Golden Dragon Rending the Sky works by circulating Soul Power and compressing it into your golden dragon claws, then releasing it all at once to slash out golden blades of light."

"Now, follow the path of my Soul Power and memorize it. You can't make the slightest mistake!"

Lu Ming wrapped his broad, sturdy hand around the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's small hand and guided warm Soul Power into her body.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion blushed, her heart racing. She did her best to contain her excitement as she memorized the path of the Golden Dragon Lord's Soul Power.

An hour later, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion opened her eyes, which shone brilliantly.

"Come on. Show me what you've learned!"

"Yes, My Lord!"

Golden Dragon Rending the Sky!

The Golden Dragon swung her foreclaws. Golden Soul Power gathered in them before she slashed with all her might.

Two golden streaks of light shot out in a cross. After traveling five or six meters, they gradually faded and disappeared.

Lu Ming assessed her attempt. "Getting this far on your first try is impressive! Once you've mastered it, it'll be a trump card."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded firmly. Xiao Wu jogged over to call them to eat, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said she wasn't hungry and went back to practicing.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming had spent a month in the Star Dou Great Forest.

His Soul Power had reached level 56, and he had finished adding Soul Rings to his second Martial Soul, the Heavenly Frost Dragon Roar Sword.

Training with Little Silver Dragon had brought him visible progress.

Lu Ming smiled. If not for how exhausting the nights were, he really would have liked to keep training this way until he became a Titled Douluo.

"The three of you are leaving today, so I'll give you a proper sparring match!"

Little Silver Dragon Gu Yuena released her aura, keeping her Soul Power at the level of a Soul King.

"Go easy on me, Little Silver Dragon~"

"You wouldn't want anything to happen to me, would you?"

Gu Yuena felt her cheeks grow warm.

I couldn't bear it!

"Xiao Wu, Little Rui, I've temporarily wrapped you in a layer of my bloodline power. It'll greatly reduce the pressure from Little Silver Dragon. Go all out!"

"Understood!"

Xiao Wu and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion answered in unison.

Gu Yuena smiled. "Golden Dragon, making the girls go first? You're asking for a beating!"

A black sphere appeared in Gu Yuena's fair hand. It was the result of Space Collapse, though for now it was only the size of a ping-pong ball.

Lu Ming's heart tightened. He couldn't let Little Silver Dragon release it.

"Third Soul Skill, Instantaneous Movement!"

Xiao Wu vanished from where she stood and reappeared behind Little Silver Dragon.

She aimed her long legs at Gu Yuena's slender waist. The Golden Dragon Lord had once said it was the softest part of the human body.

A kick there would take a while to recover from.

Sorry, Silver Dragon Lord!

Bang!

Xiao Wu froze. Her long leg had been stopped dead, as if by an invisible wall.

Pain shot back through her leg. Xiao Wu landed on her left foot and rubbed the other leg with both hands.

Golden Dragon Roar!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mental attack struck, making Gu Yuena pause before she could make her next move against Xiao Wu.

"Auspicious Beast, you've made a terrible mistake. You dare use mental power against me?"

Lu Ming was startled.

"Little Rui, don't!"

Lu Ming wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

Golden Dragon Roar dissolved the instant it touched Gu Yuena. The backlash followed at once. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes rolled back, her mind descended into chaos, and she collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Wu stared, utterly unable to understand what had happened.

The pressure of the Golden Dragon Lord's bloodline still shielded them. At least, it hadn't worn off yet.

So how had the Silver Dragon Lord done it? She hadn't even defended or counterattacked, yet the Auspicious Beast had been knocked out just like that.

"Eight-Stage..."

"Space Lock!"

Gu Yuena closed her hand, and layers of spatial power trapped Xiao Wu in a cage.

Xiao Wu never got to use Eight-Stage Fall.

"Golden Dragon, you've been charging up for a while. Let's see if you can handle this little thing in my hand!"

Gu Yuena truly lived up to the name Silver Dragon King. Even with her cultivation suppressed to their level, her control over the elements, her grasp of the situation, and her ability to react were beyond anything the three of them could match.

The pressure on Lu Ming intensified.

The auras of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King collided.

Self-Created Soul Skill, Heavenly Frost Immortal Sword!

A cold gleam flashed along the Heavenly Frost Dragon Roar Sword and shot out like a laser.

Gu Yuena smiled faintly and unleashed a barrage of Ice Cone Techniques. Fireballs propelled the ice cones from behind, sending them hurtling forward.

"Hm?"

Gu Yuena was surprised. She hadn't expected Golden Dragon's Self-Created Soul Skill to be so strong. Still, her Ice Cone Technique hadn't been useless; it had weakened the attack somewhat. In the end, she dealt with it using Space Strangulation.

"Ah~"

"Look out!"

Lu Ming finished charging his attack. The Golden Dragon King spun his entire body, using his wings as weapons. At high speed, he became like a whirling drill.

The spinning wings even carved cracks through space.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Spiral Kill!"

"Well now, Golden Dragon! Not bad!"

The black sphere flew from Gu Yuena's hand and struck the golden dragon's wings. It burst instantly, turning into a miniature black hole.

Golden Dragon Spiral Kill was sucked in. Gu Yuena's lips curved upward, and she was about to say Golden Dragon's fifth Soul Skill wasn't quite up to par.

But then the black hole shattered with a roar. The rapidly spinning golden dragon charged at Gu Yuena, its power barely diminished.

"Elemental Tides!"

Gu Yuena thrust out both hands. A tide formed from several elements clashed with Golden Dragon Spiral Kill, and she had to release another portion of her sealed power before she finally stopped it.

Lu Ming panted heavily, his face flushed.

"Well, Little Silver Dragon?"

Gu Yuena stared at him in a daze. She had only suppressed her cultivation to their level. Her physical strength and reaction speed hadn't changed!

Golden Dragon had improved so much during their time together.

"Golden Dragon, you're becoming more of a monster by the day!"

"We're playing one round before you're allowed to leave!"
