Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 257 The Dragon's Gift
A thousand years ago, the empire built an extremely high city wall around its capital.

Even after the beast tide arrived, this thousand-year-old city wall was still in use. General Bude defended the wall, firmly blocking out the vast majority of dangerous species.

Meanwhile, the super dangerous species Destagul was lurking in the mountains near the city walls. It possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans and was lying in wait to find a weakness in General Bud and his army, intending to kill Bud in one blow when Bud was fighting a special dangerous species.

Destagur is surrounded by many powerful and dangerous creatures.

This part of the dangerous species has two functions.

Firstly, there's the protection. In this super dangerous species' memory, ordinary humans are weak, but when large groups of humans band together, they become extremely difficult to deal with. Only by gathering a large number of dangerous species' subordinates can one fight against such groups of humans.

Secondly, there is the need to store food. There are many dangerous species, and many of them hunt each other. Super dangerous species are at the top of the food chain.

In order to resist blizzards and for humans to seek the protection of super-dangerous species, it is only natural that super-dangerous species randomly select some of the lower-dangerous species as food... The law of the jungle is vividly displayed among the dangerous species.

When this Destagur first discovered Xu Feng, it was curious why a human would come alone as if he were going to his death... So, it let out a soft hiss, ordering the surrounding dangerous species to wipe out the human.

soon.

It realized something was wrong.

Near the place where the human was located, all the dangerous species inexplicably developed indestructible chains. Even the extremely powerful dragon-type dangerous species could not break free from those silver-white chains and could only lie on the ground struggling incessantly.

Moreover, that human's speed, though seemingly slow, was actually quite fast.

In just a few breaths, thousands of dangerous creatures were bound up like dumplings, completely unable to move.

Xu Feng will be cultivating in this world for five years this time. He has an extremely strong digestive ability, and these powerful and dangerous species will be his food reserves. If he kills too many at once, they will not be very fresh when he eats them in the future.

The super-dangerous species sensed danger... It absolutely could not let this strange human get close.

Didn't think much about it.

This Destagur opened its giant mouth, gathering energy to exhale.

"Is this the strength of a living super-dangerous species?"

Xu Feng gazed at the dragon-shaped super dangerous species not far away.

There was also a Distagra in the Imperial Arms of the Black Eyes, the Corpse of the Dead. When the girl was being tricked by Xu Feng to test Esdeath, that Distagra also made its move. Its breath was quite extraordinary, with power comparable to a high-yield nuclear bomb.

According to Xu Feng's estimation, the breath of this living super dangerous species was more than sixteen times stronger than that of the dead super dangerous species.

This level of breath attack is capable of destroying cities and piercing through hills.

"As expected of a Super Dangerous Type... It's a pity the charging animation took too long! Even without the all-seeing ability of the Five Senses, I could easily dodge this breath attack. Besides, I have the Imperial Arm Shangri-La, which can teleport people!"

A normal person can only use one Imperial Arm at a time.

Xu Feng, whose true energy is exceptionally abundant, is currently using three Imperial Arms simultaneously without any difficulty.

The Five Visions can predict enemy movements.

A dimensional matrix for spatial transfer.

The divine hand that precisely controls extraordinary energy.

Having mastered three Imperial Arms, Xu Feng was virtually invincible; as long as he didn't act recklessly, he would never fail.

Before the dragon breathed, he calmly used the Imperial Arms Dimensional Array: Shangri-La, instantly teleporting himself to the side of Destagur.

Then, at the very moment Destagur exhaled, he unleashed his true energy, charging towards the super dangerous species like a dragon.

After Xu Feng cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the tenth level, the air resistance he faced when he moved with all his might was extremely high. At this time, the air was more like 'water flow' to him. When he flew at full speed in the air, the Dragon Elephant True Essence would form an invisible dragon-shaped energy. The flight posture of that dragon-shaped energy in the air was very similar to swimming in water.

In this high-speed 'swimming', Xu Feng arrived beside the super dangerous species in an instant.

The towering elephant leg formed from true energy slammed into Destagur's mouth, knocking down this super dangerous species that was nearly eighty meters long.

The energy breath shifted its direction towards the sky, piercing through a large area of ​​clouds.

"Is the core of this super-dangerous species located in its throat?"

Before the super dangerous creature stood up, Xu Feng used his X-ray vision to scan its entire body.

The core of this super dangerous species was identified in an instant.

Then they found many of its weaknesses.

