In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 174 Entering the Primordial Chaos, Seeking the True Dragon

After Zhang Hong confirmed that Lu Zhao was out of danger, Tu Bin presented him with three documents to sign.

Declaration of the right to use supernatural powers, regulations for the use of supernatural powers, and declaration of voluntary inheritance of supernatural powers.

This is a necessary procedure to clarify the attribution of supernatural powers, regulate the behavior of those with extraordinary abilities, and include a disclaimer.

If any problems arise after the inheritance of the Divine Bone, the Federation will not bear any responsibility, in order to avoid disputes.

Inheriting supernatural life bones inherently carries certain risks, with some of the more dangerous sequences having persistently high mortality rates.

Those who are associated with the Five Elements are prone to harming themselves; those who are associated with the mental are prone to going insane; and those who are associated with the physical may die suddenly.

Improper development of life and use of supernatural powers are often accompanied by risks.

After signing the documents, Tu Bin checked them, handed the attachments to Lu Zhao, and then led his team away.

Zhang Hong said, "I will stay here for another half month. You need to come to the hospital every three days. I need to observe your changes and prevent any problems from arising."

"clear."

Lu Zhao left the hospital carrying a two-meter-long black iron box. He placed the box in the back seat and drove away from the city.

Suddenly, he realized that someone was following him.

Under the probe of mental energy, nine third-tier extraordinary beings and one person with a relatively weak aura were following him.

'Is this the team escorting the life bones?'

Lu Zhao made this guess because the number of people matched the overall strength too well.

His mental power can detect third-tier extraordinary individuals, but beyond that, he can only rely on experience to make judgments.

For example, among a group of extraordinary individuals, there is one with a very weak aura.

Lu Zhao slowed down the car, allowing the pursuers to come within a kilometer. With the divine vision he possessed after reaching the first level of perfection, he "saw" the faces of the pursuers.

It was indeed a special forces team escorting the life bones.

'What are they trying to do? Are they planning to ambush and kill me?'

A sense of crisis arose in Lu Zhao's heart, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Tu Bin was clearly one of Liu Wuhou's men; otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to escort him. It was more like they were fishing, trying to lure the enemy out.

Because of his profession in his previous life, Lu Zhao was very familiar with this method.

However, we still need to confirm this.

He took out his phone and dialed Lin Zhiyan's number.

"Hey……"

Lin Zhiyan seemed to have just woken up.

Lu Zhao said, "I was being followed by the team that was escorting the life bone, but they didn't notify me."

"what?"

Lin Zhiyan jumped out of bed, then quickly calmed down and asked, "Is the team leader named Tu Bin?"

"Yes."

"There shouldn't be any problem. Uncle Tu is my dad's old comrade-in-arms. He won't harm you."

Lin Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you need me to make a call and ask for you?"

"No need, they're probably just trying to fish."

"Then you pay attention to safety."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhao observed the road conditions while pondering the situation.

It's highly unlikely that the Buddhist sect will intervene; they obtained the Horned Dragon Bow, but they're not capable of subduing dragons and tigers.

No one would overturn the table for a little bit of profit, and it doesn't really fit the current atmosphere of federal government.

The vehicle left the city and entered the Ant Ridge area.

Lu Zhao was certain that nothing would happen, and he glanced at the black iron box out of the corner of his eye.

The Horned Dragon Bow is very heavy, weighing about 100 pounds.

It's not too heavy for me; I'll get used to it. Besides, once I overcome that mental hurdle, my muscle strength will increase further, so weight won't be a problem.

This bow is an alternative sniper rifle; it's not for close combat, so flexibility isn't a factor.

However, the issue of turning points in emergencies must be taken into account; a length of two meters is too long and makes it difficult to move in confined spaces.

This could affect your rotation speed, thus delaying your opportunity or allowing the enemy to get close.

