Chapter 89 Let the brilliance burn!
Spiritual pressure is the density of spiritual energy within a spirit; the higher the density, the stronger the power.
The so-called spiritual power is essentially composed of spiritual particles.
In other words, the more spiritual particles a Grim Reaper has, and the higher the density of those particles, the stronger he/she becomes.
Since arriving in Soul Society, Li Yuan has been constantly consuming food rich in spiritual particles and "digesting" and storing it in his body.
At the same time, the continuous practice and combat of "Slaying Fist and Walking Ghost" not only improved the proficiency of "techniques and skills", but more importantly, it also helped to cultivate spiritual power.
Li Yuan is now much stronger than he was when he first enrolled.
More importantly, through constant practice of blade meditation, he has finally transformed the original standard Asauchi into a Zanpakuto that is uniquely his own!
The knife on his knee at this moment had undergone a significant change compared to the original shallow-handled knife, in terms of the color of the hilt, the shape of the guard, the length and curvature of the blade, and so on, making it more suitable for Li Yuan's knife skills.
Suddenly leaping off the bed and drawing his long sword, Li Yuan, his face beaming with excitement, shouted in a low voice, "Burning gloriously, Amaterasu!"
The next moment, his Zanpakuto was suddenly enveloped in a bright golden flame.
He casually swung his sword a few times, and streaks of light transformed into various shapes as they slashed through the dormitory room before flying back into the blade and disappearing without damaging or igniting anything in the room.
"Not bad." Li Yuan smiled with satisfaction, released his Shikai, and sheathed his sword.
And the spiritual pressure that had been rising like flames on his body calmed down once again.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed again, Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes: "This level should be about right—"
Dragon Raja world.
Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them, like two thunderbolts piercing the darkness and illuminating the pitch-black river.
-

He is currently in the waters of the Qutang Gorge in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Although there are virtually no surveillance cameras here, he still maintains the appearance of another person.
Therefore, at the same time, an alter ego that looked exactly like him was openly operating in the Western Hemisphere!
Kassel College.
It was midday, the sun was shining brightly, and warm sunlight streamed in through the window, making everyone feel cozy and comfortable.
Li Yuan opened his eyes, silently thinking to himself, "It should be... about time, right?"
Sure enough, just as the thought crossed his mind, a deafening bell suddenly rang out across the campus.
At the same time, red lights flashed on the ceiling of the student dormitory corridor, and loudspeakers hidden in the walls began to emit a continuous, piercing buzzing sound.
Li Yuan stuffed the student ID card on the table into his pocket, opened the door to dormitory room 404, and walked out.
At that moment, students in school uniforms emerged from the other rooms one after another, their expressions serious, and quickly gathered towards the elevator.
Li Yuan was not surprised at all, and blended into the crowd of men and women like a drop of water merging into the ocean.
Meanwhile, in a room on the second floor of the same dormitory building, Lu Mingfei stood there stunned for a long time before suddenly shivering violently and pinching his own face.
After confirming that he wasn't dreaming, he winced in pain, flung open the door, and rushed out.
The buzzing outside the door was incredibly piercing, as if some mysterious thief had triggered the alarms of banks all over the world at the same moment.
"That guy wasn't playing with the fire alarm by burning it with a lighter, was he?" Thinking of the little boy Lu Mingze he had just seen in what he was either a dream or a hallucination, Lu Mingfei suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What are you doing?" he shouted as he searched for the little boy, trying to stop his prank.
"You're still using a tank!" Suddenly, a voice cut in from not far away.
Watching the crowd gathering towards the elevator, and then seeing the red-haired figure walking out from within, Lu Mingfei was momentarily stunned: "Is this—a fire? Surely not! Do firefighters need to put on this expression as if their whole family has perished during an evacuation?"
"What fire alarm? Haven't you read the 'Emergency Handbook' issued by the school?" Chen Motong's face was full of "What are you talking about?" expressions.
Looking at the red-haired senior who had guided him to the university, Lu Mingfei was completely bewildered, unable to understand what she was saying.
"From the moment it was founded, Kassel College has been prepared to deal with all kinds of emergencies related to dragons. This alarm means an emergency and summons high-ranking students to the library."
In the dormitory, Lu Mingfei's good roommate, Fingel, an eighth-grader, poked his messy head out from his bed.
