Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Bai Lingmo stared at Wang Gang standing at the door, her mouth agape in shock, "Wang Gang?!"

Wang Gang ignored Bai Lingmo and slowly drew his broadsword from his back. "You should stay to the side. I'm only fighting her today."

Bai Lingmo's face was icy as she rushed in front of Qin Xue, spreading her arms wide to protect her. "No, what do you mean? This is a competition! Why are you targeting Qin Xue?"

Wang Gang frowned slightly and calmly said, "I don't need to report to you what I do. Li Daoxuan will come to find you soon. Don't meddle in other people's business."

Bai Lingmo looked at Wang Gang with disdain and shouted at the top of her lungs, "No! I'm standing right here today, and it won't matter if Li Daoxuan comes."

"Oh?" Behind Wang Gang, a figure flipped up and squatted on the railing, grinning, "Wife~ You missed me so soon?"

Upon hearing the word "wife," Bai Lingmo's cheeks visibly flushed red. "Who's your wife?! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Old Wang...excuse me, excuse me..." Li Daoxuan carefully pushed aside Wang Gang's broadsword and walked straight to Bai Lingmo. "You are my fiancée, so aren't you my wife?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Bai Lingmo threatened in a low voice.

Li Daoxuan gently hugged Bai Lingmo and laughed, "Hey, Old Wang's going to get into a fight today, let's not stay here..."

Seeing the two of them acting so intimately, Qin Xue recalled Chen Shu, who had promised her a few days ago that he would be back in two or three days.

...A sense of desolation lingered in her mind. She had obtained the power she desired, so she knew she couldn't continue like this.

“No, Qin Xue is my good friend, I can’t leave her alone.” Bai Lingmo resolutely refused, raising her eyes to gaze firmly at Li Daoxuan, who was standing close to her.

"...Alright." Seeing that Bai Lingmo was serious, Li Daoxuan helplessly turned to Wang Gang, "Old Wang, for my sake, can you wait a bit?"

Before Wang Gang could agree or object, Qin Xue stepped past Bai Lingmo and Li Daoxuan, saying, "Thank you, but no need... We'll fight outside."

Wang Gang was slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, turned around to signal Qin Xue to follow, and stepped into the courtyard.

"Qin Xue..." Bai Lingmo called out softly, but Li Daoxuan covered her mouth.

Qin Xue simply turned around, smiled slightly at Bai Lingmo, and then followed Wang Gang.

As they reached the stairwell and prepared to step into the rain, Wang Gang suddenly turned around and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a simple sparring match."

After saying that, he turned around and stepped back into the rain.

Looking at the resolute figure ahead, Qin Xue couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, she hadn't received any training, and the fact that she learned about the other person's strength from Bai Lingmo undoubtedly pushed her confidence to its lowest point.

Wang Gang stopped in the courtyard and slowly turned around. Raindrops fell on the pale blue blade of the broadsword, making its sharpness even more pronounced.

Qin Xue stood still, drew his straight sword, and did not adopt any fighting stance. In terms of swordsmanship, he had seen the most from chivalrous knights.

That feeling of composure, no matter what kind of enemy she encountered, remained vivid in her memory.

Rumble——!

A deep rumble of thunder exploded, like igniting the fuse of an explosive device.

Wang Gang picked up his broadsword and charged straight at Qin Xue like a tiger eyeing its prey.

A powerful, heavy slash cut through the rain, like a guillotine announcing death!

Qin Xue's face turned pale, and she subconsciously swung her knife at the blade in front of her.

clang--!

With a loud, crisp impact, Qin Xue felt her entire right arm go numb as if she had been electrocuted.

However, this feeling lasted only 0.1 seconds, or even less, before being replaced by a strange chill.

Om-!

A pale blue ripple of cold air instantly exploded from Qin Xue's body! The surrounding raindrops, upon touching the cold air, froze and fell instantly.

Wang Gang was caught off guard and was thrown back several meters by the shockwave, his entire body strangely sluggish.

A faint blue light emanated from Qin Xue's body, her long black hair danced in the wind, and faintly, her hair turned white, revealing a pair of pink dragon horns.

A strange sense of power filled her entire body, leaving Qin Xue somewhat bewildered.

A hoarse, ethereal voice echoed in my ears, “Canglin Hanlong bloodline fusion 18%.”

Hearing the strange voice beside her, Qin Xue asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Hahaha...!" The old voice laughed heartily, "I am the last true dragon soul of the Canglin Hanlong lineage. I have stored the remaining dragon soul in my bloodline, just to help the successor to successfully continue my dragon lineage."

Qin Xue nodded, seemingly understanding, "Then... is there anything I can help you with?"

"Old Dragon's wish is to continue my dragon lineage. All other matters are unimportant. You just need to live a peaceful life and wait for the bloodlines to fully merge."

Qin Xue thought for a moment. This bloodline was given to him by Chen Shu, so does that mean...? "Then... do you know Chen Shu?"

"Chen Shu?" The old voice was filled with doubt. "I don't know him. I have been asleep for a thousand years. All the things I knew and the people I knew have turned to smoke. Naturally, I would not recognize him."

"...Okay." Disappointment was clearly visible in Qin Xue's eyes.

Regarding Chen Shu, the swordsman said he didn't know, and the divine power was also vague. Now, they've finally found a glimmer of hope...

Ending her random thoughts, Qin Xue looked at Wang Gang in the distance; he was still fighting with someone.

Since awakening the [Azure Frost Dragon] bloodline, she has not used her bloodline ability. This is the first time she has used it, and she is not sure if she can defeat Wang Gang.

Wang Gang reached out and brushed away the remaining ice shards on his cloak, then gently pressed the communicator next to his ear.

"...Chief Yuan, I request permission to use Thunder Technique to spar with her."

Underground at the training camp.

Yuan Gang sat up straight and stared seriously at the... Dragon Girl on the screen?

"This...this is a training camp, with the suppression of the Zhenxu Stele, how could she use the Forbidden Ruins?!" Hong Hao took two steps forward, intently observing Qin Xue on the screen, "Could it be...like [Black King Annihilation]?"

“No…” Yuan Gang slowly shook his head. “【Black King Annihilation】is a forbidden area, and there will be mental energy fluctuations when it is used. Qin Xue’s 【Azure Frost Dragon】has no mental energy fluctuations at all.”

As a "Sea" Realm cultivator, Yuan Gang should have been able to detect the mental energy fluctuations throughout the entire training camp. However, Qin Xue showed no mental energy fluctuations whatsoever.

However, although there was no fluctuation in mental energy, judging from the oppressive aura, his strength was probably at the peak of the "Zhan" realm, on the verge of breaking through.

"Then what could this be? How could it possibly have the ability to not have mental energy fluctuations?" Hong Hao looked at Yuan Gang with suspicion, seemingly not believing Yuan Gang's words at all.

"Ahem." Senior Li coughed lightly from the chair next to him, followed by a sarcastic laugh. "Is Instructor Hong blind to what's right in front of him?"
