"What?" 537 Dragon Power? Are you sure the message is correct? Yu Xiaoyun looked at the two empresses, his eyes filled with shock.
"Absolutely no mistake. Brother Xiaoyun, you claim to be born with divine power, and even more so with the radiance of the Vermilion Bird. I remember when you first entered the Immortal King realm, you only had 327.
Who would have thought that Long Chen, who seemed gentle and weak on the surface, possessed such terrifying power. Xu Lanxin's face was also filled with shock.
"That shouldn't be possible. Even if he has true dragon essence blood in his body, he's still human. How could he have such great power?" Yu Xiaoyun still couldn't believe it.
It should be known that he was exceptionally gifted, possessing astonishing divine strength since childhood. However, his power was the secret of the Vermilion Bird Empire, known only to himself and two empresses.
When Yu Xiaoyun was born, a strange phenomenon appeared from the sky, with the divine radiance of the Vermilion Bird flashing forth. At birth, he carried the Vermilion Bird rune on his back and was known as the reincarnation of the Son of the Vermilion Bird.
Therefore, his physical body was terrifying to the extreme, but as the secret weapon of the Vermilion Bird Empire, his power remained unknown.
But Long Chen's current strength actually surpassed his previous self. This shocked him and made him somewhat incredulous, because in his life, he had never met anyone whose strength surpassed his.
Not only did it surpass him, but it also surpassed a full 110 dragon strengths—this was simply shocking.
"The youngest dean in the history of Lingxiao Academy is probably even stronger than we imagined! This kid really knows how to hide things. Jiang Huixin laughed, and even she was filled with curiosity about Long Chen.
"Hmph, even if your strength surpasses my back then, so what? Strength isn't my strongest talent. Seeing Jiang Huixin and Xu Lanxin both praising Long Chen endlessly, Yu Xiaoyun said somewhat displeased.
Jiang Huixin and Xu Lanxin looked at Yu Xiaoyun, who was visibly angry, exchanged a glance, and both burst out laughing.
...
"537 Dragon Power?"
"That's absolutely impossible?"
"This is pure nonsense."
"This must be a deliberate gimmick created by Princess Qianxue. At the Immortal King Realm, let alone humans, even dragons could never possess such power."
When Long Chen possessed 537 Dragon Power and broke the Vermilion Bird Empire's Immortal King Realm power record, news surged like a tide among all the cultivators in the Vermilion Bird Empire.
Upon hearing this news, almost everyone's first reaction was that it was a lie, that the formation had failed and there had been a calculation error.
While countless experts were questioning the truth of the news and constantly sending people to verify it, Long Chen had already returned to the Princess's residence with Yu Qianxue. Zhu Yifeng admired Long Chen deeply, always following Long Chen and not even returning home, just lingering at the Princess's residence like Long Chen's little follower.
This time, Long Chen returned to the princess's residence. Yu Qianxue's guards were filled with respect and awe toward him, no longer daring to show any disrespect.
After returning to the princess's residence, Long Chen chose to go into seclusion. On the way back, he kept studying the Dragon God Body Refining Technique taught by the dragon clan experts.
"This technique is too vague. It should be the original concept of the dragon clan elders at the beginning of their cultivation, but if you refine it, it easily leads to errors, misleading others and leading them astray.
There are seven types of energy: spirit, soul, will, blood, qi, and bone. The first four belong to spiritual power. Spirit, soul, and will are easy to understand, but why does will feel so strange?
God is the primordial spirit, soul is soul, shouldn't will be considered an attribute? Why are they separated?
Or is it that the will of the dragon clan represents two meanings? Is 'intention' a thought? Is will the willpower? Is this understanding correct?
Since it's a dragon clan's divine ability, it must be based on dragon energy. Since I only have dragon blood on me, I can only start with dragon blood. After
finalizing the general route, Long Chen immediately entered cultivation mode.
"Rumble!"
The dragon blood inside Long Chen roared, ignited, golden flames enveloping Long Chen. The blood burned, but Long Chen felt nothing.
But when he used dragon blood as the catalyst to burn spiritual energy, Long Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body nearly exploding.
"Are you a pig?" How can you burn all your spiritual energy at once? How is that any different from suicide? "The dragon clan expert's angry shouts echoed in frustration.
"Oh, oh, I was careless."
Burning essence blood was very easy for Long Chen, so he didn't take burning spiritual energy seriously. However, he forgot that this time burning spiritual energy wasn't just burning spiritual energy, but using dragon blood fire to burn spiritual energy, nearly causing his body to explode.
After failing once, Long Chen divided the spiritual energy within his body into several hundred parts, trying to ignite only one portion.
Sure enough, this made things much simpler. Dragon blood and spiritual energy burned together, and Long Chen noticed that within the originally milky white spiritual energy, specks of golden light had appeared. His spiritual energy had begun to be tainted with the aura of the divine dragon.
Once he found the method, everything became much easier. In just half an hour, Long Chen ignited all the spiritual energy, then lifted the seal, allowing the burning energy to flow within his body.
Qi and blood fused together; now even Long Chen's aura had changed, radiating a sacred radiance, noble and untouchable.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Long Chen let out a miserable scream. When he used the fire of vital energy to ignite his hand bones, his bones seemed to be scorched by countless branding irons, and golden spots appeared on the white bones.
The golden spots began to corrode Long Chen's bones. These golden spots were dragon-shaped runes attached to Long Chen's bones, channeling golden energy into them.
However, the process was extremely painful. With Long Chen's endurance, his face was distorted from the pain, veins bulging on his forehead, looking extremely frightening.
"You don't need to rush so much. You can finish it piece by piece." The dragon clan expert advised.
"No need. It's been a long time since I've had this much pain, so let's just have it all at once!" Long Chen gritted his teeth.
"Boom!" Suddenly,
Long Chen's whole body trembled violently. Golden flames covered his bones, billions of dragon-shaped runes imprinted on his bones. Long Chen let out a thunderous roar, and even his teeth were covered in golden divine light.
"Are you harming yourself?"
The dragon clan experts were stunned. No one understood the pain of bone refining better than it did. Not to mention a human, even a dragon prodigy would die from the pain.
"Heh heh ..."
At this moment, Long Chen's eyes bulged in pain, his whole body convulsed, and a beast-like low growl escaped his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Long Chen's eyes were bloodshot, but he never gave up. Using this violent method, he branded his entire body.
It wasn't until an hour later that Long Chen's convulsions ceased, sweat soaked the entire floor, his face pale, and he was nearly exhausted.
After resting for a while, Long Chen began his internal vision and found that all the bones on his body had turned golden, with countless patterns appearing on them. These patterns seemed to be the unique veins of the bones, with golden dragons insideThe talisman is in motion.
"Heh, right now, I'm already steel and iron."
Long Chen felt the strength of his bones and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly. He felt that his bones, empowered by these runes, were stronger than domain artifacts.
"I understand, I understand..." At this moment, the dragon clan expert shouted excitedly, his voice trembling.
