THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.

40. FINISHING EXAMS.

Standing up, Ui Yong Jiang looked at the Elemental Warrior calmly.

The explosion!

Another force spread out in all directions with Ui Yong Jiang in the middle once again.

The stage increased by a second. The First Stage, the Second Stage, the Third Stage, and the last Fourth Stage of the Origin Realm.

In five seconds, Ui Yong Jiang switched from the Ninth stage Elementalist Arcane Plane to the Fourth stage Elementalist Origin Plane. This is unheard of!

Now he was on the same level as the Elemental Warrior.

Ui Yong Jiang gently floated upwards and stopped at the same height as the Elemental Warrior. Unlike the other Elementalist Origin Plane, he could fly.

Looking at the face of the Elemental Warrior, he attacked without hesitation.

The time he could stay in this state was limited, he had already spent nearly ten seconds, so time was not on his side.

The explosion!

The Elemental Warrior blocked the attack but was pushed back by it.

Ui Yong Jiang's attack power had almost reached the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane since he had used Elemental Fusion in his attacks.

The explosion! Bam! Bang out!

Ui Yong Jiang and the Elemental Warrior started fighting in midair with Ui Yong Jiang having the upper hand.

In thirty seconds, he had slammed the Elemental Warrior onto the ground four times.

The fire was not as bright as before, and it could not fly properly anymore.

Ui Yong Jiang extended his hand, and ten inscriptions instantly materialized in the air.

When he used Fusion State, it wasn't just his stage that improved,

his spiritual energy had also increased which in turn increased the time he would spend on making inscriptions.

Holy hooch! Holy hooch!

The ten inscriptions sent ice spears darting towards the Elemental Warrior.

The Elemental Warrior raised his flaming sword and the size of his sword increased,

from thirty-five inches long and three inches wide, it became over eighty inches long and over thirty inches wide.

The explosion! The explosion! The explosion!

After successfully fending off the three spears, the Elemental Warrior was first pushed back from the attack force, before the other seven attacked it.

One of the spears exploded at close range as the Elemental Warrior sent a fist towards him, the effect of the explosion making the Elemental Warrior flung to the ground.

Bang out!

It hit the ground hard, and for the first time since Ui Yong Jiang came here, a hole formed in the ground of the volcano.

The other six spears, like they had shot eyes straight into the hole.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The six of them made contact with the Elemental Warrior.

The Elemental Warrior slowly began to disappear.

Ui Yong Jiang sighed before calmly drifting down and out of the Fusion State before the time of one minute ran out.

The entire battle took a total of forty-three seconds for Ui Yong Jiang, the,

coupled with the first ten seconds spent on curing and raising his level,

‘Hmm, it seems like I can't use this state as often as I thought’, thought Ui Yong Jiang.

After exiting the stage, he saw some energy still remaining in his body. This meant, if he used the state for a short period of time, the energy in his body would be too much drained out.

‘Although, it cannot be said as a side effect because it will not affect me if I do not use the status in the near future.

I guess that's more of a limitation, so I won't rely on him in every battle, either,

or using it for the purpose of unconditional healing’, he sighed at the thought of not being able to heal whenever he was injured.

He couldn't really say that he felt bad about his limits, besides, he was rarely in this kind of situation where he would need a great increase in strength.

Now, he had the main trump card. With this, he would not have to fear anyone in this place, until he could use it again.

After calming his mind, he looked around but still saw no way to get out of this place.

‘Maybe I will get the treasure first before the exit will appear’

Thinking up to this stage, he first walked towards his bag. He wanted to take his bag before going towards the floating lotus. Take it, he freezes.

“Hah! Why is it lighter?”, he asked with a puzzled expression.

There were no items on the ground, so it was impossible for the items in the bag to fall out of the bag.

Gently opening the bag, his expression changed.

‘What the heck!’

‘What the heck!’

Ui Yong Jiang looked at his bag in astonishment.

Over eighty percent of the plants he obtained from the garden were gone, there was a time when he accidentally obtained two essence stones, it was also gone.

The only thing he found complete was the stone he dug from the walls of the passageway when he came here.

He looked deeper and saw the piece of black egg he had stolen from the group of princes earlier.

‘Hah! Is it hatching? But why is there no movement inside the bag, or could it be left behind?’

Thinking about what might be inside the egg, his attention changed from why the plant was lost, to where the creature was.

We must remember that this was a creature that had been inside the egg in this place for at least a thousand years, so he was very much expecting what it was.

If he knew the egg had absorbed his blood for some time now, he would be stunned.

Because the inside of her bag was black, she failed to immediately see the small feathered creature sleeping on its tip that was most likely the perpetrator of her lost belongings.

Just as he was about to retract his gaze from the bag and start looking around for strange creatures, he noticed a slight movement at the end of the bag.

‘This is?’

With a puzzled look, he extended his hand towards the creature.

As his hands came into contact with the creature, he felt a sudden connection with it, as well as a sense of familiarity. He was sure he had never seen this creature before.

Because of his sense of familiarity, his curiosity towards the creature increased, and he took it.

“Cat?!”, he involuntarily exclaimed.

In his hand was a seven-inch-long cat. Its deep black color is unique because of how dark it is.

Ui Yong Jiang had seen a black-colored cat before, but no one could match this cat.

Feeling the movement from the moment Ui Yong Jiang took it, the cat opened its eyes and looked straight at Ui Yong Jiang.

Looking at the cat's eyes, Ui Yong Jiang felt stunned. Just like his body,
