After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Just like when I was fighting the Golden Core Flood Dragon, the spear faded back to its original color.

The only way to upgrade it permanently is with the blood of a true dragon, but true dragons have long since disappeared from the world, so where can we find blood to upgrade it?

Thinking of this, a dark glint flashed in Long Wanyan's bright eyes.

She quickly shook her head, no longer caring. After all, a semi-divine weapon was already extremely rare, and her current cultivation level was sufficient. If she went any higher, she might lose control and risk the weapon devouring its master.

She gripped the spear tightly, her mind still on high alert, as the Nascent Soul Realm dragon that Xiao Yu had mentioned had not yet appeared.

However, after waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Yu's so-called Nascent Soul Realm dragon did not appear at all.

Only the night wind whistles across the ice.

Long Wanyan gripped the spear with one hand and used her divine sense to search the bottom of the pool beneath the ice.

Without the Golden Core Flood Dragon's interference, she searched the entire deep pool thoroughly, finding nothing but the dead dragon's corpse.

"Strange...is there none?"

She muttered something to herself, then glanced at the flying sword, which was also circling in the sky, with a complicated expression.

Her gaze then fell upon the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit growing on the fruit tree not far away. In any case, she decided to pick the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit first.

Thinking of this, she walked towards the fruit tree in the center. Apart from the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit, which was nearly six hundred years old, she put all the other fruits, large and small, that were one or two hundred years old, along with the fruit tree, into her storage ring.

These are all rare treasures. Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit can greatly enhance a cultivator's physical strength, making it a favorite among body-cultivating cultivators and martial artists.

Nothing happened during that time; the frozen surface of the pool remained serene.

Long Wanyan also collected the corpse of the Golden Core Flood Dragon, as Golden Core Flood Dragons are quite rare.

Just as she was pondering whether to break the ice and take away the dragon from the bottom of the lake.

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she realized what was happening.

Wasn't that a half-dragon? What, it turned into a dragon?

The next moment, a huge black shadow rose rapidly from the bottom of the lake, broke through the ice, and swallowed Long Wanyan whole.

The aura of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator instantly filled the entire deep pool.

Chapter 54, Wild Ball Boxing

!!!

Almost the instant the shadowy figure swallowed Long Wanyan, Xiao Yu's natal flying sword whistled through the air, its snow-white tip piercing through the shadowy figure. A layer of ice spread from the shadowy figure, temporarily trapping it on the ice.

Xiao Yu also saw the face of the dark figure clearly. It was that half-dragon. He didn't know what kind of adventure it had, but its bloodline had actually transformed into a dragon, and a dragon at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, his gaze passed through the flying sword and fell upon the frozen dragon, his enormous eyes revealing a lifeless aura of death.

No soul?

Almost the instant the idea popped into his head.

Peng!

The Nascent Soul stage dragon that had been frozen in ice suddenly exploded, sending large chunks of flesh flying in all directions.

A slender, light-colored figure was revealed inside.

Because she was swallowed by the dragon, Long Wanyan's well-fitting clothes were torn to shreds by its sharp teeth, revealing large patches of her fair skin. Her body was covered with wounds of varying sizes and depths.

Bright red blood splattered on her body, dripping thickly, the threads clinging together as if weaving a magnificent red dress over her.

Xiao Yu came to his senses and slowly approached with his flying sword, Yue Li.

At this moment, Long Wanyan's condition was a bit off. She was floating in mid-air, her jade-like arms stretched out to cover a pair of white rabbits with tattered fabric that could barely be restrained.

Her other hand gripped the extremely brightly colored spear. Her eyes flashed, like autumn water with a hint of blood red. Her body trembled slightly, her aura rising steadily. Two small bumps appeared on her fair forehead, and scales rose on her fair forearms.

Long Wanyan gritted her teeth, suppressing the bloodlust in her eyes, and soon, the strange phenomena on her body dissipated.

It was as if Xiao Yu had just imagined everything.

Just as he was lost in thought, Long Wanyan looked up at the flying sword floating in the air, looking at her with concern.

The next moment, the blood-red spear shaft swung, striking Xiao Yu's natal flying sword and sending it flying far away.

The glass-like flying sword tumbled and disappeared into the moonlight.

Xiao Yu deliberately withdrew his natal flying sword. He simply bent over and looked down into the deep pool below.

After knocking away Xiao Yu's natal flying sword with her spear, Long Wanyan then stabbed the thick ice surface several times with the sharp spear tip.

Click!

The thick ice surface shattered and quickly melted into water under the scorching red gun barrel, revealing a circular natural "lake".

After doing all this, Long Wanyan looked around and quickly set up a magic array to block the view, so Xiao Yu could no longer see what she was doing.

However, it's also clear that they're washing their bodies, since they were almost completely immersed in the dragon's blood just now.

There weren't any lakes near the cave where Xiao Yu and she were, so it would be best to wash in the deep pool, which would save both time and effort.

Speaking of which, the water in this deep pool seems to be much clearer than before. Xiao Yu stared at the blurry figure of the magic array for a while before looking away.

It seemed he would have to wait a while, but Xiao Yu didn't mind. He was more curious about the Nascent Soul Realm dragon that had suddenly appeared.

It appeared, but was instantly killed from the inside by Long Wanyan. Its death was so hasty that anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was that half-dragon in the Core Formation stage from before.

Oh...right, they all seem to be the same dragon.

