Chapter 7, oh, I apologize for forgetting to write the title
Akasha spoke rather unceremoniously, yet Li Aoruike immediately and obediently tossed aside his longsword and shield. To Wang Wu, the four-meter-tall giant skeleton appeared as docile as the chickens and ducks raised at Yangcheng Academy.
Old Daoist Zhou Tong also echoed: "Old Li Guan is quite similar, but as for Guan, there is no way at all."
Wang Wu immediately recalled the dying dreamweaver he encountered on the outskirts of the Free City. Could it be that he realized at that time that he had no dream shadow, so... "However, your situation is somewhat different from that of a theoretical dreamless person," Akasha said, her purple eyes suddenly igniting with flames. "A dreamless person simply lacks dreams by nature, which means that this person inherently possesses excellent dream control. However, it does not mean that this person is incapable of dreaming. Once they undergo the training of lucid dreaming, the dream shadow is bound to appear. Yet, how could you, studying at Yangcheng Academy, possibly have no dream shadow at all? You... should be fundamentally incapable of dreaming, right?" You... should be fundamentally incapable of dreaming, right?
For someone who has lived in an underground maze for over ten years, their understanding of the opposite sex is still in a very nascent stage. At least Wang Wu has not quite grasped it until now. When he suggested to Kelly that they close the door tightly in the dormitory to play chess, he was completely unaware of what had provoked her anger. He also did not understand that, apart from the physical differences, there are other distinctions between men and women.
The result was quite unexpected. After saying this, Akasha turned to Zhou Tong and the skeleton, saying, "My purple fire suddenly diminished a bit just now... permanently."
Akasha replied: "I have not seen examples in reality, but theoretically, the Dreamless are the most gifted practitioners of dream weaving, and their progress will far surpass that of others. Moreover, among dream weavers of the same realm, the dreams of the Dreamless will be more stable... In short, they are the kind of genius figures."

Very well, next, let us seriously analyze the secrets surrounding this m.hetushu.com child... I have always felt that the changes over the past fifty years will be the key to our escape from difficulties
Akasha made this judgment, while Zhou Tong and the skeleton remained silent, appearing deep in thought. After a while, the skeleton moved the knife in its hand and said, "Shall we dissect it to take a look?"
Zhou Tong immediately leaned over: "What? No Dream Shadow? Could it be a dead person?"
In a daze, he suddenly felt that the purple fire burning before him was so beautiful that he wanted to grasp it and play with it carefully
Akasha shook her head: "Of course, it is the living... There is a kind of living person who indeed has no dreamlike shadow, have you all forgotten?"
Akasha shrugged, revealing a slightly bitter expression
Akasha: "Shut up!"
Wang Wu shrugged and said, "I have never been told about it, and even if I had, I wouldn't remember. Moreover, before you, no one had ever informed me about the matter of Dream Shadow."
Gazing into the woman's violet eyes, Wang Wu felt no tension at all. He smiled in response and then asked, "So, what is this place?"
The skeleton ignored Zhou Tong and explained somewhat ingratiatingly: "You see, after I figured it out, I immediately sheathed my sword, so I didn't hurt him at all"
Akasha spoke, her eyes ablaze with a suddenly intensified fire. Amidst the flames, Wang Wu felt as if he were on the verge of losing himself, his consciousness gradually becoming hazy.
Wang Wu was taken aback: "Yes, how did you know?"
With her eyes slightly closed, Akasha showed a hint of fatigue as she persuaded Wang Wu: "I mean no harm, I just want to conduct an experiment"
Yangcheng College? As expected... What is your dean's name?
Zhou Tong pondered and said: "Dream Shadow? Are you saying that this guy... steals dreams?"
Akasha said: "Generally, no one would specifically go to check someone else's dream shadow, especially not a child like you from https://www.hetushucomcom. The dream shadow is very faint and hard to detect, and even if you see it, it is of no significance... Only Lioreik, due to his racial talent, would be more sensitive to it. You see, even I didn't notice the problem before."
"Not a bit wrong," Wang Wu praised, "After a month of school, I am completely stuck in the waking dream phase, with a completion rate that remains at zero. Many people say that I have no talent for dream building at all, merely drifting through the academy—truly a kindred spirit."
Here... just consider it a prison. After all, the three of us have been trapped here for over 50 years and cannot get out, which is no different from a prison
Ah, Akasha, we are not...
"Why aren't you speaking? Don't you two enjoy bickering when you're together?"
Upon regaining consciousness, Wang Wu became exceptionally alert, capable of losing himself without even realizing it. This woman named Akasha is truly remarkable. During his time at Yangcheng Academy, Hua Yun had exerted great effort to guide him into hypnosis, yet it did not cause Wang Wu to waver in the slightest.
Zhou Tong and Li Aoruike certainly understood that being trapped here for over fifty years, they had thoroughly analyzed every characteristic of this space, and thus they simultaneously displayed expressions of surprise
Wang Wu naturally could not understand at all. Watching the three people who were almost dancing with excitement, he could only sigh inwardly, thinking that this trio had been lonely for fifty years, and indeed they were quite desperate. It was not just a matter of the intruder being himself; even if a dog were to enter, they would likely try to extract miraculous elements from the dog.
Then Akasha said: "There is no need to elaborate on the matter concerning the three of us and Jin Zhengyang; it is indeed because of him that we find ourselves in this predicament... However, the most pressing question now is, why are you able to enter here"
Old Skeleton Li scoffed: "Does he really think he can confine us?"
