N-A-A Chapter 16 Breakthrough to Soul Master
Chapter 16 Breakthrough to Soul Master
Above the Lake of Life, dark clouds gathered, and purple lightning roared and rolled within the clouds, each flash illuminating the entire forest as if it were the end of the world.
That oppressive aura sent chills down the spines of all the ferocious beasts.
On the lake, Yang Teng sat cross-legged. Thanks to the immense vitality of the Lake of Life and the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he gradually regained his strength.
Silver light flowed across his body, faintly echoing the purple lightning in the sky.
His eyes gleamed with a silvery-purple light.
next moment.
"roar!!!"
A thunderous dragon's roar echoed throughout the Starry Sky Forest.
Yang Teng transformed into a streak of silver-purple light and soared into the sky, the light rapidly expanding into a giant dragon more than ten feet long!
The silver-purple scales shimmered, each one swirling with ripples of time and space.
Di Tian and the group of ferocious beasts couldn't help but feel fear.
Emerald Swan Brigitte took a half step back, and the vines of the Demon King involuntarily contracted, while Bear Lord clenched his claws.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, both 100,000-year-old soul beasts, trembled slightly under this dragon's might.
Di Tian was slightly better off. He had personally witnessed Yang Teng land directly in the Star Dou Great Forest, but now that he saw Yang Teng's true form, being a fellow dragon, his blood flowed even faster.
That was a resonance and awe that came from the depths of one's blood.
"Emperor Heaven!"
Zi Ji asked in a low voice, her voice filled with barely suppressed horror.
"Is he the Dragon God?"
Zi Ji is also a pure-blooded true dragon, and her bloodline as a hellish demon dragon makes her extremely sensitive to the aura of dragons.
She could sense that the aura of this silver-purple dragon was different from that of the Dragon God; it was more ancient, more mysterious, and more...powerful.
Di Tian shook his head, his gaze complex.
"no……"
He didn't continue speaking, but looked at Gu Yuena.
Their lord stood silently by the lake, his silver eyes fixed on the giant dragon in the sky, his silver dragon spear trembling slightly, whether from excitement or vigilance, it was hard to tell.
Seeing this, Murasaki stopped asking questions.
In the air, the giant dragon that Yang Teng had transformed into roared to the sky.
Come on!
He is provoking the heavenly tribulation.
As if enraged, purple lightning bolts crashed down from the clouds!
The enormous pillar of lightning struck down with such speed that it left no afterimage. Yang Teng had just soared into the sky when he was forcefully pushed back into the Lake of Life!
"boom!!!"
The lake water burst open, creating waves hundreds of meters high, splashing with the breath of life.
There was no chance to catch their breath.
The second bolt of lightning condensed extremely quickly, almost instantly forming the moment the first bolt struck.
A purple light tore through the sky, striking the dragon in the lake with pinpoint accuracy once more, and then a third time…
Yang Teng rolled around in the lake, his silver-purple scales began to turn slightly black, and some parts were torn by lightning, flowing out blood with nine colors. The blood dripped into the Lake of Life, causing the lake water to shimmer with a strange radiance.
"Yang Teng!"
Gu Yuena finally couldn't hold back any longer.
She leaped into the air, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall in the lightning, her silver dragon spear slicing through the air as she landed beside Yang Teng's massive dragon head, placing one hand on the scales on his forehead.
A vast and pure life force was injected into Yang Teng's body.
That was the Silver Dragon King's primordial power, far purer than the Lake of Life. The charred scales on Yang Teng's body began to repair themselves at a visible speed, and the flow of his nine-colored blood stopped.
The heavenly tribulation seemed quite satisfied, letting out a startled cry in the air before disappearing.
"rest assured."
Yang Teng's voice rang in Gu Yuena's mind, tinged with laughter.
"This is just a show of force! I can handle it!"
The silvery-purple light receded, and the dragon's form dissipated.
Yang Teng transformed back into human form, his clothes torn to shreds, revealing scorch marks and healing wounds covering his strong body.
He grinned, a trace of iridescent blood still clinging to the corner of his mouth.
Gu Yuena supported his head with one hand and pressed her other hand against his chest, continuing to channel life force into him. Her movements were very gentle, and a barely perceptible worry flashed in her silver eyes.
Looking at her face so close to his, Yang Teng thought, "Gu Yuena looks just like my little wife right now."
This thought made him laugh again.
Still laughing?
Gu Yuena glared at him, but didn't stop what she was doing.
"Why did you provoke him! Three consecutive strikes without stopping, even Di Tian couldn't withstand that."
Yang Teng looked up at the sky, watching the dark clouds gradually dissipate, his eyes filled with excitement.
……
After spending two weeks in the Star Dou Great Forest, Yang Teng has fully recovered.
Not only were his injuries healed, but his soul power also broke through to level 44 under the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation and the nourishment of the Lake of Life.
Of course, more importantly, the pressure on him from the position has been reduced a bit.
Although it was only a barely perceptible loosening, Yang Teng could clearly feel that the omnipresent sense of rejection had subsided slightly, and even his breathing had become much smoother.
"It's time to go back."
Yang Teng stretched and looked at Gu Yuena.
"The Elite Tournament is about to begin."
Gu Yuena nodded, and the Silver Dragon Spear tore open a spatial rift.
When the two returned to Tianshui Academy, there were only three days left until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.
Yang Teng missed the match against Barak Academy, but under Gu Yuena's leadership, they easily won with overwhelming speed.
Shui Yunxia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yang Teng return.
"Was it an easy win?" Yang Teng asked casually.
"Gu Yuena fought seven people all by herself."
Shui Yunxia's tone was complex.
"One minute is up."
Yang Teng whistled and looked at Gu Yuena.
The silver-haired girl remained expressionless, as if she had only done something insignificant.
"The All-Continent Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament is the day after tomorrow."
Yang Teng rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Not only can I beat Tang San, but I can also get three soul bones. How wonderful!"
Gu Yuena glanced at him: "You seem quite excited?"
"Of course I'm looking forward to it."
Yang Teng smiled like a fox that had just stolen a chicken.
"Shrek Academy, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai... they're all old friends."
He emphasized the words "old friend".
Shui Yunxia couldn't understand what they were saying, but she could sense the fighting spirit in Yang Teng's tone.
"Get ready."
She said only one last thing before turning and leaving.
Only Yang Teng and Gu Yuena remained in the room.
"Are you really fully healed?"
Gu Yuena suddenly asked.
"alright."
Yang Teng stretched his arms.
"Not only is it better, but the pressure from the plane has also lessened. Now, my physical strength is probably enough to withstand an attack from an ordinary Soul Saint."
Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.
Don't be too stubborn.
Yang Teng was stunned for a moment and looked at her. Gu Yuena had already turned and walked towards the door, her long silver hair covering her profile.
"Xiao Na".
He called out to her.
Gu Yuena stopped, but did not turn around.
"Thank you."
Yang Teng said this with a rare seriousness in his tone.
"In the Lake of Life, there is always...time."
Gu Yuena's shoulders twitched slightly.
"You're welcome."
She said in a low voice.
"You still owe us your promise. If I don't die, you can't die!"
After saying that, she pushed open the door and left.
Yang Teng looked at the closed door, smiled, walked to the window, and gazed into the distance.
That's where the tournament is being held, in the direction of Tiandou City.
"Tang San!"
He murmured to himself.
"This time, the story needs to be written in a different way."
