The Dragon Statue broke and the small child dragon came out from it.

"Jeez! It is you again? Why do you always ruin my sleep? Haaaixzz..." The child dragon said with a bored face and yawned.

Every time Feng Yexue stepped out the 20th formation. The Dragon Statue always came alive as if there was an alarm system that was programmed in the formation.

The child dragon always mocked Feng Yexue whenever he saw her stood before him, but he wasn't really annoyed or irritated by her stubbornness.

In fact... He was always amazed by the improvement of the woman. Every time they faced off, Feng Yexue's understanding of the laws were getting deeper.

Feng Yexue was really a natural borne genius, especially in the ways of controlling and understanding the laws.

Since she had always been battling against the Child Dragon, a stronger cultivator for months; of course, she would've improved rapidly.

She was gradually improving, despite the losses that she had received in their battles.

The child dragon was sent in this place to look for some talented geniuses, so the woman rapidly improving was a good sign for him, but it still wasn't enough for him; so he still hadn't passed her from the trial.

The two started their battle once again.

Thankfully... the open area beyond the 20th line had self-recovery effects, or else the damages of their previous battles could slowly ruin the whole open area; making it unsuitable for battling.

Since they only had 5th stage Xiantian Qi, they still couldn't use flight to battle.

Using their soul weapons to fly while battling was out of the question since it would greatly reduce their strengths.

So despite being at the Saint Realm, the two cultivators needed the land for them to battle at their peak.

Their battles were getting fiercer for every battle they had, but Feng Yexue was still always at the losing end.

Whenever Kyle watched the two experts fight, his understandings about the laws were greatly enhanced.

His improvements were alarming, yet he still couldn't feel the slightest hint in awakening his Gura Gura no Mi.

"Is there really no way? Should I also need to wait to be at the Late-stage Xiantian to awaken my devil fruit?" Kyle wondered himself.

He had been learning a lot while watching the two of them battling it out, but applying what he saw to the spaces around him were a different matter.

He could only successfully made the ground beside him quake, but that was due to the effects of his devil fruit.

He could break and create cracks on the air, but making the air or space around him quake was a different manner.

He pondered for a few minutes until a thought had entered his mind.

"Wait for a second... Making the earth around me quake and tremble were easy because I could have a solid imagination due to the land or ground, making me able to incorporate my Gura Gura no mi easier. What if I could also Imagine something in the air or spaces around me?" Kyle thought.

True... There wasn't anything you could see on the air aside from the wind that flowed through it, but Kyle knew this was false.

There might not be anything you could see with your eyes in the air around you, but he knew that the air was filled with atoms everywhere in the world.

"What If I try to feel those Atoms and apply my Gura Gura no mi on them? I wonder what would happen?..." Kyle smiled with glee while wondering these thoughts.

He was now having a hard time to control his self from trying to experiment with his newly discovered idea.

He wasn't sure if the same science would still apply in this new world since... Well, it was a new world, but there was no problem in trying isn't there?

But he decided to stop himself and focused on the battle before him. Trying to experiment while there was an important ongoing battle in front of him was a stupid idea.

A battle of two Saint Realm Cultivators was something that only happens on rare occasions, so missing it out was too huge of a waste.

So he decided to focus first on the battle and do his experiments later.

The two had been going at it for a few more hours already.

The child dragon never used the attack that one hit Feng Yexue in the past, yet he was still dominating the battle from the very start.

"Let's end this little girl! Oh and right... Since you have been recklessly challenging me without thinking of the consequence, I'll punish you for being so careless." The child dragon said while smirking towards Kyle.

When Kyle saw this smirk, he felt that something explicable was gonna happen.

Gushing blue energy then appeared at the Child Dragon's feet. It had a sharp and deadly sensation.

When Feng Yexue saw this new move, She knew something was going to happen since this was the first time the dragon had showed this skill; so she went all out and coated herself with lightning.

The Child Dragon didn't stop there and the energy on his feet continued to enlarge.

It now formed a complete azure dragon on his feet, making him look like he was standing on a dragon.

Kyle exclaimed when he saw this. He felt that the martial skill the Child Dragon was using was similar to his Dragon's Steps, but what happened next made him forget his thoughts.

The dragon on his feet suddenly roared. Its eyes look as if it has sentience and the aura it emitted was out of this world.

It made Kyle feel like he was seeing a god before him.

Azure Wings made of energy then started to sprout behind the child dragon, its wingspan was very wide and it made the Child Dragon looked domineering.

Kyle wondered what's the use of those wings since the child dragon could already fly with the use of the Azure Dragon(Eastern) on his feet.

But moments later... his wonderings got disrupted.

Kyle had thought that the Azure Dragon on the Child Dragon's feet had similar effects with his Dragon's Steps, but he was sadly mistaken.

