DRAGON EMPEROR

CHAPTER 2 True War Dragon Technique

Lu Chuan crossed his arms behind his back with an indifferent expression. He looked at Lu Ming, showing disdain openly.

“But, Minger...”.

Li Ping was about to say something again, but was interrupted by Lu Ming.

“Mother, we don't need to beg her. If we have to move, let it be,” Lu Ming said.

“But Ming'er, your wounds have not recovered. It's already night, what if you catch a cold?!” said Li Ping concernedly.

Lu Ming stubbornly shook his head. “Mother, I'll be fine, let's get out. But, in the end there will be a day when we return. The King's residence is the place where father and father get married, no one can take it.”

“Alright then,” Li Ping sighed, and asked Qiu Yue to pack their things.

Lu Chuan folded his hands back, sneering. He was observing the surroundings when his eyes suddenly sparkled.

“Sometimes, you are not allowed to carry the sword with you.”

Lu Chuan walked towards Li Ping, who was holding a sword in his hand.

Li Ping's face paled as he subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword. “This sword is the only memento that Ming'er's father left behind. This is for Ming'er to use in the future, you can't take it!”

“If it is something left behind by the previous Sovereign, that is the reason why you can't take it. It was the common property of the Lu Family and had to be confiscated. Moreover, Lu Ming could not even cultivate his Essential Qi, what was the point of storing the sword? To waste it?”

Lu Chuan spoke calmly with a sharp look in his eyes. He knew that the sword was no ordinary sword, it was a spiritual weapon.

“Can't, Lu Chuan! I'm begging you!" Li Ping hugged his sword, unwilling to let go.

Lu Chuan's eyes turned cold. “You just need to do things the hard way!” he yelled.

“Lu Chuan!”

There was a loud rumbling sound.

Lu Ming's eyes turned red, and his fists clenched.

“Lu Chuan's. You can take his sword. But remember this, someday, I will personally get back what is mine, and at that time, the number will be tenfold, or even a hundredfold.”

Lu Ming's eyes were colder than ice, his gaze fixed on Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan felt cold from Lu Ming's gaze, but he laughed mockingly. “Lu Ming, just you, trash who can't even awaken the blood meridians? You want me to repay him tenfold, or even a hundredfold? Haha, I'll wait for you.”

Every day for the past three years, Lu Yao anointed Lu Ming drink with Yama Sari Powder, which could suppress the blood meridians. Three days ago, Lu Ming failed to awaken the blood meridians before the public eye. After his failure, Lu Yao and the First Branch Elder took the opportunity to make a move.

“Mother, give it to her!” said Lu Ming.

As if affected by the stern look in Lu Ming's eyes, Li Ping reluctantly handed the sword to Lu Chuan.

After their items were packed, Li Ping supported Lu Ming as they walked out of the gate of the King of the Lu Family Residence.

Lu Ming turned his head and looked at the residence.

“One day, I'll be back.”

...

There was a small complex in the East Residence that was supposed to be the residence of the servants. The complex has three rooms and a small courtyard. Right now, the trio of Lu Ming had moved into the complex

It was midnight, cold enough to make the bones shiver.

Lu Ming was sitting in the courtyard, his fists clenched tightly.

"Strength. In this world, power determines everything. It was because I had no power that Lu Yao and the First Branch Elder were able to draw out my blood meridians. It was also due to my lack of strength that I could not even defend the King's Residence, and the sword that my father left behind.””

“In this world, you can only be humiliated with no way to fight if you have no power. Now, I can feel my blood meridians slowly growing back. Even if the blood meridians growing back were at the lowest level, as long as I did tenfold the efforts of others, or even a hundredfold, of others, I am sure I will not lose by comparison. Someday, I will truly be able to control my own destiny, and defend my own people.”

The sound of footsteps echoed behind him. Li Ping was holding a robe, and he helped Lu Ming wear it. “Ming'er, cold outside. Room has been tidied up, you have to go in and rest.”

“Mother, you should also take an early break,” Lu Ming smiled.

He went back to his room and sat on the bed. Lu Ming still had difficulty sleeping.

“When did my blood meridian finally reborn and grow?”

