Chapter 48: Never before has it been so wonderful

However, before entering, Mu Yi needed to make a small preparation.

As an exploratory successor of the Military Strategist, he intended to try a completely new approach he hadn't had a chance to try in the dungeon before.

Dragon Tiger Fight!

A fairly famous dish, but under normal circumstances it should be made with eel to represent dragon and pork to represent tiger.

In abnormal circumstances, it should also be snake and cat cooked together.

However, tigers are also feline, so there isn't much difference.

The snake and tiger meat had already been processed in the dungeon before, and he also used snake hearts and tiger hearts to make two new blood-activating soups.

Each carried the effects Snake Poison and Tiger Might, once again proving that this blood-activating soup is a product of the mind.

"Snake Poison: Toxic Resistance +1"

"Tiger Might: Charm +1, Intimidation Effect +1"

These two effects are rather obscure, especially Tiger Might; if Snake Poison could at least be related to the ingredients, then Tiger Might is completely unrealistic.

Could eating a tiger's heart actually increase one's courage?

Mu Yi was actually more curious about what effect a fox heart would produce, but at the time, to achieve a fatal blow, he pierced the fox's heart, causing the production to completely fail, creating a pot of ultimate dark cuisine.

As a warrior, Li Tian pulled for a full day and night, finally even throwing away the pot.

"Zongwang Prompt: You are attempting to perform a Soldier Technique crafting, currently undergoing a willpower check……"

"Willpower check successful, Soldier Technique crafting level determination in progress……"

"【Wealth Luck】 participating in determination……"

"Zongwang Prompt: You have created a brand-new Soldier Technique formula, the spiritual radiance is flickering, and you have glimpsed the mystery within!"

"Your perception permanently increased by 1 point (16→17)"

In a daze, Mu Yi seemed to have seen countless secrets, but then it seemed as if he had seen nothing at all.

But he realized that this perception increase was not solely from this Soldier Technique crafting; he had found a way to improve his perception attribute through independent training.

Using innate combat slaughter, mobilizing military formation cloud energy, crafting technique formulas, and worshiping gods to oppose divinity, each school of the Military Strategist allowed his perception to continually accumulate, until this new formula's emergence let him achieve sudden breakthrough after accumulated preparation.

Mu Yi could feel that the creation of his new formula this time was a complex contact at the will level, or rather a sacrifice.

His perception attribute increased more from this creation's feedback, giving a feeling akin to the merit feedback for creating new things in primordial novels.

To Zongwang, his creation might not be novel, but for the material plane of the main world he currently inhabits, this is a completely new creation.

Dragon Tiger Fight (recipe)

Type: Soldier Technique Formula

Quality: Purple Epic

Effect:

Perform a willpower check; if successful, gain the state "Dragon Essence Tiger Ferocity".

Dragon Essence Tiger Ferocity: For a limited time, gain +1 Strength, +1 Constitution, +1 Agility, and also gain Stamina Recovery and Energy Recovery effects.

If the check fails, gain Stamina Recovery and Energy Recovery effects.

【Specific formula as follows: meat chunks of biological level 5 or higher snake creatures, meat chunks of biological level 10 or higher tiger creatures, scallions to taste, cooking wine to taste, star anise to taste……】

Mu Yi was startled to find that there were actually no side effects at all.

This quality…… Mu Yi always felt that this thing might have gotten lucky from the first innovation; no matter how you look at it, it seems unlikely to have such a good effect.

Holding a reverent heart for this unique, solitary-colored dish, Mu Yi put the soup in the pot, whose meat was now indistinguishable, into his mouth.

"Check successful!"

Mu Yi ignored Zongwang's prompt; the moment the soup entered his mouth, the feedback from the tip of his tongue's taste buds intoxicated him.

"Delicious! Supreme delicious!" Mu Yi felt he had never eaten anything so delicious.

Mu Yi wolfed down the entire pot of food.

Just as he was still savoring it, he felt a surge of heat rising from his stomach, flowing to his limbs and finally gathering in his heart.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Mu Yi could feel his heart beating vigorously, like a fish about to die of thirst thrown into the sea; he had never felt such abundant energy.

He felt he could kick open an old yellow ox, harness a plow for tilling, and plow for three days and nights.

The excess energy made him feel as if every cell in his body was roaring.

"Enter this month's plane secret realm challenge dungeon: Giant Dragon Treasury?"

"Yes!"

"500 Zongwang Disaster Coins have been deducted, now transmitting the character into the plane secret realm……"

Familiar dizziness swirled in his mind; when Mu Yi opened his eyes again, the scenery before him was already unfamiliar.

A dim cave, not very large, but its passage was sufficient for Mu Yi to move freely.

Faint phosphorescence scattered on the walls on both sides, coming from moss-like plants, making the cave dim yet still roughly visible.

The cave transmitted a clinking striking sound, as if someone were mining.

These facts flashed through Mu Yi's mind, followed by the heat already rushing to his head; he didn't want to continue analyzing, he now just wanted to fight fiercely.

"Thunder Flash!"

Mu Yi's form turned into a bolt of lightning, instantly charging into the depths of the cave.

Mu Yi, incarnated as lightning, suddenly felt the world was different; before his perception broke through, he hadn't felt any difference, and the sensation of using Thunder Flash was like watching a frame-by-frame animation, where the scenery would change in the next instant.

It was hard to control his landing point, usable only for rushing, unable to play any role in combat.

However, this time, the breakthrough in perception allowed Mu Yi to see a different scenery.

He could perceive the process of embodying lightning; this feeling was much like when Time Confusion is activated, everything around becomes sluggish while only he maintains his original speed.

Does self‑acceleration equal enemy deceleration?

Mu Yi's mind flashed with this strange inequality.

However, he could only sense the changes around him, unable to make any alterations; his agility attribute was still insufficient to grasp the speed of embodying lightning.

However, the good news is that he can finally know his landing moment and the surrounding environment, which greatly enhances the practical significance of Thunder Flash.

The thunder light faded, and Mu Yi's figure appeared before a crowd of Dog-Headed Humanoids.

Unlike the cannon fodder lumped together with goblins, fish people, and skeleton soldiers in stereotypical impressions, the Dog-Headed Humanoids before Mu Yi were literally dog-headed humanoids.

They possessed human-like bodies, but with a dog's head, resembling the legendary Anubis somewhat, yet their vertical pupils revealed their true nature.

Dog-Headed Humanoids with dragon blood flowing in their bodies are still Dog-Headed Humanoids.

Even the lowest-grade Dog-Headed Humanoids, level 5, could tear apart even that Goblin Leader if he came, leaving only fragments.
