"...Does that mean he's right to be so out of touch?"

Ariel felt inexplicably unable to complain. Originally, she thought that the King of the Dragon Clan was some kind of wise and powerful man. Now thinking about Trish's awkward salty dragon posture, the Dragon Clan might not be taking jujube pills.

"Ahem! I don't know about that. Maybe he just lived too long and was bored."

Speaking of a certain old dragon's inconsistent personality, he was pale and somewhat unconfident. Mainly because he did not expect that the legendary and powerful dragon tribe would have such a style.

‘...Wait a minute, don’t all the mythological powerful figures in this world have this unorthodox style of painting?’

Thinking of this inexplicable and weird possibility, he couldn't help but shudder. There shouldn't be any weird rules in this world where the more powerful you are, the less consistent you are? Probably not.

"what's on your mind?"

Seeing Bai Bai suddenly fell silent, and then his face changed strangely. The girl Ariel blinked her beautiful fiery eyes. It was rare to see such a rich expression on his face.

"nothing."

He didn't answer the question, and asked with a trace of confusion on his face.

"Speaking of which, have you ever seen that mythical strongman of your kind?"

"Um?"

Ariel probably didn't realize that his thoughts were so fast, but she still replied honestly.

"No, the mythical strongman of our human race is very mysterious. I have only heard my father occasionally talk about him living in the imperial capital all year round, but I have never actually seen him."

"It sounds more serious than Trixie..."

Bai Bai held his chin and whispered softly.

The corner of the girl's mouth twitched when she heard him whispering to himself, and she couldn't help but retort.

"What are you thinking? Our human race's Shinhwa will never be indifferent to Trixi."

"I hope..."

Wanwan was noncommittal about this, but he was still very interested in another mythical powerhouse.

"If we have a chance, we can go to the Imperial Capital and maybe meet him."

After speaking, he clapped his hands to bring the girl back to her senses, and then continued.

"Okay, let's get back to the point."

Ariel continued their previous conversation and said.

"You said before that the mythical realm is also divided into two aspects: mental and physical transformation?"

Wanwan was very satisfied with her ability to remember his teachings.

"Yes, but it's more than that. You have to understand that what I teach you is just my own understanding, but what you need to become a myth is that you walk your own path."

The girl sounded like he just didn't want to make her dependent, so she agreed.

"Unlike legends, the spiritual transformation required by myths may be better said to be enlightenment. You can only truly possess the enlightenment of a strong person, the will and character of a myth..."

"Can it become a myth?"

The girl continued.

"No, you can achieve the premise of the myth."

"..."

Ignoring Ariel's slightly speechless look, Bai Bai still explained slowly.

"Don't get me wrong, the dual transformation of spirit and body is the condition for breaking through the legend. I only derived the premise of the mythical realm based on these two conditions, but it does not mean that achieving these two items can become a myth."

"So don't listen to what I say, and learn to think for yourself. What I said is just my own understanding. You can just write it down for reference."

The girl rolled her eyes, maybe she was a little numb after hearing so much.

"Aside from physical and mental conditions, are there any other conditions?"

But what I didn't expect was that when he said this, the pale man suddenly fell silent. He opened his mouth as if he didn't know how to continue speaking. Under Ariel's puzzled eyes, he pondered for a long time before speaking slowly.

"If I guess correctly, there is a real core breakthrough condition in the mythical realm."

The girl who heard this just raised her eyebrows and waited silently for him to finish without saying anything.

"Although Trish may not know it, I can infer one thing from him. The core point of mythology is also their most powerful power - rules."

"What are the rules?"

Ariel was a little confused. When she heard Wanwan talking about forbidden spells before, she mentioned the so-called power of rules many times, but she only half-understood them.

"What do you think: why is fire hot and why is ice cold?"

Baiwan asked with a smile.

"Isn't this a normal thing? It's always been like this."

The girl frowned, not understanding what he meant.

"So for you, these are the rules."

He said calmly, with a deep meaning in his tone that was incomprehensible.

"For mortals, this has always been the case from ancient times to the present, and over time it has naturally become the truth."

The girl didn't know what to say for a moment, as if something flashed through her heart, but she couldn't catch it.

"But for mythology, what are the rules? Perhaps when you understand this problem, you will have the power of mythology to rewrite the rules."

The pale tone was faint, and the meaning of what he said was unclear. Ariel frowned in thought but still looked confused. Perhaps these things were too far away for her.

Seeing that the girl was still frowning and thinking, he smiled and comforted her.

"Rules are still too far away from you, and you can't explain them clearly in words. But you don't have to worry about it. When you reach this state in the future, you will naturally understand what I said today."

Ariel relaxed her brows, raised her fiery red eyes and looked at him, realizing the meaning of his words.

"Are you so confident that I can become a myth? I haven't even reached the level of a legend yet."

"Of course! It doesn't matter who can teach you. If I teach you, I believe you must have that ability."

Faced with Wan Wan's somewhat narcissistic words, it was rare for the girl not to think that he was talking nonsense. Because of her peers along the way, there was no doubt that she really learned a lot from Wan Wan.

Recalling the scenes of getting along along the way, although the process was difficult and the time was short, Ariel couldn't help but feel warm in her chest when she thought about it.

She seemed to understand something in her heart, and a moving smile appeared on her pretty face.

"I won't let you down."

"Well... I believe you, then work hard."

Bai Bai held his chin and looked at the girl in front of him who looked like he had been injected with blood. Although he said words of encouragement, the expression on his face seemed to be harboring some bad idea.

"what's on your mind?"

This look made Ariel panic inexplicably, and then she secretly rejoiced. She wondered in her mind if this guy had finally come to his senses?

Should I follow it later? Or should I struggle for a while and then follow it?

"I'm wondering...whether it's time to help you break through to the legendary realm."

Bai Bai pinched his chin and said.

Ariel:(?_?)

"That's it?"

The girl's expression made him a little confused as to why she reacted this way.

"Otherwise? What else do you want? Isn't it imperative that you break through to the legendary realm now?"

"It's okay, this is indeed a top priority."

Ariel rolled her eyes, not knowing whether that person really didn't understand the style or was deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"But didn't you say before that I want my mental strength to suddenly become legendary? I'm still a little short of it, and it will take a while of hard work?"

"Normally this is true."

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her pale mouth, making the girl's eyes light up.

Don't get me wrong, her eyes lit up not because of seeing him...well, not entirely because of seeing him. Mainly because she thought, is there any other way to speed up the process of her mental transformation?

"What can you do?"

"There is indeed a way that can not only change your mental strength. It can even help you understand your own path and understand what enlightenment is to a certain extent."

Wan Wan's persuasive words actually made the girl wake up. Because the benefits were too great, she thought of what Wan Wan had said before, that any shortcut and benefit secretly had a corresponding price.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Faced with the girl's vigilance, Bai Wan nodded with satisfaction. His teachings along the way were worthy of his guidance. Even under the temptation of power, he could still remain vigilant and understand his own heart.

"Of course there are corresponding costs. It may even be more harmful than beneficial to you, and the risk far outweighs the benefit."

Hearing this, Ariel frowned slightly and stared at him with red fiery eyes, waiting for his words. Since it was so unworthy to say it out, she believed that Bai Bai must have his own reasons.

"You should also know very well that in your current situation, even without any acceleration, the growth of your mental power has approached a limit. It only takes a few months or at most half a year to cross that legendary boundary."
