Chapter 408: Smashing Open the Dragon King's Head, Inside Lies Something Good

"Kill a Level 60 Dragon Knight, Experience +2,400,000, Military Merit +3,000"

"Kill a Level 59 Dragon Mage, Experience +2,360,000, Military Merit +2,000"

"Kill a Dragon War General, Experience +7,100,000, Military Merit +100,000"

"During the fierce battle, a flood of information kept pouring in, but Jiang Chen had no time to examine it closely."

"It wasn't until the battle ended that he had time to scrutinize the data."

"For Dragon Race members below Level 70, regardless of profession, the ratio of level to experience is fixed at forty thousand times the level."

"Military Merit differs slightly: Levels 40–49 grant 1,000, Levels 50–59 grant 2,000, and Levels 60 and above grant 3,000."

"However, the Dragon War General is an exception."

"Being at least Level 70, both its experience and Military Merit are worlds apart from those of Dragons below Level 70."

"A Dragon War General corresponds to a Top-tier Professional among the Human Race, and those who reach Level 70 have already completed their second Bloodline Awakening."

"The Human Race's third Job Change is guaranteed 100%, with no chance of failure."

"But a Dragon Race's Bloodline Awakening can potentially fail."

"Therefore, among the Dragon Race, individuals who become Dragon War Generals are elites, equivalent to geniuses in the Human Race."

"Their experience has reached one hundred thousand times their level."

"A Level 71 Dragon War General directly granted Jiang Chen 7,100,000 experience, while Military Merit surged to 100,000."

"After the battle, Jiang Chen's experience jumped from 2% straight to 20%, and Military Merit poured in fiercely."

"The glow on the Military Badge was exceptionally dazzling, with a purple star shining on it."

"One-star Divine General!"

"From this moment, Jiang Chen became a One-star Divine General."

"The Skeletons quickly climbed the pillar and rescued Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin from above."

"Wu Lingdong, having escaped death, felt both relieved and a bit guilty, \"Brother Jiang, I really owe you this time. \""

"Jiang Chen understood his meaning, \"If the roles were reversed, you would come to rescue me too. \""

"Wu Lingdong's body shivered."

"Jiang Chen was right; had Jiang Chen been in dire straits, he would have come to the rescue."

"Even knowing it would be a death sentence, he would still go."

"Jiang Chen said, \"Your safety is the best outcome. \""

"Yang Qin replied, \"But it seems the Dragon Race sent a Dragon King; why haven't we seen it? \""

"A massive surge of energy erupted, then everything returned to calm."

"Jiang Chen turned his head and saw Hong Jishi carrying a shattered corpse, flying toward him."

"\"Here it comes. \""

"Hong Jishi flew over, tossed the corpse casually, and it landed on the ground like trash."

"He clapped his hands, \"All set! So the Dragon Race's Dragon King is no different, not even a scratch. \""

"The Dragon King of the Dragon Race is equivalent to a Divine Level being in the Human Race."

"Its state of death was, however, terribly grim."

"Wings shattered, the body bore a huge hole, and both arms and legs were broken."

"All over its body, the only part still relatively intact was its head."

"Its eyes were wide open, refusing to close in death."

"Even in death, fear still lingered in its eyes."

"Hong Jishi pointed a finger, and two drops of Dragon King blood flew out, landing before Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin."

"It was called a drop, but it was actually about half a fist in size."

"The Dragon King's blood shimmered with a hazy luster, exuding a pressing aura."

"\"Come, come, fresh Dragon King blood—you two are lucky; each take a drop, and there are plenty of benefits. \""

"Hong Jishi shouted."

"Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin quickly saluted Hong Jishi, \"Greetings, Lord Hong Shen. \""

"Hong Jishi smiled, \"Since you're friends of Xiao Chen, no need for such formality. Quickly eat the Dragon King blood; it won't stay fresh for long. \""

"Then he turned to Jiang Chen and said, \"You don't need to eat it; this thing is of no use to you. \""

"Jiang Chen also knew his attributes were already too high; the good stuff he'd consumed or used before far outweighed this, and the Dragon King blood was indeed useless to him."

"Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin, excited, swallowed the blood."

"It lacked the expected metallic taste; instead it was somewhat sweet."

"As the fresh blood entered their throats, a powerful energy instantly erupted, sweeping over their bodies."

"In the blink of an eye, their injuries healed, and all attributes increased by 500."

"It was far superior to the effects of low-level Miracle Potions."

