Chapter 123

Rumble!

Another punch.

The Rending-Claw Dragon was instantly on the verge of death.

Chen Ang curled his lips and whispered, "Sending you on your way."

With that, he delivered the final blow, swinging his dragon claws and unleashing the Rending Claw technique.

The powerful strike landed.

*Splat.

The Rending-Claw Dragon's entire head was torn apart, and everything inside its brain splattered across the surrounding ground.

The Rending-Claw Dragon's body instantly lost all signs of life and died completely.

"Hoo."

Chen Ang let out a long breath, stepped out into the passageway, sat down on a relatively clean patch of floor, and panted heavily.

To be honest.

If he didn't possess the Mad Dragon Physique, he would never have been a match for this Rending-Claw Dragon.

He would have certainly died here.

This made him feel the might of the Mad Dragon Physique once again.

"However..."

"Just now, in a vague sense, I seemed to perceive a limit."

"It seems the enhancement of the Mad Dragon Physique is not without an upper bound."

"But that is only right; otherwise, even though I am only at the Third Realm, wouldn't I be able to slaughter even gods?"

After a self-deprecating laugh, Chen Ang seized the time to rest.

Once he had recovered sufficiently, he stood up and returned to the end of the passage.

After a glance at the Rending-Claw Dragon's corpse, Chen Ang turned his gaze to the other side.

A pool of fresh blood came into view.

The blood inside had a dark tint.

It made one wonder if this pool of blood contained deadly poison.

It was only because Chen Ang had his "golden finger" that he could tell this pool of sub-dragon blood had only benefits and no drawbacks.

"The battle is over; now is the time for the harvest."

Chen Ang curled his lips into a smile.

With a wave of his hand, his clothes vanished.

Without hesitation, Chen Ang stepped into it and sat down, letting the blood completely soak his body.

The blood within his body began to boil.

121: Trait activated, limit enhanced.

And just as Chen Ang was soaking in the blood pool.

On the other side.

Inside the palace.

In another passageway.

Three figures were moving forward slowly.

Wei Kai frowned and raised his hand.

The three of them stopped in their tracks immediately.

Zheng Wei asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Wei Kai furrowed his brows. "I think I heard a trace of a roar."

"A roar? How come I didn't hear it?"

The intelligence merchant, walking at the very back, asked upon hearing this, "Is it the commotion caused by the person you are looking for?"

Hearing this, Wei Kai nodded, lost in thought. "It's not impossible, but the sound was too faint. I don't know where it came from, nor am I sure if it's in the direction we are heading."

"Regardless of whether it's in this direction, he cannot escape. Let's hurry inside and find the treasures in this ruin," Zheng Wei urged.

Hearing this, Wei Kai and the intelligence merchant both nodded.

Faced with the treasures in the ruins, they decided to put the matter of Chen Ang aside for now.

Chen Ang was naturally unaware of this.

At this moment.

Chen Ang was soaking in the blood pool with his eyes closed, his entire body covered in blood, which was boiling, making his skin flush red.

It felt as if every muscle in his body was tearing apart.

A sharp pain swept through his entire body; someone with a weak will might have passed out from the pain.

But Chen Ang gritted his teeth and endured it.

Although painful.

He could also feel his body absorbing the essence contained within the blood pool.

Subconsciously, Chen Ang began to practice the Saint Dragon Breathing Method.

A sound like a dragon's roar erupted from Chen Ang's body.

Time passed.

One minute.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

A quarter of an hour.

Every minute and every second ticked by.

After an unknown amount of time.

Chen Ang opened his eyes abruptly and panted heavily.

He stood up and slowly walked out of the blood pool.

Just by taking a single step, Chen Ang could feel the changes in his body.

"Tsk, this is... did I even grow taller?"

Chen Ang looked down at his body; hmm, his "little brother" was also stronger.

This left Chen Ang looking surprised.

He hadn't expected this blood pool to have such an effect.

It looks like he needs to find an opportunity to test its functionality.

*Ahem.

Let's leave that aside for now.

Chen Ang waved his hand, and a bucket of water appeared in his grasp.

After washing the blood off his body, Chen Ang felt the power within him.

It had increased significantly.

However, just as Chen Ang had said earlier.

Not only had his strength increased, but most importantly, his height had grown, and there were other very obvious changes.

Take Chen Ang's body, for instance; even without him unleashing his Dragon Might, his body constantly exuded a fierce aura like that of a primordial beast.

In his pupils, a blood-red color would flash from time to time, appearing eerie while also making him seem somewhat cruel.

In short.

Now, just by standing there, Chen Ang would give people a faint sense of oppression.

If he were to lock eyes with someone, this sense of oppression would intensify.

This should be related to the blood pool.

The blood and essence in the pool basically came from the sub-dragon corpse at the end of the passage.

Even though these were failed sub-dragon experiments, they still possessed a trace of dragon bloodline, containing the aura of both dragon and beast.

And as Chen Ang's body absorbed the essence from the blood pool, this aura also surged into his body, merging into his physique.

It could be considered a pretty good change.

At least Chen Ang liked it very much.

And putting this aspect aside for a moment, after Chen Ang felt it again, his eyes brightened.

"The characteristic has been activated?!"

Yes.

