A flicker of thought passed through Gu Yue's eyes.
She hadn't expected Arthur to leave a protective force on Tang Wulin. Recalling her observations during this period, Arthur seemed to value his friends greatly.
"Forget it, let him live." Gu Yue withdrew her gaze.
Then let him live. Tang Wulin couldn't stir up any trouble.
The Golden Dragon King had already returned.
The rise of the Spirit Beasts was a foregone conclusion.
The current Gu Yue was fearless. Her Astonishing Wisdom told her that from now on, she would solve everything with astonishing power.
On the other side, Na'er had completely accepted the Golden Dragon King's power.
The Golden Dragon King Essence, which previously required deliberate pacification, was now incredibly docile. The residual tyrannical consciousness had long since dissipated under the combined efforts of the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon completely merged with the Golden Dragon King, making it whole.
As for the small portion of Silver Dragon King Power within Na'er's body... Na'er slowly opened her eyes, a golden and silver interwoven light flashing in her purple pupils. When she raised her hand, a ball of light, a Fusion of the two Dragon King Powers, condensed in her palm.
Golden and silver lights intertwined and flowed around her body.
A portion of the Dragon God's Might reappeared in the world.
The surrounding Vicious Beasts all knelt down in worship.
Gu Yue stood still, her eyes slightly narrowed.
"Hmph."
Noticing Gu Yue's gaze, Na'er let out a soft hmph, showing no reluctance to part with the Dragon God's power, and separated the Silver Dragon King Power from it.
And passed it to Gu Yue.
"What do you mean?" Gu Yue felt confused.
"What else could it mean?" Na'er rolled her eyes at her.
When Gu Yue had peeled Na'er away from her body back then, she had been forced to give up thirty percent of the Silver Dragon King's power.
This power was the basis of Na'er's existence.
Now that she had become the new Golden Dragon King, Na'er naturally no longer needed that thirty percent of power to sustain herself.
So she returned it.
In summary.
Na'er wanted to fiercely sever ties with Gu Yue! To become an independent individual.
The Silver Dragon King's power flowed like water from Na'er's palm, slowly moving towards Gu Yue, carrying the unique radiance of the Silver Dragon King Origin.
The silver light around Na'er's body instantly receded, leaving only pure golden divine force, dazzling like the scorching sun. That was the power belonging exclusively to the Golden Dragon King, with no trace of the Silver Dragon King whatsoever.
"Here, take it back." Na'er's voice carried a hint of relief, "From now on, I am Golden Dragon King Naer, not your Clone, and certainly not a vessel for your power."
She deliberately emphasized the words "Golden Dragon King Naer."
Gu Yue caught the Silver Dragon King Power. The moment the power surged into her body, she could clearly feel the completeness of her own Origin.
The return of the missing thirty percent of power caused her aura to surge.
But looking at Na'er's demeanor, she frowned: "You don't have to do this."
After deciding to peel off Na'er, Gu Yue had never thought of taking Na'er back later.
Otherwise, why would she peel her off? Was she just bored?
Na'er's foolishness later on only solidified this idea for Gu Yue. She didn't want to become that foolish too.
"I think it's necessary."
Na'er looked at her, "You peeled me off back then, and you gave me all the human emotions."
"I am more human, and you are more beast."
She turned to look at the Vicious Beasts still kneeling in worship, her Golden Dragon Power slightly surging, "So, many times neither of us can empathize. We can't understand each other."
"You only gave me human emotions, yet you want me to work for the Spirit Beasts."
Na'er's voice was low: "The Silver Dragon King's power is returned to you, and you are complete."
"As for the Golden Dragon King's power, I can help you when you need it, but I cannot give it to you."
"I know this is selfish. But if I give it to you, I will disappear."
"I want to live, to live as myself."
"Because I... I can't bear to part with Arthur..."
As the last sentence left her lips, her cheeks flushed, but she met Gu Yue's gaze, her purple eyes filled with determination.
"As you wish."
Gu Yue suddenly realized that this foolish Dragon was still doing all this for Arthur.
She didn't care whether the Golden Dragon King's power was with Na'er or with herself.
As long as it could help the great cause of the Spirit Beasts.
However, Na'er's words "can't bear to part with Arthur" kept echoing in Gu Yue's mind. Even though the Silver Dragon King Power she had just regained made her Origin more complete, there was an inexplicable feeling deep in her heart... In a secret room of a villa in Heaven Dou City.
Steam permeated the air. In the center was a White Jade Bathtub, filled with deep purple medicinal liquid that churned and emitted a rich herbal fragrance.
This was a special medicinal liquid concocted by Muyue, made from a mixture of various ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast essences and rare medicinal herbs, specifically for tempering the Body's Foundation.
"Arthur, the latent power within your body cannot be sustained by your current Physical Body. It needs to be slowly guided."
Muyue stood by the bathtub: "This tub of medicinal liquid can help you cleanse your Meridians, temper your Physical Body, and solidify your Foundation. When you get in, no matter how painful it is, remember to circulate the method I just taught you, integrating the medicinal power into every inch of your tendons and bones."
"Yes, Teacher."
Arthur nodded, shed his outer clothes, and leaped into the bathtub.
As soon as he entered, the scalding medicinal liquid felt like steel needles, pricking him all over with pain.
Immediately after, a violent force drilled into his body through his pores, furiously scouring his Meridians and bones, and a piercing pain swept through his entire body.
"Endure it! This medicinal liquid is helping you temper your Physical Body and lay your Foundation!" Muyue said in a deep voice.
Arthur gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
He forced himself to circulate the Body Sect method taught by Muyue, guiding the medicinal power, little by little, tempering every inch of muscle and every bone.
The color of the medicinal liquid gradually lightened, and a faint golden halo gradually appeared around Arthur's body; that was the Body's Foundation forming.
After an unknown amount of time, the purple medicinal liquid in the bathtub became clear.
Arthur slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing and disappearing in their depths, his aura steady and restrained.
He leaped out of the bathtub, feeling his body filled with power, and his physical senses became even more acute.
"Perfect." Muyue's eyes gleamed.
He stepped forward to carefully examine Arthur, even reaching out to constantly feel him.
His words were full of praise, "Even I have never seen such a perfect Foundation."
"Stay here for a few more days, and I'll help you consolidate it."
"After that, you can try to activate the latent power within your body."
"Thank you, Teacher." Arthur bowed solemnly, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Since I am your Teacher, I will do my best."
"And I also want to see how far you can go."
Muyue waved his hand, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "After a while, I will help you activate the latent power within your body. But before that, you must become sufficiently familiar with your body, otherwise, you won't be able to control it when the power Awakens in the future."
Arthur nodded in response: "Yes, Teacher."
His body now felt completely transformed, every muscle filled with explosive power.
He could even feel a force within his body becoming increasingly active, gradually nourishing his body.
"In the next few days, I will teach you a few basic Body Sect techniques to help you consolidate your Foundation."
