It seems that Li Rui has stumbled upon something, though he is unsure of his current location. His ability to see through things has been activated, and there appears to be some signs of life here, which is quite bizarre.
At this moment, Li Rui cannot help but walk down the path before him, suddenly noticing someone standing still and grinding something.
This person is incredibly young but gives off a somewhat elusive vibe, which frustrates Li Rui immensely.
"Dragon Gate candidate, you have arrived!" the latter exclaimed.
This unexpected statement startled Li Rui. It seems that no one in the Falling Petal Kingdom knows his identity; how could this person know it? Moreover, they seem to know him very well.
"Who are you? Why are you here, and how do you know my name?"
"Isn't it obvious? Knowing it is just the way it is. I have been guarding for a thousand years, all for you."
Li Rui awkwardly smiled. The idea that someone has been waiting for him for a thousand years is hard to believe, yet the reality unfolds right before his eyes.
Perhaps Li Rui does not fully understand what being a Dragon Gate candidate entails; all he knows is that it sounds impressive. However, what powers and influence this Dragon Gate candidate can wield remains somewhat unknown to him.
From what he learned from this person, being a Dragon Gate candidate is not something just anyone can take on; one must have a connection to "dragons" in their bloodline to qualify.
This left Li Rui feeling somewhat confused. It seems there might indeed be something related to dragons within him—Azure Dragon, perhaps?
"Dragon Gate" should refer to this place, or maybe it no longer exists.
"Do you know how many people there are who qualify as Dragon Gate candidates?" the guardian suddenly asked, a hint of a smile in their voice, leaving Li Rui wondering what they found amusing.
"Could there be hundreds of them? That would be quite awkward."
"You are wrong, there is only one person, and what we have is the Dragon Gate Candidate, not chosen by 'anyone', but destined! This identity of yours is already predetermined, and it occurs once every five hundred years."
This...
Li Rui was instantly confused, completely unaware of what he was talking about. The mention of "Reincarnation" was something he had never heard of before!
"I don't understand either."
Li Rui nodded repeatedly, indeed feeling this way. He was just as bewildered, with information going in one ear and out the other. The only thing he remembered was that this Dragon Gate Candidate seemed quite impressive.
In the eyes of the secular world, it was indeed so. Five hundred years ago, there had been a Dragon Gate Candidate, but then he mysteriously disappeared, along with this Guardian.
"He has been here before?"
"Yes! But at that time, his strength was a hundred times stronger than yours; it seemed to be at the Divine Transformation Realm level."
This...
Li Rui was stunned. To have reached the Divine Transformation Realm at such a young age? Wasn't that reversing the natural order? It truly was...
"So what are you trying to express?"
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just want to give you a mount. However, this thing can only be used in case of extreme necessity! And it can only be used three times."
Li Rui was once again left speechless. What kind of thing could only be used three times? This was strange; weren't mounts usually tamed by oneself?
"I don't need to waste my breath with you, and under this premise of 'Three Times', I must take a punch from him."
"If this thing turns out to be really powerful, won't I be crushed to pieces? No way, let's change the conditions."
"You have no choice."
As soon as the words fell, the Guardian abruptly disappeared from the spot. Everything happened so quickly that even Li Rui couldn't quite accept it.
Suddenly, a loud "rumbling" sound echoed through the air. Li Rui was still unaware that everything outside had changed; who knows what had happened in this Defalia?
The louder the commotion became, the stronger Mo Ruxi's worries surged within her. Her palms tightened, and little did she know that in an instant, her palm had already been pierced by her nails, drawing out bright red blood.
If Li Rui were to see this situation, her heart would ache with one worry after another.
"Who is it this time? Huh! Why is this little creature so weak?" A monster suddenly appeared; it was not just any monster but a purple dragon surrounded by golden lightning.
Even from a distance, Li Rui could sense the immense energy emitted by the lightning. He hoped not to get hit; just a touch would be incredibly painful. The latter felt a bit scared.
Little did they know that in an instant, the purple dragon appeared beside Li Rui, and their heights seemed to be about the same.
"Hey, let me take a punch from you!"
This...
Li Rui was stunned in place. What was going on? He never expected such a turn of events, especially being greeted with "Hey" and then immediately asked to take a punch.
The purple fist, charged with lightning, made Li Rui feel that he couldn't possibly catch it.
"Watch closely."
Suddenly, the entire fist surged directly into Li Rui's sea of consciousness. Everything happened too quickly; he thought it would hit his body.
Little did he know that the sea of consciousness was suddenly struck by electricity, and golden lightning crackled across the entire surface of the water! It jolted his head, a sensation that was indescribably intense.
This feeling seemed even more exhilarating than when he expanded his sea of consciousness; it had been a long time since he experienced something like this. Li Rui felt a reckless urge, as if this sensation could further expand his sea of consciousness. He didn't want to miss any opportunity for improvement.
As the golden lightning continued to strike, Purple Dragon felt somewhat displeased. Li Rui was the first to stand before him and enjoy this feeling so much.
"This Dragon Gate Candidate is too arrogant, daring to act like this in front of him. Even having nine lives wouldn't be enough," Guardian thought, shaking his head at the situation.
Purple Dragon disregarded everything and unleashed several layers of power with his next punch, directly sweeping through Li Rui's sea of consciousness.
In a daze, the pain lingered for a while, then that feeling of enjoyment spread once again.