When dealing with such valuable targets, the all-seeing vision ability is particularly useful, allowing Xu Feng to dissect the target without wasting any time.

That super dangerous species also had good combat awareness. Before it even stood up, its tail had already lashed out like a long whip, producing a sharp sonic boom.

Having anticipated its attack, Xu Feng easily dodged it by simply shifting his body slightly.

At the same time, he took out a curved Imperial Arm, Moonlight Dance, from the Tun Tun Factory. This Imperial Arm can release wind blades and can also absorb the power of the moon. Its power is greatest when the moon is full.

However, Xu Feng only used it as a handy cold weapon.

The wind blades transformed from true energy are no less powerful than the Imperial Arms during the full moon.

Before Destagur could even stand up, it felt a sharp pain... its huge tail had been cut in half at its weakest point.

This caused it to lose its balance again after it had just stood up.

immediately.

Another series of wind blades landed on it.

The dragon's bone armor peeled away inch by inch, its body was gradually disintegrated, until only a head and half a spine remained.

At this time.

The voice of the Supreme God reached Xu Feng's mind—kill this super dangerous species, and he would receive a B-level side quest.

Xu Feng has many purposes for returning to the world of Akame ga Kill!: to collect the remaining Imperial Arms, obtain information on creating Imperial Arms, continue researching and absorbing exchangeable technological data, mine the world's rare resources, cultivate the several martial arts techniques he possesses, and research methods to unlock his genetic lock with external assistance...

Ranking high isn't Xu Feng's ultimate goal... However, having confirmed that killing super dangerous species yields such rich rewards, he will definitely continue to seek out and hunt super dangerous species in the coming years.

Xu Feng admired his masterpiece and said with a smile, "I suppose this is what it means to dissect an ox like a master butcher?"

With his all-seeing ability to see through weaknesses and his precise control of the Divine Hand, he did not use too much power when dismembering the dragon.

All the materials were perfectly preserved. The core white dragon jade was completely undamaged. In the future, once Xu Feng masters the technology to create Imperial Arms, this white dragon jade can be used as the main material for an Imperial Arm.

While Destagur, a super dangerous species, is generally not strong enough to create high-level Imperial Arms like Demon Possession or Demon Essence, he could easily create Imperial Arms of the Hundred-Armed Giant level.

Besides the biological materials that could be used to create artifacts, Xu Feng also collected materials including the reproductive glands of dragons...

This is a male dragon.

Xu Feng wasn't sure if super dangerous species could hybridize with other dangerous species, but since dangerous species could even hybridize with humans... he figured he could probably use the dragon's genetic cells to crossbreed with some dragon species of special dangerous species to create some decent experimental subjects.

—This is about whether Hsu Feng can achieve his 'freedom to eat dragon meat'.

While dragon meat in the Main God Space may seem cheap, the reward points required for large-scale exchanges are terrifying... Raising some 'edible' dragons is absolutely necessary.

The world of Akame ga Kill! has every opportunity to achieve this condition.

After collecting all the materials from Destagur into the Tuntun Factory, Xu Feng flashed back to the capital.

He took Tifa's hand and said, "Next, we're going to the Royal Fist Temple... Hopefully, the dangerous sea monsters there haven't been affected by this temperature drop."

Other methods to assist in unlocking the second-order gene lock are merely hypothetical.

The method used by the Imperial Fist Temple to assist in unlocking the second-tier gene lock has been passed down for hundreds of years, cultivating countless 'Rakshasa Demons' who have already unlocked the second-tier gene lock.

This is a method that can 100% help people unlock their second-order genetic lock!
On the way to the Imperial Fist Temple, located southeast of the capital.

Xu Feng once again deployed a large number of 'restraint garments'.

He had no intention of wasting energy trying to win over characters in the storyline; direct control and having sophisticated artificial intelligence take over the bodies of those targets was the simplest thing to do.

When Xu Feng entered the Royal Fist Temple.

He has controlled 80% of the martial arts practitioners in this sacred martial arts place. Most of these people are children of high-ranking officials who are studying here, and some are professional monks.

Only the most powerful can avoid this control.

But these people were powerless to resist Xu Feng's power; they were simply controlled in a different way.

The temple's accumulated wealth over hundreds of years fell into Xu Feng's hands.

soon.

Xu Feng was led by two monks to a lake.

He sensed something special about this place as soon as he arrived.

"This lingering aura is quite interesting..."

