Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 328 - 223: Flood Dragon Transformation

"Haha, Li Hushou, no need to remind me. Don’t worry, once we take down Baojiao County, all the docks, herbs, wood, and the Firewood Iron Shop businesses in the city will be handed over to you to manage."

The preacher who had possessed Dugu Wuer sighed and said:

"After all, Peace Path is just getting started, and what we lack most are internal affairs talents like Li Hushou. As long as you assist us in governing Baojiao County well, using it as a foundation, we can conquer and expand our territory. The Fish and Dragon Association might just become the next ’Fu Long Sect.’

Fu Long Sect, back when the Grand Ancestor of the Daji Dynasty rose, was the first major sect to support him. It contributed greatly and is now one of the martial arts holy lands of the Daji Dynasty.

"I, Li, will go through fire and water, willing to die a thousand times without regret."

Li Yutang bowed.

"Hmm, once the main force gathers, we’ll wait for the signal to attack."

After the preacher finished speaking, a flying sword shot out from the sword box on his back, carrying him away.

Li Yutang watched the departing Dharma Protector God.

Unbeknownst to him, his back was already soaked in cold sweat, and he murmured to himself:

"This time, if we succeed, we’ll be kings, but if we fail, it will be eternal doom!"

Before, the Fish and Dragon Association was just another bandit group in the Jianghu, coercing businesses and engaging in tax evasion at most.

But now, to rise again...

They are compelled to... rebel.

Exhale!

Li Yutang exhaled a breath of dirt qi, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and looked towards the walls of Baojiao County, murmuring:

"There’s no turning back once the bow is drawn. Medicine King Hall, even though you destroyed Firewood Iron Shop, as long as the Fish and Dragon Association hasn’t disbanded, I, Li Yutang, will bet one last time with you to see who can take this county?"

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

According to the season, it had already entered the Grain Rain solar term, a time when rain nourishes the valleys. However, just like last year’s pitifully little spring snow.

Before and after Qingming, Grain Rain, there wasn’t much rain at all.

In the air above the Butcher Court, many flies began buzzing around, and Chen Ku listened to the apprentices’ discussions:

"This year is getting hotter earlier than usual, something’s off. Without rain, the seedlings and wheat ears back home are on the verge of drying up... Even the water level of the Dragon River is much shallower than in previous years, exposing a lot of dry riverbeds."

Returning to his own courtyard.

His sister-in-law was talking with his old mother, saying that the prices of grain and vegetables in the market had doubled recently, muttering:

"Luckily, we moved to the city. With Second Uncle’s business supporting the family, otherwise, if we were still in the countryside this year, we might starve."

His sister-in-law and old mother, being born and bred villagers, had an intuitive grasp of weather and harvest predictions.

Chen Ku had heard them speak of it many times.

This year seems to be a drought year, which means a disaster year, which in turn implies huge social upheaval.

"This Baojiao County... better to leave early."

Chen Ku thought to himself.

Suddenly.

In his mind, there was a ’crack’ sound, followed by the roar of crashing waves, and a dragon’s roar that shook his spirit resonated from the Transformation Diagram.

[This time the fetus transformation refining shape is a success!]

Chen Ku immediately lost interest in Baojiao County’s social issues and entered his room, sitting cross-legged, focusing on the Transformation Diagram.

Roar~~~

He saw, within the Transformation Diagram, atop his Heart Sea, a dark green creature with a body length of fifty to sixty meters, roaring and thrashing about.

Tail-Swinging Wave, Snot Blast, Visible Ghost]

[Strength: Power of Two Dragons]

[Innate Divine Ability: Earth Escape, Blowing Fur to Soldiers]

...

Gazing at the Hui Dragon that had Shape-Shifted into a Flood Dragon, its current form hardly differed from the dragons in my memories.

Dragon head, dragon tail, dragon claws, dragon whiskers, dragon scales...

Entirely dark green, the scale armor seemed like iron armor, piece by piece embedded onto its body, exuding a golden metallic hue.

