Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-225

--- Chapter 225 ---

A few weeks have passed after Yunlong consummated with Bibi Dong in their old wooden house.

Yunlong had trained his maids under excessively compelling pressure and ingrained his essence blood upon them, which slowly could release their potential to some limit.

Gu Yuena sometimes taught them, especially in spiritual energy control, because their degree of spiritual manipulation literally was deemed as complete trash in her eyes.

Of course, Kaguya also taught them how to efficiently manipulate their spirit energy with her superb energy control technique, which surprisingly exceeded Gu Yuena to some degree.

Even though there was some problem because it seemed that spirit energy was more fluid than chakra, and spirit energy manipulation technique was so poor in this world, Kaguya had to change some direction of her teaching.

"Being too dependent on your spirit skills blinded your way to control spirit energy," Kaguya commented once while blasting a boulder into dust with an energy palm, which wasn't even a spirit skill.

Gu Yuena and Xue Nu were also fascinated at first glance because Kaguya's principle of energy control was high. They have lived long enough to realize some of their techniques weren't efficient.

Meanwhile, Kaguya also had a breakthrough over a few days because she had materialized her first spirit ring, which surprisingly was a 100k year old spirit ring.

Kaguya instantly caused a shock between the maids and Gu Yuena because not only was she so mysterious, her unique knowledge and strength were also questionable.

If Kaguya's breakthrough is steady without any problem, she'd eventually reach god-level strength in no time.

Gu Yuena clearly felt threatened for some reason because even though she was stronger at the moment, that couldn't be the same in the future.

Being half of the dragon god literally means she had a half-god king's strength, but that's it.

She couldn't pass that limitation without being pressured to obtain the dragon god's core to increase her strength and possibly gain the lost god position.

Inside an artificial forest near the hidden training ground, Yunlong heavily breathed with a body full of sweat.

He heavily trained under Gu Yuena for 12 hours and couldn't use his skills or weapons, except for his dragon martial soul.

"Hmm..." Gu Yuena placed the silver dragon spear on her shoulders and looked at Yunlong with a distressed gaze. "Are you already exhausted?"

"I thought you could do more." She casually commented. "Where is the blood activation technique you just created weeks ago?"

"Do you really want to see it?" Yunlong questioned while calming his breathing.

Gu Yuena frowned and responded, "Hmph, it's not like you become a god all of sudden. I won't be shocked."

Yunlong shook his head slightly and performed a few hand signs, which released pressure from his meridian and quickly caused limitation in his body to burst.

"Dragon Gate." He quickly punctured his finger against his head.

BOOM!

A faint dragon aura exploded within his body and washed the entire forest with a forceful breeze.

Yunlong's blood was forcefully heating like no tomorrow and filled his entire body with great strength. Dragon Scales Armor slowly covered his upper body and formed an inverted pattern on his chest.

Gu Yuena's eyes widened because Yunlong's strength increased at a fast pace. It doesn't even show any sign of stopping because at least his physical force now had exceeded titled douluo in terms of raw power.

"Third Gate." Yunlong smiled slightly.

BOOM!

"This..." Gu Yuena was speechless because this young man's strength just doubled in a flash.

"Here, you can see more, Fourth Gate." Yunlong somehow liked Gu Yuena's speechless expression.

BOOM!

"..." Gu Yuena.

Cough!

"Fifth Gate-!" Yunlong abruptly spewed blood off his mouth, which caught Gu Yuena off guard.

He immediately deactivated his technique and muttered, "Tch, my internal organ wasn't strong enough to handle the strain."

Gu Yuena quickly approached him and worriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's fine... My internal organs stop working for a moment there." Yunlong casually answered while imperfect immortality fixed his current problem.

"Are you stupid?" Gu Yuena coldly commented while crossing her arms.

"Pardon?" Yunlong tilted his head in confusion.

"Why did you even create such a technique in the first place, and it wasn't even safe." Gu Yuena's eyes gleamed in worry.

"What would happen next, huh?"

"Your heart suddenly exploded for no reason?"

"Are you worried about me?" Yunlong suddenly asked with a smile on his face. "You know that such a thing won't kill me right, even though it was still painful."

"Well, you already put a hole here before." He added while tapping his chest.

"Y-You..." Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel ashamed for some reason.

"Huh... Who is worried for you?" She quickly swayed her head away. "I just don't want you to die on my watch, that's it."

"Is that so..." Yunlong shrugged his shoulders slightly because his body had already gone back to normal.

"Y-Yeah." Gu Yuena firmly nodded her head.

"What a tsundere," Yunlong said while lifting his body off the ground.

"What's a tsundere?" Gu Yuena slightly frowned, which caused Yunlong to chuckle for a moment. "Tell me now, or you'll face my anger."

Yunlong briefly shook his head and answered, "Well, It's actually nothing but praise for a shy female."

"Praise, shy female..." Gu Yuena softly muttered while feeling a weird sensation in her heart.

Yunlong looked at Gu Yuena quietly because it seemed that she was still thinking about the "tsundere" term in her head.

They have been together for a few months now and are awkwardly close with each other, but Gu Yuena won't admit her feelings, which is kind of cute and complicated sometimes.

'If Renxue is here, she probably became friends with Gu Yuena.' Yunlong suddenly thought while moving his gaze to the azure sky.

'I don't know why, though.' He inwardly added.

Gu Yuena snapped from her thoughts and released a cough of her mouth to break the tension. "Ehem... Since you've recovered, let's continue." She calmly said.

Not far away, Yunlong's maids and Kaguya observed the two with excessively faint presence.

They have been looking at Yunlong's training for a few hours now.

"Did they just chat with each other?" Yu Ning'er commented while hiding in a bush.

"I don't know..." Bai Xue responded with a solemn expression.

"Wait, why did the young master chuckle?"

"Maybe Gu Yuena did something amusing in front of him." Zhu Zhuqing said while leaning on a tree.

"They are close..." Chu Xiaoyu's eyes glittered in surprise.

Meanwhile, Xue Nu was just there sitting on the flat ground with a doubtful expression.

"Why am I here too..." Xue Nu muttered in confusion.
