Cultivation Online Chapter 368: First Defeat

Chapter 368: First Defeat

Well... If he cannot stay here, how about I just follow him outside? Xi Meili suddenly suggested. I have always been interested in the outside world, anyway.

You want to go outside? Are you crazy? The humans will hunt you for your blood! Its too dangerous! The Dragon Emperor immediately refused.

Thats only what our ancestors taught us, but they have also never been to the outside world before. If there are humans like Yuan and Wang Xiuying outside, I dont think itll be that bad.

After a moment of silence, the Dragon Emperor said, Unfortunately, thats impossible not because I dont want to let you go outside with him. Your cultivation base is simply too high to follow him back to the Lower Heavens, where Spirit Grandmaster is the limit.

Youre simply asking to be punished by the heavens for doing so.

Oh, right... Hes from the Lower Heavens... Xi Meili sighed, completely forgetting about that for a second.

Meanwhile, inside Yuans room, Wang Xiuying checked his pulses just to make sure he was okay.

Seeing him sleep like this... he really reminds me of Yu Tian... Wang Xiuying said as she stared at Yuans sleeping face with a somewhat dazed gaze.

The more she looked at Yuan, the more she felt like she had seen him before.

Nnn... Yuan suddenly opened his eyes slowly.

Where am I...? he mumbled in a dazed voice.

Oh, youre awake, Yuan. Were at the Dragon Palace in your room. Xi Meili took us back after you fell unconscious during the match. Wang Xiuying explained to him what had happened.

I see... So I lost the match, huh? A smile on Yuans face as he realized the situation.

This was my first time losing a fight, he sighed in a somewhat bitter voice.

Losing felt much worse than hed expected, especially since its his first defeat.

I wouldnt really call that a fight... And your opponent has 10 thousand years more experience than you. Its only obvious that you wouldnt be able to defeat her no matter your talents. Wang Xiuying said, trying to comfort him.

I guess youre right. Yuan nodded.

Wait right here. Ill go to Xi Meili to let her know that youre awake. Wang Xiuying said before leaving the room for a few minutes.

Xi Meili... she was very strong stronger than anyone I have ever fought before, Yuan mumbled as he stared at the ceiling with a dazed look on his face.

Sometime later, Wang Xiuying returned with Xi Meili and the Dragon Emperor.

Are you okay, Yuan? Are you hurt anywhere? Xi Meili asked him.

I am fine, he said.

Anyways, you really surprised me, Yuan. Youre only 18 years old, yet your comprehension for the Dragons Gaze is already as strong as mine! Xi Meili immediately praised him afterward.

A bittersweet smile appeared on Yuans face.

As strong? Thats not true. I was completely defeated by your Dragons Gaze.

Yuan, if you dont mind me asking, where did you learn the Dragons Gaze? And how long has it been since you learned it? The Dragons Gaze is a secret technique only available to the Royal Family. The Dragon Emperor suddenly asked him.

Oh, I learned it from the Great One. And it was probably around a month ago when I learned it, he said.

The Great One?! The Dragon Emperor exclaimed.

One month?! Xi Meili was shocked for a different reason.

To think Yuan could comprehend the Dragons Gaze to such an extent in a mere month whilst it took her thousands of years to reach her current level! The disparity was too large!

Can you tell me more about it? How did you learn it from the Great One? The Dragon Emperor continued to ask.

Yuan nodded and explained to him how he learned it from the Tablet of Comprehension, where he met the illusion of the Great One.

I understand it, but I cannot believe it... The Great One is teaching the secret technique to random people? Just what is he thinking? The Dragon Emperor could feel a headache coming.

It would be a disaster if their secret technique was revealed to the public, but luckily for them, according to Yuan, only two people have learned the Dragons Gaze, and he was one of them.

Is it really that bad if an outsider learns the technique? Yuan couldnt help but ask them.

The Dragon Emperor nodded and said, Since ancient times, only the Royal Family can use the Dragons Gaze, and its already well-established that whoever learns the Dragons Gaze is royalty in the Dragon Race. If someone who isnt part of the Royal Family learns this technique, itll create massive confusion and chaos amongst us the dragons.

There are multiple Royal Families out there, and were just one of many. Although we dont really care that much about an outsider learning the technique since were in this isolated world, the other Royal Families in the upper heavens may not react so kindly to an outsider learning their technique, something they are extremely proud of.

Xi Meili added, They consider the technique as sacred as their bloodline, as both of them were given to them by the Dragon Ancestor.

In other words, you shouldnt use your Dragons Gaze so lightly especially in front of other dragons.

I see... I didnt know about this since the Great One never told me about it when I learned the technique... Yuan said.

Anyways, theres nothing we can do about it now that youve learned the technique. Just make sure youre not around dragons when you use that technique, as it will definitely cause misunderstandings. The Dragon Emperor said to him.

I understand. Yuan nodded.

Of course, if you marry someone from the Royal Family, youll be considered royalty, allowing you to use the technique as much as you wish. Xi Meili suddenly said, clearly suggesting something here.

Of course, Yuan was too innocent to pick up the hint and said, Marriage? As in husband and wife? But I dont think its right to marry someone just to use a technique.

Xi Meili smiled after hearing his words, I think so too.
