The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 226's

The Saint-level magicite core contained the essence of the magical power of a Saint-level ferocious beast. A Saint-level magicite core was something that was extremely difficult to consume, and that would take a lot of time to do. In the past, because Linley possessed the legendary 'Dragonblood Warrior bloodline', his special bloodline had finally dissolved and absorbed the ninth rank magic core of the Razorback Armored Wyrm.

But even after he dissolved and absorbed the magicite core of the ninth rank, the residual energy of the core remained within Linley's body, alongside his Dragonblood. It had yet to be fully mastered and utilized by Linley.

“When the current continues to take us south, from here to the Southwest Administrative Province, we will cover a distance of more than three thousand kilometers. Very long distances will take a few days, even though we go with the flow. ”

Looking at the turbulent waves, Linley said to himself.

Who knew if a few days would be enough for Haeru to finish dissolving and absorbing the Saint-level magicite core. Linley himself had no experience of course when it came to the subject of peak stage magical beasts of the ninth rank absorbing magicite cores.

"Gates, why are you back inside? The view around the Yulan River is pretty good. "The third brother, Hazer, said in a loud voice.

From the Barker brothers, four stood in front of the fence, enjoying the beautiful view of the Yulan river. Only Gates returned to the cabin.

“Big brother and second brother have already made their breakthrough, third brother. You can watch, but I'm not in the mood. I don't want to waste time. I'll go back and practice. "Gates replied loudly.

Hazer was caught off guard.

Linley turned to look at Gates in surprise. Currently, only two of the five had mastered the level of 'holding something heavy as if light'. One of them is Barker, while the other is Gates. Gates is a very proud man. Linley knew this pretty well.

"Gates's right. "Fourth brother, Boone, nodded as well. “I'll go practice too. ”

A third brother, Hazer, follows Boone to the cabin as well, leaving only Barker and Ankh. The two exchanged looks, then started laughing.

“Second friend, you have to work hard. If Gates makes a breakthrough, he'll be stronger than you. "Barker laughed as he spoke to Ankh.

Ankh nodded, taking out two long-handled giant greataxes on his back. “I'm going to the back deck to train with my gun. ”

"I'll go with you . “Barker also releases the long-handled greatax.

Greataxes Barker and his long-suffered siblings are astounding. These are probably the heaviest weapons that exist in the modern world. £ 5300 each, they are quite suitable for the Death Warrior, famous among the Highest Fighters for their strength.

Zassler laughed as he stroked his white beard. “The five brothers really became hard workers. They made this old man feel a little embarrassed. ”

But despite saying that, Zassler continued to admire the local scenery.

At Zassler's current level, all he needed was a flash of insight. Training alone will not give you that.

Smiling, Linley stood in front of the ship. Slowly, Linley closed his eyes. The wind above the vast Yulan river was quite strong, and it swayed Linley's robe, causing Linley to sway slightly.

Linley actually became one with the wind, and could feel the movement of the wind elemental essence.

… .

Time flows like water. In the blink of an eye, four days had passed, and the ship had entered the territory of the Southwest Administrative Province. In two days or so, they should be able to reach the port they were heading to.

"Sister Linley is training?" Jenne said slowly.

Rebecca and Leena both shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

Right now, it was late at night, but Linley continued to stand on the deck of the ship, his eyes closed. If someone thought Linley was asleep, though, they would be wrong. Because every so often, a flash of purple light would pass through Linley's body.

The difference was, this time, Linley was not aiming for speed.

When he practiced in the 'Rippling Wind' technique, Linley's body was always surrounded by countless sword flashes. But right now, there was only one flash violet at a time.

No one knew what Linley was training.

"Holding something heavy as if it were light. Holding something light as if it were heavy. It can be as strong as a hurricane wind, or as gentle as a spring breeze. "After being trained for so long, Linley finally gained some insight with regards to the second stage of the Profound Truth Wind.

Deep Truth of the Wind, stage one – Rippling Wind. It relies on chasing the speed to the highest level.

