A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 458 The Death of the Witch Dragon

Voldemort said, "That's because there was a problem with the barrier, which gave the people from the Dark Magic Academy an opportunity to take advantage."

"Is there a problem with the barrier?" Chao Bufan asked again.

"It's not clear yet. Fire Wolf King and the others are already investigating. Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. You guys should go back too! Don't wander around aimlessly."

With that, the ground dragon shot into the air with a "whoosh" and flew away into the distance, disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

“Let’s go back!” Chao Bufan said.

“Yes.” Bridal and the others nodded in unison.

Back in the dormitory, Bai Ling and the others hadn't finished class yet. Chao Bufan sat cross-legged on his bed and transmitted his voice, "Senior, I feel my cultivation has improved quite a bit!"

"So what level do you feel you've reached?" the old man asked him.

"The peak of the Human Realm is only one step away from the Harmony Realm," Chao Bufan replied. "Senior, you said I've reached the peak of the Human Realm, so why is my internal space still the same?"

"The internal space doesn't necessarily increase with the improvement of cultivation level," the old man replied.

"Why?" Chao Bufan asked, puzzled.

"A grain of sand contains a world, a leaf contains a universe! Generally speaking, when a person's cultivation reaches a certain limit, it causes mutations in certain parts of the body, resulting in the creation of an internal space. The appearance of this internal space brings both an increase in the owner's cultivation and numerous other benefits. However, the time and space within the internal space differ from, and may even be completely different from, the time and space outside." The old man spoke eloquently, then continued, "The reason why the size of the internal space doesn't necessarily increase with the improvement of cultivation is that it may even shrink. Only by carefully managing the internal space after its formation can it become stable, and only a stable internal space has the potential to expand."

"What?" Chao Bufan was startled and said, "The internal space can shrink? Senior, why didn't you tell me sooner? I've been wondering about this for so long."

"Kid, you didn't even ask me, so how can I tell you?"

"It seems I need to take some time to manage my internal space," Chao Bufan muttered to himself, then said, "Senior, I understand."

After saying that, Chao Bufan made a thought, and the next second, he disappeared from the bed.

In this unfamiliar world, or rather, a sealed space, it was small, less than 500 meters in diameter, like a cube with sides of about 500 meters. Within this space, there was no sunlight, no moisture, and even the air was so thin and dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, and then Chao Bufan appeared in this sealed space.

"Sigh..."

He sighed softly and muttered to himself, "What's going on? Is this my internal space?"

When he said those words, even he himself couldn't believe what he was seeing. What kind of inner space was this? It was clearly a desolate wasteland where no one would bother to do anything!

“No, the space inside my body is too small. I need to make it big enough, and it also needs spiritual energy, sunlight, water, trees, mountains, rivers, and so on. I want to make my inner space exactly like the outside world.” He said, “It seems that I am the only one who can be the pioneer.”

He acted immediately, first casting a "magical sunlight" spell, instantly illuminating the dark space inside his body; then, he cast a "magical expansion" spell, instantly increasing the size of his body, which was originally only the size of a football field, to several times its original size.

"No, it's still too small." He examined his internal space, seemingly dissatisfied with the result. Suddenly, a thought struck him: "That's it! I can ask them for help!"

With that, he left his inner space and appeared on his bed in the dormitory. Then, with a thought, he disappeared again.

Magic Canyon.

At this moment, Professor Vaux, Professor Beers, Professor Meda, Professor Kressdorf, and others were discussing something in that old building. The atmosphere seemed somewhat tense, and they all had serious expressions, with no one speaking for a while.

"Professor, so that's what you've all been thinking about!"

Suddenly, Chao Bufan appeared before them like a ghost, startling all four professors.

"Extraordinary? You—" Professor Kressdorf was full of surprise.

Chao Bufan smiled slightly, then raised his hand in a gesture of respect and said, "Professors, I apologize for disturbing you."

Professor Meda asked, "Extraordinary, did you kill the Witch Dragon?"

Chao Bufan nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, Professor Mida, I did kill the Witch Dragon."

"So how did you do that?" Professor Kressdorf asked.

"It's very simple. Just drain the 'essence, energy, and spirit' from the Wulong's body, and it will naturally die," Chao Bufan said calmly.

"Drain its 'vital energy'?" Professor Beers asked, puzzled.

“Yes,” Chao Bufan replied, “The vital signs of any living being, including us humans, are composed of ‘essence, qi, and spirit.’ The history of the formation of heaven and earth is much longer than the history of the formation of humans. After the formation of heaven and earth, yin and yang came into being. Before the formation of heaven and earth, there was the Wuji (limitless), which is said to be: Wuji gives birth to Taiji, which gives birth to heaven and earth; the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the interaction of qi creates harmony. Thus, humans came into being. Humans are the most intelligent of all things, and they can participate in the transformation and nurturing of heaven and earth.”

Chao Bufan, disregarding whether they understood or not, continued speaking eloquently: "Actually, our bodies are also divided into Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are two, and two begets three. Therefore, there are three treasures in the heavens—the sun, the moon, and the stars; corresponding on earth are water, fire, and wind; and corresponding in the human body are essence, qi, and spirit. Essence is actually subtle matter, or a high-energy life form; spirit is invisible, it is light, and also a kind of 'heat.' If essence is insufficient, spirit will be insufficient, just like an oil lamp without oil—would the flame light up? If your life energy is inherently low, and then..." If you expend too much energy after birth, it leads to less vitality. Less vitality manifests in daily life as fatigue and lethargy, and more importantly, it manifests as a gloomy, pessimistic outlook on the world. Therefore, this is a mutually supportive relationship; and there is a transition between essence and spirit, connected by qi. The kinetic energy formed by the movement and change of essence—when still, it's called essence; when in motion, it's called qi. Therefore, all living beings are composed of essence, qi, and spirit; without the control of essence, qi, and spirit, there is no life.
