"Yueyue, your cultivation is already close to achieving that goal, and the design aspect is also fine. Would you like me to help you forge a one-word battle armor? It can be completed in full within five months. I think, with your design ability, the alloy of three metals merged into a spiritual alloy should be a good choice, and it will be easy for future upgrades."
"No need, teacher. Let me handle the battle armor myself," Gu Yue decisively refused something that even an ordinary soul master wouldn't dare to imagine.
The metal door closed, and the master and disciple entered inside.
...
"Senior brother, what about that child's Blue Silver Grass?" Shen Yi's expression was serious.
"It's evolved," Wu Changkong said calmly. The soul master he was referring to, of course, was Tang Wulin, since among all the Shrek students, only Tang Wulin had the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
"Blue Silver King?"
Wu Changkong shook his head, saying nothing.
"Then…" Shen Yi had a frightening thought. She said nothing, and the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of mutual understanding.
Tang Wulin returned to the work-study student dormitory after being busy all day. He no longer had his usual listless demeanor but was instead smiling brightly.
Yes, his martial soul had evolved.
However, he still didn't know to what extent his Blue Silver Grass had evolved, but it seemed to be moving in a good direction. He could clearly feel an increase in his attacking power, and the entire surface of his Blue Silver Grass had changed to a golden color, which looked particularly beautiful.
He finally understood Gu You's words: his martial soul was not that simple. With proper cultivation, he would definitely become a powerful figure.
"You're back?"
Gu You arrived at Tang Wulin's dormitory.
"Breaking into someone else's dorm is quite impolite," Tang Wulin frowned. Gu You showing up always meant something troublesome.
"We're in a cooperative relationship now. Why be so formal? How about you move into my dorm? I'm here to help you break through the fifth seal," Gu You coughed, noting that Tang Wulin was still a child. His mind wasn't fully mature yet, but when facing certain choices, if there was someone guiding him toward the right direction, his potential would be limitless.
Like that time when someone misled him, almost causing Tang Wulin to fall into the abyss.
"Without any spiritual materials, how can you help me break through?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.
"Just trust me," Gu You said confidently with a smile. In fact, the original work didn't mention the spiritual material needed for Tang Wulin to break through the fifth seal. Instead, it was through simply strengthening his body that he directly broke through.
Since it was a matter of physical strength, using a specific driving force or cleansing Tang Wulin's body to enhance his physique could possibly help him break through, and then absorb it.
Gu You came up with this bold idea, not because he wanted to experiment on Tang Wulin, but because he had a solid foundation. He could ensure Tang Wulin's safety during the process.
Once he absorbed the fifth seal of Tang Wulin, even if the sixth seal had the Golden Dragon Spear as a divine weapon, he planned to pause here. After all, the Golden Dragon Bloodline was too violent and could affect the mind. Once he had absorbed the five seals, he could stop for now. He already had an ultimate weapon; ordinary artifacts, aside from the Dragon God's Spear, weren't of much use to him. Later, when he fully awakened the Purple Gold Dragon God's power, he could easily strip all of Tang Wulin's power. At that point, who would care about the Golden Dragon Spear?
Moreover, there was no risk to Tang Wulin, so he was more than willing to continue absorbing. But after absorbing the fourth seal of the Golden Dragon King, Gu You could clearly feel that his temperament and mindset were sometimes unstable. If not for the extreme coldness in his body suppressing it, his originally high-level bloodline would have exploded out of control long ago.
Furthermore, the seals in his body hadn't been completely lifted, so there was no need to worry about others. Once Tang Wulin finished lifting the fifth seal, his lifespan would be long enough to last until Gu You could absorb again.
"Alright," Tang Wulin trusted Gu You's methods.
The two of them sat facing each other, and Gu You connected with Tang Wulin's soul power with a divine aura.
His divine power began cleansing Tang Wulin's body.
Warmth spread throughout Tang Wulin's body. Unconsciously, he noticed that the fifth seal in his body had started to show faint cracks.
Is it really working?
This was the easiest breakthrough for Tang Wulin in his entire life. His meridians were filled with a sense of swelling pain, but it wasn't the excruciating pain he had felt before. No spiritual material was required for assistance.
It was time!
Gu You increased the output of his divine power, carefully controlling its intensity.
A low dragon roar echoed quietly, and Tang Wulin closed his eyes, focusing on guiding his blood flow to reverse direction. The divine power and his blood fused and slowly rose, steadily and firmly, toward the seal.
The seal was already full of cracks. When the impact came, Tang Wulin felt a loud sound from within his body. The Golden Dragon King's essence erupted, wildly rampaging.
Crack!
The fifth seal shattered completely.
The rich Golden Dragon King essence spilled out, filling the entire dormitory.
The essence pouring out of the seal was a dazzling golden color, crystalline and transparent. It was domineering and intense, even carrying a hint of madness. It rushed left and right, as though trying to find an outlet to escape from the dorm.
But soon, all the turbulent essence surged toward Gu You, gradually being absorbed.
Gu You suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was filled with fanaticism, and his pupils gradually turned into vertical slits. The purple-gold grid patterns spread across his body in an instant. Purple-gold scales began to emerge from his right hand, rapidly spreading upwards, over his shoulders, and across his chest, all the way to his left shoulder. Then the speed slowed, and the scales slowly flowed downward.
Gu You's eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin, making Tang Wulin's scalp tingle.
Something's wrong, very wrong.
He should leave now.
Tang Wulin sent a thick golden vine out of the door, opening the dormitory. He then fixed the vine in place outside. With a quick pull, his body involuntarily moved forward. Only when he reached outside the door did he close it behind him, leaving Gu You to absorb in peace.
He suddenly recalled that Gu You had told him he could move into his dorm. Now that Gu You was occupying his dorm, it would be fine for him to sleep for one night, right?
Gu You appeared to be focused on absorbing the Golden Dragon King's essence, but in truth, his gaze was still fixed on Tang Wulin.
Upon seeing Tang Wulin's martial soul, the thick golden vines of Blue Silver Grass, Gu You's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.
It looks like it came earlier than expected.
But it was still within his expectations. Now that the Golden Dragon King's bloodline was gone, it was time for the Blue Silver Emperor.
Gu You closed his eyes quickly and continued to absorb. He could clearly feel that, under the influence of the Golden Dragon King's essence, his meridians and bones had become even more radiant. He could even feel the joy of the Purple Gold Dragon God's bloodline each time...
