Dai Chengfeng's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.
The lazy smile on his face remained unchanged as he looked at Yu Tianheng, his tone carrying a hint of testing:
"Guidance is too strong a word; let's just say we'll exchange pointers."
"However, fighting here might wake up your aunt."
He glanced back at the closed door, as if able to see through it to the person pretending to sleep inside.
"Let's move to a more spacious place."
Yu Tianheng naturally had no objections and quickly said, "As Uncle wishes."
Dai Chengfeng nodded, gestured for Yu Tianheng to wait patiently, then gently pushed open the door and walked in.
Inside the bedroom.
Liu Erlong still maintained her side-lying position facing inward, breathing evenly, seemingly sound asleep.
But with Dai Chengfeng's perception, how could he not detect her slightly tensed shoulder line and the slightly faster heartbeat than usual?
He chuckled inwardly but didn't expose her.
Walking to the bedside, he bent down, leaned close to Liu Erlong's ear, and whispered in a magnetic voice tinged with teasing, audible only to the two of them:
"Erlong, I know you're awake."
"Your beloved nephew has come to bid you farewell and... wants me to critique his newly created soul skill."
"I'll take you to watch the fun, how about that?"
Liu Erlong's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, her long lashes fluttering violently. It was clear she couldn't keep up the pretense any longer.
This scoundrel, he had indeed known all along that she was pretending to sleep!
And what did he mean by "taking her to watch the fun"? Clearly, he wanted to see her embarrassed expression!
Seeing her still putting up a front, Dai Chengfeng chuckled softly and continued, "If you don't get up soon, I'll have to let Tianheng come in and personally bid you farewell, Auntie."
"I'm sure he'd love to see what his beloved aunt looks like when she 'wakes up.'"
This remark hit the mark. Liu Erlong could no longer pretend, her beautiful eyes snapping open as she glared fiercely at Dai Chengfeng's handsome face just inches away, her eyes filled with anger and humiliation. She lowered her voice and angrily spat:
"Dai Chengfeng! You're shameless!"
"Shh—"
Dai Chengfeng extended his index finger, lightly pressing it against her slightly parted lips, feeling their soft warmth.
His eyes were playful, "Keep it down, Tianheng is still waiting outside."
"Do you want him to hear his aunt and uncle 'flirting' in the morning bedchamber?"
Liu Erlong was speechless, swatting his finger away, but she had to admit Dai Chengfeng was right.
In her current state—clothes disheveled, hair messy, traces of last night's passion still lingering—how could she possibly face Yu Tianheng?
She bit her lower lip, finally suppressing her anger, using her eyes to convey a threat of "you'll pay for this," then resignedly sat up quickly, grabbing some scattered clothes nearby and hurriedly dressing with her back to Dai Chengfeng.
Dai Chengfeng leisurely watched her shapely back, especially the suggestive red marks on her smooth back, which pleased him immensely.
He methodically adjusted his loose robe, fastening the sash and covering his muscular chest.
By the time Liu Erlong had dressed somewhat haphazardly—her hair still somewhat messy, her face still flushed—she was at least presentable.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to appear calm, turned around, glared at Dai Chengfeng once more, and then walked out of the room first.
Opening the door, she saw Yu Tianheng respectfully standing outside and forced a strained, elder-like "peaceful" smile onto her face.
"Tianheng, leaving so early?"
Seeing Liu Erlong emerge, Yu Tianheng respectfully responded, "Yes, Auntie. The academy is about to start, and I've come to bid you farewell."
"Mm, be careful on the way and train hard at the academy."
Liu Erlong tried to make her tone sound natural, but thinking about what Yu Tianheng might have guessed, she felt her cheeks burning, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Auntie." Yu Tianheng replied.
At this moment, Dai Chengfeng also came out, naturally standing beside Liu Erlong, his arm casually draping over her slender waist.
Liu Erlong's body stiffened, instinctively trying to break free, but Dai Chengfeng's arm, though appearing casual, contained an irresistible force.
Moreover, Yu Tianheng was right in front of her; if she reacted excessively, it would only make her seem guilty. She had no choice but to endure, secretly digging her nails into Dai Chengfeng's arm.
Dai Chengfeng's expression didn't change as he said to Yu Tianheng, "Let's go to the training ground. Let your aunt see the power of your newly created soul skill."
The training ground of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family villa was vast, its floor paved with hard Qinggang stone, surrounded by protective soul power dampening materials.
It could withstand the aftermath of battles below the Soul Emperor level.
The training ground was empty and quiet in the morning, perfectly suitable for sparring.
The three arrived at the center and stood firm.
Liu Erlong deliberately stood a few steps away from Dai Chengfeng, arms crossed, feigning an indifferent observer stance, but her slightly flickering gaze betrayed her inner turmoil.
Dai Chengfeng stood leisurely in the field, beckoning to Yu Tianheng, "Tianheng, come on."
"Use your strongest power, including your self-created soul skill and... your family's dragon transformation secret technique. Show me your progress during this period."
Yu Tianheng's expression turned solemn, nodding heavily, "Yes, Uncle! Please guide me!"
He knew well that Dai Chengfeng's strength was unfathomable, and he must give his all to receive valuable guidance.
"Roar!"
A low dragon roar burst from Yu Tianheng's throat, intense blue lightning instantly erupting from his body.
His muscles bulged, expanding his shirt to reveal clear contours.
The most significant change was in his right arm; his sleeve shattered instantly, and the entire arm was covered with fine blue dragon scales, his hand transforming into a ferocious dragon claw, fingertips crackling with electricity, exuding a heart-stopping violent aura.
Four best ratio soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—rose from his feet, encircling his body, showcasing his powerful cultivation as a four-ringed Soul Ancestor.
"Auntie, please be careful!"
Yu Tianheng warned, his first soul ring shining brightly. His figure transformed into a streak of blue lightning, moving at an astonishing speed. The transformed dragon claw on his right arm tore through the air with a sharp whistle, aiming straight for Dai Chengfeng's face.
It was his first soul skill—the Thunder Dragon Claw!
Facing this fierce attack, Dai Chengfeng neither dodged nor avoided, not even using his soul power.
He merely shifted his body slightly, and at the instant the dragon claw was about to strike, his right hand casually reached out, index and middle fingers together, precisely touching the inside of Yu Tianheng's transformed wrist.
This touch, in terms of timing, angle, and force, was perfect...
Exactly at the point where Yu Tianheng's previous force had dissipated, and new force hadn't yet generated.
Yu Tianheng felt a numbness in his wrist, a peculiar oscillating force transmitted, causing the flow of soul power in his entire arm to pause momentarily.
The violent Thunder Dragon Claw involuntarily veered to one side, grazing past Dai Chengfeng's clothing, futilely shattering the air.
