Chapter 80: Chapter 80: True Dragon Transforms Twice! Who Can Kill Me!
The sword glinted, and two heads rolled to the ground.
Even at this moment, Han Feng still hadn’t collapsed. His eyes stared in disbelief at Luo Cheng, his throat producing a guttural choking sound.
Clang!
Luo Cheng sheathed his sword, looking at Han Feng indifferently. "It seems you aren’t qualified to make me reconsider my choice."
Han Feng’s eyes widened. Whether it was regret or unwillingness, no one knew, but he fell to the ground lifeless.
Luo Cheng didn’t dare dally. Who knew how many people that scoundrel Huang Shang’s scream had drawn here? He swiftly looted the people’s belongings.
The others didn’t carry much on them.
Servant disciples had limited income to begin with, and with the resources they needed for cultivation, they were naturally far from wealthy.
Han Feng, however, was carrying over a hundred Essence Energy Pills!
It seemed that in his daily life, he hadn’t been shy about extorting other servant disciples.
Better safe than sorry; Luo Cheng stored the spoils of his sweep and immediately began to devour!
Unfortunately for Luo Cheng, the Black Mist Wolves had been dead for so long that their Essence Qi and spirit had dissipated completely, making it impossible to condense Beast Souls.
However, devouring the Martial Souls of Huang Shang, Han Feng, and the others went smoothly.
There were five in total. Of them, only Han Feng and Zhou Jinchuan possessed Four-Star Martial Souls; the other three were all Three-Star Martial Souls.
After devouring the Martial Souls of all five, Luo Cheng wasted no time. His figure darted like a wisp of smoke, vanishing into the depths of the forest.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Not long after Luo Cheng had left, silhouettes emerged from the forest one after another—twenty or thirty people in total!
"Huh, that’s Han Feng! He actually died here!"
Seeing the devastated clearing, everyone was shocked.
At that moment, a young man in blood-red robes with golden trim, his eyes predatory like an eagle’s, stepped forward with a few others in tow.
Sweeping his cold gaze across the scene, the blood-robed youth spoke in an icy tone:
"Has anyone spotted the whereabouts of Luo Cheng, the servant disciple from Purple Rhythm Peak? Senior Brother Cao Qing is looking for him."
The group exchanged uneasy glances. They’d only come because they heard Huang Shang’s scream; how could they know where Luo Cheng had gone?
Realizing that the blood-robed youth was under Cao Qing—one of the top ten seed candidates—quite a few people began having second thoughts about staying.
"Since you’re here, why rush to leave?"
The blood-robed youth licked his lips, his voice cold and cruel. "Hand over your hunting points. Once Senior Brother Cao Qing becomes an Outer Disciple, you’ll all have your share of the credit."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned pale.
In every Green Cloud Trial, there was always looting of hunting points. But to think that even one of the top ten seed candidates was part of it this time...
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and the group scattered like frightened birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions!
"Trying to run?"
The blood-robed youth’s eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light. "Kill them!"
Ahhh—!
Screams rang out continuously as the forest filled with the stench of blood.
But all of this had nothing to do with Luo Cheng.
Far from the chaos, Luo Cheng had run several miles before finding a concealed tree hollow hidden among the branches and leaves. He immediately dove inside.
Only now did Luo Cheng finally exhale in relief.
If he were surrounded, given his current strength, leaving unscathed would be nearly impossible.
"Let’s hope I can break through to the Second Transformation in one go!"
Sitting cross-legged in the tree hollow, Luo Cheng’s eyes gleamed like lightning.
After devouring the Martial Souls of several Transcendence Realm experts, Luo Cheng could feel the Dragon Energy within him surging, as if on the verge of transformation!
"Elder He, you want my life? I’m afraid it won’t be that easy!"
Letting out a cold laugh, Luo Cheng took out a Three-star Pill, swallowed it, and began cultivating the True Dragon Technique.
