Chapter: 55

"About a thousand more, I guess," Yun Che muttered while watching the map.

A week had passed since the second phase of the trials started, with Yun Che absolutely dominating the whole trial with the combination of telekinesis and clairvoyance.

Throughout the trial, Azure Dragon could only wonder speechlessly if he made the trials way too easy, and maybe he should have made it harder than this.

If Yun Che and Yuechan were to hear this, they would have cursed the old dragon.

Easy?

If not for Yun Che's bizarre method, they would have died in the first part already!

"Say ahh~"

"..."

Finding Yuechan blankly staring at him, he coughed.

"I should be able to finish the trail today. You should eat and be ready for anything that may come with the next trial."

"..." Yun Che's brows flinched as he found her silently staring at him.

He wondered if he had fallen under the charm of his beautiful face or something.

'It makes sense. No wonder she has been glaring at me since the time she woke up to find me hugging her and sleeping,' he thought sarcastically.

Obviously, he was being sarcastic to himself.

If she was this angry with him sleeping by her side, he could only imagine what she would do once he performed the "ritual" to repair her profound veins and strength.

"Are you participating in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament?" Yuechan asked suddenly.

Yun Che looked confused at her sudden question but still answered, "No, but I would surely be there."

He made a contemplating face before he smirked.

"So it's the best place for you to come and meet me, don't you think so?"

His smirk only widened when he saw Yuechan averting his gaze and looking sideways.

Even though she didn't talk much, it was fun teasing her.

Since her cultivation had collapsed, so did her Frozen Heart.

Right now, she has only herself to control her emotions… and she wasn't the best at it, Yun Che could testify.

"With your strength, speed of cultivation, and bizarre methods, it shouldn't be hard to win the tournament. Then why aren't you participating in it?" Yuechan asked, confused.

In the past month, she had seen him doing one bizarre thing after another. In her opinion, it shouldn't be hard for him to reach and surpass every youth in the tournament, so she didn't understand why he wasn't joining it.

"I was indeed going to join it," Yun Che answered while feeding her, who gladly took the bite of the meat. "But then I thought of another thing. I won't tell you now, but I'm sure you would be surprised to find it."

She once again gave him the stare before leaning to take another bite from his hand.

"Why so secretive? Can't you tell me already?"

She would never say that out loud, but she was indeed curious to know what he was talking about.

Yun Che smiled seeing her almost pouting expression and continued to feed her.

Though she rarely showed expressions, when she did, he could only lament the fact that he didn't have a camera or profound imagery stone.

He wanted to store her expressions and keep them by his side.

She looked beautiful and cute enough to cure depression.

"Wait here… I'll go and finish the remaining numbers of Profound Beasts. Then, we can move to the next phase," Yun Che said.

Yuechan nodded quietly.

She stared at Yun Che's back as he exited before a sigh left her luscious lips.

She wondered when she started to take his care for granted. She didn't even feel disgust as she did at the start!

Now, she felt more... peaceful and happy?

Even she didn't understand.

Maybe after spending more time, she would understand the complex emotions in her own heart.

…

..

.

Yun Che stood outside of the rock house and checked his strength—Peak of True Profound Realm!

To reach the peak of the true profound realm from the fifth-stage of the true profound realm within a week was just unheard of!

Even Jasmine had to rub her eyes over and over to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.

In the end, she thought Yun Che was indeed the reincarnation of Primordial God.

So his talent in the way of cultivation made sense to her.

Yes, since her talk with him four months ago, she already believed Yun Che to be a Primordial God's reincarnation.

Only then did everything make sense to her… or at least, most of the things did.

He smiled and nodded his head.

"Even though the quality and quantity of profound energy on this star is low, and it reduces the speed of my cultivation by a lot, it shouldn't take me long before I am able to break into the Divine Realm!"

"I also need to finish this trail now. There is still five months or so before the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. I need to go back and train Cang Yue… Hehehe… I can't wait to see Qingyue's reaction."

Yun Che wondered what kind of reaction the Ancestral Goddess would be making right now.

Chuckling, he opened the map and started to mark the remaining red dots.

And a minute or two later, a dignified yet confused voice resounded from above.

"... Congratulations, young humans, you have completed the second trial of Dragon God's legacy."

"Humph!"

Yun Che didn't like Azure Dragon, so he snorted when he heard his voice, showing his dissatisfaction with the old dragon.

"..." Azure Dragon's eyes stared at him speechlessly.

