Therefore, Ouyang Yue finally decided to follow in her sister's footsteps. No matter how many dangers lay ahead, it was now time to stake everything.

Hence, Ouyang Yue gritted her crescent-moon-like teeth, constantly encouraging herself, "I'm coming! Ouyang Yue, if my sister can do it, then so can I!"

If her sister, Ouyang Sheng, knew that Ouyang Yue was actually drawing inspiration from her experiences, she might have coughed up blood from sheer anger. You could have just faked it a little! I'm your older sister, for crying out loud! Couldn't you spare me a little kindness?

However, Ouyang Yue soon realized her earlier pep talk was completely redundant. Wang Zhan was right in front of her, and he was still the same Wang Zhan. But all the efforts she had previously made had already been undone by her sister. To continue, she would have to once again endure that nearly suffocating sensation.

But what did it matter now? Ouyang Yue wondered. Looking at the disheveled Wang Zhan before her, and her equally disheveled sister, she gritted her teeth. This was her choice, and she would see it through, even if it meant death! This was precisely the path of a Martial Artist: once a strong resolve formed, personal will would always take precedence, forging the Martial Artist onward.

So, here goes! Steeling herself against the unpleasant scent that made her nose wrinkle and all the traces left behind by her sister, Ouyang Yue once again resolutely lowered her head.

Time seemed to stretch on, as if years had passed in moments. However, when she finally managed to complete her task, the unexpected happened.

When Ouyang Yue truly went through with it, the pain was so intense her eyebrows knitted together, and her entire body tensed up. She immediately bit her lips hard.

"HMMMM!..."

Yet, this was merely the beginning.

Several minutes later, another scream pierced the night, startling countless sleepers from their dreams, as Ouyang Yue's voice echoed faintly, "AH!... It really, really hurts!..." Her cries were like mournful sobs, filled with both resentment and a strange longing.

It was nothing short of torture, and Ouyang Yue was the criminal being dragged to the execution ground. Fortunately, her sister, Ouyang Sheng, had temporarily escaped this predicament. Unfortunately, as the younger sister, Ouyang Yue, despite enjoying a certain degree of freedom and indulgence, ultimately had to take this step. The night air immediately began to ripple with an endless, palpable tension.

Moonlight streamed into the room, a silent, almost gleeful witness to their endeavors.

What Ouyang Yue didn't know was that as her frown deepened and the pain escalated, her efforts and endurance were not in vain. Because of her sacrifice, a response was instantly triggered within Wang Zhan's body, subsequently causing a new change within the System rooted inside him.

'Warning! Warning! Abnormal energy approaching again! … Warning error! Warning error! Commencing energy assimilation analysis! … Energy assimilation efficiency at 50%. Host is stabilizing…'

'Warning! Warning! Abnormal situation detected! … Commencing abnormality analysis! … Commencing interstitial energy convergence reaction! … Energy assimilation efficiency at 50%! … Energy convergence reaction at 100%! … The Domain is beginning to transform! … Essence Energy Seed appearing! …'

A series of hidden fluctuations rippled through Wang Zhan's body like a precisely tuned machine, then gradually subsided.

As Ouyang Sheng slowly regained her senses, Ouyang Yue's complexion grew increasingly flushed, yet also a sickly pale.

Finally, "OH..." A long, drawn-out sound of agony escaped Ouyang Yue's lips, lingering in the air. Then, her eyes rolled completely back, the preceding pain morphing into a wave of overwhelming pleasure. With a thud, she collapsed onto Wang Zhan, lying there, twitching slightly.

At that very moment, the exuberant azure mental energy that had been dancing wildly around Wang Zhan suddenly faltered! It was as if time had stopped, and the world had begun to freeze.

The next moment, a HUM sounded. All the mental energy hovering on Wang Zhan's surface began to connect in an ingenious sequence. Then, as if finding a focal point, it surged violently into Ouyang Yue's body.

"OH..." Another long groan, accompanied by a soft, airy nasal sound, echoed once more.

Although Ouyang Yue was dazed and had lost all consciousness, she could clearly feel that within her body, her long-stagnant mental energy had begun to vibrate again.

Immediately, with a RUMBLE, a ladder leading to a higher realm was constructed within her. With a soft POP, the shackles of her previous realm instantly dispersed like smoke. An exquisite, agile stream of mental energy suddenly emanated from Ouyang Yue's beautiful body with a gentle hum, ethereal and intoxicating.