The only difference from dragons in my memories was the singular, lustrous white horn atop its head, pure like fine jade, crystalline and seemingly a masterpiece of art.

Chen Ku’s heart stirred:

"Judging by the abilities emerging from Flood Dragon Transformation, it’s clear that many are related to water, fitting well with the name Flood Dragon. Let me venture into Dragon River to test its depth and strength."

With a thought, he cloaked his form, transforming into a palm-sized little flood dragon, and burrowed into the earth. Shortly, he arrived at Dragon River.

"Tail-Swinging Wave, Snot Blast, Visible Ghost, Power of Two Dragons, Blowing Fur to Soldiers—altogether evolved into five new abilities..."

Swish~~~

After using Earth Escape to enter the water, Chen Ku plunged directly into the largest and widest area of the Dragon River basin, fully releasing his fifty to sixty meters body.

In an instant, occupying one-third of the river’s width.

As his body swam beneath the water, Chen Ku instinctively felt a ’Divine Power’ at his dragon tail, seemingly able to control the river currents to create massive waves.

"Let me try it, Tail-Swinging Wave!"

Suddenly, his dragon tail, akin to a door panel, swung fiercely toward the water surface.

With this swing...

Accompanied by the inherent Power of Two Dragons from Flood Dragon Transformation, and Chen Ku’s Power of Two Dragons from Four Unlikes, a combined Four Dragon Power along with a body spanning dozens of meters, instantly thrashing Dragon River’s surface to raise a gigantic wave!

This wave soared to a height of a hundred meters, and as it mounted, Chen Ku could feel his tail releasing a certain power, gathering countless water vapors with the wave, further enhancing the water flow.

Boom!

With the tail’s divine power reverberating, the hundred-meter wave climbed even higher, forming a crest of a hundred fifty meters.

Then, it crashed fiercely toward the river surface.

Rumble!!!!

In that instant, as if hundreds of torpedoes exploded simultaneously on the water surface.

To Chen Ku, it felt like a force of thirty to forty thousand jun power crashing down.

His heart was shaken:

"My Four Dragon Power combined with the Furious Ape Mighty Staff, at most strikes with a force of one to two ten thousand jun power; this Flood Dragon’s Tail-Swinging Wave crashes down, its power directly exceeds twice that of my staff strikes!"

One jun is thirty pounds, Power of Ten Thousand Jun amounts to three hundred thousand pounds.

The Flood Dragon’s Tail-Swing alone can whip up a wave of over a hundred million pounds and press it straight down!

"Such strength and attack method feel like an actual ’strategic weapon’ underwater, even if faced with a Sixth Realm expert, enduring over a hundred million pounds of pressure from this wave, if met with a battalion of naval forces, a single tail swing might directly sink dozens of large ships!"

Chen Ku felt that this Flood Dragon Tail-Swing Wave was entirely akin to a kind of ’strategic weapon’.

Although reliant on a special environment like great rivers or oceans, it is undoubtedly a formidable unprecedented killing device!

Swish~~~

The wave caused by Chen Ku’s tail directly altered the water flow direction and speed of the entire Dragon River, causing even distant villagers to hear the commotion and witness the tumultuous white waves, fearfully shouting:

"Water monster is wreaking havoc! Water monster is wreaking havoc!"

The hundred meter high waves instilled sheer terror in these humble villagers, especially encountering recent severe drought, deepening their belief in an aquatic demon’s presence.

However, it wasn’t long before their frantic cries ceased.

As rolling white waves and the reverberations surged through, fish, shrimp, turtles, and clams were swept ashore like rain.

Families close by witnessed large fish and shrimp rushed onto land.

In ecstasy, they all strapped on fish baskets and flocked to the riverside joyously collecting fish and shrimp.

Then the entire village frantically rushed to the riverside.

Suddenly, seeing the calming water surface, someone shouted excitedly:

"Water God!"

"That massive wave was the manifestation of Dragon River’s Water God! Water God has appeared!"

"Water God has bestowed food upon us! Quick, kowtow, quick, kowtow!"
