Protagonist:

Chen Yi

The phantom dragon let out a relieved "ho-ho" sound and began examining its body. One moment it turned into a double-barreled hunting rifle, the next a scoped hunting rifle, then a dainty little revolver. When it was having fun, its feet turned into car wheels while its body became a gun barrel...

"At least saved tens of thousands of hours of training." Recalling the Ape Holy Knight, the phantom dragon's chrysanthemum tightened for a moment, squeezing out a blackish-gray object pinched into a bullet.

The mount's pressure was releasing, but Chen Yi's pressure was increasing.

"Critical state" is equivalent to the Magic Net treating a certain external person or object as a part of its own terminal, thereby infusing a large amount of Source Energy for transformation.

The duration of this state depends on the transformation efficiency; whether too fast or too slow, both would alter the "terminal's" frequency, thereby ending the "critical state."

Usually, the occasional "critical state" is often brief — several hours or a dozen-odd hours is already worthy of admiration. The little lizard's 24 hours was already lucky good fortune, yet Chen Yi showed no signs of stopping.

The rooftop shop went from silent to lively, then from clamorous to peaceful, then from calm to noisy again. The phantom dragon wandered boredly around the abandoned subway platform, like a well-fed rat looking for a place to watch a movie...

After two days and three nights, Chen Yi finally opened his eyes, extremely, extremely slowly: "I'm hungry."

The little lizard came running excitedly, but hearing his words, it squatted down disinterestedly and said: "I was hungry long ago. I've already eaten three seats, two water pipes, about thirty meters or so. The rails and transformer room are all left for you, but I already took down the station sign over there..."

Halfway through speaking, Chen Yi closed his eyes.

His eyelids were truly heavy, as if countless earthworms were burrowing inside.

The Source Energy's transformation had excited his cells, fatigued his spirit, and depleted his strength.

Unknown how much time passed; when he woke again, the little lizard was already doing push-ups automatically and consciously. The metal on the ground was missing a layer, looking as if gnawed by a dog.

"What time is it?" Chen Yi asked, shaking his dry, parched lips.

The little lizard flipped over in a tumble, showing its belly: "You should ask, what day and what time."

Chen Yi shrugged — actually, just lifting his shoulders was extremely difficult. He forced out an ugly smile, pulling at his cheeks: "You sound a bit smarter."

"A Level 3 Combat phantom dragon, how could it not be smart."

"What level are ordinary sub-dragons usually?"

"I'm not yet an adult." The Sub-Dragon Lord answered evasively.

"How long has it been?"

"90 hours."

"4 days?"

"3 days and 18 hours." It was showing off its arithmetic ability.

Chen Yi moved his stiff body, slowly making his way toward the subway.

Although it wasn't exactly 22:30, the subway still started moving forward without the slightest change after taking Chen Yi aboard.

The little lizard asked: "Going to the West Continent?"

It still preferred that kind of high-heat, high-humidity environment.

"Not today." Chen Yi left all 5 cubic meters of supplies on the platform. His body was quite weak; if he encountered danger on the West Continent, it would be an extremely bad situation.

The Saint Qiao Kingdom arrived in an instant. The little lizard lay obediently on Chen Yi's shoulder, like a genuine pet.

"Welcoming the Master..."

There were more Saint Qiao people on the Da Fa Shi Ta now, especially Kingdom Knights and Red Robe Mages — their numbers had increased by at least half.

Noticing Chen Yi's gaze, Timothy introduced with a smile: "Master, I'm very happy to tell you that the Saint Qiao Kingdom's strength has increased again. We have newly promoted Red Robe Mages, and two Kingdom Knights."

Chen Yi pulled at his cheek flesh, forcing a smile: "Not bad."

Seeing he wasn't very interested, Timothy bowed and withdrew, finding it amusing himself: Indeed, to the Master, Red Robe Mages and Kingdom Knights obviously only count as the most ordinary ranks. Perhaps in other realms he has even stronger agents.

The crystal screen began to flicker at this moment, a row of familiar or unfamiliar terms appearing on it.

Seeing the numerous quantity, the little lizard couldn't help asking: "Just how many levels did you advance?"

"You should call me Master." Chen Yi felt a bit tired, decisively sat cross-legged on the ground, and said: "Level 8 Combat."

The phantom dragon jealously howled: "About to reach Combat pinnacle? How is that possible!"

Although above Combat there exists the existence of Divine Arts, the reason Holy Knights are called "Holy" is because they believe in different temples, thereby learning different energy usage methods and some special techniques. In other words, in terms of pure power enhancement, the human body's pinnacle is Level 9 Combat.

It is creatures like sub-dragons that, once they cross Level 9 Combat, their massive and robust muscles can withstand greater pressure.

Chen Yi felt a slight pride, but he would not reveal this emotion — just like a Boss always treats money as dirt, a philosopher always rejoices not in things nor grieves in self, a Leader always treats people equally without arrogance or humility. Everyone always likes to hide their deepest desires deep, deep away.

On one side of the subway gate, the crystal screen's purchase information was fully displayed.