The Azure Dragon suddenly vanished below the Child Dragon and flashed its way toward Feng Yexue.

Kyle had now realized why the wings were summoned.

The Azure Wings was just summoned, so the Child Dragon wouldn't fall after the Azure Dragon Skill attacked its way towards Feng Yexue.

Yes... The Child Dragon just summoned it to make himself look like a boss, while his Martial Skill battles Feng Yexue.

The Azure Dragon Skill was very fast and it arrived in front of Feng Yexue in the blink of an eye.

Feng Yexue wasn't someone ordinary after all, so she reacted fast and blocked the incoming blow; but due to the injuries that she had suffered while battling the Child Dragon, she wasn't faring well against it.

A few seconds after... She gave in and lost the match.

The Azure Dragon Skill slowly dispersed and vanished from the grounds.

When Kyle saw the scenes that happened, he got fired up.

The Martial Skill that the Child Dragon was so impressive. He thought "what a nice Martial Skill, he must've perfected it to the limits to have that kind of strength. It even felt like it was a real dragon."

Kyle was greatly impressed by the Child Dragon's prowess, but then a worried expression escaped his face.

The Child Dragon next actions scared him.

Usually, after a long battle; The Child Dragon returns to where it belonged and went back to being a statue.

Yet this time, the Child Dragon flickered and appeared beside Feng Yexue.

Kyle had become closer to Feng Yexue in this past few days that they spent together, so he doesn't want to let her die.

He was now enraged and at the same time worried since he felt that the Child Dragon was gonna finish her off for good.

"Stop!!" Kyle shouted before the Child Dragon could do the deed. Adrenaline got to him and then he dashed towards Feng Yexue despite the pressure he was feeling.

The pressure was still as strong as ever, so he could only cross up to the 18th line before he fell down due to the pressure.

Seeing the actions of Kyle amused the Child Dragon, but he didn't stop and started to slowly walked closer to Feng Yexue.

"I said STOP IT!!!" He got even angrier, but feeling that he couldn't move a step; he grit his teeth and prepared to punch the air.

*Crack*

He activated his powers and a crack appeared. What followed through was a strong shock wave.

But what happened next made Kyle felt dread.

The shockwave that was heading towards the Child Dragon was negated when it was just about to cross the 18th line.

The formation was really grand. His cheat couldn't bypass the strength of the formation.

Kyle felt despair when he saw his attack negated, but when the Child Dragon saw this; he stopped his tracks.

The Child Dragon was shaken by the attack even though it didn't get near to him. He then activated his soul sense and tried to inspect Kyle.

Of course, Kyle has no knowledge of this and was still glaring at the Child Dragon fiercely.

The Child Dragon did not bother with Kyle ever since he came on this floor since there were too many geniuses that had already come inside the ancient pagoda.

He felt that inspecting all of them manually was a nuisance, especially to those who couldn't even pass the 20th line.

So he had never used his soul sense on Kyle.

After the Child Dragon inspected Kyle with his soul sense, he felt his heart shook.

A teardrop escaped his eyes and then he turned around.

"I've finally found you," the Child Dragon thought and hurriedly wiped his tear away from his cute face.

A smile was then formed in his face and he turned towards Kyle.

"Stop? Why should I?" He told Kyle with an amused voice.

Kyle calmed a little bit after hearing him. "Stop or I'll end you" He spoke in a fierce manner.

Due to the anger, Kyle forgot his rationality and acted like an idiot.

The Child Dragon was clearly stronger than him by a lot, yet here he is now; threatening him like those idiots mc's who got caught up in a heated moment.

Kyle had only completely calmed down and realized what he just said after speaking those threatening words.

"Damn! What the hell am I thinking? Stupid! fck! It really is true when they say that Beauties are the downfall of men," he thought to himself after calming down.

"Woah, Scary... HAHAHA" the Child Dragon mocked and laughed when he heard him.

Then he emitted a strong aura that bypassed the formation and it fell on Kyle's body.

But Kyle wasn't fazed by this and stood his grounds.

Since the words had already left his mouth, he could now only stood by it and hardened himself.

He had made a few plans in his mind on how to survive this situation, but all those plans lead to his death.

This place was really a death trap. Not only is the pressure on the formations weakening him, but there was also a boss like a character inside of it.

But what happened next intrigued him.

The Child Dragon didn't continue to make a move and released his aura.

He then looked Kyle in the eye and said in a childish voice "Ok...I'll give you another chance, but punishment first.

The Child Dragon then appeared next to Feng Yexue and he took something out and fed it to her.

His speed was very fast, so Kyle couldn't react fast and did not see what he did.

The Child Dragon then said "Take Care... HAHAHAHAHA!!!" While laughing like a madman.

He then Vanished from his spot and left the whole area whit his laughs echoing in the whole floor.
