"Bang!"
On the sofa, a slight muffled sound came from Gu Yue's body. Without Na'er causing trouble and stealing power in the sea of consciousness, this cultivation went exceptionally smoothly.
"Whoosh!"
Strands of the soul energy of heaven and earth, like weary birds returning to their nests, rushed into her limbs and bones, nourishing her meridians and dantian.
In less than five minutes, an even more powerful surge of energy emanated from Gu Yue.
Her soul power cultivation level actually broke through from level thirteen to level fourteen!
"As expected, without that troublemaker, my cultivation speed has finally returned to normal."
Gu Yue slowly opened her eyes, feeling the soul power within her body, which, although still weak, was much more condensed than before, and a trace of indescribable relief flashed in her eyes.
The past few days have been far too agonizing.
She, Gu Yue, is currently a nine-year-old girl with a soul power cultivation level of fourteen.
When he was six years old, the Silver Dragon King accidentally lost his memory and was taken in by Tang Wulin's family. He lived a year of confused but relatively peaceful life.
During that time, she failed to awaken her martial spirit and was no different from an ordinary human little girl.
(PS: In the original novel, Tang Wulin saved Na'er when he was six years old, and she claimed to be five and a half. When she reappeared later, she was inexplicably two years younger than Tang Wulin.)
The ageline is a bit confusing. So, we'll make a slight adjustment, treating it as an error due to amnesia; Gu Yuena's true age is the same as Tang Wulin's.
But when he was seven years old, his long-buried memories suddenly resurfaced.
Gu Yue then remembered her identity as the Silver Dragon King and asked Di Tian to take her away from that small family. After that, she awakened her martial soul and, with the unique advantage of being able to rebuild her soul beast, had an excellent starting point of innate full soul power.
But who would have thought that in the next two years...
The unexpected creation, "Na'er," clung to her spiritual sea like a persistent ailment, constantly causing trouble and stealing her power, making it impossible for her to concentrate on cultivation, and causing her cultivation speed to plummet.
The once mighty Silver Dragon King, after undergoing a complete transformation, has fallen to the point where he is only a one-ring Soul Master at the age of nine. If word got out, it would probably make other Soul Beasts laugh their heads off.
However, those frustrating days are now a thing of the past.
Gu Yue had a cold smile on his lips, and a sly glint in his eyes.
With her "astounding wisdom," she cleverly tricked the fool Na'er out of the sea of consciousness, giving her an independent physical body.
In this way, the other party could no longer interfere with her cultivation at all times.
"If you keep hiding in the sea of the mind, causing trouble there, then I really can't do anything about you. But if you foolishly come out on your own, then the situation will be completely different."
A glint of light flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, her dark pupils filled with an air of unwavering determination. Without Na'er's influence, her many long-suppressed plans finally had the means to be put into practice.
For example, that long-planned apprenticeship scheme.
She plans to become a disciple of a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda, and then use that person as a springboard to gradually infiltrate and erode the entire pagoda, eventually gaining control of it.
The Silver Dragon King's martial spirit foundation is unique in the entire Douluo Continent.
With such talent, who would refuse to become an apprentice?
However, due to Na'er's restraint, her cultivation progress was extremely slow.
Even if a nine-year-old Soul Master with a rare Martial Soul doesn't have enough cultivation to support her, the high-ranking members of the Spirit Transmission Tower might not accept her as a disciple.
But now, this biggest worry has vanished!
"Although my cultivation level is still a bit low, I can easily fool myself by focusing on improving my mental strength."
Gu Yue nodded slightly, quickly calculating in her mind, "With my current first-ring cultivation, coupled with my mid-level Spirit Connection Realm (200 points) of spiritual power, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to become a disciple of a higher-level member of the Spirit Transmission Tower."
She had read the records of the Douluo Federation. A nine-year-old Great Soul Master was not rare, but a nine-year-old Spirit Realm cultivator was different.
Cultivating mental power is different from cultivating soul power. It's not easy to improve. At the age of nine, apart from mental-type soul masters, being able to reach the intermediate level of the Spirit Origin Realm (fifty points) is already considered genius.
(PS: This was explained during the original test.)
