Chapter 63: Directly Breaking Through to the Fifth Layer, Cai'er Rushes In!
Entering the bath barrel, Ye Ling immediately activated the Golden Dragon King bloodline within his body. In an instant, a dense aura burst forth.
Layer after layer of golden scales rapidly spread across Ye Ling's body, releasing a chilling and unique aura. The oppressive might he exuded far surpassed that of before.
"Next, begin absorbing the medicinal power within, then enter the state of breaking the seal. Only then will this be worthwhile."
Ye Ling muttered to himself, then ceased speaking. He closed his eyes once more, entered internal observation, and drove his surging energy forward. At extreme speed, he charged straight toward the third layer of the Golden Dragon King bloodline seal.
With his terrifying physique and the immense medicinal power as support, the originally formidable third seal was reduced to nothing in an instant, like paper before a storm.
The third layer shattered.
In its place came the strengthening of Ye Ling's body.
"At least two hundred points of external spirit power increased, not bad."
"The growth of external spirit power is not a simple matter of numbers. These two hundred points, compared with the previous external spirit power, nearly double my true combat strength, perhaps even more."
A faint smile flickered in Ye Ling's eyes as he whispered.
And this was only the beginning, not the end.
For now, Ye Ling still retained considerable reserves. By his estimation, the medicinal power was still abundant; the earlier breakthrough had consumed at most two layers. At its core, he still had vast strength to spare.
Thinking so, Ye Ling did not hesitate. He urged his inner force and continued his charge.
In an instant, the fourth seal was also broken open.
Sensing this, the golden dragon sealed within—though unconscious and violent—could not help but feel bewildered. Its violent nature seemed to vanish, leaving only shock.
Too outrageous!
To break through two seals in one go, and still show no signs of exhaustion, was truly astonishing.
But Ye Ling had no intention of stopping here.
At least half of the medicinal power remained, and with his own foundation, at this pace he could straightforwardly continue.
Resolute, Ye Ling erupted with aura once more, fiercely pressing toward the fifth seal. His body became like a black hole, drawing in external spirit power and the medicinal essence of the barrel without pause. His aura roared forth, shaking the surroundings.
"Roar!" As the spirit power surged, Ye Ling bellowed toward the sky, releasing waves of dragon cries. His overwhelming aura forced all nearby to scatter in fear.
Such was the terror of his current pressure.
Amidst the dragon roars, Ye Ling's body became fully enveloped. His right hand, already transformed into a golden dragon claw, gleamed as it clutched the rim of the barrel. At that instant, the fifth seal inside him shattered, and his left hand too was covered with a golden dragon claw.
Both claws shimmered with terrifying aura, surging skyward with boundless force, extraordinary to behold.
Golden scales flashed across his body, shocking to the extreme.
Yet, in breaking three seals at once, the overwhelming force of the twin dragon claws pressed downward uncontrollably. The wooden barrel instantly collapsed under the oppressive might, shattering into fragments.
Ye Ling was suddenly exposed, his body falling to the ground. His head slammed heavily against the wall, producing a crisp, echoing sound.
The impact was loud—clearly a hard head.
At the very moment of his crash, the bathhouse door burst open. Rushing in was Cai'er, face full of worry. Though Ye Ling had warned her not to enter, in moments of panic, one's actions are beyond control.
In the blink of an eye, Cai'er charged inside, desperate to see what had happened.
Upon entering, Cai'er immediately saw Ye Ling lying on the ground, with the wall behind him shattered from the impact of his terrifying body.
Looking toward Ye Ling, she could see his face, on the verge of waking, the golden scales flickering across his body, and the golden dragon claws on both hands. Yet Cai'er's gaze was not fixed on these things.
Instead, she saw what lay beneath Ye Ling's abdomen.
"Brother Ye Ling, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Cai'er's face flushed scarlet. She quickly turned aside, closed the door, and dared not say anything more.
At this moment, Ye Ling also regained his senses. Somewhat puzzled, he looked in the direction where Cai'er had stood, not knowing what she had seen to make her react that way.
Until his eyes swept across his own body.
Hmm.
Only then did he realize he was completely exposed.
"Damn, I was seen naked??" Ye Ling was speechless. He never expected to be seen in such a way, and by Cai'er no less.
It was absurd.
Still, Ye Ling did not dwell on it. He calmly stood up, glanced at the pool of clear liquid on the floor, and the splintered remains of the wooden barrel.
He understood the situation. After he had absorbed all the medicinal power, the barrel lost its structural support and, under his overwhelming pressure, had completely collapsed.
"What a pity. I originally intended to push straight through to the sixth seal. That would not only grant me another bloodline soul skill, but also awaken the divine weapon, the Golden Dragon Spear, within my bloodline. But with this accident, it's better to wait and give my body some time to recover."
"For now, this is enough."
Ye Ling shook his head.
Casting aside such thoughts, his aura burst forth. Layers of golden scales surfaced across his body, quickly covering his upper torso. The golden dragon claws on both hands manifested perfectly, gleaming with explosive power.
Behind him, two golden rings appeared—his bloodline soul rings.
At once, Ye Ling activated his first skill, Golden Dragon Body. His defense soared. In the next moment, he activated his second soul skill, Golden Dragon Tyrant Body, multiplying his defense threefold. His entire body shone with a special golden light, his aura trembling the air and chilling the hearts of any who sensed it.
"Not bad, my strength has increased greatly."
"I wonder what level my external spirit power has reached now. I should go and test it."
Ye Ling muttered, then tidied the water from his body, dressed, and opened the bathhouse door. As he stepped outside, he immediately saw little Cai'er, her face still burning red.
The scene from moments ago had struck her young heart with a heavy blow.
"Let's go, Cai'er. Why are you blushing there?" Not wanting to embarrass her, Ye Ling deliberately pretended as if nothing had happened.
"Alright, Brother Ye Ling." Cai'er gratefully seized the excuse, quickly moving toward him.
The two of them held hands and left together.