In any case, it seems that Xiao Yu has successfully completed the task given to him by the system this time.

Xiao Yu essentially won this mission without any effort, relying entirely on the beautiful sect leader, Long Wanyan, for all the damage output.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu summoned the system.

"Ding!"

"Detection indicates that the female protagonist, Long Wanyan, has obtained the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit. 1000 points have been credited to her account, and a bottle of True Dragon Blood has been sent to the system warehouse. Additional rewards are being detected..."

"The half-dragon in the Core Formation stage has been killed. The Heart-Protecting Mirror made from the dragon's reverse scale has been sent to the system warehouse. The dragon in the Golden Core stage has been killed, and an S-level fist manual has been obtained. The dragon in the Nascent Soul stage has been killed, and a random physique has been obtained. Note that the fist manual and physique must be drawn by the host himself. What you get depends entirely on luck. I hope the host will continue to work hard and strive to achieve a happy ending as the protagonist as soon as possible."

Xiao Yu...

He's gotten used to it and is too lazy to argue that he's not the main character anymore; it's pointless and just pads the word count.

Putting everything else aside for now, when Xiao Yu saw the system announce that the Nascent Soul Realm dragon had been killed, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there wouldn't be any more trouble later.

Xiao Yu leaned back and slowly lay down on the ground, relaxing his body. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he suddenly felt that the moon looked even more alluring.

What the heck? Being a Fu Rui fan is one thing, but being a moon fan...

Shaking his head, Xiao Yu focused his attention on the system's instructions regarding extracting boxing manuals and physical constitution.

Seeing the words "draw" on the card, Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched involuntarily a few times. As someone who relied entirely on the pity system for drawing cards, he was always called out for skipping classes. When eating instant noodles, there was either no seasoning packet or no fork. There was even a time when he didn't get any noodles at all. He was an unlucky guy who was always out of luck.

Xiao Yu has never really believed in his luck. He tried to stab a few European seals to change his luck, but it was no use. The seals that were going to go astray still went astray, and the ones that didn't have stabs still didn't have stabs.

But today, he is willing to entrust his fate to this unreliable luck that often betrays him and slaps him in the face.

Xiao Yu thought he should draw the boxing manual first, and leave the random physique for later. His habit was always to save the good things for last, and when eating, he would pick out the things he didn't like to eat first, and save the good things for later.

It's an S-rank item, so you can't expect to find anything bad even if you randomly draw a few.

Xiao Yu had seen quite a few of the S-level boxing manuals that the system referred to when he was browsing the system's store. They included things like the Heaven and Earth Frostless Fist, the Shattered Feather Thunder Fist, the Stubborn Fist, and the Overbearing Fist... They all looked pretty impressive.

As Xiao Yu's thoughts settled, the system screen in front of him flickered rapidly, changing before finally settling on a boxing manual.

Xiao Yu wanted to slap his thigh. He had just watched a boxing manual called the Sun Blazing Heaven Fist slide past him.

Ultimately, Xiao Yu obtained the following boxing manual:

"Strip Baseball"

Quality: S+

The power of each punch stacks up, and the damage increases steadily with each punch, with no upper limit. Each punch has a 40% chance to ignore the enemy's defense and deal damage.

When the accumulated value reaches a certain level, it will explode inside the enemy, dealing at least 800% armor-piercing damage. The more punches you throw, the higher the final accumulated explosion damage will be. You also have a 3% chance to suffer a 0.1% damage reflection from the accumulated explosion.

Note: With this punch, there is a 20% chance that each punch will destroy one piece of clothing. Once all the clothing on your body has exploded, you will enter a ten-minute invulnerability state. In this state, the probability of each punch ignoring the enemy's defense increases to 100%, and you will also ignore the damage reflection from the explosion.

When intoxicated, all stats increase tenfold.

Note: Water and oolong tea...why...are flammable.

"........."

Silence fell upon Xiao Yu. This time, the luck he had placed his hopes on did not betray him. Instead, he unexpectedly revealed an S+ level boxing manual.

Good fortune is coming... my ass!

Depend on!

What kind of boxing manual is this? Could it be that Brother Fan and his gang invented it?

The effect looks great, but what's with the clothing-tearing negative buff?!

Is he obsessed with clothes being torn off?

Xiao Yu was on the verge of tears. He never wanted to experience being surrounded and stared at naked by a group of people again.

In short, he decided to put this boxing manual in the warehouse to gather dust for now.

Anyway, his main focus right now is sword cultivation, and martial arts is just a secondary skill. We'll talk about martial arts when we need to use it.

Deeply affected, Xiao Yu had no interest in creating another, better random physique.

He planned to wait until he got back, washed his face, took a bath, changed his clothes, and then choose an auspicious day to discuss it.

Just then, Long Wanyan below finished washing up and flew up.

This time, she changed into a light blue and gray-white dress. The fitted waist of the dress perfectly showcased her voluptuous figure. Her wet hair was draped behind her, and she shone brightly. Her snow-white skin exuded a jade-like quality, as if she had descended from heaven and was an ethereal being untouched by worldly affairs.

"Let's go!"

Arriving in front of Xiao Yu, Long Wan remained calm and effortlessly scooped him up in a princess carry, flying back towards the cave they had come from.

Under the pale moonlight, whether it was Xiao Yu's imagination or not, he felt that Long Wanyan's body temperature seemed to have risen considerably.
