Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 491 Tendon Dragon
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond! I'll be waiting for you on the great battlefield!" Aiden rubbed his right hand together gently, his five fingers swirling.

"Who just said they weren't a gentleman?" Zhao He asked, rolling his eyes.

“I can be a gentleman if I want to, and I can’t if I don’t want to…” Aiden suddenly turned to look at Zhou Leng, leaning forward slightly and bringing his ear close to his face.

Everyone present was a skilled martial artist, and Aiden's obvious physical signal drew everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at Zhou Leng again, listening attentively.

One person whispered, "The sound of bones exploding has changed again. It's strange. Compared to the previous sound of bones being forged like a bell, it has a more penetrating quality and is more intense, giving the feeling of bells and drums resounding in the sky."

Xu Ming frowned, then laughed, "The voice has changed, but it's still as sharp as a bell. Li Shenkong was like that when he advanced, so it's nothing special. This kid is really lucky. Look, there are more and more people here."

With Xu Ming interrupting, the others looked around.

Zhao He glanced at Zhou Leng suspiciously, but said nothing.

Emerald Wings stared at Zhou Leng, its eyes flashing with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Aiden squinted and watched for a while before walking to a secluded spot.

The demonic brain at the temples peeked out from a hidden light screen, like glasses interwoven with light, appearing in front of the eyes and activating stealth mode.

He sent Zhao He a message.

What do you think of Zhou Leng?

Zhao He looked at the magic brain for a while. He glanced at Aiden in surprise and then went to a secluded place to activate the stealth mode.

“I have high hopes for him. However, I heard that the Ice and Snow Cult has reduced its resource supply to your family because of him?” Zhao He asked unhurriedly.

"I've also heard that some forces affiliated with your Zhao clan, such as the Lou family, Xu family, Huang family, and Dong family, are planning to take action against Zhou Leng?"

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled.

The intelligence capabilities of powerful military clans are far beyond those of ordinary people.

Zhao He said, "His strength can no longer be suppressed. When he was in the dwarf world, all the factions were already planning to make a move, but they couldn't find him. They were originally going to wait until he came out of the dwarf world before making their move, but he didn't return to Blue Star and went directly into the Great Battlefield. If nothing unexpected happens, the day he leaves the Great Battlefield will be the day all the factions make their move."

"As a friend of many years, I'd like to kindly remind you of something. Our Eagle Alliance's Martial Saint received some news by accident: the highest level of bone forging is not bone forging like a bell, but bone forging with thunderous force."

"What do you mean?" Zhao He asked.

“When bones are forged to enhance muscles, the bone-related power increases so much that it produces a bone-exploding sound. In elementary civilizations, forging bones to the sound of a bell is the limit, but in advanced civilizations, for ordinary geniuses—and I mean ordinary geniuses—a bone-exploding sound like thunder is the basic standard. I suspect that Zhou Leng didn't forge bones to the sound of a bell, but rather forged bones with the sound of thunder. However, since I can't find a precedent, I can only be 99% certain,” Aiden said.

Zhao He was stunned for a moment. He knew Aiden's temperament very well, especially when it came to martial arts, he would never lie.

This means that Zhou Leng has reached Li Shenkong's level in at least one aspect of his qualifications.

Even if he is inferior in other aspects, he is still at the level of Wang Boxiong and Chen Shouhu. If he has no shortcomings in other aspects, he will definitely surpass the two of them.

Zhao He felt a mix of emotions and slowly said, "This is a good thing. It means that our Dragon Kingdom has produced another genius who is infinitely close to Li Shenkong. Your Eagle Alliance will never have a chance to turn things around."

Aiden chuckled and said, "Do you think I don't know what kind of people you are? If he becomes Li Shenkong, what will happen to the major clans? Will your Zhao family help your retainers or your slaves?"

Zhao He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Aiden said, “Our Trupp family will be friends with Zhou Leng forever, and we will never be enemies. But you, Zhao He, are old friends. Zhao Sheng guided me back then, and I must repay that kindness. If you threaten me with Zhao Sheng’s kindness, I might do something against my will to repay the favor.”

Zhao He snorted coldly and said, "Our Dragon Kingdom's internal affairs are none of your Eagle Alliance's business."

Aiden scoffed and said, "You're in me, and I'm in you, so why bother?"

Zhao He said, "Besides, I've never heard of the so-called thunderous bone forging. Who can be sure that you're not just making this up?"

"You don't believe me?" Aiden said slowly. "You don't know about Thunderous Bone Forging, but you've heard of Flesh-Gathering Dragon, right?"

"I have heard of it, but no one has been able to do it."

"The prerequisite for obtaining the Flesh and Muscle Dragon is Thunderous Bone Forging. Next, take a closer look, and you'll see if I'm right or wrong."

Zhao He ignored Aiden and stared at Zhou Leng.

By this time, the thunder had gradually subsided.

However, a few demigod dragons behind the enormous light screen were staring at Zhou Leng.

"Did you hear that sound?"

"heard it."

"The blood of the dragon vein, the bone bursting and the dragon roaring, even we back then could not reach this level."

"It's unbelievable that humanity has reached this level."

"Do you want……"

"He's my man," the voice of the Crimson Eyes rang out.

The demigods narrowed their eyes, and for a moment no dragon spoke.

Several demigod dragons secretly transmitted their voices using their dragon power, cursing loudly.

"That crazy woman, she's clearly a demigod, why does she act like a legend all day long? Who taught her that?"

