The plane consciousness of the Douluo Plane pressed down like a curtain hanging from the sky, and ripples stirred in the space above the training ground.
"This is... what's going on?" Mu Ye expressed that he had never seen such a scene before.
He had no idea what that thing was.
Mu Ye only felt the Soul Power within his body suddenly become restless.
His spirit rings emerged automatically, spinning rapidly beneath his feet beyond his control.
At the same time, he felt a faint sense of stagnation, as if being suppressed by the celestial curtain above to the point where he couldn't move freely.
Arthur's consciousness also lightened, as if being stripped from his Physical Body by some kind of force.
The training ground before him and Mu Ye's anxious expression both faded in an instant.
In the next second, he fell into a boundless Void Realm. Beneath his feet was a river of light flowing with the trajectories of stars, and above his head was that celestial curtain covering heaven and earth.
At this moment, it transformed into a blurry giant, surrounded by special fluctuations originating from the same source as the Douluo Continent. Every breath seemed to pull at the pulsations of the plane.
"Arthur."
There was no sound, yet a will was directly imprinted into the depths of Arthur's Soul—gentle and heavy, like the earth bearing all things.
Arthur subconsciously tensed his body.
Then, a sudden change occurred.
The power of the Red Dragon surged out of his body, solidifying and becoming complete the moment it touched the giant.
The original Red Dragon was not a physical dragon, but a conceptual entity condensed from Britain's Spiritual Veins, faith, and destiny.
But Arthur was not in Britain; he was on the Douluo Continent. The power of the Red Dragon was like a castle in the air, without root or source.
Now, with the recognition of the plane consciousness, the Red Dragon bound itself to the Spiritual Veins of the Douluo Star.
The giant slowly raised its hand, and the power of the Douluo Spiritual Veins gushed from its palm, Binding onto the phantom of the Red Dragon like a spiderweb.
In an instant, Arthur felt a heavy sense of connection spreading from the depths of his Soul.
The power of the Red Dragon was no longer a wandering stranger; it had been accepted by the Douluo Star, thoroughly bound to the river of astral light flowing beneath his feet and the Spiritual Veins surging deep within the continent.
The originally ethereal crimson dragon scales became translucent and solid, and the dragon's pupils reflected the veins of the Douluo mountains and rivers.
The light threads of the Douluo Earth Veins intertwined on the dragon's body, forming a unique mark.
The imprint of the planar will sank clearly into his Soul, and the gentle voice seemed to become a bit more vivid.
"Henceforth, your Red Dragon shall use the Douluo Spiritual Veins as its Foundation and shall bear the responsibility of protecting this world."
Arthur could clearly perceive that the Red Dragon power within his body was undergoing a qualitative change.
The Red Dragon already represented 'Royal Sovereignty,' and now it had perfectly fused with the 'Vitality' and 'Bearing' power of the Douluo Spiritual Veins.
So Arthur was now... the new Plane Master!
Even though he was still very weak, he had already passively stepped onto this path.
Facing all of this that happened so suddenly, Arthur was a bit dazed.
It happened too fast.
He stared at the Red Dragon phantom circling around him, his mind in a mess.
"What just happened?"
One moment he was still pondering that the power in his body was indeed the Red Dragon, and the next moment he was bound by the Douluo Star, without even any room to refuse.
The actions of the plane consciousness were ridiculously fast—Binding the Spiritual Veins, bestowing authority, and imprinting the mission. The whole process was smooth and seamless, as if it were afraid he wouldn't agree.
"Grow up quickly."
The plane consciousness became a bit more relaxed, its emotions growing richer.
The original will of the Douluo Plane had no physical form and no selfish desires; it only maintained the Foundation of the plane.
Now that Arthur had received recognition, he ascended as the Plane Master with legitimate sovereignty.
From now on, the plane consciousness would change toward his ideology.
The giant gradually faded, and the river of astral light in the Void Realm began to flow backward. Arthur sensed an urgent emotion from it, as if there were something it needed to return to immediately.
The speed of the reverse flow grew faster and faster. The stream of light pulled Arthur's consciousness back, and the giant's silhouette gradually became transparent in the Void Realm, finally turning into specks of light that merged into the river of light.
The moment his consciousness returned, Mu Ye's shouts flooded into his ears.
Arthur snapped his eyes open and saw Mu Ye looking at him anxiously, his face full of worry: "Arthur! Are you okay?"
"Teacher... I..." Arthur lowered his eyes, his voice trembling.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Ye's heart rose to his throat, fearing that something had happened to Arthur.
"I feel like I'm super awesome right now..."
Instantly, Mu Ye's face turned dark.
It seemed he was fine.
He casually gave Arthur a slap, knocking him into the medicinal pool.
With a "plop," water splashed everywhere. Arthur choked on a few mouthfuls of medicinal liquid and abruptly poked his head out of the water.
Wet hair clung to his cheeks, and the depths of his eyes still held a bit of excitement from not yet having come to his senses: "Hey! What are you doing!"
Mu Ye stood by the pool with his arms crossed and rolled his eyes: "Look at that stupid look on your face. I thought you had Qi Deviation, but it turns out you're just getting cocky."
Even as he said this, the worry in his eyes gradually dissipated. His gaze fell on the Red Dragon phantom surrounding Arthur, and he couldn't help but be curious, "So what exactly happened just now? What's with this strange power on you? And what exactly was that thing just now?"
"I'm also dazed. I don't know what happened." Arthur wiped the medicinal juice off his face and waved his hand. The Red Dragon phantom turned into a stream of light and merged into his body, and the dragon-shaped mark on his forehead flashed and vanished.
He was indeed very confused because, in his memory of the Legend of the Dragon King era, wasn't the Plane Master Tang Hao?
How did it become him?
Since he had become the future Plane Master, where did Tang Hao go?
"But it should be a good thing."
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it.
Arthur felt the Soul Power within his body, which was so full it was almost overflowing.
With every breath, he was absorbing a massive amount of Soul Power. The Soul Power circulation within his body was continuous and endless.
The Core of the Red Dragon.
Clenching his fists, Arthur felt that he was terrifyingly strong right now. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and red air currents surged along his Meridians, causing a faint glow to rise on the surface of his skin.
He could clearly feel that every inch of his muscle was filled with explosive power. Things that previously required him to fully exert his Soul Power could now be easily accomplished with just his physical strength.
"You don't know?" Mu Ye pondered for a moment, looking at Arthur, whose aura had undergone a qualitative change. He suppressed his doubts deep in his heart.
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it for now.
"How do you feel now?" Mu Ye asked expectantly. The Arthur before him had undoubtedly fully activated that hidden power within his body.
"Ah... better than ever."
Arthur hopped a few times to stretch his muscles and bones. Every time he landed, the bluestone bricks beneath his feet vibrated slightly.
This was power leakage caused by the sudden surge in strength, which had decreased his ability to control himself.
He raised his hand and made a fist, then suddenly released it. Red air currents wound and flowed between his hands, carrying a scorching temperature.
He glanced down at his fists and, after thinking for a moment.
Arthur suddenly stood still, and the Soul Power within his body released frantically like a flood breaking through a dam.
The originally golden Soul Power was now mixed with a scorching crimson.
Red air currents and golden light erupted from his body, whipping up a strong current of air in the training ground.
Just the pure release of Soul Power caused the entire training ground to shake.
The glow around Arthur gradually became dense. Crimson and gilded gold intertwined like a raging fire, enveloping his entire being.