At one point, he was amazed at how fast Yun Che cleared the trials and at the other point, confused as to how he did it.

But one thing he didn't understand was his dissatisfaction towards him.

He wondered what he did wrong.

"Now then? How do I enter the last trial?"

Since the old dragon didn't continue, Yun Che asked.

"There is no need for it." Azure Dragon replied. "Dragon God's last trial and Phoenix's last trial, both are of the same theme; character and heart! Since you have already passed Phoenix's trial, taking Dragon God's would be useless. Hence, you have passed all my trials!"

A gate appeared in front of Yun Che, the same gate from where he entered the trials.

"Pass through it, and you will return to the cave."

Now Yun Che was nervous.

Since the trials were over, it was time to keep his promise of healing Yuechan.

Thinking about it made him nervous.

'Forced-love, yes, it's forced-love in Chinese!'

Nodding his head, he returned to see Yuechan looking towards him; he could see excitement and expectation in her eyes.

For a cultivator, their cultivation was their life.

They would spend their whole life cultivating, so losing it was the same as losing their lives.

Now the chance of regaining her cultivation was in front of her, obviously, this made Yuechan excited; at the same time, made Yun Che not as excited as her.

"Just… don't get angry at me later, okay?"

Her crescent brows frowned, and she looked at Yun Che with a confused gaze, not understanding what he meant by it.

Yun Che also didn't explain.

Here's the corrected text while keeping the format unchanged:

He quietly picked her up and laid the bed back in the poison pearl.

{This princess doesn't need this bed anymore. Buy her a new one!}

"..."

Ignoring the grumbling redhead in his head, he passed through the gate and appeared back in the cave.

"You are the first person to ever pass the Dragon God's Trail on this continent. I must congratulate you once more."

Yun Che rolled his eyes as he took the bed out and laid Yuechan on it once more.

In the past month, he had healed pretty much everything except for all that was related to her profound veins.

He didn't want to take the risk of her never recovering, so he did not attempt to heal them.

He turned around and looked at the shining eyes in the darkness.

"With how hard you made it, I doubt anyone but me could have passed it in the first place."

"You are quite confident in your strength."

"I wouldn't have passed the trial if I wasn't."

"Indeed," Dragon God replied.

"Alright, as promised, six drops of Dragon Blood."

"... Even if you hadn't asked me about that, I would still have given you six drops of Dragon Bloodline," Azure Dragon stated. "If one person took the trial, he would have gotten only three drops of Dragon God Bloodline, but since you took the test with her, you would have gotten six drops of bloodline anyways."

"..." He didn't remember the original, so he had thought that six drops of bloodline were given because Yun Che had asked the old dragon to save Yuechan, but it seems that because he took the trial with her, he was going to get six drops anyway.

"I'll give you seven days to absorb these drops. After that, you can save that woman; since you already seem to know the method, I won't add anything to it."

"For a lonely old man, you sure are being tactful, I see."

Yun Che nodded, and felt that some of the hate he had for the old man had decreased.

He sat on the ground and rested his back on the bed.

Six drops of Dragon God Bloodline appeared in the air before all of them entered his brows and vanished.

When he was refining Phoenix's Bloodline last time, he had gained a skill called "Bloodline Refining" which he had maxed out before the start of this trail.

So the moment the six drops of blood entered his body, the skill kicked in.

And in a second or two, Yun Che opened his eyes already.

"I'm done."

"... What?" Azure Dragon God's eyes suddenly popped up in the darkness, and they stared down at Yun Che in amazement. "You really are…"

Once again, confusion took over his mind.

He was really starting to wonder if the world had changed so much after his death that the norms had changed so much that he couldn't even understand the youth in front of him.

How could someone only refine dragon god's blood so fast?

Is this a joke?

Was dragon god's blood so cheap?

"Can I ask, how?" In the end, he decided to ask directly, hoping to get an answer.

"What do you mean?" Yun Che looked towards him with a raised brow. "I absorbed it, that's all. After absorbing phoenix bloodline, my body has already adapted to it. Hence, it was not difficult this time."

The dragon god's eyes narrowed in silent contemplation before a dignified sigh resounded, and they vanished.

"Since you already are aware of the Virgin Dragon Seed, I won't disturb you two. Once you are done, call me, and I'll appear."

Silence took over the cave.

With his back facing Yuechan, he took a deep breath.

His face looked like he was about to go on a war!