Xu Feng scooped up some lake water: "What's special isn't just the sea monster... but also the lake water! To be precise, it's the entire mountain!"

"Here... once died one... no, I should say many dragons died, right?"

Xu Feng sensed the lingering dragon's might from the surrounding area.

It's as if dragons are buried in this lake and the nearby mountains.

But when he used his all-seeing X-ray vision to search, he found no trace of the dragon.

It wasn't until Xu Feng scooped up some lake water and carefully examined its unique features that he discovered the clues.

The massive amount of dragon blood permeated the mountains here, nurturing special microorganisms. Rainwater washed the dragon blood cells from the mountains into the lake. The sea monsters in the lake relied on the dragon blood to grow from infancy, and continuously condensed the special substances and energy in the dragon blood. After decades of growth, they eventually had the effect of helping people become stronger.

This is an ecosystem based on the corpses of high-level dragons.

The sea monsters at the top of the food chain are like 'biological dragon blood refiners', refining the originally scattered dragon blood energy into themselves, turning themselves into very useful 'food' that can help people become stronger.

This auxiliary effect is not particularly outstanding.

Even with the training methods developed by the Imperial Fist Temple, it would still take several years or even more than a decade of long-term use to reach the level of unlocking the second-order gene lock.

of course.

Besides the most basic effect of unlocking the second-tier gene lock, this sea monster can also grant the user other abilities, such as developing the ability to control various organs throughout the body and extend arms and fingers. These are the special effects of the sea monster itself, in addition to the dragon blood.

The key reason why the Imperial Fist Temple was unable to breed this sea monster elsewhere was that they had not found more 'Dragonfall Lands'.

Of course... the dragons that fell in this Dragonfall Land are not the small dragons like Destagur that Xu Feng killed before... but super dragons whose blood can dye the mountains red. Even if there are no dragons of that level, a large number of dragons are needed to make up the numbers.

The existence of this land where dragons fell is thanks to the First Emperor of the Empire.

It's unlikely there will be many more 'Dragonfall Lands' of this level.

“Other worlds may have such places where dragons have perished... but the process by which this sea monster ‘refines’ dragon blood is just as lengthy,”

Upon hearing Xu Feng's question, the guide monk nodded and replied, "Master is right. When the First Emperor was forging Imperial Arms, he sent an army to hunt down several giant dragons in this area, including an enormous Tyrande. It is rumored that the super dangerous Tyrande that created the demon-possessed Tyrande was actually a cub of that Tyrande."

"The material for the demon-possessed character is a cub?" Xu Feng was a little surprised.

"The rumors are true." The monk replied somewhat uncertainly, "It is said that the Dangerous Species within this Imperial Arms set are still alive. If this rumor is true, even if it was a juvenile at the time, it should be fully grown by now."

Xu Feng chuckled.

"I never expected... that the training methods of the Imperial Fist Temple are also related to the Super Dangerous Type Tyrande. The importance of the Demon Possession Imperial Arm has increased again. Tsk tsk, Park Chang-ho is really lucky. Before he can fully understand it... no, that's not right. Letting Park Chang-ho fuse with Demon Possession to become Tyrande is also an option to continue the research. There's no need to be confined to the research in the form of the Imperial Arm."

After figuring out the secret of how the Royal Fist Temple unlocked the second-tier gene lock, Xu Feng was no longer worried that these 'cute' sea monsters would die in the blizzard.

They are incredibly resilient; this level of freezing won't kill them.

"The limiting factor for sea monster production is the amount of dragon blood washed down by rain. Adding Destagur's blood to the lake in batches should double the sea monster production in the next few years... In total, it should be enough to unlock the second-tier gene lock for about ten people."

Xu Feng pondered the gains from his trip to the Royal Fist Temple.

Finally, he shook his head again: "We still need to continue researching... The way the Imperial Fist Temple unlocks the second-tier gene lock takes too long. Tifa can return with me for more than ten years, and she will definitely be able to unlock the second-tier gene lock. Shoko and Mei have a chance to unlock it. Mei unlocks her gene lock so quickly and has higher talent, so she has a greater chance of unlocking the second-tier gene lock."

"It is unlikely that we can create a dozen or so cannon fodder who can unlock the second stage of gene lock at once, given our current capabilities."

"Fortunately, I have plenty of time this time... and I can also make use of a lot of manpower and resources!"

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "Despite a thousand years, the empire has made no progress and is still living off the legacy of the First Emperor. An empire that has wasted a thousand years... it's time to change its masters."
