Chapter 153 Hunting the Dragon
After glancing around, Lu Yuan ignored everything else and returned to the golden wheel. He immediately sat down to prepare for his breakthrough, since Xiao Gu was there now.
There are also eight powerful protectors from Prajna Temple.
There is no safer place than this. As for the other dynasties, they all brought their own disciples, so they probably wouldn't dare to easily start a conflict.
Therefore, the system panel was opened immediately.
Lu Yuan hadn't checked it recently, but today was a good day to take a look.
Name: Lu Yuan
Age: 19
[Cultivation Technique: Rank 6 Cultivation Technique "Heavenly Gang Blazing Sun Blade" (9382/30000 Perfection)]
[Fifth-grade cultivation technique "Primordial Essence Condensation Technique" - Core Formation (10234/30000 Complete)]
[Sixth-grade martial art "Formless Golden Bell" (53013/30000 completion, is it ready to enter the stance?)]
[Fourth-grade formation "Shocking God Floating Pagoda Formation" (29201/30000 Perfection) Additional effects: Doubled defense, doubled speed. In large-scale battles, it can have a deterrent effect, causing the enemy's morale to drop.]
[Fourth-Rank Kung Fu Technique: Condensing Void Arrow Technique (5932/50000 Entering Stance)]
[Fifth-Rank Technique "Condensing Evil Heart-Shattering Fist"] (10228/50000 Entering Stance)
Looking at the data displayed above, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.
Your cultivation level has increased rapidly recently.
He hasn't fallen behind, and his Core Formation is almost complete. In a while, he should be able to directly enter the Divine Palace, at which point his strength will advance even further.
Then, he immediately chose to break through.
Then, layers of golden light appeared around his body, and with each breath, he exhaled a massive amount of life essence.
Seeing this, Xiao Gu knew that Lu Yuan was breaking through. He flipped his hand, and a golden restriction enveloped him, making it impossible for people outside to see what was happening inside.
At the same time, Xiao Gu was secretly surprised, obviously not expecting that Lu Yuan would actually break through directly after climbing the Heavenly Ladder Cliff once.
They marveled at the other person's talent; although they hadn't reached the top, their skill was unmatched by most.
Besides him, everyone else around him looked on with envy, after all, not everyone has this talent and can break through at any time.
Lu Yuan ignored all of this. As the "Formless Golden Bell" began to break through, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
His body underwent a tremendous change at this moment. Perhaps because of this ascent, Lu Yuan could clearly see that there was a golden luster pulsating under every inch of his skin, full of spirituality and charm.
This ascent brought him immense benefits, especially to his physical body, which received an unprecedented strengthening, truly astonishing him.
That kind of power that bursts forth from the depths of the body.
It gave him the feeling that he could lift a mountain.
Of course, he also knew that this was a feeling that arose after his cultivation level had greatly improved.
However, I was still very excited.
[Sixth-Rank Kung Fu Technique: Formless Golden Bell (3013/50000 Entry Stance)]
At this moment, the Formless Golden Bell fully entered its power state.
His bulging muscles were covered by a python robe. After standing up, his gaze was fixed on the front.
Wherever it goes, its brilliance shines.
This caused everyone else to lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Lu Yuan is now eager to know just how strong he really is.
However, he also understood that now was not the time to take action.
We'll have to wait until this matter is over before discussing it further.
"My cultivation level is still too low. If I could reach the Earth Immortal realm, my combat power would be enough to suppress all the powerful figures in the world," Lu Yuan thought to himself.
He slowly stood up.
The surrounding barriers shattered like glass.
Xiao Gu glanced at him: "Your aura has increased significantly."
As he spoke, admiration shone in his eyes. He had never seen anyone at the Core Formation Realm before, and this person was even stronger than Lu Yuan.
"Hmm, a slight breakthrough," he said with a smile.
Then he turned to Xiao Hua and said, "This time, I should be able to hunt down the dragon for you without any problems."
The young dragon's strength is only at the Core Formation Realm, but because its combat power is strong enough to rival that of the Divine Palace, few people dare to provoke it.
Those of the same cultivation level would avoid each other upon meeting.
Anyone who can slay a dragon will become famous among the human race.
This is a symbol of strong combat power.
Xiao Gu looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Hehe, the blood of the dragon is very beneficial for body tempering. Since the King of Qin wants to try it, then let's give it a try. I will send people to find the dragon right away."
His strength is sufficient to take care of Lu Yuan and the others.
If we can actually hunt down the dragon this time, it will be a small success.
Blood essence can temper the body, scales can be used to forge armor, and dragon tendons are excellent for making bowstrings.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Lu Yuan wanted to hunt down the dragon.
As his strength increased, ordinary bows could no longer withstand his power.
Although the northern barbarians have good ones, it would be even better if one could obtain one that one hunted oneself.
While Xiao Gu was speaking, he arranged for someone to go and look for it.
Xiao Hua excitedly said, "Let's go back after Brother Yuan hunts down the dragon."
"Yes, but be very careful. There are quite a few forces involved this time. Now that we've arrived in the East Sea, many people want to hunt dragons, so we'll inevitably run into them," Xiao Gu said softly.