In fact, once the speed of the technique reached a certain level, its attack power would also be extremely powerful. This was the reason why Linley could break through McKenzie's defense in an instant.

But the second stage of the Wind Profound Truth that Linley developed was a very unique type of attack.

When he attacked with his sword, sometimes the sword would flash like lightning, while at other times it would be as heavy as a mountain. In fact, this sword attack was extremely fast, but it gave the impression of constantly rippling and fluctuating between fast and slow.

That is the purpose of this technique.

"The profound truth of the Wind, stage two – Tempos of the Wind. ”

A smile was on Linley's face. He slashed through the air with Bloodviolet, and when that happened, he let out two very different impressions; one was that this attack was as fierce and explosive as a hurricane wind, one was, while the other is that it is soft and calm like the spring breeze blowing through a willow tree.

One technique with two opposing rhythms.

"These two completely opposite tempos, when combined together, can give birth to a blade made of air. "Linley continued to pursue his goal using his sword to create a 'Dimensional Edge' type of attack'.

'This 'Tempos of the Wind' was a single target attack.

Although its power was much lower than the 'Edge Dimension' spell, which was so powerful that it could break through the wall of reality itself, the power of the 'Tempo of the Wind' had already exceeded the power of the 'Rippling Wind' technique.

This is especially true in one-on-one combat.

“This second stage of The Wind Truths of the Wind, the Tempos technique of the Wind, should be able to pose a threat to peak-level Saint realm experts. "When Linley had argued with McKenzie, he had gained a better understanding of what peak Saint-level experts were like. “However, this 'Tempos of the Wind' technique is most likely one of the more fundamental mysteries of the Laws of the Wind that I have gained some insight into.

Linley had to admit that Tempos of the Wind was an extremely powerful technique.

But the 'Tempos of the Wind' can only be considered the most basic and most basic level of the 'Dimensional Edge' spell'. It was still a material, a physical attack, that the opponent could use to fight against qi or armor.

But the resonant vibrations generated by the 'Earth's Profound Truth' were clearly a higher level of attack. Those vibrations did not need to destroy the opponent's armor; it could only cut through it and attack the inside directly.

“For ordinary Saint-level experts, using Bloodviolet is enough. "Linley laughs. “Except, of course, I met some very strong peak Saint-level experts. ”

Saint-level Peak-level experts had various levels of strength as well.

For example, Stehle and the Holy Emperor were both peak-level Saint experts, but Stehle was much weaker than the Holy Emperor. After all, Holy Emperors were trained in the Magic Orchestra.

Of course, there were people who had never competed with Haydson, such as the Holy Emperor, or the Darkness Patriarch. They did not dare to compete against him, because their grand status meant that they could not afford to lose. Unless they were absolutely certain of victory, they would not compete.

………. .

The fifth day on the ship, around noon, just as Linley and the others were having lunch and chatting casually, suddenly ….

"Boss, hurry!" Bebe's urgent voice rang out in Linley's mind.

Without any hesitation, Linley immediately started running towards Haeru's private room. “You guys, keep eating. "He instructed as he entered Haeru's room.

Closing the door, Linley stared in astonishment.

"Rumb. ”It looks like under the skin of Blackcloud Panther, there is a small mouse running around, as his muscles and flesh are constantly moving. A black light surrounded his entire body. His eyes closed, Blackcloud Panther was constantly groaning in pain.

At the same time, the patterns on the Blackcloud Panther's body also began to change. Sometimes his four limbs would become snow-white, while then they would become completely black. Sometimes, his entire body turned snow-white….

Bizarrely.

The most astonishing thing was that the Blackcloud Panther's head was covered by two gusts of circulating blue and black energy.

“Bos, Haeru has been like this for a while. I don't know what to do either. "Bebe said with concern.

Linley looked at Haeru.

"Haeru. "Say Linley to him mentally.

"Ma .. sir. I'm doing fine! "Haeru's suffering voice sounded in Linley's mind. Linley forced himself to suppress his anxiety, just watching and waiting.