Lu Ming pondered, and turned his mind to his spine.

He wanted to understand his undeveloped blood meridian situation.

Just then, there was an itchy sensation on his spine. Suddenly there was a blurry red flash. Inside that red light, there was a silhouette of something that resembled a worm, the size of a finger.

However, it looked illusory, he could not see it clearly.

“My blood meridians haven't grown completely, but have been able to materialize?” Lu Ming was shocked.

Normally, only fully awakened blood meridians could be realized.

“Because it can be realized, let's see if it can be developed like a normal blood meridian.” Thinking of that, Lu Ming started circulating ‘Qi’ Condensing Art, which was a basic art that was common knowledge in the Lu Family.

The spirit energy in the air immediately attracted towards Lu Ming's body.

“This spirit energy absorption rate can already be compared to the Second Level blood meridian.”

Sensing the density of spirit energy gathering around him, sparks of excitement appeared in Lu Ming's heart.

In this land, martial artists were divided into Ordinary Martial Artists and Blood Meridian Martial Artists.

However, the two types of martial artists were incomparable. The Blood Meridian Martial Artist had awakened the blood meridian. Not only were their strength levels increasing, but their cultivation levels were also incomparable to martial artists in general.

Even so, the Blood Meridian Martial Artists were few in number. There was likely no one to awaken the blood meridians in the group of dozens.

And now, Lu Ming's blood meridians, which had yet to finish growing completely, were able to absorb spirit energy at a speed similar to Second Level blood meridians. What happens when the growth is complete? What impact will it have?

Lu Ming was looking forward to it.

The spirit energy was continuously solidified and absorbed by Lu Ming, permeating into his body.

Two hours later, Lu Ming opened his eyes.

After two hours of cultivating, he felt that his injuries had already recovered a little. His weak and frail body also improved slightly.

“If it continues like this, it will only take a few days until my wounds fully recover. My body will also increase, and when that happens, my cultivation level will also increase.”

As Lu Ming pondered, his hand involuntarily touched his neck. The bronze pendant had disappeared, leaving only a thread of silk around his neck.

“That bronze locket should have something to do with my ability to regrow my blood meridians. Now that it has entered my glabella, I wonder if there is any effect?”

As he thought, he turned his mind to the glabella and tried to sense the pendant.

The vortex grew larger in size, surrounding Lu Ming's entire body.

The next moment, the land shifted in space, and Lu Ming found himself somewhere else.

Surprised, Lu Meng immediately scanned his surroundings.

Just then, he was standing on a flat stone platform. The platform was wide and ten meters long, surrounded by a field of chaos on three sides.

There was only one side with a stone staircase leading up, with a total of ninety-nine steps.

After ninety-nine steps, there was another platform. In front of the platform was another series of stone steps.

Level by level, it was unknown how many levels there were, and at the very top of all the platforms and stairs, there was a palace.

Because the distance was too far away, Lu Ming was unable to see clearly. He could only see the palace doors opening. Amidst the fog, there appeared to be a silhouette sitting cross-legged. The sound of singing was heard from the palace.

As the sound of singing entered his ears, Lu Ming felt refreshed, as if all his worries had simply disappeared. As if his mind and body had fallen into nothingness, his head had never been this clear.

"What's going on? Why am I here? Where'sisthis? Uh, there's a stone tablet in there, and a black steel chest.”

On the side of the platform he was on, there was a stone tablet and a chest.

There are two words written on the stone tablets. 'Top Temple'.

There is nothing but those two words.

Then, Lu Ming turned his gaze to the black steel chest.

Her chest is not big. Its width is not even half a meter, and its length is not up to a meter.

Lu Ming opened the chest and found three books inside, along with a jade bottle.

Three words were written on the jade bottle. 'Marrow cleaning pills'.

“Pil marrow cleanser? This is actually a Marrow Cleaning Pill?”

Lu Ming was overjoyed, and quickly opened the jade bottle lid. Suddenly, a pungent herbal scent invaded his nose. There was a fiery red pill inside the jade bottle, its size was no larger than a fingertip, and its body was as clear as a crystal.

