Xia Chen, Guo Ran, and the others nodded. They knew that the warriors who awakened the Destiny Roulette late were all because their dragon souls were too strong.
For these dragon souls to return to their strongest state, they need even more energy. Only when the dragon soul is fully restored and shares power with its master can they awaken the Destiny Roulette.
After all, back in the Imperial Dragon Blood Pool, they fused their dragon souls, which connected their souls, signifying that from now on, they would be partners bound by life and death, sharing honor and disgrace.
Under the dual system, if one side is lacking, balance cannot be achieved, and thus the Destiny Roulette cannot be awakened.
The larger the deficit, the stronger their dragon souls become. Now that their Destiny Wheel has awakened, the original pressure of the Destiny Wheel is terrifying. If they awaken a phenomenon, their power will increase more than a hundredfold, which would be terrifying.
Previously, the positions of squad leaders and sergeant majors within the Dragonblood Legion didn't change much because their strength was so great that even if they were occasionally defeated and gave up their positions, it wouldn't take long before they were reclaimed.
But now things are different. Some warriors' Destiny Wheel is too powerful, and within the Dragonblood Legion, a major upheaval is likely to occur.
"I feel so stressed." Li Qi saw the Destiny Wheel of these warriors and couldn't help but smile wryly.
"It's okay, if anyone beats me, I'll happily give up my spot." Song Mingyuan felt no pressure at all and chuckled.
Dragonblood warriors are as close as brothers; no one has ever lost face over a position, and no one cares so much about it.
The reason for fierce internal competition is that stronger people can shoulder heavier burdens; otherwise, it's slacking off, putting the brothers in danger.
Soon, all the Dragonblood warriors awakened the Destiny Roulette. For a moment, the entire Dragonblood Legion was full of vigor, their state completely transformed.
At the same time, they admired Long Chen even more, directly elevating all the warriors to the status of Destined Children. This ability was simply heaven-defying.
When all the Dragonblood Warriors awakened, everyone returned to the academy. When the Dragonblood Warriors braved the vast fluctuations of fate to return to the academy, everyone was stunned. They had no idea what had happened during that day.
After returning to the academy, Long Chen, as the dean, gathered all disciples who had awakened the Child of Destiny. Whether disciples from the branch or main courtyards, they immediately assembled.
Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole both returned to the team. At this moment, Bai Shishi wore a worried expression, her eyes filled with guilt and anxiety. Long Chen was taken aback and sent a voice transmission to Bai Shishi:
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, Long Chen, I... I made Sister Qingxuan angry... She said she wanted to stay at the Alchemy Institute, and besides, she wouldn't accompany us to the Dragon Domain anymore. After Bai Shishi finished speaking, she was so anxious she was about to cry.
It turned out that after Yu Qingxuan took Bai Shishi's hand and left, she reminded Bai Shishi to keep a close eye on Long Chen after going to the Dragon Domain, not to let him act recklessly, and to take good care of him.
Bai Shishi was startled, thinking she was jealous and had hit Bai Xiaole, which had upset her. Yu Qingxuan explained that she wanted to use the power of the divine statue to comprehend the eighth volume, the Great Brahma Sutra.
But Bai Shishi didn't believe her. She couldn't help but feel both embarrassed and anxious. Back then, Long Chen had held Yu Qingxuan in public and said such touching words. As a woman, she must have felt a bit uncomfortable.
But that was a woman's nature, not jealousy toward Yu Qingxuan. She panicked, and no matter how Yu Qingxuan explained, she thought he was always blaming her.
Now, when she spoke to Long Chen, she seemed like a prisoner about to be judged. Her uneasy gaze was heartbreaking. Long Chen looked at her and smiled slightly, sending a voice transmission:
"Silly girl, you're overthinking it. Qingxuan isn't that kind of person. Besides, the one who should apologize shouldn't be you, but me."
Hearing Long Chen's comfort, Yu Qingxuan immediately felt much more at ease. She might not have believed Yu Qingxuan's words, but she trusted Long Chen.
Yu Qingxuan is naturally kind-hearted, but sometimes she is not good at expressing her emotions. With Bai Shishi's self-suggestion, she suddenly misunderstood Yu Qingxuan.
Long Chen knew that although he had single-handedly blocked the shock of the Dan Emperor's memories, Yu Qingxuan, after a thousand lifetimes of reincarnation, must have sensed something as well.
Since the Great Brahma Heaven killed the Dan Emperor, there has been no more Dan Emperor in this world. Perhaps to avoid the Great Brahma's spies, or to avoid karma, the Dan Emperor was called the Dan Ancestor.
Long Chen didn't know if Yu Qingxuan's memories would be awakened again, but he couldn't force her. He wanted Yu Qingxuan to be happy and joyful, to be a free-spirited phoenix, not a caged bird.
Long Chen could only pray in his heart that she wouldn't be awakened. He didn't want her to carry anything. He was willing to shoulder his own shoulders and carry the entire sky for her, letting her live carefree and silent. Her grudge, Long Chen would repay every penny.
Those blood debts owed to her, Long Chen wanted them to repay a thousand times over. In this life, Long Chen wanted to ensure her peace and happiness for a lifetime.
Hearing Long Chen's reply, Bai Shishi finally felt at ease. All the prodigies at the Destiny Child level within Lingxiao Academy were gathered together. Those from the main academy were extremely excited, while the disciples from the First Branch were somewhat uneasy.
After all, Long Chen had killed too many people before—from vice deans to elders at all levels, and even those disciples. Long Chen's ruthless methods made them fearful. Although they admired Long Chen's martial prowess, they also feared his bloody and ruthless methods.
"As the academy principal, I should lead the academy, work diligently, and quickly raise its strength.
Unfortunately, I am entangled with trivial matters and have no time for other concerns. Now that the First Branch is severely weakened and my strength is greatly diminished, I, Long Chen, bear undeniable responsibility.
Today, I have gathered you all to give you a stroke of luck, to make up for the losses I caused to the First Branch by slaughtering traitors. Long Chen said loudly.
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, the disciples of the main academy were all fired up. They knew Long Chen so well. When Long Chen said he would grant them a fortune, it must be an extraordinary fortune.
The disciples of the First Branch Courtyard saw the excitement on the main academy's faces and couldn't help but feel excited as well. They also wanted to know what kind of fortune Long Chen was about to bestow upon them.
"As Sons of Destiny, everyone has already entered the Immortal Realm and is qualified to awaken the vision.
Only by awakening the vision can you truly unleash the power of the Destiny Roulette and become the true Chosen Children.
I can't guarantee that all of you will awaken the Destiny Phenomenon, but I can guarantee that at least half of you will. Long Chen said.
"What?"
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, the disciples of the First Branch were all shocked. Ye Ziwen was especially excited:
"Dean Long Chen, are you telling the truth?"
"Boom!"
Long Chen waved his hand, and a towering tree appeared in the void. Endless branches and leaves enveloped the entire academy. On the tree, countless rays of rosy light and a thousand rays of auspicious colors shimmered. Each leaf, like glass, shimmered brilliantly. The moment it appeared, all the experts present were stunned by the appearance of this tree.
