Chapter 36 Using Dragon Blood
After saying goodbye to Jiang Fang, Chen Yuan returned to Jiangnan Pavilion. He first entered the virtual space to update his power data, then exited and dialed the phone number reserved in the contract.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Hello," a deep voice came from the phone.
Chen Yuan stated directly, "I am Chen Yuan from the Elite Training Camp, and my combat power amplitude has already met the second condition of the martial arts school contract."
There was a moment of silence on the phone, as if they were verifying something, before a deep voice spoke again: "Verified, student Chen Yuan's combat power amplitude is 22.08, which meets the second condition."
Although Chen Yuan's power level increased to 4.6, the Trial Tower level remained at 4.8. This is because the C stage only has three levels: 4.7, 4.8, and 5.0. As long as the level is not cleared, it is considered to be 4.8.
Currently, Chen Yuan is able to kill all the monsters in Phase C, but it takes 54 minutes, exceeding the 50-minute time limit.
Chen Yuan estimated that once his power reached around 4.8, he should be able to pass the level within the time limit. However, he was in no hurry and only regarded the place as a training ground to hone his swordsmanship.
If the Gale Sword Technique is not perfected in a day, his power output will not reach level 5, making it difficult to meet the third condition.
At this moment, the voice on the phone continued: "According to the terms of the agreement, your reward is: an SS-level combat suit, a complete set of weapons, a Black God set, a portion of Dragon Blood, and three sets of any secret manuals."
"Please tell me the details of the combat suit and weapons you need, as well as the names of the three sets of manuals."
Chen Yuan quickly reported the specifications for combat uniforms and weapons. As for the manuals, he randomly selected three 'SS' level manuals, which were created by planetary-level experts.
"The information has been recorded. Your reward will be delivered to the training camp within an hour. Please wait patiently." The person on the other end of the phone hung up after saying that.
So Chen Yuan waited in the Jiangnan Pavilion, reading the secret manual as he went.
An hour later, the truck carrying the resources arrived on time. Chen Yuan went to the entrance of the training camp, took the resources, and then returned.
It was still that same basement.
Opening the combination lock box, Chen Yuan ignored the combat uniforms and weapons this time; he mainly looked at two things.
Black God Set, and Dragon Blood.
"With the Black God Set, who cares about combat suits?" Chen Yuan stroked the box containing the Black God Set, a smile spreading across his face.
The so-called Black God Suit is what it's called on Earth; its official name is Tier 1 Force Suit, which is a cosmic suit worn by planetary-level beings.
Its material is extremely tough, making it difficult for even planetary-level powerhouses to damage. Furthermore, its greatest feature is that it can change its shape at will.
It can be transformed into everyday clothing, various decorations, and can also be extended to cover the entire body, forming a protective layer without any blind spots on the skin.
The most amazing thing is its defensive performance, which can offset 90% of the impact force. If a punch of 100,000 kilograms hits you, you will only receive 10,000 kilograms of impact, and the impact will be evenly distributed throughout your body.
This means that once a War God dons the Black God Set, it is almost impossible for an opponent of the same level to kill him. They can only rely on brute force to wear him down little by little until he is killed by the shock.
But this is difficult to do, since the other party won't be stupid enough to stand still and wait to die.
"With the Black God Set, it means that no one below the planetary level can kill me, including mentalists." Chen Yuan opened the box and took out the black gloves inside—this was the Black God Set itself.
Wearing gloves, Chen Yuan waited patiently.
According to the instruction manual, once the Black God Suit comes into contact with the human body, it will automatically penetrate the skin and absorb blood to complete the "recognition of master" process.
After a short while, Chen Yuan felt a slight tingling sensation in his fingers; this was the Black God Set absorbing his blood.
Chen Yuan waited quietly. About fifteen minutes later, he suddenly felt that he could control the 'glove'. With a thought, the glove immediately changed, forming a thin black film on his body, as if he had an extra layer of skin.
Chen Yuan picked up the SS-grade Flowing Light Battle Sword and slashed it hard against his arm, but it was as if he had cut into incredibly tough cowhide, leaving not even a scratch.