Lu Mingfei turned to look at the dormitory: "You, a loser of F-rank, have actually memorized the 'Emergency State Manual' quite well! By the way, what is that thing even for? It shouldn't concern me, right?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the dormitory: "The 3E exam results haven't been released yet. I'm not officially a student here yet, so I don't need to worry about it, right?"
Fingel coughed a few times, as if his throat was very dry: "When I was still an A-level, if I didn't show up for roll call during an emergency, I would have my internship points deducted."
"Also, I wanted to ask you to bring me a bottle of Coke when you come back?"
Lu Mingfei muttered with a look of complete rejection, "I don't even have any internship points, why would I deduct them—"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Motong grabbed his arm and dragged him outside: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
"Hey hey hey—" Lu Mingfei was like a scarecrow, powerless to resist, and was forcibly taken away, staggering along.
"Don't forget the Coke!" Fingel shouted as he got out of bed and went to the dormitory door, then closed the door behind him.
On campus, a group of people rushed into the library and headed straight for the main control room.
Li Yuan followed Caesar, the student council president who paid him and provided him with meals, with the other student council officers beside him, and they all sat down together.
Meanwhile, the elites of the Lionheart Society, led by Chu Zihang, who is now the president of the Lionheart Society, also came to the control room and sat on the other side opposite the student council seats.
Then, two more boys and girls in school uniforms ran in.
Chen Motong, with her long, wine-red hair, had a serious expression, and the four-leaf clover pendant under her ear swayed with her movements.
The handsome young man beside him, who seemed rather reserved, had eyes that kept darting around as if hiding a lion.
One look was enough to confirm it: this was indeed the real Lu Mingfei.
That kind of cowardly and lonely demeanor, yet capable of unleashing a ferocious roar at any moment, is unmistakable.
Turning his gaze away, Li Yuan, like the others, awaited instructions with a serious expression.
In the control room at this moment, in addition to the students wearing dark green school uniforms, there were almost twice as many professors.
"There are 14 students in total, 13 of whom are at Grade A and 1 at Grade S. The faculty consists of 27 people. All of them have assembled." After counting the number of people, Manstein reported to Executive Director Schneider.
Schneider was a middle-aged man with an extremely cold and sinister demeanor, wearing an executive trench coat and a black mask that covered half of his face, which was covered with hideous scars.
He was wearing an oxygen mask and breathing in gas supplied from cylinders carried in a small cart beside him.
"Everyone, we need your help, right now." After scanning the crowd, Schneider spoke in a low and quick voice.
"At this very moment, two agents from the Executive Department are trapped in a dragon ruin. The traps there have been triggered, and all the original passages have been sealed off."
"Their oxygen is decreasing every second; we must find a way out for them as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this urgent situation, almost everyone present showed a slightly serious expression and began to think of solutions.
Only Lu Mingfei, with the typical clear-eyed look of a college student, glanced around and then, with his astonishing wisdom, subconsciously came up with a solution: "To find directions—we can use Google Earth, right?"
Only after he said it did he realize how stupid he had been.
At that moment, everyone in the control room focused their attention on him, their faces showing expressions as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"Google doesn't provide services in that area." Schneider glanced at him indifferently, then clapped his hands lightly, and the teak bookshelves behind him immediately slid to the sides, revealing a giant screen that was at least a hundred inches in size.
The screen lit up, displaying a huge 3D simulation image with rulers marked at the corners.
Almost everyone present gasped in shock, because what was displayed on the screen was a small city entirely cast in bronze, with a structure so complex it was dazzling!
Schneider quickly explained, "This is the palace of Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, a true ancient ruin. Some of you are descended from him."
"This photo shows the dragon-inscribed data taken by Executive Department Specialist Jiu Deya. It is speculated that this should be the inscription related to this bronze city."
He looked around at everyone present again: "Now, please concentrate all your attention on reading it."
"You want one of us to resonate with it and gain insight?" Caesar understood Schneider's intention.
"That's right. Originally, it might have taken us ten or even decades to decipher the contents bit by bit, but now we don't have that time! Their oxygen supply won't even last 20 minutes, so please hurry!" Schneider nodded.
"Shude Aki?" Upon hearing this familiar Japanese name, Lu Mingfei immediately recalled the Japanese girl who looked like a high school girl next door that he had met during his entrance interview at the Regent Hotel.
He still remembered the girl's gentle and healing smile, but now—she was in danger?