According to the information provided by Zhang Hong, the recorded inheritors of the Horned Dragon Bow in the Federation basically all used the Qi Cultivation Method, and the use of this bow can be roughly divided into three stages.

The first stage is taming, which involves suppressing the dragon energy of the Horned Dragon Bow to prevent it from affecting one's mind.

The second stage is drawing the bow. Each day, a certain amount of Qi is consumed to replenish the power of the Horned Dragon Bow. The longer the charging time, the greater the power.

The third stage is the ability to retract and extend freely, which, as the name suggests, means to retract the Diablos Bow into the body and make it a part of the body.

The specific form of this stage varies from person to person, and there are significant differences between each individual.

For example, the Diablos Bow replaces the right arm bone all the way down the spine. To use the Diablos Bow, the hand bone will rapidly proliferate, transforming into a bow.

Others become part of the blood, or even hair.

Due to the nature of life development, any life-boning supernatural power cannot avoid directly replacing a part of the physical body.

The ancient method did not have this flaw. Legend has it that Xue Rengui, a general of the Tang Dynasty, directly transformed the bow into Qi.

When needed, a slight movement of Qi will cause the Horned Dragon Bow to appear naturally.

I should ask my master to see if he can help me.

Lu Zhao stepped on the gas and returned to the camp safely.

The special forces team following behind also followed, and eventually drove the vehicle into the woods and hid it near the camp.

Tu Bin and nine third-tier transcendents disappeared into the forest like ghosts, setting up camp on the hillsides surrounding the camp, waiting for the possible appearance of rats.

This mission was not only for escort, but also for deterrence.

To prevent some desperate individuals from killing Lu Zhao outright, Tu Bin thought it unlikely; the Buddhist sect wouldn't overturn the table for a mere Heavenly Divine Power. Their goal was to acquire the Heavenly Divine Power, thereby enhancing their sect's standing within the Federation and even securing a seat in the Hall of Martial Virtue.

It was not about rebelling, nor was it about being an enemy of the Federation.

Lu Zhao was merely a second-tier transcendent being; his special status was not of paramount importance, and his symbolic significance outweighed his practical value.

Special forces teams are more of a precaution; history is full of fools who come up with brilliant ideas that cause the wheels of history to go off track.

If Lu Zhao were to die suddenly now, the Buddhist community would not only not be happy, but would also feel that someone wanted to harm this old monk.

They will definitely be the first to jump out and clarify.

Camp area.

Upon Lu Zhao's return, he was inevitably asked by Zhang Like and others to look at the Horned Dragon Bow.

Most of them possess only weak or mediocre supernatural powers, and some have no supernatural powers at all.

Not everyone can acquire a useful supernatural power; most people would rather have none than something of poor quality.

Because supernatural powers increase metabolism, making life development more difficult. Furthermore, a normal person can only accommodate one supernatural power, and once a supernatural power sequence is selected, it is very difficult to change it.

It would be better to continue development, apply to the Federation for better supernatural abilities, and then accommodate them, at least those that can be promoted in the sequence.

This is the first time Zhang Like and others have come into contact with the powerful level of the Great Divine Power Sequence, and it may very well be their only chance.

Old Zhang picked up the Horned Dragon Bow with some difficulty and asked, "Why doesn't this bow have a bowstring?"

Lu Zhao explained, "It takes a month of Qi to cultivate the bowstring, and it can only be used once a month."

Zhang Like said, "So long? Then the power must be enormous."

Lu Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. We can try it in a month."

At 1 p.m., Lu Zhao returned to his room with the Horned Dragon Bow.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the Horned Dragon Bow on his lap with both hands.

Use its own life force to nurture the Horned Dragon Bow.

About ten minutes later, the Horned Dragon Bow stopped absorbing Qi, and the patterns on the bow became brighter.

Lu Zhao drank a bottle of Red Flower Broth to replenish his energy. Today, the consumption of the Horned Dragon Bow had been quite high, no less than a high-intensity battle.

