Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 566 - 363: What Are You Doing? (2)
Immediately, all seven Transformation Diagrams were filled with Flood Dragon, Green Divine Eagle, Single-Horned Red Kui, Three-headed Lion, Suanying Tiger, and Moon Shadow Catfish, addressing the Transformation Diagram with a mental command:
"Begin fetus transformation refining shape."
Words flickered on the Transformation Diagram:
[This fetus transformation refining shape is estimated to succeed in seven days]
Seven days?
Chen Ku silently calculated in his heart.
"The three selections of the Divine Martial Hall allow a month, which means they estimate collecting at least a thousand people would take at least a month. This climbing item alone would take ordinary Seventh Realm experts five to six days. Next, there is the test of qualifications and cultivation, which is plenty of time."
So, he began climbing with only Kong Xin, Er Lang, and the Fire Beak Pot.
Er Lang and Kong Xin were refined into their current forms after many transformations and fusions.
Especially Er Lang, who was refined from the Champion Marquis imprint, his root bone was extraordinary. On the Transformation Diagram, New Er Lang’s root bone possesses ’Strength of One Dragon’, comparable to a super-grade quality Hui Dragon Transformation.
Kong Xin’s root bone was refined from Five Elements Peacock, Yuan Country Qi Cultivator, and Golden Shocking Thunder Mastiff, especially the Golden Shocking Thunder Mastiff, whose root bone also had the strength of one dragon. After refining into Kong Xin, just the physical strength alone reached tens of thousands of pounds, far exceeding the strength of one dragon.
After cultivating for so long, Chen Ku himself also had the strength of one dragon with his physical toughness. With a flick of his arms, he exerted several tens of thousands of pounds of force.
At this moment,
He ventured forth with the root bone of approximately three dragons to test climbing.
Step by step he trod forward.
Though difficult, he remained observed by the special rules of the Dragon Ascending Ladder.
Thus, step by step, under great pressure, he slowly reached around the three hundred steps mark.
Chen Ku felt the limits of his root bone.
He realized:
"So, this thousand-step ladder, if solely testing root bone, every hundred steps symbolize the Strength of One Dragon."
In the Divine Martial Academy.
The heads of the great sects also focused on Chen Ku’s movements, slightly raising an eyebrow, and said:
"His root bone is only Three Dragon Power, reaching three hundred steps, next he must utilize martial techniques; however, this means his root bone test only ranks at the level of three dragons. Even if he reaches the peak, not much reward will be given to him."
"Three Dragon Root Bone, reaching one-third, then using other methods to climb only adds one dragon’s power to the root bone."
At this time.
At the climbing steps.
The one who had already reached over nine hundred steps, the ninety-ninth ranked hero Chu Fengwu, upon seeing some changes in Chen Ku, suddenly leaped down from the summit to start climbing anew.
"What? Even Mr. Chu is climbing again?"
"Could it be, our climbing method truly has issues?"
"But, Xue Bailiu climbed it just like this."
However, as Chu Fengwu began climbing again, many on the Heroic List also understood something, seeing the end point just dozens of steps away, they all chose to start climbing anew.
Chen Ku paused at the three hundred steps, not continuing to climb.
His current root bone was just that, further climbing wouldn’t yield much reward, so he waited, waited for the refining of Green Dragon Transformation to complete, and then stacked other transformations.
He wanted to see, without external force, only stacking root bone, the Green Dragon Transformation after refining combined with multiple root bones, how much Dragon Transformation Energy the Dragon Ascending Ladder would reward him upon reaching the peak.
And seeing that many heroes were starting their climb anew because of him,
This undoubtedly gave him more time, without the worry of someone climbing early claiming the top spots reserved for only a thousand people.
And within these seven days.
He could use this time for the Green Dragon Transformation’s shape-shift, preparing two Eighth Realm Evil Qi, already targeted on the eighth realm flames within the Fire Beak Pot, refining two and supplementing nine Eighth Realm Evil Qi, allowing the first moment the Green Dragon Transformation refines to evolve into shape-shifting, acquiring all abilities of the Azure Dragon.
"Brother Chen, it’s as though with your strength alone, you’ve compelled everyone to begin climbing anew with us." Helan Qing looked as everyone stepped back down, excitedly: "Now it’s great, all of us are back on the same starting line, without worrying about distance gaps between us and others due to the test of Dragon Ascending Ladder."
Their root bone kept them below the hundred levels.
Even as they began climbing anew, those heroes who discovered the truth and rules on the Heroic List, their root bone was formidable, quickly returning to the three to four hundred steps position.
Even Chu Fengwu reached directly with root bone to the six hundred steps.
This indicates his root bone had Six Dragons Power.
He relied on root bone to stand foremost among all.
"Is that the limit of root bone?"
Chu Fengwu stood at six hundred steps, looked back below, took a deep breath, gazing at the next four hundred steps, began utilizing martial techniques, a Phoenix Call faintly echoed out, proceeding to climb.
Not long after.
Chu Fengwu became the second person after Xue Bailiu to pass the Dragon Ascending Ladder.
At the moment he endured the six hundred steps test with root bone.
Standing at the dragon steps’ end, he suddenly sensed two pillar formations, dragons entwining claws, golden light emerging to form a light gate, subsequently...
From within that Dragon Gate, six roaring dragon energies rushed forth, infused with robust vitality and essence, burrowing into Chu Fengwu’s body.
In the Divine Martial Academy.
The Great Priest applauded:
"This Chu Fengwu has excellent root bone, unexpectedly receiving six Draconic Transformation Energies."
"Six! Unbelievable."
Gu Heng of Qianyuan Mountain sighed:
"Our Qianyuan Mountain’s ’Nine Dragon Pill’, harvested diverse celestial holy medicines, refined once thirty-three years ago yielding nine pills, each pill could only increase up to Nine Dragon Power, yet... this Chu Fengwu traversed six hundred steps, obtaining a one-pill equivalent to Six Dragons Power, remarkable... this Dragon Ascending Ladder is indeed an ancient era’s divine artifact."
"Precisely due to its effects, our Dragon Abyss Martial Temple decided to bring it out, to reinforce the root bone power of those about to enter the Divine Martial Hall."
The Great Priest spoke calmly:
"These children are the future in the upcoming battle with Yuan Country, this is an investment."
Gu Heng did not speak further.
But his gaze fell on Chen Ku at the Dragon Ascending Ladder, frowning.
Because,
After Chu Fengwu, others gradually also ascended the dragon steps, receiving rewards, yet Chen Ku remained seated at the three hundred steps, seemingly...
Meditating?
Meditating during a test?
What’s he doing?
