At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"A robust physique and abundant vital energy in purple—that must be a tremendous boost in strength and vitality!"

This was the first time Mu Yang had ever seen an attribute that increased base stats reach purple quality.

Filled with curiosity, he immediately thought to himself, "Equip myself with the dragon's corpse!"

[Ding! The dragon corpse has been equipped!]

In an instant, a surge of powerful, solid energy, like a mighty river, flowed into Mu Yang's limbs and bones.

It flows through muscles and bones, across the skin, and reaches the extremities.

A tremendous force seemed to be reshaping Mu Yang's body, with cracking sounds constantly emanating from within.

At the same time, the terrifying blood energy transformed into strands of true energy, opening up the hidden meridians.

The amount of blood and energy far exceeded that provided by the Green-Shelled Mother Crab Demon Corpse, and quickly transformed into true energy, opening up the auxiliary meridians.

One, two, three...

Only when the sixth auxiliary meridian near the Hand Shaoyin Meridian was successfully opened was the true qi transformed from blood and qi finally exhausted.

"They've actually opened up four hidden meridians!"

Mu Yang's eyes lit up.

The purple-quality "Qi and Blood Abundance" attribute is four times more numerous than the blue-quality one.

As expected of the dragon clan, their blood and energy are truly powerful!

After exhausting his vital energy, Mu Yang sensed the changes in his power again.

You won't know until you try, and you'll be surprised when you do.

The purple-quality "Strong Physique" attribute adds a full one million jin of strength!

Now, his single-arm strength has reached an astonishing 297 million jin, just short of reaching 3 million jin.

It has grown by more than half!

"As expected, higher-level demons gain strength much faster..."

Mu Yang clenched his fist, sighing inwardly.

Before coming to Sancha County, his strength with one arm was just over one million jin. After arriving, he easily killed three fifth-tier demons, and his strength nearly doubled.

With the added boost from the 20,000 strands of true energy, the power exceeded ten million jin.

"It seems he can even fight against a martial artist in the Enlightenment Realm..."

Mu Yang recalled the situation of the sixth level of martial arts - the Enlightenment Realm.

The so-called "opening of the orifices" refers to the process of opening up special acupoints in various parts of the body by using the skillful control of true qi after the major meridians are opened.

Each acupoint is equivalent to a pseudo-dantian.

The so-called pseudo-dantian is one that has the effect of storing true qi, but does not have the ability to convert qi and blood into true qi.

As for the pseudo-dantian, that is, the size of the acupoint, it varies from person to person.

The smaller ones might hold two or three thousand strands, while the larger ones are close to the main dantian and can hold nearly ten thousand strands.

Of course, the above are all special cases. Most people have around four to six thousand acupoints.

It is worth mentioning that the number of acupoints in the human body is limited by the number of major meridians, and therefore is also finite.

There are only five in total.

All of the above were notes that Mu Yang saw in Yuwen Shukuang's sleeve pocket.

More specific information will probably only be available after he obtains the enlightenment method.

After experiencing the increase in power, Mu Yang tried the bonus brought by strengthening his divine soul.

By observing the changes in the range of the Dream Weaving ability, Mu Yang determined that his soul strength had increased by more than half.

The area that was originally only covered by a radius of three kilometers has been increased to five kilometers.

It is ten times larger than the original 500-meter radius area.

The increase in the strength of the dragon's bones and muscles is difficult to test, but the increase in the strength of the dragon's scales and armor is very obvious.

Mu Yang tested the combination of Spider Spear and Sharp Gold Tiger Claw, and found that his physical strength of three million jin was completely insufficient to break through it.

It's like trying to scratch thick leather with a dull knife—completely useless, not even leaving a white mark.

It wasn't until Mu Yang increased his strength to nearly eight million jin that he managed to draw a bloody mark, but with his exaggerated self-healing ability, it recovered in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, Mu Yang activated the defensive effect of the Flood Dragon Scale Armor. This time, even if Mu Yang went all out, he was only left with a faint white mark.

Mu Yang predicted that with his physical defense and the activation of the dragon scales, even if the little dragon revived and frantically whipped its tail, it wouldn't be able to break through his defenses.

"Looks like I need to learn more offensive techniques. I can't even break through my own defenses, let alone fight the enemy!"

Mu Yang sighed inwardly and tested the power of the Flood Dragon Claw again.

Its effect is similar to that of the Golden Tiger Claw, which also has a blue attribute.

However, perhaps because the Flood Dragon Claw requires water-attribute true energy to activate, it cannot coexist with the Sharp Metal Tiger Claw, which is activated by metal-attribute true energy.

Unless you don't use attribute-bearing true qi, and only use attribute-free true qi to activate it.

Only in this way can the four-fold combination of Spider Spear, Sharp Gold Tiger Claw, Flood Dragon Claw, and Blue Crab Claw coexist.

However, without the support of elemental true energy, even the four-fold combination skill is only slightly more powerful than the previous three-fold combination skill.

Its strength is limited.

In comparison, the Seven Wounds Force is more powerful.

The blue attribute "Water Dragon Tail" is indeed more powerful than "Dragon Claw," but because it attacks with its legs, it's difficult to create combo attacks.

It only slightly supplements the available combat moves.

As for the purple attribute "Sinking Rain," its effect is an area-of-effect support skill that inflicts negative status effects on enemies.

Mu Yang wasn't too concerned about its effect on reducing the target's status; what he liked more was its ability to make it rain anytime, anywhere.

This thing, combined with water control, is a perfect combo.

Speaking of water control, Mu Yang subconsciously glanced at the last entry on the dragon's corpse—

Water control (purple)!

This wasn't the first time he had acquired the Water Control attribute; he had already gained this ability when he equipped the Catfish Clan.

It even used its stronger spiritual power to directly disable the little dragon's abilities.

"So, what's the point of obtaining duplicate entries like this?"

Mu Yang was somewhat puzzled.

The effects of repeated or solidified entries for pills are cumulative.

The principle is the same as the superposition of physical strength and spiritual power.

But water control isn't a numerical value; isn't one such thing enough?

While pondering, Mu Yang casually waved his hand, and a mini water dragon flew out of the well.

"Um?"

Mu Yang was stunned when he saw the mini water dragon that was at least two zhang long.

This water dragon is less than one-tenth the size it was when it fought the battle.

To his surprise, the true energy he had just used was only enough to summon a water dragon that was one zhang long, but now, a two-zhang long one had appeared.

"Could it be...?"

Mu Yang seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

With another casual move, a four-zhang-long water dragon flew out.

"The same amount of energy yields twice the effect!"

"I see, so this is how the same ability attributes work!"

Mu Yang was overjoyed.

Doesn't this mean that if he adds a few more water control attributes, their power will be stacked?

One unit of consumption yields ten times, or even a hundred times, the amplification effect!

"I should have known better than to kill this dragon first; I should have asked it where it's from!"

Mu Yang sighed inwardly, feeling like he had missed out on a hundred million.

"Looks like I might try looking for monsters with large families in the future. The rewards would be plentiful, and they wouldn't be lonely on their journey to the underworld!"

Mu Yang dispersed the water dragon, thinking to himself, "Sigh, I'm still too kind-hearted. I even have to consider the feelings of demons."
