Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Evil Dragon is Me?! Bright Jade Divine Art
"Quick, summon the Martial God Douluo!"
In the chaos, the crowd rushed toward Zhou Yi's residence. On the island, if anyone could contend with "that evil dragon," it would only be Zhou Yi.
If even Zhou Yi couldn't handle it, there would be no hope.
They could only resign themselves to fate.
"Something's wrong! The Martial God Douluo is missing!"
Sea Dragon Douluo was the first to reach Zhou Yi's room, but there was no sign of Zhou Yi, causing his expression to change dramatically.
"I understand now! The Martial God Douluo must have gone to rescue the High Priestess!"
Sea Horse Douluo exclaimed in realization.
"That must be it!"
"With such a major event on Sea God Island, the Martial God Douluo couldn't possibly remain uninformed. If he isn't here, he must have gone to save the High Priestess!"
The crowd quickly echoed this sentiment, clinging to this belief as their sole lifeline.
As for the idea that Zhou Yi might be the evil dragon?
They never considered it.
After all, Zhou Yi's martial soul was a sword. Even if he activated his martial soul avatar, it wouldn't manifest as a dragon.
Moreover, if it were his martial soul avatar, they would have recognized it immediately.
They were certain that the evil dragon wasn't the avatar of any Soul Master.
What they didn't know was the existence of a technique called Dragon God Technique.
"Let me go! What are you trying to do?!"
High in the skies, Bo Saixi struggled fiercely but to no avail. The evil dragon was far too powerful, utterly suppressing her.
Facing this dragon, she felt as powerless as when Zhou Yi had struck with that sword earlier.
"Heh heh, little beauty, stop struggling. Don't worry, I won't harm you. On the contrary, I'll treat you very well!"
A lecherous voice echoed, and Bo Saixi's exquisite, flawless face turned pale. She hadn't expected to encounter such a lascivious beast.
"Vile creature! Stop your arrogance! Sea God Island is under the Sea God's protection, and we still have the Martial God here. Release me immediately, or you won't escape... Ah!"
Before she could finish, she suddenly felt herself plummeting. The evil dragon had abruptly let her go.
Bo Saixi was overjoyed and quickly stabilized her posture.
"Could it be that the evil dragon truly fears the Sea God?"
Just as the thought crossed her mind, she realized the massive dragon had vanished.
"Where did it go?"
Scanning her surroundings in confusion, she couldn't believe that such a large dragon had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Looking for me, my beauty?"
Just as Bo Saixi was about to return to Sea God Island, a pair of large hands suddenly wrapped around her slender waist from behind. A playful voice whispered in her ear, accompanied by the warm breath tickling her face.
"Die!"
She raised her hand to strike but froze mid-motion when she turned to see a familiar smirking face.
"It's you!"
Bo Saixi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Of course, it's me!"
Zhou Yi dispelled his disguise. Finally hearing his familiar voice and sensing his unmistakable aura, Bo Saixi confirmed his identity.
"You scoundrel! Was tormenting me fun for you?!"
Bo Saixi's small fists pounded against Zhou Yi's chest. For a moment, she had genuinely thought she'd been captured by the evil dragon to become its captive bride.
She had been so scared she'd almost wanted to die.
This was why Zhou Yi had stopped short of going too far, knowing exactly where to draw the line.
"Think of it as a surprise for you."
"More like a fright!"
Bo Saixi took a deep breath, her ample chest heaving. In just a few moments, her heart had gone through a rollercoaster of emotions.
"How did you turn into a dragon? Is this also some kind of martial technique?"
After her shock subsided, curiosity overtook her. Zhou Yi's transformation into a dragon was baffling to her.
If Zhou Yi had a beast-type dragon martial soul, it would be normal for him to manifest as a dragon in his avatar form. But his martial soul was a tool.
"Indeed, it's a martial technique."
Zhou Yi, holding Bo Saixi's soft waist, rested his head on her fragrant shoulder and inhaled the delicate scent of her hair. "Would you like to learn it? I can teach you."
"I would!"
After a moment's hesitation, Bo Saixi finally nodded. Zhou Yi's martial techniques were simply too miraculous to ignore, and her curiosity had been thoroughly piqued.
"Learning martial arts isn't easy. First, you'll need to familiarize yourself with meridians and acupoints..."
Still holding her, Zhou Yi descended slowly from the sky, eventually landing on a large reef by the sea.
As he laid her on his lap, he said solemnly, "Let me first teach you about the various acupoints..."
"What are your hands doing?"
"This is just to show you the precise locations. Otherwise, how will you remember which acupoint is where?"
"Are you sure you're not just taking advantage of me?"
"Of course not. Do you still want to learn?"
"Yes!"
Zhou Yi's "hands-on teaching" continued, much like Zhou Botong's infamous method of passing martial arts to Ying Gu—except it naturally ended with both learning and romance intertwined.
"You big scoundrel! I actually believed you... Mmhm..."
While Zhou Yi had more efficient methods of teaching martial arts—such as using the Heavenly Palace Mirage to directly impart knowledge—this was undoubtedly far more interesting.
For Zhou Yi, the teaching itself wasn't the point; adding a touch of playful intimacy was the true goal.
The martial art he intended to teach Bo Saixi wasn't the Dragon God Technique, which were too rigid and masculine, unsuitable for women. Instead, he planned to pass on the Bright Jade Divine Art.
This technique harnessed the essence of heaven and earth, drawing upon the sun and moon's brilliance—hence the name "Bright Jade."
Though not as versatile as the Nine Yin True Scripture, its potency surpassed it. As a pinnacle internal cultivation method, it promised longevity and unparalleled vitality. At its peak, practitioners' skin would become as translucent as jade, and their internal energy would self-replenish endlessly.
For Bo Saixi, the cold and aquatic nature of the Bright Jade Divine Art complemented her water-based attributes as the Sea God Douluo perfectly.
"When Bo Saixi masters this technique, I might finally have a worthy opponent," Zhou Yi mused as he guided her.
