Chapter 428 Zi Yan’s Strength, Secret Room 2.0
Seeing this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. He shook his head and said, “Bye, bye, bye. I’ll bow now. Is that ok?”

As he spoke, he arched his hands in an exaggerated manner, bent over and saluted, with a smile on his face.

Seeing him like this, Zi Yan burst out laughing. She could no longer maintain her serious expression and said in a coquettish voice, “Humph, you are such a jerk!”

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

The volcano not far away has now returned to calm after the previous turmoil, but there is still a hint of hot breath in the air, as well as the faint fluctuations of fire elements, as if telling of the thrilling experience just now.

“Zi Yan, now that you have successfully transformed, how do you feel?”

Lin Yuan looked around briefly, then put away his smile, straightened his face, and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zi Yan’s eyes became solemn. Feeling the vast power in her body, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly: “Very good, better than ever before. I feel that I am full of power now. With just a wave of my hand, I can destroy the world.”

Having said this, as if she wanted to confirm her words, she narrowed her eyes slightly and released some of her own aura.

Suddenly, the surrounding space seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, making a slight “click” sound, and huge black cracks spread in the space like a spider web.

Even this space could not prevent the slightest leakage of her powerful aura.

These spatial cracks, along with Zi Yan’s breathing, cycled between collapse and healing… Just standing there was incomparably powerful.

“Snapped–“

With a slight sound, a head bang hit Zi Yan’s brow lightly. The girl screamed “Ouch”, interrupting her unparalleled domineering expression.

“What are you doing?!”

She stroked her brows lightly and looked at Lin Yuan fiercely, who looked helpless: “If you dare to be so rude to the emperor, be careful that I will eat you in one bite…”

Having said that, a hint of tenderness flashed in the depths of the girl’s purple-gold eyes.

Just now Zi Yan was still worried that since she had become so strong all of a sudden, Lin Yuan might become restrained due to the difference in strength.

She didn’t want that kind of thing – compared to being the high and mighty Taixu Ancient Dragon Emperor, she still preferred the simple, casual and carefree feeling of being with Lin Yuan.

Now it seems that there is finally nothing to worry about.

Even though she had become so powerful, Lin Yuan’s attitude remained the same as before, and he still treated her as his beloved little sister.

“Girl, just tell me your cultivation level!” Lin Yuan rubbed her head and said helplessly: “How can I know what level you are? What’s your strength? After all, I’m not a Dou Sheng!”

At this point, his expression turned a bit serious – Zi Yan’s strength was related to a long-term plan.

At present, the only thing Lin Yuan can be sure of is that Zi Yan is now much stronger than when she had just refined the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in the original trajectory.

After all, he participated in almost the entire process of Zi Yan refining the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

The reason why Lin Yuan and Zi Yan took three months to complete something that could have been completed in one month according to the original trajectory was because they were not only melting the Dragon Phoenix Crystal layer, but also assisting Zi Yan in completely refining and absorbing its energy.

In the original trajectory, Zi Yan refined and absorbed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and also went into seclusion for several years before she advanced to the four-star Douluo level during the Ancient Dragon War.

One of the main purposes of Lin Yuan’s deep involvement this time is to help her complete this process ahead of time.

Although his strength is extremely limited, the Qianlan Ice Flame that has fused fourteen kinds of fire into his body is as powerful as the Golden Emperor’s Burning Sky Flame, and its effect in refining energy is extremely amazing.

With Lin Yuan’s help, Zi Yan greatly shortened her “weak period”.

Seeing that Lin Yuan’s face was a little serious, Zi Yan stopped joking and said seriously: “I have digested most of the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. I am currently in the middle stage of the five-star Dou Sheng! After the remaining energy in my body is completely digested, I should be able to reach the peak of the five-star…”

Speaking of this, Zi Yan’s eyes couldn’t help but become excited – the strength of a five-star Douluo was far superior to that of the three Dragon Kings, and was enough to reunify the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

In fact, if Lin Yuan hadn’t reminded her, she would have already returned to Dragon Island to prepare for war.

“Mid-five-star, peak-five-star? Not bad, um… no, it’s very good!”

Lin Yuan nodded, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes – this degree of improvement was not much different from what he had expected. The many preliminary preparations he had made for this matter were not in vain after all, but had achieved corresponding results.

With the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit upgraded to the five-star peak, plus the many plans in his mind, if everything goes well, it shouldn’t be a problem for Zi Yan to achieve the peak Dragon Phoenix.