As far as he knew, the Great Yong Dynasty would certainly not let this opportunity slip by.
It is said that the Dayong court even organized its noble disciples to hunt dragons in the East Sea every year to hone their skills.
At the same time, resources are harvested.
The Peerless Marquis of yesteryear became famous throughout the world by killing a dragon when he was at the same cultivation level.
After all, very few people at the same level can achieve this.
With His Highness the Prince of Qin present this time, it's time for the Northern Barbarians to show their strength.
Opportunities to hunt dragons are rare for the Northern Barbarians, and now that they've come, Xiao Gu is eager to give it a try.
Lu Yuan nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes."
After saying that, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. If he really encountered someone from Dayong this time, he would not show any mercy.
As time passed, and a day came to an end, the Sky Cliff closed.
People from all sides also led their disciples and prepared to leave the arena.
Some people were very excited because many talented disciples had emerged in their faction.
Some people were disappointed because their experience climbing the ladder to heaven was not satisfactory.
Everyone's complexion is different.
Overall, however, it was a rather novel experience.
Of course, the most important thing is to find the person who has reached the top, and all parties have already started to take action on this matter.
Just then, a figure walked over and looked at Xiao Gu, saying, "Grand Master, a dragon has been spotted 500 nautical miles ahead, and it is said that many people have gone to hunt it."
Throughout history, powerful figures in various dynasties have enhanced their reputation by hunting dragons.
Showcase your strength and talent to the outside world.
Now that they've come to the East China Sea, and are all young people from various regions, they certainly won't let this opportunity slip by.
Xiao Hua looked eager to try, while Lu Yuan turned to Xiao Gu and asked, "Does our Northern Barbarian tribe have anyone skilled in forging bows and arrows?"
"Haha, when it comes to bow and arrow making, if I, the Northern Barbarians, say I'm second, no one dares to say I'm first. Do you want to make a bow and arrow? Then you've come to the right place. Dragon tendons are the best bowstrings, and dragon bones combined with refined gold and black iron can be forged into Angry Dragon Arrows, which can pierce mountains and armor without any problem."
In my secret chamber, I also treasure a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ironwood heartwood, which you can use to make a bow. There is no problem in forging a spiritual weapon. As long as it is properly nurtured, its power will be immense.
However, there aren't many people who are proficient in archery, mainly because in the later stages of cultivation, it's difficult for arrows to harm a master. Xiao Gu couldn't help but remind him at the end.
Clearly, they hoped that Lu Yuan wouldn't have to spend too much money to acquire bows and arrows.
The right path is to practice with other weapons.
"Yes, I know, don't worry."
"Yeah, that's right. Brother Yuan naturally has his reasons. Let's go quickly, I can't wait any longer." Xiao Hua was eager to try.
Behind them, the other young disciples also had expressions that suggested they wanted to give it a try.
After all, opportunities to hunt dragons are not many.
Xiao Gu nodded: "Alright, let's go then."
After speaking, the golden wheel spun and flew into the air. In just a moment, it arrived at a sea area where many people had already gathered. When Lu Yuan looked over, he found that the Seventh Prince was also there.
Now that he has become the crown prince, his aura has become even stronger.
He stood still, calmly observing the scene in the sea, showing no intention of making a move.
The purpose of the dragon hunt was to train the disciples of the nobility whose cultivation level was not too high.
If a strong opponent intervenes, then there's not much point in it.
Moreover, with all the forces present, and everyone looking to hone their skills, it would be incredibly risky for any powerful individual to strike and kill the dragon directly, as that would incur the wrath of the masses.
After all, such a spiritual behemoth is hard to find even in the East China Sea.
Its value is very high, far exceeding what money can buy.
"This dragon's strength is at the peak of the Core Formation stage, and it's about to transform into a Divine Palace cultivator. It should be on the verge of a breakthrough now, and it might reach the Divine Palace in the next moment. It won't be easy for these young experts in the arena to kill it," Xiao Gu said softly.
Lu Yuan followed his gaze and saw a dragon about thirty meters long and as thick as a water bucket rolling on the surface of the sea.
Its palm-sized scales were pitch black, and its enormous head was shrouded in clouds, its crimson eyes gleaming.
Two sharp claws extended, splashing up a large amount of seawater.
A young man wielding a sharp sword was fighting a dragon below, but he was clearly at a disadvantage.
Suppressed by the dragon.
This evil dragon has a powerful physical body and immense strength. Although it was surrounded, it remained extremely fierce and showed no sign of weakness.
Instead, it let out bursts of roars.
"Bang!"
Finally, he swatted away the person he was fighting with a single claw.
The other person coughed up blood, and a look of gloom appeared on their face.
A flicker of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"This is a disciple of the Ancient River Sect. His strength is among the top of his peers in the sect."
Xiao Gu explained.
This was clearly a reminder to Lu Yuan.
Just then, a figure ran over, calling out, "Brother Lu."
