--- Chapter 212 ---

In the Star Dou Forest, a few months have passed without any disturbance. Spirit Beasts were still roaming in the entire forest, but the core area occasionally was filled with dragon roars.

Near a beautiful green lake, Kaguya sat with a bowl of sweets pill on her lap. She looked at the lake with a somewhat annoyed yet dull expression.

Yunlong halfway submerged himself in the lake, and Gu Yuena observed him while she was floating above the water surface.

"How many times should I tell you, you're wrong..." Gu Yuena commented while crossing her arms. "Why did you flow your blood in such a bizarre way?"

"But, this works better," Yunlong responded casually, which caused Gu Yuena's mouth to twitch.

Gu Yuena has taught Yunlong how to control his dragon blood for a few months. At first, there were no noticeable problems because he would listen to her words carefully and implement them correctly.

However, Yunlong suddenly has some weird ideas. He started to use hand signs, which caused a strange force to flow bizarrely from his left brain hemisphere.

Yunlong's action caused a rapid reaction of bloodline activation, and his body abruptly released a heavy dragon aura. His upper body quickly was covered with dragon scales, and his eyes had already transformed into dragon eyes.

Gu Yuena literally was marveled at Yunlong's achievement, and she quickly noticed this transformation didn't even last longer compared to what she had taught.

Even though it seemed way more potent than Gu Yuena's original technique, yet it's still unstable and inefficient, which she deemed a useless attempt.

"It's not too late to start over..." Gu Yuena indifferently commented while looking at Yunlong.

"I don't want to." Yunlong firmly answered. "Your technique wasn't flexible enough for me. Sure it gave me more strength, but it still is not enough."

"Also, my technique wasn't even in its perfect form yet." He added while grasping his hands.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly and questioned, "What do you mean by it wasn't even perfect yet?"

Yunlong smiled and calmly pointed at his head. "Second Gate," He whispered.

Boom!

Gu Yuena's face swiftly was smacked with lake water, but she didn't even dodge and stared at Yunlong with astonishment.

"This..." Gu Yuena muttered and closely examined Yunlong's body, which underwent a change and released an intense dragon aura.

"Hmm, Yunlong," Kaguya precisely observed Yunlong's pressure points with her eyes. "To think, he'd use my world's technique."

"Well, there is nothing wrong with it." She continued without really caring much.

BOOM!

Yunlong continued to the next stage, and overflowing energy burst out of his chest, which immediately was turning into dragon scales on his skin.

"I can continue, but let's not be too hasty because this technique isn't perfect yet, like what I've already said before." Yunlong quietly breathed.

Gu Yuena suddenly caressed Yunlong's forehead and commented, "Your body is overheating."

She moved her gaze to the surroundings and added, "That also explains why you evaporated this lake so much."

The green lake was quite plentiful a few moments ago, but when he used his new technique, eight of it literally evaporated in a flash.

Di Tian looked at his lake with a wry smile because it was a treasured lake. It could enrich one's vitality and strengthen one's foundation.

If there is no Gu Yuena, Di Tian wouldn't agree to let Yunlong take a dip there because he became more powerful quickly, considering how young he was as a human.

"At least not all humans were like Yunlong." Bi Ji commented while standing beside Di Tian. "If humans have a lot of people like him, we are just waiting for our demise."

She looked at Di Tian's face and confidently continued, "That's what you are thinking about, right?"

"He has the potential to do so." Di Tian bluntly responded, which caused Bi Ji to giggle slightly.

"He's on our side." Bi Ji moved her gaze to Yunlong, who's arguing with Gu Yuena. "Don't worry much about it."

"You seemed to really believe in him?" Di Tian changed the topic abruptly, which caught Bi Ji off guard.

Bi Ji gently caressed her flowing green hair and calmly replied, "It's simply just a curiosity."

Yunlong walked out of the lake and lay his body below a shady tree, which slowly swept by a gentle breeze.

"Are you okay?" Kaguya asked while putting a towel on his face.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Yunlong smiled slightly, to which Kaguya responded with a nod.

Gu Yuena landed beside them and stated, "Yunlong, your first training is over."

"However, our training doesn't end here." She bluntly continued. "Let's change the scenery."

"Hmm, we are going to another place?" Yunlong frowned because he had been in Star Dou Forest for four months.

In those four months, he received a lot of information from his clone. It was about Qian Renxue, who had finished her second, third, and fourth trials.

Bibi Dong also sent him a few lines about her condition with maids. They were training under her in a hidden place, which put their mind and body to absolute limits.

Yunlong sometimes wondered if they were okay or not, but Bibi Dong cheerfully stated they were okay, which most likely means the opposite because he could still remember her demon training in the past.

"Hey?" Gu Yuena slowly tapped her leg onto the ground. "Are you even listening to me?"

Yunlong wiped his face with a towel and replied, "I'm listening."

"So, what place do you want to visit?" He questioned back.

Gu Yuena frowned for a second and answered, "Let's go to the spirit hall."

Yunlong's expression was weird because he didn't expect Gu Yuena to answer it like that. However, it wasn't an impossible place to visit, so he casually nodded his head in consent.

"Are we going to meet your mother?" Kaguya suddenly asked.

"Well, if she was there, we could meet her." Yunlong shrugged his shoulders.

He moved his gaze to blue skies and yawned, "Haa... Let's go tomorrow morning. I want to rest my body today."

--- Bright Spirit City ---

A group of teenagers entered the city with a surprised expression plastered on their faces.

These teenagers are Shrek Seven Devils, who've been training under Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan for a few months. They want to participate in the continental tournament.

Tang San stood firmly beside Xiao Wu and looked around with a gaze full of awe. "Such a grand city?" He whispered.

"San Ge, are you really okay?" Xiao Wu asked with a worried expression. "I know that you have fully recovered because of Rongrong's father, but you seem to act weird these days."

"I'm okay, Xiao Wu." Tang San gently patted Xiao Wu's head. "Teacher said my body had fully recovered and didn't feel weird."

"My spirit bones also attached back and even evolved because of Ning Clan Head's help." He continued with a smile.

Xiao Wu could only nod her head and felt somewhat weird in her heart as if something horrible was about to happen to them.

Ma Hongjun stood near his sister, who had been so quiet after she quickly was defeated by Batman in the spirit arena. It was quite a blow to her pride and heart because she never lost to a male.

'Even when she fought Tang San, it still ended as a draw.' Ma Hongjun thought while looking at his sister.

'Batman... who are you?' Ma Xiaotao briefly shook her head.

She casually observed the city and calmly instructed, "Let's find an inn first."

The Shrek seven devils nodded their heads, and they peacefully entered the city, enjoying the scenery. Unaware, Liu Erlong was standing above the wall and observed them.

"How amusing...." Liu Erlong chuckled slightly.