“By the way, Lin Yuan, where are we going next?” Zi Yan blinked and asked.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said gently: “Since you have successfully transformed, the next step is naturally to return to Canaan College.”

After a pause, he stared into Zi Yan’s eyes, and his voice became more serious.

“During this time, you should first familiarize yourself with your rapidly increasing cultivation.”

“Remember, the power you can control and master is the power that truly belongs to you. As for unifying the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, there is no need to be too anxious! When you are strong enough, these will all come naturally.”

“At present, the main focus is on improving strength and gaining combat experience!”

“After we return to Zhongzhou, I will take you to another place of opportunity, which should allow you to make further progress…”

What he was talking about was, naturally, the Yellow Springs Monument of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and the blood essence of the Demon Saint contained therein.

Of the five drops of Demon Saint’s blood, at least one drop is reserved for Zi Yan…even if necessary, all five drops of Demon Saint’s blood must be taken by Zi Yan. Everything should be done to support her to break through to the six-star level or even higher level as soon as possible.

After all, if Zi Yan could successfully break through to the six-star Douluo, five one-star Douluo together would not be able to withstand her two “bang bang” punches.

The gap between each star of Dou Sheng is so huge.

Because of this, in the Douqi Continent – a world where great power belongs to oneself, the best option is to concentrate resources to support a strong man, and then have this strong man plunder.

And what Lin Yuan wants to implement is a plan based on this idea.

On the side, Zi Yan thought for a moment and said in distress: “It’s not difficult to improve my strength… Just refine the remaining energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit! But how can I increase my combat experience? I can’t find any opponents!”

As she spoke, she gently clenched her fists and felt that she was incredibly strong.

She had seen everyone, but no one could withstand a punch from her now… Even the strongest old man Qingshan on Donglong Island, she was confident that she could blow him up with one punch.

In this case, how to increase combat experience?
“Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared for this.” Lin Yuan smiled confidently, smoothed her slightly wrinkled brows, and said: “Remember the ‘immersive simulation training device’ that you and Xiao Cai played with? Using that, you can achieve a similar effect to a certain extent…”

With that illusion device, and once he has mastered Zi Yan’s various “data”, he will be able to tailor-make various powerful enemies for her and fill in her combat experience.

If necessary, this girl could even be allowed to experience a scene where “the avenue has been erased” which is completely different from the style of this world!

Soul illusion, if used properly, is indeed an extremely useful method.

As for a more realistic combat environment, we can ask the idle old Dragon King in the Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion to help out later. It should be no problem to take Zi Yan to the Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion now!

In short, in the original trajectory, after this girl achieved the status of a Fighting Saint with the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, her actual combat performance was not optimistic due to the partial loss of the Dragon Emperor’s inheritance and lack of combat experience. It was difficult for her to display her former powerful combat capability of fighting across levels.

As a gifted fighting master, Lin Yuan found this difficult to accept and was determined to strike hard to make up for Zi Yan’s shortcomings.

As the supreme dragon phoenix, it should have the power to fight against opponents of higher levels.

Otherwise, if he planned to let Zi Yan reach the peak in “hardware” factors such as cultivation, but finally lost because of “software” factors such as combat experience, it would be too funny!

Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Zi Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly: “That game console?! That’s great…”

“Cough-cough-“

Lin Yuan coughed dryly, his face solemn, and he seriously corrected Zi Yan’s statement: “That is not a game console, but an ‘immersive simulation training device’. Don’t make a mistake… Otherwise, your sister Xiyue will be angry!”

“Don’t worry, my brother Lin Yuan, I understand!”

Zi Yan winked at Lin Yuan with a knowing smile on her face, “That’s not a game console, it’s a training device, a treasure for learning and practicing.”

Recalling the scene of herself “practicing hard” in that device, a hint of obsession appeared in her eyes.

I have decided that I will not return to Donglong Island until I get tired of playing, and will continue to stay with Lin Yuan. As for re-unifying the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the Ancient Dragon Clan has been divided for thousands of years anyway, so a few years won’t make a difference!

“Let’s go!” Lin Yuan extended his hand to Zi Yan and said with a gentle smile: “Things here are over, it’s time for us to go back to Canaan College…”

“Have you finished all your work?”

Zi Yan gently placed her hand on Lin Yuan’s hand, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and she said meaningfully: “But this Dragon Emperor, there is still one thing that has not been completed!!”

