"Y-You want to practice Dragon’s Gaze? With ? But it’s dangerous doing it outside the Ancestral Dragon Temple." Xi ili said to him, worried that she might permanently injure him.
Yuan said, "That’s right. You’re more experienced with the technique, so I’d figured you can give so advice. Furthermore, during our match, it felt like I was understanding more about the technique just from looking at your eyes. As for injuring ... you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll be fine."
"Well... I don’t mind." Xi ili said.
Yuan then turned to look at Wang Xiuying and said, "What about you?"
"Don’t mind . I will be watching you in the background," she said.
Soti later, they arrived at the courtyard.
"I don’t really know what kind of advice I should give you, so let’s just use Dragon’s Gaze on each other like we did during our match and see if you can understand anything from it." Xi ili said to him.
Yuan nodded.
"Let’s start slow." Xi ili then stood about 10 ters away from him.
"We’re going to slowly approach each other like previously. Ready when you are."
"I am ready," Yuan said.
"Then we’ll use our Dragon’s Gaze on the count of three... two... one... go!"
Whoosh!
A profound pressure imdiately enveloped the courtyard when Yuan and Xi ili’s Dragon’s Gaze collided, giving Wang Xiuying a nostalgic feeling. However, this ti, she made sure to stand all the way back where the pressure didn’t affect her as much.
A few monts later, once they were feeling a little comfortable, Yuan and Xi ili began approaching each other.
And with each step they took, they increased the strength of their Dragon’s Gaze.
Before they knew it, both of them were standing directly in front of each other again, silently staring right into each others’ eyes like they wanted to see their soul.
Since this wasn’t a match, Xi ili didn’t try to overwhelm Yuan, and she rely matched his strength, perhaps even slightly above him.
A few minutes later, Xi ili asked him, "Well? Are you improving?"
"Can you increase the strength of your Dragon’s Gaze so more? You don’t have to go easy on ." Yuan said to her.
After a mont of silence, Xi ili suddenly increased the strength of her Dragon’s Gaze.
Although it wasn’t quite as powerful as it was during the match, it was pretty close, and it was just enough to not injure him and enough to make him feel pressured.
Yuan quickly began sweating under Xi ili’s powerful Dragon’s Gaze, feeling as though there was an almighty being staring down at him as though he was an ant.
A few minutes of pure silence later, once Xi ili noticed Yuan reaching his limit, she closed her eyes and said, "Okay, let’s take a rest here. Any more and you might suffer internal injuries, which is devastating for any cultivator."
"Okay." Yuan nodded, and he proceeded to sit down in the lotus position and closed his eyes, recalling everything he’d experienced just now.
An hour later, once they had recovered, Yuan and Xi ili returned to their training, and they would continue this until the day ended.
The following day, they also continued to do the sa thing.
On the third day, Yuan took a seat in the middle of the courtyard and closed his eyes to recall everything he’s learned for the past two days.
anwhile, Wang Xiuying and the Royal Family watched him in the background.
"What do you think? After two days of training, how is his progress?" The Dragon Emperor asked Xi ili.
"To be completely honest, he’s terrifying— his talents. He absorbs all experience like a sponge absorbing water and greatly improves in a short ti. I was able to see a clear difference and improvent in his Dragon’s Gaze after every practice session." Xi ili gave her judgnt.
"If he continues to practice the technique, he’ll most likely surpass very soon."
"If only he wasn’t born a human but a dragon instead. What a pity." Xi Murong sighed in a truly regretful tone.
"There’s nothing wrong with being talented as a human, as talents don’t favor a certain race. In the outside world, there are plenty of humans with talents that surpass even your father and ." The Dragon Empress spoke with a solemn expression on her face.
Soti later, a profound aura surrounded Yuan.
When the Royal Family saw this, their eyes widened with shock.
"Enlightennt! He’s experiencing enlightennt!" Xi Murong exclaid in a baffled voice.
"Shut your mouth! Don’t you dare disturb him!" The Dragon Empress imdiately slapped the back of his head while lecturing him.
"What’s an enlightennt?" Wang Xiuying asked in a whispering voice.
"Enlightennt is a trance-like state where your mind and heart becos crystal clear to focus on one thing— whatever caused the enlightennt." Xi ili explained.
And she continued, "When that happens, one will improve drastically at whatever they are trying to gain enlightennt on."
"For example, Yuan’s probably having enlightennt about the Dragon’s Gaze. Once he’s done, his understanding and mastery of the technique will improve drastically."
"I see... How long do enlightennts usually last?"
The Dragon Emperor said, "It depends on the complexity of whatever he’s having enlightennt about. If it’s a simple technique, he can be done in a matter of minutes."
"However, if he’s having an enlightennt about sothing complex— like Dragon’s Gaze, he could be in that state for days if not weeks."
"W-Weeks?!" Wang Xiuying exclaid in a low voice. What will happen to the Mystic Realm? And it’s not like she could take him out of enlightennt!
"Don’t worry, we have already prepared the teleport formation, so you can leave whenever. It doesn’t have to be today. If you want, you can even return by yourself first. He can follow you after he’s done." The Dragon Emperor said to her.
However, Wang Xiuying shook her head and said, "No, it’s okay. I will stay here until the very last minute. We ca here together, so we’ll leave together— at least we’ll try."
