Chapter 169: I Will Surely Replace Him!
Gu Yuena’s eyelids twitched, and she said with some hesitation, “Bai Yu, what are you thinking? You’re not trying to see if the spirit power routes within my body can produce spirit rings, are you?”
Bai Yu leaned back, thinking to himself, “Why is this woman sometimes sharp and sometimes silly?”
“Hiss, your line of thinking is quite unique. I already said that you don’t belong to Spirit Beasts, and your power isn’t spirit power, so how could it produce spirit rings?”
“But that’s not necessarily true. spirit rings are impossible, but under the influence of the Douluo Continent’s rules, you might be able to produce divine rings?”
Gu Yuena was also a bit confused. She didn’t know the answer to this question either, but she didn’t want to dwell on it. If Bai Yu had the ability, she would let him try to research if he could create a divine ring.
“Since you want to see, then let’s go. I’ll take you to my true body. It’s a good opportunity for me to test how effective your power is on me.”
After Gu Yuena finished speaking, she waved her hand to open a spatial passage and stepped inside.
As Bai Yu followed behind, his eyes flickered slightly. He hadn’t expected that the Gu Yuena in front of him wasn’t her true body. It seemed she was in a form similar to an avatar.
When the two arrived at the bottom of the true Life Lake, Bai Yu looked at the giant silver dragon before him, his eyes filled with awe.
This thing was truly massive, and it exuded a sacred and noble aura, as if every inch of its body was perfectly proportioned.
Only a purplish-blue scar on its leg marred the overall beauty, like a perfect work of art with a flaw, causing one to lament.
Gu Yuena then walked in front of her true body, and a flash of brilliant light shimmered as she merged with it.
“Bai Yu, do you see the wound on my leg? That’s the residual power of Asura God’s divine force. And your power of creation has the ability to assimilate all things.”
“So now you should know what I seek. It’s for you to help me recover from my injuries when your power is strong enough.”
Bai Yu nodded, walked to Gu Yuena’s injured spot, and raised his hand to press down.
“Mm, I understand. But first, I’ll try to see how effective my power of creation truly is.”
A silver light flashed in Bai Yu’s eyes, and the Four Symbols Law gathered at Bai Yu’s palm, converging into the power of creation, which began to dissolve the Asura God’s divine force on Gu Yuena’s leg.
Although there was an effect, Bai Yu frowned. The speed was even slower than he had imagined.
Immediately, he let out a low cry, and a large amount of the Four Symbols Law began to surge. Bai Yu’s entire body also underwent a change, advancing into his creation form.
At this moment, Gu Yuena also felt a bit awkward. Her massive dragon tail twitched slightly, her movements a bit stiff.
She suddenly understood Zi Ji. No wonder Zi Ji immediately bristled when Bai Yu climbed onto her back earlier. It turned out that when spirit power surged into her body, the sensation was so clear.
But she still suppressed her discomfort, allowing Bai Yu to proceed. After all, Bai Yu was trying to heal her, so she couldn’t just directly shake him off, could she?
After about half an hour, Bai Yu stopped his movements, let out a light breath, and gave a slightly tired, bitter smile.
“Heh heh, as expected of Asura God’s divine force, it’s truly not simple. My power is too weak compared to it. Even with my full effort, I only managed to wear away a little.”
“In a normal state, the power of creation gathers too slowly, and the effect isn’t good. After advancing to the creation form, the effect is much better, but my consumption is too great, and I can’t sustain it for long.”
“It seems it’s not possible right now. At the very least, I’ll have to wait until I become a Title Douluo before I can completely wear it away in a short amount of time.”
After Bai Yu stopped, Gu Yuena immediately transformed back into her human form, scratching her arm unnaturally.
She had lived for so many years, and this was the first time she experienced what goosebumps felt like. And indeed, human descriptions were very vivid.
“Cough, I never intended for you to help me heal right now. You were the one who insisted on coming to see. Now that you’ve seen, it’s time to go back, isn’t it?”
“Hm?”
Bai Yu’s expression was a bit strange. What was wrong with this woman? He had done his best to help her dissolve the Asura God’s divine force, and as soon as he stopped, she started chasing him away?
But Bai Yu was indeed tired. He had already recorded spirit power routes all day, and just now his spirit power had been severely depleted again. He really wasn’t in the mood to argue with her.
“Alright, then send me back first. I’ll come find you after I rest for two days.”
Seeing Bai Yu agree, Gu Yuena waved her hand and sent him away directly, her movements extremely swift.
After Bai Yu disappeared, Gu Yuena transformed back into her true body, unconsciously rubbing the ground, raising her dragon claw, and scratching the spot where Bai Yu had treated her.
…
Early the next morning, Bai Yu, who had a good night’s sleep, walked out of Shrek, intending to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy outside the city to see Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Compared to Zhuqing and the others, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were somewhat at a disadvantage. Although they weren’t far, they couldn’t always skip classes to see Bai Yu.
So Bai Yu decided to go see them. After all, they had already confirmed their relationship, and not visiting them would make them feel neglected.
“Greetings, Your Excellency Hong Ming. I am Xue Beng, the Fourth Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Unfortunately, Senior Sister Dugu and Senior Sister Ye are not at the Academy today. They should have returned home.”
“This should be your first time visiting Tiandou Academy, right? I wonder if you have time. I can show you around. I will also send someone to notify Senior Sister Dugu and Senior Sister Ye.”
When Bai Yu arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and told the gatekeeper he was looking for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, he didn’t expect to see the two girls, but instead Xue Beng.
From the looks of it, he was planning to win him over, even abandoning his usual playboy persona.
But Xue Beng had miscalculated. He had no idea what kind of relationship Bai Yu had with his cheap elder brother; it was a profound friendship!
Bai Yu glanced at Xue Beng, scratched the corner of his mouth, and said in a drifting tone:
“Hmm, so you’re Xue Qinghe’s fourth younger brother? Logically speaking, my relationship with your elder brother is good, and for your elder brother’s sake, I should go if you invite me to tour the Academy.”
“But unfortunately, I have something to do with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling today, and I really don’t have time. Sorry, maybe next time.”
“Since they’re not here, I’ll go look for them at their homes first. Goodbye, Your Royal Highness, the Fourth Crown Prince.”
Bai Yu waved at Xue Beng, then turned and left. Are you kidding? What kind of person is Xue Beng? Does he even deserve to tour with him?
If it weren’t for others being around, and Bai Yu wanting to show his relationship with Xue Qinghe, he wouldn’t even have responded.
As Xue Beng watched Bai Yu’s retreating figure, his hands clenched tightly, his face extremely grim, and he cursed loudly in his heart.
“Xue Qinghe, why are you everywhere! And this guy named Bai, what ‘Your Excellency Hong Ming’? He’s blind!”
“What’s so good about Xue Qinghe? Isn’t he just relying on being born earlier and having the title of Crown Prince? Sooner or later, I will surely replace him!”
