I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1674 - 1678: So, Am I Handsome?

"Father... he..." Gu Qiufeng's face had already begun to twitch.

He suddenly recalled the last time he was dealt with by Gu Xiao. At the time, his clumsy dodging seemed like an accident, but now it looked like he was only holding back. Just the aura around him had a powerful oppressive force.

"If he had been a bit more serious last time, lying in bed for a few days might not have been the worst case," Gu Meng said. "This kid is hiding a beast inside him!"

"The last time I fought him, it was like walking into a death trap." Gu Qiufeng shuddered at the memory.

"Uncle Qing, what exactly is the power within Gu Xiao? I clearly didn't sense any Divine Breath energy from him, but my instincts tell me that if I faced him in battle, I might not even last a round?"

"He's not cultivating Divine Breath energy!" Qing Kong said. "That's purely energy from his physical body."

"This brat is really clever!" Zhan Xun added. "He knows that his body can no longer cultivate Divine Breath, so he chose a completely different path from others, forging his body into the strongest weapon."

"But this is not an easy path. Body Cultivation is extremely challenging. Our human bodies are not as strong as Warcrafts. To train the body to be powerful, one must endure unimaginable pain. For him to reach this point, he's surely suffered a lot."

"Judging by the aura of his strength, he's likely at a First-grade Spiritual Body level. Although it's not top-tier, compared to his former self, it's a breakthrough. Relying on his damaged physical meridians, he'd never reach First-grade Divine Breath realm in his life."

"Yes, but once he crosses this hurdle, he'll become a true powerhouse, combining knowledge of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Formations, becoming a fearsome monster in Body Cultivation."

"Although Body Cultivation is painful and slow to show results, right now, he could definitely beat a normal First-grade Divine Breath powerhouse into a pulp, possibly even holding his own against a Second-grade Divine Breath."

…

The electric fragment struck Zhang Menglong, and with a gentle slap, he shattered the lightning into tiny arcs.

"What a powerful body!" Everyone's pupils dilated at the sight. "His physical strength is stronger than we imagined!"

"The power of this current must be close to a Second-grade Divine Breath attack, and he blocked it so casually. Even a top-level First-grade Divine Breath Warcraft couldn't have such a strong body."

"Do you feel it too? His body isn't just simple body refinement," said a strong figure in the wedding party. "I have a friend in Body Cultivation. Although his body is terrifying, it still retains a purely human aura. However, this guy exudes the essence of a beast."

"Yes, I feel the same. We're around Warcrafts all the time, and he definitely has a beastly aura, and a very noble one at that."

"Could he be of mixed human-beast blood?" someone asked.

"Impossible," someone immediately refuted. "Everyone in the Yanlan Empire knows Gu Xiao's family background. His parents are human, and there's no Warcraft bloodline in his ancestry. He can't be a hybrid."

"It's truly puzzling!"

"The final strike, this time it might reach the power of the Third-grade Divine Cultivator realm. Can he handle it?"

…

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, but that did not signal the end of thunder, only the arrival of the most terrifying blow.

"Black clouds? This bolt is no joke. Even weakened, a Fourth-grade Divine Breath might not withstand it."

"Surely, others have to step in this time?"

"Wait, something's wrong!"

At that moment, an invisible force suddenly appeared in the sky, enveloping Zhang Menglong and that elixir.

"Damn, the World Force has mutated!" Qing Kong instantly realized something was off.

The World Force is generally impartial but under certain circumstances, like provocation, it can mutate, acting like a self-aware entity that launches destructive attacks at a specific person.

It seemed Zhang Menglong's disdainful attitude earlier triggered this mutation of the World Force!

"Can't get in!" Qing Kong punched fiercely at the invisible field, but was instead pushed back several steps by the force, his fist barely masking the pain.

"It's done, we can't aid him." Qing Kong's expression was solemn. In this scenario, the World Force absolutely prevents external interference, meaning Zhang Menglong must now rely entirely on himself.

"Will he be okay?" Lan Xin looked at Zhang Menglong with a worried expression.

Though there was some resentment in her heart, she never wished for Gu Xiao to suffer even a bit of harm.

"I don't know," Qing Kong was clearly not optimistic, "If he's only at a First-grade Spiritual Body level in Body Cultivation, even with unusual characteristics, surviving this Tribulation Thunder is difficult."

…

"Crack!"

The entire sky plunged into darkness for a moment as a black lightning bolt, over twenty meters in diameter, aimed at the elixir as if only one between Zhang Menglong and the elixir could remain intact.

Zhang Menglong effortlessly infused several Divine Breath Crystals, replenishing the Shield of Courage's energy fully, restoring its dimming light to its rich glow.

"Boom!"

A massive thunderbolt struck the shield, turning its shadow into fragments of light, yet the remaining minuscule force still carried a destructive aura. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Damn, this leftover energy is nearly at a Fourth-grade to Fifth-grade Divine Breath level. Among the young people in the Yanlan Empire, those who can withstand this are rare."

"Looks like it's time to go all out!"

Facing the advancing lightning, Zhang Menglong no longer held back, directly activating the Apocalypse Demon Dragon bloodline within him.

It was as if, in an instant, they arrived in a deathly world full of starving corpses. Red and black murderous aura started emanating from Zhang Menglong, and to everyone's astonishment, tiny black scales appeared on his skin, and with a loud thud, a thick tail dragged behind him.

In his Half-Dragon form, Zhang Menglong looked as if draped in a full-body dragon scale armor, appearing not monstrous, but incredibly imposing.

With Zhang Menglong revealing his Half-Dragon form, the bloodline power of the Apocalypse Dragon Beast instantly threw all flying Warcrafts in the sky into extreme panic.

The Dragon Clan is naturally the top predator among Warcrafts, and the Apocalypse Demon Dragon is royalty among dragons. Once mature, it reaches the peak of a Super Life Form, equating to the pinnacle of the Divine Cultivator realm!

Among these Warcrafts, the highest-level Warcrafts, upon maturing, reach only the First or Second-grade Divine Cultivator level. Such deep-seated bloodline pressure is unimaginable for them to endure.

The owners of these Warcrafts tried their best to keep them calm, barely achieving some composure, but they continued to look at Zhang Menglong with eyes filled with fear and reverence.

Zhang Menglong turned and winked at Lan Xin, "How do I look, handsome?"
