"Yueyue, your cultivation has nearly reached that target level. There's no problem with the design either. Do you want me to help forge your one-word battle armor? I can finish the full set within five months. With your design skills, I think a spiritually compatible alloy using three metals would be an excellent choice—it'll make future upgrades easier too."
"No need, teacher. I'll handle the armor myself." Gu Yue refused without hesitation—rejecting something ordinary soul masters wouldn't even dare to dream of.
The metal door closed behind them as the master and disciple entered together.
…
"Senior Brother, that kid's Blue Silver Grass?" Shen Yi's expression was serious.
"It evolved," Wu Zhangkong said calmly. Of course, the Blue Silver Grass soul master he referred to was Tang Wulin. After all, he was the only student in the entire Shrek Academy with that martial soul.
"Blue Silver King?"
Wu Zhangkong shook his head but said nothing.
"Then..." Shen Yi had a terrifying thought, though she didn't say it out loud. At this moment, the two of them seemed to reach an unspoken agreement.
After a long day outside, Tang Wulin finally returned to the working student dormitory. He no longer carried his usual look of frustration but wore a bright smile.
That's right—his martial soul had evolved.
He didn't yet know exactly what level his Blue Silver Grass had reached, but he could clearly feel a surge in attack power. The grass itself had transformed—the surface now shimmered with a brilliant golden hue. It looked beautiful.
He finally understood what Gu You had meant—his martial soul was far from ordinary. If he cultivated seriously, he too could become a powerhouse.
"You're back?"
Gu You entered Tang Wulin's dorm room.
"Breaking into someone else's room is rude." Tang Wulin frowned. Gu You showing up always meant something was about to happen.
"Come on, we're partners now, no need to be so distant. Why don't you just move into my dorm? Anyway, I'm here to help you break your fifth seal." Gu You cleared his throat. Tang Wulin was still just a kid. His mindset hadn't matured yet. Faced with crucial decisions, he needed the right guidance to avoid falling astray.
Like that one time someone's terrible advice nearly led Tang Wulin down a dark path.
"But without a spiritual item, how will you help me break it?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.
"Just trust me." Gu You smiled confidently. In the original story, there was no specific herb used for Tang Wulin's fifth seal—he simply broke through by strengthening his body.
If it was about physical strength, then maybe using a specific divine force or cleansing energy to enhance his body could help him break the seal and absorb the power.
This wasn't some reckless experiment—Gu You had a foundation to work from and could ensure Tang Wulin's safety.
After this, even if the sixth seal required the Golden Dragon Spear as a divine artifact, Gu You planned to pause the process for a while. The Golden Dragon King's power was too wild and could disrupt his mind. Five seals were enough for now. He already had a super divine weapon—unless it was the Dragon God Spear itself, he didn't care for other divine tools. Once his own purple-gold Dragon God bloodline fully awakened, he could easily strip all of Tang Wulin's power whenever he wanted. The Golden Dragon Spear would be his sooner or later.
Though he hadn't hurt Tang Wulin, the sheer madness he felt after absorbing the fourth seal was alarming. If it hadn't been for the Ultimate Ice and his high-level bloodlines suppressing the rampage, he might have lost control entirely.
Besides, even Gu You hadn't finished breaking his own seals. He could wait. Once Tang Wulin broke his fifth seal, he'd have enough lifespan to last until Gu You needed to absorb from him again.
"Alright." Tang Wulin still trusted Gu You's abilities.
The two sat facing each other. Gu You released a divine aura, linking their soul power flows.
His divine power began to wash over Tang Wulin's body.
Warmth spread through him. To his surprise, Tang Wulin sensed cracks forming in his fifth seal.
'It's really working?'
This was the easiest breakthrough he had ever experienced with the Golden Dragon King's seals. His whole body felt a swelling pain in the meridians, but it wasn't the unbearable torment he remembered. And this time, he didn't need any spiritual item.
'It's time!'
Gu You increased the divine power infusion, carefully controlling its intensity.
A low dragon roar echoed quietly. Tang Wulin kept his eyes tightly shut, guiding his blood essence in reverse. The divine power merged with his essence, rising steadily—firm and unwavering—toward the seal.
The seal was already covered in cracks. As the pressure struck, Tang Wulin felt a massive burst from within. The Golden Dragon King's essence surged forth violently.
Crack!
The fifth seal shattered completely.
Golden Dragon King essence filled the dorm with blazing radiance.
The energy pouring out from the broken seal was a brilliant golden, crystal-clear and luminous. Its aura was fierce and overwhelming, filled with madness. It rampaged, seeking an exit from the dorm.
But soon, all the wild essence converged toward Gu You, gradually being absorbed.
His eyes snapped open, filled with a blazing intensity. His pupils became vertical slits, and a purple-gold lattice pattern spread across his entire body. Layer by layer, purple-gold dragon scales erupted from his right arm, rapidly extending up past his shoulder and chest, reaching his left shoulder before finally slowing down.
Gu You's eyes remained fixed on Tang Wulin, sending a chill down his spine.
'Something's wrong. Seriously wrong.'
Tang Wulin decided it was best to leave.
With a flick of his right hand, a thick golden vine shot out the door, opening it from afar. Once secured outside, he gave a tug, pulling himself through and closing the door behind him.
'Let Gu You finish his absorption in peace.'
Suddenly, he remembered Gu You had offered to let him live in his dorm.
'Well, he's taken mine now—might as well crash at his place for a night.'
Gu You looked like he was fully focused on absorbing the Golden Dragon King essence, but in truth, his gaze had been glued to Tang Wulin the entire time.
When he saw Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass martial soul had transformed into thick golden vines, a flash of surprise passed through his eyes.
'Looks like it's happening earlier than expected.'
Still, it was within his calculations. Without the Golden Dragon King bloodline, all that was left was the Blue Silver Emperor.
Gu You shut his eyes and focused on absorption. He could clearly feel the changes—the Golden Dragon King essence was strengthening his meridians and bones. Everything was growing brighter inside him. He could even hear the jubilation of his Purple-Gold Dragon God bloodline.
Each breath…