"Approved — Approved —"
As everyone present deftly pulled out their magnetic cards and swiped them in the card slots, Norma's voice echoed throughout the control room.
At the same time, countless photos flashed on the big screen, and after being enlarged, rotated, spliced and other processes, they were transformed into a giant cyan dome.
Li Yuan stared intently at the computer screen in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had begun to think intensely.
But in reality, he was just quietly waiting for someone to make a move.
At Chen Motong's prompting, Lu Mingfei hurriedly pulled out his magnetic card from the pocket behind his back and swiped it through the card slot in front of him.
The table in front of me suddenly flipped open, revealing a tablet computer. The screen lit up instantly, displaying a tutorial page.
A 3D girl dressed in a long white gauze dress that looked like pajamas appeared, her long hair flowing, and she bowed slightly to Lu Mingfei.
"Lu Mingfei, an S-class freshman, it's a pleasure to serve you. Please configure your personal system." The girl's voice came through the earpiece.
Lu Mingfei immediately perked up: "You're Norma? I thought you were actually a middle-aged woman."
The girl smiled without changing her expression: "I am EVA. According to the records, you did not take any computer courses, so I will configure it for you according to the usual procedure."
"No problem!" Lu Mingfei agreed without hesitation.
The beautiful girl is right no matter what she says or does, but unless EVA can configure the system to use the StarCraft interface, he probably still won't know how to use it.
However, as if it could guess what he was thinking, the window flashed rapidly, and then the StarCraft interface actually appeared on the screen!
"You should be familiar with this interface, right? All operations can be completed by clicking directly, and you'll get the hang of it quickly," EVA's voice rang out again.
Li Yuan stared intently at the screen, as if he were concentrating on sensing something.
At this moment, he was indeed concentrating, but not reading the dragon script.
He wanted to try and see if he could sense any unusual features in Lu Mingfei's body when he made a move.
After all, that "Lu Mingze" is quite mysterious.
Lu Mingfei stared at the pictures on the screen for a while, but apart from his eyes feeling a little dry, he didn't feel anything else.
Peeking at the others, I saw that the two most promising figures, Caesar, the student council president, and Chu Zihang, the president of the Lionheart Society, were both staring intently at the big screen, their faces terribly gloomy.
As for the other students, some bit their lips and frowned, some looked dazed and had blank stares, and some were as motionless as the seven fairies frozen in place by Sun Wukong.
The professors present lowered their voices and engaged in a heated debate.
In terms of lineage alone, they are inferior to the high-level students present, and it is virtually impossible for them to trigger "spiritual vision".
But all of them are polymaths who have studied dragon script for decades.
They came here to pool their knowledge, unleash all their wisdom and inspiration, and strive to create a miracle within these twenty minutes.
Seeing the others' eyes practically popping out of their sockets, Lu Mingfei sighed inwardly.
To be honest, he genuinely admired the people present, but trying to deduce an escape route from a painting in 20 minutes was indeed an impossible task.
Despite this, these elites refused to give up, as if they would persevere as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
But he is different. He is not the kind of person who can gain enlightenment just by hearing about dragon script or understand everything just by seeing it.
He would only feel that it was music, it was a picture, and he had no other feelings.
To be honest, if he could really help, he would be very willing to save Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya.
But the problem is—it's really too late!
Unless you're cheating —
Cheating?
He's cheating!
A flash of lightning seemed to strike Lu Mingfei's mind, illuminating the boundless darkness.
Yeah, just use cheat codes!
Why look for a map? Just use a full map cheat, isn't that enough?
Blacksheepwall!
This is a secret manual given to him by the little boy, whether in a dream or a hallucination.
Blacksheep, a restless and wicked member of the flock of white sheep, is now stirring with malice.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's furtive, shifty-eyed, and furtive glances around, Li Yuan immediately heightened his senses once again.
It was obvious that he was about to use that "mysterious" power!
Sure enough, just as Lu Mingfei deliberately used "one-finger typing" to type out a few words one letter at a time on the keyboard, a sudden change occurred in the control room!
"As expected—I still can't sense anything—" Li Yuan sighed inwardly, but his face didn't show any disappointment.
This result was, in a sense, exactly what he had anticipated.
Rather, it would be rather strange if he could perceive Lu Mingze's actions right now.
Even knowing this, I still have to give it a try.
After all—what if?
