Refining the True from the False: Becoming a God Starting with Devouring a True Dragon

Chapter 101 [Crocodile Martial Arts Alchemy] [Martial Armor] A Spirit Higher Than a Hundred-Foot Tower! Team Transformation!

"Is this a forbidden technique?"

Chu Yutang looked at the charred internal organs and even bent down to touch them.

A layer of air still lingered over the cooked meat. He reached in and for a moment heard the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger.

It felt very faint and didn't affect him in the slightest.

But Chu Yutang frowned.

This is the aftermath and does not represent its true power.

Even residual power can bring about such an anomaly.

What would happen when this arrow pierces the body of a fourth-tier demon?

This is internal energy enhanced with imposing power.

But it gave me two strange sensations—

The aura cultivated by a Qi Master will indeed change over time and with the evolution of the cultivation methods.

However, Chu Yutang had never heard of a person being able to possess two different auras at the same time.

"Full of internal energy, unpredictable and ever-changing."

He murmured softly.

One can only admire Wang Qi's achievements on the path of Qi Martial Arts.

Wang Qi stepped forward and, looking at the miserable state inside the fourth-tier crocodile-backed scaled wolf demon, immediately noticed the abnormality.

Compared to the previous Fire Python Arrows, the current moves have changed from using a single dragon aura to using dragon and tiger aura.

Dragon and tiger clash, annihilating each other.

The result was that they did not cancel each other out.

Instead, it amplified the power, even turning the fiercely clashing dragon and tiger energies into a "slow poison," continuously wreaking havoc within the crocodile-backed, scaled wolf demon's body.

These demon cores are truly treasures.

Each of the transformed pills brings immense joy.

"According to the rules we agreed on before, you can choose the first 30%?"

Chu Yutang spoke.

The others had no objections.

None of them were ordinary warriors, so they could naturally see the trick to Wang Qi's arrow.

"Demon Core".

Wang Qi didn't stand on ceremony.

They sliced ​​open the flesh and pulled out the cyan demon core, which was about the size of a fist.

"Distribute the rest among yourselves."

The first clash between humans and demons upon entering the third level immediately resulted in losses for Wang Qi's team, which had suffered zero casualties.

Of the more than one hundred men, eleven died and more than ten were injured.

The chaos was largely caused by the appearance of the Crocodile-Backed Scaled Wolf Demon.

But the results were also quite fruitful.

The group captured nearly a hundred high-quality monsters.

The casualty ratio reached an astonishing 10 to 1.

While collecting his arrows, Wang Qi started a fire to cook.

Peng Yunfan was the one who helped start the fire.

He bit off a small piece of the Fire-Hiding Bull Demon's dried meat.

Then gently blow on the flesh of a creature called the Hot-Bone Serpent Demon.

A tiny flame immediately appeared.

In a flash,

The snake meat and blood were then ignited, just like alcohol.

Peng Yunfan chuckled and said, "Although this snake demon is only at the first level and doesn't have many attack methods, it's incredibly fast."

"It's even approaching the level of a second-tier demon."

"If they could be paired with some fire-breathing demons, forming a suicidal snake demon, it would definitely cause them a lot of trouble. But these underground demons don't seem to have this awareness."

"The fact that they're not that smart is indeed good news for us," Wang Qi thought calmly. "But we can't keep thinking like that."

"Demons can also evolve."

"We need to consider how to deal with this situation should we encounter it in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes." Peng Yunfan nodded repeatedly.

He said this while extending his hands to warm them by the fire.

"Many of us are now starting to explore the wonderful uses of demon flesh and bones, and the results are quite impressive."

"For example, the wolf fur robe we wore last time, and the demon skin garment, and the bones of the hot-boned snake can even be pulled out to be used as torches."

"The blood of the purple-skinned poisonous rat is like water, and even has a sweet taste—its blood only turns into venom when it passes through its fangs."

"Those fangs can also be used as concealed weapons, or as tools for making simple poisons."

"How do we do it?" Wang Qi asked.

"Just soak the venomous fangs in water," Peng Yunfan said. "This poison can numb the flesh of living beings, causing temporary loss of sensation. Its effect might not be very noticeable in a battle of this scale."

"But it's incredibly useful in an encirclement or siege—"

Wang Qi nodded, and he also observed his surroundings.

The surrounding warriors, besides cutting and roasting meat, were mostly collecting demon skins, cutting off hair, dismantling bones and healing teeth, and extracting demon tendons, turning them into their own fighting force on the spot.

This was something he rarely saw when he was in the county town.

Why are they so rare in the city?

Wang Qi asked again.

This time, Bai Nuo ran over from the side. "These theoretical guesses and deductions have been discussed by countless people in the county town, in academies, private schools, and restaurants."