A moment later, Ouyang Sheng, just shaking off her grogginess and having regained some of her awareness, cried out in astonishment. Looking at her sister, Ouyang Yue, before her, she mumbled in disbelief, "A Martial King?"

She actually became a Martial King? And broke through so easily, just like that?

One should know that such a realm, seemingly unattainable, was something they had spent countless years striving for, yet always without hope. They had never imagined that her younger sister would achieve such a simple and straightforward breakthrough through such a bizarre coincidence, as easily as eating a meal.

If I had known this was possible, I, Ouyang Sheng, wouldn't have continued hiding in the Federation with my brother, never daring to reveal our true backgrounds. It's simply inconceivable! So inconceivable that if word got out about Wang Zhan possessing such an ability, I fear countless women—and perhaps even men—would instantly be clamoring to get into his bed! After all, what is chastity compared to true, controllable strength? The sheer amount we sisters have sacrificed for the Martial King Realm alone demonstrates its importance. That realm seemed so close, yet from our Grandmaster Realm, it felt an eternity away! Especially since we're actually over thirty but still stuck at the level 9 Grandmaster rank. No progress at all! This is true despair!

Yes, the two sisters had reached the level 9 Grandmaster Realm very early on. However, this was only in terms of their mental energy; their actual cultivation realm lagged far behind. Moreover, because they had advanced too quickly in their youth, any deficiencies became enormous obstacles as they approached the Martial King Realm. That was why, for so many years, the two sisters had taken various measures to break through to the Martial King Realm, including residing in a Bar and seeking out mentors in the field of mental energy—actions that served as both concealment and diligent effort.

This was also why the elder sister had agreed to Ouyang Yue's audacious idea and decided they should combine their strength to save Wang Zhan. They weren't young anymore. Although a powerful figure currently offered them protection, if things continued this way, the Ouyang Family's bloodline would lose its qualification to continue—an undeniable certainty. Even if that powerful figure cared for them deeply, these were matters in which he could not help; it all depended on their own fortune.

But what truly troubled the elder sister wasn't just this. After all, if it came to that, they could simply find someone to marry. Yet, now her younger sister had become a Martial King—a true, incomparably powerful Martial King! A mix of loss and longing surged through Ouyang Sheng, making her heart flutter, unable to find peace.

What should I do? Push my sister aside and try again with Wang Zhan myself? But… but it really, really hurts! And there's no emotional foundation between us, just a single brief encounter. Besides, a complicated bond has already formed between Wang Zhan and my sister, Ouyang Yue. My involvement would inevitably cause turmoil. So… should I… should I really do this?

For Ouyang Sheng, the question had shifted from a passive one to an active one. If before she was passively saving someone, now it was about whether to actively offer herself. The crux of the issue was that if not for her sister Ouyang Yue's experience, she wouldn't be in such a dilemma. For Martial Artists like them who focused on mental energy, once their mental energy broke through to the Martial King Realm, advancing their Essence Energy to the Martial King Realm to form True Essence was merely a matter of time, a natural progression that would be easily achieved. Of course, it was precisely because of this that Ouyang Sheng yearned for it even more.

However, before Ouyang Sheng could ponder for long, another unexpected change occurred on the scene, causing her face to twitch slightly and a deep blush to spread across it.

On Wang Zhan's body, Ouyang Yue, who had seemingly calmed down, involuntarily tensed up again. As the faint yellow mental energy on her skin pulsed and then subsided, whimpering sounds escaped Ouyang Yue's lips. In her hazy state, she kept pleading with Wang Zhan, "Wang Zhan… Wang Zhan… Wang Zhan… OH!!…"

Ouyang Sheng felt a pang of heartache. With a SPLASH, sending water everywhere, she quickly lifted her sister off. It was then she realized that although Wang Zhan was still asleep, his body's instincts were still active, and growing stronger.

Therefore, upon seeing the still-potent Wang Zhan and the dense, ethereal azure mental energy around him slowly contracting, Ouyang Sheng finally made up her mind. This is a golden opportunity, one that won't come again! No matter what, I absolutely cannot let it slip by. Although doing this seems a bit unfair to my sister, I've already gone along with her madness this once. What difference does it make if I'm a little more proactive? At worst, I'll explain everything clearly to her later.

She knew that once her sister regained consciousness and discovered she had broken through to become a Martial King, she would likely become even more devoted to Wang Zhan, and her joy would know no bounds. However, Ouyang Sheng was also keenly aware that a genius youth like Wang Zhan was undoubtedly surrounded by countless women.
