Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

"Yanhuang Linglong True Blood……"

Yu Zhangsheng's gaze was obsessed; after sensing the aura of this drop of blood for a good while, he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, licked his lips, and only after a long moment did he withdraw his gaze. With a wave of his hand, Chi Lian emerged from his Inner Landscape.

"Ang ang ang!!"

Chi Lian flew low, circling around Yu Zhangsheng and roaring intimately; a pair of dragon eyes fell upon the Yanhuang Ling Beast True Blood, desire fully revealed in them.

"First there was Spirit Dragon True Bone, now there is Spirit Dragon True Blood. It finally forms a complete system; only now does it count as a true rebirth."

Yu Zhangsheng smiled faintly, rubbed Chi Lian's head, and while pondering, poured the Yanhuang Linglong True Blood from the jade bottle, bringing it to Chi Lian's mouth.

"Wu wu wu!!"

Chi Lian sniffed with its nose, then excitedly swallowed the true blood in one gulp.

【Consumed 1 drop of Yanhuang Linglong True Blood, successfully fed Chi Lian, gained 200000 Essence Points!】

"Hum hum hum!!!"

Suddenly, intense blue-yellow light flashed from Chi Lian's body, illuminating the Void; under the light, clusters of balefire danced on Chi Lian's body, terrifying high temperatures ravaging the brewing Void, twisting nothingness.

On the originally dark red balefire, golden patterns suddenly emerged, seeming to turn into fuel, instantly making the flames burn even more violently, the temperature rising to an astonishing degree.

"Ang ang ang!"

Chi Lian roared, its dragon face contorted, revealing a hint of pain; its whole body flickered, suddenly turning transparent, bones flashing with spirit light, crystal clear like crystal, and surrounding these bones were streams of blood rushing to Chi Lian's whole body.

This blood was dark red, yet also showed a bit of golden yellow, seeming to boil, as if golden flames were surging and burning within.

The entire Chi Lian was undergoing a complete rebirth! Consequently, even denser Dragon Might radiated wave after wave from Chi Lian's body, and the sound of Dragon Roar rippled through the Void in bursts.

【Successfully devoured Yanhuang Linglong True Blood, Chi Lian's bloodline purity increased, potential greatly enhanced! Physical strength greatly amplified! Innate divine abilities strengthened, flame control increased!】

The excited Dragon Roar sound abruptly paused; myriad brilliant lights flashed, finally contracting into Chi Lian. Compared to before, the once again refined Chi Lian gave a feeling of being even more "pure"; dragon eyes bright, flames at will, slender form, sacred golden patterns like flames faintly engraved upon it.

"Success."

Yu Zhangsheng smiled, sensing the increasingly pure aura on Chi Lian, his brows raising slightly.

With the integration of Yanhuang Linglong True Blood and Spirit Dragon True Bone, the current Chi Lian can be said to have thoroughly undergone rebirth; the snake portion in its bloodline has been completely sublimated, and through these repeated purifications, Chi Lian already counts as a true dragon-type Spirit Beast in the genuine sense; its current growth ceiling has transformed far too much compared to the beginning.

"Now, even without other opportunities, just cultivating normally, my Chi Lian should be able to reach Fifth Rank, right?"

Yu Zhangsheng stroked Chi Lian's dragon whiskers, a trace of leisure flashing in his eyes, and laughed heartily.

Different from Spirit Dragon True Bone, this drop of Yanhuang Linglong True Blood, though similar in level to the Spirit Dragon, was far too little in quantity; therefore, aside from raising Chi Lian's bloodline, it did not additionally grant it comprehension of new innate divine abilities.

But even so, for Yu Zhangsheng it was still a huge enhancement; the original Chi Lian was already a king-grade Spirit Beast among same-rank Spirit Beasts, and now it has risen another level, comparable to Imperial-level Spirit Beasts.

A Spirit Beast that can grow to Fifth Rank — that is what countless Beast Tamers dream of; Fifth Rank is equivalent to Human Cultivators' Spirit Severing, and wherever they are, they count as high-end combat power.

After playing with Chi Lian for a while, Yu Zhangsheng recalled it into his Inner Landscape, took a deep breath, looked at the negative ninety thousand military merit points on his Identity Token, lightly tapped his forehead, a pensive look in his eyes.

"Looks like I really need to think of ways to obtain military merit points; there are quite a few good things in there, all things I need……"

"Whether it's repaying debts or wanting to exchange for Extreme Yang Dawn Glow, without military merit it's impossible…… this trip to Luo Ya Shen Yuan, I need to plan carefully……"

A gloomy light flashed in Yu Zhangsheng's eyes; he pondered silently for a long time.

