The Miraculous Efficacy of Dragon Blood

Clutching the briefcase, Luo Feng swiftly returned to his residence. In the underground secret chamber of Jiangnan Pavilion, a 'click-clack' echoed as Luo Feng twisted the lock on the alloy door. He knew he had to use the Dragon Blood immediately. If he delayed and any other trainee discovered he possessed it, it might be stolen, leaving him with nothing but regret. Using the Dragon Blood was a critical matter, and to prevent any disturbance, the secret chamber was the ideal place.

Light flooded the chamber. Luo Feng placed the briefcase in a corner. It was a fingerprint-locked case, and with a swipe of his finger, it clicked open. The briefcase was large, divided into two layers. The upper layer held neatly folded combat suits, the Blood Shadow Battle Blade, a shield, throwing knives, and other items. Luo Feng took them out and set them aside, then looked at the lower layer.

Only two wooden boxes rested there. "These two wooden boxes should contain the Ninefold Thunderblade manual and the Dragon Blood," Luo Feng mused, carefully opening the first box. Inside lay a thick manual and a stack of optical discs. The cover of the manual bore four bold characters: Ninefold Thunderblade. With the manual in hand, he thought, "No more worrying about spending time and money on this manual." He closed it and opened the other wooden box.

Click! The lid lifted, revealing a test tube secured in foam. The tube, stoppered, contained golden blood, filling just over a third of its volume. "This is the Dragon Blood, the 80 billion Dragon Blood?" Luo Feng carefully removed the foam, then cautiously picked up the test tube, fearing he might drop it. Logically, a test tube holding Dragon Blood should be incredibly sturdy, but Luo Feng dared not test it. He held the tube high, aligning it with the fluorescent light.

Under the illumination, the golden blood shimmered, a sight that sent shivers down his spine. Without knowing its value, it would be impossible to believe this substance was worth 80 billion. "Hmm?" Luo Feng looked down. Beneath the wooden box that held the Dragon Blood, there was an instruction manual. He picked it up and read it carefully, a smile spreading across his face. "So, using this Dragon Blood is that simple!" According to the instructions, he only needed to apply the Dragon Blood to his body, not necessarily his entire body, just one spot. The Dragon Blood would naturally permeate and spread throughout. The only taboo: absolutely do not drink it.

"On the night of the 28th, at the Ninefold Tower, my punch force was 25,100 kg. I wonder what it will reach after using this Dragon Blood." In fact, at the end of June, Luo Feng's punch force was only 19,600 kg, but throughout July, it increased by over 5,000 kg! This was an astonishing leap! It wasn't surprising, though. In July, Luo Feng spent four hours in the ancient civilization's gravity room, divided into twelve 20-minute sessions, one every day for twelve days. Each three days in the gravity room was equivalent to fifteen days of normal training, meaning those twelve days alone were like two months of regular cultivation! That's why the effect in July was so astounding!

Luo Feng's progress wasn't even the most exaggerated. If someone spent two hours daily in the ancient civilization's gravity room for a month, it could yield the equivalent of ten months of training! "My punch force is 25,100 kg. If the Dragon Blood doubles it, I'll reach 50,000 kg," Luo Feng thought. The higher one's strength, the weaker the Dragon Blood's effect. The lower one's strength, the more pronounced the effect. A Soldier-level Warrior, being inherently weaker, could see their strength quadruple with Dragon Blood! The legend of Dragon Blood doubling one's strength was merely an approximation.

"My current physical constitution is only that of a Middle Tier Warrior! Using Dragon Blood, it might not just be double, but possibly triple." Luo Feng secretly anticipated the outcome. He had never used Dragon Blood before, and while others might have, their experiences were not public, so no one knew the exact data. He would have to experience it himself.

In the underground secret chamber, Luo Feng lay flat on the ground. With his left hand, he held the test tube of Dragon Blood and gently pulled out the stopper. Immediately, a unique aroma filled the chamber. Just inhaling the scent, Luo Feng felt every part of his body tingle, a sensation akin to cultivating gene original energy. "Dragon Blood!" Luo Feng tilted the test tube slightly, pouring the Dragon Blood onto his chest.

Its viscosity was high, like mercury. It flowed slowly. The test tube was small, and one-third of its volume meant a very small amount of Dragon Blood. It spread over a small area on his chest. Soon, all the Dragon Blood had flowed out, and Luo Feng set the test tube aside. "Too small an area," Luo Feng thought, immediately using both hands to spread the Dragon Blood across his bare upper body and arms.

As he did so, Luo Feng felt his upper body and arms begin to heat up. "Is it working?" Luo Feng was filled with anticipation. He felt streams of heat, originating from where the Dragon Blood touched his skin, rapidly integrating into his body, flowing to every part: his legs, hands, back, chest, head, and every other location. These heat streams continuously intensified, and he could visibly see the Dragon Blood on his skin rapidly diminishing, seemingly permeating into his skin.

The heat streams grew stronger! The temperature steadily rose! "The instructions said the process would be excruciating, even leading to unconsciousness. But I never expected it to be this painful. I've suffered from headaches since childhood, so my endurance is strong, yet I never imagined…" Luo Feng clenched his fists, his entire body trembling. It felt as if millions of ants were tearing at every inch of his body. The agony turned his face pale.

