Chapter 437: Transferring Power, Han Yue Breaks Through to Dou Emperor!

  "Master just arrived, so how could he know what happened earlier? It must be because of the Sky Wolf King… and now, Master wants me to decide these people's fate!"

  Hearing Gu He’s words, Han Yue hesitated. She uood that her decision would determihe life or death of everyone present, including Elder Liu, a powerful Dou Aor.

  At that moment, Elder Liu suddenly bowed respectfully to Gu He and expined, “Senior, the Three Thousand Lightning Movement is a secret teique of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion. I wa your disciple back to Thunder Mountain only to inquire about the source of her cultivation in this teique. I had no iion of harming her…”

  Ssh!

  Before Elder Liu could finish his sentence, Gu He waved his hand, and an invisible force severed Elder Liu’s left arm. Blood spurted from the exposed white bone, painting the ground crimson.

  Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, Elder Liu groaned but refrained from screaming. He quickly circuted his Dou Qi to stop the bleeding.

  “If it weren’t for the fact that you didn’t harm Han Yue, do you think you would still be alive and speaking now?”

  “Wind and Thunder Pavilion is so inpetent that it lost its Dou Teique. Upon seeing someone else practig the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, you seek to take them away. By that logic, should I also be dragged to Thunder Mountain for interrogation because I’ve cultivated the teique?” Gu He’s cold voice resonated in the air.

  “Junior wouldn’t dare!” Elder Liu, despite the agony of his severed arm, shook his head frantically. “It is an honor for Wind and Thunder Pavilion if a senior of your caliber cultivate the Three Thousand Lightning Movement.”

  “Heh, a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak, yet you cim to uphold your sect’s so-called dignity!” Gu He shen shifted his gaze to Han Yue. His tone softened as he asked, “Han Yue, have you decided? How do you wish to deal with these people?”

  As Gu He posed the question, all the disciples of Wind and Thunder Pavilio held their breath, their eyes filled with hope as they looked at Han Yue, silently pleading for their lives. Yet, with Elder Liu’s fate as a warning, no one dared to speak a word.

  “Master, the remaining individuals only tried to stop Zi, and they didn’t harm it. Let’s spare them this time,” Han Yue said after careful sideration.

  “Since you’ve requested it, I’ll let them go this time,” Gu He nodded in agreement.

  “Phew—”

  With those words, the remaining disciples of Wind and Thunder Pavilion finally exhaled in relief.

  “Leave now!” Gu He shouted.

  Without hesitation, the group trembled as they rose to their feet and fled the se as quickly as possible. Even Elder Liu bowed gratefully to Gu He, picked up his severed arm, a with the others.

  As Hached the Wind and Thunder Pavilion members leave, she turo Gu He, her heart brimming with gratitude. “Master, it’s a good thing you arrived in time. Otherwise, Zi might have…”

  “Your Void Jade Talisman had been used up earlier. I enlisted the Sky Wolf King as my scout; otherwise, with my pace of travel, I wouldn’t have been able to arrive here today,” Gu He expined.

  “So my guess was correct—it was the Sky Wolf King whht you here!” Han Yue excimed.

  In the silehat followed, Han Yue suddenly felt a surge of energy flowing intu He pced his hand on her back, his expression serious.

  “Han Yue, you’ve reached the critical moment of breaking through to Dou Huang. I will help guide you through this final step,” Gu He said, his tone calm but firm.

  Feeling the warm flow of Dou Qi entering her body, Han Yue nodded, her heart filled with determination.

  “Thank you, Master. I will not fail!”

  As Gu He’s Dou Qi merged with hers, Han Yue’s aura grew stronger, and the surrounding air began to tremble. Moments ter, a dazzling light enveloped her, marking her successful breakthrough.

  “gratutions, Han Yue, you’ve ehe Dou Huang realm,” Gu He said with a smile.

  “Thank you, Master!” Han Yue k befu He, her face filled with gratitude and reverence. “I will not let you down!”

  Han Yue murmured softly, then turoward the nearby Sky Wolf King and said, "Sky Wolf King, thank you this time!"

  Though the Sky Wolf King had been impnted with a puppet seed, it still retais ability to think. Hearing Han Yue's gratitude, it smiled and waved its paw. "Miss Han Yue, you’re too kind. This is my duty as your subordinate!"

  "Master, didn’t y Martial Aunt with you on this journey across the ti? Where is she?" Han Yue suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

  "Your Martial Aunt is still behind. She’ll need a few more hours to arrive. I learned about the situation here and traveled ahead through the void to get here first," Gu He replied to her inquiry.

  Hearing this, Han Yue recalled how Gu He had appeared in a fsh of lightning and his use of the Void Jade Talisman. She realized there was far more to her master than she had ever imagined.

  Back at Jia Nan Academy, she had thought Gu He was a reclusive seventh-tier alchemist, kind to his disciples but with a cultivation level no higher than Dou Emperor. However, after experieng the power transfer, she suspected that Gu He was at least a Dou Aor.

  Now, having seen him easily elimih the Sky Wolf King and Elder Liu, both Dou Aors, and dispatch ordinary Dou Emperors with nothing but a gnce, her uanding of his abilities was refreshed once again.

  "To achieve such feats… Master’s strength must be at a level that’s unparalleled even among Dou Vees," Han Yue marveled inwardly.

  "Han Yue, your aura has improved signifitly pared to two months ago. It seems your hard work has paid off," Gu He remarked after examining her cultivation level.

  When Han Yue had left Jia Nan Academy, she was only at the six-star Dou King level. Ihan five months, she had stabilized her progress, advang two stars and now close to breaking through to ar Dou King. At this rate, even without Gu He’s power transfer, she could likely fulfill his first task of reag Dou Emperor within two years.

  "Thank you for the praise, Master!" Han Yue replied happily, her face lighting up with joy.

  "You mentioned you would be ready in two months to receive the power transfer. Are you prepared now?" Gu He asked gently.

  "Yes, Master, I am ready," Han Yue responded with determination, closing her eyes to calm her mind.

  The moment, Gu He’s haly rested on her smooth forehead.

  A massive surge of energy flowed from Gu He’s palm into Han Yue’s body.

  In an instant, a muffled sound echoed from within her as her cultivation broke through the barrier, reag the ar Dou King level.

  Thanks to her sistent efforts i months, Han Yue’s foundation was solid. After reag ar Dou King, her aura didn’t falter. Instead, her strength surged steadily to the peak of the ar Dou King level in a short time.

  Feeling her rapid assion, Han Yue was both exhirated and focused. The breakthrough to Dou Emperor was immi, and she trated her full attention on the process.

  Soon, a massive vortex of energy began to dense above her head.

  However, with Gu He’s immense energy supp her, Han Yue’s advao the Dou Emperor realm entered no obstacles. The energy vortex above her head dissipated almost as quickly as it had formed. A powerful aura, characteristic of a Dou Emperor, burst forth from her body.
