Chapter 269: True Dragon Power!

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: True Dragon Power!

Time flew by in the blink of an eye.

Hours passed until the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon. Only then did the divine radiance around Luo Cheng begin to subside, and the ethereal, celestial melodies fade into silence.

After a moment, he opened his eyes. His gaze, as brilliant as the stars, carried an intangible sense of oppression.

“So this is the Ninth Layer of the True Dragon Technique!”

Luo Cheng’s face revealed an extraordinary expression.

He didn’t even need to focus to sense it—his physical body’s overwhelming strength!

His physique had become incredibly resilient. With a mere tightening of his fist, his whole body erupted with waves of blood energy like crashing tides, an unparalleled sense of power surging through him. It felt as if a single punch could shatter the very heavens and earth!

Bang!

At random, he threw a punch, and the air instantly released a muffled explosion!

“Eight hundred thousand pounds! No, it has exceeded eight hundred thousand pounds!”

In this punch, Luo Cheng had used no techniques at all. By relying solely on the strength of his physical body, he was already nearing the titanic force of one million pounds that Tuoba Lie had described as the beginning of the Dragon Power stage. The destructive force could only be described as terrifying!

“Let’s see what this True Dragon Power truly is!”

With a calm mind, Luo Cheng turned his attention to his dantian.

In his dantian, nine Essence Energy Vortices spun rapidly, continuously absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Energy. At their center, a pillar of Essence Energy Spiritual Light stretched skyward, reaching into the Heart’s Secret Treasure!

The Heart’s Secret Treasure hung suspended like a blazing sun, with surging essence and energy rolling forth like tidal waves, resembling an active volcano in the midst of eruption!

At the core of the nine Essence Energy Vortices, a Zhengrong Dragon Energy coiled its body!

The Dragon Energy had two horns on its head, five claws on its limbs, and was clad in Nine-colored Scale Armor. Its bearing was majestic, like an Ancient True Dragon soaring through the clouds and grasping stars in its claws!

The Dragon Energy lay in hibernation, its entire body shrouded with flowing nine-colored radiance. Eternal and unwavering, it emanated an ancient and profound aura, evoking both mystery and grandeur.

Hmm!

Suddenly, Luo Cheng felt a jolt in his heart.

He noticed that the Nine-colored Scale had somehow appeared naturally below the chin of the Zhengrong Dragon Energy.

“Could it be… that this Nine-colored Scale is originally a dragon scale from an Ancient True Dragon?”

Luo Cheng was truly shaken. For a moment, countless thoughts raced through his mind.

A short while later, he steadied himself and set aside his chaotic thoughts.

This Nine-colored Scale was far too mysterious. At his current strength, there was no way for him to uncover its secrets.

All he could do was wait until he became stronger, go to the Ji Family to find his mother, and slowly seek the truth!

“For now, let’s first see what this True Dragon Power entails!”

Thinking of the Ji Family, Luo Cheng’s emotions churned uneasily. He took a deep breath and circulated his True Dragon Technique.

In an instant, the dormant Zhengrong Dragon Energy stirred. Its scales scraped together, producing a metallic clanging sound. Slowly, it opened its eyes—those dragon eyes dazzling like suns high in the sky. A radiant, sacred light illuminated his entire dantian, its divine glow filling Luo Cheng’s entire body.

In that moment, Luo Cheng’s energy and blood completely boiled, surging like waves and billowing with a deafening roar. His vigorous vitality radiated outward like a pillar of smoke ascending into the heavens, exuding a chilling, spine-tingling aura!

His blood surged like the tides; his essence roared like a dragon!

True Dragon Power!

For a moment, Luo Cheng felt an incredible illusion.

It was as if he had transformed into an Ancient True Dragon capable of grasping stars and plucking the moon!

He opened his eyes and stood abruptly, his entire presence as immovable as a towering mountain!

Striding over to the fourth Training Post, Luo Cheng reached out and grabbed hold.

Crack!

The Training Post, with defenses equivalent to that of a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artist, was instantly torn apart like tofu under his grip and casually molded into a solid iron ball without the slightest effort!

“As expected! So this so-called True Dragon Power is what Tuoba Lie referred to as Dragon Power! But the True Dragon Technique doesn’t just help me achieve a million-pound force—it directly amplifies my strength by a million pounds!”

Looking at the iron ball in his hand, Luo Cheng was simultaneously astonished and exhilarated.

What did it mean to gain an additional million pounds of force?

His body’s natural strength already exceeded eight hundred thousand pounds. With the addition of True Dragon Power, his total strength soared to nearly two million pounds—almost double the Dragon Power!

Typically, a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artist would have a strength of only around five to six hundred thousand pounds. Only Cross Training Martial Artists, who constantly broke through their physical limits, had a chance of surpassing those boundaries!

But achieving a strength of one million pounds and cultivating Dragon Power was extraordinarily difficult!