Linley's attention focused on Haeru's head. The most important part of magical beasts was their heads; their magicite cores were there, after all.

In the air above and around the Blackcloud Panther's head, two streams of blue and black energy continued to spin at high speed. Sometimes, the black energy would expand, but then a moment later, the amount of black energy would decrease, and the blue energy would increase in number.

It repeats itself!

And then, those two gusts of energy suddenly emitted a terrifying power. Even Linley was surprised. If these two gusts of energy were to explode, it was likely that the entire ship would turn into rubble.

"Rumb. "Linley's body immediately became covered with a layer of black scales. Without the slightest hesitation, Linley immediately turned into his Dragonform.

If he were not in the form of a Dragonblood Warrior, if these two gusts of energy exploded, Linley would not be able to accept it. Without mercy, Linley's dark golden eyes stared at Blackcloud Panther, his gaze as sharp as a dagger.

Suddenly, those two blue and black energy gusts returned to their previous calmness as they directly entered the Blackcloud Panther's skull. And then, Blackcloud Panther's body became calm as well, and the patterns on his body stopped changing.

Linley let out a stifled breath.

Currently, Blackcloud Panther's body was covered with blood beads. The transformation just now was a transformation both in terms of physical and spiritual.

The Blackcloud Panther opened its eyes, staring with grateful joy at Linley.

"You made it?" A hint of smile was on Linley's lips as he immediately returned to his human form. Merely, his upper body clothes were destroyed once again.

"Yes sir . These cold and growling words on the human tongue came out from the lips of Blackcloud Panther.

A faint burst of blue light appeared on Blackcloud Panther's body, gently wiping all the blood grains, returning them once again to a normal, shiny black color.

"Not bad . "Bebe floated to Blackcloud Panther, chuckling. “It's a good thing you didn't waste that Saint-level magicite core. If not…"

Haeru threw away his face.

He could guess that if he failed, Bebe would give him a crushing blow.

"Enough . Let's all go. "Said Linley after changing into another set of clothes.

Due to how the Dragonform transformation damaged his clothes, Linley had stored over a hundred sets of clothes in his interspatial ring. But of course, to the current Linley, the amount of money needed to buy clothes was a very small amount.

…

On the morning of the sixth day they spent on the ship, finally the ship reached the port they were heading to.

“We have finally arrived. ”Rebecca, Leena, and Jenne, the three women, all stared excitedly with bright eyes. But right at this moment, from the back deck, a loud, exploding, excited sound of laughter could be heard.

"Hmm?"

Linley, Zassler, and the others both turned to stare at the back deck, where Barker and his brothers had been training this entire time.

"Barker, you five, hurry up. We'll reach the beach. "Rebecca called out loudly.

"Come, come. “Barker and his brothers walked over, laughing loudly. All their eyes were fixed on Linley, and there was an expression of unbearable excitement on their faces.

Seeing the look on the faces of Barker and his brothers, Linley began to wonder. "These five brothers ... is it possible .. could it be that the others have broken through? "

Currently, of the five brothers, Barker's eldest brother and Ankh's second brother had reached the level of a Saint in power. The others, in their human form, were still only at the peak of the eighth rank.

"Master. "Barker's face was filled with joy. "Gates has broken through too!"

"Gates has broken through?"

Even though he had predicted it, Linley still felt a surge of joy and excitement. He could not help but to turn around and stare at Gates. Gates who was usually noisy and boisterous at this moment only scratched his head and beamed happily.

When they left Basil and boarded the ship, Linley's army consisted of four Saint-level fighters; Linley, Bebe, Barker, and Ankh. But after landing, Linley's army now consisted of six Saint-level experts.

Not a single Empire would dare to be disrespectful to such a monstrous power.

Looking behind Blackcloud Panther Haeru, then at the beaming Gates, Linley shouted with a heroic spirit, "Haha, everyone, get down! Le's go! We're heading to the imperial capital! "

"Let's go!" The five brothers also roared happily.
