Yang Xiao’s Flying Leopard Divine Skill had already been cultivated to the Seventh Rank.

On this day, Yang Xiao was sitting in a medicine bath, enduring the Body Refining Torture. Deep within him, a cool sensation once again flowed through his body, resisting the searing pain of the potion.

Suddenly, Wu Dai’s voice rang in Yang Xiao’s mind.

"Kid, what’s inside your body?"

"Nothing’s in there."

"No way, there must be something. The medicinal effects of this concoction are fierce, penetrating the skin, sinking into the bones; the spicy, searing pain is unbearable.

For you, resisting such strong medicinal effects should be difficult. Without that cool sensation inside you alleviating the pain from soaking, you wouldn’t be able to endure it."

Yang Xiao was equally puzzled about this inexplicable cool sensation in his body, yet he dared not discuss it with anyone from the Cultivation Hall, not even the Eldest Prince Wanyan He. He could only keep it as a secret within his heart.

With Wu Dai, Yang Xiao didn’t feel the need to hide anything. Wu Dai had once been at the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm and had surely seen many things, possibly offering advice. So, he said,

"I don’t know what’s going on, either. This cool sensation began to appear ever since I started cultivating the Flying Leopard Divine Skill. It never appeared before."

Wu Dai hesitated for a moment and said,

"Want me to check it out for you to see what’s happening?"

"Sure."

"However, I need to control your Divine Sense to investigate clearly."

Yang Xiao was startled and said,

"You want to seize this opportunity to take my body? No way!"

"What’s the rush? I only need to borrow part of your Divine Sense, not all of it. Besides, if I weren’t sharing a body with you, I wouldn’t bother to check what’s going on in your body."

Yang Xiao hesitated, then said,

"Borrow part of my Divine Sense? How exactly does that work?"

"It’s simple. I invade your consciousness, and you don’t resist. Rest assured, it’s only a part of your consciousness. You can still resist anytime. After all, I’m one of the four Demon Kings of Dwarf Star. I have that credibility; I won’t deceive you."

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and then said,

"Fine, but be careful. If you attempt to control my consciousness and take over, I’ll let you see me die."

"..."

Wu Dai had been dormant in Yang Xiao’s body for a long time, regaining some spiritual power. He really didn’t want Yang Xiao to die casually, which would deplete his own spiritual energy again.

Wu Dai couldn’t be compared to Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao was a living person, able to be resilient, whereas Wu Dai was just a consciousness. If Yang Xiao caused his consciousness to disperse, he’d be at a great loss.

Wu Dai’s consciousness slowly invaded Yang Xiao’s mind, and Yang Xiao could clearly feel the invasion of the external consciousness.

However, compared to Wu Dai’s previous invasions, this time it was much gentler.

Wu Dai slowly obtained a small portion of Yang Xiao’s consciousness, and Yang Xiao instinctively became alert, activating his self-defensive awareness.

Although Wu Dai had a fleeting thought of taking over, he rationally dismissed it immediately.

Yang Xiao’s current spiritual power was growing stronger, and he couldn’t fully control him for the time being. This kid had some bizarre skills and could instantly enter a near-death state, which Wu Dai dared not risk.

Wu Dai only controlled one-tenth of Yang Xiao’s consciousness before stopping the invasion, starting to use this small part to explore Yang Xiao’s body.

Yang Xiao was sitting in the medicine bath, with skin turning a crimson purple, the spicy, burning sensation akin to bathing in a hotpot.

If not for the cool sensation alleviating part of his pain, he truly couldn’t bear it.

A moment later, Wu Dai’s consciousness withdrew actively from Yang Xiao’s mind.

"So, any findings?"

"Strange, why is there a flying leopard in the depths of your Genetic Energy Pool?"

"What?"

Yang Xiao was taken aback.

"You don’t even know? There’s a flying leopard in your body’s Genetic Energy Pool, and that cool sensation is emanating from the leopard."

"A flying leopard? How’s that possible? Could it be because of my cultivation of the Flying Leopard Divine Skill?"

"Do others have the same? Ask your companions next to you."

Yang Xiao glanced at the Royal Gold Medal Guards beside him, hesitated, and said,

"They probably don’t. I heard them say that to reach my level of the Flying Leopard Divine Skill, at the Seventh Rank, they had to cultivate for at least five years, and it only gets harder."

Yang Xiao suddenly recalled his first day in the secret chamber, learning the Flying Leopard Divine Skill, where the box bore an image of a flying leopard. At that time, a light flashed, and it seemed a flying leopard had flown into his body.

Under those circumstances, he hadn’t paid much attention, and even when he checked his body on the spot, there was nothing unusual, though he never checked the Genetic Energy Pool.

Now, hearing Wu Dai’s words, he quickly focused inside, concentrating his Divine Sense on his Genetic Energy Pool.

Indeed, hovering above the blue Genetic Energy Pool was a flying leopard, identical to the one he saw that day in the secret room.

At this moment, the flying leopard above the Genetic Energy Pool was emitting a white, cool sensation, slowly infusing Yang Xiao’s body, flowing through every part.

"Holy crap, what’s this?"

Yang Xiao was stunned by the scene.

Wu Dai didn’t provide an answer, having never encountered a similar situation himself.

After Yang Xiao completed the Flying Leopard Soul Chasing Potion, he jumped out of the medicine bath, ran for over an hour, then continued the soak.

When the cool sensation reappeared inside his body, Yang Xiao once again focused on his Genetic Energy Pool, and sure enough, saw the flying leopard hovering above, continuously emitting the cool sensation into his body.

"Wu Dai, it seems your abilities are limited too, unable to explain everything."

Wu Dai chuckled lightly,

"I’m not interested in your Witch Star’s crappy Genetic Evolution Methods, nor do I care to study them."

"You look down on the Genetic Evolution Methods of Witch Star? You do realize this Flying Leopard Divine Skill is exclusive to the Royal Gold Medal Guard Team of the Flying Leopard Empire? Many people can only dream of obtaining it."

"Humph, a broken technique, and look at how proud you are."

"Come on, if you’re envious, just admit it. I might consider teaching you."

"Oh, please. You, someone who hasn’t even broken through to the Emperor Level Realm, wants to teach me a Genetic Evolution Method? Are you out of your mind? I broke through to Emperor Level before you were even born, just a drop of liquid then."

"..."

"Alright, no more bragging. The only reason you broke through the Emperor Level is due to your age, having cultivated longer than me.

Your Dwarf Star’s Genetic Evolution Methods might not necessarily be superior, maybe even inferior?"

"You brat, I was a prodigy in Genetic Evolution back in the day, a top student. With your current level, if I guide you, you’d break through to the Emperor Level in no time."

"Will you die if you don’t brag?" Yang Xiao sneered.

"I’m not bluffing. Believe it or not, I can guide you and make you break through to the Emperor Level in three months."

"Enough, don’t treat me like a three-year-old. If I can break through to the Emperor Level in three years, that’d be impressive, even considered extraordinary on Witch Star."

"Alright, let’s make a bet. I’ll teach you how to break through to the Emperor Level now, and pass you a technique from our Dwarf Star."

"I don’t believe it! It’s absolutely impossible."

"Dare to try it?"

"I’ll try, who’s afraid? Bring it on, what are we betting?"

Wu Dai suddenly laughed and said,

"Haha, you brat. Trying to trick me into teaching you a Genetic Evolution Method? You wish. Think I’d fall for your trick? Haha, provoke me? You’re still too young."

"...MMP!"
