Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 292 Dragon Blood
There were even more people in the human camp, including Third Brother Li Yuanhe.

Zhou Leng gathered all the disciples of the Ancient River Sect together.

"Next, I'm going to do something that might be a little dangerous, but the rewards will be great."

"I can't say the specifics, but we all have each other's contact information. If we get close, I'll send you a message. Remember to turn on notifications."

"Also, when the other Ancient River Sect disciples arrive, tell them this, but don't tell outsiders."

Zhou Leng gave some more instructions and then called Li Yuanhe aside.

"How are you doing in your studies since you entered the Innate Pavilion?"

"Don't even mention it. Although we all chose nine basic martial arts, I only practiced three before my time was up. Are you implying that you can teach us outside?"

Zhou Leng sent the basic martial arts techniques of the Shadow Wall to Li Yuanhe.

Li Yuanhe's face lit up with joy.

"From now on, I appoint you as the 'temporary instructor' for the outer disciples of the Guhe Sect, responsible for supervising their training in basic martial arts."

Li Yuanhe immediately understood and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

He was three years older than Zhou Leng and had spent many years in military academies and the military, so he naturally understood the importance of this "temporary instructor".

As long as nothing goes wrong, he will surely rise rapidly in the Demon City Army.

Seeing that Li Yuanhe understood, Zhou Leng didn't explain further, saying, "These Martial Shadow Wall recordings are only for them to watch; don't send them to them for now. We'll gradually open them up later. I'm also afraid of going too far and accidentally violating the sect rules, which would bring me wrath."

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then Zhou Leng took out the magic badge from the Snow Mountain Rock and started running according to the direction indicated by the magic badge.

After Zhou Leng left the camp, a group of Eagle Alliance members arrived.

Leading the group was Miller, the top member of the Eagle Alliance's youth generation, who possessed both a skeletal body and a death fire aura. He had silver hair and a faint chill in his eyes.

He exchanged information with the others and rested for a while.

Upon learning that there were some senior martial arts students from Yunhua Jinjing present, he suppressed his intention to challenge them, led his group away, and continued his treasure hunt.

As Miller left the camp, he glanced back at the people inside.

"After leaving the battlefield of youth, I will head north, conquering all the martial arts schools in the Dragon Kingdom, and forging my innate path of combat!" Miller thought to himself as he strode out.

Miller had just left when the members of the Guhe Sect watched his retreating figure.

"This Eagle Alliance member has a strong presence; he seems to be no less imposing than the Three Heroes of Koga."

Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie, and Song Juesi are considered the Three Heroes of Guhe Sect by its disciples.

“I’ve heard of this person. He was the top freshman in the Eagle Alliance last year and has never been defeated except by Li Shenkong.”

“Look at the way he walks. On the surface, it seems light and airy, but in reality, it's like he has extremely profound internal strength.”

"His aura is different; it's cold and sinister, but very strong."

"He should be the chief of the new generation of Eagle Alliance, and he is a threat to everyone below Li Shenkong."

"Ranked 54th on the youth list, and sixth among humans, that's impressive."

"We can't compare to him. I don't know who is stronger between him and San Ying."

"Talented people emerge in every generation, it's hard to say..."

On the way, Zhou Leng donned an artist's mask and a high priest's badge, disguising himself as Guan Canglong.

Reset the Demonic Watch; hide it if possible, or change it to anonymous mode to avoid being discovered by the Demon Worshippers.

At first, they did not encounter anyone else.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the highest mountain, many alien races suddenly appeared, mostly orcs, sirens, demons, and dragons.

They secretly killed a few, but realizing they might alert the enemy, they stopped.

Foreigners often came forward to question him, but thanks to Zhou Leng's status as a high priest of the Ice and Snow Cult, coupled with the Ice and Snow Card, no one dared to investigate further.

As night approached, Zhou Leng arrived at the foot of the highest mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the Monster Alliance used magic to build a temporary town, complete with a moat and city walls.

Zhou Leng was stopped before he could even get close.

Two orc guards came out, speaking broken demonic language.

"Why haven't I seen you?"

“You green-skinned beasts, the consequences of disrespecting the gods are beyond your imagination!” Zhou Leng pointed to the high priest badge on his chest.

Standard demonic language, even with a touch of aristocratic jargon.

Zhou Leng had some knowledge of the rules of the monster world; any sign of weakness from him would not only fail to earn him kindness, but would also arouse suspicion.

The two orcs immediately backed down, forcing smiles and saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency High Priest, of course we recognize you."

Zhou Leng then took out the Ice and Snow Card.

An orc took the inspection, smiled obsequiously, and handed it back, saying, "Your Excellency, we believe in your identity, but the invincible Lord Dark Wrath is afraid that spies may infiltrate. Three days ago, he required that all outsiders need to be recommended by someone who has already joined, otherwise they are not allowed to enter the city."

"Go find the Snow Mountain Rock and tell them I've arrived."

"As ordered."

The two orcs hurriedly ran back.

A short while later, Snow Mountain Rock arrived with two Ice and Snow Cult magic masters and two magic warriors.

The five people approached and bowed their heads in a gesture of respect, touching their foreheads.

Zhou Leng returned the greeting and looked at the two orcs.

"Please go ahead." The two orcs quickly made way.

"Lead the way," Zhou Leng said.

Snow Mountain Rock replied, "Yes, sir." "How is the situation here?"

Snow Mountain Rock glanced at Zhou Leng, who wasn't wearing a mask, and explained the situation as they walked.

"Under the leadership of the invincible Lord Dark Wrath, this place has gathered many demons, sirens, orcs, and members of the Demon Worship Cult, as well as some dragons."

