Even from six or seven kilometers away, the battle between Tang Xiang and Fu Junyu could vaguely be seen.
Although their faces weren't clear, it was obvious they were both women.
What shocked him the most was that these two women were actually going head-to-head with the Rock Giant Demon Bear—and won.
Even though his nickname was "Mighty Bear," he wouldn't dare fight such a high-level lord-class monster head-on.
It's not that he was weaker than the Rock Giant Demon Bear; he could kill one if he had to.
But his physical toughness couldn't compare to that of a monster.
"It's not two people, it's three. One hasn't made a move yet, and they're a very powerful psychic-type fighter," said a handsome and elegant man nearby with a serious expression.
The burly man, Li Kan—aka "Mighty Bear"—was stunned. He hadn't noticed the third person.
Then he said, "Is there someone like that in Jiangnan Base City? For even you, Brother Wang, the invincible War God, to say they're strong... They must be incredible. Brother Wang, should we go introduce ourselves?"
The handsome man called Brother Wang looked tempted.
Whether it was the two physically powerful women or the high-tier psychic war god, all were worth getting to know.
Overwhelming physical strength!
You hit them and they get a scratch; they hit you and you're half-dead.
How do you fight that?
They can bulldoze through anything while you can't afford a single mistake—completely unfair.
And then there's that psychic war god, invincible at the same level, with great potential to break through to planetary-level.
Making friends like that means opening up future paths.
But soon, he shook his head.
"Forget it. If we go now, it might cause misunderstandings," Wang Tong said.
They just killed a powerful beast and used up all their energy.
Showing up now could easily be mistaken as trying to snatch the victory away.
Instead of making friends, they might make enemies—it's not worth it.
"Li Kan, let's go check if the Iron-armored Dragon has given birth. If it has, and it's weak, let's kill it."
That beast might be the next one to break through to King-level. If not now, then when?
Boom!
As Wang Tong spoke, he leapt a hundred meters away in an instant. Only then did the thunderous sonic boom reach the ears.
Though he was an invincible War God, the Iron-armored Dragon was also no slouch—almost unmatched among beasts of the same level.
Boom!
Li Kan followed suit, leaping after Wang Tong.
As they left, several other gazes in the area also withdrew.
Clearly, they shared Wang Tong's thoughts—and they had all taken note of the special trio named Yeyu.
In the center of the battlefield.
With those people gone, Yeyu finally relaxed.
Though they held no hostility, one or two of them had the strength to pose a real threat to him.
Then he began harvesting the spoils of war—especially the heart of the Rock Giant Demon Bear.

Meanwhile, while Yeyu's group was training in City No. 003...
Kyoto Base City, Security Division.
Tang Qin had her long hair tied up high, a red cinnabar dot between her brows, and wore a form-fitting black and red training outfit that highlighted her curvy figure.
She was barefoot, her feet smooth like jade, with ten perfectly rounded toes like painted pearls.
Her toenails were painted red, making her already beautiful feet even more seductive.
At the moment, she was sitting cross-legged in a training room.
In front of her were five vials of processed dragon blood.
Each vial cost 160 billion, and these five had nearly emptied her entire fortune.
"Xiaoyu, I'm counting on this. If I can't break through, I'll be completely broke," she muttered.
Then, without hesitation, she opened the vials and drank them all in one go, eyes closed.
Though Yeyu had told her that, with her current strength, three vials should be enough for a breakthrough...
She still chose to drink all five.
The processed dragon blood was very gentle, not violent at all, so drinking all five wouldn't cause harm.
As the dragon blood entered her system, a wave of gentle energy spread through her body.
Warm currents burst from her stomach and coursed through her blood vessels, transforming her body.
Tang Qin began circulating the secret technique Yeyu had given her along with a neutralizing agent.
The technique was incredibly powerful—unbelievably so.
Far beyond the guiding techniques she had learned before.
Even compared to the guiding methods in Apocalypse and Ninefold Thunder Blade, this was in a league of its own.
This technique was from the Yin chapter of Dragon-Phoenix Resonance.
Once Yeyu had bonded with someone, he could transmit the technique directly via thought.
The requirement for bonding was a sufficient affection level.
A few days ago, Yeyu had succeeded in bonding with both Tang Qin and Jiang Fang.
But because of the distance and his limited strength, he couldn't send the technique telepathically.
So he handed it over in writing—the full technique had hundreds of thousands of words.
Without being bonded by Yeyu, even reading it would be meaningless. Most people couldn't even memorize that much.
But once bonded, a single reading would make the entire technique clear.
Of course, someone with freakish comprehension or extremely high cultivation could also understand it.
But on Earth right now, there probably wasn't anyone who fit that description.
As Tang Qin activated the technique—
Boom!
The rate at which she refined the dragon blood increased dozens of times, and a torrent of universal source energy flooded into her.
She was almost frightened by the sudden influx, her face changing drastically.
"Even without the dragon blood, just this technique alone could push me to break through," Tang Qin thought.
The speed at which this technique absorbed cosmic energy shocked her.
Normally, absorbing it was like drawing drops slowly.
But this was like opening a faucet.
"I wonder where Xiaoyu got this technique from," she murmured.
She had originally planned to spend days breaking through, but now, it might take only a few hours—or even minutes.
Then she realized something: this was a dual-cultivation technique.
If two people practiced together, the speed would increase severalfold.
One day of dual practice could equal months of hard training for others.
One year could equal decades or centuries of cultivation.
Even training alone, one year could surpass decades of others' effort.
And most importantly—it was bottleneck-free. Completely bypassing limits.
It was heaven-defying.
"Ugh! That little brat. I knew he had bad intentions. As expected..."
Tang Qin's face turned red, her beautiful features becoming even more alluring.
Using something like this to test leadership—who could resist a test like that?
As she circulated the technique, she felt her cells jumping for joy, rapidly transforming.
Endless source energy—from the refined dragon blood, her muscle cells, and the cosmic void—all converged toward her dantian under the influence of the technique.