Akasha, your guess is correct; this young man will be the key to our escape and the book
Akasha nodded: "At first, I merely intended to attempt to draw him into the Dream Kingdom, to test his reaction, but I did not expect to permanently lose a trace of purple fire... He has not undergone any training, and this dream-stealing ability is evidently innate, perhaps a form of bloodline power. This also explains why he was drawn into this space; he must have stolen a trace of this space's power at the passage, disrupting the energy balance, and thus was absorbed by the space. The nature of this space is void, and we ourselves are within this space. Even if he has stolen a trace of the space's power, we would not be able to perceive the resulting dreamlike shadow!"
In a tone of casual understatement, it caused the enormous skeletal monster to shudder: "No, at that time I thought he was Zhou Tong's son, so I instinctively struck out."
Wang Wu turned his gaze in the direction of the sound, and what came into view was a woman, an exceptionally alluring woman
Akasha said: "Since it exists theoretically, it wouldn't be surprising to see one in reality, would it? By the way, Wang Wu... have you ever not dreamed at all?"
Most people in the world indeed lack any notable talent, yet there are very few who do not dream at all; at least, you are the only one I have encountered... Moreover, if it were merely a lack of talent, it would be impossible for you to be drawn into this space; you possess some intriguing secrets.
Zhou Tong also said: "Yeah, why can this kid come in?"
Wang Wu, a non-excellent student of Yangcheng College, was inexplicably transported here due to a diligent cleaning effort. If you ask me why... is it because my cleaning was not thorough enough
Do not be nervous
Is it the dean? Jin Zhengyang, if I remember correctly
Meanwhile, a faint hint of purple subtly appeared in Wang Wu's vision. Although it was barely perceptible, the gazes of those present were exceptionally keen
Akasha hetushu .com .com smiled slightly: "It is not strange to see living people, but it is quite strange to see living people here. We have lived here for over fifty years, and apart from the three of us, you are the only other living person we have encountered. Don't you think that is strange?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the old Taoist priest and the skeleton old Li exclaimed in unison: "That bastard!"
"Stopping for a moment, Akasha continued, 'Stealing my purple fire is not a significant issue; what is crucial is that he can siphon the power of this space. Although it is merely a barely perceptible trace, do you understand the implications of this?"
Zhou Tong was furious: "Old Li, you bastard!"
Upon hearing the words "Yangcheng Academy," Akasha's expression became unusually grave
Upon reflecting on this, Wang Wu deeply regretted not having secretly stolen and examined the pornographic publications hoarded by the old one-eyed man back in the day, which resulted in his extreme lack of understanding of the beings known as women
Akasha glanced at him: "Speaking of this... Leo Riek, I remember at the very beginning, you regarded him as the child of Zhou Tong and me. This would have been fine, but since you considered him my child, how could you dare to strike him with a knife?"
Akasha coldly said: "In any case, put away your knife. Although your race has changed, you and I are still Dream Builders in the end. Decades have passed; hasn't your mind rusted?"
As soon as the thought arose, he suddenly heard Akasha's exclamation, and the purple flames abruptly extinguished, causing the hazy illusion he was deeply immersed in to vanish as well
Many people have mentioned that the protagonist's character in the new book is too ordinary ...! ... To this, I can only say, what did I write in my last book? Readers, you have become corrupted! Alright, to speak more seriously, the new book is written in the third person, so what does that mean? ... It means that it will be much easier for me to develop supporting characters, so I hope to distribute the highlights a bit. I hope that after this book is completed, people will remember not only Wang Wu but also the existence of other characters in the story, that's all hetushu .com .com
Old Skeleton Li fell silent for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed: "This kid has a problem! Look closely, he doesn't have any Dreamlike Shadows on him!"
Regarding this question about living people, Wang Wu has indeed felt confused for a long time: "Living people are quite strange? Aren't you?"
"May I ask who you are and why you are here"
Yet, it was this Wang Wu who, upon seeing the woman, could not help but think of the word "charming"
However, Akasha ignored the skeleton and the old Taoist, walking straight up to Wang Wu. She slightly bent down to examine him from head to toe, and then exclaimed, "Oh, it really is a living person!"
Old Li: "Grass Mud Horse!"
It is evident that the academy has not taught you this. Anyone who has experienced a dream carries a trace of its ethereal shadow, and a skilled dream weaver can keenly observe this shadow and deduce various information about the other person from it
Zhou Tong pondered for a moment and exclaimed, "Are you referring to the dreamless? You're joking, right? Are there really such people in this world?"
Wang Wu asked: "What happens next?"
The woman approached with a smile, her long, jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall, gently swaying with each step. Two softly curled strands of bangs brushed against the corners of her smiling lips, while her arms, resembling white jade, were bare and crossed elegantly over her chest, exuding an effortless grace.
So, is there anything remarkable about not having dreams
This woman seems to exist naturally to embody something, from her curvaceous body lines, the delicate skin that appears to glisten with moisture, to her expressive eyes that seem to speak. Wang Wu vaguely sensed something but was unable to articulate it clearly.
After the woman appeared, Skeleton Old Li and the old Taoist Zhou Tong were simultaneously petrified, as if they had encountered some great terror, and for a moment, they did not even dare to speak.
Wang Wu reacted quickly: "Are you three the great villains locked in here by the dean?"
