The next day, sunlight streamed through the window curtains and reached Wang Feng's bed. Wang Feng opened his eyes. Looking around, he found that Huo Yuhao was cultivating, while Wang Dong was still fast asleep.
He then got up from the bed and walked toward the bathroom. Knowing that the others were outside, he casually opened the bathroom door.
While Wang Feng was showering, the bathroom door suddenly opened.
Wang Dong, who had originally planned to take a shower, froze in place when he saw the scene before him.
He stood rooted to the spot. Even though he had seen Wang Feng's body the day before, seeing it again from such a close distance made his face instantly flush red.
Wang Feng's body was well-proportioned, with firm, sculpted muscles. His wet skin glistened under the bathroom light, enhancing his already striking appearance. Wang Dong felt his heart race—whether it was from embarrassment or something he couldn't quite understand.
Without realizing it, his eyes wandered downward. But the moment he realized what he was doing, his heartbeat spiked. Panicking, he quickly turned around.
"I—I didn't mean to!" he shouted, his voice slightly trembling. He swiftly closed the bathroom door and dashed away.
Inside the bathroom, Wang Feng frowned upon hearing the door open. "What's with him? Why's he panicking like that?" he muttered, shaking his head.
Meanwhile, outside the bathroom, Wang Dong leaned against the wall, his face still bright red.
"What the heck did I just do…?" he whispered softly, covering his face.
Soon after, Wang Feng finished showering and stepped out of the bathroom. Near the door, Wang Dong was still leaning against the wall, hiding his face.
As Wang Feng was putting on his clothes, Huo Yuhao awoke from his cultivation state.
Wang Feng asked him, "How was the effect of the pill, Yuhao? Did you feel any changes while cultivating?"
"Yeah! My cultivation speed is now on par with a regular person's! And I think my soul power might've increased by a level too!" Huo Yuhao replied excitedly.
Seeing Yuhao so happy, Wang Feng couldn't help but smile as well.
He then noticed Wang Dong was still standing there. "Wang Dong, why are you still standing there? Weren't you going to take a shower?"
"I'm not taking a shower anymore. I'll go later," Wang Dong replied.
Wang Feng invited them to go have breakfast in the cafeteria.
After they finished eating, Wang Dong said he wanted to take a walk around the Sea God Lake. Huo Yuhao and Wang Feng couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they had no choice but to go with him.
The three of them left the cafeteria, walked past the freshman teaching building, and headed east along the southern side of Shrek Square. After a while, they arrived at the lakeside road.
Passing through the forest beside the path, the shimmering Sea God Lake appeared before them.
A soft mist mixed with fresh air drifted toward them. Even though Sea God Lake was man-made, its water was exceptionally clear. Its pure blue surface was deep, gentle, and elegant. Ripples glided across the satin-like surface of the lake, resembling the watery eyes of a young girl, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and green trees along the shore.
"It's so beautiful!" Wang Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath and stretch out his body fully.
As he stretched, his shirt inevitably lifted, revealing his round and firm buttocks. Wang Feng accidentally caught a glimpse.
He quickly looked away awkwardly, turning his gaze to the far side of the Sea God Lake.
While they were enjoying the scenery, Huo Yuhao noticed a red dot appearing through the lake's mist.
"What's wrong, Yuhao?" Wang Feng asked when he saw Huo Yuhao fall silent.
Huo Yuhao pointed in the direction he was looking. "Look, there seems to be a red dot over there."
Wang Feng followed his gaze and saw that there was indeed a red figure heading toward them.
As the red figure got closer, Wang Feng had a bad feeling. He quickly told Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to hide behind him.
The figure moved incredibly fast, and as the distance between them shrank to under a hundred meters, the three of them felt an intense, terrifying heat.
Wang Dong wanted to release his martial soul and escape, but he could only carry one person. While he hesitated, the red figure was already close.
The red figure emitted an overwhelming aura. Even Wang Feng felt that this person's aura was stronger than Zhou Yi's.
This means that the red figure was at least a Spirit Emperor, and its power might even be the strongest among all Spirit Emperors.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong felt panicked and anxious, while Wang Feng was searching for a solution to the current situation.
As Wang Feng was thinking, his Shenlong Emperor Martial Soul suddenly showed a desire to emerge—almost as if it had been provoked by the red figure.
A massive dragon shadow appeared behind Wang Feng. A dominating aura radiated from his body, making the air tremble. Golden light wrapped around him, bringing both warmth and overwhelming pressure.
Then, the Shenlong Emperor let out a roar, and an immense pressure burst forth from it.
Hearing the dragon's roar, the red figure immediately trembled in fear.
Even though it was unconscious, its instincts still submitted to the suppression of the bloodline released by the Shenlong Emperor.
After that, the red figure's aura slowly began to dissipate. Its once-floating body started to fall into the lake below.
At the same time, when the Shenlong Emperor's roar echoed, Tianmeng—inside Huo Yuhao's body suddenly woke up from her sleep.
"Hmm... What's that sound? Who's yelling so loud and disturbing my sleep?" Tianmeng muttered lazily, showing none of the majesty of a million-year soul beast.
She lay in the sea of Huo Yuhao's consciousness, rubbing her eyes like a child who had just woken up.
But as she sensed the overwhelming power that shook her soul, her expression changed.
"...Wait... This aura... This... a true dragon bloodline?" Tianmeng's body trembled, and her face showed a hint of nervousness.
Huo Yuhao, who had just relaxed after surviving the crisis, heard Tianmeng's voice in his head. "Sister Tianmeng, you're awake?"
"YES, I'M AWAKE! Thanks for waking me up with… THAT DIMENSION-SHATTERING ROAR!" Tianmeng replied with a snort.
"What's going on this time, Xiao Yuhao? Why was there such a powerful dragon aura just now?"
"It came from Wang Feng," Huo Yuhao answered. "A giant golden dragon shadow appeared behind him."
"Wang Feng? You mean that kid? I've always felt something terrifying inside him… Don't tell me, that's… a dragon?"
"I don't know either, Sister Tianmeng," Yuhao replied quietly. "But let's talk later. I'm worried about Wang Feng. He might be hurt from using that power."
Tianmeng fell silent for a moment in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, then spoke again with a tone more serious than usual, "If that really is a true dragon… then you need to be careful, Yuhao. Something like that isn't to be taken lightly. Even I… I wouldn't dare to provoke a true dragon recklessly."
Tianmeng's usual lazy and playful tone had completely disappeared. Now, she sounded truly alert.
Meanwhile, the dragon shadow behind Wang Feng gradually faded, and the aura from his Martial Soul slowly subsided.
The red figure, which had looked terrifying before, was now unconscious and floating on the surface of Sea God Lake.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were near Wang Feng, quickly rushed over to him.
"Wang Feng, are you okay!?" Wang Dong asked worriedly, his eyes full of both shock and concern.
"I'm fine. What about you two?" Wang Feng asked in return.
"We're okay too," Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong replied almost in unison.
Wang Feng felt relieved, but then suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura approaching rapidly.