Military merit points are not bad to obtain; whether from daily accepting and completing Quests, or killing Qingzhou Army Soldiers, one can gain military merit points, but military merit rank — that thing is comparatively hard to obtain; and recently, the best way to obtain military merit rank is undoubtedly the trip to Luo Ya Shen Yuan.

"Even the most ordinary Golden Core Prodigy is worth one Third Class Military Merit and ten thousand military merit points…… ten Third Class Military Merits can exchange for one Second Class Military Merit, but Second Class Military Merit cannot exchange for First Class Military Merit."

"Then, if I want to obtain First Class Military Merit, there are basically only two methods: one is obtaining Luoya Tokens — there are seven Luoya Tokens total, any one is worth one First Class Military Merit and 200000 military merit points…… the second is the Bounty List; there are quite a few people on it worth high-level military merit, and these are all my targets……"

Yu Zhangsheng licked his lips, a fervent color flashing in his eyes, quite moved.

"At the same time, my bounty quota will definitely be noticed by the other side's group; to a certain extent, for me it's not entirely a bad thing — at least maybe I won't need to deliberately search for them, they'll automatically come knocking, saving me trouble……"

Thinking thus, Yu Zhangsheng's heart tightened; regarding Qingzhou Prodigies, he did not underestimate them, but thought of them with even greater importance.

Qingzhou differs from Wuzhou's sect-style management; it is a centrally unified imperial rule, which also means the other side is inevitably a single dominant power, with resources even more concentrated.

Under such circumstances, Prodigies cultivated by a single dynasty, in theory, would only be stronger than Wuzhou, not weaker; at least, Yu Zhangsheng has never heard of anyone in Wuzhou besides himself having a Heavenly Dao Golden Core, while the other side's Crown Prince seems to be a Heavenly Dao Golden Core; although unknown if he also possesses Heavenly Dao Qi, the mere fact of Golden Core Peak cultivation base makes Yu Zhangsheng deeply wary.

If truly facing him, Yu Zhangsheng has no confidence in suppressing the other party, and the other party's target is inevitably also on himself.

"The Ancestor said this trip to Luo Ya Shen Yuan, countless people are watching me; crises abound indeed, but peril and opportunity often coexist; only by continuously strengthening one's own strength can one calmly cope with these crises……"

Yu Zhangsheng fell silent, secretly clenched his fist, shook his head, thought for a moment, walked out of the tent, and circled the nearby military camp. Military merit was temporarily impossible on his end; being able to overdraw was already setting a precedent, so his side naturally could not continue demanding things from the Ancestor; next, his focus would be on preserving his own peak state.

Just as he walked out of the tent, he saw Li Minghan pacing with hands behind his back near his own tent, a conflicted expression on his face. Yu Zhangsheng was stunned, walked over and asked: "What is it? Something the matter?"

"Zhangsheng?" Li Minghan pursed his lips, hands stiffening, looking at Yu Zhangsheng with a hesitant expression, a trace of unnaturalness on his face, slightly awkward.

"Uh uh……"

Yu Zhangsheng's eyes blurred; he looked at Li Minghan in surprise — it was rare to see the other party with such a demeanor — so he smiled and waved his hand: "Speak, what thing needs my help?"

"Hehe, as expected nothing escapes you; indeed there is such a matter, might need your help."

Li Minghan laughed dryly, scratched the back of his head, no longer hesitating, organized his words in his mind, then told Yu Zhangsheng the whole story in detail.

Yu Zhangsheng listened quietly, brows slightly furrowed; as the words progressed, they slowly relaxed, sorting through his thoughts, looking thoughtful.

Li Minghan's words were very simple: roughly, beneath Luo Ya Shen Yuan, there is suspected to be a Spirit Beast he needs; however, this Spirit Beast is powerful, and relying on him alone, the difficulty of contracting it is not small, so he wants Yu Zhangsheng's assistance.

Li Minghan's words were very simple: roughly, a Spirit Beast he needed was suspected to exist beneath Luo Ya Shen Yuan, but this Spirit Beast was powerful, and relying on him alone, the difficulty of forming a Contract was not small, therefore he wanted Yu Zhangsheng's help.

Yu Zhangsheng pondered inwardly, recalling information about Wan Du Ya Long, his gaze flickering.

Wan Du Ya Long counts as a lower form of Wan Du Linglong; it is an extremely dangerous but very powerful dragon species.

Its ferocity is renowned among same-rank; disposition cruel and explosive, contracting difficulty not small. And it is not picky about food, even daring to prey on other same-rank dragon-type Demonic Beasts.

