Star destroyer's gaze

"Are you... Are you real?" Yusri suddenly asked the dragon.

"No, I am just an illusion created by the Comprehension Tablet in this world. However, that doesn't mean I don't exist, because this is an illusion of my true self. If you manage to reach the upper heavens then maybe you will be able to see the real me. And when that happens, don't think you'll be able to stand there as quietly as you are now." The dragon spoke in an overbearing voice, sounding as if Yusri had somehow hurt his pride by not cowering in fear from his very large presence like the norm of humans.

"Anyway, enough blabbering, man. This great man will show you the power of the Dragon's Stare." The dragon turned to look at the large planet in the distance and continued, "Did you see that star? Before the Dragon's gaze, it was no different from a small stone..."

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

Seconds later— BOOM!

An 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 Yusri flying dozens of miles backward. Of course, before the incomprehensible size of the Dragon, it looked as if Yusri had never moved at all.

"..." - ".Yusri witnessed this amazing scene with his jaw dropped and his eyes wide open in shock, as he had never seen anything this dramatic before.

"It was the power of the Dragon's Stare at its maximum potential. At first, you will only be able to scare some people with it, but once you better understand the technique, you will be able to kill your enemies with just a glance!" The dragon spoke afterwards.

"Killing people with just my gaze? It sounds very powerful but also very dangerous at the same time..." Yusri muttered in a dazed voice.

"After all, can you do it again? I need to look at it a few more times before I can learn it," Yusri then said to the Dragon with an innocent expression on his face.

"Multiple times? Ahhaha!"

The dragon suddenly exploded from laughter, causing the entire starry sky to tremble, and Yusri felt his internal organs dancing ferociously. However, for some strange reason, it did not hurt him at all.

As soon as the Dragon stopped laughing a moment later, he spoke in a serious voice, "Although your comprehension ability might be impressive, don't overestimate yourself, you're an ordinary human! The previous human had to watch the technique hundreds of thousands of times before he could even begin to understand it! And only after watching a few million more times did he finally understand enough of his techniques to use them!"

"A few million? But he only had seven days to learn the technique, right? There was no way he could watch his technique so many times in such a short amount of time!" Yusri expressed his doubts.

"We are currently in your mind, so time flows differently here. You can stay here for a few years if you want and only a few hours will pass in the outside world!" The dragon said.

"What's? I can learn the technique for a few years while I'm here?" Yusri muttered in a dazed voice.

"At your level, you will be able to remain inside this space for at most a few weeks, which is just enough to witness a few thousand Dragon Stares."

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

The dragon looked at Yusri with big narrowed eyes after hearing his words. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Because you are so confident that you can learn my Dragon's gaze so easily, how about betting a little with me, man?"

"A bet? But aren't you just an illusion?" Yusri says.

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

And it continues, "As for the stakes... If you can learn my Dragon's Stare before I demonstrate it 10,000 times, I'll take it as your victory, and I'll give you something very special."

"If you lose, well, there's nothing you can do for me here so you won't lose anything on losing bets. Therefore, you can only get something out of this bet. How about that?"

With nothing to lose, Yusri nodded. "Okay, let's do it."

"Good! Then take a good look, as I will be demonstrating my Dragon's Stare endlessly now!"

The dragon then turned to look at another planet in the distance that suddenly emerged from thin air before using the Dragon's gaze once again, obliterating the planet almost instantly.

Holy hooch! Yusri was pushed back a few more miles after the explosion, yet he did not blink and stared with an intensive gaze as the Dragons continued to destroy the planets one by one.

The explosion! The explosion! The explosion!

The dragon obliterated a dozen stars in just a few minutes, resting for only a few breaths before its eyes shot out another star-destroying beam, and Yusri watched every planet being obliterated without blinking his eyes.

Very quickly a few days had passed in his mind, and Yusri had witnessed the Dragon's Stare almost a thousand times.

Meanwhile, outside, the Comprehension Tablet changed color once again after a few hours of silence, this time becoming bright red, further surprising Xue Jiye and the people in the audience room