"Not bad, really not bad." Chen Yuan exclaimed twice, then with a thought, he put it away, turning it into a jet-black wristband.
Then he opened the box containing the 'dragon blood'.
Similar to chalcedony, both are liquids contained in test tubes, but unlike the greenish-blue chalcedony, dragon's blood is golden in color.
"This is dragon blood worth 800 billion." Chen Yuan held the test tube up to the light, watching the golden liquid shimmer with a mesmerizing light, and couldn't help but sigh.
After reading the instructions, I confirmed that the method of using dragon blood is the same as in the original story; simply apply it to the body to achieve the desired effect.
So Chen Yuan took off his shirt, lay flat on the ground, pulled out the test tube stopper, and poured the dragon blood onto his hand. The golden blood was incredibly thick, like mercury.
Chen Yuan smeared the dragon blood in his hand onto his body.
The amount of dragon blood in the test tube was not much, only one-third of the volume, so Chen Yuan used up the dragon blood on his hands after applying it to only a few places. Then he lay on the ground and waited.
Before long, Chen Yuan felt the area where the dragon blood had been applied begin to heat up, and he knew that the dragon blood was starting to take effect.
"It is said that the dragon blood will cause extremely intense pain during its effect. Even Luo Feng was knocked unconscious by the pain back then. I don't know how painful it was." Chen Yuan thought his pain tolerance was pretty good. After all, he had endured such painful movements when he was practicing the Yi Jin Jing.
However, as time went on, the energy of the dragon's blood seeped into the body through the skin and spread to the limbs and bones.
"Hiss—" Chen Yuan gasped sharply, the intense pain causing him to clench his teeth. "It really hurts."
Moreover, as time went on, the heat flowing into the body continued to intensify, and the temperature kept rising, as if the blood in the whole body was boiling.
"Is this the excruciating pain that comes from consuming dragon blood? How did Luo Feng endure it back then?" Chen Yuan clenched his fists, his face pale. "Oh, I remember Luo Feng eventually fainted from the pain, haha."
Chen Yuan, finding a bittersweet humor in thinking about Lord Luo's dark past.
However, as time went by, the pain in his body not only did not lessen, but became more intense, penetrating deep into his bones, causing Chen Yuan's body to twitch involuntarily.
"Why haven't I fainted yet?" Chen Yuan had been enduring the pain for a long time, but he was puzzled as the pain intensified.
"Could it be because meditation improves willpower? Yes, willpower is linked to the strength of consciousness."
With this in mind, Chen Yuan forced himself to endure the excruciating pain, opened the panel, and glanced at the status of the meditation technique.
"Hmm? The proficiency has reached 81%, it was only 74% a moment ago!" Despite the excruciating pain in his body, Chen Yuan focused his attention on the panel and pondered, "So, it's because my consciousness strength has reached the planetary level, and my willpower is stronger, that I didn't faint."
"But it really hurts!" Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain. "Since my proficiency in meditation has improved as a result... well, I'll just treat this as a trial and use it to further improve my meditation skills."
Having made up his mind, Chen Yuan closed his eyes and tried to enter a meditative state despite the excruciating pain.
But this is very difficult to do. The most important thing in meditation is focus, and given Chen Yuan's current situation, it is very difficult for him to maintain focus.
He needs to fight against the pain while concentrating his will and practicing meditation.
In this extreme state, proficiency in meditation techniques begins to increase rapidly.
83%……86%……89%……92%……96%……98%……
Gradually, Chen Yuan's expression suddenly calmed down, as if no pain could affect him. He was focused on meditation, with nothing else on his mind, and even forgot that he was using dragon blood.
On the panel, the progress bar for meditation has been stuck at 100% for quite some time.
Time ticked by, and suddenly, the panel flickered slightly, and information about the meditation method was quietly updated...
Two hours later, Chen Yuan opened his eyes and felt warm and comfortable all over his body. The pain he had just experienced seemed like an illusion.
"Has the drug worn off?" Chen Yuan looked at his body, which was covered in a layer of black grime. He then opened the control panel and took a look.