And the pain continued to escalate! Aching, numbness, and then intense pain! Every part of his body, even his head! The heat made him feel as if he were being burned alive. The tingling made him feel like he was being tickled to death! The pain, a bone-deep agony, made him convulse. "Ah!" Sweat beaded on Luo Feng's forehead, his body writhing, muscles twitching, heart racing, and blood flow accelerating.

His heartbeat… Thump! Thump! Thump! Each beat sounded like a heavy drum in his ears, growing louder and louder, until… he lost consciousness! He fainted! The Dragon Blood on Luo Feng's body continued to diminish, steadily permeating into him. Accompanying this permeation was Luo Feng's full-body convulsions. Not just his entire body, but every single muscle twitched. Luo Feng's bare upper body showed muscles writhing and twitching like earthworms, his skin appeared scorched red, and the veins across his body bulged and twisted, a terrifying sight.

Sizzle~~ Amidst this horrifying process, every cell in Luo Feng's body frantically devoured this strange energy, undergoing repeated transformations! From childhood until now, even when Luo Feng first awakened as a Mental-force User, his physical transformation was never as exaggerated as it was at this moment! The genetic material within his cells rapidly transformed under the Dragon Blood's energy, shedding useless genes and enhancing and perfecting others.

Discarded cells and impurities were directly expelled, emerging from Luo Feng's skin like grime. Under this cellular-level transformation, Luo Feng's tendons, bones, membranes, muscles, skin, and internal organs all underwent astonishing changes. The hardness of his bones continuously increased, and the resilience of his periosteum and fascia underwent leaps and bounds of transformation. The Dragon Blood's energy was more than sufficient to fuel such a metamorphosis!

Everything happened rapidly! Thousands, even tens of thousands of times faster than normal cultivation!

And at the same time— In Luo Feng's Sea of Consciousness, that vast expanse. In the center of the boundless, mist-shrouded Sea of Consciousness, the enormous dark golden sphere no longer rotated slowly, gradually releasing mental force. Instead, it was like a bursting dam, with large amounts of almost liquid mental force pouring out and instantly dispersing into mist. Vast quantities of mist frantically spread, filling the entire Sea of Consciousness.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The density of the mist in the Sea of Consciousness continuously increased, and at an astonishing rate. The dark golden sphere furiously released massive amounts of mist, thousands of times faster than its usual release process, perhaps even more! His physical constitution was improving at an incredible rate! Naturally, the dark golden sphere, which had always been limited by his physical constitution and unable to fully unleash its latent mental force, now released it freely within his Sea of Consciousness! Luo Feng's mental force strength was continuously rising. From its previous 'Beginner Tier War God' level, it began to increase at an astonishing pace!

Gradually… The mist density seemed to reach a limit, and it began to condense, forming droplets! One droplet, two droplets! Gradually, Luo Feng's body calmed down, and the dark golden sphere in his Sea of Consciousness finally ceased its frantic release of mental force, returning to its slow, steady emission as before. The entire mist-shrouded Sea of Consciousness now contained many suspended liquid droplets, with mist sometimes merging into the droplets and sometimes being released from them. Luo Feng's Sea of Consciousness was now in a state of co-existence between mist and liquid.

"Hmm?" "Did I… pass out?" Luo Feng's body trembled slightly, his consciousness finally clearing. His eyelids fluttered, and his eyes slowly opened. At this moment, Luo Feng's entire body was covered in a layer of grime, completely black, even his face. As Luo Feng opened his eyes, he casually stood up, stretched his arms slightly, and then vigorously scrubbed his left hand across his body, instantly rubbing off a patch of black grime to reveal bronze-colored skin! Yes, Luo Feng's skin color had completely changed. From his previous ordinary yellow skin, it had transformed into a bronze hue, as if cast from steel—clearly a result of the Dragon Blood's permeation!

"Such incredible power!" Luo Feng felt the astonishing strength within his body. "It's so much stronger than before." "3.5 times, burst!" Luo Feng slammed his fist into the nearby alloy wall with a thunderous boom, his entire fist sinking deep into it. Then, his left fist delivered another heavy blow. Each punch caused the entire underground secret chamber to vibrate, and each punch left a shocking, concave hole in the alloy wall.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!… The deep, resonant thuds, like hammers striking a heart, echoed one after another. Having suddenly gained such immense power, Luo Feng vented his exhilaration in this most primal way. "Amazing! Simply amazing!" Luo Feng couldn't help but shout. He turned his head to look at his combat suit.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Ten throwing knives swiftly cut through the air. In this five-meter long, five-meter wide, and two-and-a-half-meter high alloy chamber, they began to spin around Luo Feng at an astonishing speed, instantly accelerating to ten times the speed of sound, and still increasing! The terrifying speed of these throwing knives even carved grooves into the nearby alloy walls. Luo Feng clenched his fists, feeling a sensation… that even if he faced the Advanced Tier Lord-level Iron Armored Dragon from before, he would dare to fight it, and even kill it!