If she were to demonstrate her mid-level Spiritual Power, coupled with her elemental manipulation abilities, and wish to become an apprentice, there would be plenty of people vying for her.
Gu Yue sat on the sofa, her fingertips lightly twirling, her mind racing as she considered the next course of action. She wasn't worried at all about the so-called bet.
Just kidding, that so-called bet was a trap she carefully woven from the beginning, a lie to deceive Na'er.
Regardless of whether she wins or loses the bet, her ultimate goal is to devour Na'er and completely restore this split consciousness to its original form.
The only difference is the timing.
"Without Na'er's interference, with my talent, I'm confident that I can cultivate to the level of Limit Douluo in at most twenty years."
Gu Yue's lips curled into a confident smile, his eyes gleaming with ambition. "When that time comes, it'll be about time to take her back."
Even if Na'er has taken away 30% of the Silver Dragon's essence, so what? In the end, she will still have to obediently serve as a stepping stone for Na'er to return to her peak.
As for the silver dragon spear that Na'er took with her, there's no need to worry about it.
That was the Silver Dragon King's natal weapon. The rules for recognizing its master were always simple and brutal—whoever had the purer bloodline and the deeper origin would obey its commands.
How could a mere 30% of the Silver Dragon's essence possibly compare to her, the true source?
When she is strong enough in the future, with just a flick of her finger, that silver dragon spear will likely deliver a fatal backstab to Na'er without hesitation.
"However, it's still necessary to gloss over that bet."
Gu Yue's smile faded, and her eyes deepened. "Otherwise, it wouldn't do me any good to break ties with her now. If I can make that guy lose faith in humanity and return sooner, it will save me a lot of effort."
Although Na'er possesses some of the Silver Dragon King's memories, in terms of intelligence and strategy, she is ultimately superior to the real Silver Dragon King.
Gu Yue slightly raised her eyes, looking towards the bathroom, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"Let me show you the astonishing wisdom of the Dragon God's half-body, even if it's just a fragment of consciousness."
"Da da~"
-
The fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the bathtub, the crisp sound echoing in the steamy bathroom.
Na'er slowly slid into the bathtub, the warm water like soft silk, enveloping her slender body inch by inch.
"Hmm~"
Na'er exhaled a comfortable breath, letting the water rise above her shoulders, revealing only a section of her snow-white neck and delicate chin. Her long silver hair spread out in the water, like moonlight pouring down, gently swaying with the ripples.
At first, her long hair was dragged down by the weight of the water. As she slowly sank, it was then lifted up by buoyancy, strand by strand, swaying in the water like silver seaweed.
"Phew~ It's finally out of that guy's body."
Na'er tilted her head back slightly, leaned against the edge of the bathtub, and comfortably squinted her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering gently in the steam.
She felt the water flowing gently over her skin, carrying away the fatigue and depression accumulated over the past two years. The long-lost sense of freedom, like warm water, seeped into her heart little by little from every part of her body.
God knows how she got through those two years.
Despite her seemingly confident and even slightly mocking demeanor within Gu Yue's spiritual sea, as if she had everything under control, only she knew that it was merely a facade to mask her fear.
Na'er did indeed seize a portion of the Silver Dragon's essence, gaining a powerful foundation. But ultimately, the master of that body was Gu Yue.
Gu Yue is the true core, the rightful controller of that body and that power.
And Na'er is more like an accident that parasitizes it, an "impurity" that can be eliminated at any time.
Hiding in the sea of consciousness, she could seize the opportunity to steal power and strengthen herself by taking advantage of Gu Yue's cultivation achievements; this was her only chance.
Even so, there are still insurmountable limits.
According to Na'er's own estimation, 30% of the Silver Dragon's essence is the limit she can currently safely bear and draw upon. Any more, and her consciousness will be devoured by that immense power, or even completely dissipate.
Therefore, she tried every day to interfere with Gu Yue's cultivation.
It wasn't because she was bored, nor was it simply because she wanted to oppose Gu Yue; it was for her own protection.
She was very clear that if Gu Yue was allowed to grow up without any obstacles, her unexpectedly born human consciousness would eventually be completely refined and erased by the other party.