"Seeing their amazed expressions, Hong Jishi laughed heartily, \"How's that? The effect's pretty good, right? \""

"\"What a pity, this thing only works fresh; after a few minutes it becomes useless. \""

"Saying that, Hong Jishi punched its head."

"The head exploded, and Hong Jishi retrieved a gem-like object from it."

"The gem was hexagonal, crystal-clear and very beautiful."

"Jiang Chen felt a slight stir; this gem resembled a Life Core by eighty or ninety percent."

"\"You know what this is, right? \" Hong Jishi asked."

"The others shook their heads; Wu Lingdong replied, \"Never seen one before. \""

Hong Jishi said, "Not having seen it is normal; it's my first time seeing it too."

He is still having his first encounter with a Dragon Clan War King.

Before today, one could only encounter a Dragon Clan War King in the Deep Space of the Ancient Battlefield.

Hong Jishi doesn't go there often, so he basically never runs into one.

Even if he did encounter one, it wouldn't necessarily decide life or death.

This time Hong Jishi secured the first kill of a Dragon Clan War King.

"I haven't seen this thing before, but I know it's called Dragon Crystal," he said.

"Only the heads of Dragon Kings of the Dragon Race have this thing."

"A Dragon King is not a deity; after its corpse cools, its blood is useless. But its bones and hide still have many uses, worth far more than a Platinum Grade Weapon."

"Even if you add up all its bones and hide, they still can't match this Dragon Crystal."

Hong Jishi's words made Wu Lingdong and Yang Qin widen their eyes.

Jiang Chen knew that his teacher was teasing again.

If Li Xueru were here, he would definitely retort.

The bit of knowledge ink in Hong Jishi's belly is simply not enough to read.

Hong Jishi gathered the Dragon Crystal and the Dragon King's corpse.

Jiang Chen then asked, "Brother Wu, how did you get captured by the Dragon Race? What about the other three members of your team?"

Upon mentioning the other three, Wu Lingdong's eyes showed sorrow, "They all fell in battle."

"I also don't know how the Dragon Race learned of my relationship with you; on our way to the Instance, they suddenly attacked us."

"The Dragon Race's professionals are very strong; we couldn't defeat them."

"Three brothers..."

Wu Lingdong said, his eyes rising with anger, "In the future I will definitely break into the Dragon Race, exterminate them, and avenge my brothers."

Jiang Chen sighed.

He hadn't interacted much with those three, only exchanged a few words.

But each time, whenever Wu Lingdong spoke, they would unhesitatingly stand behind him.

They were three brothers who didn't talk much, yet were very good.

Jiang Chen whispered, "There will be a chance. Brother Wu, you are already being watched by the Dragon Race; don't stay on the Alien Battlefield, return to the Empire."

"Moreover, you're about to change jobs; if you want to break into the Dragon Race, you must change jobs to become an Earth Knight."

Wu Lingdong is now Level 39; it won't be long before he reaches Level 40.

Compared to the Alien Battlefield, the Empire is much safer.

And Wu Lingdong still needs to change jobs, which requires a lot of preparation.

Hong Jishi said, "I promised Xiao Chen that I'll handle your job change. When you reach Level 40, contact Xiao Chen, and I'll help you change jobs."

With Li Xueru present, one can set up the perfect Job Transfer Array, and using some Rare materials can increase Wu Lingdong's chances of becoming an Earth Knight.

Wu Lingdong, with firm belief, said, "I must change jobs to become an Earth Knight."

Hong Jishi smiled, saying that such belief is a good thing.

He could see that Wu Lingdong is a decent person, and Jiang Chen hasn't made the wrong friends.

"Lao Li, take us back."

Hong Jishi shouted loudly.

The Shenlong Tower appeared in the sky, its brilliant light bathing the few of them.

The Alien Battlefield fell quiet again.

This deep black land possesses an automatic purification ability.

It won't be long before everything here is erased.

The Dragon Race this time can be called a massive defeat and loss, with troops and generals lost.

One Dragon Clan War King, twelve Dragon Seat War Generals, a ten‑thousand‑strong army, and twenty warships.

The loss cannot be said to be small.

Jiang Chen is still living well, unharmed.

Dragon Race garrison.

A terrifying aura rose and spread, and a giant dragon phantom appeared in the sky.

The angry roar echoed across the heavens, lingering for a long time.

Through the Teleportation Array, orderly troops were teleported over.

These Dragon Race soldiers wore identical armor, looked exactly the same, even down to the smallest details.

Their levels were either Level 59 or Level 60, with little difference.

Their appearance carried a hint of eeriness.
