NOVPUB"He can’t be stronger than me!"
Gu Lie appeared very calm. Through his cultivation journey, he had endured many trials. Born ordinary, yet reaching this stage was all thanks to his one-in-a-billion Martial Arts talent!
Within the entire Divine Emperor Dynasty, he was among the top!
And now, within the Transforming Dragon Gate, he had proven this very point, earning the recognition of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint. It was believed that, with normal cultivation, he had a chance of achieving Martial Saint status before the arrival of his life’s limit, a view shared by the Heavenly Gods of the Divine Emperor Dynasty regarding him!
Gu Lie didn’t believe there was anyone here stronger than himself, not even the Thirteenth Prince, a direct descendant of a Martial Saint.
"Dao Wufeng... has gone in," Ba Yi and Ba Chen, the two brothers, watched as Su Changkong stepped into the Transforming Dragon Gate.
This Dao Wufeng, a strong figure who had only gradually become famous in recent years, was shrouded in mystery. Yet, now that Gu Lie had also received the recognition of the remnant soul of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint, his entering the Transforming Dragon Gate seemed to hold little benefit.
Upon stepping into the Transforming Dragon Gate, Su Changkong felt countless streams of golden gas flowing inside it. That was the power of the Divine Skill "Dragon Transformation," enveloping his body, refining his physique.
It made Su Changkong feel warm all over, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
"Hmm? It doesn’t seem to have much effect on me!"
Su Changkong frowned inwardly; the impact of the Transforming Dragon Gate was not as significant as he had imagined. Although the small-dragon-like golden gas was refining his body, the effect was average at best.
"Pass through the Transforming Dragon Gate," Su Changkong contemplated. He looked up at the opposite side, the exit of the Transforming Dragon Gate. He took steps toward the exit. While the distance seemed short, it was not. The Thirteenth Prince had taken nearly half an hour to pass through.
As he walked through the Transforming Dragon Gate, Su Changkong experienced the subtleties of those gases. They were like Spiritual Energy, but clearly a higher grade. This was truly the force derived from divine abilities.
This force was too mysterious, and with such limited time, Su Changkong found it hard to discern its true nature.
"He’s moving... too fast, isn’t he?"
To the onlookers, there was some astonishment because in the space of the Transforming Dragon Gate, they saw Su Changkong advancing steadily and rapidly, as if there was no obstruction at all!
That Golden Dragon looked down in amazement at the scene inside the gate. Its majestic eyes flickered with shock.
"Whoosh!"
Soon, Su Changkong felt he had passed through a barrier. The scenery in front of him became clear. He looked back and saw that the Transforming Dragon Gate was now behind him.
Lifespan: 500 years
Potential Value: 93 points
Su Changkong opened his attribute panel and glanced at it, frowning slightly: "Only a 3-point increase in potential value?"
A 3-point increase in potential value wasn’t much for the current Su Changkong, equivalent to at most the enhancement gained from twenty or thirty years of lifespan.
"The effect of the Transforming Dragon Gate... is of little use to me!" Su Changkong mused inwardly, feeling somewhat disappointed. Wasn’t the Transforming Dragon Gate supposed to bring about Rebirth? While he felt refreshed and invigorated, the improvement in potential and talent was indeed limited!
Su Changkong saw astonishment in many eyes. The Heavenly Corpse Old Man, Gu Lie, and others were staring at him.
"What’s going on... The Transforming Dragon Gate seems to have no effect on Dao Wufeng? He entered the gate and came out in less than 100 breaths?"
"Could there be a problem with the Transforming Dragon Gate?"
Everyone frowned, murmuring to themselves, because the time Su Changkong spent was too short. In less than 100 breaths, he came out as if he were merely taking a stroll! And it was unlike the others, who all received significant benefits!
"You... have done very well! Your potential has actually reached the Transcendent tier? Under normal circumstances, before the limit of your lifespan arrives... you must become a Martial Saint! You are more eligible to obtain the Transforming Dragon Gate than he is!"
The Golden Dragon’s eyes twinkled with a trace of amazement. Its voice, authoritative, contained a hint of disbelief, seemingly surprised by Su Changkong’s performance. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
These words caused varied expressions among the crowd.
"Before the limit of the lifespan arrives... must become a Martial Saint?" Yan Zhong and Yan Ru both furrowed their brows tightly. This appraisal... wasn’t it too high?
Who would dare to assert that one must become a Martial Saint?
In previous eras, within a single nation harboring billions of creatures, almost a hundred years might pass without the emergence of a Martial Saint. Every Martial Saint was a prominent figure of his time, destined to become a legend.
Countless Martial Arts prodigies were left outside this threshold, seemingly just one step away, yet unable to cross it until death. Once someone crossed this threshold, they transcended the ordinary, entering a completely new domain, eligible to establish a millennium family or even found a dynasty!
Yet, this Golden Dragon claimed that under normal circumstances, Dao Wufeng must become a Martial Saint before his lifespan’s limit?
"Could Dao Wufeng truly be the reincarnation of a Martial Saint?" the Heavenly Corpse Old Man also marveled inwardly. He had long known that Su Changkong possessed an extraordinary talent, extremely monstrous, but he couldn’t imagine that the Golden Dragon’s appraisal of him would be so high, asserting that without accidents, he must become a Martial Saint!
The Thirteenth Prince was completely unable to sit still anymore. He couldn’t care less about offending the Golden Dragon and exclaimed, "Senior Tianlong, how could this be possible? This kid is just a Martial Artist from the Central Tri-nation, a nobody. How could he possibly be more qualified to obtain the Transforming Dragon Gate than the Divine General Gulie?"
The Thirteenth Prince originally thought the Transforming Dragon Gate was already within the grasp of the Divine Emperor Dynasty, but the situation changed drastically within a hundred breaths. This kid, whose name he hadn’t heard before, had received the recognition of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint. Was he truly more qualified than Gu Lie to receive the Transforming Dragon Gate?