There were already the Level 4 model of Scroll, Level 3 Green Breath Berry — a one-time increase of 2 levels, Level 4 Luoti Divine Oil and Level 2 Curse Scroll capable of controlling 20 newtons (2 kilograms) of objects... the ever-unchanging Level 4 Skill Copying Rare Scroll...

These were all expected good things, but relatively speaking, the Level 5 Energy Recovery Potion was more exciting. Besides having the effect of recovering energy, it could also increase the body's recovery speed by 100%. One could imagine that higher-level Energy Recovery Potions possess even higher levels of physical recovery speed.

Simultaneously, a new high-level magic wand also appeared on the crystal screen's list.

Unlike last time's wand that merely had a Focus attribute, the wand named "Phantom" solidified the skill: Phantom Clone: Use crystal, 1 to 9 clones appear around, possessing part of the main body's abilities.

Shocking skill description!

Timothy could synchronously see the list on the crystal screen. He guessed Chen Yi might not understand well, waved to get the wand, and said: "Master, 'Phantom' is also a capture from the Alliance. Its function is to manifest another body outside the main body. Depending on the crystal consumed, the manifestation time differs. A colorless small crystal lasts about 3 minutes or so; a purple crystal lasts 30 minutes or more."

"Based on the user's mana and other states, the manifested body possesses the main body's attributes and functions. Before manifestation it only consumes mana, but after manifestation, it will attribute its last remaining matter and energy to the main body. In other words, if your manifested other body wears new clothes, when the manifestation time ends you will also be wearing new clothes. And if your manifested body loses an arm, your main body will also be unable to exert strength when controlling that arm. Changes like blood loss, diarrhea, and the like will similarly be copied from the manifested body to the main body..."

Since it involved injury, Chen Yi did not want to imply to the Saint Qiao people that he would also encounter the same problems, so he merely listened and did not speak.

After a slight calculation, he decided to purchase in order of need, then began clicking on the crystal screen.

"Phantom Wand, Level 3 Green Breath Berry, Level 5 Energy Recovery Potion, Level 4 Luoti Divine Oil, Level 2 Curse Ink, Level 4 Strength Scroll..." When he confirmed the fifth item, the crystal screen stopped flickering.

"Mr. Chen, please confirm the quantity." Timothy was practically happier than Chen Yi. Watching the 500 million gold coin debt shrink to a quarter remaining, the Master added 35 million gold coins of debt just because of the Phantom Wand — practically making it impossible for the Saint Qiao Kingdom not to become hegemonic.

Heaven knows how many countries on this continent can produce a figure of 600 million gold coins. Actually it's 660 million gold coins; counting interest, it actually exceeds 700 million.

As for the merely rare Phantom Wand — a good thing where whoever gets it benefits, but no Mage is willing to pay 10 million gold coins for it. Not that it isn't valuable, but people simply don't have that much money.

The Mages began transporting Wu Li Fang, and Holy Knight Grendel Title stepped forward without wasting a single second, asking respectfully: "Master, shall we begin Cultivation?"

"Alright. Oh, it seems I have advanced recently."

"Congratulations, Master." Whether they were working or not, everyone saluted respectfully in unison.

Three seconds later, those who had things to do continued doing them, while the Red Robes and Kingdom Knights who were there for show began to withdraw in an orderly fashion. Since the war was going smoothly, more and more soldiers were returning to the Holy Qiao Royal City for vacation, and the Kingdom was brewing a new wave of powerful offensive strikes.

The only ones not worried about the war were the Holy Knights, who, from behind the door, were checking the fluctuations of the Magic Net.

In an instant, Grendel's cheeks twitched: "Combat Skill Level 8……"

"Impossible." If the Holy Knight Ape wanted to look, Chen Yi ignored him, only tossing the Illusory Dragon onto the Ground for him to inspect.

A veterinarian shouldn't meddle in human affairs.

"It is indeed Combat Skill Level 8." After Holy Knight Grendel Title gave his affirmation, he said: "Master, since this body of yours has just advanced, please rest for a Period of Time first, and then proceed with high-volume Exercise."

"How long is a Period of Time?"

"At least 10 days."

Chen Yi Laughed and nodded. Ten days was merely a small vacation.

He did not know, however, that in the Saint Qiao Kingdom, for many people, martial arts were life itself. The result of resting was very likely to turn a high-value life into a low-value life.

Compared to that, Holy Knight Ape's surprise was much smaller; a Level 3 Body Technique sub-dragon could only be considered normal.

The former merely gave a serious reminder: "You might grow teeth recently, so pay attention to hygiene, eat fewer hard Metals, pay attention to nutrition, don't be picky, eat some light Metals as well……"

"Can it also eat things like Rubber?"

Chen Yi asked, not Relieved.

Holy Knight Ape bowed and said: "No Problem, Master. A sub-dragon's tolerance to Environment is very good. If its teeth rot from overuse during teething, just pull them out and let them grow back; it's just a bit painful……"

The Illusory Dragon's eyes were brimming with tears; teething was more than just a bit of pain!