Looking back, it turned out to be Ling Ku, the young monk from Lingjiu Temple who had fought Lu Yuan in the Dayong Imperial Palace that day. He was truly talented and had now reached the Core Formation Realm.
Upon seeing him, Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised: "You're here too?"
"Yes, I came with our Lingjiu Temple elders," Ling said with a wry smile.
Xiao Gu glanced at him: "I've long heard that Lingjiu Temple produced a person with an innate Buddha body. It must be you. Little guy, are you interested in coming to our Prajna Temple?"
"This is a big matter, and I cannot make the decision myself. You should ask my master," Lingku said softly.
However, a look of vigilance appeared on his face.
Lu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the Grand Master of Ceremonies was just joking with you. How was the potential test this time?"
"Hehe, I couldn't go any further after climbing nine hundred steps." He spoke rather shyly.
However, those around him gasped in surprise; it turned out to be someone who was also close to reaching the top.
"Brother Lu's talent is astonishing, you..."
"I stopped at the 800th step," Lu Yuan said with a smile before Ling Ku could finish speaking.
The latter nodded without doubt, after all, potential and combat power are somewhat related, but not entirely linked.
Some people have amazing combat power in the early stages, but their progress stops in the later stages.
Some people accumulate experience and then unleash their full potential, reaching the pinnacle of their abilities; such cases are not uncommon.
"What, you're interested in this dragon too?" Lu Yuan chuckled.
"We've already clashed. I can't defeat it, and neither can this dragon. But this dragon is definitely going to die here today. It's said that it wreaked havoc along the coast some time ago, killing many fishermen."
"Emperor Qingdi has spoken; if no one can subdue this evil dragon, the experts from the Eastern Barbarians will personally take action," Ling Ku said softly.
However, everyone knows that this is already quite remarkable.
After all, that was a dragon; people of the same realm were no match for it.
Just as they were talking.
"Boom!"
In the arena, another person was knocked out; it was Zhao Yu's elder brother, Zhao Feng.
At this moment, the former quickly flew forward, brought his elder brother back, and put a pill into his mouth.
Zhao Feng looked at the dragon and said, "The Peerless Marquis truly lives up to his name. Only now do I realize how strong he is. He can actually kill a dragon at the same level. I don't have that kind of strength."
Before the dragon, it was utterly powerless to resist.
The Crown Prince, standing to the side, did not underestimate Zhao Feng. Instead, he smiled and said, "You're quite good. It takes many years for the Great Yong Dynasty to produce a peerless marquis. You've already done very well."
Zhao Feng has now ascended to the seventy-second step, and is expected to reach the Dharma Aspect stage in the future. If he has enough opportunities, he may even be able to break through to the Earth Immortal level.
Such a person is worth trying to win over.
Just then, Ling Ku looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Brother Lu, why don't you give it a try? This dragon is of very high quality; it's not an ordinary evil dragon. Its scales are much harder than those of ordinary dragons."
Beside him, Xiao Gu also said to the group of high-ranking disciples of the Northern Barbarians behind him, "Anyone who wants to try can go down by themselves. This opportunity is rare."
Upon hearing this, many disciples behind him were eager to try, and some flew straight down.
However, after the most outstanding disciples were all knocked away by the evil dragon, the remaining disciples dared not take any action.
Although Xiao Gu and others were there, the feeling of being tortured was really unpleasant.
Just then, Lu Yuan said with a smile, "I'll give it a try."
But Xiao Hua went up to him and grabbed his arm: "This dragon is too powerful, Brother Yuan, why don't you go down?"
She was worried that Lu Yuan might be in danger.
Many of the Northern Barbarian disciples were just beaten until they vomited blood.
"Don't worry, I'll be right back and forge you a set of dragon armor." After saying that, Lu Yuan flashed into the arena.
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade appeared in his palm.
A cold light flashed, and his python robe fluttered.
"hold head high!"
But at that moment, the dragon roared, and an astonishing aura emanated from its body, spreading outwards.
Moreover, the scales also seemed to be harder.
"It's broken through! This dragon has actually broken through!"
"So powerful. Is this a dragon at the Divine Palace Realm? I feel like if I were to fight him now, I would be slapped to death with one blow."
"Hehe, this Qin King of the Northern Barbarians is rather unlucky. He was just about to make a move when the dragon broke through. The one that Wushuang Hou killed back then was only a Judan Realm evil dragon. Winning against a dragon of the same realm, is this Qin King going to kill a Divine Palace Realm dragon in the Judan Realm?" This time, it was a young disciple of Dayong who spoke, his eyes full of schadenfreude.
"What can we do? The prince of the Northern Barbarians won't just run away in fear of battle, will he?" someone deliberately made a strange sound.
Above, Xiao Hua was extremely nervous. Fighting a dragon of a higher level was much more difficult than even fighting the Peerless Marquis back then.
They cannot be compared.
The Crown Prince of Dayong smiled and had a chair brought over so he could sit down. He looked like he was watching a good show, and out of nowhere, he produced a flask of wine. He then slowly said, "Everyone says that the Northern Barbarian King Qin is good at making money, but I wonder if he has the ability to fight this evil dragon now."
