I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Viego calculated the time: "...It will probably take another four or five hours, enough time for us to read another book."

"Four, four or five hours?!" Chen Huijie was a little surprised. He looked down at his left hand and couldn't help asking, "Then my hand...must stay like this forever? Master, can we change the position?"

...Why does it sound weird?

Viego was stunned for a moment before he realized that Chen Huijie was not a living dead like him whose body had been transformed by the Curse of Ruin. Even if he maintained the same posture for a long time, he would not feel stiff or uncomfortable.

"Uh... I'm sorry Huijie, I didn't consider your feelings."

He thought for a moment, let go of Chen Huijie's hand, and then placed his palm flat on his leg, saying, "You can move around for a while. As long as you keep your skin in contact with mine, the posture doesn't matter."

"Is that so... I understand, Master!" Chen Huijie moved her left wrist, nodded, and grabbed Viego's hand. "Is this okay, Master?"

Viego looked at Chen Huijie: "Yes, it is possible..."

But don’t you think this is weird?

He was originally just pinching Chen Huijie's wrist with his fingers out of politeness, just to ensure that he could absorb the power of the fragments.

Unexpectedly, Chen Huijie was not shy at all and directly grabbed his hand.

Chen Huijie naturally didn't have so many thoughts on this.

——After all, in her opinion, this is what is common in novels, the master is teaching her skills, so what does a little physical contact matter?

Several of the novels that Stinky Rat sent her contained that...that weird "dual cultivation" plot. At least Viego didn't ask her to be "honest" with him.

On the contrary, Viego's action of pinching her wrist with just his fingers made her feel warm in her heart, and she felt more and more that her master was a gentleman.

This master is really the right one to worship!

Chen Huijie smiled and opened a new e-book:

"Rebirth of the Great Flame: I am the Dragon Lord"!



Chapter 173: Pure Power!

The e-books on Chen Huijie's tablet are all excellent novels with great plot rhythm and writing style, which can make people immersed in them unconsciously.

Under such circumstances, time passed quickly, and Viego had absorbed most of the fragmented power from his cheap apprentice.

——Combined with the power gains brought to him by the special Originium dust environment after the natural disaster, the Curse of Ruin that has been growing stronger during this period is already enough to afford the consumption of a brand.

Chen Huijie closed the e-book, looked up with a lingering look, and suddenly met Viego's smiling eyes.

She was slightly startled and saw her master winking at her mischievously.

Viego smiled slightly and prepared to do something big.

Anyway, it seems that his own disciple also wants some strange phenomena in the world, such as strong winds.

The vision that heaven and earth did not show her.

As the master, he did it himself to show her.

next moment,

The black fog is surging!

The black fog drifted out from the man, spreading out like covering the sky and the sun, and then gathered around the two people holding hands in the next moment.

If you look from a distance, you can see a vortex of pitch-black fog rising straight into the sky, connecting the sky and the earth, surging wildly, sweeping up the source stone veins that have grown due to natural disasters on the wilderness, absorbing them and turning them into dust.

Chen Huijie widened his eyes, looking in shock at the black fog that surrounded him and his master like a storm.

It turns out that strange phenomena really do occur when the power is passed on. Are they all true as written in the novel?!

"Get ready." Viego's gentle voice sounded.

Chen Huijie's face became serious and he nodded firmly to Viego. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but it quickly subsided after he felt the coolness coming from the man's palm.

"Master, I'm ready."

"Okay." Viego chuckled and clasped his apprentice's hand.

The black fog vortex suddenly condensed, collapsed in an instant, and rushed towards Chen Huijie!

Her red eyes widened, her blue hair danced wildly, and she felt a slight chill on the inside of her wrist, similar to the feeling Viego's palm gave her.

The next moment, the brand fell completely and the black fog subsided.

"How do you feel?" Viego looked at Chen Huijie with a smile. Her blue hair had turned snow-white, and the two horns on her head and the long tail behind her had turned black.

——This is also one of the characteristics branded by Viego, just like the "Ruined Legion" series of skins in the previous game.

It's just that the Ruined Legion was forcibly invaded and transformed by the Ruined King's power, and the power was violent, so those transformed heroes not only had snow-white hair, but even their pupils turned into a similar dark green color to that of the Ruined King. That was the color after the Curse of Ruined completely transformed their bodies.

Now, Viego's branding method is gentler and less destructive, and it will not transform her body and cause her harm.

Therefore, when Chen Huijie uses the black mist, her hair will only turn snow-white and her horns and tail will turn black, but her other physical characteristics will not be changed. It is more like a temporary state.

For example, after finishing the first stage with blue hair, the hair turns white and enters the second stage...

To sum up...

——Little Dragon Girl with white hair and red eyes.

A cheap apprentice who is more in line with Okikoku Foyego's preferences.