Time passed bit by bit, and the Essence Energy Vortex within Luo Cheng’s Dantian spun faster and faster. Around the Dragon Energy, invisible ripples began to spread.
Two hours passed. Luo Cheng’s brow furrowed and relaxed intermittently.
Suddenly—
Roar!
A clear dragon’s roar erupted from within Luo Cheng’s body, unleashing an aura so terrifying it spread uncontrollably!
In that instant, a mystical scene unfolded in Luo Cheng’s mind:
Within his Martial Soul, countless stars began to come alive, transforming into massive dragons with iridescent scales, majestic horns, and clouds billowing from their nostrils!
Just as Luo Cheng was awestruck, the countless giant dragons all turned their gaze toward him and roared to the heavens.
Roar!
A resounding dragon’s roar pierced through the universe, as the stars themselves began to collapse...
Engulfed entirely by the dragon’s roar, Luo Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.
In his pupils, chaos swirled, dotted with flickering golden light, unfathomably deep.
"What was that just now... Could it be related to my Martial Soul?"
The vision had been so overwhelming that it took Luo Cheng a long time to recover, his heart still pounding wildly.
"Forget it. Even if it is related to my Martial Soul, it’s not something I can comprehend now!"
Letting out a bitter laugh, Luo Cheng shook his head, clearing his thoughts, and turned his attention back to his Dantian.
Within the swirling Essence Energy Vortex, the Dragon Energy was now leaping and soaring. On its once bare head, a pair of dragon eyes had formed.
Those dragon eyes shone like lightning, exuding divine might beyond measure!
"The second level of the True Dragon Technique!"
Luo Cheng was ecstatic.
Devouring Martial Souls truly was the shortcut to cultivating the True Dragon Technique!
By devouring just the Martial Souls of a few Transcendence Realm experts, the results far surpassed devouring the Beast Souls of dozens of Two-Star Demon Beasts, allowing the Dragon Energy to undergo its second transformation directly!
"Elder He, your painstaking schemes to eliminate me amounted to nothing! I’d like to see who else on Qingyun Island can end my life now!"
Luo Cheng stood up, feeling the immense power coursing through him, and threw a punch.
Boom!
The tree hollow exploded instantly, splinters raining down like a storm.
Among the cascading debris, Luo Cheng landed firmly on the ground.
"Not bad; this punch’s strength is at least thirty-five thousand pounds! Stronger than the power of a Savage Elephant!"
Luo Cheng nodded in satisfaction.
A Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer Martial Artist possessed Five Tiger Power, equivalent to twenty-five thousand pounds of force—the strength of a Savage Elephant.
Luo Cheng’s current strength exceeded that by nearly half!
Additionally, devouring Martial Souls not only accelerated progress in the True Dragon Technique but also tremendously boosted his cultivation through the vast Essence Qi absorbed.
Luo Cheng estimated that, though he had been in the early stage of the Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer when he arrived on Qingyun Island, now he was closing in on the late stage!
"If this keeps up, I might even break through to the Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer before the Green Cloud Trial ends!"
Bang!
As Luo Cheng mused, a sudden figure landed nearby, stirring up a cloud of dust. It was a burly youth in yellow garb.
"Hmm? Are you Luo Cheng?"
The yellow-clad youth fixed his gaze on Luo Cheng, pupils narrowing with an imposing air.
Luo Cheng raised his brow. "An unyielding presence... A Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer Martial Artist!"
"Exactly. At least you have sharp eyes!"
The yellow-clad youth grinned, cracking his knuckles smugly. "I, Huang Tie, never imagined I’d be so lucky as to encounter you! Heaven must be helping me join the Outer Sect!"
Though Huang Tie was a Fifth Layer expert, his strength barely ranked within the top forty. Competing for a top ten spot in the Green Cloud Trial was next to impossible!
He had been hunting Demon Beasts nearby when he heard the commotion and came over, only to stumble upon Luo Cheng. This was nothing short of a windfall!
Luo Cheng smirked.
Why did everyone who encountered him think they were lucky?
"The last person who said that is already dead."