"You've arrived just in time. Tomorrow, Lord Dark Wrath will lead us to that mountain ahead to try and reach the summit."

The snow-capped mountain rocks point to a steep, high mountain ahead.

Under the cover of night, the massive mountain obscured the starry sky.

"This mountain contains treasures that enhance blood? How did you know that?"

"Many years ago, several experts said that the blood near the top of that mountain undergoes a noticeable change, creating a strong attraction. Later, it was discovered that a dragon blood flower grows right in the center of the mountaintop."

"Nobody's gone yet?"

"This mountain is full of strange snakes. Their bodies are snakes, but all sorts of weird things always grow on their bodies and heads. They have thick skin and are very difficult to deal with. Previous attempts to attack them all failed."

Where is Li Shenkong?

“Li Shenkong is indeed powerful and successfully broke through the mountain, but he attacked a different mountain peak, not this one.”

Zhou Lengdao asked, "What's your opinion on Deep Dark Wrath?"

“He has the advantage of flying, and he has already gathered a large number of dragons and some flying demons. He will definitely be able to get through. We have scouted the area, and there are currently three dragon blood flowers on that snake mountain.”

"Each dragon blood flower has nine petals. Obtaining just one petal can greatly increase our strength."

Snow Mountain Rock looked around and whispered, "Only a few people know this. Dark Wrath let it slip. He said that Dragon Blood Flower was once watered with the blood of Starry Sky Dragons, which can greatly enhance the power of dragons. Those strange snakes were all catalyzed by the fragrance of Dragon Blood Flower."

"really?"

“Really. He also said that as soon as he got close to the top of that mountain, he felt the call of the Star Dragon. He has genuine Star Dragon blood, although it is relatively diluted.”

Zhou Leng nodded slightly.

Got it right this time.

That's the power of the Starry Sky Dragon Blood, and its effect on the later condensation of the Dragon Blood Body is unimaginable.

Those with a physical body can seek out giants, those with a strength body can seek out ferocious beasts, and those with a qi body can rely on senior trees, but those with a blood body are the most troublesome, as the dragon race finds it difficult to accept outsiders, especially humans.

If one can obtain the Dragon Blood Flower, it may only take a few Dragon Blood Baptisms to unleash the Dragon Blood Body to its limit.

Zhou Leng walked for a while, then asked, "How should we allocate them?"

Snow Mountain Rock sighed and said, "There are too many demons and too few flowers. We guess he will keep one flower for himself, and then give away nine of the eighteen petals from the other two flowers, and then auction off the remaining nine petals."

"He's quite generous; he doesn't keep everything to himself."

"Although he was short-tempered, he was very intelligent. For him, the dragon blood flower was just an appetizer; climbing to the highest peak was the most important thing. He believed that the highest peak held the strongest treasures, and he was willing to give up some of the dragon blood flowers for the sake of the highest peak."

Someone chimed in, "I reckon he'd only eat one dragon blood flower at most; any more wouldn't be very effective, otherwise he wouldn't have been so generous."

Zhou Leng asked, "Are you really willing to let him have one all to himself?"

"No one is willing to give up. I've heard many demons whispering about it. But we can't beat him, there's nothing we can do."

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said, "As a high priest, I will give the order to auction off the Dragon Blood Flower with all our might and leave it to me. Frosthand and I will cover all the expenses."

The others looked troubled, but nodded helplessly nonetheless.

The high priests are of a much higher status than them.

As Zhou Leng walked, he chatted with them to learn about everything here.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the campfire ahead.

Zhou Leng looked over.

Snow Mountain Rock said, "Another argument has broken out. The brains of those monsters, heh heh..."

As mages, the spirit masters never hide their contempt for monsters.

Two demons fought, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The two sides were evenly matched, and soon both were severely injured and separated by other monsters.

A group of people walked over.

"Respected Snow Mountain Rock, it's been a long time. How is your brother?" The speaker was Shen Jun, a priest from the Rucheng branch of the Demonic Cult. He held an important position because he was a disciple of the Grandmaster, Light of Redemption.

"Respected Shen Jun, it's been a long time. I hope my elder brother is well. I heard that your operation in Rucheng was very successful and caused great damage to Rucheng," said Xue Shan Zhi Yan.

As the two chatted, Zhou Leng glanced at Shen Jun but remained silent.

Zhou Leng still remembered this person. It was this person who had severely injured Deng Zhijue in the deserted village and even tried to kill him when they were chasing the Demon Worshippers.

Fortunately, Chief Instructor Huang Jingqiu intervened; otherwise, he might have died at this man's hands.

After Shen Jun finished speaking with Xue Shan Zhi Yan, he faced Zhou Leng and bowed his head in a gesture of respect.

"Greetings, High Priest."

"Hmm." Zhou Lengman replied casually, maintaining his status as an important person.

"May I ask where you work, sir? Perhaps we'll have the opportunity to collaborate in the future," Shen Jun said with a smile.

Zhou Leng glanced at Shen Jun, then at the Snow Mountain Rock, but didn't answer, continuing to look ahead.

Snow Mountain Rock hurriedly pulled Shen Jun away and headed to a remote place.

"Are you crazy? How could someone of this status reveal their identity!"

Shen Jun said awkwardly, "I didn't know he was hiding his identity; I just wanted to make his acquaintance. Who is he?"

Snow Mountain Rock said, "He is one of Master Frost Hand's men and knows my brother. I suspect he has another identity in the human world, and his current appearance is fake; this image is not on the Youth Ranking."
