I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

Chapter 49 Dragon Qi Tempering!

"Dragon Qi tempering the body?" Guan Mi asked in surprise.

Bai Lin nodded: "The flames you see are made of dragon energy."

Dragon energy can be transformed into flames, which can temper the human body and enhance physical fitness.

The extent of this enhancement depends on the individual's talent and willpower.

Bai Lin had experienced it firsthand, and that kind of living hell left a deep impression on him.

However, this kind of thing is most effective the first time, and then it becomes less effective.

Seeing Guan Mi's eager expression, Bai Lin asked with a smile, "Want to give it a try?"

Guan Mi was somewhat tempted.

However, the thought of Lei Yao and Zhang Yu's screams and their dark, inhuman appearance caused her courage to recede like the tide.

"No, I don't want it anymore." She shook her head vigorously.

Bai Lin smiled and said, "Once you fully control the power of the Dragon Guard, you'll be able to run rampant in this world without having to suffer this torment."

"Mr. Bai just asked me," Guan Mi said coquettishly, "you must have just wanted to see me make a fool of myself!"

Bai Lin laughed heartily.

Looking at the dragon's open mouth, Guan Mi glanced at the big watermelon on the table, wanting to take the opportunity to stuff it into the dragon's mouth, but worried that he would lose more than he gained, just like a few days ago.

Seeing that Bai Lin had logged into the game she hadn't played for several days, she excitedly went over, leaned half her body against the dragon, and introduced it to Bai Lin.

She didn't really like playing games before, but since she started playing to pass the time with Bai Lin, she's found that these games can be quite fun.

While the two were discussing the game's storyline, Zhang Yu had already washed off the black scabs on his body, changed his clothes, and gone out.

He had already tested the power.

The dent in the steel door panel is proof of this.

He felt that he could defeat Thanos with his bare hands!

Even Captain America would have to kneel down and sing "Conquer" when he sees him!

His skin has also improved a lot.

The dark acne scars on his face had disappeared, and his fair skin made him feel that even if he dressed as a woman, no one in Nanliang would be able to tell the difference.

Although the hair hasn't grown back yet, the bald head isn't much different from his previous half-bald look.

It's also convenient for him to wear a hat.

When he arrived at the laboratory at the foot of the mountain, even the researchers were stunned.

"Ms. Zhang, where did you get your beauty treatment?" A female researcher asked, her face full of disbelief.

Zhang Yu spends most of his time serving Bai Long on the mountain, but he also frequently comes down from the mountain.

Everyone was quite familiar with his appearance.

He had an average appearance, average build, and dark skin, and was not much different from an ordinary middle-aged man in his thirties.

Because he doesn't have a girlfriend, he's even more slovenly on a daily basis.

After developing a love for gardening, he often dressed up like an old farmer, wearing a straw hat and looking dusty as he came to the meeting.

However, his image today is quite different.

His face, so tender it looked like it could be squeezed out of water, was a hundred times more effective than if he had undergone laser skin rejuvenation, and his body contours seemed to have become more angular.

It's just that the lack of eyebrows makes it look a bit comical.

The female researcher's eyes shone.

She really wanted to lift Zhang Yu's clothes to see if the head of their research lab had eight-pack abs.

"Beauty treatment?" Zhang Yu touched his face and laughed. "I'm naturally beautiful, why would I need beauty treatments!"

"I never noticed before, but Mr. Zhang is quite handsome," a researcher said with a smile.

"What do you mean 'handsome with delicate features'? I'm handsome!" Zhang Yu corrected.

He looked around and said, "Those who don't have anything urgent to do, come to the meeting and talk about the research progress of the past few days."

“Oh, right,” he said to his assistant beside him, “call the people next door over too, let them listen in as well.”

The researchers were still puzzled by Zhang Yu's request, but they had gotten used to it.

Similar incidents have occurred several times before.

Based on the amazing research materials and the high level of secrecy surrounding Yatou Mountain, they privately speculated that they had likely unearthed a very special ancient tomb and found substances with incredible abilities inside.

They speculated that the reason they brought in experts in history and archaeology was to analyze the origins of these special substances through historical events in order to determine their composition.

The researchers felt embarrassed about this.

After all, they had been studying it for so long and had discovered several extraordinary properties in the liquid provided by Zhang Yu, but they had not yet made any progress in its composition.

Using various sophisticated instruments, they determined that the liquid appeared to be water.

But how could that kind of thing be water?

"We adjusted the dosage this time and used it on mice. Within ten seconds, its size increased by 30% and its strength also increased. It smashed the high-strength fiberglass cage and cracked it, but it died suddenly after half a minute."

