Falling Dragon Roars
“Dragon Vine, can you help me out?” Mu Yu shook the sleeping dragon vine on his wrist.
The dragon vine blearily got off Mu Yu’s wrist and levitated. “With what?”
“All you do is sleep and sleep. You never help in fights. Next time Mu Yu gets into a fight, you are to come out and roar in their face, got it?” Xiaoshuai lazily criticised.
“Tell me what you do besides eat and eat and eat more,” the dragon vine ribbed.
“I treat Mu Yu’s injuries every time. You blind?”
The dragon vine curled his lips.
“One of my swordplay techniques is called Falling Dragon Roars. I assume you know what it consists of.”
“I do. Turning your sword spirit into a dragon. The dragon is nowhere near as domineering as I am.”
“How do you compare something that doesn’t exist?” Xiaoshuai interjected.
“Rodent, I’m more than happy to warm-up on you.”
“Get on my level first.”
“You two can quarrel till you drop later. Will I harm you if I fuse you and my sword spirit?”
“You want me to replace your Falling Dragon Roars?”
“Yeah.”
“We can give it a try. I’m tough enough to handle the sword spirit.”
“Tough but not tougher than me,” Xiaoshuai interrupted again.
“This guy…” Mu Yu shook his head. “In that case, let’s give it a try.”
Mu Yu created seven Shadow Splitter Swords and manifested a dragon from each sword. He obliterated a rock on the ground with one slash. The dragon vine grew over ten metres long and condescendingly charged toward the dragons Mu Yu manifested.
Thud! The impact of the two dragons colliding flung them backwards.
“Puahaha, what sort of idiot are you? He said he wanted you to fuse with his dragon. What did you crash into the dragon for?” Xiaoshuai commented, slapping himself as he laughed.
“You want to go?”
“I’m not wasting my energy for nothing, idiot.”
The dragon vine used to fire blasts in combat, so asking it to adjust to Mu Yu’s sword spirit was a novel idea if wasn’t sure how to approach.
“I’ll try again.” The dragon vine adjusted his qi and… Smash! It failed again.
“It’s pointless. He can try until he bleeds to death, and it’ll never work unless he’s willing to adjust. Big Earthworm, instead of trying to head butt the dragon as hard as you can, try letting it attach to you.”
“Fine. Mu Yu, send your dragon to me. I won’t resist.”
With a twirl of Mu Yu’s wrist, the dragon in the sky went in a circle and then flew to the dragon vine. He tried to imitate what the dragon vine did and imagined the two fusing together.
Crash! The dragon vine smashed into the ground, creating a crater.
“Ahahaha, Big Earthworm is seeing stars.”
The dragon vine struggled back up and brayed, “Is your brain dead, Rodent?!”
Apologetic, Mu Yu checked the dragon vine for injuries.
“Where are we going wrong? I’m certain my idea works. Why are the two repelling each other?”
“Mu Yu, your intent is to have Big Earthworm control Falling Dragon Roar’s sword spirit. As such, the feasibility hinges on Big Earthworm’s comprehension. He needs to be familiar with your sword spirit to control it. Imagine being asked to control something you don’t understand. Given Big Earthworm’s intelligence… I doubt you’re going to have any success,” Xiaoshuai climbed onto Mu Yu’s shoulder and enthused.
“Who are you calling stupid? I know his sword spirit perfectly well after seeing Falling Dragon Roars so many times,” argued the dragon vine, circling around Mu Yu. “It’s just that we don’t jive. I don’t know what it wants to do next. Mu Yu doesn’t know what I’m going to do next, either. He and I need to link our qi.”
“You mean you want me to control you?”
Mu Yu never wanted to control the dragon vine, justifying that he didn’t want to control it when it had a mind of its own. By that account, the two weren’t on the same wavelength.
“If you control me, how is it any different to what you’ve been doing? Controlling me is the same as what you’ve been doing. If you can use your new formation knowledge to create a formation that can connect our qi, allowing me to learn how your sword spirit operates, I should be able to fuse with it.”
Mu Yu sat down and visualised the Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts sword spirit in the rocks around him again. It wasn’t the easiest formation to come up with…
“Mu Yu, why not try Profound Formations? I reckon you can understand the contents now. I remember seeing Wind Interlinked Hearts Formation, the one that is deployed from the southeast spot on the eight trigrams formation. That should do the job,” Xiaoshuai suggested.
“You have a point. I only learnt it for the sake of learning it and never considered what context to deploy it. Good catch.”
Using Wood Spirit Sword as his formation foundation so that he could use it in the same scenario again down the road, Mu Yu drew the formation for Wind Interlinked Hearts.
“Dragon Vine, let’s give it another go.”
Wood Spirit Sword vibrated in front of Mu Yu, activating a green eight trigrams formation at Mu Yu’s feet. He spawned six Shadow Splitter Swords again, lining up in one straight line in the sky. He then moved to the eight trigrams’ formation’s southeast location and slammed his spiritual-energy-enhanced hands down on ‘gentle wind’ spot.
Mu Yu suddenly sensed the dragon vine’s desire to fight Xiaoshuai, and found out Xiaoshuai was thinking, I’ve never had an earthworm. I wonder if stir fry earthworm tastes good.
“Rodent, you’re not seriously thinking about actual earthworms, are you?” The dragon vine asked after also reading Xiaoshuai’s mind.
“Worry about how you’d survive in a fight against me first.”
“Dragon Vine, hurry!” Mu Yu manifested Falling Dragon Roars as well as the key point.
The dragon vine roared to the sky then zoomed over and devoured the dragon.
“Falling Dragon Roars!”
The dragon vine fired a jet of green dragon blast. The blast transformed into a flying side, slicing a deep gorge in the ground. The dragon vine impressed even itself with its might.
“Tremble before my might, Rodent. Bow down to me.”