Its greatest characteristic is the terrifying toxicity that ranks among the top at same rank; legend says this race's body contains faint traces of the Ancestral Beast Tian Qiong Lizard and True Dragon Eternal Sleep Poison Dragon bloodlines, so its physique is huge, and those poisoned often fall into eternal sleep within a quarter-hour to several hours if not detoxified.

Its greatest Feature is its terrifying Poison, ranking among the top in its Tier; rumors say this race's body Contains faint traces of the Ancestral Beast Tian Qiong Lizard and the True Dragon Eternal Sleep Poison Dragon bloodlines, so its physique is massive, and those Poisoned often fall into an Eternal slumber within a quarter-hour to several hours without an antidote.

Due to the extremely few sightings of this kind of Demonic Beast, or rather, very few people who saw this thing managed to escape alive, there is relatively little literature on this Spirit Beast, and it is all found within the Linglong Sect's literature that Yu Zhangsheng saw the relevant description and had some impression.

"Unexpectedly, in this Abyss, even this kind of world-rare Spirit Beast exists?"

"If it were normal times, there would be no way to encounter such a Spirit Beast; only the opening of the Abyss provides the opportunity."

Yu Zhangsheng's throat moved, a trace of strange color appearing on his face, somewhat surprised; this kind of Spirit Beast is of considerable value, without a doubt, it is also a king-grade Tamed Beast, and in terms of potential, it is not much different from his own Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon.

Growing normally, with a bit of opportunity reaching Rank Five should not be a problem; if it can be Contracted, for Li Minghan, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

And he himself now already possesses five Tamed Beasts; continuing to Contract more is not a good thing, therefore regarding this Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon, Yu Zhangsheng actually had no other thoughts.

In other words, it originally belongs to Li Minghan; Yu Zhangsheng naturally would not set his mind on it, so after contemplating for a while, Yu Zhangsheng looked up, meeting Li Minghan's expectant yet slightly apprehensive gaze, and smiled as he nodded:

"Good, later in the Abyss, you guide me on how to walk; let's first go subdue the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon for you, then talk; such a Spirit Beast, the sooner it's subdued the better, to avoid long nights and many dreams, and being preempted by others."

Li Minghan heard this, excitement overflowing on his face beyond words; he immediately embraced Yu Zhangsheng, patting his back, laughing 'hehe' with a tone of gratitude, saying: "Alright, then I won't be polite; no more unnecessary formalities; many thanks, Changsheng; if there's any problem in the future where I can be of use, just tell me."

"Family brothers, why be polite."

Yu Zhangsheng said with a smile; after keeping this matter in mind, seeing Li Minghan's satisfied demeanor, they chatted idly for a while, then headed toward the Military Camp.

Watching Yu Zhangsheng's background, for a long time, Li Minghan deeply exhaled a breath, calmed his excited mood, gently pursed his lips; a trace of conflicted intention flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Yu Zhangsheng's agreement did not surprise him.

"The distance between me and Changsheng now is still somewhat large... If this time, I successfully gain the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon, plus my accumulation over these years..."

"Then in the subsequent Wan Beast Tower new generation Heaven's Pride Selection, I can also have a few more points of confidence, thereby gaining more say... reaching a more Core place, only then can I better give Changsheng some help... hope this trip, everything goes smoothly."

A breath of Turbid Qi exhaled, Li Minghan shook his head, suppressed these thoughts, then withdrew his gaze, turned and returned to his own Tent; since he wants to subdue the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon, there are still some preparatory tasks that need perfecting.

And the Wan Beast Tower, as a famous Continent Chamber of Commerce Organization, its power is vast, naturally unimaginable; in a borderland like Wuzhou, the power revealed is merely the tip of the iceberg.

While it likes to befriend other sects' Heaven's Pride, for its own disciples' Heaven's Pride, it naturally also has a set of Selection methods; the Excellent advance, and can even rise straight to the top, status rising with the tide, gaining more Resource Tilt.

Although Li Minghan is merely a Branch Tower Master's son, he also has the qualification to Contest; this represents opportunity.

This kind of Chamber of Commerce, not to mention other things, its Resources are massive, making people envious; nurturing a Daoneng is not difficult...

Li Minghan obviously already has his own plans; in fact, not only him, whether Zhang Tianwen or Shen Xingchen, all have their own thoughts.

………

After bidding farewell to Li Minghan, Yu Zhangsheng also did not linger in conflict; he circled around the Military Camp once; at this moment, time had also unknowingly arrived at Late Night; the bright moon hung high, rippling open the clouds and mist, revealing stars dotted about, sprinkling endless starlight.

Moonlight like water tilted down, falling under the main tent, turning into dots of decoration; the Military Camp was Quiet, only the occasional footsteps of soldiers lightly rippling open; faintly visible Blood Scent flowed in the Void; killing intent rose. (Chapter End)