"But to put it into practice, you need to have something in your hands."

Bai Nuo calmly said, "Master Wang should know how difficult it is to kill a demon of the same level—you probably don't."

"You kill demons as easily as eating and drinking."

"I know a little bit about it too." Wang Qi smiled. The tiger demon that had condensed half a demon core outside Mopan Town left a very deep impression on him.

The forbidden technique, enhanced by the dragon's power, was aimed at a vital spot like the neck, but the blade broke.

They almost didn't kill him.

As for what happened later...

My skills have indeed improved too quickly.

Dragon's Fury, Fire Arrows, and of course, the most ferocious Giant Elephant Demon Spear.

They are all powerful weapons for attack.

Bai Nuo continued, "We're too busy killing demons of the same level to even think about eating or selling them for money, let alone have the luxury of figuring out these unorthodox methods."

Wang Qi nodded, knowing that the human race had done too little research on the demon race.

After all, the key to his physical exorcism lay in those few materials, something that Dushui County had never discovered in all these years.

This shows how difficult it is to kill demons and the predicament of the human race. "I've heard that places like the Grand Sect and the Northern Court Prefecture have people who specialize in these things, such as refining demon cores, demon bone armor, demon filth, and the unique uses of meat."

"The daily investment is in the four figures!"

"The four figures I'm talking about aren't in copper coins, they're in real gold and silver."

When Bai Nuo said this, there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Because the price is too high.

After all, the daily cost was at least equivalent to a mansion in a prefecture.

"Now that we're in the Demon Locking Cave and can't take anything with us, we'll just have to indulge ourselves."

Beno and the others looked toward the crowd.

Many people may seem clumsy in their techniques, but their thinking is very clear; they have already prepared their plans in advance.

"It seems that organizing people to enter the Demon Locking Cave was the right decision."

Wang Qi murmured, feeling even more confident about continuing to delve deeper into the third level.

Peng Yunfan added, "It's all thanks to Master Wang. It's not that no one has tried to organize something before—but either everyone had their own agenda, or they were too weak, or the leaders couldn't command respect—in short, there were all sorts of problems."

"I was really surprised that it went so smoothly this time."

"In that case, everyone should hurry up and replenish their energy to rest and recuperate. Then we'll strike while the iron is hot and continue."

Everyone lit their own fires and began to eat meat.

Because the third floor was too cold, everyone was extremely exhausted.

So I ate more than usual.

break!

Wang Qi held the demon core in his hand and immediately activated his power.

[Crocodile Martial Arts Alchemy: After consumption, one will gain a racial ability similar to that of a fifth-tier great demon, the 'Martial Crocodile Wolf Demon'.]

Deep purple patterns emerged, with a faint hint of gold.

Martial Crocodile Wolf Demon?

Wang Qi had never even heard of it.

But as soon as the words "fifth rank" appeared, Wang Qi knew he was in the game.

not to mention,

It has a golden glow!

If the withdrawal is good, then it must be decent.

I just don't know what abilities I'll get.

Wang Qi took a big bite.

This demon core tastes different from the previous ones; it's somewhat similar to a chicken gizzard, crispy and with a rubbery texture.

It is very elastic.

quickly,

The words reappeared before Wang Qi's eyes.

[Armor: Your mortal skin will undergo a tempering process. Upon activation, your skin will instantly transform into 'Armor.' Afterward, your attack and defense will be significantly boosted.]

(Note: This power consumes a significant amount of stamina, please use with caution. It can be upgraded to 'Partial Armor Transformation', which will reduce stamina consumption and increase both offense and defense!)

A rise to power through stone-like transformation?

Wang Qi instantly found a comparison.

Moreover, unlike being petrified and unable to move, the armored warriors clearly do not have this limitation.

In a flash,

Stone-like material was destined to be swept into the trash heap by Wang Qi, becoming a useless commodity.

"That's not quite right either. Petrification is the petrification of vital energy and blood, while armor is just a physical shell—it can still be used as a means of enhancing defense when necessary."

The stone-like transformation of Qi and blood is similar to the realm of blood transport.

Martial armor, on the other hand, is a technique used at the Skin Refining Realm.

It's a step up.

However, upon closer examination...

I now have an absurdly large number of ways to increase my defense.

Stone-like, armored, and heavyweight, multi-layered air armor.

Unbeknownst to him, he had mastered the Turtle Shell Divine Skill.

In thought,

Wang Qi felt an itch all over his body.

Is the tempering process described in the martial armor about to begin?

He looked down at the back of his hand and saw that a layer of white skin had suddenly appeared, like keratin.

They started to curl, turning into long, thin "gray worms" that came out when you scrubbed them in the bath.

The itching sensation made Wang Qi unable to resist scratching it.

Then, like dandruff, white spots started falling off my body.

