"Are you… Are you real?" Yuan suddenly asked the dragon.

"No, I am a mere illusion created by the Tablet of Comprehension in this world. However, that is not to say I do not exist, as this is an illusion of my real-self. If you manage to reach the upper heavens then perhaps you will get to see the real me. And when that happens, don't think you'll be able to stand there as calmly as you are now." The Dragon spoke in an arrogant voice, sounding as though Yuan had somehow hurt its pride by not cowering in fear from its immense presence like any norm human should.

"Anyway, enough yapping, human. This great one shall demonstrate to you the power of Dragon's Gaze." The Dragon turned to look at the large planet in the distance and continued, "Do you see that star? Before the Dragon's Gaze, it is no different than a little rock…"

The Dragon's golden eyes suddenly flickered with a profound light before shooting out an invisible beam that flew straight at the planet in the distance.

A second later— BOOM!

The entire planet that was 10 times larger than Earth exploded into countless fragments before disappearing into the darkness, and the shockwave created by the explosion was powerful enough to send Yuan flying tens of miles backward. Of course, before the Dragon's incomprehensible size, it appeared as though Yuan never moved at all.

"..." Yuan witnessed this mind-blowing scene with his jaw dropped and his eyes wide open from shock, as he has never seen anything this dramatic before.

"That is the power of Dragon's Gaze at its maximum potential. In the beginning, you'll only be able to scare a few people with it, but once you understand the technique more, you'll be able to kill your enemies with a mere gaze!" The Dragon spoke afterward.

"Killing people with just my gazes? That sounds incredibly powerful but also extremely dangerous at the same time…" Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice.

"Anyway, can you do that again? I will need to see it a few more times before I can learn it," Yuan then said to the Dragon with an innocent expression on his face.

"A few times? Hahahaha!"

The Dragon suddenly exploded with laughter, causing the entire starry sky to tremble, and Yuan felt his internal organs dancing around viciously. However, for some odd reason, it didn't hurt him at all.

Once the Dragon stopped laughing a few moments later, it spoke in a serious voice, "Although your comprehension ability may be impressive, don't overestimate yourself, you mere human! The previous human had to watch the technique for hundreds of thousands of times before he could even begin to understand it! And only after watching for a few million more times did he finally understand the technique enough to use it!"

"A few million? But he only had seven days to study the technique, right? There's no way he could've watched the technique so many times in such a short time!" Yuan expressed his doubts.

"We are currently inside your mind, so time flows differently in here. You can stay in here for a few years if you wish and only a few hours will have pa.s.sed in the outside world!" The Dragon said.

"What? I can study the technique for a few years while I am here?" Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice.

"Yes. However, your spirit and soul must also be strong enough to endure it because the longer you stay in here the more exhausting it will be for your body and mind, and you are only a Spirit Warrior whilst the previous human was already a Spirit Grandmaster when he came here."

"At your level, you will be able to remain inside this s.p.a.ce for a few weeks at most, which is only enough to witness a few thousand Dragon's Gaze."

"A few thousand, huh? That should be more than enough," Yuan nodded with a calm expression on his face.

The Dragon stared at Yuan with its ma.s.sive eyes narrowed after hearing his words. After a moment of silence, it spoke, "Since you are so confident that you can learn my Dragon's Gaze so easily, how about a little bet with me, human?"

"A bet? But aren't you only an illusion?" Yuan said.

"I may be an illusion but I still have some powers in here. Although I may not be able to physically help you, there are other things I can do here." The Dragon said.

And it continued, "As for the bet… If you can learn my Dragon's Gaze before I demonstrate it a total of 10,000 times, I will consider it your win, and I shall give you something very special."

"If you lose, well, there's really nothing you can do for me in here so you won't lose anything for losing the bet. Therefore, you can only gain something from this bet. How about it?"

Since there was nothing to lose, Yuan nodded. "Okay, let's do it."

"Good! Then watch closely, because I will be demonstrating my Dragon's Gaze without stopping now!"

The Dragon then turned to look at another planet in the distance that had suddenly appeared out of thin air before using the Dragon's Gaze once again, obliterating the planet almost instantly.

Whoos.h.!.+ Yuan was pushed back a few miles again after the explosion, yet he did not blink and stared with an intensive gaze as the Dragon continued destroying planets one at a time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Dragon obliterated a dozen stars in just a few minutes, taking breaks only for a few breaths before its eyes shot out another star-destroying beam, and Yuan witnessed each and every single planet being obliterated without blinking his eyes.

Very quickly a couple of days have pa.s.sed inside his mind, and Yuan has witnessed the Dragon's Gaze almost a thousand times.

Meanwhile, on the outside, the Tablet of Comprehension changed colors once again after a few hours of silence, turning bright red this time, shocking Xue Jiye and those in the spectators' room even more.
