LOL: Let me touch your steel

As more and more dune hounds fell beside Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu gained more energy.

Until just now, Zhang Xu could clearly feel that the pure energy in his body seemed to have reached a certain level.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

A brilliant beam of light like the sun bloomed on Zhang Xu's body. The sun's brilliant light possessed endless energy, and the sudden dazzling light at this moment also brought a huge amount of energy to Zhang Xu!

This energy was madly pouring into Zhang Xu's body. Under the dazzling light, Zhang Xu's figure even began to become gradually blurred until it was completely enveloped by the light.

The sudden change caught Nayafili off guard, and his eyes gradually became dull.

This familiar light is an energy worth remembering for a lifetime!

You can’t go wrong!

This is the divine power obtained during the ascension ceremony!

Nayafili was completely confused. She couldn't understand why a guy with the essential energy of the void could have the power of ascension.

Nayafili was sure that he had never seen an ascender like Zhang Xu, and the sun disc had been damaged long ago.

Where did Zhang Xu get the power of ascension?

This kind of power is definitely the power of ascension. As a god warrior who was once worshipped by thousands of people, Nayafil will never forget the day when he performed the ascension ceremony.

It's exactly the same as the scene in front of me.

The sun disc rained down the energy of the sun, gradually reshaping her flesh and blood into the body of an ascender. She mastered powerful strength, gained a long life, and became a god warrior of high status.

Without the sun disc and the sun priests who grant you the qualification for ascension, how can you obtain the power of ascension!

You are blaspheming the glory of ascension!

Nayafili's expression gradually became crazy. She roared unwillingly and witnessed all this happening.

She was unable to make any interference and could only watch Zhang Xu accept the power of ascension that was stolen from somewhere unknown.

...

Zhang Xu feels very wonderful now.

This extremely pure power seemed to be constantly reshaping his body. But this reshaping did not make Zhang Xu feel any pain. He felt as if he was bathed in the warm sunshine, and his whole body was warm.

This power...

It is the power of ascension!

It is related to the energy of the sun and can reshape the body. Apart from the power of ascension, Zhang Xu can't imagine a second answer.

Although Nayafili has now been infected by the void and has fallen into the Darkin, as a former god warrior, Nayafili has naturally undergone the ascension ceremony... In other words, the ability he gained from stacking steel on Nayafili's body...

It is the power of ascension!

The energy comes from the sun...or more precisely, the power comes from the Dragon King.

The Protoss of Mount Targon designed a cursed crown to place upon the Dragon King's head, stealing his knowledge and understanding of the sun and its creation, and built a massive disk of golden light. In this way, they drained his celestial power and fashioned immortal god-warriors.

Therefore, rather than saying that he stole the power of ascension from Nayafil, it would be more accurate to say that he indirectly stole the celestial power of the Dragon King.

A very serious problem was placed before Zhang Xu.

By using this method, I have mastered a small part of the Dragon King's power. Wouldn't that mean I will be directly targeted by the Dragon King?

Although the cursed crown threw the Dragon King back to the heaven and prevented Him from approaching this world, as time passed and the binding magic faded, the Dragon King was gradually breaking free from his restraints.

One day, he will return to Runeterra with a fiery, everlasting wrath, and those thieves who dared to steal power from the Star-Forged Aspect will be punished.

Now he...should be considered a thief in the eyes of the Dragon King.

Zhang Xu shook his head and put these thoughts out of his mind.

It is too early to think about these things now. Even if the Dragon King really wants to return to Runeland for revenge in the future, he will definitely not be the first target of revenge.

If the sky falls, the Protoss on Mount Targon will hold it up...it won't be his turn.

Zhang Xu carefully felt the extra energy in his body, pure and powerful.

However, this level of energy should not be enough to support himself to completely become an ascender.

There is simply not enough energy.

Probably...half an ascender?

The body remodeling was interrupted, and Zhang Xu's body did not undergo any changes. It seemed that it was because the energy of the sun was not complete, or because of the void energy that already existed in his body.

Zhang Xu frowned and carefully checked his condition.

At this moment, his body seemed to have turned into a Tai Chi Bagua fish, and the two energies were completely and clearly divided into two halves. One half held the true meaning of the void, the energy of nothingness, while the other half held the power of ascension that was enough to create an ascender.

Half angel, half devil?

Of course, these two energies were not completely calm. The energy of nothingness seemed to have been trying to invade the power of ascension, attempting to completely devour this energy.