Legend has it that the Marrow Cleansing Pill was able to cleanse one's soul and renew one's marrow, allow one to be reborn, and massively strengthen the body of a martial artist. It was a spiritual pill that could not even be bought with money. In Fire Wind City, he had only appeared a few times in the past thousand years. In the thousand-year history of Fire Wind City, the city had only appeared a few times.

“With Marrow Cleansing Pull, the problem of my weak and weak body, as well as my blocked meridians will have a great increase.”

Lu Ming felt extremely excited and excited.

He took a deep breath and closed the jade bottle. He carefully placed it to the side and took the three books to look at.

Those are three books on martial arts techniques.

True War Dragon Technique, Fire Dragon Fist, and Dragon Snake Steps.

Lu Ming opened the 'True War Dragon Technique' first.

'The 'True War Dragon Technique' was a Divine Level martial arts technique. Processing it to the highest level will give you the power of a war dragon, allowing you to become peerless and dominate the mainland.

“D-divine Level Techniques?”

Lu Ming's eyes widened as his breathing stiffened.

Cultivation techniques are usually categorized in five levels. Heavenly, Earth, Mystical, Yellow, and Without Exclusion.

And for each level, there are also Inferior and Superior qualities.

The Heavenly Level is the highest level. Qualifying Reasonable Level, as the name suggests, is the lowest level.

However there was actually another level above the Heavenly Level; the Divine Level.

However the Divine Level was only a legend. Lu Ming had never heard of anyone possessing a Divine level martial arts technique.

To his knowledge, the highest level technique the Lu Family possessed was only Superior Yellow Level.

Now, with a book containing Divine Level cultivation methods in front of Lu Ming, how could he not be surprised? How could he not be excited?

However, it was a pity that the True War Dragon Technique only had a First Stage cultivation method, which only allowed it to reach the condition of opening its meridians. The next cultivation realm would require the Second Stage of the cultivation method.

The Second Stage of the cultivation method was on the second platform, passing ninety-nine steps. There's another box there, too.

Lu Ming flipped through his pages. On the last page, he noticed a line of words.

“If one wishes to develop the Second Stage of the True War Dragon Technique, one must open three divine meridians. Forcibly processing the Second Stage without doing so would undoubtedly result in death from the burst of meridians.”

Lu Ming took a sharp breath. Isn't the requirement for this cultivation too high?

Cultivation of martial artists were categorized into the Beginner Realm, Warrior Realm, Master Realm, Grandmaster Realm, Leader Realm, and King Realm.

The Beginner Realm was the foundation of cultivation for martial artists, as well as the easiest.

The human body has nine meridians and eighty-one acupuncture points.

The first three meridians are called the Human Meridians, the next three meridians are called the Mainland Meridians, while the last three meridians are called the Sky Meridians.

When a martial artist opened the nine meridians of Man, Heaven, and Land, they would be able to step into the next realm, the Warrior Realm, and become true martial artists.

But there were three other meridians above the nine meridians, called Divine Meridians.

The number of people capable of opening all Divine Meridians was extremely low.

Lu Yao, who had just opened one Divine Meridian, had shaken the entire Fire Wind City. The Council of Elders immediately approved him to be the Ruler of the Lu Family. This is enough evidence.

“I must open all three Divine Meridians for Divine Level cultivation technique.”

Lu Ming clenched his fists for a moment, and began to read the other two manuals.

For the other two books, one of them was the art of boxing, which was the Inferior Yellow Level. The other book is body art, which is also at the Inferior Yellow Level.

Even though it was only a Low Yellow Level martial arts technique, it was still difficult to find anything similar, even for the Lu Family.

After putting down the manual, Lu Ming took out the Marrow Cleaning Pill again. He opened the lid, and swallowed the marrow cleansing pill at once.

The powerful effects of the medicine dissolved in his body and seeped into Lu Ming's muscles, skeleton, and organs. It began to slowly repair Lu Ming's body.

Lu Ming could even hear a slight tremor coming out of his skeleton, as well as his writhing muscles. His body heated up as black strands of dirt were removed from his body.

His body keeps getting stronger. Her once clogged and withered meridians were now active and alive.