The researcher demonstrated to the crowd: "This is surveillance video."

When they saw the white mouse in the video suddenly grow to a huge size and frantically ram into its cage, making loud banging noises, several people exclaimed in surprise.

The lab rat has become an explosive monster!

What are your thoughts?

After several researchers briefly recounted their findings from the past few days, Zhang Yu turned his attention to the researchers specializing in history and archaeology who had been brought in.

All of them are PhDs from prestigious universities and are very knowledgeable.

They were all somewhat bewildered about their current jobs and had many speculations about them in private.

Through the previous meetings, they gradually guessed some of the answers.

Caught off guard by Zhang Yu's sudden question, the group quickly began to think.

They racked their brains, trying to recall if there were similar rumors in history.

“I remember there was a description like this in the ‘Records of Strange Things’,” one man said, adjusting his glasses. “In the southern border there are rats with bodies as hard as iron and stone. They like to eat human hearts, but when they repay a debt of gratitude, they can speak human language.”

"Although the description is a bit exaggerated, it has some similarities to the current situation."

Zhang Yu nodded and looked at the second person.

The man racked his brains and recited some more historical anecdotes.

Each one sounds rather absurd.

Some are simply copied from supernatural novels such as "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio".

Listening to what the group said, the researchers secretly grumbled to themselves, thinking to themselves that these people in the humanities were really good at talking nonsense.

Zhang Yu listened attentively, occasionally taking notes in his notebook.

When the short meeting ended, he kept the historical and archaeological experts behind and instructed them to focus on studying these kinds of rumors.

After assigning tasks, he went to the laboratory, had everyone send him their experimental records, and then headed up the mountain.

He opened a game on his phone halfway there.

When Dr. Zhang saw his friends in the game sending him several emojis like "Hug the boss" and "Miss you, baby," the corners of his mouth turned up.

He was so frustrated he was about to quit the game, but this unexpected newbie rekindled his interest in it.

He fell in love online!

“Coming, coming!” he typed.

“My baby is taking me to play the weekly dungeon? (°?‵?′??)”

"Look at me!"

……

Dr. Zhang was chatting happily with his online boyfriend.

He didn't put his phone away until he reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Chapter 50 Captain Lei's Request

Looking at the dense forest in the distance, Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and decided to go and find another pine tree with a beautiful shape.

There's a black pine tree outside the Dragon Palace that doesn't look very good, so he plans to replace it.

Although the experience of being in a sea of ​​fire is unpleasant, the transformation it brings is visible to the naked eye.

He could only repay Mr. Bai's kindness by doing something like this.

Moreover, he urgently needs to make up for the earlier distrust and win Bailong's favor.

……

Lei Yao also wanted to make amends to his soldiers.

He had previously ordered them to practice boxing while enduring hunger and even scolded them for their lack of willpower. Even though he had corrected his behavior after Bai Lin intervened, he still felt guilty.

Therefore, he has shortened his training time in the past few days and often gives instructions to the soldiers.

After he found everyone's boxing skills to be perfect, he even asked Guan Mi to help him check them out.

He originally thought that was enough, but after emerging from the sea of ​​fire, he had a new idea.

The inferno was unbearable, but the transformation it brought him was obvious.

He tested it and found that his strength had nearly doubled!

His physical abilities have now far exceeded the limits of ordinary people; in modern society, he could be called a superman!

When he told Liu Chongyu, the latter was incredulous.

Judging from Director Liu's intrigued expression, he was clearly also intrigued.

Director Liu, who is ambitious for an official career and worried about being associated with the White Dragon, is now visiting the Dragon Palace more frequently than before.

So, could we let these soldiers also experience the baptism of fire?

Lei Yao was very interested, but didn't know how to bring it up.

……

now.

More than half a month has passed since Lei Yao and Zhang Yu emerged from the sea of ​​fire.

early morning.

After completing his daily patrol, Lei Yao, as always, brought things to visit Bai Lin.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Liu Chongyu empty-handed.

The two greeted each other, passed each other, and then turned back to look at each other.

After looking at each other again, they both felt a little awkward.

Lei Yao had noticed that Liu Chongyu had been visiting Bai Lin frequently recently and could guess what the other party was thinking.

This made him secretly amused.

……

Inside the Dragon Palace.

Seeing Bai Lin hanging from the rafters with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep, and Guan Mi cutting paper with scissors, Lei Yao quietly slowed his pace.

He put down what he was holding and, seeing that the surroundings were spotless and there was nothing he could do, felt a pang of disappointment.

This time he came with a mission.

Director Zhao made the decision for him on the matter that he had always been too embarrassed to bring up.
