Duan Gujin chuckled dryly, then turned around without peeking at Miao Yu, realizing she's quite bold.
Suddenly, he became worried about his own safety.
"Hope she doesn't see my strong physique and assumes I'm a hunk."
Once in the pool, he turned around and closed his eyes.
Watching Duan Gujin immediately enter the state, Miao Yu internally lauded him.
"The destined partner chosen by the heavens is indeed extraordinary! His character is impeccable, truly a lovable good man!"
Miao Yu's pretty face blushed, she went to a corner of the small pool, sat down with her back to Duan Gujin, closed her eyes, and started the baptism ritual.
After a moment, white mist gradually enveloped them within the pool.
The Ancient Dragon Marrow's energy permeating the mist quickly entered Duan Gujin's body, making him feel as though he was floating in the clouds, his body light and buoyant.
He immediately recalled some records he had seen, recognizing this as the sensation given by Ancient Dragon Marrow.
The power that made him feel like flying was a unique energy of the ancient dragons, which completely relaxes the living creatures soaked in it, freeing them from tension.
Duan Gujin knew the real test was yet to come; he then felt every Martial Soul in the depths of his soul sea seemed ready to soar.
These Martial Souls were behaving this way because of the influence contained in the Ancient Dragon Marrow's energy.
Duan Gujin didn't choose to resist this floating force; he knew he was to passively receive the tempering of this power on his body and Divine Soul.
Time ticked by, and a day passed quickly.
The middle-aged man and the Great Elder outside grew somewhat impatient, but sensing that Duan Gujin and Miao Yu were still undergoing baptism, they refrained from speaking.
Duan Gujin couldn't remember how many times his body and Divine Soul felt this delightful soar through the sky when suddenly, he heard a thunderclap above.
The sudden thunderclap jolted him awake, startling him thoroughly.
He knew that the emergence of that thunderclap signified a small advancement in his Cultivation.
He quickly inspected his inner being with Divine Sense, discovering indeed that his Cultivation had advanced a small realm; he was now at the Second Level of Martial Emperor.
"Indeed, the ancients do not deceive me!"
Duan Gujin mused and strived to calm down once again, allowing the Ancient Dragon Marrow to continue the baptism on his body and Divine Soul.
This time, he felt just like before, his body light as if to fly to the clouds.
Meanwhile, the Martial Soul in the depth of his soul sea continued to surge from the bottom and then sink down again.
Up and down, it repeated the previous movements.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued his Cultivation.
At the same time, Miao Yu behind him released a strange, flickering light, totally different from the light emanating from Duan Gujin.
Duan Gujin released a faint golden light, while Miao Yu radiated a flickering light, bright one moment and dark the next, unpredictable in what color would appear next.
During their seclusion, neither Duan Gujin nor Miao Yu sensed the terrifying power they radiated while Leveling, but the middle-aged man and the Great Elder outside could clearly feel it.
The most miraculous thing about Ancient Dragon Marrow was that it absorbed all the auras from the living creatures within it.
Thus, Duan Gujin and Miao Yu immersed in the Ancient Dragon Marrow could not sense the terror of their own released auras, but the middle-aged man and the Great Elder could personally experience it.
"Good heavens! I didn't expect that this Human Warrior, just advancing to the Second Level of Martial Emperor, would emit such a terrifying aura. Zhan Luan, the aura he released is much stronger than yours back in the day!"
The Great Elder scrutinized the aura radiated by Duan Gujin and was astounded.
"Oh!"
Zhan Luan, Miao Yu's father, compared Duan Gujin with the formidable members of the Devil Clan he had faced after hearing the analysis from the Great Elder.
After a while, he drew a conclusion.
"The power that Duan Gujin contained at the First Level of Martial Emperor was excessively strong!"
"Yes, I am also extremely shocked!"
The Great Elder responded.
"It seems this true destined partner is truly extraordinary!"
Zhan Luan praised.
The Great Elder asked with curiosity, "Zhan Luan, are you truly willing to let Miao Yu be with that Human?"
"If that Human can really help Miao Yu through this crisis, I will grant them my blessing! The young man's strength is so formidable, he would not disgrace Miao Yu!"