Peng Yunfan and Lu Siqi, who were nearby, saw this and quickly distanced themselves in disgust.

Then the latter was forcibly pulled back by Peng Yunfan.

"How can you look down on your elder brother?"

Peng Yunfan lowered his voice and reprimanded him.

"Sorry, senior brother, I just did it instinctively. This really does look a bit disgusting." "Wait, weren't you the one who dragged me away?"

Lu Siqi immediately kicked out, aiming the food at her senior brother. Unsurprisingly, he chuckled and grabbed her foot.

They are not worried.

Because they knew this was a strange change that occurred after consuming the demon core.

This is quite normal among martial artists.

Consuming demon cores is like opening a blind box; you never know what good stuff you might get.

Therefore,

Only demon cores are sought after and fought over by countless martial artists.

Wang Qi paid no attention to the noise around him.

He scratched his skin until it turned red, and it felt as if his body was covered in patches of skin that he could peel off.

I don't know how long it took before the itching subsided.

And in the crowd,

People were cheering.

"I've broken through!"

"I've been waiting for these twenty pounds of meat for who knows how long."

A martial artist excitedly swung his fist, his surging blood making his eyes shine brightly, as if two precious pearls were embedded in them.

That was a sign of breaking through to the Blood Transformation Realm.

"One act of bloodletting will brighten the eyes. The fresh blood cleanses and refines the eyes, opening them and breaking through barriers, allowing them to catch flies and insects within a hundred meters."

Wang Qi silently recited this in his heart.

He was thinking about the second level of his Dragon Elephant Secret Martial Arts.

The All-Seeing Eye.

"Using the Dragon Elephant Great Demonic Force to directly refine the pupils, demonic energy enters the eyes, and the yin and yang cycle nine times to achieve completion. Each cycle increases pupil power. After activation, yin and yang can be seen, and pupil power greatly increases! Even demonic energy, invisible to mortals, will shoot out a hundred-meter-long beam of light, damaging the mind and disrupting the spirit."

Wang Qi has already finished consuming and refining the third-tier black cat demon eyes, the third-tier tiger eyes, and over a thousand catties of tiger demon meat that he needed.

All that's missing is a couple hundred pounds of cat demon meat.

After you finish eating, you can reach this realm.

However, Wang Qi was thinking that he had now consumed a fifth-tier demon core and had undergone a physical transformation.

Would you consider this the stage of skin refining in cultivation?

If we think about it this way, is the classification of martial arts realms not so standardized?

Or,

Has it been abandoned by the times?

It needs to be re-examined.

He thought back to it.

Since I am not from this era, I do not feel bound by these things that are "since ancient times."

not to mention,

These locals have already forged a new path.

The old Wulu is not weak, but it may need to be reformed.

There were many cheers from the crowd.

Someone was short of several dozen kilograms of third-tier demon flesh to break through to the next realm, and after exchanging them on the spot, they got what they wanted.

Some people have confirmed their ideas and even figured out a similar ability to breathe fire by holding the liver of a fire-breathing bull demon in their mouth.

However, the flames were clearly much more intense.

Looking at these, Wang Qi couldn't help but smile, and the smile grew even wider.

He was filled with immense excitement as he witnessed the rapid evolution of the group.

The husband wields the Wu hook sword with one hand, his spirit soaring higher than a hundred-foot tower.

Who has written history for ten thousand years? Three thousand miles away, someone desires to be ennobled.

Only in the midst of war can one grow stronger!

Only then can we achieve a great victory!

"Let's keep going!"

Wang Qi shouted.

Then came a roar of cheers from the crowd.

The group continued walking, leaving the battlefield reeking of blood, and heading to the next location.

"Hey, hey, give me the back armor of that fourth-tier crocodile-backed wolf demon!"

Peng Yunfan shouted and snatched the intact skin.

"On what grounds?"

Fu Xingwen stared wide-eyed at the latter.

"I'll stand at the very front!"

"Withstand the attacks of both third- and fourth-tier powerful demons!"

"The rest is up to you!"

Peng Yunfan made this statement once.

Everyone was speechless.

"What a masochist."

As expected, Peng Yunfan took the back armor of the fourth-tier crocodile-backed wolf demon and used it as armor.

The others simply didn't have the talent to sit in the front row as meat shields.

However, with Peng Yunfan's shout and the lead he took, it was possible.

Several other martial artists who practiced the "Turtle Shell Technique" also stepped forward, volunteering to act as human shields, and then snatched the shell and fur of the third-tier demon.

"Those with long-range killing abilities should stay close to me and Master Wang as much as possible."

Seeing this, Chu Yutang also began to speak.

The originally chaotic group quietly began to separate into different groups.

They began to differentiate their respective responsibilities.
