Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

"The Forbidden City is right in front of us. Let's buy tickets and go in!"

"What tickets?"

"Because the Forbidden City is now a tourist attraction, we have to pay to enter the Forbidden City!"

"Oh, I see. Then go buy your ticket! Sister Hou Tu and I will be waiting here."

"I..." Jiang Hua finally went to buy the ticket reluctantly.

"Here, these are tickets for both of you."

"Okay, don't feel bad. I saw some good stuff in the Forbidden City. I might be able to help you find a great opportunity later!"

"What great opportunity?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Ning Xiang said mysteriously.

Ning Xiang looked around the structure of the Forbidden City.

"Sure enough, there must be someone who gave guidance in the construction of this Forbidden City."

"What's wrong?"

"Look, the construction of the Forbidden City, according to the theory of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, has completely formed a natural formation. Moreover, this formation is designed to condense the dragon energy and prevent it from leaking."

"As for the center point where the dragon energy gathers...it should be right there!"

Jiang Hua looked in the direction Ning Xiang pointed and saw the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Are you saying that the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the center of the formation?"

"That's right. From my observation, no one has touched this formation. This means no one has touched the dragon energy inside. This is a good thing. You got it for free."

After saying that, Ning Xiang brought Jiang Hua to attack the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Yes, this is indeed the center of the formation where the dragon energy is dense, but the formation has not yet been activated. We need to wait a while. When the sunlight can shine on the dragon throne, it means that the formation has been activated. Then I will help you absorb the dragon energy."

Time flies
Slowly the sun began to set, and its afterglow slowly spread into the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"It's activated. Jiang Hua, get ready. I'll start absorbing the dragon energy for you now."

Ning Xiang's hand seals quickly condensed and a barrier quickly formed.

A golden formation appeared under Ning Xiang's feet.

"The sky and earth are dark yellow, and all things return to their origin. Rise!"

Following Ning Xiang's delicate cry, the golden formation under Ning Xiang's feet slowly rose up, and a sense of vibration was felt over her for a moment.

"What's going on? Is this an earthquake?"

Everyone in the capital city ran outside in panic.

The reason for making such a big fuss was that Jiang Hua and the other two were unaware of the situation in the outside world.

The dragon on the dragon pillar of the Hall of Supreme Harmony seemed to come alive. It slowly began to break away from the pillar and began to circle around the golden formation.

"Congeal!"

Following Ning Xiang's hand prints, several golden dragons began to slowly condense into a bead.

Finally, Ning Xiang took down the bead floating in the void.

"Here you go, eat it!"

"What? You didn't lie to me, how can I eat this bead?"

He looked at Ning Xiang in surprise, thinking that Ning Xiang was really joking.

"Why would I lie to you? Don't be ungrateful. This is a great opportunity that most people won't encounter in their lifetime. If you hadn't met me, I don't know how long the dragon energy in this palace would have been preserved!"

"Yes, Jiang Hua, just listen to Ning Xiang and eat it. This dragon energy is a good thing, and it can help you increase your chances of breaking through the human realm."

"Okay, I'll eat it!" Jiang Hua finally made up his mind and took the bead from Ning Xiang's hand. He swallowed and stuffed the bead directly into her mouth.

Jiang Hua ate the bead and stayed there for a long time without anything happening.

"Huh! That's not right. This is not what I imagined!" Ning Xiang saw that Jiang Hua had not changed at all, and her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.

"Ah! I remembered, I forgot to activate this bead."

Jiang Hua looked at Ning Xiang in despair. If possible, Jiang Hua really wanted to beat her.

"I'm sorry, I haven't used dragon energy for a long time, and I forgot how to do it. I'll help you activate it now."

Ning Xiang drew a formation in the void, and then pushed the formation to Jiang Hua's stomach. Slowly, the formation disappeared on Jiang Hua's stomach.

"All right!"

“But I still didn’t…”

Jiang Hua wanted to say something else, but the changes inside his stomach interrupted him.

"So hot!"

"Hold on, this is the dragon energy at work."

"But why is there something running around in my stomach?"

"It's okay. Now you just need to concentrate on suppressing and absorbing the dragon energy in your stomach."

"Feel whether the Emperor's Dragon Qi is absorbed!"

[Yes][No] "Absorb!"

Start absorbing the emperor dragon energy!
Jiang Hua's consciousness entered a place where he suddenly heard shouts of killing.

"Soldiers, our country is behind us. We are fighting for territory, our families, wives, and children. If we lose today, the country behind us will also perish. Kill all the pirates and defend our country!!"

With the encouragement of the generals, the soldiers were also ready for battle, and for a while the military formation was filled with a sense of solemnity.

"Where is this place?"

Jiang Hua was very surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Come on!"

Following the general's order, the soldiers launched a charge. Soldiers from both sides fought against each other, and shouts of killing were heard one after another.

After a fierce battle, only a few soldiers were left alive on the battlefield except the generals. The Huns surrounded the generals and soldiers.

But Jiang Hua did not see any fear on the faces of the generals and soldiers.

"Brothers, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

"Well, we are defeated today, but we will die on the way to the charge. We want to let these Huns know that none of the descendants of my Ming Dynasty were born on their knees."

After saying this, General Zhu raised her sword and rushed forward.

"do not want!"

Jiang Hua tried to stop him but his body went through.

Jiang Hua watched with his own eyes as the general was shot to death by a hail of arrows after he had killed several Huns.

Slowly, the scene in front of Jiang Hua changed.

"Humph, how dare a mere Japanese pirate invade our Tang Dynasty."

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!"

The kings of all dynasties slowly flashed before Jiang Hua's eyes. Without exception, all of them dedicated their lives to the territory of China. There were also the soldiers who fought against the Japanese pirates and shed their blood, but Jiang Hua did not see any fear of death on their faces.

"This"

Jiang Hua was shocked by the scene before him. This was the dragon of China, this was the spiritual heritage of China, and it was not afraid of any Japanese pirates!

"boom--"

It was as if something inside Jiang Hua's body was broken, and Jiang Hua's momentum continued to rise.

"Roar--"

With a loud roar, a golden five-clawed dragon coiled around Jiang Hua.

"The system absorbed a large amount of dragon energy and began to upgrade. Now the system only retains basic functions."

"What? Starting to upgrade at this time?"

Jiang Hua wanted to say something else, but the scene before him made him speechless.

He saw kings from all dynasties standing in front of him with smiles on their faces.

"this?"

A faint golden light appeared on their bodies and began to flow towards Jiang Hua.

"please!"

All the kings bowed to Jiang Hua and then slowly disappeared. This was like a legacy, but more like a TOEFL score. What they wanted was for China to stand longer and longer.

Finally the inheritance ended, and the scene in front of Jiang Hua returned to display. He saw Ning Xiang looking at him with a smile.

"How does it feel?"

"Shocking!"

"Use this power well!"

"I will." Jiang Hua looked at the throne above and assured Mr. Zheng very seriously.

"Okay, we originally planned to go out and play, but now it's already evening. It's really annoying!" Ning Xiang said angrily with a pout.

"Ha ha!"

The three returned to Panjiayuan
"I'm going to sleep first. Jiang Hua, remember you must take me out to play tomorrow!"

"Good~"

After Jiang Hua agreed, Ning Xiang went to bed contentedly.

“Jiang Hua…”

"Hou Tu, you should go to bed first, I have something else to do!"

After saying this, Jiang Hua went to his study and released the five-clawed golden dragon.

"Is this the spiritual heritage of China?"

Jiang Hua couldn't calm down as he looked at the golden dragon in front of him. What he saw today was too shocking. (End of this chapter)