It’s not that Chen Huijie’s original appearance was not good-looking.

But for some reason, the white-haired and red-eyed ones are more...

The Shining who was branded before had white hair, so when he used the black mist, only the color of the top of his head would change slightly.

Chen Huijie's heart was pounding, still immersed in the astonishing vision. Only when he heard Viego's question did he come back to his senses.

"I..." She lowered her head and looked at her hands - her fingertips were now surrounded by wisps of black mist, which flowed with her thoughts and could be controlled freely.

This is...

The power of the Master...?

Viego handed her a mirror and said, "Huijie, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to. When you use the black mist, your hair, including your horns and tail, will change color."

Viego looked at his apprentice and stroked his chin again: "Come to think of it, I haven't asked you what race you are... You have horns and a tail, could it be Vaifan?"

Or maybe it was some minority race that he didn't know about and wasn't mentioned in the books?

The other world is huge, and there are still many things Viego doesn’t know.

"As for race, they are the Yan Nation Dragon Clan." Chen Huijie answered, taking the mirror and looking into it. "Dragons have difficulty giving birth, and their numbers are very rare in Da Yan, and most of them rarely leave Da Yan. It's normal that you don't know about it, Master."

Looking at herself in the mirror, whose hair color was exactly the same as that of the cheap master, she was stunned for a moment.

It feels like I dyed my hair...

Some are new and a little strange.

But it's also pretty nice.

Moreover, it is the same color as my master...

Chen Huijie tried to relax his control over the black mist and return it to the tattoo-like inverted triangle mark on the inside of his wrist.

The next moment, her hair, tail and horns magically returned to their original color.

Chen Huijie smiled, not rejecting such a change, and thanked Foiego cheerfully: "Thank you, Master!"

The Dragon Clan of Yan Nation...?!

Viego's eyes widened and he was stunned for a moment.

Is it the dragon you imagined?

Damn...

Anyone who was born in the same country as Viego would probably find it hard not to feel excited and fascinated by this word.

That’s a dragon.

It is the most distinctive trace in our culture, and is completely different from the so-called "dragons" in other countries.

Viego came back to his senses and looked at the cheap apprentice in front of him with a subtle expression, whose eyes revealed clear stupidity and excitement.

so...

He accepted a dragon as his apprentice?

Uh...does this count as...Little Dragon Girl?

"Master, what are we going to learn next?" Chen Huijie was a little excited. He put down the mirror and moved in front of Viego.

She couldn't wait to become stronger!

I don’t know if I can ever reach the level of my master.

"Hmm..." Viego thought for a moment. "Then let's learn how to use the black mist to strengthen ourselves first."

He didn't teach Shining these things at first because Shining could borrow the black mist by herself and combine it with her Originium skills. In addition, her Originium skills themselves have ways to enhance themselves, so there is no need for Viego to teach her anything.

"Use black mist to strengthen yourself?" Chen Huijie was a little puzzled.

The way of using black mist is completely different from Originium techniques, and it is a completely new and unfamiliar field for her.

"Yes." Viego nodded and said:

"Try to attach the black mist to your body and cover it. It can improve your physique and increase your speed and strength. As long as you can maintain it stably during the battle, it will improve your strength by more than a little bit."

To use a game analogy, this state is to purely improve the character's stats, with all-round enhancements to attack and defense. It sounds simple, but it is definitely the most practical.

This is even more true in reality.

One step faster, every step faster, the combination of speed and strength brings...

Pure power!



Chapter 174: Two-Way Master-Disciple Relationship

The bonfire leaped and crackled, illuminating the white-haired man sitting beside it and the white-haired dragon girl standing beside him with a sword.

Chen Huijie held the sword, his red eyes focused and determined.

She moved with her mind, trying to let the black mist slowly cover and flow over her body...

Then...

Draw your sword!

Swish-!

The figure of the white-haired dragon girl flashed, broke through the void, and left an afterimage in the sight. She appeared more than ten meters away, maintaining the posture of drawing the sword and slashing down.

Chen Huijie blinked, sheathed the sword in disbelief, and felt the aftereffect of the sword strike just now.

So fast...

And it was not a forced improvement at all. There was no situation where I could not react in time because my speed was too fast.

It is a kind of power that is completely in your hands, an all-round improvement...

Chen Huijie pursed her lips slightly and revealed a faint smile.

After trying for an hour, it finally worked, great...!

but...

Chen Huijie recalled that when he went home for the holiday last year, he used the sword move Ben Ye for the first time in a life-or-death situation. He was also full of pride, but only received a disappointed look from Wei Yanwu.

She will never forget the feeling of having a basin of ice water poured over her head.

"......" Chen Huijie restrained his smile and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist again.

not enough.

We need to become even stronger...