Even with her constant interference and obstruction, Gu Yue's cultivation level continued to steadily improve.
If this trend continues, Gu Yue will undoubtedly reach her peak cultivation level within fifty years. At that time, it will be effortless for her opponent to mobilize all their power and completely eliminate this threat.
Therefore, when Gu Yue proposed that bet, Na'er hardly hesitated.
She knew, of course, that Gu Yue harbored ill intentions, and she understood that there was likely a deeper scheme hidden behind this bet.
But for her, remaining in the spiritual sea of Guyue, resisting and consuming it day after day, would be nothing more than a slow death.
If we get out, at least there's still a glimmer of hope.
If they don't come out, they'll be finished sooner or later.
Driven by a strong will to survive, Na'er chose to agree.
Not only did she agree to the bet, but at the final moment of separation, she decisively withdrew a portion of her strength to gain more leverage for herself.
"Gu Yue, Na'er, hehe, splitting your name in two? Do you think I can't see through the intention behind this?"
Menna looked up at the pristine white bathroom ceiling, a mocking smile slowly curving her lips. The steam from the bathroom diffused her expression, but it couldn't conceal the clarity and coldness in her eyes.
Having spent the past two years together, she knew Gu Yue's personality all too well.
Deeply calculating, ruthless and patient, seemingly calm and gentle, but actually possessing an extremely strong desire for control, and will never allow any uncontrollable factors to exist.
Even if she took away 30% of the Silver Dragon's essence, and left cleanly without taking a single penny, Gu Yue would never allow this "accident" to roam freely outside.
Na'er was well aware that her opponent would devour her sooner or later.
Therefore, her only hope lies in the 30% of silver dragon essence within her and the silver dragon spear.
With their assistance, and by working hard to cultivate myself, I might have a chance to confront Gu Yue head-on in the future.
"Hopefully, the secret he possesses is powerful enough to hold off Gu Yue for a while."
Na'er murmured softly as she slowly submerged her head in the water. The icy water instantly enveloped her mouth and nose, blocking out all external sounds.
She gently blew bubbles in the water, strings of silver bubbles rising from her lips, bursting on the surface and creating tiny ripples.
She knew perfectly well that Tang Wulin had problems.
But the year they spent together wasn't fake; at least in Na'er's heart, she was still willing to treat him as an older brother.
Of course, he's just my older brother.
It wouldn't be accurate to say that their feelings were particularly deep or unwavering until death.
After all, all Na'er truly possessed were the memories of that one year. The remaining two years were spent entirely under Gu Yue's relentless strangulation and suppression.
My goodness, who can understand the feelings of a one-year-old baby who has just gained consciousness and has suffered cruel persecution for two consecutive years?
That was not simple "persecution," but a day-to-day mental crushing, the fear of being wiped out at any moment, and the despair and struggle of barely surviving in the cracks.
"Gurgle~ That bastard Gu Yue!"
Na'er cursed inwardly, her teeth clenched. In the water, her emotions seemed to become even more direct and intense.
Now, all she can do is pin her hopes on the secrets surrounding Tang Wulin, hoping that they can temporarily distract Gu Yue and prevent Gu Yue from paying attention to her, the "fugitive," thus giving her enough time to develop.
Family is precious, but freedom is even more valuable.
For the sake of life, both can be thrown away.
Na'er slowly closed her eyes in the water.
For her now, nothing is more important than her own life.
She didn't want to die, especially after being tormented by Gu Yue for two years; this desire to live became even stronger.
As for whether Gu Yue will threaten Tang Ziran and Lang Yue's lives?
Na'er wasn't worried about that.
Although Gu Yue is ruthless and lacks martial ethics, she still possesses a deep-seated pride and dignity.
Given Gu Yue's personality, she would never stoop to such despicable tactics as using the lives of other people's parents to coerce her opponents.
At least, Na'er is willing to believe that.
"Besides relying on myself, perhaps I can find some external help. After all, Gu Yue has Di Tian protecting him."
In the bathroom, the water murmured softly, and steam swirled. Long, silver hair floated gently in the water, like a sleeping silver dragon, quietly gathering strength in the warm waves, waiting for the day it could take flight again.