It was activated.

This made Chen Ang feel unexpected.

He didn't expect the effect of this blood pool to be so great, not only making his strength increase but also activating the characteristic together.

It was just that after Chen Ang felt the function of this characteristic slightly, he couldn't help but fall silent.

A wry smile even appeared on his face.

"This is wanting to make my growth even more difficult."

With a stir of his thoughts, the attributes appeared before his eyes.

【Chen Ang.】

【Body: 918 (Limit: 1200).】

【Strength: 920 (Limit: 1200).】

【Agility: 919 (Limit: 1200).】

【Spirit: 791 (Limit: 1200).】

【Talent 1: Death Dragon Soldier (Characteristic: Armor Piercing, Dragon Muscle (four times strength boost), Life Stealing, Dragon Soldier.】

【Talent 2: Mad Dragon Physique (Blood Spring, Rapid Healing), Transformation, Dragon Body.】

【Skills: Ripping Claw (Perfect (three times strength boost)), Combat Technique, Dragon Might (Mutation, 0. times damage), Dragon Breath (Perfect (three times damage), Spiritual Protection (Entry).】

【Cultivation Method: Basic Ancient Yoga, Holy Dragon Breathing Method.】

His limit was originally one thousand.

But at this moment, all of them had increased by two hundred points.

That's right.

This was the characteristic of the Mad Dragon Physique, the ability of the Dragon Body.

Increasing the limit.

And every time he advances, this limit will expand again.

It is equivalent to saying, from now on.

Even if he meets other limit-talented individuals, Chen Ang's limit after every advancement will be higher than the other party's.

This characteristic cannot be seen for the time being.

But in the future, after Chen Ang's strength continues to lead, it will bring Chen Ang a huge improvement.

An improvement far beyond that of talented individuals of the same rank.

If one asks whether this characteristic ability is good, it is definitely good.

If one asks whether it is strong, it is definitely strong.

The reason Chen Ang smiled wryly is that the limit is raised, and every time he advances in the future, it will continue to be raised, so the resources he needs for growth will also become more and more.

Although excited, at the same time, he was also quite troubled.

Simply put, it was a happy trouble.

"Hoo."

Taking a deep breath.

Chen Ang rubbed his cheeks, threw out some messy thoughts, collected his expression, and returned to calm.

Swinging his fist, he breathed in the increased power, and Chen Ang sighed. "Forget it, this trouble of mine, if I say it out, it will probably attract the jealousy of many people."

"Although more resources are needed for growth in the future, it will eventually bring huge returns."

"Now I should hurry and leave here, and continue to explore."

As he spoke.

Chen Ang waved his hand.

His clothes appeared on his body.

Looking around, a look of regret flashed in his eyes.

What he regretted was the corpses here.

There were too, too many.

And they could all be considered precious Sub-Dragon flesh and blood.

It was a pity that they had been here for too long and could not be eaten.

This also made Chen Ang feel depressed about the faction that built this palace.

Tsk.

If all these corpses had been given to him at the beginning, not to mention anything else, selling them out could have sold for quite a lot of money.

Shaking his head, Chen Ang left.

There were no treasures left here for him to stay.

Returning along the passage.

Soon, Chen Ang returned to the main hall.

His gaze looked toward the other portals.

Besides the door he went to.

There were three other doors.

【Behind this door, although it leads to a warehouse, there is nothing inside.】

【Behind this door, it leads to the deeper part, where there are a large number of polluted monsters, and there is also nothing.】

【Behind this door, it leads to the location of the 'Dragon Nest', which is where some people once cultivated Sub-Dragons, and now it has been occupied by the Blood Sect, used specifically to create pollution products and conduct research, and your enemies entered it not long ago.】

Sixth update.

122: Dragon essence blood.

"Blood Sect?"

"Tsk, I said why this ghost place is so familiar, the style of this ruin is so similar to when I first encountered them."

"When these guys set up bases, do they change a decoration style?"

Chen Ang complained in his mouth.

His gaze looked at the last prompt, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his gaze flickering.

Enemies?

Alright.

He also knew who it was.

After all, he didn't have many enemies he could call enemies at the moment.

And they were enemies in this secret realm, so there was no need to think too much.

"I didn't expect them to be able to find this place, and they entered before me, but that's good, help me explore the way."

With a faint smile, Chen Ang pushed open the door and walked in.

In the dark passage, although he knew that someone had entered before him, Chen Ang was still cautious and used his golden finger to check.

【A passage leading to the source of this place, originally there were some polluted products, but because someone came before you, it was cleaned up, so you can move forward with peace of mind. By the way, they are still ahead.】

Fine.

Chen Ang nodded with peace of mind and lifted his foot to go deeper.

Moving forward all the way.

In a short while, light appeared before Chen Ang.

Vaguely, there was also the sound of fighting coming.

As his gaze flickered, Chen Ang looked up, and the prompt appeared again.

【Outside the passage, your enemies are fighting with a monster. If you enter at this time, it is best to pay attention to the right side, because there is a member of the Blood Sect peeping in secret, and he has a summoning scroll in his hand.】

Seeing this, a look of thought flashed in Chen Ang's eyes.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Ang continued to walk forward a few steps, squatted down, and secretly peeped at the end.