Before she finished her words, she gently spun her palm and held Lin Yuan.

Then, purple light flashed in his eyes, and invisible ripples spread out. Wherever they passed, space fluctuated and distorted. In an instant, they condensed into an indestructible space cage. Purple-gold energy flowed through it, completely isolating the inside and the outside…

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan was immediately puzzled – why did this scene feel so familiar? Chamber of Secrets Dragon King 2.0?

“Hehehe… No, it’s Jiejiejie—”

Before Lin Yuan could speak, Zi Yan’s sly and complacent voice echoed in his ears: “I let you use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms before, and today… I will take them all back!”

As she spoke, she exerted a little strength and leaped forward lightly. The two figures instantly intertwined and fell backwards.

“Bam—”

With a low muffled sound, Lin Yuan was knocked to the ground by the purple figure.

Zi Yan rode on him, looking down at him, her rosy cheeks filled with excitement, and her noble purple-gold eyes were filled with ripples like water waves.

Then, her slender hand moved slowly and landed on Lin Yuan’s collar.

Zi Yan looked at the young man’s slightly stunned expression, and a hint of pride appeared on her face – Dragon Emperor Zi Yan, always acted in an unexpected way; Lin Yuan, after being a little stunned at first, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

In the claustrophobic purple space cage, the two looked at each other and the atmosphere gradually became heated.

“Thorn-“

A sound of tearing cloth suddenly rang out, like the beating of a war drum, and a unique “war” began…

The afternoon sky was scorching hot.

Who would have thought that from some point in the afternoon, the weather suddenly changed, and dark clouds rolled in, covering the sky and the sun.

At first there was a strong wind and drizzle, which soon turned into a heavy rain.

Three days later, the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped.

Above the blue sky, the clouds are floating lazily, and the warm sunlight is pouring down from the sky, making everything filled with a lazy scent.

Suddenly, a spatial crack about ten feet long slowly appeared at a corner of the outer wall of the purple spatial cage.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan held onto the outer wall of the space and slowly walked out of the crack.

“A Fighting Saint… is so terrifying!” Lin Yuan patted his sore waist lightly, let out a long sigh, then looked up to greet the soft sunlight, stretched his body lazily, and said with emotion.

Then he turned around and looked gently at the space cage behind him.

As soon as his eyes fell on the cage, he saw the space cage tremble slightly, and then it suddenly dissipated, revealing the slender figure of the girl in purple skirt.

At this moment, Zi Yan’s eyebrows were as dark as ink, and her whole body was like a moistened crabapple flower, exuding a delicate and charming aura.

“Lin Yuan, let’s go back to Canaan College!” She stroked her long purple hair, looked at Lin Yuan jokingly, and said with a smile: “You have always wanted to be a gigolo, and from now on, I will satisfy your wish…”

After saying that, she slowly walked to Lin Yuan’s side, drew a space passage, and pulled Lin Yuan in.

After the two entered, the space channel also dissipated…
–
Two days later, in the inner courtyard of Canaan College.

In a quiet courtyard, many flowers are blooming beautifully, and the breeze blows in, bringing with it a faint fragrance.

In the stone pavilion in the center of the courtyard, two beautiful figures sat opposite each other on a stone table.

One of them, dressed in a white gown, with her snow-white hair fluttering in the wind, her gentle temperament makes people feel relaxed and happy; the other one, dressed in an eight-colored long skirt, has a cold and flawless face, exuding a deadly temptation like a poppy.

In front of the two of them, there was a chessboard. Occasionally, there was the crisp ticking sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard…

This scene seems to be reappearing in the past.

Medusa moved her slender hands and pressed a black chess piece on the chessboard. She said with interest, “Now that our cultivation is equal, shall we compete to see who can become a saint first?”

The Little Medical Fairy picked up a white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. She smiled calmly and said, “If you are interested, I would be happy to accompany you!”

The two girls looked at each other, and a hint of awe flashed in their eyes at the same time.

I don’t know whether it’s fate or destiny, but when Medusa and Xiao Yixian are alone together, they can’t help but want to compete with each other… It’s not that the relationship between the two is bad, but it’s like some kind of unique “interest” between the two women.

As a result of this incident, the space in the courtyard shook slightly and twisted, and a crack slowly appeared in the eyes of the two women.

A smug laugh came from the crack: “A competition to see who becomes a Dou Sheng first? Sister Xiyue, Sister Xiao Yixian, then I will end the competition! Hehehe…”