"If she hadn't gone berserk and become ruthless, we would have attacked her already!"

"Wait, could this human be her lover? That shouldn't be possible."

"Are we just going to let this human genius go like this?"

"It seems they want to obtain the Bloodline Body of my Dragon Clan. That would establish a connection, so there's no need to go to extremes." "If we attract the attention of the Crimson Eyes and cause unrest throughout the entire clan, there's no need..."

Many demigod dragons who were originally uninterested in Zhou Leng also looked towards that secluded corner.

The Thunderous Bone Forging technique has completely stopped.

Everyone saw that Zhou Leng's muscles began to move rhythmically.

It felt like the earth was churning during an earthquake.

Through the skin, you can see the blood and qi flowing within the blood vessels, shimmering faintly.

The martial artists looked at each other. This was somewhat like the Blood Body of a Giant Dragon; otherwise, the blood wouldn't be glowing.

After several seconds of muscle contraction, the large tendons bulged slightly, becoming faintly visible beneath the skin.

"Something's not right, he has way too many tendons..."

"Hmm. Look, several tendons have actually intertwined and merged, as if they have become a completely new form."

“Never.”

"Meat with tendons..." Xu Ming could no longer hide it.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless large veins appeared on Zhou Leng's skin, like tree roots protruding all over his body.

Its appearance is terrifying, like a monster.

The large tendons twisted and turned rapidly like snakes.

Gradually, tendons grow like dragons, intertwining throughout the body like a net or armor.

A moment later, thick tendons, each about the thickness of a thumb, slowly sank down and merged into the flesh.

Zhao He glanced at Aiden, who was smiling.

Even though he didn't understand martial arts, Emerald Wings noticed something was wrong. He chuckled, raised his claw, and used dragon magic to release a black light shield that enveloped Zhou Leng, isolating him from the outside world.

"Too many people talking, don't disturb others," said Emerald Wings.

The martial artists present exchanged glances.

A genius of the human race is rising.

Rao Mingxian sighed inwardly. He had thought he would have to enter the Great Battlefield to witness the rise of a genius, but he hadn't expected to witness it before even entering the door.

Although he didn't quite understand the Flesh-Growing Dragon technique, he knew that Zhou Leng's physical changes far surpassed those of ordinary geniuses.

Xu Ming smiled and said, "This person is indeed lucky. I think he obtained a dragon treasure and cultivated in the dragon world, which triggered a fortuitous encounter. His other powers should not be this strong."

Emerald Wings immediately said, "Yes, yes, his strength is just so-so. He once met an opponent of the same level and was sent flying with one punch. He came back and cried to me. When he encounters the top geniuses, he is still a bit lacking, unlike those martial clans and peerless geniuses who are invincible at the same level."

Xu Ming immediately said, "I think his biggest weakness is that he's too young and lacks practical experience. Also..."

The two, one human and one dragon, began to objectively analyze Zhou Leng's shortcomings, each offering their own perspective.

The crowd ignored the two of them. Even if Zhou Leng was bad in other areas, as long as he was strong in one area, he was enough to be ranked among the top geniuses on Blue Star.

Zhao He pondered for a while, then sighed and sent the message to his attendant who was not far away.

The attendant glanced at the contents, couldn't believe it, read it twice before nodding solemnly, then looked at the black light shield, quickly left, found the magic master, and relayed the message back to the Zhao family.

Rucheng, Yulongwan Community.

The door to Unit 2 was cordoned off with yellow rope, and Li Linhan craned his neck to look inside.

Before long, Deng Zhijue, the martial arts instructor, came out, followed by Feng Wenhao, Wei Hong, and other martial arts students and trainee guards.

Everyone wore gloomy faces, and Feng Wenhao looked lost and bewildered.

"Feng Wenhao, it's me."

Feng Wenhao glanced at Li Linhan, paused for a moment, then turned to look at Deng Zhijue.

Deng Zhijue was aware of the relationship between Li Linhan and Zhou Leng, and also knew that he knew Zhang Meiqin, so he nodded slightly.

Feng Wenhao, wearing glasses and with a refined demeanor, strode out and pulled Li Linhan to a secluded spot.

"how's it going?"

"Uncle Li, it's basically confirmed that Aunt Zhang Meiqin has gone missing. Based on the existing traces and video footage, it's believed that she was captured by the cultists."

Feng Wenhao felt heavy-hearted. Hu Yi's mother had been captured by the Demonic Cult, and now Zhang Xinglie's aunt had also been captured. Xu Qingjin's mother had been captured but was later rescued.

"Huh? Isn't it possible to save her? Didn't Xu Qingjin's mother get saved before?" Li Linhan grabbed Feng Wenhao's wrist with his right hand.

Feng Wenhao's left wrist was throbbing with pain. He glanced at Li Linhan's angry and sorrowful expression and held back from yelling.

"Uncle Li, don't worry. No matter how important Zhang Xinglie's position is, we will do our best to investigate him, even if it's just because of you!"

"Yes, investigate with all your might. What about Xiao Leng? He's a Xiantian cultivator and also works for the Martial Guard. He can definitely help. Xu Qingjin's mother was rescued because of him, right?"

Feng Wenhao nodded vigorously and said, "Anyone who is Zhou Leng's friend will be investigated thoroughly by the higher-ups. They haven't given up on Hu Yi's mother either."

"Has Hu Yi's mother been found?"

Feng Wenhao shook his head.