But the eternal flame in Zhang Xu's heart has also been restraining the energy of nothingness.

The three once again formed a very strange balance.

As we all know, triangles are stable, so Zhang Xu did not feel any discomfort.

Under the cover of light, Zhang Xu clenched his fists, feeling this new power. Now he... is definitely much stronger than before!

The light gradually dissipated, and Zhang Xu's figure was gradually exposed to everyone's sight.

From the outside, Zhang Xu didn't seem to have changed at all. But if you look closely, you can still see a brilliant golden light hidden deep in Zhang Xu's eyes.

Nayafili frowned and observed Zhang Xu carefully, and did not act rashly again.

Chapter 71 Armored Dragon Turtle

Although everything that just happened was very brief, Nayafili was certain that Zhang Xu must have been baptized by the power of ascension.

However, after being baptized by the power of ascension, why was Zhang Xu's body not reshaped into that of an ascender?

Something went wrong?

Or is it because of that kind of empty energy?

Nayafili felt inexplicably irritated, both because of the void energy in Zhang Xu's body and because of the 'ascension ceremony' that had just happened to Zhang Xu.

It was hard to imagine that these two powers could appear in the same person. And this person could actually stand in front of him!

What made Nayafili even more upset was that she found that she seemed to be being targeted.

It’s not Zhang Xu, but... a more ancient existence.

Nayafili subconsciously led the pack of dogs back two steps, and the next moment, the ground began to shake violently.

In the distant desert, a terrifying cloud of sand seemed to be blowing up, and a thunder-like sound came from an even more distant place, as if some huge creature was running across the desert.

The shaking of the earth became more and more severe, like thousands of horses galloping, and an invisible force was constantly stirring in the air.

Zhang Xu and Nayafili both looked into the distance with some suspicion.

With the blessing of the power of ascension, all aspects of Zhang Xu were improved again, including his senses.

But Zhang Xu didn't see anything at the end of his sight.

In other words, the person or object that made the sound is still at a very far distance!

Seeing that Nayafili seemed to be completely attracted by the unknown existence, Zhang Xu did not hesitate at all and flashed back to Kassadin and Taliyah.

Seeing this, Kasa hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the corner of Zhang Xu's clothes.

"what happens?"

"I can't sense it. I can't see what caused the noise."

Zhang Xu frowned and looked into the distance.

This kind of noise...could it be that the Tsar has been resurrected?

No, it's impossible.

The direction from which the noise came was completely different from the direction marked by Ezreal on the map. Moreover, the noise caused by the Tsar's resurrection was far more than just this.

"Taliyah, can you feel something approaching?"

"It seems... to be a very large beast."

Taliyah felt it carefully, trying to get an answer from the earth. But the message the earth sent to her was also very vague. She only knew that it was the sound made by a giant beast.

Zhang Xu nodded, his eyes passed over Taliyah and fell on Kassadin.

Kai'Sa seems a little...absent-minded?

You know, Kaisa has always been tough and alert. Even when she is resting, she will remain extremely focused. It is very rare for her to be in a daze like now.

Noticing Kassa's hand pinching the corner of his clothes, Zhang Xu took it and held the hand wrapped in the void skin armor and asked softly:

"what happened?"

"I am fine."

Kasa shook her head, indicating that she was fine, but she did not struggle to free her hand, and still let Zhang Xu hold her hand.

The vibration became stronger and stronger, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking constantly. Even Zhang Xu and the other two were affected by the shaking.

And the figure of the giant beast finally appeared in Zhang Xu's sight.

It was a huge spherical beast, covered with a thick and solid shell, like a turtle shell, but there were some sharp thorns on its shell, from these thorns, this beast looked more like a hedgehog. And there seemed to be various patterns on its shell, showing its mystery.

This behemoth...its speed is simply amazing!

In just a blink of an eye, the giant beast rolled thousands of meters towards them!

This speed...is much faster than Nayafili's!

It looks like a turtle, with thorns on its shell, and it moves by rolling...

Could this giant beast be a dragon turtle?

While Zhang Xu was still guessing the identity of the giant beast, Nayafili had already gathered the dogs, and they were howling one after another, as if Nayafili had already determined the identity of the giant beast.

By the time Kassadin and Taliyah could also see the giant beast in their sight, the giant beast, which was suspected to be a dragon turtle, finally slowed down its speed.

The rolling speed gradually slowed down until it stopped completely.