At this moment, the computer screens in front of everyone went black, and then a huge 3D map appeared from top to bottom.
On the map, the massive bronze city was completely analyzed, with every component, every mechanism, and every road clearly visible.
At that moment, everyone in the control room except Lu Mingfei was stunned, unable to believe their eyes.
The next moment, they all turned their heads sharply to look at Lu Mingfei.
Because in the corner of this giant 3D map, the words "Lu Mingfei's interpretation results" are clearly marked. On the Kassel College side, it is a sunny noon, while on the Kuimen side, it is a stormy midnight.
Even a specially modified ship like the Moniach couldn't escape being tossed about like a leaf in the face of nature's raging waves, seemingly on the verge of capsizing at any moment.
But at this moment, no one on the ship cared about these trivial details.
A massive amount of information flooded into Ye Sheng's brain through the transmission of "Word Spirit Serpent". At this moment, he felt like a drowning person clinging tightly to a pillar in a flood, struggling to maintain his consciousness.
This information included a three-dimensional map, in which the enormous, completely transparent bronze city was fully revealed before him.
Enduring the immense pain that felt like it was tearing him apart, Ye Sheng forced himself to concentrate, trying to find a way out.
But the problem is—he can't do it!
The super mechanism, forged by the King of Bronze and Fire two thousand years ago, has come to life. The seemingly solid bronze wall keeps splitting and reassembling.
Millions of cubic meters of air escaped through the cracks with a piercing roar, and the surging river below immediately rushed in to fill the gaps left by the loss of air.
Throughout the city, countless roads were constantly breaking and then being reconnected.
The blocked roads and the open passages are constantly changing!
Ye Sheng was going crazy. After being overwhelmed by such a massive amount of information, the few remaining thoughts in his mind were racing, but he couldn't find a way to escape.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he roared in a hoarse voice, "The key!"
His voice was transmitted back to the Moniach by the "Word of Power Serpent." Professor Mans, the mission leader and captain, suddenly realized what was happening and immediately brought the baby, who never grew up, to the screen.
The baby miraculously opened its eyes, a faint golden light flowing in their depths.
He stretched out his chubby finger and slowly slid it down on the huge screen, his gaze sweeping over every corner of the map.
The light in the baby's eyes faded the next moment, and the baby returned to the state of an ordinary baby, bursting into tears.
Ye Sheng, inside the Bronze City, suddenly opened his eyes. On the ever-changing map in his mind, a clear red line that kept going downwards suddenly appeared.
The red line passed through the gaps between the walls, through the ever-changing passages, and even through the solid wall itself, finally breaking away from the Bronze City from directly below!
"That's the exit!" Ye Sheng understood instantly!
He grabbed Aki, who was right behind him, and with all his might, swam downwards.
Outside the Bronze City, Li Yuan looked down as if sensing something.
There, a young man and woman in diving suits were swimming upwards with all their might, using both their hands and feet.
Behind one of them was a brass jar that was as tall as a person.
The next moment, Li Yuan suddenly swooped down and pounced straight at the two of them.
However, his body at this moment seemed to have no physical form, but instead transformed into a stream of water that was no different from the surroundings, sweeping fiercely past Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji.
Instantly, everything went black and the two fainted, the brass jar falling into Li Yuan's hands.
Seemingly because the canister was no longer supporting them, the two suddenly rose faster, steadily and swiftly surging towards the surface of the river.
Li Yuan stroked the fine patterns on the surface of the brass jar with satisfaction, and then, as if he had expected it, looked at the ferocious beast with its mouth wide open and full of sharp teeth, which was about to bite him.
Its enormous body, measuring a full fifteen meters, flapped its wings and swung its long tail, hurtling towards him like a missile.
Li Yuan simply "stood" in place, neither dodging nor avoiding, but a golden light shone in his eyes.
Just as the ferocious dragon's fangs were about to touch his body, in a realm beyond the reach of ordinary people, Li Yuan slowly stood up and drew his long sword: "Burning gloriously, Amaterasu!"
A dazzling blade of light, visible only on a spiritual or soul level, seemingly compressed from golden flames, swept past in an instant.
The ferocious dragon, writhing its massive body, was cleaved in two from head to tail by the blade, utterly powerless to resist.
Before it could even let out a roar, its body, which had split into two pieces, was instantly reduced to nothingness by the intensely burning golden flames, leaving nothing behind!