After taking a short break to digest the supplement, he glanced at the time; it wasn't even two o'clock yet.

Today is a holiday, so I don't need to go to work.

"It's time to go see my master."

Lu Zhao sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, entering his spiritual world.

He needed to ask his master about the Horned Dragon Bow and the Five Elements Pill.
-

Hunyuan.

Lu Zhao entered Hunyuan and saw an old Taoist priest sitting outside the temple, seemingly playing with goldfish.

He approached, cupped his hands, bowed, and said, "Master."

Although it had happened many times, Lu Zhao was still not quite used to these ancient customs and etiquette.

The old Taoist priest looked up and cast his gaze, his calm eyes reflecting Lu Zhao's figure.

A faint wisp of dragon energy swirled around his soul.

"The second supernatural power you absorbed was the Horned Dragon Bow?"

Lu Zhao asked in surprise, "Master, you know about the Horned Dragon Bow?"

The old Taoist priest said, "The Horned Dragon Bow has been sought after since ancient times. The most famous example is Xue Rengui's three arrows that settled the Tianshan Mountain. Among the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, very few supernatural powers can rival it."

Lu Zhao was surprised to hear such a high evaluation of the Horned Dragon Bow from his master.

Among the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, very few supernatural powers can rival them.

But the information is clearly not like that; at least it doesn't mention anything about top-tier supernatural powers below the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.
Lin Zhiyan never mentioned it to him, only saying that the Horned Dragon Bow was a good fit for him.

He asked, "Master, you have such a high opinion of it, so why is this Horned Dragon Bow only rated as 'Powerful'? It's at least one 'Powerful' level away from being rated as 'Heavenly Gang' or 'Earthly Fiend'."

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "Because the Horned Dragon Bow was destroyed during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, do you know what its other use was?"

Lu Zhao shook his head.

The old Taoist priest then asked, "Are you feeling restless right now?"

Lu Zhao nodded and said, "According to the information I obtained, this is a side effect of the Horned Dragon Bow, which will increase a person's libido."

Lu Zhao was quite wary of this, as countless things throughout history have been ruined by matters of the lower body.

In ancient times, Cao Cao killed three virtuous men with one cannon shot. Today, many officials resist the temptation of money, but cannot escape the allure of beautiful women.

The lower body can really turn a person into an idiot.

Lu Zhao is feeling fine now. He only feels a slight heat in his chest from time to time, but most of the time he is normal.

He is a mental superhuman who has always had strong self-control and is unaffected by side effects.

"This is actually another major function of the Diablos Bow."

The old Taoist priest said, "It can prevent the loss of primordial yang, temper the physical body with dragon energy, and ultimately cultivate a body without leakage."

"Since the birth of this supernatural power, it has been fought over by countless people. Originally, as long as it was held for a long enough time, the wear and tear from constantly changing owners could be ignored, but the Horned Dragon Bow of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had almost one owner per month."

"Those people used the horned dragon bow as an aphrodisiac, which was truly depraved and immoral. By the time it reached the Ming Dynasty, it was already in a state of disrepair."

Lu Zhao asked curiously, "Is this flawless body very powerful?"

The old Taoist priest replied, "If you possess a flawless body, then the chance of advancing to the fifth rank is 90%. The remaining 10% can only be due to an accident or you neglecting your cultivation."

At this point, he sighed and said, "When I was retracing my foundation-building journey back then, I also considered using the Horned Dragon Bow, but unfortunately my cultivation was too shallow at the time, and I was unable to repair the Horned Dragon Bow."

It's almost a 100% guarantee of becoming a Marquis Wu?!
If that's the case, it truly deserves to be called a top-tier supernatural power below the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.

Lu Zhao's breathing became slightly heavier, but quickly calmed down.

Even if it was great, that's all in the past.

Suddenly, the old Taoist priest changed the subject, saying, "With your current level of cultivation, Master, perhaps you can try to repair it."
