Power! Come Out of My Body!
Until she discovered Bai Yushan.
This young man's power system transcends all conventional constraints of Martial Soul, Soul Power, and Soul Ring. It does not belong to the human race, nor to Soul Beast, nor to any known system in the world; it is a completely transcendent and heaven-defying ability.
His growth rate, physical strength, combat talent, and mental fortitude are all at the highest level.
Most importantly, he has unlimited potential for growth, an unknown upper limit, and is not bound by the rules of heaven and earth, nor by the destiny of his race.
For Gu Yue, who was trapped in a desperate situation and could see no way forward, this was the only variable, the only hope, and the only way out.
Even though Bai Yushan is still very weak now, as long as he is given time, he can really grow to the point of shaking the entire continent.
This is a gamble.
Gu Yue was betting on the future of Bai Yushan.
I'm betting that he can really rise to prominence, that he can really keep his promises, and that he can help me fulfill my lifelong dream.
She had no choice but to accept this gamble, and she accepted it willingly.
Because this is her only chance, and also the only chance for the Soul Beast Clan.
After a brief silence, the coldness and gloom in Gu Yue's eyes completely dissipated.
She completely abandoned all her probing, defensiveness, and confrontational mindset, and her cool face regained its composure, even showing a hint of relief.
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in pretending, and no need for probing. It's better to form an open alliance, go for it both ways, and get what we need.
Gu Yue slowly extended her fair and slender hand towards Bai Yushan on the hospital bed, her tone calm, yet carrying the solemnity of having finalized everything.
"In that case, let's make a deal."
"I look forward to your guidance in the days to come."
Bai Yushan looked at the slender hand outstretched before him, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.
He knew very well that from this moment on, their relationship was no longer just a simple friendship, but an alliance bound by interests, a future, and a bond.
He slowly raised his hand, which was calloused and covered with tiny wounds, and gently grasped Gu Yue's soft hand.
The boy's hands, slightly cool from his injuries, were remarkably steady and strong; the moment you grasped them, you felt an overwhelming sense of security and certainty.
Bai Yushan raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes were clear and bright, and his tone was confident and assertive, without the slightest hesitation.
"Rest assured."
"The decision you made today is absolutely the best choice you've ever made in your life."
You will never regret this decision today.
Palms touched, warmth mingled.
One who bears the destiny of the Dragon Clan, desperately seeking a path to revival, finds himself trapped in a desperate situation with no way out.
A being with extraordinary abilities, defying fate, and desiring to ascend to the heavens and look down upon all living beings.
Each got what they wanted and held their own stakes, thus binding them together completely.
Looking at the arrogant and confident young man before her, Gu Yue's last trace of worry completely vanished.
She suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zi JI was crushed to the point of mental breakdown downstairs.
This young man was never a pawn that anyone could manipulate or scheme against at will.
From beginning to end, he was the one playing the game.
After Bai Yushan personally called to confirm, Yu Zhen, the dean of the Eastsea Academy, readily granted Bai Yushan a three-day leave.
On the phone, Bai Yushan spoke calmly, only saying that he was feeling unwell and needed to rest and recuperate away from home. He didn't say a word more, nor did he mention that he had been seriously injured in a bloody battle and almost died.
Yu Zhen had no idea what major event had happened to Bai Yushan, nor did he know that his precious student, whom he regarded as the future of the Eastsea Academy and the apple of his eye, had fought to the death yesterday in a desolate forest on the outskirts of the city against four Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, fighting until he was severely injured and exhausted and fell into a coma.
If Yu Zhen knew the whole truth, he would never have only granted three days of leave. He would have rushed over immediately and taken Bai Yushan directly to the best hospital in the East Sea Federation for a comprehensive examination and treatment, without daring to delay for even a moment.
In Yu Zhen's mind, Bai Yushan was the most talented student. His temperament, combat strength, and foundation were all at the top level among his peers. He was a promising talent that the academy was focusing on cultivating, and no mistakes could be tolerated.
However, Bai Yushan deliberately concealed his injuries, easily obtaining three days of rest time with a simple statement of feeling unwell.
To an outsider, someone who has suffered severe injuries all over their body and almost lost half their life should need at least ten days to two weeks of rest before they can get out of bed. A three-day holiday seems ridiculously short and not nearly enough for recovery.
It might be difficult for Bai Yushan to fully recover from such an injury, but it's unlikely that it can't be fully recovered!
But Bai Yushan didn't care about these common rules at all.
His recovery ability was beyond reason from beginning to end, completely defying the recovery patterns of Soul Master.
Three days is barely enough time for an ordinary Soul Master to even have a wound scab over, but for him, it was enough time to complete a deep repair.
In the villa's bedroom, Bai Yushan, who had been quiet for three whole days, finally broke his composed and demure demeanor.
For the previous three days, he was severely injured, and the high-voltage current in his body was restricted by his physical injuries, making it impossible for him to unleash it at full power. It was as if his super strength had been completely sealed.
Unable to use his super power, his consciousness was completely occupied by super intelligence, and he entered a state of extreme calmness, like a sage.
During those three days at Bai Yushan, he was extremely rational, his mind was frighteningly meticulous, he could see through people and things at a glance, his intelligence was always on point, and he looked at everyone with a contemptuous disdain.
Whether it's Gu Yue or Zi JI, as long as they enter his room and spend time with him, even if it's just something as simple as bringing him food or water, they feel extremely uncomfortable after just three minutes.
The feeling was particularly eerie, as if all my thoughts, actions, and schemes were completely seen through by the other person, leaving me utterly transparent and without any secrets.
Zi JI, who has a weaker mental fortitude, gets tingling on her scalp and tense all over after a short while, as if she's being watched by a natural enemy. She's in a state of high alert like a spiny dragon, unable to sit still.
Even Gu Yue, Silver Dragon King had lived for countless years and possessed a calm and composed temperament, was extremely cautious and dared not make any unnecessary movements or thoughts during the three days he spent with Bai Yushan, who was in a state of enlightenment.
It's so depressing.
A nine-year-old boy, with his rationality, shrewdness, vision, and deductive reasoning, completely overwhelmed the two of them. The oppressive feeling brought about by this contrast was something no one could easily withstand.
Fortunately, this suffocating state of being a sage has finally come to a complete end today.
"Hahaha! Power! Come forth from my body!"
Suddenly, Bai Yushan's hearty and manic laughter rang out in the quiet bedroom.
Without any warning or preparation, the boy, who had been quietly resting against the headboard, suddenly changed from his previous refined and calm demeanor.
His entire aura changed completely. He was no longer the wise and insightful man who had everything under control, but instead reverted to that unrestrained, capricious, and unruly madman.
