Cultivation Online-Chapter 1401 Training With Liya(2)

1401 Training With Liya(2)

"You… what did you do to your body?" Liya asked Yuan with a frown after their exchange.

Yuan smiled and said, "You make it sound like I'd done something bad to my body. I just achieved a new physique, that's all."

"A new physique?" Liya frowned at his words which made it sound like it was an easy thing to do.

Now knowing that Yuan could catch her fists, Liya no longer held back and charged at him again, this time using all of her strength. Moreover, red scales started forming on her arms and neck, indicating that she had transformed.

Yuan, not daring to underestimate her partial transformation, also used his full strength.

Their aura collided, causing a gust of wind to stir within the usually calm mountain peak.

When they started throwing punches and kicks around, the families living within the upper areas of the mountain felt the ground shaking, as if they were experiencing a minor earthquake.

Every strike Liya tossed at Yuan would eradicate any of the Demon Sealing Faction members with ease, yet Yuan blocked them with confidence.

Suddenly, in the midst of their battle, Liya's eyes glowed gold, emitting a formidable pressure directed at Yuan.

'Dragon's Gaze?!' Yuan did not expect Liya to be able to use such a technique and was taken by surprise.

However, after being struck by her Dragon's Gaze, Yuan felt something was off about it. The power and pressure were lacking, almost as though it was incomplete.

After using her trump card, Liya drove her palm at Yuan's stomach.

Seeing this, Yuan smiled and said, "This is how you use Dragon's Gaze!"

"Wha—"

Before Liya could even react, Yuan's eyes glowed gold, sending Liya's consciousness straight into the abyss.

While Liya's body remained frozen in place, within her mind, she felt the intense gaze of a colossal eye, emanating an unimaginable amount of pressure.

Liya, despite her pride, felt as insignificant as an ant under the gaze of that eye.

'W-what is this…?" Liya's entire being trembled in fear as she couldn't take her gaze away from the eye, almost as though she was forced to face it.

Yuan deactivated Dragon's Gaze after three short seconds, but it felt like she was in the void for minutes for Liya.

When she returned to reality, Liya found herself sitting on the floor, her body soaked in sweat.

"Y-you… what the hell was that just now?!" she shouted at him.

"I was going to ask you the same. What technique was that just now? It felt like Dragon's Gaze, but it's too weak."

"Dragon's Gaze? As if such a technique exists in this world! The one I used was created based on the foundation of Dragon's Gaze. I don't have a name for it." Liya revealed.

Yuan's eyes widened with surprise after learning that she had managed to create a technique similar to Dragon's Gaze without knowing the original.

"How is that possible? If you don't know Dragon's Gaze, how do you know its foundation?" he asked.

"Hmph. Why should I tell you?" Liya sneered.

Suddenly, the Lord's voice resounded, "Dragons with a royal bloodline are born with an innate understanding of Dragon's Gaze. The purer the blood, the better."

"Oh? So you belong to a royal bloodline?" Yuan looked at Liya.

"..."

Seeing her unresponsiveness, Yuan smiled and said, "Would you like me to teach you Dragon's Gaze? The authentic one."

Liya's eyes widened at his words. She opened her mouth but quickly closed it again. It was clear that her pride was holding her back.

"Take some time to think about it. My offer will always be open… probably." Yuan said.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Now that I think about it, why don't you play Cultivation Online, where Dragon's Gaze exists?"

The Lord responded in her place, "The Soul Transference Array has its restrictions. For example, if humans have a circle-shaped soul, beasts would have a square-shaped soul, and our square-shaped soul aren't affected by the Soul Transference Array, hence why we are unable to visit the Divine Heavens through Cultivation Online."

"I see… Anyways, want to continue our training? I won't use Dragon's Gaze again." Yuan asked Liya.

"Hmph, you obviously don't need any training, so I will stop wasting my time with you. Wang Ming! You should've recovered enough by now! Come!" Liya turned her gaze to Wang Ming, who trembled from fear.

'Ah, shit… She'll probably use me as a punching bag because she cannot defeat Yuan…' he sighed inwardly.

Accepting his fate, he approached Liya for another round of training. Each member of the Demon Sealing Faction typically spars six to seven times a day with Liya, so it wasn't anything new.

At the end of the day, the Demon Sealing Faction made their way down the mountain with their bodies aching in pain. However, Yuan decided to stay with Liya upon the Lord's request.

"Liya, now that you've found someone who can match you, it's a good chance for you to get some proper training for once."The Lord said.

"Huh? I don't need any training! Especially not from him!" Liya exclaimed.

"You can say that once you defeat him."

"..."

The Lord continued to speak, "Yuan, do you mind training with her a little longer?"

"I don't mind. It will also benefit me since the others aren't enough to make me sweat anymore." Yuan nodded.

He looked at Liya and continued, "If you can defeat me even once, I will give you the Dragon's Gaze technique as a reward."

Liya's eyebrows twitched at his alluring words.

"You better not go back on your words," she said a moment later.

Yuan smiled, "I promise."

They continued sparring with each other for the rest of the day. By the time Yuan returned home, it was already well past midnight.

"Damn it! How is he so strong?! It doesn't make any sense!" Liya cursed out loud after Yuan had left.

"He's the Immortal Monarch's descendant. It's only natural." The Lord smiled.

"The Immortal Monarch's descendant…" Liya mumbled.

She remembered Yuan claiming to be the reincarnation of the Immortal Monarch himself, but she was still having trouble believing it.

"But to think he learned Dragon's Gaze, even I did not expect that." The Lord said, before mumbling to himself, "If he can solve our current predicament, perhaps I should reward him with my blood essence, which would greatly assist his cultivation path..."
