When Fang Yang returned to Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu's office, he had already suppressed the surging Qi within his body.
The injuries from earlier were perfectly concealed beneath a calm exterior.
"Ding, identity verification in progress…"
"Welcome, Senior Fang Yang."
A beam of dark blue light swept over Fang Yang, and a moment later, a crisp electronic prompt sounded.
Accompanied by a slight tremor, the room's door slowly opened.
Fang Yang walked in and bowed respectfully, saying, "Teacher, I'm back."
"Mm."
Leng Yaozhu sat behind her desk, nodding slightly.
Gu Yue seemed to sense something and quickly walked forward to gently hug Fang Yang, her eyes revealing worry.
"Fang Yang, you…"
Fang Yang subtly shook his head at Gu Yue, signaling her not to say more.
Gu Yue understood and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Oh my, you've only been apart for so long, and you already miss each other this much," Leng Yaozhu said with a relieved smile, teasing them.
"Teacher."
Gu Yue turned to Leng Yaozhu, her cheeks slightly flushed, with a hint of coquettishness.
Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu smiled and waved her hand, "Alright, Teacher won't say anymore. Seeing you two like this, I feel at ease."
"Teacher, Gu Yue and I will head back first," Fang Yang said, his voice steady as usual.
"Okay, visit often when you have time," Leng Yaozhu said gently.
Her gaze lingered on the two of them, filled with the care of an elder.
"Okay, Teacher."
Fang Yang and Gu Yue answered in unison.
Then, the two bowed to Leng Yaozhu and turned to leave the office.
In the corridor, Gu Yue gently held Fang Yang's hand and whispered, "Your Qi is a bit unstable. Are you injured?"
Her voice carried unconcealed worry.
Fang Yang smiled slightly, holding her hand back, "We'll talk when we get back. This isn't the place to speak."
A trace of heartache flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, but she didn't ask further, just silently tightened her grip on his hand… Shrek Academy, Outer Court.
Personal Dormitory.
"Fang Yang, what happened to you?" Gu Yue looked at Fang Yang, her eyes filled with worry.
"I'm fine, it's just a backlash from forcibly raising my Realm," Fang Yang said dismissively.
After speaking, he couldn't help but cough lightly, a trace of crimson blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Gu Yue's pupils constricted, and she immediately reacted, "That aura was released by you?"
"Mm."
Fang Yang nodded in affirmation, not denying it.
"You knew that forcibly raising your Realm would cause a backlash, so why did you still do it?" Gu Yue's voice was full of heartache.
"Gu Yue, what about you?" Fang Yang didn't answer directly, but softly counter-questioned.
Gu Yue immediately fell silent.
Fang Yang smiled slightly, reached out and pulled Gu Yue into his embrace, comforting her softly, "Don't worry, I'm really fine."
"You…"
Gu Yue sighed lightly, burying her face in his shoulder, finally not pressing the matter further.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask, "Oh, right, didn't you go to see Senior Liu Yang? He…"
"Mm."
Fang Yang nodded, his gaze deep as he looked at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue understood and raised her slender hand.
A spirit power barrier unfolded, enveloping the entire dormitory and isolating it from external prying eyes.
Only then did Fang Yang slowly speak, "He is the consciousness of the World Spirit, the chief of the seven consciousnesses."
"What?!"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, "World Spirit consciousness? Then he sought you out…"
"To jointly kill the World Master Tang Hao, and to oppose Sea God Tang San and his God Realm," Fang Yang said calmly, as if stating the most ordinary thing.
"You agreed?" Gu Yue pressed, her voice involuntarily lowered.
"Mm."
Fang Yang nodded, "This is what we were going to do anyway."
Gu Yue pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, "What conditions did the World consciousness offer?"
Fang Yang took a deep breath and slowly said, "God Position Legacy."
"I see…"
Gu Yue mused, a profound thought flashing in her eyes.
Then, she spoke, "Fang Yang, don't move for now."
A warm golden light emanated from Gu Yue's hand.
This was the light element she controlled, releasing a healing light imbued with life Qi.
As one of the purest elements, the light element naturally possessed powerful healing abilities.
Fang Yang only felt a warm current flow into his body, a tingling sensation spreading throughout, and his injured Meridians slowly repaired under the nourishment of this power.
After a while, Fang Yang gently held Gu Yue's hand, "It's alright, I'm fine now."
The power of the Emperor Realm was truly terrifying; if not for the strange fire pearl protecting him, he would have likely perished long ago.
Not only was the strange fire slowly repairing Fang Yang's injuries, but the golden dragon king divine core was also continuously providing Qi and blood, along with a vast life energy.
Coupled with Gu Yue's healing light, under the combined action of multiple forces, his injuries were slowly improving.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue withdrew her healing light and carefully checked Fang Yang's condition.
Only after confirming his Qi had stabilized did she let out a sigh of relief, "Don't do this again next time."
Fang Yang held Gu Yue's hand and softly said, "Okay, I understand."
"Fang Yang, I'm a bit tired."
Gu Yue said softly, her voice carrying a hint of fatigue.
She had just released the healing light, one of her light elements, which consumed a lot of energy.
"Okay, you rest," Fang Yang said gently, embracing Gu Yue softly.
Gu Yue lay in Fang Yang's arms, her breathing gradually steadying, and she soon fell into a dream.
Fang Yang quietly gazed at the sleeping face in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.
After a while, with a thought, his consciousness instantly sank into the internal space of the strange fire pearl.
The World before his eyes began to twist and change, and when Fang Yang opened his eyes again, the familiar Fire Square stood before him.
Twenty-three towering giant pillars stood majestically, each entwined with flames of different colors, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
Fang Yang slowly walked towards the center of the Fire Square.
Here stood a golden giant pagoda, its entire body flowing with profound light patterns.
The 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin was suppressed here.
"Release me quickly, or Brother Hao and my son Sea God Tang San will not let you off," Ah Yin's voice came from the pagoda, carrying a hint of weakness.
"Oh?"
Fang Yang said indifferently, "Do you think even if I release you, they will let me off?"
"You…" Ah Yin was speechless for a moment.
Fang Yang spoke, "Alright, you'd better stay inside obediently."
With a thought, the golden giant pagoda suddenly shone brightly.
Ah Yin, sealed within the pagoda, let out a series of mournful screams as her vast life Origin was forcibly extracted.
"No, this is my life Origin! Brother Hao and Little San will not let you off…" Ah Yin's curses gradually weakened, finally disappearing into the golden giant pagoda.
Fang Yang watched all of this expressionlessly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