Even Tuoba Lie, a super-genius born with a Nine-star Martial Soul and trained in body refinement from a young age, had no confidence in attaining Dragon Power at the Tongxuan Realm. This demonstrated just how challenging it was.

Yet now, Luo Cheng’s physical strength had already reached nearly double the Dragon Power!

“Heh, with this, claiming first place in the Outer Sect Tournament will be a mere formality!”

“Qi Guyun, if your Crown Prince Hall seeks to take my life, then come at me!”

Feeling the transformative changes in his body, Luo Cheng’s eyes gleamed with steadfast confidence and a sharp, cutting edge.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong…

At that moment, a distant bell resonated in the air.

Luo Cheng recognized the sound—it was the bell summoning the elders and disciples for the beginning of the Outer Sect Tournament.

He activated the Primordial Breath Technique, masking his aura, then returned to his room to change into fresh clothes. With the Flame Trace Sword at his side, he strode out.

At a fork in the mountain path, four figures stood waiting.

Among them, the one at the center was Elder Chen Xuan. As the Second Elder of the Outer Sect, he naturally could not miss such a grand event as the Outer Sect Tournament.

Standing beside him were Chen Lingyu, Yuan Zhilan, and Gu Lingfeng.

“Master! Senior Sister!”

Luo Cheng stepped forward to give his greetings and nodded slightly toward Yuan Zhilan and Gu Lingfeng.

Chen Lingyu said, “Junior Brother, I went looking for you two days ago, but there was no response.”

Luo Cheng replied, “I’ve been in seclusion cultivating these past few days. Senior Sister, was there something you needed?”

Chen Lingyu opened her mouth to speak but paused when she met Luo Cheng’s calm, unwavering gaze and sensed the faint sharpness in his demeanor. She let out a wry smile and said:

“I originally wanted to persuade you not to participate in the Outer Sect Tournament, but it seems that won’t be necessary. So, tell me, have you made any progress during your seclusion?”

Hmm!

Just as Luo Cheng was about to respond, Elder Chen Xuan suddenly let out a soft “hmm” of surprise, staring intently at Luo Cheng. With a note of hesitation, he asked:

“Luo Cheng, your cultivation…”

Luo Cheng knew that relying solely on the concealment technique of the Primordial Breath Technique would not fool his master.

There was no need to hide it, so he nodded and said:

“During this seclusion, I made some modest gains. I am now at the peak of the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer.”

Hiss!

As soon as the words left his mouth, the sound of collective gasps filled the air.

Chen Lingyu blurted out, “Junior Brother! You’ve advanced to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Peak? That’s impossible… Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Peak Martial Artists unify their blood and energy, achieving a balance of energy and essence with overwhelming vitality…”

She did not finish her sentence.

Instead, Luo Cheng directly unleashed the aura of a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Peak Martial Artist.

The overwhelming pressure left Yuan Zhilan and Gu Lingfeng feeling an oppressive weight on their hearts, as if they were standing before a primordial beast!

“It’s true—the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Peak! Ten days ago, you were clearly still at the Middle Stage of the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer!”

Chen Lingyu was wide-eyed with disbelief.

In just ten days, Luo Cheng had advanced from the Middle Stage to the Peak Stage of the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer—crossing two boundaries in such a short span. How was this even possible?

When she had achieved the same breakthrough, it had taken her two to three months!

Yuan Zhilan and Gu Lingfeng were equally stunned, rendered speechless by the sheer disparity.

Months ago, their cultivation levels had surpassed Luo Cheng’s. Now, even after several months in the Outer Sect, they remained at the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, while Luo Cheng had already reached the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Peak!

The gap between them was not just significant; it was as vast as the heavens and the earth!

Chen Xuan’s expression carried a trace of deep thought. It seemed he had underestimated Luo Cheng, but after a moment, he regained his composure.

“It must be because of the Golden Body Realm you’ve cultivated! The Golden Body Realm is considered the ultimate foundation of Supreme Martial Arts, or rather, the pinnacle foundation of body refinement. Rumor has it that those who achieve this realm possess physiques capable of utterly dominating Martial Artists of the same level! Body refinement offers an inherent advantage.”

“The Tongxuan Realm Second Layer emphasizes refining energy and strengthening blood, which aligns perfectly with body cultivation. Combined with a sufficient supply of spirit pills and spiritual medicine for boosting vitality and blood, rapid progress is only natural. Luo Cheng, have you consumed a large number of spiritual materials recently?”

Luo Cheng nodded.

Chen Lingyu exclaimed, “That’s unbelievably fast! Is the Golden Body Realm truly that miraculous?”

Chen Xuan remained silent.

The Great Yue Dynasty hadn’t seen anyone achieve the Golden Body Realm in centuries, so even he lacked a full understanding.

But this explanation seemed the only plausible one.

After all, it couldn’t be that Luo Cheng was somehow advancing so quickly by relying on an unborn Martial Soul, could it?

“Let’s get going—the Outer Sect Tournament is about to begin.”
